The pickup truck drove toward Rama City along the Rama City Highway.
In the car, Ige asked everyone a very low-level question under the cover of his identity as a child. He asked: "Is Jixi Town under the jurisdiction of Rama City or Putuo City?"
Municipal jurisdiction?”
Even though the level of this question was low enough, it really made it difficult for the other two people present. Fortunately, one of the people traveling with him had Nicholas, who had a higher education, so Nicholas patiently explained to Egger: "Jixi Town is the home of Return.
Puduo County Management.”
County? What the hell?
After hearing Nicholas' explanation, Egg became even more confused.
It was such a simple question. After Nicholas finished speaking, he naturally thought that Iger understood it, so he stopped talking.
After hearing what he said, Egger immediately realized that it touched a black hole of knowledge in him, so he knew it was interesting and didn't ask any more questions.
(America city and town have a parallel relationship. In order to prevent others from talking about the word "water", although I do often use the word "water", I will not write about this aspect. Interested readers can learn about it on their own. It is related to the plot but not relevant.)
Going in this direction of Jixi Town is also a plain. After reaching the plain area, the road network is much more developed than a single road in the mountainous area.
Today, Iger sat in the co-pilot and Joanna drove the vehicle. He held his mobile phone as the navigator. It felt like Dakar.
Charging your mobile phone is very convenient. You can charge it directly with a converter in a pickup truck, so you don’t have to worry about power consumption at all.
After advancing a few kilometers, Egg saw a farm with multiple barns in the distance. He remembered that this might be the bankrupt farm Andy mentioned, so he motioned to Joanna to drive over.
America's farms are not farmers as people in the Central Plains recognize them. To be precise, they are companies that mainly engage in agricultural planting.
The farm went bankrupt, but that didn't mean the farmers had moved away. No, after the pickup truck drove into the farm, Egger had already seen a red Ford pickup truck parked next to the farmhouse.
This car doesn't look as new as Vance's baby car, but it's much better than the one the team is using now, and it should be a new model with automatic transmission.
This kind of Ford pickup truck was very popular in the Central Plains for a while. Some people thought it would be more honorable to buy a pickup truck as big as a tank and drive it.
In fact, this car has the same status as the Central Plains Sacred Car in America, that is, it is just a tool cart.
The body of a Ford pickup truck is so big and the displacement is so high. It is not just for burning oil. After all, burning oil means burning money. The owner of this truck has not yet reached the point where he has trouble with money.
Except for a few camping enthusiasts who like to use this pickup truck to tow their RVs and yachts around, most car owners use this truck to do rough work.
Therefore, if you want to find a car, you must go to a densely populated area like a small town, but if you want to find a car that can haul goods, you have to go to a farmer like this.
In the previous field work, Egger also saw pickup trucks scattered, but the team did not lack vehicles at that time and did not have this need.
As soon as the pickup truck stopped, Iger jumped out of the car. He walked to the red pickup truck in a few steps and reached out to pull the door. Unexpectedly, it opened suddenly.
But when Iger put his head in and took a look, he found no car key.
Egger was not in a hurry. He turned around and made a sign to get out of the car at the team members, and then climbed into the carriage.
When everyone gathered around, Iger handed everyone weapons. Except for Joanna who still used a shotgun, the other three all took an MP5.
Since the gospel team suddenly received a large number of firearms, Egg felt that it was a bit troublesome to use an MP5 for three people, so he was going to apply to Sister Maria for another MP5.
In fact, if you want to practice shooting, the AR-7 is the most suitable gun. Unfortunately, after Iger left it at the camp, it was packed away with him that day.
When I heard that Iger wanted to apply for MP5, Sister Maria offered to allocate two of them to Iger.
What?
Does the team have so many guns now?
After Iger asked a few more questions, I found out that the members who participated in the Annihilation War collectively reported that MP5 was not easy to use and everyone disliked it.
Although the maneuverability, recoil, and accuracy of this gun are not outstanding, its power is too small.
Just as Egger estimated before, on average each infected person needs to eat seven or eight rounds of bullets before falling to the ground. Calculated, if one magazine is empty, it will not kill three or five infected people.
In contrast, the M16 is much more popular. A three-shot burst can bring down an infected person, and a magazine can kill nearly 10 people.
Unexpectedly, the MP5 was actually disliked, so Iger took advantage of the situation and applied for two. Later, Iger asked Sister Maria if she had any extra spare magazines, and Sister Maria said she had not found any.
Egger estimated that the spare magazines were all on the heavily loaded infected, and were destroyed by the cocktail fire along with the equipment.
what a pity.
Finally, Iger applied to equip Nicholas and Thomas with pistols. After getting along with each other for the past few days, Iger felt that these two guys would not be able to use their own guns, so he decided to equip them with pistols.
After Penny died in the field mission, now all field team members should be able to understand the true function of the pistol.
After all, the pistol is not used to deal with the infected, but to give yourself a break at the last moment.
Looking at Thomas posing in various poses with a Glock, Egg thought of Phoebe.
"I am your close friend, Dr. Phoebe."
Phoebe's self-introduction was still fresh in Egg's memory, but she didn't expect that she would actually run away with Alison. Is Alison's charm really greater than hers?
Iger scratched his hair. Well, don’t deceive yourself. Alison is indeed more charming than himself. Anyone who is not blind can see it.
It's such a pity that Phoebe left. Among the new field team members, Egger recognized Phoebe the most, followed by Nicholas. As for Thomas, Egger just had a mentality of collecting rags.
Due to the collective defection of the "Love Supreme" team, a lot of important information is not known to everyone. For example, the real instigator and organizer of the defection is Phoebe, who has no sense of existence in the eyes of everyone.
Phoebe is a very well-planned person. Before she joined the gospel team, she had already had the idea of taking her team to the paradise of her dreams. However, in the love and family team, everyone had to worry about everything.
There are many opportunities to run away, but there is no material support.
When Phoebe learned from Alison that there was a large amount of supplies in Quick Creek Town, she immediately understood that the opportunity had come. However, before that, Phoebe needed to evaluate the pursuit ability of the gospel team, so she took the initiative to join
Field team.
Later, Phoebe was stunned by Egg's fighting prowess, and she came to the conclusion that as long as Egg was at home, defecting would not be feasible.
What surprised Phoebe was that after Egg reorganized the field team, he actually let her go.
Then Egger led the team on the mission. Due to heavy snowfall and a God-given opportunity, Father Locke arranged a secret mission for Alison.
So many coveted conditions have actually come together. If you don’t draw your sword now, when will you wait?
So that night, Alison first asked the team members to load the truck with Father Locke's secret order. After the loading was completed, she revealed her plan to defection.
At this time, the uncooked rice has become cooked rice. Whether to leave or not is just a matter of thought. Phoebe, the psychiatrist, convinced the wavering members with just one sentence.
"Do you want to be the second Penny?"
To be fair, Vance did not harm Penny subjectively. He even held a small meeting before taking action, and the action plan was approved by all team members. This was acknowledged by both Ella and Jon who survived.
But this does not change the fact that Penny died, nor does it lessen the psychological impact of Penny's death on all members.
As a result, Phoebe successfully pulled the team away, and the next day, unsuspecting members discovered that the "Love Supreme" team had defected, and put all the blame on Alison.
After Iger distributed the firearms, according to the previous division of labor, Nicholas and Thomas were on guard in the yard, while Iger and Joanna entered the house.
After a quick inspection, the farmhouse was empty. Then Egger and Joanna checked the farm machinery shed and barn to confirm safety.
Next, the four of them patiently rummaged through the farmhouse, and sure enough, they found a car key in the master bedroom.
Most people who work hard are not accustomed to carrying car keys with them, except for Vance, so Iger is almost certain that the key to the pickup truck can be found in the farmhouse.
After getting the car key and connecting the two wires, Nicholas got into the pickup truck and turned the key to start the car.
