blood plague

Chapter 257 Set fire
After Vance told these stories, the three never talked again, and only the monotonous sound of the car's engine and air conditioner remained in the car.

After nearly two hours of driving, the convoy crossed the town of Todo and came to Pudo City.

Of course, Vance in Pudo City has been here many times, but this is the first time he saw Pudo City in such a ghostly manner.

"You're really capable." Vance, who was sitting in the co-pilot, said sarcastically to Iger in the back row.

Iger smiled awkwardly.

Afterwards, everyone got out of the car and gathered in the white ash-covered Nancheng Square.

Iger simply arranged the task again.

Yesterday, Allen worked overtime with a few helpers and made several ignition napalm bombs.According to the feedback of the effect that day, there is no need to use any complicated detonation method of remote control, as long as it is simple and primitive.

There are 2 useless napalm bombs in the Nancheng building. Take them out and put them together. Referring to the experience of the day before yesterday, as long as there is no sudden heavy rain, it should be enough to ignite the fire.

In the third joint operation, the most important task of the first step is to completely eliminate the infected people in Pudo City.

Iger felt that the infected had entered the stage of maturity of screamers and could not be dragged on any longer. He was going to take someone to set the fire today.

The commander stationed at the Nancheng Building is Vance, and the adjutant is Allen.

Originally Iger wanted to keep Unde, but he suddenly remembered that Vance had a red neck, and Unde was the kind of brother Vance hated most: bad-mouthed and hot-tempered.The two worked together, and Iger worried that only one of them would be alive when he returned.

Allen's injuries were not too serious. His sudden coma that day was mainly due to the dual effects of blood plague infection and tranquilizers.The sedatives taken orally are usually slow-release preparations, and it is reasonable to say that the onset would not be so fast, but Alan chewed a few sedatives and swallowed them, and the effect of the medicine came a bit violently.

For Vance, Iger felt that there was no need to explain anything, and he felt that it was useless to talk too much, and he might be scolded.Let Vance rest assured here. Iger took Unde and two other male field team members, and after getting into the pickup truck, they headed towards another landmark building in Pudo City, the tallest building that stands alone like a golden rooster. 18-story apartment building rushed to.

This apartment building is located on the edge of the slums in Puerto City, and the residents living in it belong to the kind of residents who are neither above nor below.As long as the economic conditions are better, who doesn't want to live in that kind of big house with grass in front and backyard.

Of course, living in this kind of apartment building with perfect supporting facilities and a decent environment is more comfortable than living in the low shack across the street.

This operation was so risky that even Iger couldn't plan a retreat route.

If you want to safely cover the slums with napalm bombs, you have to climb up to this apartment building. More precisely, considering the range of the slingshot, you need to climb to the top of the building to shoot the napalm bombs as far away as possible.

This apartment building has narrow corridors and high floors, and it is the only one in Jinji.Once the infected people are blocked upstairs, it is really ineffective. Iger can't think of any way to escape except to find a place to wait for help.

There is a saying "How can you find tiger cubs if you don't enter the tiger's den".

The battle situation in Puduo City is now like this, and Iger doesn't want to spend another half a year to slowly take it down. Since he wants to be efficient, he has to take certain risks.

Iger estimated that it was worth doing.

The pickup truck was heading towards the apartment building along the street. The street was still full of various vehicles, but it was very easy to drive today. When encountering a street blocked by vehicles, the pickup truck took advantage of the houses that were destroyed by fire on both sides of the road. The foundation is simply crossed.

As the last safety measure before the action, Iger asked Joanna to drive a pickup truck around the slums quickly.

Except for a few infected people who were alarmed by the pickup truck, no group of infected people were found wandering around the periphery of the slums, and no screams were heard.

Joanna parked the pickup truck downstairs, and then everyone got out of the car and came to the compartment, carrying their equipment on their backs.

Iger took out his severely worn MP5, which he refused to scrap and was reluctant to use. The muffler barrel of the MP5 is also worn out badly, whatever it is, it’s better than nothing.

Joanna is carrying a shotgun, and she is still serving as Iger's observer. When Iger walks ahead, Joanna needs to cover behind him.

The remaining Unde and two other field team members carried heavy backpacks containing napalm bombs.That's not all, everyone is still holding a large pile of steel parts, which is a huge composite slingshot designed by Allen and manufactured by Vance.

The total weight of each of these three field team members has exceeded 50 kilograms, and they will have to climb the 18th floor later, they are simply donkeys in human form.

Of course, in order to cheer them up, Iger received a bottle of energy drink from Andy.

Watching Andy take out the key slowly, unlock the three locks hanging on the iron locker in turn, take out a bottle of energy drink from the locker, and then hang the three big locks again with great patience.

Iger nodded in satisfaction.

Although Robin and Heidemi were not convicted, Andy was no fool.All leftover crystals and energy drinks are locked in his office, and Andy keeps it himself.

This hard-won energy drink was divided into three portions and distributed to three porters.

After drinking up the energy drink in one gulp, Ang De and the other three became visibly excited about ten minutes later.

I saw one team member lying on the ground performing one-handed push-ups, and the other team member kept doing jumping jumps. When it comes to Unde, who is the best, he is actually doing street dance, all of which are difficult movements of turning his head on the ground .

Iger interrupted the talent show of the three and ordered them to put on their gear and get ready to go.

After Iger and Joanna put a pair of flashlights on each other's football helmets and turned them on, Iger walked into the dark corridor with a gun in hand.

The interior of this apartment building is even more dilapidated than what you see from the outside. It is estimated that the exterior walls have been repainted. The walls inside the fire stairs are the original configuration of the apartment building.

Seeing this large piece of peeling wall and looming red bricks, Iger felt as if he had traveled to another time and space, and came to the disintegrated Soviet Union.

Maybe this apartment building was really built during the Cold War.

During the Cold War era, in order to stabilize the bottom class, the Western camp spent some money and energy on improving the living conditions of the bottom class.With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the end of the cold war, the greatest threat to the western bloc is gone, they are safe, so they can stop pretending.

Since then, large-scale welfare infrastructure has come to an abrupt halt, and those already under construction have become a feast for rentiers.

The construction period is getting longer and longer, the budget is getting more and more, but the quality of the project is getting worse and worse, so that there are such extreme models as Clyde and Lal.

Unlike the Nancheng Building, there is no fire door on each floor of the fire escape to separate the stairs from the corridor. However, due to the structural problems of the apartment, there are no windows in the corridor, and there are densely packed houses on the left and right. A straight black well can be seen leading into the distance.

The blood plague has been breaking out for a long time, and even if there are infected people in the stairwells and corridors, they have already gone downstairs to shop.As the footsteps of Iger and others echoed in the stairwell and corridor, in this seemingly empty apartment building, Iger vaguely heard the sound of a door being smashed.

Iger ignored the infected people who were locked in his home. The doors here are not so easy to open. On average, there are at least 5 mortise locks behind each door. Let alone the infected people, even ordinary people are drunk for a while Even half a meeting may not be able to open the door.

After Iger and Joanna took two breaks, the group finally climbed to the top of the building.

The roof was wide, about the size of two basketball courts, and it was still covered with faded clothes and sheets that its owners would never collect again.

As soon as they reached the top of the building, Iger and Joanna sat down on the ground with exhaustion.Speaking of it, climbing the 18th floor is just climbing three 3th floors.

Many people have the experience of climbing the 6th floor, and many men ran up in one breath.

But the 18th floor is much more difficult than the three 3th floors, and the difficulty is probably doubled.

The three of Ang De are in good condition, and Iger doesn't even need to command them. The three of them don't even need to put down their backpacks.

Looking at the appearance of these people, Iger recalled how he felt when he drank energy drinks.

Indeed, after drinking the energy drink, I feel that my thinking is very clear, my brain turns very fast, and my self-awareness is very good, good, better, best.There is no better feeling than this.

But in the sober third-party cognition, there is definitely a bias in the consciousness of the person above the energy drink.

Iger didn't care about Unde and the others who were working until they installed the giant slingshot and wanted to launch the napalm bomb without even doing a test shot. Iger jumped over and called a stop.

"Stop!" Iger yelled.

After Iger walked over, he stopped Unde who was holding a napalm bomb. He said to Unde very seriously: "Test with an empty tank first."

Be sure to try it out.

This is a napalm bomb. If the slingshot is not installed properly and the napalm bomb is not fired after being ignited, but directly hits the ground, the book will be GG.

Under Iger's order, the two field team members pulled up the rubber band of the slingshot with both hands. They retreated like a tug of war, and Iger stepped on the steps to calculate the distance.

Allen said that the minimum launch distance is 8 meters, and the maximum distance should not exceed 14 meters. Taking the median value, it should be about 10 meters.

Seeing that the two field team members obviously pulled the rubber band more than 14 meters, and now they still want to pull it, Iger decisively stopped.

"stop!"

After the two people stopped, Iger shouted to them: "Listen to my password, three, two, one, let it go!"

The two hands loosened at the same time, and the rubber band snapped back.

After seeing that there was no problem with the test shot, Iger drew the machete on his back and drew a line on the ground.

8 meters, 9 meters, 10 meters, all the way to 14 meters.

"Joanna, you come to be the launch commander." After Iger arranged the task for Joanna, he said to the impatient Unde: "You can reload."

This giant rubber band requires a minimum of 5 people to operate.

Two people held the leather pockets, and a third person stood behind them and used a long rope to hold the napalm bomb. After the firing command was given, the three people had to let go at the same time.

Then there is the need for an ignition officer, and Joanna is responsible for ignition and issuing launch instructions.

The last is the observer. The observer needs to observe the explosion of the napalm bomb, and then issue a launch force command.

The three sturdy men pulled their leather pockets and retreated to a position of 10 meters. Joanna lit a windproof lighter in her hand.

"Get ready, three, two, one." When Joanna counted to one, she lit the fuse with a lighter, "Launch!"

When the three men heard the password, they let go at the same time, and the napalm bomb was stretched by the rubber band and flew into the distance.

"beng!"

A beautiful flame flower bloomed in the air, and then the rain of fire fell from the sky, covering almost half the area of ​​the football field.

Iger stared down and looked down. The rain of fire fell, but it didn't work.

"Again! This time 12 meters."

"beng!"

"14 meters."

"beng!"

After Iger finished firing the third napalm bomb, he saw billowing smoke rising from the slums.

The fire finally kindled.
