blood plague

Chapter 149 The Way Is Different

In the middle and late apocalypse when resources are extremely scarce, it is not uncommon for scavengers to fight for a little scrap.

But now, there are so many resources that you only need to bend over to pick them up. Whether it is different teams or individual scavengers, there is no need for competition and conflict at all.

You know, fighting is risky.

At present, when everyone is fighting, the biggest risk is not that both sides must have guns, but that once anyone is injured, there will be no ambulance to save lives, and the death rate is quite high.

Joanna stopped the pickup truck, and then everyone got out of the car together. After observing for a while, they found that no one really cared about them.

At this time, Iger reached out to stop a woman pushing a full trolley, and he asked, "Sorry, please."

"These are mine." The woman interrupted Iger bluntly, time is precious, who has time to waste time here.

Iger took a step back in embarrassment, and the woman quickly pushed the trolley towards a car. Looking at her back in a hurry, she looked very much like a housewife who left her three children and her husband at home and went shopping alone.

"Go, go around." Iger said to the four people behind him, and then he took the lead into the store.

The shelves in the store are much empty, but there are still many kinds of goods.A few strange survivors are carefully selecting what they need like shopping, instead of frantically stuffing everything they see into their cart.

Apparently, their cars are full, and now everyone is just looking to see if there is anything missing.

Speaking of it, everyone can come here to buy for zero yuan, or it has something to do with the Gospel team.

At noon the day before yesterday, Lily mentioned in the Gospel broadcast that the clusters of infected people are clustering, and some infected people may leave their original locations and migrate along the road.At this time, the survivor team around the town carefully came to Toduo Town to explore. Wow, sure enough, this town is empty.

As a result, the survivor teams around the town all ran over to make zero-dollar purchases.

However, no one thought of occupying this small town. First, it was unnecessary, second, it was unnecessary, and third, it was incapable.

Not to mention occupying here, these survivors are ready to give up even their original stronghold at any time.

Their thinking is similar to Ben's, all they need to do now is to replenish supplies, then keep moving, and then replenish supplies.

It can be said that the small survivor team is now almost ready to fight against the infected.

After walking around the store, Iger turned to the back door of the store.

There is a small yard in the back door, and there is a small van about the size of a van in the yard.

Iger walked over to open the car door. There was no key in the car, and the tire size of this car was too small to match the fully loaded van.

The van looks new, and if it can be used, you can jump directly from option 1 to the backup plan.

Joanna came over and saw Iger staring at the truck in a daze, she turned and went back to the store, walking straight towards the cash register.

After a while, Joanna, who was chewing gum, came over. She held up a finger and was turning a car key with a buckle on her finger.

Thomas was wandering around the store eating potato chips.

Potato chips, a snack with a large volume and little content, was first given up by experienced survivors at the moment.When people choose food, they are more inclined to things with high energy per unit, such as chocolate, compressed biscuits, etc. All kinds of canned food are also very popular.

Thomas was eating potato chips. At this time, he felt that the field work was really good, and it was really much better than the back office.

After shopping around for a couple of times, he only heard the roar of a car outside the door. Thomas glanced left and right, and suddenly he was the only one left in the store.

Thomas's heart tightened. He threw the potato chips in his hand on the ground, turned around and ran out the door.

Outside the store, Thomas breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his pickup truck parked there properly.

Although there is no need to worry about eating and drinking here, Thomas didn't want to be left here alone at all. He turned and walked into the store. After turning around again, he found that the other 4 people in the team were studying a small car with the hood open van.

Cut, what a big deal.

Thomas turned back to the store, picked up another bag of potato chips, and walked around while eating.

After the fuel tank cap of the minivan was opened, Iger shook the car vigorously a few times. He heard the sound of fuel rippling inside, and there was some fuel.

So now there is only one reason why the fire cannot be ignited, and the battery is dead.This is simple, just use a pickup truck to connect electricity.

Electric wires in the wilderness are hard to find, but in small towns, they are still hard to find.Take the vise and go to the street to clamp it casually.

After the work was assigned, Joanna and Nicholas went back to the pickup truck together.

Joanna drove the pickup truck around the other side of the street to the backyard, and Nicholas took a pliers from the toolbox to see where to get a length of wire.

The positive pole of the minivan has been disconnected. Not long after the pickup truck arrived, Nicholas also came with a wire. Everyone connected the positive and negative poles of the minivan to the pickup truck battery. Ryan stepped on the clutch and twisted on the car. There was only a soft click of the key, and the minivan started successfully.

Afterwards, based on the idea of ​​not taking it for nothing, everyone gave another wave of supplies. Iger thought of the unpleasant experience last night, he kicked open the door of a house at random, took two beds and was covered and tied up. Throw it in a pickup truck.

With so many supplies added, the pickup truck is packed to the brim. The only problem now is that there is no space left for manning, and the shooter can no longer turn over into the cargo compartment.

But it's not a big problem. Iger predicts that as long as they don't take the initiative to trouble the infected, the infected won't be able to trouble them.

Cars can run much faster than people.

Iger does not agree with the homeless life of the car.This method of running around is indeed an efficient, safe, and low-risk approach from the current point of view.

But Iger remembers a sentence. When I first started working, I brought my big brother to teach him earnestly: "Do difficult things."

The difficult things mentioned here do not refer to "advancement when there are difficulties, and creation of difficulties when there are no difficulties", but that there are two sets of methods to solve a problem, one is easy for short-term, and the other is difficult for long-term.

Then, we must dare to choose the difficult way.

Wandering around in a car is an easy choice to solve the current problem. After all, even if all the infected people on this land are gathered together, they cannot stand on the entire continent. There is indeed a huge gap in survival.

But what this mobile life cannot solve is to restore and develop production.

To develop production, one must settle down, and establishing a permanent settlement is an extremely difficult job, but once completed, it will pay off extremely long.

If there are no settlements and everyone is fighting guerrillas everywhere, people can only be consumers, constantly consuming existing materials.

Although the nutrients left by human civilization are extremely abundant, they will be exhausted sooner or later.

More importantly, people's thoughts will change, people's will will be worn down, and people's skills will gradually degenerate due to neglect.

Picking up waste to live, you can live like this for one year, and you can also live like this for five years, but what about ten years later, or twenty years later.

More seriously, when the people of this generation who have seen the most glorious civilization are old or dead, how will the new generation after the outbreak of the blood plague know what "rebuilding civilization" is?
It is impossible to build settlements now, and it is even more impossible to build settlements in the future.

Because the human heart grows grass.

So for these few strangers, Iger didn't even report the name of his team after a shallow chat, let alone the idea of ​​wooing them.

The way is different, don't think of it.

You walk your Yangguan Road, I have come to my single-plank bridge.

Although this small van is much smaller than the previous van, it is very new and in good condition, and its stability on snowy roads is much higher than that of the old van.

The stability of a car on icy and snowy roads does not depend only on the size of the vehicle. Some people say that the heavier the car, the more stable it is, but this is not necessarily the case.

Generally speaking, with the advancement of technology, the safety performance of new cars is all-round crushing of old cars.

This small van has a high configuration and sufficient heating. Thomas found a music CD, and then the subwoofer on the car played the sound of "moving every time".

Half an hour later, everyone returned to the anchor point of the van. Iger opened the van compartment, took off a few gas masks from it, and prepared to start moving the goods.

After putting on the gas mask, Iger suddenly thought of a problem. He took off the gas mask and said to everyone: "Come on, let's go to the fertilizer warehouse to load the car."

Hey, that's right.

Iger suddenly thought, since they are all loaded into cars, why not go to the warehouse to load them.

Let him throw this cart of chemical fertilizer here, and no one will take it anyway, and he can't take it away if he wants to. If he returns to the base camp, wait for Vance to patch up the tire, and then send a car to bring it over, or he can just pull it away. Go back.

Why put it back and forth again.

In this way, after turning around, the field team returned to the fertilizer warehouse and repeated yesterday's work.

But today everyone's physical strength is not very good, everyone will work for a while and rest for a while, and when the car is full, it will be remembered that we haven't had lunch yet.

Everyone who was exhausted had no energy to rush back. Iger was not a model worker. Even if he wanted to be a model worker, he had to consider whether his subordinates would follow or not.

Therefore, at three o'clock in the afternoon, the field team decided to rest in the fertilizer warehouse until the next day. The good news is that they got a lot of supplies today, and dinner can be eaten open.

Now, even Nicholas had to believe that the benefits of the field team were really good, and he could eat two cans for this dinner!
