Chapter 257, a thousand words are worse than silence
The most troublesome thing about lighting a fire is the beginning. Once the fire starts, it will naturally get bigger and bigger.
But Iger is ready to continue adding fuel to the fire.
The slum area is really too big. Due to the limited elasticity of the slingshot, only the outermost areas are ignited. In order for the fire to spread to the entire area, in addition to relying on a little luck, Egger plans to continue to expand the fire source.
"A little to the left, 14 meters."
"beng!"
"Continue to the left, 14 meters."
"beng!"
"To the right, to the right, 14 meters."
"beng!"
"The last one, 14 meters to the right."
"beng!"
It went very smoothly. All the napalm bombs he brought were shot out. Egg commanded Under to dismantle the slingshot. Then several people descended from the fire escape to the first floor without anyone noticing.
The pickup truck could already be seen in front of him. Stimulated by the sunlight at the exit, Egger couldn't help but run two steps quickly. As a result, the person disappeared as soon as he stepped out of the stairwell.
Egg felt like he was jumped by a tiger, leopard, or husky. He immediately flew up and jumped several meters before landing.
In mid-air, out of instinctive reaction, Egger stretched out his left elbow to block it in front of him, and then his face hit the concrete floor hard.
Fortunately, he was protected by the iron mask of the football helmet. After a brief pause in thinking caused by the impact, Egger immediately realized that he was being "hunted."
In Quest for Survival, the hunter likes to attack people like this the most. This is called going out to kill.
A heartbreaking pain came from his left hand. Egger lay on the ground with an awkward movement. The MP5 was pressed on Egger's chest, and Hunter was pressing the entire weight on his back.
The force coming from his back was so great that Egg was almost out of breath. In his current position, let alone struggling, he couldn't even turn over.
Even through his helmet, Egg seemed to feel Hunter's breathing, and he smelled the stench from Hunter's breath.
"Why did you set the fire?"
Egger heard a rough female voice speaking to him.
"Egg!" Joanna's voice came from a distance. Although she had a gun in her hand, she did not dare to fire in this situation.
Onder saw this scene after rushing out of the stairwell. He picked up the combined steel piece in his hand and prepared to hit Hunter with a rounded spin.
Egg felt his back relax. Before Under's attack was about to reach him, Hunter took the initiative to give up suppressing him, and then Joanna fired a shot.
"boom!"
Although the impact area of the shotgun was large, the hunter was very fast and Joanna missed.
After a while, Egger was turned over.
"How is it?" Joanna asked Iger.
"It's not bad." Iger opened the character bar and quickly checked himself and said: "The left upper arm is fractured."
After Iger stretched out his right hand and was pulled up, he panted and said to the other four people: "I heard that person talking to me just now."
Joanna and the other four people all shook their heads and said it was impossible.
Ender watched the infected person who had subdued Egg escape on all fours. It was impossible for a human being to run fast in this position.
Joanna even saw with her own eyes that the infected female pressed on Egger's back, she opened her mouth to a degree that humans simply could not do, and then let out a terrifying growl at Egger.
After hearing his teammates' explanation, Egger reached out and touched his helmet. He said apologetically: "Sorry, it must be the concussion when I fell that knocked me out."
Then several people boarded the pickup truck and quickly evacuated towards the Nancheng Building.
Behind them, the fire in the slums was burning bigger and bigger, showing the potential of a prairie fire.
"Why are you setting fire..."
This voice kept echoing in Egg's mind.
Why……
Maybe it’s the natural exclusivity of living things.
You and I will definitely not be able to coexist peacefully. One of us will have to die.
…
After returning to the Nancheng Building, Joanna parked the car and put down Under and the other three team members. She needed to take Egg to Jixi Town to treat the fracture of his arm.
The pile of human sculptures at the entrance of Nancheng Building had been knocked down. They had been crispy by the fire. Just now, a field team member took a steel spear and stabbed hard at the scorched limbs, and a large part collapsed with just a scratch.
The field team members who were used to seeing corpses had no resistance to this clay dummy-like thing. They stabbed them randomly with steel spears, smashing all the statues blocking the door into crumbs, and then started again.
Use the cleaning tools you brought to clean it up.
The debris at the door was cleaned up first, and the iron fence that had been thrown on the ground by the giant was carried over. Generally speaking, the iron fence was still usable, but there were some slight bends in some places. Vance found a strong team member to take turns.
Hammer it straight, and then find a way to weld it on.
The welded fence door can still be raised and lowered, but its strength is definitely not as good as the original one. This is not a big problem, as long as it can block ordinary infected people.
Egg drooped his left hand. He found Vance and gave a brief explanation. Then he returned to the pickup truck and Joanna drove away.
After hearing the news that the ghetto had been set on fire, Vance stepped up his work.
The sentries have been spread out. If the infected people are willing to squat quietly in the slums and be burned to death, then it will be great. If the infected people are like animals in forest fires and are driven out by the fire and run all over the ground, then
All members of the field team will be evacuated immediately.
Vance would not make the mistake of underestimating the enemy a second time.
…
Jixi Town Hospital.
Dr. Heidemi is examining Ruona.
Ruona has not fully recovered after escaping death last time in the field, but her infection rate has dropped below 20%. Apart from some general weakness, headache, brain fever, and limb pain, she has no other symptoms.
But with many years of experience in internal medicine, Heidemi felt that Ruona had some damaged internal organ functions, but at the moment there were not enough instruments for examination, let alone treatment.
It should be a blessing to be able to die from a long-term chronic disease nowadays.
"This is today's medicine, one pill at a time." Dr. Heidemi handed three sedatives to Ruona's hand.
Hedme knew in her heart that although some things seemed to be in the past, in fact they were not.
The evangelical team has strengthened the management of various drugs, and every use of tranquilizers requires filling out a form, which brings a lot of inconvenience to Dr. Heidemi's work.
At this time, Hedme heard someone shouting "doctor" outside the door. She quickly walked out in a few steps, and then Hedme saw the person she least wanted to see.
The resistance in her heart did not slow down the movements of Dr. Heidemi's hands. She gently squeezed Iger's arm with both hands. After a while, she said to him: "It's just a fracture. The bones are not dislocated. I just need to fix them for you."
That’s it.”
Egg nodded, and Dr. Heidemi pinched his arm. Even though he had taken painkillers, he was still sweating from the pain.
Dr. Heidemi picked up two splints and, with the help of Joanna, tied Iger's upper arm tightly. Then he used a fixed belt made from a sheet to fix Iger's upper arm to the side of his chest and hang his lower arm around his neck.
Through Dr. Heidemi's bandaging, Egger's pain has been relieved a lot.
"Is there anything I need to pay attention to?" Egger asked Dr. Hedme.
Dr. Haidmi said very skillfully: "Don't use your left hand, rest more. It is recommended to lie down on your back when sleeping. If the pain is severe, take some painkillers. I will prescribe you a week's supply first, but there are not so many medicines here. I will give you
You write a prescription and go to the Internal Affairs Office to get it."
Every field team member will bring a certain amount of painkillers, and Iger has already consumed all of his painkillers.
Dr. Hedme quickly wrote on a small piece of paper with a pen, and handed the note to Joanna after she signed it. Joanna picked up the note and took a look, what the hell, what is written on it, she was confused.
She glanced at Dr. Hedme, and Hedme said to her: "Go ahead, it's no problem."
Okay, now that you say so.
Joanna took the note and went out.
In the room, Egger and Hedme sat facing each other in silence, without talking or making any movements. They just sat quietly until Joanna returned.
"Wow, someone can really recognize the words written like that." Joanna said to Iger in surprise.
When she arrived at the Internal Affairs Office, Joanna handed the note over, and she heard a familiar voice: "Analgesic tablets three times a day, 2 tablets each time, a week's supply."
After Maria left the Internal Affairs Office, Andy promoted Avella to the position of Chief Internal Affairs Officer.
Although Avella has a lot of flaws in her character and personal habits, it is undeniable that Andy can feel relieved when she is the general manager.
Andy often lamented that only the elderly were reliable. He counted on his fingers and found that there were not many elderly people left in the gospel community.
After Joanna returned, she broke the silence in the clinic. Egger got up and took Joanna out. He had to rush to Puduo City today.
"Have you ever repented?"
Egger could not say what he had been holding back in his heart.
