blood plague

Chapter 159 Chapter 158

After arriving in Jixi Town, Iger was going to ask the teacher why a group of infected people approached only three or four kilometers away from Jixi Town.

As a result, Iger heard a news that shocked him.There were actually defectors in the gospel team, and two groups of people defected for two consecutive days!
Iger has a crow's mouth, saying good things don't work, and saying bad things is accurate.

When Iger merged the "Love and Family Team", he proposed a "three-step" plan to prevent all kinds of nonsense after the merger.

At that time, Iger was worried about three points. The worst thing was that the conflict between old and new members caused internal fire.

In order to prevent a firefight and give the old members the upper hand in firepower as much as possible, Iger deliberately kept Fran and Erica, plus Vance, the three of them could stabilize the situation together.

It is said that everyone has guns during the fire, but whether they have received military training or not, the actual difference shown is very big.

Some organizations have conducted statistics, and the ratio of soldiers who have received complete military training to armed civilians in battle is about 1:22.

Armed civilians here generally refer to people who can use guns.

If it is a civilian who does not know how to use a gun, the battle damage ratio will be further increased.

Take the Gospel team as an example. Although Iger and Fran have the best marksmanship in the team, if the two of them are teamed up to participate in a live-action chicken game, and the opponents are Vance and Erica, then their probability of being killed Infinitely close to 100%.

Accurate marksmanship and actual combat survival are two different things. New recruits who go into battle are often killed without knowing what is going on.

You can recall when you first came into contact with shooting games, if you only had one life, how many rounds could you live to.

Fortunately, the thing that Iger was most worried about did not happen.

The second worst thing is this collective defection.

Group defections can easily lead to team disunity.

The third worst thing is a long-term worry.

Iger is worried that the new members will take advantage of the absolute superiority in numbers and use non-violent methods to slowly crowd out and seize control of the gospel team.

The defection happened twice in a row, which severely weakened the Gospel team, but the remaining members had to unite in this sudden battle and join forces to destroy the enemy.This kind of concerted efforts has enhanced the sense of cohesion of the old members and the sense of identity of the new members.

After all the field teams returned, all 25 remaining members of the Gospel team gathered at the gate of the Morgan Building except for the seriously wounded. They looked at Father Locke expectantly, hoping that he would announce the hard-won victory.

Father Locke straightened his hunched waist. He looked at Vance who was still recovering from a serious illness, then at Iger who was standing at the front of the crowd, at Sister Maria, Andy, Fran, Ellie Card, Elvira, these old members, finally looked at Nicholas, Ella, Kate, Robin...

Father Locke proclaimed loudly to the crowd: "We won!"

All of a sudden, there were voices everywhere, and many people left tears of excitement.

Iger calmly looked at the cheering crowd around him, holding back his sigh and shaking his head.

Although in Iger's view, the Gospel team had a huge somersault this time and fell several times in a row, this victory is really not worth cheering and celebrating.

However, people need this victory at the moment. Even Iger doesn't know where he won and what he won.

The only thing that makes Iger feel better is that although the Gospel team has been hit hard this time and the loss can be described as heavy, overall, the basic market has not been affected.

As long as the vast majority of members still identify with the Gospel team, and as long as the town is still under the control of the team, the fundamentals will be stable.

Petunia's remains have been laid and a solemn funeral will be held tomorrow morning.

The dinner is very simple. Everyone is tired these days and is not in the mood to cook a big meal for celebration.

After dinner, there is a dinner party as usual.

At the meeting, Father Locke first told everyone about the source and development of the crisis.

The first thing that needs to be explained is why the infected group was discovered when they were about to approach the city, the second is why the Eiger field team did not return immediately, and the third is the two defections.

After Father Locke finished his brief speech, he asked each member to share their thoughts on this incident.

Beginning with Sister Maria, everyone was talking about sadness and sadness, but when it came to Iger, he opened his mouth to self-criticism.

"This time, first of all, I am responsible." Iger reviewed to everyone, "I did not turn on the radio on time as required, so that I missed Lily's broadcast instructions."

Father Locke waved his hand at Iger, and he asked everyone to talk about their feelings. This is a very common way of sharing feelings.

Showing one's own fragility to everyone can easily shorten the psychological distance between people, which is a common means of cohesive members in a team.

As a result, Iger made self-criticism from the very beginning. If he was allowed to do this, the meeting would not be able to go on.

Well, Iger's self-criticism was stopped, but he still didn't follow the routine, asked him to talk about his feelings, and he really started to talk about his feelings.

"I feel like we're going to have to reschedule our Rapid Creek renovation plan.

When I planned before, I was too conservative.I think we need to revise the original plan, and include the business district of Jixi Town as a whole in the scope of renovation as much as possible.

I found a bad trend. In the future, there will be a large number of "locust" survivors. They will not produce, but will eat all the way. After exhausting the resources, they will go to other places to continue to consume.

In order to fight against this locust organization, we need to increase the collection of resources, and collect as many materials as possible before they are exhausted.

Therefore, we have to take a long-term view. First of all, in the enclosure of the safety zone, the size of the circle can be as large as possible, and the collected resources can be counted as much as possible. In this way, the safety zone can be extended to the side of the gas station.

Our team must have complete control over the gas station.

Gasoline is what these 'locusts' need most. Without gasoline, they can't go anywhere.

Gasoline is an important production material, and not a single drop can be wasted for them.

By the way, we found a deserted town yesterday. I suggest that the back office organize a scavenger team to grab supplies.

In addition, our materials in the Gospel community, any usable materials, including the remaining gasoline in the oil depot, and the canned food in the outpost, were all transported to Jixi Town for centralized storage.

Finally, I would like to emphasize one sentence: running around is tantamount to seeking death.Once the material consumption breaks through to the critical point, that is, each supplementary material is less than the consumption, then the end of the team will come.

And I think that day will come sooner than they think. "

Iger didn't say a word. He didn't know if it was a coincidence that there were two consecutive "encirclement" incidents of infected people.If it is not a coincidence, how did the infected group achieve simultaneous encirclement.

Those guys thought that the group of infected people moved randomly, but if the group of infected people did not move randomly, but cooperated and encircled them regularly, then the space for the survivors to move would be greatly reduced.

Iger finished speaking, and the thought sharing session could not continue.That being the case, Andy took over the chair of the meeting, and he announced the convening of the board of directors, and others were eligible to attend.

The content of the board of directors this time is: the disposal of defectors.
