Chapter 97 Base Camp Relocation Plan

Once Iger's proposal to transfer the base camp was thrown out, it was like the second boot fell to the ground.

In fact, since the organization began to clean up Jixi Town, although it has never been officially mentioned, everyone has considered this matter, and now everyone has officially entered the big discussion.

Vance, Fran, and Elvira felt that they should remain in the gospel community, and all three had different reasons.

Vance was reluctant to part with the production workshop in his home.

To be honest, it is very difficult to relocate this production workshop. First of all, there are no suitable transportation vehicles and handling tools.

Once the camp was moved to Jixi Town, it would be almost impossible to build such a production workshop.

Losing the production workshop is equivalent to pulling off a layer of Vance's skin, and he is unwilling to leave no matter what.

Fran was not there, but Elvira understood his thoughts very well, so she represented him.

The reason for Fran's reluctance to transfer seems simple, but he is extremely stubborn: Fran is not familiar with the forests and landforms around Rapid Creek.

Many people think that social phobia is just having some communication difficulties when interacting with people. In fact, its situation is not just that simple.

The root cause of social phobia is excessive and unreasonable fear of certain objective things or situations in the outside world. In human terms, it is the inability to adapt to unfamiliar environments.

So don't look at Fran's reason as if it doesn't seem to be a big problem, but it is actually the most resolute attitude, the kind that won't leave even if you are killed.

The reason why Elvira is unwilling to change places is not complicated. She feels that the Gospel Church is very safe.

The security of the Gospel Church is indeed very high.

It is located on the top of a hill next to the Gospel Community. It has a very good view from the bell tower and can cover an area with a radius of several kilometers.

With this special location, the Gospel Church is not only easy to defend and difficult to attack, but also has a wide range of security. As long as the light is sufficient, it is impossible for the infected to sneak under the wall.

Whether it is a residential area or a commercial area in Jixi Township, there are no buildings that can reach the safety of the current evangelical church.

Elvira is also very familiar with Rapid Creek Town. After all, it is the closest and only small town to the Gospel Community, so she knows that in Rapid Creek Town, the houses in the residential area are generally small; the buildings in the commercial area are too dense.

These are all negative factors that can reduce the safety of the camp.

Above are the people who do not support the transfer of camps and their reasons.

Those who support the transfer of camps include Iger, Andy, and Erica.

Iger's opinion is very clear, the Gospel Church is a very good camp, but it is too small for the current team.

If it's just small, you can overcome it. The Gospel Community is located in a pocket-shaped valley, and there is only one road out of the valley.This single path makes the gospel community extremely safe, but at the same time restricts its development.

The resources of the current gospel community are about to be exhausted. As the scope of waste collection expands, the transportation cost will become higher and higher.

Jixi Town is a very good place. It not only has a larger built-up area and more abundant supplies, but also has many transportation routes, which can be described as extending in all directions, so its development potential must be stronger than that of the Gospel Community.

Andy and Erica are willing to relocate the camp to Rapid Creek Town, largely because they originally lived in Rapid Creek Town, and they have more affection there.

Other staff have a kind of attitude towards the relocation of the camp. They feel that it can be done in any way, and it depends on everyone's opinions.

After everyone talked about their wishes and reasons for their reluctance to relocate, Iger felt that these were not problems, and he began to answer the solutions to these concerns one by one.

The first thing Elvira cares about, and what should be considered first, is the safety of the camp.

Iger elaborated a bit on this aspect.He told everyone that the security mentioned by Elvira should actually be described as "geographical advantage" at its core.

Since ancient times, the important reliance and barrier of people's defense is the natural geographical advantage.

However, with the development of science and technology, geographical advantages are not only natural ones, but also can be constructed in places where there are no geographical advantages through artificial construction and transformation.

This is called "geography is not as good as people".

An irreplaceable advantage of Jixi Township is that it can restore power supply.

For modern society and modern technology, obtaining power guarantee means that a large number of tools can be restored to use.Not to mention, Vance's workshop can be operated 24 hours a day without the need for portable generators.

If the town is well utilized, a huge camp can be built. For example, use scrapped cars as wall materials to close redundant intersections, set up night lights on the periphery of the town to improve night safety, build mobile roadblocks in the town, and set up sound bait , blade traps, and more.

With time and everyone's hard work, Rapid Creek Town can be transformed into a fortress.

In that case, the safety factor of Jixi Town is much higher than that of the Gospel Church.

When Iger said this, everyone felt that this proposal sounded quite feasible, and if it could be completed according to the blueprint described by Iger, it would definitely be better than being crowded in a small rural church like it is now.

Later, Iger talked about the second important issue, which is also the key core of the above plan, which is the relocation of Vance's workshop.

"Uncle Vance, the relocation of your workshop is no longer a problem, we can easily handle it now." Iger said to Vance, "We found two usable heavy vehicles at the fire station in Rapid Creek Town yesterday. , and one of them is a fire wrecker.”

In addition to having a huge flat tailgate, the fire wrecker also has a movable boom.With the fire wrecker, moving Vance's workshop was a breeze.

As for the question raised by Fran, to be honest, the root of the problem lies in Fran himself. He is a mental patient with a doctor's certificate.

Iger is not a psychiatrist, and even if a psychiatrist came, the disease might not be curable.It is impossible for Iger to arrest Fran and use "one hundred thousand volts" for electrotherapy.

So in Fran, Iger can only find another way.

Iger said to Elvira: "Fran's concerns are well resolved. After we move out of the Gospel Church, we will not abandon it. It can be used as an outpost for him. But we definitely welcome Fran to return to Rapid Creek Town regularly Headquarters."

Iger resolved the objection in a few words, and after seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Iger formally submitted the proposal to Father Locke.

Father Locke sighed. In fact, emotionally speaking, he was also unwilling to leave this country church that he had built with his own hands.

Father Locke, who has lived here for 40 years, knows every grain of wood in the church and every weed in the yard.

But like Iger said, the evangelical church is too small, the evangelical community is too small.

During this period of time, Father Locke and Sister Maria were often calculating the amount of food reserves, and the team's food was getting less and less. No matter how they calculated, they couldn't survive this winter.

In the gospel community, even if the food can be brought back from outside this time, what about the next time, and the next time.

Father Locke quickly made a decision. He solemnly said to everyone: "I agree with Iger's proposal. For better development in the future, we should move the base camp to Jixi Town."
