blood plague

Chapter 51 Action Again
"We're running out of food."

Father Locke's words made the chapel suddenly silent.

Iger took Father Locke's words and said: "Before, when the streets were full of infected people, we only took the method of estimating the food storage.

It wasn't until yesterday afternoon when I went to check the stock that we grossly overestimated our flour stock.

Calculated according to the current daily consumption, we only have enough food for one month, not more than two months at most. "

"In order to solve the food problem, we formed a wilderness action team, but with so many people, hunting supplements are really limited." Iger said to everyone, "Agricultural planting is the ultimate solution, but before agricultural production can be self-sufficient, We have a big food gap. Big."

"I..." Vance didn't know what to say, after he said "I", the rest of the words stuck in his throat.

"I know." Iger said to the crowd, "We have worked so hard to clean up the infected people in the Gospel community and establish a safe zone that belongs to us.

If possible, I also hope that we only need to build a fortress on the only road leading to the outside world, so that everyone can live in peace and stability in the gospel community.

Today, there is no need to describe it too much. Everyone who has experienced the blood plague and survived after narrow escapes understands how precious security is, and it is enough to defend it with life. "

Vance let out a long sigh. This kid's speech skills are superb, and it's useless for him to say anything now.

Iger scanned the crowd once again, and after observing the expressions on everyone's faces, he said slowly: "We have many enemies, and the blood plague and the infected are just one of them. Now, there is another one that we cannot use. The enemy that guns and bullets knock down is famine.

However, before the famine comes, we can use guns and bullets to knock down the enemies that can be killed, and fight our way through the siege of the enemies. "

After Iger paused for a while, he said firmly to everyone: "We need to capture Jixi Town."

After hearing Iger's speech, everyone present nodded involuntarily.Compared with famine, a disaster that is irresistible to human beings, flesh and blood "monsters" like infected people are easier to deal with.

"But." Iger said loudly to everyone, drawing everyone's attention again, "We have too few people to deal with hundreds of infected people.

We have a lot of guns, but a shortage of gunners, we have so few people who can shoot, we need..."

At this time, there was a rapid and continuous sound of car horns outside the chapel. When everyone heard it, they didn't know what happened.

Iger lifted the AR-15 under his feet, he took off the M17 on his waist and slid it to Vance, and then the two quickly rushed out with their guns.

The other people quickly dispersed and took cover. Father Locke, Sister Maria and Joanna returned to the room and took out their own guns, and used the indoor bunker to defend on the spot.

After a while, Iger and Vance came in with a man covered in injuries. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Fran.

The clothes on Fran's body were scratched in many places, and there were obvious bloodstains in several places. He had three parallel wounds on his face, but the most serious injury was on his left hand.

After Fran sat down, Iger quickly unwrapped the bandage on his left hand, and Vance went to Locke's room to fetch the medical kit. Only then did everyone see that Fran's left hand lost its index and middle fingers.

Iger's previous judgment seemed to be correct again. Fran's wound showed no signs of bacterial infection.

"It's a bit unlucky this time." Grinning his teeth in pain, Fran explained to everyone: "That day I had killed a deer, a very fat one, but I encountered a pack of wolves. I'm not too bad, I killed them Three, lost two fingers, and gained one."

Guns like AR-7 have almost no self-defense ability when encountering wolves in groups and very sensitive creatures.

In desperation, Fran dived into the water to escape, and he was forced to give up his survival hunting knife, as well as his survival backpack.

In this hunting, Fran suffered heavy losses, but luckily survived.

"Thank you, friend." Iger patted Fran on the shoulder lightly and said, "You have made a huge and outstanding contribution to the team."

After re-bandaging Fran's body, Elvira helped Fran go to his exclusive isolation room to rest. I don't know if Fran has so many injuries, and Elvira will comfort him.

After watching Fran and Elvira leave the chapel, Iger turned around and said to everyone: "We need more people, we need more people to survive in this cruel world.

I propose to expand the second team of the Gospel Search and Rescue Team. I, Joanna, what's the name of the female security guard? "Speaking of which, Iger asked the three newcomers.

"Uh, Erica," Andy replied.

"Erica." Iger asked after finishing speaking, "Which of you would like to participate in the rescue operation?"

After the three of them glanced at each other, Andy said, "Count me in. To be honest, I'm really not good at carpentry. Maybe it's easier to go to the rescue."

"Okay. The members of the second team of the Gospel Search and Rescue Team are expanded to: Iger, Joanna, Erica, and Andy. The second team is equipped with a pickup truck. Erica and Andy went to Vance to apply for the distribution of guns. I and Joanna prepares other supplies." After Iger finished speaking, he looked at Father Locke, who nodded.

"The chairman agrees, the proposal is approved, and we will act immediately." Iger asked Vance to return the M17 after speaking.

After Iger played with this pistol for a while, I felt quite comfortable. Besides, having an extra gun gave me an extra life.

Iger told Joanna to go to the kitchen to pack more steamed buns, and then he came outside the isolation room by himself.

"Hmm." Iger faked a loud cough outside the door, and it took about ten seconds before he opened the door of the isolation room.

I saw Fran sitting on the floor and Elvira standing beside him. Both of them were neatly dressed, but Fran's face was flushed, as if his blood pressure was a little high.

"Fran." Iger said to Fran: "You should rest in the camp for a few days this time, and then go to the forest after your injury recovers. You hand over the AR-7 to me, and you still use crossbows for hunting, self-defense weapons you Get one from Vance before you leave."

Fran nodded, and he handed the AR-7 to Iger.This gun is indeed a bit of a trick, and it is really no better than a fire stick at critical times.

Since it is a weapon of choice, Fran, who suffers from a phobia of insufficient firepower, first thought of a .357 revolver with a quick loader. Even if he encounters a bear, the .357 Magnum bullet can easily bring it down.

Shotguns seem to be good too. For fast and flexible guys like wolves, shotguns are almost impossible to miss at close range, so make sure to shoot one at a time.

It's hard to choose, which one do you want?
After Iger left, Fran was still stuck in the difficulty of choosing, and didn't even notice that Avilla was angry.
