Chapter 242, this is not the end (big deletion and revision)
After hearing the bad news that Vance told him, Iger's head felt a big buzz.
Everything was fine when I left the night before yesterday, how could that be possible?
With extreme shock, Egger was led by Vance, step by step from the Morgan Building Square to the cemetery area outside Quick Creek Town. Here, Egger saw a newly laid cross with the words "Locke Garrison" engraved on it.
West Asia and a "We all love you".
"We originally wanted to wait for you to come back." Vance said to Egg, "but the body decomposed so fast that we couldn't delay it. For the sake of Locke's final dignity, yesterday I decided to put him to death
Burial.
Since you are still carrying out the most important rescue mission, I think Locke must also agree to let me not inform you.
I'm sorry that I didn't allow you to attend the funeral."
Egg reached out and touched the cross. Everyone will die, either sooner or later, me or you.
The thing Iger regretted most was that he revealed his identity as a time traveler to Father Locke when they met. Later, Iger found out that because he was in a "panic" state of morale at the time, he was slightly pressured by Father Locke.
All told.
This small flaw caused a lot of unnecessary trouble for Iger. Iger even anxiously wondered whether Father Locke would reveal his true identity to others. In the end, he painstakingly crafted a lie that was self-consistent and logical, and then used
Joanna was patched up.
This old man also looks down on his own cultural level and demands that he study more every day. This is not to show off, my academic qualifications are much higher than yours, and my e-writing spelling is not even a fraction.
I know that you were the one behind the plan to arrange for me to lead the team in Ross Town.
The reason is probably that you are worried about a conflict between me and Andy. Although I most likely won’t be able to quarrel with Andy in a quarrel, you are worried that I will use force to get him off the court.
In fact, don't worry, if I really want to take down Andy, I don't need to use actual force at all. I just need to let others know that I have a tendency to use force.
In your words, it’s called “from a position of strength”. Based on his strength, Andy simply can’t beat me.
If you die, I think my conscience can also die with you.
I never did bad things before, just because I didn’t want you to look sad. Do you think I really want to be a Holy Mother?
Let me tell you secretly, there are only three people I care about. Vance is not afraid of me doing bad things, and Joanna doesn't care if I do bad things.
You see, I can do whatever I want now.
The gospel team was created with my life, and it must be mine.
There are some people on the board of directors who don't like me, but do you know that there is a saying that "power comes from the barrel of a gun."
I have dozens of people in the reclamation team, the field team and the security team of the gospel team are all my people, and I just dug them out from the dead. Now I just need to raise my arms, what can others do to fight me?
?
Do they still want to use the words of "justice" to expel me from the board of directors?
Even if I agree, the people under me will not agree.
Do you know that I, Li Dan, am no longer an unknown person? There are dozens of people who have traveled hundreds of kilometers, eagerly came to me, knelt down and begged me to be their boss.
If someone dares to slap me in the face, then he is slapping them in the face. Who dares? Does anyone dare?
…
Egger stood there, staring at the brand-new cross in a trance, and it took him a long time to wake up.
"I, I'm going to meet the three of them. Where are they?" Iger stopped thinking, he turned his head and said to Vance in a hoarse voice.
"Isolation room." Vance replied to Egg.
Only then did Iger realize that Vance was hunched over. He seemed to have aged ten years again.
"Uncle Vance." Iger said to Vance, "Don't be too tired. Don't worry about the next thing."
Egg walked quickly towards Jixi Town. Looking at his leaving figure, Vance thought of what he said to Father Locke on the hospital bed.
"Locke, we may have less time than we think."
When Vance said this, he only felt that his time was running out, but he did not expect that Locke's time was even less than his own.
Vance stood alone in the wind, then he shook his head and walked slowly towards Jixi Town.
…
Outside the isolation room, two security personnel with guns stood.
"I want to interrogate them." Egg said to the security personnel.
Such a shocking change has occurred, and everyone is looking forward to the return of Egger with his team.
That night, Lily, who was in a panic, wanted to send a broadcast to call Egg back, but Vance stopped her. Vance felt that rescuing the trapped field team members at this time was more important than asking him to rush back.
And more importantly, this matter cannot be said on the radio, not even a bit.
Lily, who was so sad, stopped broadcasting the next day, and resumed broadcasting this morning. Lily apologized to the audience, saying that she had a cold yesterday and felt uncomfortable, so she took a day off.
As soon as they heard Lily's hoarse voice, the audience all believed it.
The broadcast today was very strange. Lily didn't tell any news. She picked up the Bible and read some stories from the Bible for everyone.
Not only Lily, the entire Jixi Town has been in panic these past two days.
A few days ago, the elite members of the gospel team and the joint rescue team were all trapped in Puduo City, and their lives and deaths are still uncertain.
Late that night, the leader of the gospel team died suddenly, leaving the people with no backbone to rely on.
Some people even think that it is time for the evangelical team to perish.
Today, Iger led the rescue team successfully. The return of the large team of people finally diluted the gloom hanging over Jixi Town and brought light of hope to everyone. At this time, the security personnel were naturally not stupid enough to ask Iger if he had an order from the board of directors.
.
Entering the isolation building, the first person Egg interrogated was Robin.
"What's going on?" Egger didn't have any other unnecessary words. He just wanted to know what was going on, what the hell was going on!
Egger proposed to let Robin conduct crystal research because he was worried that the crystals and experimental products would be abused by others, so he specially formulated extremely strict regulations for the research and use of crystals.
He was wondering whether the regulations were being enforced, why the crystals were being abused, and how they took advantage of the loopholes.
Seeing Egg coming, Robin confessed everything timidly.
After Robin obtained the first batch of experimental crystals, she began to use the dilution method to prepare functional drinks.
Later, Robin experimentally used energy drinks on several wounded prisoners, and the effect was quite good.
But there is a problem, the current concentration seems to be too high.
Based on this feedback, Robin conducted a second experiment where she made further improvements.
On this day, Thomas found Robin and said that because of Catherine's pregnancy, his original mental anxiety disorder had become more serious. It was so severe that he couldn't sleep at night and was awake during the day.
Thomas found Dr. Hedme, but Dr. Hedme did not have antidepressant drugs.
Later, Dr. Hedme thought that Robin had a ready-made energy drink in his hand. She asked Thomas to get a bottle from Robin and serve as a test subject to feed back some experimental data to Robin.
After taking the energy drink, the effect was very good. Thomas's anxiety was relieved immediately, but he had another situation.
Because after being stimulated by crystals, humans will have a short-term feeling of unlimited physical energy.
Seeing Thomas's appearance, Robin took the initiative to try it.
That day was the first time for the two of them.
Then came the second, third, fourth time...
Every time the two of them sneak out after dark, find an empty room at random, and drink energy drinks together.
Robin was immersed in endless joy.
More and more crystals were consumed, and Robin became a little scared. So one day, Robin used the pretext of talking to Dr. Hedme and gave her a bottle of drugged drink. Then she and Thomas played with Dr. Hedme all night.
.
After that day, Dr. Heidemi became obsessed with it.
Dr. Hedme's husband is a cowardly old man. Although he noticed something was wrong with his wife, he quickly shut up under the threat of Thomas.
Thomas, who had settled Robin and Hyde, came to them from time to time to spend the night partying, but an unsolvable problem arose: a lot of crystals were used, none of the finished products were seen, and no report was written. Robin and Hyde
There was absolutely no way that Mi could deliver a message to Sister Maria.
With the idea of living one day at a time, after the crystals were exhausted, Robin applied for two bottles of energy drinks delivered from Rose Town to Sister Maria on the grounds of being used as control materials, No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.
Naturally, No. 1 and No. 2 were drunk by the three of them.
A few days later, Robin applied for a second batch of energy drinks from Sister Maria. She wanted 2 more bottles.
Sister Maria gave Robin two more bottles of drinks, but she asked Robin to submit the experimental report as soon as possible.
Robin knew that Sister Maria was already suspicious, but for that moment of joy, she didn't care what would happen if the matter was exposed.
That night, the three of them lay down together to rest. At this time, everyone became clearer and began to think about how to end the matter after it was exposed.
Thomas didn't stop doing anything at this time, and he was going to use the same method to drag Sister Maria into the water.
Coincidentally, the joint field team was in danger in the wild, and the entire town of Quick Creek was in chaos. Thomas felt that a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity had come.
After Egger led the rescue team to set off for rescue, Thomas called Sister Maria to the third-floor supermarket on the grounds that she needed to exchange supplies.
Thomas casually handed Sister Maria a bottle of drinking water. At Thomas's insistence, Sister Maria took two sips out of politeness.
After a while, the medicine took effect, and Thomas dragged Sister Maria into the supermarket's staff room, and then drank the rest of the energy drink himself.
In the middle of the night, Father Locke was looking for Sister Maria everywhere to take stock of supplies. When he found the Morgan Building from the dormitory, the fourth floor from the first floor, and the third floor from the fourth floor, he finally heard some strange sounds.
Father Locke followed the sound and found the two people entangled in the unlocked cubicle of the staff room.
The furious Father Locke punched Thomas in the face.
Father Locke is extremely strong. Although he is much older now, he is still not something Thomas can resist.
After being punched, Thomas lost his mind under the impact of crazy desire. He picked up Sister Maria's gun from the pile of clothes scattered on the ground, and then fired all the bullets in the gun at Father Locke.
.
When people who were playing table games on the second floor rushed to the third floor after hearing heavy gunfire, they saw Father Locke lying in a pool of blood.
…
Egg came to the isolation room where Thomas was detained. Thomas was sitting on the mattress dejectedly.
After hearing the door knock, Thomas looked up and saw Iger. His eyes flickered for a few times, and then his head lowered again.
"What's going on?" Egg asked Thomas.
After a while, Thomas raised his head and said to Iger in a tired and self-blaming voice: "Hey, brother, I messed everything up."
Listening to his words, Egg stared at Thomas without saying a word.
Thomas smiled hard at Iger, raised his head and raised his right hand into a fist, and said to Iger: "Iger, are we still brothers?"
After a moment of silence, Iger stretched out his right hand and made it into a fist. After lightly touching Thomas' fist, he said to him: "Yes."
After Iger put down his fist, he pulled out his gun and pointed it at Thomas' forehead and pulled the trigger.
"Snapped"
There was a gunshot and Thomas fell to the ground.
Hearing the sound of gunfire, the two armed guards at the door rushed in. They saw Egger calmly putting away his gun.
Egger killed the prisoner without permission.
A male armed guard thought quickly and immediately reported: "Sir, I witnessed the prisoner trying to attack you, and he was killed by you in the end."
Egger shook his head and said: "Just report directly that I carried out the execution after interrogating Thomas. If anyone is dissatisfied, ask him to come to me."
After finishing speaking, Egger walked out the door without looking back.
In the hospital, Iger met Sister Maria who looked haggard. He sat quietly in front of her bed for more than ten minutes without saying a word.
After a while, Iger said to Sister Maria: "Sister Maria, come to our town of Ross. There is someone I want to introduce to you. Her name is Alison."
Sister Maria nodded slowly, and then Egger stood up and walked out of the room.
After a while, Egger found the last person he had to see in the dormitory. Then Egger came to the second floor, which was already crowded with people with different expressions who had been waiting for a long time.
"I propose to convene an emergency meeting of the gospel team board of directors." Iger said: "Others can voluntarily stay and observe."
Egger walked to the conference table in a few steps. He walked to Father Locke's original seat and sat down.
The present director of the gospel team quickly sat on the table, while other people sat and stood, watching quietly from a distance.
"First, according to the principle of filling-in for director vacancies, I automatically fill in as a director on the Gospel Team's board of directors." Iger said to the others: "As a director, I request to convene a board of directors, which does not violate the regulations."
"Second," Egger said, "I solicited the opinions of the parties concerned and made the following application. I invited Sister Maria and Catherine to Ross Town to carry out business guidance work. This is a routine interaction between the gospel team and the gospel reclamation team.
.If you feel that there is a shortage of people, my people are over there. Just order two of them if you like them."
"Third, Thomas, the main criminal in this case, through my interrogation, the crime chain was clear, the evidence was conclusive, and he himself admitted the crime, so I carried out the execution on the spot. The executions of the gospel team were all carried out by the field team, and I, as
The captain of the joint field team, it is not beyond his authority to carry out the execution. Regarding the two accomplices Robin and Hedme, they were handed over to the Gospel Tribunal for trial. As one of the judges, I was unable to get away from work, so I specifically requested to be absent from court this time.
."
The armed guard who had been guarding the prisoners came to report that Egger had executed Thomas after interrogating him.
Egger's move was too sudden, and everyone wanted to find a time, such as tomorrow, to put Thomas on trial in public.
Just now, the cross was ready. For the murderer who brutally killed Father Locke, everyone felt that burning Thomas at the stake was the most just sentence.
However, Thomas's ending is not important. The important thing now is the aftermath of this emergency.
"Fourth, as a director of the board of directors, I am also Father Locke's godson. I think my next speech not only represents myself, but also represents Father Locke's last wish." Iger glanced around and said.
: "You can object, but I hope you will weigh your objections first."
When Iger said this, his tone was very calm, but revealed extremely majestic.
Among the crowd watching from a distance, most people had already anticipated the current scene.
It can be said that Iger was definitely expected to sit in that position, not to mention that Iger had just rescued almost the entire joint field team from Puduo City, more than 40 people.
Those who want to oppose him, do you have enough weight?
"The chairman of Gospel Team, Roque Garcia, unfortunately passed away. The board of directors is now conducting a chairman election." After Iger looked at the directors present from left to right, he said: "I recommend Andy to be the chairman of Gospel Team."
One position.”
Before Iger finished speaking, everyone was shocked.
Everyone thought that Iger would elect him. Even a long time ago, everyone already knew that Father Locke was training Iger, and he was the next candidate for chairman of the board in Father Locke's mind.
Unexpectedly, Iger actually used Father Locke's last wish and elected Andy.
The board of directors is so divided, and Iger gave up on his own initiative and recommended Andy, so there is really no way to choose a second person.
“Let’s vote,” Iger said to the directors. “If you agree, please raise your hands.”
After finishing speaking, Egger took the lead in raising his left hand.
One, two, three, four...
Iger's proposal was passed with a high vote margin of one vote short of a unanimous vote, except for Andy's own vote.
Iger took the lead in applauding. He stood up and gave up his position as chairman to Andy who was sitting next to him. He half-pushed and half-invited Andy to the seat in the middle and sat down. Iger himself sat in Andy's original seat.
Iger hasn't finished his speech yet, and his proposals are coming out one after another.
"Fifth, regarding the proposal to put Nicholas on the reserve director watch list..."
"Sixth, the proposal to establish a long-term joint field team..."
"Seventh, the proposal for joint development..."
"Eighth, regarding the proposal to apply for the establishment of a permanent outpost..."
Egger talked about many proposals in one breath, and Avella, who was taking notes next to him, was writing down fast notes. With the passage of these proposals, everyone knew that the situation would change dramatically.
Soon, the board meeting ended. Today's board meeting was not long, but it contained a lot of content.
After the meeting, Egger led all the members of the reclamation regiment, carrying the remains of the two members who died gloriously, and prepared to return to Ross Town after gathering.
Egg needs to go to Ross Town to reorganize the reclamation team.
Andy walked to the pickup truck. He stretched out his hand to signal to Joanna. Then he walked to the passenger seat and asked Iger, who was staring blankly ahead, "Why should you elect me?"
After Iger heard what Andy said, he turned his head and showed an innocent smile to Andy, and said in a cute childish voice: "Because I'm still young."
