Chapter 237, critical moment

Iger decided to go with the easy ones first and then the harder ones, and Fran was pulled out like a dead dog.

As soon as the effects of yesterday's medicine wore off, Fran felt doubly painful. He always had to pay back when he came out to fool around.

Today, Fran, the tool man, originally wanted to lie down all day, but Egger forcibly pulled him up from the bed in the field hospital.

"Fran, where is Team ABCD?" Egger asked Fran.

Fran endured the dizziness and headache and raised his hand to point out the location for Egger.

When Iger took a look, oh, it was quite easy to identify. Sure enough, it was at the four corners of the I-shape outside the shopping mall.

Although these buildings are not conjoined, they are all neat three-story buildings.

This is not good news.

The higher the floor, the greater the space for escape and maneuvering in the event of an emergency. Egger's heart sank.



Erica was looking down from the restaurant on the eighth floor. She saw three teams pulling away the infected group. Then two pickup trucks and a fire truck drove into the square, and a dozen people jumped out of the truck.

Erica carefully identified the armed men, and found that she didn't recognize any of them except Egg.

Since being trapped yesterday, everyone has looted the rooftop restaurant.

This high-end restaurant only uses fresh ingredients, and obviously these ingredients are no longer fresh. However, we found a lot of canned butter and jam used as seasonings.

The water supply upstairs has been out for a long time. Everyone found some drinks in stock, which can barely cope with it for a while.

After a night of rest, everyone's mood has stabilized a lot now, but the situation is still not good.

First of all, including Erica herself, almost everyone was injured. There were 9 people in the team members infected by the new blood epidemic, and one of the female team members was in very bad condition.

After Erica led the team to drag out several team members who were overwhelmed by the infected people from the pile of corpses, among these team members, this female team member was in the worst condition. Her close-fitting fitness clothes were torn into pieces by the infected people.

Two pieces were taken out, and the exposed body was covered with dense bite wounds.

In the restaurant, everyone used the only water they brought with them to clean her wound to prevent her from getting more infections. But since last night, the female team member has been having a fever, and she has gradually become unconscious.

Already.

Erica fed her several sedatives and made her fall asleep.

Many team members have always believed that the gospel team has a special medicine that can cure the blood epidemic. The board of directors has refuted the rumors many times, but everyone still believes that there is.

Today, the cruel truth may disappoint them.

Looking at the female team member who was still making a whooshing sound in her throat while she was asleep, Erica knew that her time was running out.

After handing her over to the care of other team members, Erica walked to the huge glass window. Downstairs were thousands of infected people that made people's scalp numb just by looking at them.

Looking at the densely packed infected below, Erica felt a little desperate. Her team couldn't last that long.

Unexpectedly, Iger didn't even think of fighting. He directly sent a car to pull away all the infected people.

Erica stared intently at the rescue team downstairs. She didn't know what to say to Egger in case, if Egger could really break through the siege and get here.

Erica never thought that Bill would take the initiative to cut off the queen. In Erica's understanding, Bill was someone who would use the lives of his subordinates to pave the way for himself.

As a result, at the most critical moment, Bill and his men launched a counterattack toward the infected like crazy. Erica could only watch, and there was nothing she could do.

Once the fire door is lowered, it cannot be raised manually, and the entire floor is the same as above, so there is no need to block off only a small area.

In the end, Erica watched helplessly as Bill and the infected disappeared from her sight.

The rescuers began to clear the stronghold of Team A. As the commander, Erica naturally knew the locations of the four teams.

The idea of ​​establishing strongholds at the four corners of the I-shaped building complex is good, but it seems that it is not very effective now.

The four-corner stronghold can block a small number of incoming infected people, but the huge wave of infected people like yesterday is simply not something that only my team can contend with.

Sure enough, it's still too aggressive. We should expand the safety zone, at least clean up the adjacent streets, and then clean up the shopping malls and buildings.

This is what Nicholas suggested. He imitated Egger's ideas, but Erica and Bill rejected this suggestion, thinking it was too conservative.

Nicholas led the team in the stronghold downstairs. Egger commented that his growth potential was very high.

Thinking of this, Erica held back a sigh. She really didn't know how to face Egg.

At this time, a field team member came over, and he said to Erica: "Sir Erica, Ruona, she..."

Ruona's time has come.

"Okay, I understand." Erica turned to the field team member and said, "I will handle it myself."

"Ah, no." The field team member quickly said to Erica, "Ruona, she's awake."

When Erica heard this, she quickly walked over.

After a simple examination and questioning, the female team member who had been wandering around the ghost gate for several times really regained consciousness. She told Erica that her infection level had gradually dropped from 99% to only 91% now.

Erica stayed there, blinking in surprise and saying nothing.

Is this a coincidence, or can tranquilizers really cure blood plague?

Erica recalled that it seemed that the gospel team used tranquilizers to deal with the blood plague, and it had never failed.

I have to report this matter, maybe it is really a surprising discovery.



This row of houses was not built at the same time, so although it looks like a neat row, there are no shared stairs between them.

The first floor was a clothing store. All the clothes racks in the store were knocked to the ground, and the empty store was visible at a glance.

Egger led the team carefully up the stairs to the second floor, which was the most risky area.

The second floor was a fast food restaurant. After Iger gently opened the door, he raised his MP5 and aimed it at the infected person who was waiting in the store.

"Chug tug tug."

With several consecutive precise bursts of fire, Egger killed all the infected people.

The fast food restaurant is not large, and the lobby and kitchen area can be seen at a glance. Only the last space needs to be explored.

A field team member walked cautiously towards the toilet with a shotgun in hand.

The restrooms in fast food restaurants are very small. Apart from a small sink, there is only one toilet seat inside.

"Hey, is anyone there?" the field team member called to the closed toilet.

No movement.

He reached out and pushed, and the door was locked from the inside.

Infected people will not lock the door if there is someone inside or someone has been inside.

"Dong dong dong." The field team knocked on the door, and he shouted loudly: "Is there anyone there?" Then he listened for a while, but there was still no movement.

Egger has already finished searching the third floor and came down.

The third floor is a tastefully decorated cafe. The two wooden doors of the cafe are closed tightly. A shotgun is stuck on the handle on the inside of the wooden door. However, two large holes were knocked out in the middle of the wooden door. These were originally two holes.

The position of the frosted glass.

Egg got into the cafe through the big hole, and then he raised his gun and killed several infected people waiting in the cafe.

After a while, Egg found the remains of the field team member in the compartment.

Just by seeing these wreckage, Egger couldn't even tell whether it belonged to one person, two people, or three people.

Iger looked around. The cafe was surrounded by glass. There were rows of seats under the glass windows, and there were only a few small booths with a mysterious atmosphere in the middle.

The view here is very good, but there is no danger of defending against a surprise attack by the infected.

Egg returned to the second floor and saw the field team member still guarding the toilet door, so he asked: "What's going on?"

"The door is locked from the inside," the field team member said.

"Dong dong dong." Iger raised his hand and punched the door several times with his fist, but the door didn't move at all.

"Break the goal." Egg said to the field team.

After the male field team member heard Egger's words, he put away his shotgun and took two steps back, then rushed forward and kicked it against the wooden door.

"Ouch."

The field team members let out a scream.

Before Iger could ask any questions, the field team member said with a grimace: "My foot is sprained."

"..."

I asked you to break down the door with a gun, but you kicked it with your feet.

Kicking down a door is a technical job, and Iger thought he was an expert when he saw him jumping on it.

As a result, he didn't understand anything.

"Stand back and give me the gun." Egg said to the unfortunate guy.

Just as Egger raised his shotgun and was about to fire at the door's loose leaf, the wooden door opened a crack with a creak.

Egger instantly raised his gun and took aim, then gently tapped the door with his left foot and pushed it open.

There was someone sitting on the toilet inside the door, a man, a man Iger knew.

"Randy." When Egg saw it was Randy, he put away the gun in his hand.

"I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it, I really didn't mean it." As soon as Randy saw Egger, he dropped the steel spear in his hand and stammered.

"I'm here to save you. You're safe." Egg said to Randy.

Randy didn't dare to come out. He said with a cry: "Captain, I really didn't mean it, I swear!"

Egger glanced backwards, and the field team member took two steps forward and pulled Randy out of the toilet.

It seems that Randy's mind seems to be in a semi-collapse state, and his consciousness is not very clear.

After returning to the fire truck downstairs to rest for a while, Randy's mind seemed to have recovered a lot.

Then, as soon as Iger asked a few questions, Randy stammered and told the whole story.

That day, everyone was originally stationed on the third floor, but a scream sounded out, and all three members of Team A were hit. When they staggered downstairs, infected people swarmed in from all directions and almost filled the entire block.

What's worse is that the infected have blocked all roads, and their plan to break into the car failed.

Countless infected people were just a few meters behind and were attacking them with claws and teeth. The three of them had no choice but to flee upstairs. When they reached the second floor, Randy turned around and rushed into the fast food restaurant.

When they were stationed in this small building, Team A had just raided the place, and Randy knew there was a toilet here.

Due to the limited space, the toilets of fast food restaurants must be very soundproof and sealed, otherwise as soon as someone gets in, the customers who are dining next to them will run away.

In order to enhance the sound insulation effect, the wooden doors of the toilet are usually very thick, so the toilet of a fast food restaurant is a good place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The weapon configuration of Team A is a steel knife, a steel spear, and a shotgun. This is also the standard team configuration of the joint field team.

After Randy rushed into the toilet, he first locked the toilet door, then inserted the steel spear in his hand diagonally from top to bottom in front of the door, then sat on the toilet, raised his feet and kicked the spear hard, using

It holds the toilet door shut.

At this moment, there was a violent knocking outside the door, and after a while, bursts of gunfire came from upstairs.

After a while, the messy gunfire disappeared. Attracted by the sound, the knocking outside the door weakened a lot, but it still kept ringing.

Randy bit his clothes. He sat on the toilet with his back against the water tank and pushed the steel spear with all his strength.

I don't know how long it took, but the infected person seemed to be tired of knocking, and the knocking outside the door disappeared. Only then did Randy dare to gently put down his already sore feet. His lower back was also swollen and painful.

What should I do? I am trapped in the toilet.

At this moment, Randy heard the sound of gunshots in the distance, followed by Egger's shout. This shout ignited the hope in his heart.

Just now, when Randy heard a knock on the door and was about to move the steel spear, he suddenly remembered the first catch-all that Egger had set for the reclamation team: Do not betray your companions.

Randy is the captain of Team A. He left his two companions and escaped alone.

Although the toilet is not big, it can't accommodate three people.

But at that time, Randy's mind went blank, and he subconsciously left the two team members and ran in alone.

When Randy talked about this, he was crying and begging. He really didn't mean it.

After listening to Randy's story, Iger was silent for a while, and then he said to Randy who was lying on the ground: "Return to the team immediately. After returning to the base camp, I will sue you for dereliction of duty."

Looking at Randy, Iger had a complicated mood. He suddenly thought of Father Locke's words: "No one's life is more precious than anyone else's, including our own."
