blood plague

Chapter 45 Food Crisis
Oh, there's no more flour.

Also.

The food stored in the church was brought back by Joanna and Iger with hard work. After cleaning up the infected people in the community, there are vehicles again, and the supply of supplies has become a matter of little effort, and the importance and priority have dropped. It is not Joe Anna reminded that Iger had forgotten about it.

Iger looked at the sky, and it was only five o'clock in the afternoon. Although the sky was not so bright because of the rain, with a car, it was enough for them to run back and forth before dark.

Iger took off the car keys hanging on the chapel wall, then he hung up the AR-15 and took Joanna out in a single-cab van.

By the way, this van was originally full of toilet paper, because it was too much, so everyone took the house next door to Vance as a warehouse, and put all the toilet paper into the house.

The biggest difference between this blood plague crisis and other crises in the past is that there is no need to hoard toilet paper crazily anymore.

Iger was in the co-pilot, and Joanna was driving.

I have to say that Joanna's driving skills are very good, starting quickly, shifting gears smoothly, driving steadily, parking accurately, and a set of movements are clean and smooth, which makes Iger feel ashamed.

Just mentioned the driving skill level in the previous chapter, but in fact, there is no driving skill in the character's skill column.

How should I put it, the level of driving skills of Americans is the same as that of cycling skills of Central Plains people, so there is no need to list them in particular.

Therefore, after arriving in the United States, many Central Plains people drive carefully, and then see a gray-haired old lady driving a car at least half her age in the driveway next door. The green light burns tires and starts. It pales in comparison and feels ashamed.

The van stopped in front of the bakery, and Joanna and Iger entered the shop one after the other.

Joanna went behind the counter of the store, skillfully took out two cans of sparkling water, and threw one can to Iger.

This is the secret little stronghold of the two of them, and they are not going to share it with others until the inventory is emptied.

Iger opened the sparkling water and took a sip, then put it on the cabinet.It is more exciting to drink this stuff when people are tired.

Compared with the previous few visits, Iger's physical condition has recovered a lot. His current basic attributes are:

Constitution: 3
I have to sigh, your body's genes are really strong, and it miraculously recovered.

Dexterity: 3
In fact, you are not clumsy, it was just because you were too lazy.

Mind: 4
Although the fear has not gone away, you seem to be getting used to it.

As Father Locke said, if there is any hope in this world, it must be in children.

The greatest hope a child inherits is growth.

……

Seeing that Iger started to carry it, Joanna also put down the bubble jar in her hand.The difference from the last few times this time is that there is no need to carry the flour back, just load them into the truck.

Iger and Joanna were transporting back and forth like this. When Iger put down the fourth bag of flour in his hand and returned to the warehouse, he saw Joanna removing all the neatly stacked flour and throwing it on the on the ground.

"What's wrong?" Iger asked Joanna.

"Come and see!" Joanna turned her head and said to Iger. Her face was very pale, which has nothing to do with the flour on her face. The last time Iger saw her with such an expression, an infected person reached out and caught her. when she feet.

Iger stepped over the several bags of flour thrown on the ground and hurried over. He lit up the flashlight in his hand and shone at the place Joanna was pointing at.

In an instant, Iger also fell into a dizziness.

God!

how so!
Iger and Joanna were sitting on the lovers' chairs in the bakery. They were listlessly drinking their own sparkling water. Their strength seemed to be exhausted, and now they only felt that their hands and feet were weak.

"What should I do? Do you want to tell Father Locke?" Joanna asked Iger.

Iger nodded, this matter must be reported to Father Locke, but for other people, Iger took a deep breath and said to Joanna: "I will report to Father Locke alone in private, before that, we must keep it a secret. "

Joanna nodded.

If this matter is revealed without preparation, it may cause great panic.

In the warehouse in the bakery, there is no flour.

Before, when Vance and Iger found the warehouse of the bakery, they saw flour neatly stacked, and there was a whole warehouse.They calculated that there was enough flour to last them for several years.

Afterwards, the team population increased from 5 people to the current 12 people, and the consumption also increased, but based on the current daily consumption, it is no problem to eat these flour until next year.

When Joanna was moving the goods just now, she found that the flour actually only had two layers, and the things behind it occupying 4/5 of the warehouse space were all old tables and chairs that had been replaced by the bakery.

In fact, Vance and Iger were completely dazzled by happiness at the time.

This is just a community bakery. His monthly bread sales are only so much. Does the boss have to stockpile several tons of flour in his own warehouse? This is not playing famine.

After drinking sparkling water for a while, the two seemed to calm down a little. Joanna asked Iger, "What should I do? Are you moving now?"

For some reason, Joanna felt that this little guy who was several years younger than herself was quite reliable in doing things, and subconsciously listened to Iger's opinions on many things.

Iger shook his head, and he said, "You can't move all at once, you have to keep half of it and come back next time."

The two ordered, and there were a total of 26 bags of flour left, each bag 10KG. Based on the consumption of 2 bags per person per month, they only had about one month's ration left.

In another month, it will be winter, how can I live this winter.

With a lot of concerns, Iger and Joanna returned to the church.As soon as he jumped out of the car, Iger yelled at the people standing in the yard chatting together with a big smile on his face: "Men and ladies, come over and distribute food."

After hearing Iger's yell, several people chatting nearby gathered around and unloaded the truck in a hurry.

Seeing Iger's unfaltering smiling face, Joanna was almost deceived.Everyone is a minor, why are you so thick-skinned?

Food is the morale of the army, and I deliberately showed it off in front of everyone, especially to let the four new recruits see sufficient food reserves, which is very important for stability and morale boosting.

Iger has discovered that morale is a substantial factor in this world.

When morale is high, people's physical function and recovery ability will be strengthened; inversely, it can be concluded that once the team's morale is low, it will inevitably lead to a decline in ability.

Declining team capabilities lead to a further drop in morale, and the team then spirals into a downward spiral.

After joking with everyone, Iger turned around and went to find Father Locke.
