blood plague

Chapter 268

Another week passed without incident.

For Iger, this week has been quite pleasant. Every day is just walking around, writing and writing, and eating and drinking.

For others, it's still a very full (busy) week.

The rainy season is finally here.

The torrential rain brought by the hurricane has been falling for two days and three nights. Although it is much smaller, it has not stopped.

Due to the heavy rain, all outdoor work has been suspended. Fortunately, with the intensive rush of work a few days ago, several major tasks were finally completed before the rainy season came.

The fence has already been built, but when the heavy rain comes, it is estimated that a lot of soil will be washed away, and it will be enough to fill it up after the rain.

The wheat on the farm has also been sown. According to Iger's maximum planting requirements, Little John has planted all the land on a farm, about 80 acres.

According to the guaranteed minimum harvest of 1 ton per acre, the reclamation team will have 1 tons of grain in reserve by autumn.

Thinking of this, Iger felt happy.

Kate got the trucks back too, and instead of picking the biggest trailer truck, she drove back a couple of all-in-one vans.With the van, there is a door to Ross Town.

Several trucks lined up side by side on the road, reducing the area of ​​the road by half.The rear of the truck was welded with a steel plate cut from other places to block the gap below, and then using the height of the truck that was far higher than the wall, the gate was completed.

At night, the guards will reverse the last truck from the side of the road and fill in the last gap in the road, so that Ross Town forms a complete closed loop.

The fortifications of Ross Town were completed in good time.During this period of time, Iger found that there were more and more vehicles crossing the border. He secretly remembered that in just a few days, hundreds of people had passed through Ross Town.

Iger has a hunch that the security pressure in Jixi Town will further increase, and it is estimated that Andy will ask him to borrow troops again.

Now that Iger has plenty of manpower, it is no problem to send two or three teams to Andy.

Sure enough, at noon that day, Iger received a call from the gospel radio, calling Iger and Maria to go to Rapid Creek Town.

Rainy day was not a good weather to go out, but since Andy called at this time, it means that he has encountered a very difficult matter.

The sky outside was as dark as night. If it wasn't for the time displayed on the watch, Iger would never have thought that it was noon.

The wipers had been turned to the maximum, but the visibility was still very low, and Joanna did not dare to drive too fast. The pickup truck slowly drove towards Rapid Creek Town at a speed of less than 40 mph.

After finally reaching Rapid Creek, Iger rushed forward against the heavy rain, and finally entered the Morgan Building before his pants were soaked.

"What a bad weather." Andy, who had been waiting at the door, handed out a towel to Iger, whose upper body was soaked.

Joanna saw that the rain was too heavy, she refused to get out of the car directly, it would be nice to stay in the car.

"Maria is here, let's go upstairs." Andy said straight to the point without being too polite to Iger.

When we arrived at the chairman's office on the 4th floor, Maria had already arrived.

I haven't seen her for almost ten days. After seeing Maria, Iger feels that she still has some changes. For example, wearing this kind of clothes with a deep neckline is no longer stiff and uncomfortable.

After closing the office door, Andy slowly walked back to the chairman's chair and sat down.

Andy said to Iger and Maria with exhaustion and anxiety: "Our situation is very critical now. Iger should know something, but I don't know if you have done the statistics. In just ten days, entering the gospel team There are a total of 202 survivors in the safe zone."

Ah, so much.

Iger was also taken aback. He sat at the door of the church and counted every day, but he missed dozens of people.

"These 202 people are subdivided, and they have all kinds of needs." Andy said to the two: "The part of the team that is willing to form an alliance and the team that is not willing to form an alliance have been sent away. Now there are two more 2 members of the team are willing to join the Gospel Team as a sub-team.

Not to mention these, now there are 89 people who want to directly join the gospel team, and Jixi Town can't absorb so many people. "

When Andy said this, Iger and Maria also knew the current predicament.

The growth of a team requires constant addition of new members, but if there are too many newcomers, it will be exhausted.

Andy called Iger and Maria over this time. In addition to trying to distribute these unbearable people to the two sub-teams for digestion, the natural delivery solved the unfinished business last time.

This time, Andy finally stopped pretending to hold a full board of directors, and decided to use the chairman's order to implement a new director expansion plan.Vance has already nodded, and now he only needs Iger and Maria to nod, and he dares to do it.

This is what is often said, the big meeting solves the small things, and the small meeting solves the big things.

Regarding the fate of more than 100 new members, three people locked themselves in the office and discussed in less than half an hour.

The first is the expansion of the board.

After Iger thought about it, he suggested to Andy: "The directors should not expand directly, and give everyone a buffer time.

You can first appoint the senior consultants to the sub-team as backup directors, and after they have worked for a period of time and the assessment is not bad, they can be promoted to directors.

In this way, there is an additional incentive for the new directors, and there is also an explanation for the old directors. "

Maria didn't comment on Iger and Andy's proposal, and Andy took it as her acquiescence.

As for other directors, Andy can listen to his opinions, but he may not necessarily listen to them.

Then there are 89 newcomers.

This problem is not something that can be easily overcome.If one is not handled well, the disintegration and defection of the gospel team will repeat itself.

Finally, through discussion, everyone decided to allocate newcomers according to the proportion of existing team members.

All the original teams were broken up, and the nearly ten teams were first mixed into a lump of mud, and then according to the division method of one for you and one for me, the personnel were divided into heads.

As a result, Iger was divided into 55 people, Maria was divided into 7 people, and the remaining 27 people were left to Andy.

It's really not what it used to be. In the past, I kept thinking that there were too few team members, and there were not enough people to do everything.Now there are too many people coming, and I can't digest it.

Iger looked at his watch, it was still early, so he told Andy that he was going to take his people away today, so as not to have long nights and dreams.

It is conceivable that forcibly splitting the team will inevitably suffer great dissatisfaction and resistance, such as forcibly breaking up brothers, couples, father and son and so on.But the more this is the case, the more it is necessary to split it. This is a lesson learned in blood.

Iger first found Lily and asked her to send an emergency message to the reclamation team later, and then Iger found Andy and Maria at the door of the Morgan Building, looking at the heavy rain outside.

When things are arranged, they must be done as soon as possible. Iger knows that when the weather is bad, people's mood will be even more depressed.If it is necessary to wait until the heavy rain stops, such a large group of people gather together, it is not clear what will happen.

Not to mention the rain, even if there is a knife in the sky, you have to do it.

Iger plunged into the torrential rain, which seemed to be heavier than when it came just now. When he got into the pickup truck, his body was covered with water.

Then Andy and Maria squeezed into the back of the pickup truck.After Iger turned his head and said a few words to Andy, he immediately sat upright without looking sideways.

Andy didn't know what happened. He leaned his head over and said a few more words to Iger, and suddenly found that Maria's clothes were all wet.

Maria doesn't know how to wear everyday clothes yet, that's all she has.

As a result, Andy immediately sat upright, without squinting.

So, rainy days are the most annoying thing, so Joanna chose not to get out of the car.

The pickup truck honked its horn a few times and flashed its lights, followed by two vehicles.

These are the two teams of Unde sent by Iger. Although all the weapons of the newcomers have been handed in when they registered, no one can say whether anyone has hidden them privately.Just the three of Iger, Iger didn't have the guts to enter this kind of dragon's pool and tiger's den.

Following Andy's guidance, the pickup truck came to the edge of the residential area of ​​Rapid Creek Town, which seemed to be heavily guarded, with ditches and barbed wire fences separating several houses from the entire residential area.

Iger is very familiar with this place.He brought dozens of people to station here, and it took a week of random tossing around to transform into this bird-like appearance.

This is the transitional resettlement area that Andy just drew out.

The pickup truck drove directly to the lawn in the center of the resettlement area. After a sound of the horn, the windows and doors of the house were opened, and everyone looked at the strange convoy in the heavy rain with curious and anxious expressions.

Iger took off the megaphone and started yelling, "Attention all members, attention all members, everyone gather here in the car."

After Iger yelled again, I saw that everyone was crowded at the door and window. They looked at the torrential rain outside and did not move.

I don't know why, Iger's anger suddenly came up, he picked up the megaphone and shouted for the second time: "Attention all members, attention all members, everyone come to the car to gather. Those who shouted three times and did not come to gather will be regarded as automatic waiver of eligibility."

As soon as he finished shouting, Iger handed the megaphone to Joanna and said, "Wait a few minutes, and you shout for me for the last time." After speaking, Iger opened the car door and plunged into the rainstorm.

The rain was heavy and cold, but after a while, the body got used to the temperature of the rain and got used to it.

Iger stood silently in the rainstorm, and then Andy stood beside him.

After a while, eight armed guards lined up behind them.

The current scene made people feel a little suffocated. Many people were frightened. They didn't know whether it was the actions of these people or the weapons in their hands.

A few timid people walked into the rain timidly and stood at the designated position.

With them taking the lead, some of the newcomers on the sidelines also walked into the rainstorm one after another.

At this time, Sister Maria also came into the rainstorm. She was wearing a crimson dress that didn't fit well.

This is the coat that Joanna lent her.

Just now Maria finally found out why the two men in the car suddenly stopped talking, and she flushed with shame when she found out the truth.

When she saw Iger and Andy standing in the rain, Maria wanted to follow, but she didn't dare to leave the car looking at the heavy rain.

At this time, Joanna took off her red coat and handed it over.

"It's dark in color, and it won't see through when it gets wet." Joanna said to Maria.

Maria took Joanna's clothes in gratitude and put them on.When pulling the zipper, Maria found that the zipper was pulled halfway and couldn't be pulled up no matter what.

Too tight.

Maria grabbed both sides of the clothes with one hand, and pulled the zipper button with the other hand. Finally, the zipper was closed by 2/3, and it couldn't be closed anymore.

Maria looked down, that's all, then she also opened the car door and rushed into the heavy rain.

"Listen, everyone, shout out for the last time. Those who don't go out to gather will be deemed to have given up automatically." A female voice rang out through the loudspeaker, and the voice was simply sharp, and the last watching people finally greeted Bite the bullet and stand on the grass in the heavy rain.

now it's right.

The weather is not good today. In fact, it is possible to enter the house to count the people, but Iger just wants to roll the roll in the heavy rain.

That's right, Iger is a newcomer in PUA, he is engaging in taming, he is using his power for obedience training.

Bringing newcomers, Iger knows that there are two ways.

The gospel community uses one method, and the reclamation group uses the second method.

The first way is to exchange hearts for hearts, treat them with sincerity, slowly influence subordinates, and stimulate their sense of identity.

The second method is to directly kill Ma Wei, set up an extremely strict rule for everyone, break the bottom line of everyone's psychological expectations, and let everyone's endurance reach the limit.Then, slowly let go during the training, so that the subordinates have a feeling of being brought back to life.

Iger has always used the first method to treat his subordinates. He thinks that people should be able to understand each other. Even dogs and people can communicate, let alone people.

Some old brothers also told Iger that the vast majority of people in this world are sluts, the better you treat them, the more hypocritical they will be.Carrot + stick is a timeless method. The most effective way is to give the stick first and then the carrot.

Iger doesn't care about this theory, and he has also been criticized for "benevolence does not control soldiers."However, Iger's team can always produce convincing results, so Iger firmly believes that positive motivation is king.

As a result, in the Gospel team, Iger hit a snag.

Through constant reflection, Iger figured out what was going on.

In the past, he kept sending carrots to his subordinates. It was because he had a bigger stick on his head, and everyone could see the big stick without looking up. For those who went too far, someone beat Iger.

Iger used his past experience in the gospel team, trying to treat his own people with love and tolerance, but the result was all kinds of sadness.

When the reclamation group was established, because everyone had fought with swords and guns before, this group of people were all captured prisoners. From the point of view of pua, it was the end. As a result, the members of the reclamation group quickly developed cohesion and Identity.

Since it is easy to use, then come on.

Therefore, Iger continued to use the method of beating with a big stick first and then giving carrots to these new members.

Iger wants to squeeze this group of people into a group as quickly as possible. He predicts that there will be more and more migrants. Once this group of people is not digested well, it will bring about a chain reaction, the consequences will be unimaginable, and big things will happen.

When everyone was here, Iger turned back to the pickup truck. He opened the door, leaned his upper body into the car, and then shouted with a megaphone: "Then the roll call will begin. Those who are called will consciously go to the assigned team. , stay still, leave or enter the wrong team, it will be regarded as giving up automatically.”

After Iger finished yelling, he handed Joanna a notebook, which recorded the personnel assignment discussed with Andy and others just now.

After a while, a female voice called over the loudspeaker: "Ivy Jeffrey, Team 1."

Andy raised his hand, and a middle-aged man walked out from the crowd, and then walked behind Andy in silence.

"Byron Mond, Team 2."

Iger raised his right hand, and a darker-skinned woman stood behind him.

"Buck Walpole, Team 3."

"Agnes Grace, Team 2"

No one knew what the detachment meant, but many people saw the three leaders standing in the rainstorm, and they recognized the handsome middle-aged man from Team 1, who was the chairman of the Gospel Team.

Another young man with a bandaged arm looks a bit like Iger Lee, and another hot young beauty in tights is no one can guess who it is.

Everyone hopes to be assigned to Team 1. Team 1 is led by the chairman, so they should be able to stay in Jixi Town.There are armed guards, food, comfortable beds, electricity, and hot water here. It is no different from heaven.

As a result, most of the people were assigned behind Iger. Of course, they were not lost by those assigned to the third team.

After picking people, Iger walked back to the pickup truck, and he said to Joanna: "You lead the way, and we will walk back."

Joanna looked at Iger, who was covered in running water. With a trace of anger, she picked up the megaphone and shouted: "Everyone listen, follow my car and return to Rapid Creek Town."

On the road around the town outside Jixi Town, a pickup truck was slowly advancing with its double flashing lights. Behind it was a team advancing silently in the heavy rain. At the end were two pickup trucks with the same double flashing lights. Three armed guards stood in the compartment of the car.

This refreshing rainstorm has become a baptism for new members.
