Everyone saw Egger suddenly shaking as he was speaking, and then two bloody arrows spurted out from his nose.
The nosebleed spurted out so suddenly that before Iger had time to react, his priest's robe and the cross on his chest were covered in blood.
Then, Iger bent over and squatted on the ground with his head lowered, his mouth wide open and gasping for air.
When you have a nosebleed, no matter how violent it is, don’t panic. On the contrary, if you use the wrong posture when handling it and let the blood choke into your lungs, the result will be more troublesome.
Seeing that Iger had another nosebleed, Joanna moved quickly. She stepped forward and took out a large pack of hemostatic cotton from her medical bag, then rolled it into small strips and stuffed it into Iger's nose.
Iger squatted on the ground with his head in his hands and let Joanna do it. After a while, his nasal cavity was filled with hemostatic cotton, and his swollen nose looked a little funny.
The unknown voice continued to sound in his head. Although Egger couldn't understand what it meant, he knew that something big must have happened.
This mental shock was very strong, and it took a while before it slowly subsided. Then Iger found that his mind was clear.
Hey, the auditory hallucinations are gone.
The auditory hallucinations that have been noisy in my head are really gone.
Iger tried to say "beep" in his head, but he couldn't hear any sound.
The mental network collapsed?!
Egger is so happy!
Before I could get over it, the hallucinated voice appeared again.
this?
But Iger quickly guessed what happened. He waved to the concerned people around him, then took out his mobile phone and started a video call.
The video call was connected, and Aige asked angrily: "Are you doing anything big over there?"
"How do you know?..." Dina suddenly understood after seeing Egger's appearance. She asked excitedly: "Have you received any information? We are still estimating the results of the battle."
On the screen in front of Dina, in the picture returned by the drone, there was still a raging fire burning at the bottom of the collapsed bank building.
"Did you take the plane out?" Iger asked back to Dina.
The last raid was a complete failure. If the military really kills the Blood Plague Heart, it will only use airplanes.
"How was it? Did we succeed?" Dina said nervously to Egg.
After hearing Dina's words, Egger paused for a moment. The auditory hallucinations in his head did not stop. He said to Dina: "The good news is that you really killed the blood plague heart." Egger pointed.
Touch his nose, "This is the mental shock it sends out before it dies."
But the bad news is that the mental network still exists, and the operation of the Blood Plague Brain was only interrupted for a while and has now been restored."
After the two were silent for a while, Dina said: "This news makes me a little sad."
Egg understands Dina's mood.
After all, I paid such a high price but did not get the desired results.
In fact, Iger had already informed Dina of this situation in advance. Before the Blood Plague Brain is connected to the Internet, single-target sniping of the Blood Plague Heart at the critical point can effectively prevent the emergence of the psychic network.
However, the psychic network has been formed. At this time, the blood plague brain is actually "decentralized", and the blood plague heart must be continuously eliminated until it falls below the threshold again, and then the lv4 state can be released.
This military action killed the largest Blood Plague Heart, but the changes caused by it are irreversible.
After closing communication with Egg, Dina looked at her colleagues in the command room who were staring at the real-time screen with excitement and nervousness. She didn't know whether she should tell everyone the news in advance.
More importantly, this step in Dina's plan is related to the subsequent strategic deployment of the military-controlled areas.
As the general believes, Dina feels that if it can return to level 3, the military can reduce losses by stabilizing the defense line, then slowly recover, and finally conduct tentative expansion.
However, it still maintains the level 4 status. Not to mention how to deal with the current infected people, once the infected people from the nearby city circle migrate over, the control area will face the worst situation of being attacked from both sides.
The general also has good ideas, and his strategic plan is very forward-looking, but the premise is that there will still be control areas in the future.
This is the core judgment about strategy. On this point, the judgments of the general and Dina are exactly opposite.
The general believes that as long as the defense line is firm, the controlled area can be defended, while Dina believes that the controlled area will inevitably fall.
The key factor in making such a judgment is the degree of trust in Egger's lv4 judgment.
In the final analysis, the general did not trust Iger. He believed that Iger's words had "reference value" at most. After all, this was a doomsday fable told by a magician.
Dina believes that the accuracy of Egger's judgment is close to 100%.
After Dina sat on the chair for a while, she decided to report to the general first.
Now, Dina felt a sense of powerlessness all over her body. She felt like a lookout on the Titanic. After warning the captain of the danger of ice floes, the captain not only did not slow down, but also asked to move forward at full speed.
It was rushing fearlessly towards an iceberg that could bring destruction to itself.
Dina wanted to do something, not only for herself, but also for the tens of thousands of survivors in the controlled area.
At the last moment, the captain chose to live and die with the ship, which was his honor.
But an entire boatload of people sank to the bottom of the sea at the same time as his bullshit honor.
Dina felt that such a tragedy could not happen again.
…
After interrupting the communication with Dina, Iger took a rest for a while. When he felt that he was almost done, he slowly pulled out the hemostatic cotton stuffed in his nose with his hands.
Pulling out the hemostatic cotton in advance has a high risk of causing second bleeding, but if it dries in the nasal cavity, it will be more painful when pulled out.
The two long blood sticks were pulled out, and Egg felt that his breathing became much easier. After he waited for his nasal cavity to adapt to the dry air, he happily said to the team members in front of him: "This is good news.
Our friendly forces have just destroyed an extremely large Blood Plague Heart.
It was formed by the fusion of tens of thousands of people and occupies the entire floor of the bank building, as well as the underground extension. This heart of the blood epidemic commands millions of infected people in the city. Now, such a huge guy is still
Killed by our friendly forces.
This is an unprecedented victory!"
When Iger said this, all his men cheered.
Seeing the sincere cheers from the team members, Iger felt a lot more relaxed.
Iger finally understands why there is always good news in the news every day. Although people prefer to read "fake news", although negative news is more eye-catching, it does not do any good in stabilizing emotions and improving beliefs.
Deep down in their hearts, what people always want to see is "good news" and "better news."
The military has made such big news, and we cannot lag behind.
The plan to set fire this time is very simple, that is, while the infected group is still in the woods, then set fire to the mountain.
Summer is extremely hot today. The temperature has not been normal since May. It has always been high. At the end of the month, it actually exceeded 100℉ (38℃).
I originally thought that June would bring rain and refreshment with the arrival of the hurricane season, but it turned out to be even more exaggerated as June entered. There had been no rain since the beginning of the month, and the daytime temperature had exceeded 108℉ (42℃).
.
Some time ago, Egger had been living in a bunker, and he had no feeling for the high temperature at all. When Egger came out of the bunker, he felt that the weather was indeed very hot, but because he was not a local, he had no idea.
After returning to Ross Town, when Iger heard Bill's report that this year's wheat production had been severely reduced, he ran to his family's farm to check it out.
Where is the wheat here? It’s obviously all grass!
It turns out that drought and high temperatures came just after the wheat entered the grain-filling period. The tenant farmers of the reclamation group, ah, no, they were business partners, were worried about this matter.
The grain filling period is the most important period for wheat.
Once there is insufficient water supply during the wheat grain filling period, it will inevitably affect grain filling. If grain filling is insufficient, the wheat ears will become shriveled or even empty.
If we had encountered this situation before, the solution would have been very simple, which would be to desperately pump groundwater and then use the irrigation system to supply water to the farmland.
America's farmland irrigation system is very efficient and requires very few manpower. This method is good, but the only and biggest drawback is that it is extremely wasteful.
First of all, the biggest waste is water resources.
Of course, for ordinary farmers, when there is no water, they pump it out, and if they can't pump it out, they dig the well deeper. Anyway, if you work hard, you can work wonders.
But it's different now.
Since the blood epidemic, agriculture has basically relied on the weather.
This year we encountered a severe drought. Although the water pumping system is intact, the biggest difficulty is the power supply. Whether it is John or Gavin, the two farmers are simply unable to support the use of simple generators for power supply and water pumping. If they keep using simple generators
, the wheat grown in the end may be more expensive than gold.
Similarly, the small hydropower in Jixi Town cannot be used.
Due to high temperatures and severe drought, the water level in the small reservoir dropped sharply. In order to prevent the depletion of the water level from causing a blackout, Pide specifically lowered the power generation power of the hydropower station.
Agricultural power consumption is very large, otherwise there would not be a gas-fired thermal power station built near Ross Town specifically to provide power for agriculture.
Pide has estimated that connecting agricultural power to the grid may cause the entire power grid to trip.
After comprehensive consideration, the gospel team’s decision was to let it dry out.
Although it sounds a bit cruel to say it, agricultural losses can actually be borne by scapegoats, but it just depends on how much loss they can bear.
Therefore, during Ige's inspection, several tenants in his family immediately fell to their knees in front of Ige.
Regardless of whether it was John or Gavin's team, they never expected that this year would be a year of extreme weather.
This year's output will be very bleak. According to the previous contract, these people might just be sold into slavery and work for 1,000 years.
It can only be said that risks and returns have always gone hand in hand. In the past, everyone always thought of cultivating the land and then becoming a big landlord.
The result was tragic.
When encountering this kind of thing, Iger naturally can't push people to death. What is most lacking right now is talents, and professional talents like farming are particularly important.
Ige first said that he could apply to the board of directors to temporarily postpone the settlement of their debts. Since they are still there, they can slowly farm and pay back in the future.
Afterwards, Egger began to look at the map on his mobile phone, looking around for possible industrial grain storage locations.
Because the primary industry and the secondary industry are often not separated, processing them nearby can save a lot of transportation costs. Therefore, there may be a large industrial zone related to food near agricultural production areas.
As long as you pry open any industrial zone, you will have enough food to eat until you die.
Originally, Ige was going to submit a plan for the food search operation to the board of directors of the Reclamation Corps, that is, he would plan the operation and a few people on the board of directors would implement it.
As a result, the other side directly created a level 4, and this side had to terminate the food search plan.
It seems now that things always have pros and cons.
This year's high temperature and severe drought are just the right time to set fire to the mountains.
