Early the next morning, Vance, Andy, Clyde, and Lane drove a fire tow truck and a pickup truck toward the gospel community. Today they needed to dismantle Vance's workshop.
The next few days will be very busy, so as soon as breakfast is finished, Iger leaves everyone behind to hold an emergency defense meeting as usual.
This emergency defense work was carried out in three directions. The team's previous organizational division of labor was cancelled. Except for Fran, who had not yet returned home, all other personnel were reassigned.
The first is to organize an active enemy group, whose mission is to snipe at the giant infected group and, if possible, annihilate the infected group.
The infected group is still far away from Jixi Town. The earlier we attack, the stronger our initiative will be.
The enemy team consists of Egg, Erica, and Joanna.
The second is the Jixi Town Defense Renovation and Construction Group.
This team must complete the comprehensive renovation of Jixi Town's defense within 10 days. If the work cannot be completed on time with quality and quantity, they will have no choice but to abandon Jixi Town and retreat to the Gospel Community.
The third is the material collection team.
The task of this team is not easy either. They must complete the cleaning and collection of all materials in the entire Jixi Town in the near future. All important materials, such as bullets and food, must be concentrated in the Morgan Building to prepare for the long-term siege of Jixi Town by the infected.
preparation.
At the same time, this team needs to make many props for defense, such as a large number of cocktails.
There is a gas station in Jixi Town that is larger than the Gospel Community, and there should be enough fuel in it.
Making cocktails does not just require fuel. To make cocktails have strong adhesion, sugar is an essential raw material. Fortunately, all kinds of sugars are hot-selling products and are an essential category in supermarkets.
At this time, Iger told everyone that there is a supermarket warehouse downstairs, and all the spare supplies in the supermarket are now piled there.
It's uncertain how much material is in the warehouse, but for now, Walton Morgan, the owner of the Morgan Building, is stuck in the warehouse and won't open the door.
When Egger said this, everyone was in an uproar. Only then did everyone know that there was a survivor in Jixi Town, and it was Mr. Morgan, the owner of this building.
Mr. Morgan is a well-known person in this area. At least everyone here has heard of his name.
Later, Iger told everyone about the current failed negotiations with Walton.
Immediately afterwards, Iger made a suggestion.
At the meeting, Iger suggested that everyone find a way to get old Morgan to open the door and surrender. If the agreement has not been reached after three days, force should be used to break down the door and force Walton to "negotiate."
There is a saying: If you don't fight the enemy, he will fall on his own. There are some things that cannot be solved by treating him to a meal.
As a result, as soon as Iger finished speaking, Elvira clearly stood up and opposed Iger's proposal.
Iger was confused after hearing this. He explained in detail to Avella, saying that he did not intend to harm Walton's life, but just "asked" him to come out.
Avella shook her head, and she said very seriously to Iger: "Private property is sacred and inviolable."
This was the third time Iger heard someone say to him that "private property is sacrosanct", and he showed a black question mark face.
Father Locke saw Egger's confused look, and he preached to Egger: "Children, all people are born equal, and they are all the beloved sons of Heavenly Father.
We cannot force Mr. Morgan to hand over his property just because he is unwilling to hand it over. We are brothers and sisters, and we should love each other rather than resort to violence.
Mr. Morgan is free to make any choice."
Egger touched his forehead, feeling a little tired.
After Iger sighed, he said to everyone: "I know everything you said. But now is an extraordinary period, very special. We need this batch of supplies to tide over the current difficulties."
Lily interrupted and said to Iger: "There are no special circumstances in which you can misappropriate other people's property at will."
Egger gave Lily an undeniable smile and said, "Everything we enjoy now belongs to old Morgan. I see you didn't feel embarrassed when you were choosing things for yourself."
When Egger said this, Lily and Avella's expressions changed.
Unexpectedly, Erica suddenly said at this time: "During the negotiation with Andy, Mr. Morgan gave up all ownership of the buildings on the ground."
Have it?
Iger thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that Morgan did say that he didn't want anything on the ground anymore, so he would just guard the warehouse.
After hearing Erica's words, Avila and Lily's chests puffed up again.
"Property should not be infringed upon by others. This is the most basic human right." Avella said sternly to Egger.
Damn human rights. Where can human rights come from when all the people are gone?
Iger's mind has been confused by the words "freedom and human rights". Everyone is about to die. You are still talking to me about human rights. Are you mistaken?
Shouldn't we work together to tide over the difficulties now? You're going to bullshit me at this critical moment!
What Iger doesn’t know is that Avella’s emphasis on these “inviolable human rights” is actually to protect herself.
As perhaps the weakest and helpless being in the team, all Avila can rely on is the old order system. Once the old order system is ruthlessly broken and smashed, she will be unable to protect herself.
Now Elvira protects the order from infringement for Walton Morgan, and only in the future will others protect the order from infringement for Avella.
This is the same as what Iger said to Vance at that time.
As for Lily, she simply believed that this statement was correct.
Egger felt that the direction of the conversation had been taken into a trap. It was obviously about material issues, but why did I get involved in ideology? He lost some patience.
Egg impatiently tapped the table with his fingers and said: "If we don't get the supplies from the warehouse, we won't get supplies. If we don't get supplies, let alone whether the infected will attack here, we won't be able to survive this winter.
.We don’t have much food.”
Lily said without thinking: "There are still a lot of cans at the villa outpost, enough for us to eat for two or three months."
"boom!"
Iger slapped the table hard and shouted loudly: "No one is allowed to touch the cans there!"
At this moment, Iger felt that the blood vessels in his head were about to jump out. He suppressed his anger and said: "The cans there are our life-saving food. In case we cannot hold Jixi Town and need to retreat to the Gospel Community,
These cans are our only food rations."
"Obviously we still have plenty of food, so why do we have to seize Mr. Morgan's assets? Now the poor old man is hiding in a small warehouse because of great fear. You actually want to use force to seize his last shelter.
Land." Lily said angrily, "You are using fear to intimidate and coerce us."
Originally, Avila was enough, but when Lily was added to the mix, affected by her life experiences, Lily was really left-wing, white and innocent. Her words directly made Egger's mentality unbearable and exploded.
.
"Fart! What a poor old man!" Iger cursed angrily: "That old guy is just a greedy bastard who possesses far more supplies than he needs.
However, this time his capital is not money, but a warehouse full of goods.
What he wants to earn is a higher status.
He wanted to exchange the goods in the warehouse for loyal guards, hard-working servants and a superior noble status.
These shameless bastards, what they always care about is not the life and death of other "lowly" people, but whether they can maintain their high status.
You actually speak for them, where are you from?!"
Egger was so angry that he lost his mind. He didn't care about civility and started yelling at the two ladies.
"I think you are the one who is greedy and embezzles beyond measure!" Avella shot back at Iger, "Why do you have to keep using your evil thoughts on illegal embezzlement?"
When Iger heard Avella calling him "evil", everyone laughed angrily. But don't forget that it was Iger who risked his life to rescue Avella from the rampaging Vance at Avella's home.
of.
"Quiet, everyone, listen to me first." Father Locke said, "Elvira's proposal is very correct. We cannot use force to coerce Mr. Morgan. What Iger said is also correct. The cans in the villa cannot be used now."
Father Locke came out to reconcile, but the reconciliation was not achieved, because his reconciliation was originally a rejection of Egger's proposal.
Iger originally thought that he was just "discussing" with two female white men. As a result, he found that he was not fighting one against two, but everyone was against him.
Father Locke's words gave him the biggest blow.
Finally, Iger's anger reached the extreme. He slammed the table, pushed away the chair and left.
Damn idiots, too lazy to argue with you!
Iger finally understood the reason for the "entry theory". If you want to reason with these guys, it is simply an endless cycle.
