blood plague

Chapter 39 Big Boom
On the second and third days after Iger broke his leg, due to the bad weather, everyone huddled up in the church and rested for two days. If you can get less rain, you will get less rain. For health, less work is also very important.

Surprisingly, on the third day that Fran went out alone, he came back safely and brought back a deer weighing seven to eighty kilograms.

The deer had been bled and eviscerated in time.After the deer was carried to the kitchen, several men swarmed up with knives and quickly dismantled it into a pile of flesh and bones.

At dinner, everyone was given a small bowl of thick bone broth and a small but very tempting piece of roast venison.Rough cooking techniques and simple seasoning can't reduce its fragrance by half.

After dinner, morale is high, the men gather to pick their teeth in dramatic motions and brag loudly, and the women hide in the room to use up the last bit of foundation.

Fran was alone in thick clothes against the cold wind and rain, and was contented to watch on the clock tower—relatively noisy below, this was his paradise.

On the third day, it was sunny.The Wilderness Action Team and the Community Search and Rescue Team of the Gospel Team were all dispatched to do their own things.

There is an episode.

Iger's beloved AR-7 was about to run out of bullets. After everyone discussed together, the AR-7 was disassembled into parts and put into the stock, and then handed over to Fran along with the remaining bullets.

This "survival rifle" finally came to the "survival master".

In this way, Fran has two choices of crossbow and firearm for hunting and self-defense. Although the movement of the gun is definitely greater than that of the crossbow, the efficiency is not comparable to that of the crossbow.

As an important sharpshooter of the team, Iger cannot be empty-handed.Vance's AR-15 was temporarily assigned to his use.

Everyone is very confident in weapons. Although the team is short of guns and ammunition, as long as the infected can be successfully eliminated, among other things, bullets are definitely indispensable.

In this clearing operation, four members of the community search and rescue team were dispatched together.Although Iger's foot injury does not require crutches anymore, he still can't lift heavy objects. Some physical tasks require at least two men to do, so Father Locke, who has not been out for a long time, partnered with Vance again.

This time, the place where the explosive trap was going to be installed was selected in the street below the T-junction after a group discussion.

The street was divided into two ends by a sideways truck in the middle. Because the truck blocked the outer section, everyone felt that it was safer to work secretly. Taking a step back, even if an infected person was accidentally attracted during the work, there was a truck blocking it. Everyone has a greater chance of escaping.

In order not to disturb the infected people by the sound of the vehicle engine, the pickup truck was parked a little far away. After parking, Iger sat in the cargo box of the pickup truck with the AR-15 on guard, while the other three moved things back and forth. Finish moving things.

Because they were worried that the preparation of explosives in advance would change the chemical properties or cause danger, everyone piled up the materials and put them in the center of the street before starting the on-site preparation.

Father Locke and Vance were opening bags of chemical fertilizers and carefully pouring them in from the mouth of the oil barrel. Joanna picked up a thick and long rope and threw it up several times before finally successfully bypassing the street lamp. The pole hung down, and she fastened the hanging end to the tape recorder, and she needed to hoist it up later.

Not long after, all 17 bags of fertilizer I found at the home and yard store were poured into the oil drum, and after a few shakes, there was obviously some space left in the oil drum, but this did not affect the earthen explosion explosion of things.

Next, Vance stuffed the cloth strips torn from old cotton clothes that he had prepared earlier through the hole of the oil drum, and didn't stop until it was a little tight.

Afterwards, Father Locke and Vance carefully poured the fuel drawn from the oil drum slowly onto the cloth strips, allowing the fuel to soak through the cloth strips and soak into the manure.

Finally, Vance placed a short piece of candle with a precisely calculated burning time on a strip of cloth soaked in fuel, lit it, and put a glass lampshade on it.Father Locke placed a metal shield around the candle to prevent the infected person from knocking over the candle with an elbow and detonating the oil barrel in advance.

After finishing the work here, Vance gave a thumbs up to Joanna who had been waiting for a long time.

Joanna, who had practiced repeatedly while waiting, pressed the play button of the tape recorder, then grabbed the rope and raised it high.After the tape recorder rose to the top, Joanna quickly tied the rope to death.

"Get out!" Father Locke ordered, and the three of them ran towards the pickup truck quickly.

There was more than ten seconds of blank space before the tape in the tape recorder. When the three quickly got into the car with the door open, a song with a strong rhythm sounded.

The operation was successfully concluded without alarming the infected, and Iger's spirit relaxed. As soon as the magic sound entered his ears, he unconsciously hummed along with the tune: "

She Was More Like A Beauty Queen,

From A Movie Scene..."

What Iger didn't hear was that Father Locke, who was in the co-pilot of the car, couldn't help but shook his head and hummed: "

People Always Told Me,

Be Careful Of What You Do,

And Don't Go Around Breaking Young Girls' Hearts..."

After the pickup truck drove out of the community, it stopped far away, and the music played from the tape recorder on the electric pole in the distance was still very clear. The song had reached its climax, and MJ was repeating:
"She Says I Am The One,

But The Kid Is Not My Son…”

Joanna didn't like this song very much, it should be said that she was a little disgusted.

Its lyrics look like a poor big boy is telling everyone that he has been wronged for no reason, but Joanna thinks this song is more like the confession of those scumbags.

Therefore, when she heard the mature and steady Father Locke humming along with the rhythm, Joanna felt that the world might not be what she thought it was.

After playing a song, a few infected people gathered under the streetlights. Iger looked at the distance with some worry, and then cheered himself up: "It's okay, maybe a large wave of infected people is on the way."

As soon as these words passed through his mind, he saw a large strip of infected people being "squeezed" out of the not-so-wide gap between the overturned truck and the street wall.

A steady stream of infected people poured out from that gap, and several infected people overturned the front of the car, fell to the ground after a somersault, got up and ran forward again.

It didn't take long before a dark wave of infected people filled the streets. They surrounded the gasoline drums with candles, huddled under the street lamps, and waved their hands wildly towards the sky. Under the rhythm of MJ's songs, they seemed to be gathering Dancing like crazy together.

Seeing this scene, everyone understands what happened to those people in the police station that day.It can be said that with such a large group of infected people, the survivors can only flee when they encounter it.

It can also be seen that the first two plans proposed by Iger seem to be feasible, but when such a large and dense infection group appears, it is very difficult to implement piecemeal tactics.

Everyone watched the magical and crazy scene from a distance with complicated moods, and prayed that the candles would light the oil barrel smoothly.

A few minutes later, with the strong rhythm of the mechanical dance, "Smooth Criminal" sounded, and the backup dancers of the infected became more energetic.

Just hearing MJ's scream, sparks rose off the stage.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, the candle finally successfully ignited the clothes stuffed in the mouth of the oil barrel.

After the flame burned for more than ten seconds, it suddenly became larger, like fireworks set off during a festival, and a slender flame rushed out.

Everyone held their breath, knowing that the critical moment was coming.

Suddenly there was a flash of light, and in an instant, the infected who had been dancing wildly around the oil barrel turned into debris flying all over the sky.
After several seconds, the huge "bang" sound reached everyone's ears.

The infected who once entrenched the community were emptied by a huge explosion.
