Chapter 195 A Good Neighbor Is Better Than A Bad Neighbor

200 meters away from the parapet, Joanna stopped the pickup truck, and then she also rolled into the car.

If a shootout breaks out, sitting in the driver's seat is definitely not as safe as being in the car, not to mention that Iger needs an observer.

Joanna picked up the binoculars after arriving in the carriage. After a quick look at the situation in front of her, she said to Iger, "There seems to be no ambush."

"Don't be careless." Iger focused on the vehicles and furniture on the side of the road, and he said, "I don't understand what these people want to do."

After the two had a short chat, Iger turned his attention to the distance.

"squeak!!!"

Nicholas slammed the pickup truck to a stop, jumped out of the car, and shouted aggressively: "You guys! How dare you..."

Just as Nicholas spoke, a man in a white robe standing in the middle of the queue turned his head.

He opened his eyes and glanced at Nicholas. Nicholas was startled. With this pause, the momentum that had been brewing disappeared.

"You have destroyed the important assets of the Gospel team," Nicholas said with a fierce tone, "You also invaded the territory of the Gospel team without authorization, you..."

"My friend." The blind man in a white robe with extremely scarce blond hair said to Nicholas, "We have prepared sufficient compensation for all of this."

"Compensation alone is not enough..." Nicholas said.

"So I'm here waiting for you to come, and let me personally apologize to Father Locke." The blind man closed his eyes after "looking" at Nicholas.The eyelids covered the hollow eye sockets, and although they still looked a little shriveled, they were less scary.

"This..." Nicholas was completely "pinched" by someone, and he suddenly ran out of words.

Iger had heard the conversation through the walkie-talkie hanging on Nicholas's chest in the distance. After he put down the M16 in his hand, he said to Joanna: "Let's go, Joanna, let's go too."

Right now it seems that there is no way to fight. These people are here to find trouble, but they are not here to find fault.

When Iger and Joanna arrived, several team members naturally made way for them.

After hearing the sound, the blind man turned his head. He opened his eyes and "looked" at Iger and Joanna. Those empty eye sockets startled Joanna.

At that moment, Iger's heart also jumped. After all, when he saw such a thing at first glance in broad daylight, he would definitely be taken aback.

It was just that moment, Iger stabilized his emotions, he walked to the front of the queue unhurriedly, and stood there quietly.

Maybe it's impolite to look directly at the flaws of the disabled, but they don't care, and Iger doesn't care.

In this way, Iger and the blind man calmly "looked at each other" for a few seconds, and the blind man said, "My child, you are very different."

Iger frowned, how did he know he was a child?
After Iger took a quick look at the blind man, he suddenly understood in seconds.

This "child" has nothing to do with age, it is a special word for magic sticks, and Father Locke didn't call everyone a "child".

As for "being different", this is a common phrase used by magic sticks, and Iger has heard it too much.

After hearing the first words the man said to himself, Iger had a preliminary judgment on him, so he immediately thought of the next countermeasure.

"I'm Iger, the field captain of the Gospel Team." Iger said to the blind man who seemed to be the talker in a business-like tone: "I am fully responsible for this, and you can just apologize to me. Alright, let's start."

Although the tone of Iger's words was very peaceful, it sounded extremely uncomfortable.

It’s okay to be uncomfortable, that’s what Iger wants.

A savvy chess player can calculate many moves in his head, but if you make an unexpected bad move in the next move, let alone what the result will be, at least you will jump out of the opponent's expected judgment.

Iger wants to know now, what the hell are they trying to do.

"Hi Iger, I'm John." The blind man didn't show any emotional fluctuations because of Iger's words. He said, "First of all, I want to clarify some misunderstandings. We are not unreasonable people, nor are we based on any disrespect. Come here. I hope to see Father Locke, and I want to discuss something with him."

When Blind John said this, Iger understood immediately.

They put up such a formation here, to put it bluntly, they are asking for attention.

The purpose of seeking attention is very simple, nothing more than to gain some psychological advantage in negotiation.

It is also a negotiation, there must be a difference between coming to the door to ask for peace and being "invited" to go there.

Now that he understands the other party's request, Iger understands it.

Iger said calmly: "For the time being, this is your apology. What about compensation? Let me see your sincerity."

John nodded, the person next to him was already prepared.Without ordering, those people quickly carried two boxes from behind the barricade.After opening the box, I saw a box of firearms and a box of ammunition.

Iger bent down to pick up an AR15 from the box, pulled out the magazine and took a look, it was full.

Sure enough, the other party was not that naive, and just lined up in a row waiting to be shot.

These weapons they prepared, if the contact is successful, they will be presented to themselves as gifts, and if there is a firefight, they can be used to fight back.

Iger threw the AR15 back into the box, since others are eagerly coming to pay homage to the mountain to give a big gift, then accept it.

Iger raised his leg and kicked the box shut. He turned to Nicholas and said, "Nicholas, take the box to your car."

It doesn't matter whether you are courteous or sugar-coated, I'll accept the things, thank you.

After Nicholas carried the weapons and ammunition into the car, Iger ordered: "Let's go."

Sorry, I only eat the bait, not the hook.

Iger turned around and walked a few steps and stopped suddenly. He turned his head to those people and said, "Welcome to Rapid Creek Town, my friends."

When the field team withdrew to Rapid Creek Town, Iger hurriedly found Father Locke and several others and reported the news to them.

"The man in the lead called himself John, he was wearing a white robe, he was blind, and he had the aura of a magician." Iger said to everyone, "His two eyeballs are gone, and he likes to look at people with empty eye sockets, which is a little scary. I suspect this is a trick of his. When negotiating with him, you must beware of this, otherwise it is easy for him to control the rhythm.

Judging from the information provided by Bill and the senses they gave me, this is a group of highly organized and disciplined survivors, and their purpose is most likely to want to carry out long-term trade or form a strategic alliance with us.

Whether we like it or not, it is a fait accompli that the opposing team has occupied Rose Town, and this neighbor is not something we can choose.

In some respects, this kind of internal control ability is very strong, and it is not necessarily a bad thing for a rational team to be our neighbor. A good neighbor is always better than a bad neighbor.

However, it is necessary to prevent the other party from deliberately paralyzing us.I have notified Erica to arrange a 24-hour double guard for the watchtower.In the near future, the field team will not be dispatched for the time being. I think if the other party really has a next plan, no matter what kind of contact it is, it must be in the next few days. "

The information Iger brought is very important. After Father Locke and the others listened to Iger's report, everyone began to discuss the next solution.

　Three characters with very tricky backgrounds have been established, and the character settings will be updated with the development of the plot.

　　Everyone is welcome to model characters, and I will randomly select them when needed.
