On the road, a black off-road vehicle had its wipers turned on to full speed and was frantically blowing rainwater off the windshield. Although its vision was blurred due to the heavy rain, its speed did not slow down at all.
Fran was driving a black off-road vehicle quickly towards Jixi Town.
Today Fran is patrolling for the first time. He has a travel guide to the waterfall scenic area in his hand, and there happens to be a map on the back.
Fran drew a circle on the map with a pen. It was a circle with a radius of about 15 kilometers. This was the first-level core security zone he had drawn in Jixi Town.
On his first patrol today, Fran discovered a group of infected people in the safe zone with about a hundred people.
The group of infected people was staggering along the highway towards the direction of Jixi Town. When Fran drove to contact them carefully, he deliberately sounded the horn several times. As a result, Fran heard a screamer's cry.
After discovering this group of infected people, Fran immediately stopped the car. He originally wanted to return to Jixi Town immediately, but at this moment Fran's mind suddenly changed, and he decided to stop the other roads in this circle.
Take a look around.
As a result, Fran discovered three groups of infected people with a total of about 100 people, walking towards Jixi Town on three roads.
Those infected people who went out together in Jixi Town at the beginning have returned.
After seeing a larger group of infected people, Fran's psychological threshold has improved a lot, but this time it is a three-pronged attack. There is still one biggest problem at present. The field team is outside and they must be notified to come back as soon as possible.
No, Fran remembered that he was also one of the field teams, and he was also the captain of the third detachment.
We can't leave everything to Egger. Don't you think it's shameful for a group of adults to rely on a child to protect themselves all day long?
While driving the car fast, Fran was thinking quickly in his mind. There are many good helpers in Jixi Town. Vance, Erica, and Andy, they can immediately expand the third team to contain and stop the infection.
group of people.
The sky was gloomy and dark, and the heavy rain kept falling. After a while, it turned into a blizzard. The road was wet and slippery, and the heavy snow caused extremely low visibility. Fran had no choice but to slow down the car and wait until he returned to Jixi.
When we arrived, it was already completely white everywhere.
After the rain, the construction work in Jixi Town was stopped, and now everyone gathered in the Morgan Building.
After Fran reached the second floor, he looked around, anxiously looking for someone in the crowd.
"My dear, you missed dinner." Avila came over and said to Fran, "Do you want me to prepare dinner for you?"
Fran asked Avella in an anxious and rude tone: "Where are Father Locke and Vance?"
After thinking for a while, Avella said: "It should be in the office on the fourth floor." Avella looked at Fran, who was a little anxious, and asked distressedly: "My dear, can I fry a butter bread for you?"
Fran ignored Avella, turned around and left. Now Fran was not in the mood to eat at all.
In the manager's office on the fourth floor, Father Locke, Sister Maria, Vance, Andy, and Dr. Heidemi are having a meeting together.
Andy had a production accident today. When he was building a wall of cars, when four cars were stacked on top of each other, a tire of the bottom car was burst, and the unlucky guy was blown away several meters by the high-pressure airflow.
When he landed, he was already unconscious.
Fortunately, after Dr. Heidemi's first aid, the man regained consciousness. He reported that he had multiple fractures all over his body and his internal organs were slightly damaged. According to Dr. Heidemi's judgment, his life was saved, but he would have to lie down for at least several months.
.
For such injuries on the job, the gospel team must do its best to treat them. This is not only a humanitarian issue, but also shows the gospel team's ability to cover up, so as to relieve the members of their worries.
The only happy thing today is that the fire station finally got power, and with Clyde's help, Vance's workshop restarted work.
The fire station has a large pile of cut steel plates, and now Vance needs to use a machine tool to reprocess them so that they can be easily fixed.
Everyone was discussing the redistribution of work, and Andy proposed installing closed-circuit cameras in the Morgan Building.
There are enough cameras and network cables in the digital store. The host computer can be used as the office computer owned by Mr. Morgan. His computer has high configuration and can be used as a server.
Moreover, there is no shortage of electronic products. As long as you search patiently from house to house, there are plenty of tablets, TVs, computers, and laptops. What is most lacking now is the electricity for the operation of electronic products, and Jixi Town happens to have this condition.
At this time, Fran pushed open the door of the conference room.
Fran interrupted everyone's conversation and said bluntly: "The latest situation, big trouble. There are three clusters of infected people heading towards Jixi Town, and the closest one to us is less than 10 kilometers away."
When Fran said this, Andy stood up immediately.
"How is it possible!" Andy said with a face full of surprise: "When did the infected get so close to us!"
As soon as Andy said this, everyone had already figured out what was going on.
Ever since Iger was stripped of his director qualifications, he has stopped taking care of internal affairs. This has resulted in the gospel team occupying Jixi Town for almost a week, and the patrol mechanism that should have been established long ago has not been in operation.
This may be due to problems with the connection between work, but more often than not, it is due to the paralysis and carelessness of everyone.
Because the internal staff of the gospel team have not had contact or combat with infected people for a long time, everyone is surrounded by an illusory sense of security, and may even think that "the world is at peace."
Although every time Iger comes back, he will bring the latest intelligence and news about infected people, but people are very brave. Once they are frightened, then they are surprised twice, and three or four times, everyone gets used to it, and mentions Egger every time.
Patrolling the security zone on the border is something that sounds important but has no motivation to do it.
If it weren't for the fact that Egger couldn't bear it today, formed a patrol team in the name of the field team, and sent Fran, maybe everyone would still be immersed in "how could something happen?"
It is said that one is born in sorrow and dies in happiness. This saying is very relevant nowadays.
This cannot be blamed too much on the internal staff of the gospel team for their understanding problems. After all, humans are inert, and humans are subject to the "survivor bias".
The reason for the survivor bias is that the only way people can obtain information is from survivors. After all, all the unlucky ones are dead and have no way to speak.
Therefore, what people see are the results that have gone through some kind of screening. Many people don't even realize how they passed the screening, so their subjective experience is worthless.
Simply put, in terms of daily life, people die in traffic accidents and work safety accidents every day, every year, every month, but there are still countless people who continue to ignore safety regulations and go their own way.
After Fran finished his report, everyone was silent.
Jixi Town is facing enemies from three sides and must organize personnel to defend or fight. This matter cannot be discussed by the decision-making group. Father Locke immediately decided to convene a general meeting to discuss a plan to fight against the infected group.
After dinner, it was a pleasant leisure time. Everyone was gathering on the second floor to play independently. At this time, they were suddenly called to the conference room, and Father Locke announced the convening of the general meeting.
Everyone who was having fun thought that the meeting was to report on today's production accident. Before the meeting started, everyone was still playing and joking in a relaxed manner.
As a result, at the beginning of the meeting, Andy revealed news that shocked everyone: Jixi Town was facing a three-pronged attack by infected people.
