blood plague

Chapter 287
One night plus one day, I didn't close my eyes for 40 hours.

Andy felt that his headache was so bad that he took a painkiller with the remaining half cup of cold coffee.

This was a marathon difficult three-party negotiation, and Andy finally successfully resolved the serial vendetta between the two teams by using superb communication skills.

It didn't matter who was right and who was wrong at first, what was important was to stop this bloody vendetta.

Human hatred is difficult to influence with love.

Andy naturally didn't think of using love. He only had two things in his hand, a carrot and a stick.

Under the coercion and temptation and the prisoner game, Andy perfectly met his expectations, because the two teams were afraid that if they did not compromise, they would be jointly suppressed by the hostile team and the gospel team.

To fight against the suppression of the Gospel team, unless the two teams join forces, but what the Gospel team requires of them is that they join forces.

The words are very convoluted, but the conclusion is very simple, at this moment, whoever says no will die.

After everyone agreed to let go of the blood feud, the next step was to deal with the explosion incident in the parking lot of Rapid Creek Town.

Andy has always believed that there is nothing that cannot be quantified by money. If it cannot be quantified, it can only mean that the price is too low.

Finally, under Andy's mediation, everything was settled. The victim team got a large amount of compensation, and the gospel team made a large loan with payment, and also gained an ally and a creditor's right.

It was time for dinner, and Andy had no appetite, so he went back to his room to sleep after telling Elvira a few words.

Lying on the bed, Andy tossed and couldn't fall asleep. There were more and more things in the gospel group, and the things that needed to be dealt with and balanced every day became more and more troublesome.

But then again, while Andy was tired of this situation, he also enjoyed the feeling of being in power.

In the past, Andy was the only one who flattered others, but now he has become the most powerful person.

If you want to wear its crown, you must bear its weight.

Andy thought everything was fine.

……

Chris Town.

The infected people entrenched here were emptied, and the whole town was like a ghost town, except for the strange howling of the wind, there was no sound.

Iger and Joanna parked the car on the street, and then they were shopping along the street with weapons.

Through a simple inspection, Iger found that Chris Town was very well preserved, and even the unfinished food and tableware on the table were still neatly placed. After the outbreak of the blood epidemic, no survivors swept here.

Of course, there are no survivors here who can escape.

Iger guessed that there were probably two reasons why there were no survivors here.

Either the survivors fled to Krisburg trying to seek asylum after the outbreak of the blood plague, and then they were chug by the AI.

Or the survivors managed to escape from the town, and then died of thirst and starvation in the desert.

No matter what the cause of death is, it is not surprising that there is simply no room for detours in this place.

It's not that the population density is sparse, and the survivors can escape the first wave of disasters after the blood plague.

After the outbreak of the blood plague, the first wave of disasters should be counted from the day of the outbreak to a week.Because within a week, the food and water at home are basically exhausted. Survivors need to go out to find new survival materials. During this process, they will inevitably come into contact with infected people. At this time, a large number of survivors will be eliminated. .

The second wave is after winter.Simple and easy-to-obtain food has largely been eaten up, and survivors face a long-term food crisis.

The third wave is from the appearance of the blood plague heart to the present.

Those survivors who did not escape the Plagued Heart's controlled area are being mobbed by the infected.In the face of an extremely large wave of infected people, unless the survivors drive away by car, there is almost no possibility of surviving.

Now, Iger and Joanna are looking for the blood plague heart in Chris Town.

The reason why Iger thinks that the heart of the blood plague is in Chris Town is because there are hundreds of kilometers of desert around Chris Town, and it is impossible for the heart of the blood plague to be buried in the sand.

And Iger estimated that the heart of the blood plague should be in the building, and the power of the Great Basin Desert, even the infected people have to talk about science.

Sure enough, in a bar, Iger and Joanna found a huge meat-shaped giant tumor, but compared with the one that exploded in Pudu City, it was a quail egg next to a goose egg.

This is the same as Iger's conjecture. The blood plague heart is limited by the amount of materials, and there are differences in size.The number of infected people here can only be fused into this heart of blood plague, which is not as high as Aiger.

"That's the thing? It's disgusting, like the eggs of the Zerg in the movie." Joanna looked at the blood plague heart and said with disgust.

Iger stretched out his hand towards the heart of the blood plague, and Joanna watched from the side, feeling extremely shabby.

Finally, Iger's outstretched palm touched the heart of the blood plague. It had a thick layer of skin on its surface, like a leather bag. It was not warm, but it was not cold either.

Iger touched the heart of the blood plague, and he tried to convey all the most vicious and sharp emotions in his heart. He worked on the heart of the blood plague for a long time. Joanna saw that Iger's face was turning black, and she asked worriedly beside him. He said, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Iger took a breath.

It turns out that mobilizing negative emotions is so exhausting.

After Iger spent a lot of thought in vain, the heart of the blood plague did not respond at all. If it weren't for the heavy sense of oppression, Iger might think that he had made a mistake.

To deal with the blood plague heart, physical means are still easy to use.

For such a small target, there is no need to go back to the pickup truck to get a 7.62 shotgun. The shotgun in Joanna's hand is enough.

Against such large, immobile creatures, especially at such close quarters, a shotgun is much more lethal than a shotgun.

It's a pity that single-headed ammunition is very rare, and its recoil is too great, otherwise this blood plague heart might not be able to eat two single-headed ammunition.

The 12th is the 12th, at best, I will shoot a few more shots, anyway, Joanna has plenty of bullets.

Just when the two of them stepped back for a distance and Joanna raised the shotgun to aim, Iger suddenly called a stop.

"Wait a minute." Iger said to Joanna: "I suddenly feel that it's not bad to keep this thing."

Ok?
Iger said to Joanna: "This is the first benefit. If infected people enter Chris Town, this Blood Plague Heart can direct them to die, saving us from killing them one by one. The second benefit is that Di Isn't Na going to study the serum for treating blood plague? This is the best experimental subject."

When Iger said this, Joanna also thought it was a good idea, and the two of them put away their weapons and returned to the huge bonfire in the afterglow of the setting sun.

With the heart of blood plague, Iger would not dare to stay in Chris Town no matter how big his heart is, so he should rely on this bunker for peace of mind.

After a while, Dina also came up, her clothes were covered with blood.

Just now Dina unlocked the door leading to the equipment control center. Although she was mentally prepared, the number of infected people who jumped out from the opened security door was still a bit high.

Dina responded calmly and calmly with a steel knife in hand, and staged an unapplauded assassin Wushuang.

After fighting all the way to the equipment control center, Dina was exhausted and out of breath.

After a series of inspections on the equipment, Dina found that, as she expected, the No. 10 oil depot was only about [-]% fuel, and the warning light was already on so much that it almost blinded people's eyes.

Dina manually opened the valve of the No. [-] fuel depot, and as the No. [-] fuel depot was supplied with fuel, the fuel warning light finally went out.

Then Dina didn't dare to go deep alone anymore, she felt that she could wait for Iger and Joanna to come together before exploring other areas.Unknowingly, Dina recognized the abilities of Iger and Joanna. In her eyes, these two people are no longer experimental consumables and annoying women. They are two companions worthy of forming a team with them.

The desert in Nevada is not the kind of endless yellow sand. It is a desert with more gravel than sand, but the temperature still drops rapidly at night.The three chatting through the net fence had to get closer to the fire. Although the burning human body smelled very bad at first, they got used to it after smelling it.

In fact, there are still many topics for the three of them to talk about together.

Iger can chat with Dina about some deep knowledge.

Dina can chat with Joanna about things girls like.

Iger can talk to Joanna about things that are boring and helpless in life but interesting to others.

When two people chat happily, the other sits aside and listens quietly.

I didn't expect to sit like this for a whole night. It wasn't until the next day when the sky turned pale that the flames in the fire gradually became smaller.

Iger picked up the red and white crossbar that was broken by Dina's driving. Joanna held the crossbar and poked it in the fire first, and then added some fuel to the fire.

If you want to burn it, you have to burn it thoroughly.

When the sun climbed high and the temperature rose again, the fire was finally extinguished.

Joanna used the crossbar as a poker to push away the bones and other debris left on the ground, and then the pickup truck drove into the inner courtyard.

Iger yawned deeply, his stamina was only in single digits, and he was about to force a shutdown.

"I want to have a bed right now, or a sofa, but I don't have the conditions. I can sleep in the car. I'm almost sleepy."

Iger said wearily to the two girls.

"Same feeling."

"Me too."

While talking, the three of them followed the open metal safety door and walked into the underground passage.
