In the afternoon, the members of the second and third teams who were affected by the blood plague gradually woke up from their slumbers. Most of them were fine and later regained their ability to move. Only Vance, who was severely exhausted, was still lying in bed.
After Father Locke finished handling some matters, he came to Vance's isolation room and saw Vance staring out the window, his eyes in trance.
"Hey, old man, what are you thinking about?" Father Locke asked Vance.
Vance turned his head and glanced at Father Locke, then fell silent.
"This accident has nothing to do with you." Father Locke said to Vance.
Just now, Father Locke has learned in detail from the other two members of the second team why the second team suffered combat attrition today.
That's what it's like when you're in the field. You're faced with a life-and-death test at any time. Iger is right about one thing, field missions are accomplished by field personnel with their lives.
There are no peaceful years in this world. The peace and joy that everyone lived in the past was only because the field team members resisted all risks themselves.
Every field worker is a hero. It would be extremely unfair to blame the captain because the mission is frustrated.
Hearing Father Locke's comfort, Vance shook his head, turned his head and said something unexpected to Father Locke.
Vance said to Father Locke: "Locke, how much has your physical condition dropped?"
This question is extremely private, but facing Vance, Father Locke did not hide it. He said to Vance: "To tell you the truth, my physical fitness has dropped by 2 points."
Vance nodded and said to Father Locke: "Locke, I'm a little worse than you. Since the outbreak of the blood plague, my physical fitness has dropped by 3 points."
Vance's physical constitution was originally 9 points, which can be said to be extremely strong, but the hard life that followed caused his physical constitution to decline rapidly.
Although Vance's current physique is still at 6 points, which is similar to that of an ordinary adult man, or even slightly stronger, the aging trend is already very obvious.
"We are all old, Locke." Vance said to Father Locke: "You know, when I couldn't run today, I thought, anyway, they will die. Fill the bullets, turn around and kill five first, and then
Keep the last bullet for yourself. I would rather die by a gun than be bitten to death."
Then Vance drew his revolver and handed it to Father Locke.
After Father Locke took Vance's pistol, he understood what Vance meant. He pushed open the magazine of the revolver and looked inside.
The magazine is empty.
"As a result, my hands were shaking so much that I couldn't even put a bullet in it, and they all fell to the ground." Vance said sadly to Father Locke: "Locke, we are all old."
Vance's second sentence is even more tragic than the first.
Father Locke did not speak. He returned the revolver to Vance and patted him on the shoulder.
Just as Father Locke was about to turn around and go out, Vance said to him: "Locke, what are you going to do with that little guy?"
Father Locke knew who Vance was talking about. He sighed first, then shook his head. He said to Vance: "He is still too young and needs time to grow."
The two old friends looked at each other and sighed in unison.
Father Locke said to Vance: "Have a good rest." After saying that, he walked to the door and prepared to leave.
Just as Father Locke opened the door, Vance called after him: "Hi, Locke!"
Father Locke stopped and turned to look at Vance.
Vance said seriously to Father Locke: "Just do what you have to do. We may have less time than we think."
Father Locke was silent, turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
…
After a hard day today, everyone was extremely tired. No one was interested in playing games after dinner, so they all went to bed early.
In the middle of the night, Alison got up secretly, and she got up secretly, along with five other members of the Love Supreme team except Penny, who unfortunately passed away.
"Now our task is to carry supplies to the bus." Alison said to her members, "Prioritize the guns and ammunition, and use the remaining space to hold food.
To load fuel into the pickup truck, first lay it with wooden boards and blankets, then roll the fuel barrels on top, and load as much as you can."
This is the secret mission given to Alison by Father Locke during the day.
Father Locke asked Alison to prepare an evacuation vehicle for the gospel team, but this must be done secretly because Father Locke was worried that once other members knew about his evacuation plan, they would give up resistance and only think about evacuating by car.
After receiving the secret order from Father Locke, Alison found the second boss. She told the second boss the secret order from Father Locke. She originally thought that the second boss would be shocked, but she turned out to be very calm.
The second leader of the Love Supreme team and the actual controller is actually Phoebe.
"I would be surprised if Locke didn't have such an arrangement." Phoebe said to Alison, "At any time, you must leave yourself a way out. This is what a wise man does."
"But, but, why." Alison asked Phoebe, "Why do you do this?"
"Why?" Phoebe spoke to Alison in a very gentle tone. She knew that Alison was not very smart and her brain was slow.
After Alison hesitated for a while, she said to Phoebe: "Why should we betray Father Locke? I think he is a good man. If we do this, it will make him sad."
"Baby, so that's what you're talking about." Phoebe said to Alison, "It's not your fault, you are too pure."
After organizing the vocabulary, Phoebe said to Alison: "Locke is a good person, but this is not the reason for us to continue to stay here."
"Is it because the gospel team has been unable to stop the infected this time?" Alison seemed a little sad.
Phoebe stared into Alison's beautiful eyes and said, "No, Alison, not this time.
Even if the gospel team can win this time, there will be a next time, and a next time.
There are endless infected people. Even if the gospel team defends 99 times, if it fails once, it will be destroyed.
Through these days of field work, I am thinking about how to survive this disaster.
Staying stuck in one place is the stupidest thing to do. We need to keep moving and reach a safe place before the infected catch up with us.
We will rest and resupply in a safe place, and then we will escape again as fast as possible before the infected group slowly surrounds us.
You know, we don’t belong here, and we don’t need it. Our home is every inch of the land.”
"Then, why do you have to leave today?" Alison said, "Today I saw Father Locke was still strong despite being exhausted. I was so sad that I wanted to cry."
Phoebe gently hugged the girl who was about to cry and said to her: "If we don't leave today, we won't be able to leave once Egg comes back."
"Igg?" Alison asked Phoebe, "Is that magical boy Igg? Is he as powerful as the rumors say?"
After Phoebe let go of Alison, she said to her seriously: "Egg is very powerful and extremely dangerous. Be careful of this child. He is very determined and has extremely extreme cognition. He is both a genius and a madman. He wants to
If you want to live longer, stay away from people like this."
After hearing Phoebe's words, Alison nodded. Phoebe's vision was very accurate. She has yet to say that she missed a thing.
With the cover of Father Locke's secret order, the Supreme Love team boldly moved the supplies in the warehouse. They were not afraid of being discovered anyway, so it didn't matter even if they were discovered.
Such a bold move was very efficient. Before long, the suitcases, seats, and aisles of the bus were all filled.
Under the leadership of Alison, the six members drove buses and pickup trucks and secretly left Jixi Town under the cover of night.
Father Locke gave Alison the last trump card to save his life, but Phoebe gave him the hardest stab in the back.
