blood plague

Chapter 73 New plan

After completing the first personnel promotion proposal, Iger summarized and reported the hunting results during this period to everyone.

To everyone's disappointment, this debriefing was not all that encouraging.

Iger told everyone honestly that the plan to expand the hunting team in the autumn, thinking that it would bring food supplements, did not succeed.

During this period of time, the three hunting teams carried out uninterrupted hunting operations in the forest area, and indeed brought back a lot of prey.

However, the situation that I thought that the amount of meat would pile up like a mountain did not appear, it just maintained a balance between food consumption and supplementation.

The biggest effect may be to replace a lot of flour foods (hard steamed buns with salt), and the second is to add a lot of necessary protein and fat for everyone.

Now there are 12 adults in the Gospel team, and only those who have been in charge of meals know how much 12 adults need to eat a day.

Many people think that I can only eat a small bowl of rice for each meal, not much.

If you cut off other foods, such as various snacks, milk tea, fruits, vegetables, and meat, and just eat the staple food, one person may not be able to eat two catties of rice a day.

Hunting as a source of food, as Iger estimated before, even with modern weapons, is still too reluctant, and there are not enough prey in general.

Perhaps once on the great plains of the American continent, hunting alone could make a good living, because at that time, there were about 6500 million American bison on this land of America, and thousands of bison herds could be seen everywhere.

The American bison is also the largest land animal in North America. An adult bull can reach a height of 1.8 meters and weigh nearly a ton. Hunting a bison is enough for people to eat for a long time.

But since a group of thugs from Europe set foot on this land, they found various reasons to use advanced firearms to slaughter bison.By 1890, there were fewer than 1000 bison left in North America.

Although the white-tailed deer is said to be infested, this dexterous creature is very alert. Of course, if the alertness is not high, they would have faced extinction like the bison.

Moreover, the white-tailed deer seem to be able to smell the scent left by humans. After the forest is searched today, they will never set foot again the next day.

This also caused the hunting team to circle more and more every day, but the harvest did not increase much.

In the last collective hunt, I don’t know if it was because the continuous fleece harvesting turned the stupid guys into frozen meat, or because most of the animals had already stored food and fat for the winter, and their foraging activities were greatly reduced. Anyway, the hunting team The three small teams wandered around the woods for three days, only hitting a few rabbits.

Iger made a decisive decision, interrupted the hunting plan, and continued to put manpower and time here, but the gain outweighed the loss.

Of course, hunting activities will not stop, but will return to Fran's one-man action. This is the optimal solution for manpower and efficiency.

The trial planting of the potato field was worse than expected. Many potatoes failed to survive after being planted. Seeing that winter has come, none of the potatoes planted in this batch have sprouted.

I don't know if it's because it hasn't been planted well, or because the seeds are dormant because the temperature is too low. Iger has a deep understanding of "who knows the food on the plate, every grain is hard work".

After all, the team lacks a person who really knows how to farm.

The Yuanduo production greenhouse has been established long ago, but it seems that it was too late. After using the stove to heat the room, it did not attract flies to breed.

The Gospel team's open source plans during this period, in general, are far from achieving their expected goals, although they are not a failure.

At present, if the team wants to obtain food that will allow everyone to eat until next spring, there is only one way to take down Jixi Town and search for supplies.

After setting the current goal, they began to formulate an action plan and decided to establish an advance team to clear and occupy Jixi Town.

The members of the advance team are all the members of the second and third teams of Gospel Search and Rescue, that is, Iger's old partners Joanna, Andy, and Erica.

There is a small problem at the moment. Although Jixi Town is only more than 20 kilometers away from the Gospel Church, it is nearly 50 kilometers if you go back and forth.

In the past, it was only 50 kilometers, and there was one round trip every day, which was not a troublesome thing at all, but the first thing to consider at present is fuel consumption.

This world can no longer afford to waste any resources luxuriously.

All kinds of resources today are almost consumables, use less, especially modern industrial products, which may not be able to be reproduced in the next few hundred years.

In order to reduce the trouble of running back and forth, Iger thought of a simple way to build an outpost.

The action team is temporarily stationed at the outpost and does not have to return to the church every day, which can save a lot of fuel and maximize the use of precious time during the day.

After the action plan was approved by Father Locke, everyone began to load the car with various materials needed to establish an outpost.

The hunting activities some time ago have greatly improved everyone's ability to live in the wild. In addition to sufficient ammunition and food, there is also a set of liquefied gas tanks and kitchen utensils (taken from Joanna's house), and the most they bring are thick mats and cotton quilt.

Soon, the supplies were ready, and after saying goodbye to everyone, the search and rescue team set off.

Joanna was still driving, Andy was the co-pilot as a security officer, and Iger and Erica sat in the back.

Many people may not understand why Iger and Erica must sit in the back row. This is because in case of emergency, Iger and Erica can quickly flip into the cargo compartment behind the pickup truck.

Pickup truck + gunner, this is the most classic low-cost combination in modern warfare.

Taking advantage of the rest, Iger clicked on the long-lost attribute bar.

It has been a few months since he was reborn through time travel. Iger's body has recovered well, and he has recovered after experiencing the blood plague infection.

The initial physique of this body actually has 4 points. Iger made an analogy to Father Locke. When he first met Father Locke, the priest's physique was "only" 7 points.

The potential of this body is very good, as long as it can ensure adequate nutrition and live to the age of 18, its physique is estimated to not be lower than 7 points.

The dexterous explanation made Iger a little concerned, as if he hadn't used all the dexterity of his body.

With this body, the hardware configuration is good, but the exercise software is too hip.

Iger felt aggrieved that it was not his fault. Who told the physical education teacher to be sick all the time when he needed exercise most.

Mind, the comprehensive embodiment of Iger's own willpower and wisdom, makes him very satisfied that his mind is as high as 9 points.

What surprised Iger the most was that when he first crossed over, he was infected with blood plague, fell and lost two big teeth.

Unexpectedly, the gaps in the teeth were itchy for the past few days. He licked it with his tongue and found that the teeth popped out again.

It’s good to be young. The last time I fell out were two deciduous teeth. Thinking of this, Iger couldn’t help but want to laugh up to the sky: This kind of feeling of earning two teeth for nothing, I have never experienced tooth fillings, tooth extractions, and tooth implants. People in the process can't understand it.

After the pickup truck crossed the three-way intersection, it walked towards Jixi Town on the left. Before walking two kilometers, the pickup truck stopped suddenly.

Iger and Erica opened the back door and quickly flipped into the cargo compartment and started working.
