blood plague

Chapter 256 The Gospel Church
After returning to Rose Town, Erica went back to her old job, training.

But this time Erica is not limited to training the security team, her training has been extended to all members of the reclamation team.

Erica took Pete and seriously gathered the members of the reclamation team and started training. After the training, the security team performed daily patrol tasks, and the others went to work.

Iger told Erica about a personnel composition model called militia.Iger's talk is very mysterious, what is for the people in peacetime and soldiers in wartime, come when called, go away as soon as you call, understand skills and combat power, etc., and so on.

Iger was just too nagging, and Erica knew from a few words that Iger was talking about the National Guard.

The National Guard model is very suitable for the current Ross Township, and most members of the reclamation regiment have also adapted to the life of part-time work and part-time combat.

Although the members of Bella's team had slightly higher combat literacy, they had not received complete and systematic training. They just left a bunch of people on the battlefield, and those who survived were naturally veterans.

This approach seems to be no problem, but in actual combat, a person who has not experienced training and has grown up in the flames of war is the kind of soldier in a third world country.

Elite soldiers must undergo complete and systematic training, learn various defense knowledge, and get rid of wrong cognitions and habits.Most of the military actions are rigid and ridiculous in the eyes of civilians, but they don't want to think about why there are such strict action requirements.

For recruits, veterans are actually even more difficult to train. Once they form wrong cognitions, they reinforce their mistakes in actual combat. Because survivor bias keeps them alive, they stubbornly believe in their wrong cognitions.

Erica's style is very hard. She likes to let her subordinates feel with their bodies, such as why your action is wrong, and under what circumstances it will kill you.

This kind of effect of Erica is very good, and everyone praised it one after another. I really don’t know if I don’t learn it.

It is Bella who will complain, saying that the recent consumption of medical supplies is a bit too much.

Among these trained people, there are also extremely outstanding people, such as Bill.Bill's physical fitness is very good, and his nerve reflexes are extremely fast, and any movement is very fast, and he has never lost in confrontation training.

But it was Maria who really impressed Erica.

As the Chief of Internal Affairs, Maria does not need to participate in military operations, so she does not need to participate in security class training with others, but Maria insists on joining, and her progress can be seen every day.

It's lunchtime now, and hopefully two people in one of the cathedral's bedrooms aren't taking as much energy from their midday sleep as the others.

"Sister Alison, pray with me now.

I am willing to dedicate my body, mind, and spirit to the Lord, and pray for the Lord’s forgiveness and mercy..."

While leading Alison to pray, Maria was putting together a bunch of parts.When the AR15 in her hand was assembled, Maria pulled the bolt, aimed, and pulled the trigger.

After hearing a "click", Maria put down the gun and disassembled it into a pile of parts, and then reassembled it.

This is a bedroom with only one small window, and the furnishings in the bedroom are extremely simple.An old wooden cross was hung on the only clothes rack, and a nun dressed in black was kneeling and praying devoutly facing the wooden cross with her hands folded.

Beside her, a long-haired woman was fiddling with a gun while leading prayers.The prayers of the two were mixed together with the mechanical sound, forming a unique rhythm.

"We are all guilty.

Amen. "

……

In the conference room of the Morgan Building in Rapid Creek Town, Iger is making this battle report.

"Because of this sudden fire, the commercial area of ​​Pudo City was almost completely burned down. According to preliminary investigation, all the infected people in this area were also burned to death by the fire.

According to the experience of the joint field team in scattered operations during this period, only the slums are left in the areas where the infected people gather in Puduo City.

My combat suggestion is that for low-value areas such as slums, napalm attacks can be considered. "

Iger's combat report made everyone feel ups and downs all the time. When Iger said that hundreds of infected people who were on fire rushed out of the Nancheng Building and ran around the ground, everyone's hearts were raised.

In this way, all kinds of coincidences overlapped, and finally evolved into this.

On the bright side, although the business district is gone, the most important Nancheng Building in the business district has been preserved, and the underground shopping malls and warehouses of the Nancheng Building are intact.

Taking a step back, from a strategic point of view, the priority of eliminating the infected in the current mission is to collect materials.

After hearing Iger's combat report, Lily was sure that Iger was not kidding herself. He really wiped out nearly 3 infected people this time, and the actual number should be much more.But if it is going to be broadcast on the radio, how should it be told?
Lily lowered her head and thought about her broadcast. She didn't pay attention to the subsequent meeting, but only vaguely heard that more napalm bombs would be produced.

Allen didn't expect that the napalm bomb he made would have such a big consequence in the end. He was half proud and half ashamed.Although the wound on his neck is still not healed today, the blood plague infection has subsided, and Allen feels that he can start working.

There was no need for Allen to ask for a fight on his own, and Iger didn't want him to be idle.Iger needs Allen to make the napalm bomb he will use in the next operation.

The next third stage of action is mainly the reoccupation of the Nancheng Building and the cleanup of the slums.

After the second operation, the current form is already clear.

First of all, it is necessary to clean up the slums of Pudo City in one go, and then send a team to wipe out the infected people who deliberately lured them outside Pudo City.

These actions require the Nancheng Building as an outpost to provide manpower and material support.However, the Nancheng Building was badly burned by a fire, and now it needs to be cleaned and repaired first.

Among other things, the door is gone, so I have to find a way to re-solder it or fix it.Iger doesn't understand this aspect, and no one in the joint field team understands, so he needs to go back to Jixi Town to find help on this matter.

The second field operation was over, but because the number of days on duty was too short, Iger decided to continue leading the team to perform the third joint field operation.

Among the field operations personnel, the people from the reclamation team brought by Iger continued to go, but the Gospel team in Rapid Creek Town needed to be replaced. First of all, they could not let Nicholas who had done two rounds continue to play another round, and then the Gospel team needed to Replace the field team and replace the security team.

After resting for a day and taking the necessary tools, the joint field team set off for Pudo City.

It's only April, and the weather is already very hot. Fortunately, the air-conditioning of the pickup truck is fully turned on. Coupled with the beer cans, it gives people a refreshing feeling.

Since it was necessary to invite Vance out of the mountain, Iger naturally spent a lot of money, smiling faces, flattery, and beer.This time there was enough beer, even Joanna who was driving got a can.

After scratching his head, Vance also threw a can to Iger.

It's bullshit for anyone under the age of 21 not to drink. Vance didn't give Egger beer before because he couldn't bear it.

There were only Vance, Iger and Joanna in the pickup truck. It was a long way to Pudo City, and Vance decided to talk to Iger about something he didn't know.

"Iger." Vance was sitting in the co-pilot. He drank beer and asked without looking back, "Do you know what Locke used to do?"

Locke?

Father Locke?Own godfather?

Isn't he a priest all his life? Is there a story here?
Iger shook his head.

Vance asked Iger again: "Do you know how powerful the Evans family is?"

Iger also shook his head.

Vance continued to Iger: "The designated heir of the Evans family ran to a small rural town and hid for decades. The entire Evans family didn't even fart. Doesn't anyone find it strange? ?"

When Vance said this, Iger suddenly realized that things were really not that simple.He remembered that the Evans family was secretly contacting his two elder brothers, explaining that they knew that Dad was hiding here.

A family gangster should hate the coward who betrayed the family the most. However, since he can live to such an extent with peace of mind, it shows that the Evans family has not treated his family members except for private and secret contacts.

Could it be that everything has something to do with Father Locke?
"You know what a C1A is?" Vance said. "They're a bunch of people who do everything but good things. Luckily we're protected by great federal laws, so they're all out of the country."

Iger was a little confused as to why this was brought up all of a sudden.

"Locke used to be the captain of an action team in C1A." Vance said this out of nowhere, which startled both Iger and Joanna.

Vance's words brought back Iger's memories.

Father Locke's tall figure is extremely oppressive, and Iger once thought about how such a person could become a priest.

"Lock led a team to do black work in the country south of us for several years, all of which are not recognized by the country." Vance said to Iger: "There was an operation to kill a high-value Target, C1A team planted bombs on the side of the road.

As a result, when the target convoy passed by, a campus bus full of students happened to pass by.

Locke didn't hesitate at all, he gave the detonation order at the perfect time.

This job was naturally rewarded by the superiors, but after the operation was over, Locke submitted his resignation report.

He returned to the country, erased his previous existence records, and came to this unshielded countryside to become a priest who even had to build churches by himself. He worked for 40 years. "

Hearing Vance's story, Iger and Joanna were shocked.Father Locke actually has such a past.

Now it all made sense, why my father was able to spend so many years in the countryside safely.

After receiving Locke's protection, even the underworld family, which is so powerful that the Evans family can easily occupy half of the new holy city, dare not send people to clean up the house.

Iger also thought of Father Locke taking out many "inconvenient to take home" things for the congregation from time to time, and he never felt that there was anything wrong.

Then, Iger thought of an important detail that he didn't care about at all: Three days after the blood epidemic broke out, everyone realized that the end of the world had arrived.Why did the gospel community, a micro-community without even a small black dot on the map, receive an airdrop containing extremely precious healing serum when the "severance pay" was paid at the end.

I am really too stupid, and I only know this now.

Infinite remorse rose in Iger's heart.

"I'm telling you these things just to tell you." Vance threw the empty beer bottle out of the car window casually. He looked at the distant scenery and said, "There are no purely good people in this world."
