Ryan had made up his mind before coming. If the gospel team took him in or was very friendly to him, he would tell them this important news.
If the evangelical team drives itself away, or even becomes hostile and hostile to itself, then Lane will not reveal the slightest bit.
That's why Ryan was so calm just now. The gospel team's attitude towards him will determine their survival or destruction.
If the story about Markas Farm being destroyed by a wave of infected people overnight by Ryan just now is still a story that happened to others, then the fact that this large group of infected people are moving in their direction is horrifying news.
As soon as Egg heard what Ryan said, he immediately asked: "When you encountered the group of infected people, how many hours had they been gone, and how far away were they from the farm?"
Lane said: "The infected group left the farm before dawn, and I set off after listening to Miss Lily's broadcast at noon. I don't have a timer, but it should be less than 12 hours and more than 6 hours.
The place where I caught up with them was probably on the road about 4 kilometers away from the farm. There were very, very, very many infected people. I estimate there should be more than 500.
Fortunately, there were farmland and grassland nearby, so I drove the car off the road, bypassing most of the infected people, and then rushed over with the accelerator."
Egger quickly calculated the distance of 4 kilometers, and roughly estimated that an infected person can walk 0.5 kilometers in an hour, which is the normal moving speed of an infected person.
But infected people can move 24 hours a day, and they can move 12 kilometers a day. Ryan said that Markas Farm is about 130 kilometers away from Jixi Town. Iger asked in detail, and it is about 130 kilometers away, so this wave of infected people will be around 10 days later.
arrive.
There is only a 10-day safety period left.
Within these 10 days, the defense construction of Jixi Town must be completed, and preparations must be made to change the siege to a siege if the infected cannot hold it.
Ammunition and food reserves, as well as the modification of evacuation vehicles, all these things must be carried out immediately.
Iger glanced at everyone who was in deep shock. He sighed, forget it, I won't irritate everyone anymore today, let's talk about these headaches tomorrow.
Egger walked over, patted Ryan on the shoulder, and said to him: "Sorry, man, my attitude was a bit bad just now."
Ryan hugged Egg gratefully and said, "It's okay, friend, this is what you should do."
After Father Locke and Egg started the conversation, everyone on the gospel team gave Ryan a big hug, and his farm atmosphere was shared with everyone.
Later, everyone warmly invited Ryan to attend today's dinner.
After dinner, everyone retreated to the hotel across the street with flashlights.
This hotel does not use a huge glass door, but only a double-open dark red wooden door, which improves its safety a lot.
The door lock had been broken. After everyone entered the hotel, Iger took the steel pipe he had prepared and bolted the door shut.
There is only a small lounge and service desk on the first floor of the hotel. The stairs at the back lead to the second floor where you can find the accommodation area.
There are a total of 12 rooms in the accommodation area, of which 8 are standard rooms with double beds and the remaining 4 are slightly larger deluxe rooms.
Because everyone drank some wine tonight, it was inevitable that they would be a little excited and tired. In addition, Iger felt that the safety of this small hotel was pretty good, so he announced that everyone would have a rest tonight and there would be no night watch.
Regarding the arrangement of the rooms, Iger only asked that the rooms should not be occupied and that they should be used regularly, so everyone chose their own roommates.
On the girls' side, Joanna and Lily slept together, Elvira lived with Sister Maria, and Erica and Catherine lived together.
On the men's side, Father Locke was pushed into a room with a luxurious bed. This is the treatment that a team leader should enjoy.
Among the remaining people, Andy and Clyde shared a room, while Egg and Vance slept together.
Finally, the new Ryan was in a room alone.
After everyone finished allocating things in this way, they went back to their rooms to sleep.
Tonight, Vance drank a lot of strong alcohol. He took off his shoes, lay on the bed, pulled the quilt around him, and soon started snoring loudly.
Ige smiled bitterly. He was also very tired today. If it thunders, let it thunder.
Iger underestimated Vance's snoring and overestimated his own sleepiness. He lay on the bed and turned around, struggling for a long time without falling asleep.
Feeling sleepy and unable to fall asleep, Iger was dizzy. He lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling with his eyes open. When his eyes had fully adapted to the light coming in from the window, he could even see clearly on the ceiling.
texture.
No, it's no use staring like this until dawn. I originally thought that Vance's snoring was just a blitzkrieg, but I didn't expect that it was a protracted fight. It has been so long and it hasn't stopped for a minute.
Egger got up and climbed up. He was going to go to the Morgan Building opposite, which was still brightly lit, and look for it. There should be a counter selling soundproof earmuffs there.
Egg opened the door with extreme sleepiness. As soon as he opened the door, a figure stumbled in.
In an instant, Iger lost all sleep. He jumped back quickly and pulled out the pistol from his waist.
"Boom."
The black figure fell down on the thick carpet in the room. With the light coming from the window, Egger took a closer look and saw that it turned out to be Ryan.
This guy, what is he doing leaning against my door! Is he eavesdropping?!
Egger immediately became alert.
Different from the foursome of life and death, Egg has very low trust in people who come to seek refuge alone. The reason is very simple and difficult to prove in isolation.
When Andy waited for the four people to come over, Iger talked to the four people many times, and finally combined all the details of their conversations, and the result was a perfect fit.
Generally, even if it is a conspiracy, it is difficult to achieve 100% agreement in details, so the experiences of these four people can corroborate each other.
But Ryan is different. He is alone. Now no one can drive to some farm more than 100 kilometers away to check it out on the spot. Besides, who knows where that farm is.
After Ryan got up from the ground, he saw Egger pointing a pistol at him. He apologized to Egger with a sad face and said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean it."
"Then what do you mean?" Egger is not far from Ryan, but he can guarantee that as long as Ryan dares to pounce, the first person who encounters him will definitely be a bullet.
Ryan stammered: "I'm scared and don't dare to sleep alone."
…
I believe you as a ghost.
When Egger was about to take a few steps back and slap Vance awake, he saw Ryan suddenly crying.
Ryan sobbed and choked and said: "I was not such a timid person before, but since last night, but since last night. Just now I was alone in the room, scared to death."
Egger stared at Ryan who was crying so much that his nose was running out. No matter what, Ryan was either telling the truth, or he was a once-in-a-century actor.
"Why are you eavesdropping at the door of my room?" Egger did not let the actor go. He did not rule out the possibility that Ryan was a spy.
Ryan wiped his nose with his sleeve and said: "All the doors were locked, and I didn't dare to knock on the door. Only you can hear the snoring. I sat close to the door and heard the snoring.
It was very practical. So I squatted on the ground and fell asleep leaning against the door."
…
…
Egger finally believed what Ryan said. Such damning words were not something ordinary people could make up.
When something is ridiculous to a certain extent, you should first think about why people would make up such cheap lies. If you think about it differently, maybe they are telling the truth.
Egg put away his pistol and asked Ryan: "What room number are you in?"
Ryan said: "Room 10."
"Okay, lucky guy. The bed in this room is yours forever." Iger walked over, patted Ryan on the back and said, "I'm going to sleep in room 10."
Under Ryan's grateful eyes, Egg walked out of the room.
Great, really the best of both worlds, no need to look for earmuffs.
