In an awkward atmosphere, Iger and Joanna greeted each other, and not long after, Vance and Father Locke also woke up.
Joanna turned on the gas stove and fried the only bacon and eggs together. Then Egger dug out a can of classic bean soup from his backpack. Everyone had a hearty breakfast with high morale.
After breakfast, the four of them came to Joanna's bedroom. Following the direction of Joanna's finger, they saw the white two-story house at the corner of the street.
"Damn it! That house is next to the police station." After seeing the location of the house clearly, Vance couldn't help but cursed.
Although the front of the police station is on the other side of the street corner, it is certain that almost the entire community's infected people have gathered there.
Many things have scale effects, and infected people gathering together are no exception.
When a survivor faces 10 infected people, he can use the complex terrain to circle around the infected people, and even take the opportunity to fight back. At worst, the survivor will just run away, and there is a high probability that he will be able to escape.
But when 10 survivors face 100 infected people, the infected people will make any efforts of the survivors end in failure, because each survivor does not face 10 infected people assigned to each person, but
100 infected people, no matter whether you circle, fight back or escape, the difficulty is increased by 10 times.
Now there is a huge group of infected people gathered in front of the police station. Even if you use yesterday's safer method of attracting monsters to kill enemies, if the group of monsters is too dense, if you are not careful, you will attract a large number of people.
Finally the group was destroyed.
A cloud of sadness enveloped the four of them.
According to Egger's original plan, the bones of the police station were left to be chewed last. First, collect nearby resources, eliminate scattered monsters along the way, accumulate small wins and big wins, and kill a few infected people every day. In less than a month,
The entire community can be wiped out of infected people.
But the problem now is that the location of the last known survivor is right next to the police station. The survivor is well hidden and has not been discovered by the infected yet. However, the survivor is at a very high risk and may be discovered by the infected at any time.
Then he broke in and ate him.
"There is no way to save it." Vance sighed and said, "This is beyond our capabilities."
Father Locke also nodded. Life is equally precious. He does not advocate exchanging one's own life for the lives of others, let alone dying in vain.
At this time, Egger opened his bullet bag, inserted his fingers and pulled out the bullets.
"Father." Egg raised his head and asked Father Locke: "Are the bullets in my gun special bullets, or bullets that are easier to collect?"
Seeing Egg ask such a layman's question, it seems that he really doesn't understand guns.
Father Locke said to Egger: ".22 bullets may be the most abundant bullets in the world. In the past, several children took turns playing with a gun and could shoot hundreds of them a day."
So many? Now Iger felt confident.
Since bullets can be replenished, using some now can be regarded as an early investment.
"I want to try using a gun to eliminate some infected people from a distance." Egg said to the three of them. After speaking, he picked up a pillow from the bed. Well, this pillow seemed too fragrant and not too full.
"Joanna, do you have any other pillows at home? The fluffier the better." Egger said to Joanna.
When Egger said this, the three of them all understood. It turned out that he wanted to use the pillow as a muffler.
Although this is not a fantasy, pillows can indeed eliminate part of the sonic boom from the muzzle, but the effect is very limited.
But then again, the sound of .22 bullets is very small to begin with, and if the room is soundproofed, it might actually be effective.
When Joanna brought a snow-white pillow, after a long time of gesturing with Vance's help, Iger decided to try it now.
It just so happened that there were two sleepwalking infected people downstairs.
"Joanna, Uncle Vance, help me pull the pillow as tight as possible." Iger put the pillow on the muzzle of the gun, and then Joanna and Vance pulled the pillow hard from the left and right sides to make the muzzle of the gun tight.
Pasted into the pillow.
Standing one meter away from the window of the house, Egger aimed his gun outward through the gap in the curtains. Maybe it was because his posture was a bit awkward, or because the muzzle of the gun was blocked by a pillow. In short, Egger's sight was very accurate, but
Under the strong fixation of three people, the accuracy is very stable.
Egger placed the crosshair on the head of the slowly moving infected person and slowly moved forward along with him. When the crosshair and the infected person moved completely in sync, Egger took a deep breath.

Egg pulled the trigger, and the gunshot was short and dull. The infected person who was walking tilted his head, and then fell to the ground. The other infected person turned towards him after hearing the sound, still with a
Silly look.
"It works!" Iger said excitedly, "Come on, try again in another place."
After Vance and Joanna avoided the holes that had just been shot through the pillow, they pressed the pillow against the muzzle of the gun again.
"piu."
There was another dull gunshot, and the second infected person fell to the ground.
Although this seems easy, Vance on the side knows that it is not simple.
The pillow not only blocked the muzzle of the gun, but also blocked the aim. Egger held the gun in a blind firing state, relying on his own feeling to hit two shots from a distance of more than 20 meters, and both of them accurately hit the infected person.
's head.
What a pity. If I could have met this child half a year earlier, no, one month earlier, I wouldn't be like this now.
Vance sighed secretly, but he also knew that if it had been a month ago, he would never have observed and appreciated a person, even if he was still a child.
"This method works." After Iger put down the gun, he said to Vance who also put down the pillow, "I still have more than thirty bullets here. Under the most perfect situation, I can kill about thirty infected people.
.”
Maybe this kid overestimates himself, but it is undeniable that although the current shortage is bullets, sharpshooters with execution ability are the most important key.
Just search from house to house, .22 bullets are very easy to find. Most people buy a large box (500 rounds). As long as a large box of bullets is found, it is enough for the gunman to clear out the infected people in the entire community.
Egger is the most suitable gunner in the current team to implement this tactic. Although Vance is also good at shooting, he can still hit the infected in the case of blind shooting, but if he needs to hit the head with his gun, it will be difficult.
It depends very much on luck.
After suffering the loss of darkness last night, and taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, Egg suggested that everyone start taking action as soon as possible, and at the same time asked Joanna for her opinion, whether to stay in the room and wait for them to withdraw, or to take action together.
Joanna looked very determined and asked to go together. She had even packed her backpack.
Joanna originally had a lot of food left, but based on the principle that it is easier to eat than to carry, the four of them (three men) had their first full meal in the past few days with open stomachs.
As a result, only an unopened bottle of pickles remained from the table full of various foods.
After the last quick tidying up, Vance generously put some small but necessary things into his large backpack. The four of them put on their backpacks in the living room. After sorting some more, they set out to rescue the last survivor.
