blood plague

After a good night's sleep, when I woke up the next morning, Iger found that the sound of snowflakes in his head was much less.

Iger walked to the window and stretched out his hand to open the curtains. There was still green smoke all over the mountains and plains.

The fire is just right.

After breakfast, out of a cautious attitude, Iger led the reconnaissance team to conduct another close-range reconnaissance.

It was the first time that Iger really saw the horror of the power of nature.

There is still hundreds of meters away from the fire belt, and people can't get close. There are gusts of scorching wind blowing in your face, and even the sweat on your forehead can dry you.

The huge hot air flow rose, forming a strong local low pressure, and the wind roared up from the bottom of the mountain, adding another three points to the fire.

Due to the blocking of the trees, the hot wind did not form a terrifying fire tornado, but the wind and the fire echoed each other, and the flames rushed up to the height of dozens of floors.

Once the forest fire is formed, there is really nothing for human beings.

What is a natural disaster? It is an unstoppable and irresistible natural disaster.

Looking at the fire all over the mountain, Iger felt timid.

With such a big fire, there must be no need to worry about the tide of infected people crossing the border, but what to worry about is how the fire will end.

To put it simply, it depends on God's will whether it burns until the fuel is exhausted and extinguishes it naturally, or a rainstorm blows it out.

Iger heard from the team members that there was a super-large-scale fire in the Pars Mountains before. It burned for 3 months, and no one knew how it was extinguished in the end.

Except for that time, it basically burns every two or three years.

Every time a fire is lit, the government will issue an announcement to remind everyone to be careful, and then send people to squat next to it. If they see that the fire is burning towards the residential area, they will go to notify and evacuate people in advance. Everyone is used to it .

I heard from Grant that the owners of the villas built on the mountain know that they must prevent forest fires. Within a few hundred meters of their villas, the miscellaneous trees have long been cut down, leaving only a little bit of low grass. Even if the fire burns over, it cannot burn in.

Hearing this, Iger seemed to feel better.

Since wildfires often break out here, the local residents are no longer surprised, the wild animals are used to it, and the flowers and trees should also be used to it, right?

The only thing Iger is worried about now is the investigation team sent before, but their life and death are uncertain.Although Maria has already judged that all of them have been wiped out, she is still in an uncertain state of neither living nor dead.

But with such a big fire at the moment, if people are still alive, they should have escaped long ago.

Thinking of the other side of the fire, hundreds of thousands of infected people were lining up and walking towards the sea of ​​flames, thinking about it made Iger terrified.

Infected people are not animals after all, even if they are alive.

Infected people who have lost their sense of pain and fear are not as responsive to danger as insects, not even ants.

Of course, the infected will evolve. If after this battle, the brain of the blood plague evolves the fear of flames, it might not be a bad thing.At that time, people can hold a torch and drive away the infected like a beast.

In short, everything has advantages and disadvantages, it depends on how you use and treat it.

After returning to Vaasa Town, Iger felt that there was no need to maintain such a large team. After eating in Vaasa Town for a few more days, the supplies in Vaasa Town must be exhausted.

Iger picked up the phone and contacted Maria to discuss with her about the team's future.

"Hey, Maria, I'm almost done with my work.

Ah, yes, the fire has already started, it is very big, oh, you can see it in Jixi Town, it looks really big.

I took a look, and there is no need to maintain a formation of so many people anymore. I want to withdraw the team to Jixi Town.

Well, it's up to you whether to disband or not.But I think I can wait a few more days, because I can't eat much rice anyway.

Oh, it's still quite edible.

It doesn't matter, I am very confident about the food issue.

If you think those people have nothing to do, you can ask Allen and Peter to discipline them.

Grind your guns before the battle, and you will be happy if you are unhappy.Three to five days of intensive training is still somewhat effective.

I won't go back, just stare here.

Don't worry, it's very safe here.

Lily wants to broadcast a battle report?

All right, leave this message to her.

What, she ran to Uncle Vance and cried...

You can persuade her, I'm really not targeting her, really.

No grudges, no grudges, really no grudges.

At that time, it was definitely impossible not to get angry, but we were all friends who came out of that small church, so there was still a little tolerance for this.

Okay, that's it, then I sent Allen back with the team.

goodbye. "

After the call, Iger asked Allen to gather the team. After he described the task and the current completion status, he announced that the first phase of the task had been successfully completed.

Those who originally joined this joint field mission with the awareness of wanting to fight hundreds of thousands of infected people to the end, when they heard that the operation had ended perfectly and that the wave of infected people who attempted to invade were perishing on their own, they all felt a sense of dismay. It feels too real.

But when you think about it again, it seems that this is the case.Now the entire mountain is full of fires. No matter how many infected people try to cross the fire, they will end up adding fuel to the fire.

It is rumored that Iger led the team to win every battle, but, but.

This is too easy.

Many people quickly figured out that there is no but, this is called divine blessing, and this is destiny.

This is the same as buying a lottery ticket. You don’t care how they bought it or how much they paid for it. They can win the lottery. It’s useless to explain it with any logic. The only thing that can be sure is their luck.

Fortunately, this is probably the most erratic thing in the world, and the most unpredictable thing about changing fate.

As Allen led the team back to Jixi Town, the joint field team successfully set fire to besieging hundreds of thousands of infected people in the mountains, and the news that the tide of infected people would be wiped out soon spread.

As if reassured, people in Puduo County suddenly became less anxious, and many street vendors immediately ended their big bargain activities, and the original prices went up.

In the evening, the Gospel was broadcast, and the two female anchors vividly told the story of the joint field team of the Gospel Defense Alliance, led by Father Iger, fighting against the tide of infected people in the Pars Mountains.

First, Sister Alison told everyone a story dictated by a team member who had personally experienced the encounter.

This was an incredible encounter: Father Iger used holy power to easily suppress the special infected, and the advance reconnaissance team wiped out the hunting group of special infected with fourteen hunters without any casualties.

Afterwards, Lily announced the results of the campaign, and successfully ignited a burning zone more than ten kilometers long in Pars Mountain.

These news were few words and had a lot of information, which confused many listeners.

Under what circumstances, it wouldn't be a lie about the results of the battle.

This is a super wave of infected people with hundreds of thousands of infected people. How could it be possible to return victoriously just after going out? Think this is a camping trip.

Unexpectedly, the next morning, more explosive news from the Gospel broadcast came out, and all the survivors were shocked by the news.

……

The news that comes out of the Gospel broadcast is good news for most people, but for some, it is a fiery thrill.

In the early morning, in the command room of the bunker.

The general sat in his seat and looked at the report in his hand, his expression became more and more ugly.

This is a review report on the battle plan written by Dina from noon to midnight after the meeting yesterday.Speaking of which, the writing in the report is ugly. It can be said that Dina's criticism of the attack plan is worthless.

Dina pointed out in the report that according to the current plan, the failure rate of the plan is as high as 70%.

Everyone said what about other people's children. The Gospel team, which the general has always looked down upon, was able to wipe out hundreds of thousands of infected people in such a short period of time, and then announced that they had killed the blood plague heart in Rama City.A blood plague heart that is currently the second largest killed by human survivors, second only to the one in the bank building.

No matter which action result it is, it will make the general look ugly.

Although the Gospel team has always been known for its efficient actions, it used to be because they were small in scale. To conquer a community or a small town with hundreds of people, in the eyes of the general, these were all drizzle-like actions.

In military operations, there are usually about a thousand people each time.

However, this time, with only a few hundred people, Iger took down a city of Rama with a population of 30. This is not a slap in the face of the military.

You know, right now, the military's action plan still doesn't make sense, and the question alone has been written for ten pages.

The general wanted to get angry, and his hand holding the report was shaking all the time.

The general didn't know how to slap the staff in the face with this report, and cursed loudly: "Look at the shit you did!".

It's better to slap the report on Dina's face and curse at her: "It's useless to talk so much, you can command!".

In the end, the general heaved a long sigh, and resisted the urge to get angry.

The general knew that Dina had tried her best, and the root cause was actually the problems of her subordinates.

The military-controlled area has not yet completed real integration, and the long-term state of war, extremely low living conditions, and various punishments brought about by strict military control have caused the morale of both the military and the civilians in the controlled area to be very low.

The general once came to the front line in person, and he happened to meet a soldier who had wandered back after being arrested.

This was the first time the general encountered this matter, so he personally interrogated the soldier.

After half an hour of interrogation, the general walked out of the barracks, and then he summoned the officers to punish the soldiers in accordance with military discipline.

A few minutes later, the officers pulled the soldiers aside and executed them in public.

Looking at the numb bystanders beside him, the general knew that after killing this one, there must be another one.

The fleeing soldier has a morale value of -27 and is in a "depressed" state.

In order to find out the morale of his subordinates, the general had private conversations with many soldiers in different positions.

Only then did the general realize that the morale of the army is generally in the range of 0 to -20, and it is almost difficult to find people with positive morale. The most basic "calm" is actually the peak of morale. "Panic" state.

After returning to the bunker, the general asked Selina to conduct a survey in the control area to investigate the morale of the civilians in the control area.

The survey results were not beyond the general's expectations. The morale of the civilians was between 0 and -50. Most of them were in a state of "depression", and a few even reached a state of "disheartened".

Low morale has a great negative impact on people. When a person's belief collapses, all his activities are just mechanical, like walking dead.

Dina once reported that the morale of the Gospel team was high, and their morale was generally maintained between 40 and 60. The whole camp was full of laughter and energy every day.

The combat effectiveness of a team is not only determined by the number of personnel, whether the weapons are excellent, the level of training, and morale are also extremely important factors.

The general had no choice, mainly because he didn't have the energy and time to improve morale. He could only try his best to keep morale from falling down too much.

Although there are many people in the military-controlled area, they cannot be reused.Both the general and Dina knew about this situation, but neither of them could do anything right now.

Yesterday afternoon, Dina, who was about to lose her hair due to the report, took the initiative to call Iger.

First of all, Dina is asking for advice on how to effectively and quickly increase the morale of soldiers.

That is to say, as long as the morale of soldiers can be increased by 10 points, the winning rate of combat can be increased by at least 5%.

However, everyone's morale is actually the spiritual power brought by spiritual beliefs. Iger really has no way to make people whose beliefs have collapsed suddenly become stronger.

Of course, there is an easy way to improve morale like a short-term bloodbath, that is, the general rushes to the first place with a gun to ensure that the soldiers under him are as powerful as a rainbow.

"Everyone go to me" can never beat "Everyone follow me".

But this idea can't be messed up. The Royal Conquest does have a morale bonus, but if it accidentally crashes, it will become a civil fortress.

The second method that Iger thought of was Andy's usual method to lure him.

Iger said to Dina: "One part of the military salary will be paid first, another part of the military salary will be paid before the war, and there will be double parts after the fight is over."

It is said that there must be a brave man under a heavy reward. Iger really doesn't believe that the military can't even get this little material.

If you really can't get it out, there is a way. After the battle, the last double share will be taken from the spoils of war.

Dina said with a bitter face: "It doesn't seem to be possible. The staff would rather not have supplies, as long as they don't let them rush to the first one."

This.

It is said that the world is bustling and bustling, and it is all for profit.

This people is not greedy for money, so why not.

It shows that this battle is all about taking money but not spending life. A normal person would not want to take this kind of dead money.

Then there is only the last trick left, heavy rewards and heavy punishments, and family members sitting together.

Soldiers are weak in combat, and their family members are conscripted into the army. It doesn’t matter whether it is up to 80 years old or down to 8 years old, regardless of whether it is male, female, old or young.

After hearing Iger's words, Dina was silent for a while and said that it had already been used.

Fuck, it's really good.

Iger has a deeper understanding of the general, this guy is a werewolf.

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work either. After holding back for a long time, Iger said to Dina, otherwise, you should stop fighting.

This suggestion is very good, but it is the least likely to be adopted.

Iger sighed in his heart, of course, it's not that there is no trick, there is another poisonous trick, which is to use poison.

Distribute combat potions to the soldiers before the battle. Once that thing is used, everyone will not scream.

Of course, the side effects of this poisonous plan are too strong. Once the mouth is opened, those soldiers will all become useless, and the probability of backlash is very high.

Isn't that how Blind John played himself to death.

In the end, Iger hung up the phone, and Dina had to continue to think hard by herself.

Finally, Dina, who had exhausted all means, submitted her first half-finished report to the general the next morning. The report contained only problems and no solutions.

If there is no way to solve the problem, don't solve it.

The general threw the report on the table, and he said to Selina, "Call the staff for a meeting in half an hour, and prepare to start implementing the combat plan."

After hearing the general's words, Dina felt a sense of powerlessness and exhaustion in her heart.

All the circumstances show that now is not the best time to launch a surprise attack, but why did the general insist on going his own way? Is he really trying to lead everyone to escape to that peninsula?

The general saw the tired look on Dina's face, and he said to Dina: "Dina, you go to rest first, after the battle starts, I need you to sit in the command room and conduct on-site command."

Dina nodded mechanically, she turned and walked out.

"Dina." The general called to Dina who was leaving, and he said to Dina, "Please trust my decision-making and help me fight this battle well."

"Yes, sir." Dina cheered up and saluted the general, then she walked out of the command room dumbly.
