Chapter 29, The Night Watch

"This is the gospel team broadcast, Lily is reporting for you. Latest news: The gospel search and rescue team successfully rescued two survivors from the community. Currently, all survivors in the community have been rescued.

The next action plan of the gospel team is to prepare to clean up the community and strive to restore the community into a safe area as soon as possible.

Next, I will play some relaxing music for you, hoping to relieve your anxiety.





This is the entire content of tonight's broadcast. Listeners, please remember that our daily broadcast times are 8:00, 13:00 and 20:00.

Thank you for listening.

God is with you.

We are with you."

At the edge of a small town 20 kilometers away from the gospel church, a man was hanging on a tall broadcast tower. He was listening to the gospel team's broadcast with headphones on, and at the same time amplified the signal before playing it out.

Tonight, people hiding in safe houses everywhere who were searching for radio signals over and over again suddenly heard a heavenly voice. Lily's broadcast replaced the rustling sound of electricity.

Gospel team, rescue operation, safe zone, these words bring incomparable hope and faith to people in despair.

Iger replaced Joanna who looked a little cold. Joanna was still wearing the T-shirt and miniskirt, but these clothes could not block the wind blowing from all directions on the bell tower.

It's not that Joanna doesn't want to wear thicker clothes, but her backpack containing clothes was abandoned in the pickup truck. As a beauty girl, Joanna would rather be cold than wear the old clothes donated by conservative adults.

Two sturdy wooden boards removed from the chapel benches and a soft cushion were added to the bell tower. Egger sat comfortably on the bell tower and blew in the cool breeze.

It was another difficult and torturous day. I had to compete with the infected in the morning, and I had to fight with the survivors in the afternoon. I was tired of my skin first, and then my heart. I really couldn't stop at all.

In the darkness, Egger clicked on the attribute bar and habitually checked his changes.

Morale: 18, positive.

Avella can actually increase people's morale, which is beyond Iger's expectation. Because personal attributes are extremely confidential, Iger does not know the relevant information about the morale bonus.

In other people's morale column, there is a bonus item that Iger does not have:

Marksman's Guard 15

In terms of skills, as expected, Egger's shooting skills have been upgraded again.

Shots: 3

Your progress is enough to amaze the veterans.

It feels great to be able to make a little progress every day. Someone once commented that if the positive feedback from life could be as timely as a game, then the number of people in the world who work hard to live would be greatly increased.

This is the truth, but the world has obviously become digitalized, but the assholes have not decreased because of this.

For example, for his family members whom he has never met before, Iger probably learned that their reputation is really not that bad. Fortunately, Father Locke could still comment on his old Frank: "I know, he is a good person."

Of course, the good person mentioned by the priest is probably a standard that is tolerant to the extreme. Except for those anti-human lunatics, there are also people who may be redeemed who fall within the scope of this "good person".

When it comes to old Frank, Egger has to consider whether his family is still alive, but he feels that the probability that all his family members have become infected is close to 100%.

Egger made this inference based on his judgment of the blood epidemic: who can be immune to the blood epidemic.

First of all, the first thing to be denied is whether the body is strong.

Among the survivors, although there are strong physiques like Father Locke and Vance, there are also people with average physiques like Sister Maria, Elvira, and Joanna, as well as Lily with a weak physique, and even one who is seriously ill.

, old man Heller whose days are numbered.

So, if resistance to blood epidemics is not distinguished by physical fitness, then it can only exist in a person's specific genome.

Egger remembers a science news report saying that in his world, because the Black Death decimated the population in Europe hundreds of years ago, all the survivors of the Black Death in Europe had inherited disease-resistant genes.

In an accidental test, scientists discovered that a large number of people in Europe are completely immune to AIDS. They can be infected with HIV and can carry HIV themselves, but they will not suffer from AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome).

.

These people who were immune to AIDS provided great help to the scientific research on anti-AIDS drugs. Soon after, AIDS-blocking drugs were invented.

If AIDS blocking drugs are used within 72 hours of possible HIV infection, the blocking success rate is as high as 99.5%, which means that only about 1 out of 200 people will fail.

At present, it seems that people who can resist the blood epidemic must be those who carry certain key genes. This is probably how the therapeutic serum was developed, which shows that illegal or legal (licensed) human experiments have already been carried out.

Egger himself does not carry this gene, so his family members probably will not have this gene either. He almost died after the Egger blood plague broke out, but his family may not have such good luck.

Thinking of this, that Fran may have some kind of "half-gene", and the blood plague can't kill him at once, but he is not as safe as the immune person. Whether Fran will die or live depends on him.

Today, Iger was waiting quietly with a pistol in hand. On the one hand, he was worried that Fran would violently injure someone after taking off his belt. On the other hand, he was worried that Fran would become infected after the blood epidemic broke out. No matter what the situation, Iger was needed.

Kill him quickly.

Judging from the current situation, Fran is in good condition, can eat, sleep, and is conscious. Avella quietly told Iger that Fran responded greatly to her teasing.

It's a good thing to be interested. At least there are thoughts in this regard, which means that the person's body is not in bad condition to a certain extent.

By the way, the medicine given to Fran was hand-picked by Iger from the air-dropped medicine. It was definitely not a painkiller, but a military painkiller.

Well, to translate it, this thing is more powerful.

In Fran's case, instead of wasting antibiotics on him, it would be more cost-effective to give him a painkiller. As for addiction to painkillers, think too much. Painkillers are also a scarce resource, so you can't eat them like jelly beans.

Iger sat on the bell tower and thought wildly for a while. Time passed quickly. I don’t know how long it had passed before Iger heard the sound of someone climbing the wooden ladder.

Egger stepped aside, and the person who came up was not the big man Vance, but Sister Maria.

"Hello, Sister Maria." Iger greeted Sister Maria and said, "Are you here to change me?"

Sister Maria answered softly "Yes".

Sister Maria has always been a bit introverted. The new girl who came today made Sister Maria very uncomfortable. Although Sister Maria is not old, she is only in her twenties this year, but compared with Joanna,

The two seem to live in completely different worlds.

What Sister Maria didn't know was that Joanna had restrained herself a lot after returning to the Evangelical Church. If she had still maintained her unrestrained spirit last night, Sister Maria would not have been unable to adapt.

When Iger was about to go downstairs to sleep, Sister Maria stopped Iger. She obviously had something to say to him.

After Iger stopped, Sister Maria hesitated and said to Iger: "Father Locke has been in a very bad state since he came back in the afternoon. This is the first time I have seen him so lackluster. Today you are dealing with an infected person again.

When we come back together, I am very, very worried about Father Locke's health."

When Iger heard this, he immediately realized the seriousness of the matter. He simply said to Sister Maria, "I'll go take a look," and quickly slid down the wooden ladder.
