blood plague

Chapter 7 The Conundrum of Survival

Just as Vance was immersed in the nostalgia for the old Pence, Iger suddenly thought of a wonderful point. He said excitedly to Vance: "By the way, we can go to the police station to find a gun."

"Oh." Hearing Iger's words, Vance sneered and said, "Good idea, but you have to clean up the corpses stuffed in the police station first."

On the first day of the blood plague disaster, a group of smart people rushed to the police station.The police station is the only four-story concrete building in the community, which has enough guns and ammunition and strong enough walls.

Subsequently, a large group of infected people flocked to the police station. A group of people took advantage of the terrain and sufficient firepower to shoot frantically with long guns and short cannons. However, more and more infected people formed a huge tide of infected people.

Although the group of survivors had good marksmanship and the police station had enough bullets to fight a small war, but after a pile of spare magazines were exhausted, the speed of manual reloading obviously couldn't keep up with the speed of the infected. In the end, the infected The attackers rushed into the police station.

This is not over yet, the infected people in the front just entered, and the infected people in the back rushed like crazy like squeezing the subway. Except for the first one who might have been bitten to death among the few survivors in the police station, all the others died. It was squeezed to death alive.

At that time, Vance stood on the hilltop of the Gospel Church and watched the infected people pour into the police station like a tide. Some infected people were squeezed out from the windows on the second floor, and flowed out of the windows like a waterfall and fell to the ground.

What's even more frightening is that those infected who fell on the ground got up and squeezed in through the main entrance. In the end, the survivors who were squeezed in the innermost layer could be said to be dead.

It's not that all the survivors died in the police station. There was a smart ghost who jumped from the third floor to the police car downstairs, and then ran away.

The guy was very defensive, and he was wearing a full blast suit, including a police helmet with a glass visor.This set of equipment severely restricted his running speed, and that guy was quickly overtaken by a large group of infected people, fell down, and pressed on him like an arhat, and finally piled up into a huge mountain of meat.

Seeing this scene, Vance swore that he would rather be bitten to death than be crushed to death like this.

After listening to Vance's narration, Iger was stunned.Originally, Iger wanted to complain about why people in the zombie world didn't wear protective clothing, but now he understood.

Originally, Iger's idea of ​​killing the infected was 1V1, and he could win every battle with high attack and high defense.

The actual hacking of infected people is 1VN, and there is no upper limit for this N.Therefore, survivors need to be flexible enough, not to be caught is the most important thing. Once caught, the infected will be like the kind of meat mountain that often appears in rugby games, and the worst thing is this human meat mountain There is no height limit.

After chatting with Vance for a while, Iger, who thought he could hold on for a while, suddenly felt sleepy, followed by the weakness of a drug addict.

Iger suppressed his drowsiness and opened the character bar. He was worried that the blood plague would flare up again after the incubation period, but he saw that his stamina, which was not much, had dropped again. Looking carefully, it turned out that there was an extra fatigue debuff.

Fatigue Max Stamina -15
Well, the world might actually die if it stays up late.

After Iger and Vance said goodbye, he climbed down the escalator. In the last few meters, he simply went down the escalator like in the movie, but his hands hurt.

Iger came to the chapel with grinning teeth, and Father Locke hadn't rested yet.

"Where do I sleep today?" Iger said to Father Locke, yawning.

Father Locke pointed to the temporary bed made up of several chairs in the chapel. Iger didn't say much. He came to the bed by the dim candlelight, took off his shoes and fell on the bed, lying on some harsh cushions. After rolling up and down a few times, he became dizzy and lost consciousness.

******
The morning sun shone on the eyelids, stinging brightly, waking Iger up.Iger lay on the bed and stretched comfortably, then wondered why the alarm clock didn't ring today.

After several breaths, Iger came back to his senses, and he was already in another world.

Iger sat up with difficulty, the life he used to complain about not being able to live, now seems to be in heaven and not blessed.

This is retribution.

Last night's mush wasn't enough at all. As soon as Iger woke up, he felt cramps from hunger. When he was looking forward to what to eat for breakfast, he suddenly remembered that the church had run out of food yesterday.

After a good night's sleep, Iger clicked on his attribute bar, and he found that his physical value had increased a little, but it still hadn't recovered to the maximum value it should have.Iger clicked on the physical value and saw that the fatigue state disappeared, and a new hunger was added.

Hunger Max Stamina -10
On this sunny morning, Iger realized another serious knowledge point: to survive in this doomsday world, the infected are not the only, or even the biggest threat.

All the living materials that were within reach in the old days are now precious survival resources that need to be struggled to obtain.

Like a safe place to live.

For example, food.

Like clean drinking water.

For example, drugs.

Like fuel.

For example, supplies to keep out the cold and survive the winter.

Thinking of this, Iger can't wait to fall asleep on the bed again, in case he wakes up and finds that he has gone back again.

Just as Iger was sitting on the simple wooden bed in a daze, Sister Maria came over, and she said to Iger in a pleasant voice: "You are awake, come and have breakfast."

There is even breakfast, did you get something new last night?

Iger jumped off the bed directly, and stepped over to the wooden dining table in two or three steps without thinking about wearing his shoes.

There was only a very simple breakfast on the table: a glass of water and half a slice of bread.

Iger looked at the half piece of bread, and suddenly his eyes became hot.He silently sat on the chair, picked up the bread and ate it seriously.

The bread is salty and hard, but it gives Iger a very fulfilling feeling. He needs such strong bread very much now.

Iger chewed the bread hard with his teeth and saliva until the bread slipped into his stomach involuntarily mixed with saliva. Then he picked up the cup and took a sip of cold water, rinsed it first, and then swallowed it.

After eating something, the hunger became more serious. Iger was very experienced in this situation. After he drank the glass of cold water slowly and bit by bit, he finally felt a comfortable sense of fullness.

Iger clicked on the character attribute bar, his hunger state disappeared, and his physical value slowly recovered to 60 points.

Outside the church, Father Locke and Vance were discussing something there. When Iger walked into the courtyard, they both turned and looked at him.

"Son, come and try this ax." Father Locke handed an ax with a blackened metal ax handle due to rust and repeated grinding, and handed it to Iger, and then Vance picked up a firewood and stood up.

Iger knew that this was testing his ability to use a weapon. He took a deep breath, lifted the ax and shouted, and then chopped down on the firewood with all his strength.

"Dole." With a very light sound, Iger looked down and saw that the ax had cut into the firewood less than 1 centimeter, and he couldn't even carry the firewood after lifting the axe.

Iger said embarrassingly: "I cut a pimple just now, it doesn't count. I'll come again."

When Iger was about to use all his strength to strike another axe, Vance snatched his beloved logging axe.

"No, it's boring," Vance said to the priest.

The priest also nodded, as if he had anticipated the situation.

Today Iger and Vance are going out to find food together. If Iger doesn’t even have the basic self-defense ability, Vance might as well go out alone to save worry, so as not to go out with a pair and come back with one.

Just when Iger was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to resolve it, Father Locke handed him a gadget.

"Come on, boy, try this," said Father Locke.

Iger looked down and saw that it was a pistol.
