blood plague

Chapter 40
"Go, get in the car." Vance said to everyone, and within a few minutes, everyone returned to the explosion zone.

"What the hell!!!"

As soon as they got out of the car, everyone was stunned by the sight in front of them.

All over the streets, human fragments are everywhere, and the sticky stuff has covered everything;
The hard broken bones are like nails inserted into the walls of the buildings on both sides of the street, densely packed, as if these walls have a layer of spikes;
Although some of the infected people on the periphery of the explosion lost part of their bodies, they did not die immediately. They were dragging their remnants struggling and roaring in the bloody mud.

The joyful mood in everyone's hearts immediately dissipated. With the breeze, the mixed smell of human internal organs and excrement that had been fermented for a long time rushed to everyone. As soon as the smell entered the nasal cavity, Joanna bent over and vomited.

After persisting for more than ten seconds, Iger couldn't help throwing up. Only Father Locke and Vance are still standing.

"If there is hell, it must be where I will go." Father Locke took off the cross from his neck, held it and prayed.

"If there is hell, it won't be worse than it is now." Vance was thankful that he had a thick beard, which could at least filter out a little smell.

An infected person who lost his lower body dragged his organs stretched into lines behind him, screaming, and trying to crawl towards the crowd.

"Go. It doesn't matter whether you go to heaven or hell, the world is not worth your nostalgia." Iger felt better after vomiting for a while. He raised the AR-15 in his hand and pointed it at the head of the crawling infected person. Just one shot.

"boom."

Gunshots rang out, and the infected person finally lay on the ground peacefully.

Iger took a few steps forward, and walked towards the explosion point while trying not to step on the dark red paste. While walking, he raised his gun to aim, and killed the struggling infected one by one.

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

……

The sound of gunfire was like a death knell, mourning for those suffering who were relieved by death.

……

……

"Here's the Gospel Team Radio, and Lily is here for you. Here's the latest big news:

The Gospel team has successfully cleaned up the Gospel community, and all infected people in the Gospel community have been cleared.

We are establishing a permanent safe zone and working hard to restore normal life and order.

The following is a repeat broadcast.

……

……

The Gospel team once again held a general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, Iger first announced the results of the settlement of the Gospel community, including the cleanup of the infected and various important materials collected.

When it comes to cleaning up the infected, the last piece of hard work is to collect the corpses of the infected.

On the one hand, it is in the spirit of humanitarianism, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the plague that may arise if so many corpses are left to rot.

In two full days, the gospel search and rescue team cleaned up a total of 117 corpses of infected people, 8 corpses of survivors, and countless body fragments.

These corpses and fragments were gathered in Tingzixia Street, which is the center of the explosion, and then they were all neatly stacked on a pyre made of various wooden furniture. After being poured with fuel, they were set on fire.

"This street is pretty useless," sighed Vance, looking at the smoky fire.

Joanna shook off a strand of wet hair sticking to her forehead. She was glad that her home was still some distance away. affected.

Otherwise, there is no way to go home.

When collecting the corpse, looking at the body fragments that were densely inserted into the wall, Joanna felt that if her home became like this, it would be better to set it on fire.

In terms of "trophies", it mainly refers to weapons, that is, firearms, which can be said to be quite rewarding.

During the cleaning of the police station, a total of 7 pistols, 3 pump-action shotguns, and 2 rifles were recovered.

Of these two rifles, one is a Winchester M70 bolt-action rifle with a sight that looks a little old, but its performance is very reliable; the other is a damaged sight, with a front grip, and the gun body is Transformation, AR-15 with cool white patterns on the black gun body.

Vance recognized this highly recognizable AR-15 at a glance. It was the favorite gun of Allen, the best marksman in their militia organization.

Allen's body was not found at the police station, so Allen did not escape the blood plague infection, and perhaps his body became part of the fragments that could not be pieced together.

After obtaining a large number of weapons, the natural first thing is to distribute weapons.

Iger likes the M70 very much.

The Winchester M70 was first produced in 1936. It has experienced many wars in decades and has millions of stocks in the United States. It is known as the "rifle of rifles" that can be reproduced for 100 years.

But Vance directly rejected Iger's proposal.

"Why?" Iger couldn't understand. This kind of bolt-action rifle that can be used as a sniper rifle is obviously only me that can play its fullest role.

Seeing that Iger didn't understand, Vance patiently explained to him the difference between a sniper and a sharpshooter.

The role of a sniper is mainly to hunt high-value targets, so what a sniper requires is high precision, emphasizing that the first shot is fatal.

Sharpshooters use precise firepower to provide cover for teammates, so fire rate and accuracy are equally important.

Sharpshooters are generally equipped with semi-automatic rifles. The shooting speed of bolt-action rifles is too slow, and this M70 is an old model that has not been modified. It can only be manually ejected with a single shot, and it can only be loaded with a maximum of 5 rounds at a time.

Vance stared at Iger and asked, "Can you handle the situation with the M70 when we came back the first day?"

Uh... really can't.

In such a short period of time, Iger can only shoot three shots at most. If factors such as panic are added, it may not be possible to kill two infected people.Then, the result is that the three of them GG together.

Iger, who accepted the criticism humbly, got the AR-15 after re-understanding his own position.

The AR-15 with the damaged scope removed is exactly the same as Vance's except for the color, which shows that this modification is very cost-effective and has been well received by the majority of gun lovers.

The final distribution of firearms, the M70 was used as a fixed gun for the clock tower sentinel; Father Locke felt that the double-barreled shotgun was enough for him, and everyone did not force it.

Among the remaining girls, Joanna and Sister Maria, who were willing to be equipped with guns, both got a Glock. The remaining unallocated firearms were kept in a centralized place and used and distributed when necessary.

Next, Iger read out the second agenda item of the shareholders meeting. As a recommender, he proposed to include Fran and Joanna in the board of directors.

Iger then read out Fran and Joanna's contributions to the team to all board members.

Fran went out to hunt twice and brought back a total of 200 pounds of prey.

After Joanna joined the Gospel Search and Rescue Team, in the spirit of not fearing death or suffering, she completed 5 waste-picking tasks, returned 300 pounds of important materials, and participated in the final battle of community clearance.

After the reading, Iger asked the board of directors to vote on the promotion of Fran and Joanna one by one. In a cheerful atmosphere, both Fran and Joanna were unanimously approved.

Subsequently, Iger announced another supplement to the director system. From today, all new entrants can only be ordinary members, and ordinary members can only be promoted to shareholders after they are recognized.

At present, the board of directors has 1 chairman and 7 directors. If the chairman cannot make a decision on a proposal, the board of directors will vote to decide. In order to prevent deadlock, the number of directors will remain odd and will not be expanded for the time being.

Iger's proposal was very correct. It ensured that the results of the Gospel team's current efforts would not be easily taken by outsiders, so it was unanimously approved by all directors.
