blood plague

Chapter 26 Windfall
Although the way back was not long, it was very difficult. One was because there was a small slope along the way, and the other was that all the energy accumulated from breakfast and extra meals was exhausted by everyone's running just now.

Iger was still panting when he climbed the hill empty-handed, and the upper limit of his physical strength not only did not recover, but also dropped further.

Fatigue: Maximum stamina -20.

Physical overdraft: The upper limit of physical strength is -18.

Iger originally wanted to apply for a longer rest at the same place, but as the only one of the four who did not shoulder the task, it seemed a little embarrassing to make such a request on his own initiative.

Iger gritted his teeth and dragged his legs to compete with the dirt road. At this time, Joanna walked side by side with him.Joanna lightly touched Iger's shoulder with her shoulder and said, "Hi, thank you so much just now."

Iger nodded, his throat was so dry that he didn't want to speak anymore.

The wave of escape just now seemed to be without danger, but if Iger hadn't helped Joanna out of trouble in time, it's hard to say what would happen after Vance triggered the siren.

Iger is also a little annoyed and regretful now. Of course, he is not annoyed that he discarded Joanna's backpack on the pickup truck, but that he should wait patiently for a few more seconds at the corner of the street.

Maybe it only takes a few more seconds for Iger to find out that the target of the infected is not him, and then he can slowly shoot the infected under the cover of the siren without haste.

This is different from the meaningless killing of zombies in the game. Infected people will not be generated out of thin air, and one will be lost if one is killed.In the long run, all infected people in the community must be completely eliminated, so if we can do more about this matter, we may not have such a good chance next time.

Everyone saw Sister Maria looking out from the bell tower from a distance, and saw Sister Maria waving at them, and Iger also waved to her enthusiastically in response.

After Iger waved his hand a few times, he found that something seemed wrong. Sister Maria was not welcoming them, but trying to remind them of something.

There are pursuers!
Iger finally understood Maria's gesture. He turned around and took a few steps to the top of a small slope beside the road, looking down the mountain condescendingly.

Sure enough, a humanoid was running towards them.

It is said that it is a humanoid creature, mainly because it is difficult for Iger to judge whether it is a survivor or an infected person.

He is said to be a survivor, but his running appearance is obviously a bit weird, and he staggers with obvious "zombie steps"; if you want to say that he is an infected person, he is carrying a huge wilderness survival backpack. There are a lot of expansion ports, and you can see things like sleeping bags or tents hanging on the sides and top of the backpack.

Infected people generally don't do this behind their backs, do they?
If it is really an infected person, unless it is a courier delivering goods to your door.

Aiger lay on the ground with a gun, and when the man's body became the size of the target, Iger yelled at him: "Who are you?"

The humanoid creature looked up at Iger's direction and did not slow down.

"If you are alive, just agree, or I will shoot you!"

Iger's words were very intimidating, and the humanoid creature stopped immediately when it heard it.He raised his finger and pointed to his throat, then raised his hands and swayed frantically from side to side.

Well, it seems that he is not an infected person, and an infected person would not make such a move.

"Come here." Iger shouted loudly, but he didn't stand up, nor did he relax his aim.

This is a survivor, and even a survivor of unknown origin. Iger doesn't know if there are infected people chasing after him, let alone if there are other survivors with malicious intentions behind him.

Harmfulness is not allowed, and defensiveness is indispensable.

Iger is condescending at this time and there is a thick natural bunker in front of him. Two or three survivors cannot break through him head-on.

In fact, Iger is modest. A living person does not have to lead the head like an infected person. If a bullet hits the torso, even if he cannot be killed on the spot, he can only fall to the ground and wait for rescue.It's not like playing a game of eating chicken, and running away after being shot a few times.

A sharpshooter and a precision rifle can easily rule a large area with a wide range of vision.

Iger pointed his gun at the survivor, but the survivor might have mistakenly thought that Iger was covering for him. After he was obviously relieved, it seemed that his strength could no longer be picked up. It took him more than ten minutes to walk to the fourth floor. In front of people, and for more than ten minutes, the four of them had a good rest on the spot.

No pursuers, no backup.

Iger finally put away his gun, and his physical upper limit returned to 60 points.

The survivor staggered over, and when he approached, he finally sat down on the grass slope slightly higher than the dirt road as if he lost his strength, while Vance and the other four surrounded him vigilantly.

"Who are you?" Vance was holding a crowbar in his hand, and a dark red logging ax was hanging on his waist. You could tell from the color that the ax was stained with a lot of human blood.

"I'm Fran VanderMeer." Fran gasped weakly, "I escaped by myself."

"Huh?" There is something in this sentence.

"I saw that you guys came to rescue me, and you specially lured away the large group of monsters for me." Fran said gratefully, "So I seized the opportunity and escaped through the window."

I ×, this turned out to be the survivor who they were going to rescue, but after the rescue operation failed unexpectedly, they escaped by themselves?
From this survivor's perspective, the rescue operation was a great success.

The Gospel Search and Rescue Team first deliberately triggered the alarm to divert the group of infected people away, and then sharpshooters shot and killed the infected people continuously to reduce the number.

If you don't escape at this time, when will you wait?

Sure enough, Fran withdrew behind the Gospel search and rescue team, and did not see another infected person until he left the community, indicating that this street has been cleared by the search and rescue team and is a safe passage.

Fran's physical strength is very weak now, he can't catch up with the search and rescue team, he can only follow them from a distance, finally, halfway up the mountain, the search and rescue team finally stopped.

After hearing Fran's statement, the four of Iger looked at each other in blank dismay, and it turned out that this was the case.

"Yes, this is our plan." Iger admitted shamelessly.

For things like selling favors, sell them if you can. After all, the facts are here, and he didn't say no.

"Let's go, let's go back to church together." After putting away the baseball bat in his hand, Father Locke patted Fran on the shoulder lightly.With this light slap, Fran was staggered by the slap.

Father Locke was indeed born with supernatural powers.

wrong!

Iger took two steps forward and touched Fran's forehead, which was very hot.

He is infected!
