Chapter 46 Expansion Plan
"Father, I suddenly have a new idea about tomorrow's work plan, and I want to talk to you." Iger said to Father Locke, who was chatting with Andy.

Afterwards, Iger nodded to Vance and said, "Uncle Vance, you will be the main force tomorrow, so come too."

When Vance and Father Locke followed Iger out of the chapel and sat comfortably in Vance's pickup truck, Iger turned around from the co-pilot, and said to the two in a serious tone as if changing his face: "We are about to face a crisis. A serious crisis. There is not much food left."

"How is it possible?" After hearing Iger's words, Vance was the first to express his disbelief. Isn't there a warehouse full of flour in the bakery?

"Uncle Vance." Iger said to Vance with a painful expression, "We didn't check carefully after we found the grain in the bakery that day. Only the outermost two floors of the warehouse were flour, and the piles inside were full of flour. It's debris."

When Vance heard this, he was anxious to open the door and go to the driver's seat. Iger stretched out his hand and grabbed him, shaking his head and said, "Joanna and I counted them one by one, and there are only 26 bags. We packed half of them and came back, in the warehouse. There are still 14 bags left for pulling next time.”

"Okay." Vance stopped after hearing Iger's words.

At this time, the three people in the car fell into silence.

What if there is no food in normal times?
Go buy it.

What should I do now that there is no food?
Difficult.

Vance said to Iger, "We rummaged through the fast food restaurant last time. Do you remember what's in stock?"

Iger nodded and said: "I remember. The fast food restaurants don't store much food. The meat they mainly deal in is all rotten. There are only a few barrels of cooking oil and flour for frying chicken wings and drumsticks."

Vance nodded. In his impression, there was only so much food in the fast food restaurant.

After all, this chain of fast food restaurants is very particular about ingredients, especially meat, which has zero inventory.They basically don't have more than one day's production in stock.

"Starting tomorrow, we will clean all the houses in the community. There may still be a lot of snacks in the supermarket at the gas station. Collect all the edible food and calculate how much is left." Vance said decisively There is a search plan, but this is not enough.

"Are there any farms near our community?" Iger asked while thinking.

Now it's autumn, if there is a farm, you can forcefully grab a wave.

"No." Father Locke shook his head and said, "We are in a mountainous area, so we don't have any farms."

Damn farm capitalism!
Iger cursed secretly.If it was in the Celestial Dynasty, as long as you leave the city, there are fields everywhere, and you can more or less find something to harvest.

But in America, their land cultivation is highly concentrated, and except for those few areas, no food is produced in other places.

After thinking about it for a while, Iger suggested: "Although it's already autumn. Can we plant some plants that can grow in winter, such as winter wheat, radishes and so on."

Vance interrupted Iger's imagination unceremoniously, and he said, "We have no seeds."

By the way, seeds are needed for planting.

The seeds of modern agriculture are not enough to be kept at home, but seeds produced by seed companies must be used.If someone tries to save their own seeds, what grows in the field the next year will be absolutely messy.

In other words, not only are there no seeds now, but even if the seeds are found, the seeds will be exhausted as consumables.

The reason for the unsustainability of human agricultural production is that in order to increase production and keep commercial secrets, human beings have eliminated the ability of plants to reproduce themselves.

"Damn plantation capitalism!"

This time Iger couldn't help but curse out loud.

"Fucking capitalists. FU*K!" Vance also cursed along with Iger.As a redneck at the bottom, Vance naturally doesn't have a good impression of those who control the lifeline of the country.

"Then there is only one way left now." Iger said to Father Locke and Vance: "We have to find a way to expand our search area."

The Gospel Community is a relatively isolated town, and the number of households living in it is not large, not as good as a small group in the rural areas of the Central Plains.

There are also some houses built on the hills scattered around the Gospel community, so there are gas stations, police stations and various shops in the community.

The Gospel Community’s external traffic is a road. After walking ten kilometers away from the road, there is a three-way road. On one side is Jixi Town, and on the other side is the local tourist scenic spot.

Andy and others who just arrived at the Gospel Church today escaped from Rapid Creek Town. According to them, the place has been overwhelmed by infected people.

I mentioned a calculation problem last time. When the population of the blood epidemic outbreak area continues to increase, the hope of survivors escaping will become increasingly slim.

Autumn is a good season for tourism. As the last town before arriving at the scenic spot, Jixi Town must be overcrowded.

Fortunately, the Gospel community is more than ten kilometers away from the main road of the scenic spot. This remote location saved the Gospel community, but it also trapped the Gospel community in the mountains.

Now everyone is thinking about how to get through to Jixi Town. As for the scenic spot in the other direction, who cares.

In that ghostly place, if there are supplies or no supplies, and there are no people there, maybe there are infected people all over the mountains and plains now, so why not play wilderness battle royale?
"The simplest and most practical way." Iger said after thinking for a while: "After Fran comes back, I will change to the AR-7, prepare enough ammunition, and then drive the car to clean it all the way slowly.

There is still more time, we don't have to mess around. "

When cleaning the police station this time, in the open ammunition depot of the police station, everyone found a box of unopened .22 bullets, with a total of 1400 rounds.

Unfortunately, there is only one gun that can use .22 bullets.

After firing a few rounds of AR-15, even Iger was a bit disgusted with AR-7.

After all, the power of .22 bullets is indeed too small. Hunting and killing animals of the size of humans is really a test of the skills of the gunman.

After discussing the general direction of the future plan, it was getting late. Iger saw that the time was almost up. After greeting Father Locke and Vance, he replaced Sister Maria.

The watchtower duty system last time was revised after a few days of implementation. During the day, there are two groups of 6 hours each; at night, three groups are divided into 4 hours each.In this way, the number of people on duty every day will be reduced, which is conducive to everyone's work.

After Iger climbed up the bell tower, night had fallen, he rubbed his cold cheeks with his hands, and exhaled a breath of white air.

Afterwards, Iger picked up the M70 dedicated to the sentry, and when he aimed the black crosshair at the rising moon through the scope, he discovered a strange thing.

The two crosshairs in his field of vision did not overlap, showing a clear up and down.

"What fu*ker? It can't be that I got presbyopia early."
