One all-nighter and one daytime, that's 40 hours without sleep.
Andy felt that his headache was very severe, so he took a painkiller with half a cup of cold coffee left.
This was a marathon and difficult three-party negotiation. Andy used superb communication skills to finally successfully resolve the serial vendetta between the two teams.
It no longer matters who was right or wrong in the beginning, what is important is to stop this bloody vendetta.
Human hatred is difficult to influence with love.
Andy naturally didn't think of using love. He only had two things in his hands, the carrot and the stick.
Under coercion and prisoner games, Andy achieved his expectations perfectly, because both teams were afraid that if they did not compromise, they would be jointly suppressed by the hostile team and the gospel team.
To fight against the suppression by the gospel team, the two teams must join forces, but the gospel team's request to them is that they join forces.
The words are very convoluted, but the conclusion is very simple. At this moment, whoever says no will die.
After everyone agreed to put aside the blood feud, the next step was to deal with the explosion that occurred in the parking lot of Jixi Town.
Andy has always believed that there is nothing that cannot be quantified with money. If it cannot be quantified, it can only mean that the price is too low.
Finally, with Andy's mediation, everything was settled, the victim team received a large sum of compensation, the gospel team took out a large loan, and gained an ally and a creditor.
It was time to have dinner soon, and Andy had no appetite. After telling Avella a few words, he went back to his room to sleep.
Lying in bed, Andy tossed and turned and couldn't sleep. There were more and more things in the gospel group, and the things that needed to be dealt with and balanced every day became more and more troublesome.
But then again, Andy felt very tired about this situation, but at the same time he enjoyed the feeling of having such power.
In the past, Andy was the only one who fawned over others, but now he has become the most powerful person.
If you want to wear his crown, you must bear its weight.
Andy thinks everything is fine.
…
Christown.
The infected people entrenched here have been cleared out, and the whole town is like a ghost town. There is no sound except the strange roar of the wind.
Iger and Joanna parked the car on the street, and then they were shopping along the street with weapons in hand.
Through a simple inspection, Egg found that Chris Town was very well preserved. Even the uneaten food and tableware on the dining table were still neatly placed. No survivors had raided the place after the blood plague broke out.
Of course, no survivors can escape from here.
Aige guessed that there are probably two reasons why there are no survivors here.
Either the survivors fled to Crisburg to seek asylum after the blood plague broke out, and then were suddenly killed by the AI.
Or the survivors successfully escaped from the town and then died of thirst and starvation in the desert.
No matter what the cause of death is, it is not surprising. There is no room for detours in this place.
It wasn't because of the sparse population density that the survivors could have escaped the first wave of disasters after the blood plague.
After the blood epidemic broke out, the first wave of disasters should be counted from the day of the outbreak to a week. Because within a week, the food and water at home were basically exhausted, and the survivors needed to go out to find new survival supplies. In this process
They will inevitably come into contact with infected people, and a large part of the survivors will be eliminated.
The second wave came after winter. Simple and easily available food was basically eaten up, and the survivors faced a long-term food crisis.
The third wave is from the appearance of Blood Plague Heart to now.
Those survivors who have not escaped from the area controlled by the Heart of Blood Plague are being surrounded and killed by the infected. Facing the extremely huge wave of infected, the survivors have almost no chance of survival unless they escape by car.
Now, Egg and Joanna are looking for the Blood Plague Heart in Chris Town.
The reason why Egger thinks that the Heart of the Blood Plague is in Chris Town is because hundreds of kilometers around Chris Town are deserts, so it is impossible for the Heart of the Blood Plague to be buried in the sand.
Moreover, Egger estimates that the Heart of the Blood Plague should be inside the building. The power of the Great Basin Desert means that even the infected must be a bit scientific.
Sure enough, in a bar, Iger and Joanna discovered a huge flesh-shaped tumor, but compared with the one exploded in Puduo City, this was just a quail egg next to a goose egg.
This is the same as Egger's conjecture. The blood plague heart is restricted by the quantity of materials and can be divided into different sizes. The number of infected people here can only fuse this blood plague heart, which is not as high as Egger's.
"Is this the thing? It's disgusting, just like the eggs of the Zerg in the movie." Joanna looked at the Heart of Blood Plague and said with disgust.
Egger stretched out his hand and slowly reached towards the Heart of the Blood Plague. Joanna looked on and felt extremely shabby in her heart.
Finally, Egger's extended palm touched the Heart of Blood Plague. It had a thick layer of skin on its surface, just like a leather bag. It had no temperature, but it was not cold either.
Egger touched the heart of the blood epidemic. He tried to channel all the most vicious and sharp emotions in his heart. He worked on the heart of the blood epidemic for a long time. Joanna saw that Egger's face was darkening. She asked worriedly next to him.
He said: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay." Egg took a breath.
It turns out that activating negative emotions is so energy-consuming.
After Iger wasted a lot of thought, there was no response from the Heart of the Blood Plague. If it weren't for the heavy pressure on his mind, Iger would probably think that he had made the wrong choice.
To deal with the Heart of Blood Plague, physical methods are better to use.
For such a small target, there was no need to turn back to the pickup truck to get a 7.62 shotgun. The shotgun in Joanna's hand was enough.
To deal with such a huge immobile creature, especially when it is so close, the lethality of a shotgun is far greater than that of a shotgun.
Unfortunately, single-ended bullets are very rare, and their recoil is too great, otherwise this blood-plague heart might not be able to eat two single-ended bullets.
No. 12 is No. 12, the worst is to take a few more shots. Anyway, Joanna has plenty of bullets.
Just when the two of them stepped back a certain distance and Joanna raised her shotgun to take aim, Egger suddenly called to stop.
"Wait a minute." Iger said to Joanna: "I suddenly felt that it would be good to keep this thing."
Um?
Egger said to Joanna: "The first advantage is that if infected people enter Chris Town, this blood plague heart can direct them to die, saving us from killing them one by one. The second advantage is that Di
Aren’t you going to study the serum to treat blood plague? This is the best experimental subject.”
After Egger said this, Joanna also thought it was a good idea. The two then put away their weapons and returned to the huge bonfire under the afterglow of the setting sun.
With the blood plague in his heart, Egger would not dare to stay in Chris Town no matter how big his heart was, so he had to rely on this bunker to feel more at ease.
After a while, Dina also came up, her clothes stained with blood.
Just now, Dina unlocked the door to the equipment control center. Although she was mentally prepared, the number of infected people who jumped out of the opened safety door was still a bit too high.
Dina handled it calmly and calmly with a steel knife, and performed an unparalleled assassin performance that no one applauded.
After fighting all the way to the equipment control center, Dina was exhausted and panting.
After a series of inspections of the equipment, Dina found that as she expected, the fuel supply in the No. 1 oil depot was only about 10%, and the warning light had already been on so brightly that it almost blinded people.
Dina manually opened the valve of the No. 2 fuel depot. As the No. 2 fuel depot was supplied with fuel, the fuel alarm light finally went out.
Then Dina didn't dare to go deep alone anymore. She thought she could wait until Iger and Joanna came together before exploring other areas. Unconsciously, Dina recognized the abilities of Iger and Joanna. In her eyes, these two
I am no longer an experimental consumable and an annoying woman, these are two companions worthy of teaming up with them.
The desert in Nevada is not the kind of endless yellow sand, it is a desert with more gravel than sand, but the temperature still drops rapidly at night. The three people chatting across the fence had to move closer to the fire, which was burning.
Although the human body smells very bad at first, as you continue to smell it, you get used to it.
In fact, there are still many topics for the three of us to talk about together.
Egg can talk to Dina about some in-depth knowledge.
Dina can talk to Joanna about the things girls like.
Iger can talk to Joanna about some boring and helpless things in life but interesting to others.
When two people chatted happily, the other person sat aside and listened quietly.
Unexpectedly, I sat like this all night. It was not until the sky turned white the next day that the flames in the fire gradually became smaller.
Egger picked up the red and white crossbar that was broken by Dina's car. Joanna held the crossbar and poked it into the fire, and then added some fuel to the fire.
If you want to burn it, you need to burn it thoroughly.
When the sun climbed high and the temperature rose again, the fire was finally extinguished.
Joanna used the horizontal pole as a poker to push away as much bones and other debris as possible on the ground, and then the pickup truck drove into the inner courtyard.
Egger yawned deeply. His physical strength was only in single digits and he was about to be forced to shut down.
"I just want a bed or a sofa right now. But if I don't have the conditions, I can sleep in the car. I'm almost exhausted."
Egger said tiredly to the two girls.
"Same feeling."
"Me too."
As the three of them talked, they followed the opened metal security door and walked into the underground passage.
