Iger turned off the video call on his mobile phone.
Father John's choice was not unexpected. Perhaps in that situation, most people would make the same choice.
Love is a kind of responsibility, and this responsibility should be more reflected in predicting, judging in advance, avoiding in advance, and protecting the people you love before danger comes.
Because once danger strikes, the damage has been done, and no amount of belated love can make up for it.
Everyone understands the principle, but it is really difficult to do it.
As far as Iger himself is concerned, he almost led Joanna to overturn today. The difference between him and John's father may just be that he has more means, stronger ability and better luck.
After Iger put down his phone, he sighed and rubbed his face with his hands. When he put his hand down, a delicate hand caught it and pulled it into his arms.
Iger turned his head tiredly, and Joanna, who was sitting in the driver's seat, gave him a naughty smile.
This smile melted away a lot of the haze in Iger's heart.
Joanna was by the side during the whole process just now, but she was so smart that she didn't make a sound. At the same time, Joanna reached out and rolled up all the windows of the pickup truck, so that the sound of Iger's video call was muffled in the car.
After a while, Allen came over. He bent down and reached out to knock on the passenger window.
Iger quickly took his hand out of Joanna's arms, and then rolled down the car window. Allen said to Iger: "Captain, it's done here."
Egger said to Allen: "Okay, retreat."
All the team members retreated to the vehicle and headed all the way back down the mountain. After the heavy fire tow truck turned around, several team members opened the huge slingshot on the rear platform, and they fired a round of napalm into the woods next to it.
bomb.
"Bang."
The napalm bomb exploded perfectly in mid-air, and a beautiful rain of fire fell from the sky and scattered into the woods.
Suddenly, the woods that had been filled with napalm burst into flames, and the fire was expanding visibly to the naked eye.
The field team ejected napalm bombs in several other directions. As soon as the last napalm bomb was bounced, everyone heard a dense scream in the woods.
The wave of infected people just arrived here.
Just now Iger suspected that the three hotspot special infected people were together with the wave of infected people, so after killing the three special infected people, Iger did not send anyone to check, but urged everyone to speed up their actions.
As expected, it didn't take long for the infected to get into a position where they could launch an attack.
However, the woods were already on fire. Egger opened the door of the pickup truck and stepped on the pedal to stand up. What he saw was a sea of fire. It was impossible for an infected person to rush through the burning woods, unless it was made of iron.
Fortunately, the most important task of setting fire to the main barrier zone has just been completed. This wall of fire is several kilometers wide. As the mountain wind howls, it will spread further. Unless the infected people turn around and run away, they will not be able to get out of this area.
forest.
Since there have been no screamers in Puduo County for a long time, all the team members were affected by the screams just now. Egger sat back in the car and picked up the walkie-talkie to order the team to retreat to Vasa Town.
This place is still nearly 30 kilometers away from Vasa Town. Even if the wave of infected people bypasses somewhere, they can't escape the wildfire.
After sitting back in the car, Egg was recalling the screamer's spiritual scream that he had just heard in his mind.
Unlike the high-frequency screams coming from their mouths, the sound in their consciousness was very soft, a bit like a fragment of some kind of music, and lasted for several seconds.
No wonder the screamers scream at the top of their lungs. They are just squeezing the brain's potential through screaming, so that the poor brain can play this spiritual music.
After a while, Iger came back to his senses. It seemed like nothing happened to him. He clicked on his character bar, and sure enough, there was no reaction at all.
Iger turned around and saw that Joanna was taking out a small plastic bottle from her pocket. She shook out a pill from the bottle and put it in her mouth, biting it gently with her teeth. Then she reached out to pick up a kettle, unscrewed the lid, and then
Swallow the tablet into your mouth, raise your head, take a sip of water, and then drink the tablet.
After regaining her breath, Joanna turned her head to Iger and said, "Here, I'll give you medicine and water."
Each field team member will be equipped with a small waist bag, which contains some field necessities, including a bottle of painkillers.
The main function of this analgesic is to inhibit blood plague infection, including inhibiting the activation of blood plague.
Injecting the blood plague treatment serum can make you immune to the blood plague infection, but it will not be immune to the blood plague's activation. After being affected by the screamer's psychic song, the infected body that was originally inactivated by the serum instantly became active again, until
After the stimulating effect of the blood plague slowly subsides, the infected body falls into dormancy again.
Egger said to Joanna: "I didn't get hit this time."
Joanna turned her head and glanced at Iger, who explained to her: "I seemed to have resisted the screaming in my consciousness."
Joanna said nothing, she turned her head and started the car.
The command vehicle is the last vehicle in the convoy, and Egger maintains a style of attacking first and retreating behind.
Anyone who has driven on a mountain road knows that it is difficult to go up the mountain, and it is even more difficult to go down the mountain. Joanna's head was dizzy now. After she started the car, Iger quickly changed her.
"You get some rest and I'll drive." Egg said to Joanna.
If there is any danger, you must take precautions in advance. Don't let Joanna accidentally crash her car into a ravine. That would be an unjust death.
Joanna was sitting in the passenger seat. She turned her head and watched Egger driving the pickup truck with extreme caution as he followed the convoy.
To be honest, you don’t need to listen to what others have said, just Joanna’s own feelings. Ever since the infected person entered the lv4 state, Egger’s uniqueness has quickly emerged, and as time goes by, his extraordinary
It's becoming more and more obvious.
Joanna once heard a statement from the members of the Evangelical Church in Rose Town, saying that Egg was the savior sent by God. Joanna originally scorned this statement, but now, even she began to believe it.
If Iger's mental power was only audible and invisible before, today Iger's mental power was truly demonstrated, and more than once.
Now, Joanna felt a little shaken in her heart. If Iger was really the one, could she still stay by his side?
Are you worthy of him?
Joanna sniffed silently, tears falling from the corners of her eyes.
…
After putting down the telescope, Nicholas and Bill looked at each other, and then Nicholas stretched out his fist.
Guessing, this is a little game that Nicholas and Bill like to play when they are in the field. When they are in doubt, they just guess, and whoever wins will listen.
In the beginning, when two people had a dispute, they decided to win or lose through guessing. Later, the rules gradually changed to, whoever wins the guessing game will lead the team to go out, and the other person will stay at the base camp.
Although Bill's reaction was quick, the more important thing about guessing is psychological warfare. In this aspect, Nicholas maintained a 60% winning rate.
After Nicholas stretched out his fist, Bill stretched out his hand to hold it down. Bill said to Nicholas: "You look behind, I'll go."
After hearing what Bill said, Nicholas was about to retort, but Bill said to Nicholas: "If I go on this trip, I will die nine times out of ten. If you go, you will die out of ten."
Bill and Nicholas are talking about rescue.
The third and fourth teams were silent, their lives and deaths unknown.
At this time, even if they knew that all of them were most likely to have died, and that there must be a trap waiting for them ahead, the rescue team still had to go there.
This is the trap of human nature, and this is the conspiracy made by specially infected people who take advantage of human nature.
The rescue was not only to find the silent two teams, but more importantly, to show the team members behind them.
Look! We don't give up on any of our brothers easily.
Do not abandon, do not give up.
The human heart is maintained by such little efforts.
Bill patted Nicholas on the shoulder, and he turned around and shouted: "SS!"
Bill still likes to call his direct team the Guards, and everyone in the team also likes to call him Bill the Knight.
After the Guards pickup truck arrived, Bill took off his cowboy hat and handed it to the deputy captain. He reached out and scratched the bald scar on the top of his head. The wound on his head had been itching from time to time since it started to heal. Bill scratched it.
I got used to it after scratching.
The vice-captain handed over a red football helmet, and Bill put it firmly on his head.
This thing is stupid, and Bill doesn't want to add a second bald scar on his head.
Bill then climbed into the bed of the pickup truck, and with him was a shooter armed with a long gun.
"Bill Rescue Team, walkie-talkie test, completed." The deputy captain sitting in the passenger seat said to the open walkie-talkie.
"The voice is clear, over." The communications soldier in charge of the radio replied.
"We're getting ready to leave right now, over." After the deputy captain finished speaking on the intercom, he stuck his head out the window and shouted to Bill in the car behind: "Hey, boss, which point should we go to first?"
Bill didn't even think about it, he just shouted back: "Go to the nearest one."
Bill's answer was precise and incisive, getting to the heart of the question.
The vice-captain turned on the offline navigation of the mobile phone in his hand. Two red dots had been marked on it just now. This was the location reported by the third and fourth teams during their last call.
When Iger was in Ross Town, he turned on his mobile phone hotspot so that everyone could use their mobile phones to use the Internet for free. Anyway, as he said, you don't need a bastard to have the Internet. It would be a waste to have it there anyway.
However, this military network server is obviously not as exciting as the previous Internet. For example, there are no good movies.
In this network server, the most practical thing is the navigation app, so the reclamation team has many more mobile phones with updated offline navigation maps.
The vice-captain now took his mobile phone and clicked on the navigation of the two locations. After comparing them, he shouted to Bill: "The location of the fourth team is closer."
"Then let's go find the fourth team first."
Following Bill's shout, the Guards' pickup truck started, and it quickly rushed down the small dirt slope outside Rama City, which was neither high nor low, and sped towards the city center.
The streets in Rama City are wider than those in Putuo City, and they are all four-vehicle avenues. Because of the wide roads, even though the roads are full of abandoned cars, the progress of pickup trucks is not affected.
Bill stood in the carriage, his body swaying slightly as the carriage shook. Bill's left hand tightly grasped the armrest in the carriage, and his right hand rested on his waist seemingly casually.
In the past, Bill would never have been able to do such a stupid thing as being a vanguard.
Two investigation teams are missing, so four teams will be sent out.
Four teams are also missing, so just slap your butt, go back and report, and wait for the boss to replenish your manpower.
In the Evans Brotherhood, not just Bill, but every commander did this.
Over there, human life is not a thing worthy of being rare.
After living here for a long time, Bill felt that he had been assimilated by the life here.
This is not only because the living conditions of the reclamation group are better, but more importantly, everyone here lives like a human being. Bill can feel that he is living among a group of living people instead of living in a group of wild beasts.
The pickup truck traveled quickly through the city, and it was quiet here. Apart from the roar of the cars, there was only dead silence.
"Boss, right in front." The co-pilot turned to Bill and shouted loudly.
Without the co-pilot's reminder, Bill had already seen the off-road vehicle.
The white off-road vehicle was crushed by a minibus, just like a piece of cake being flattened by a baguette.
"Don't stop, speed through!" Bill shouted to the front.
After the driver heard Bill's shout, he stepped on the accelerator without saying a word, and the pickup truck that had slowed down suddenly sped up.
"boom!"
Just as the pickup truck passed, a blue pickup truck crashed behind them. If it hadn't suddenly accelerated, the pickup truck might have ended up with the same fate as the off-road vehicle.
The pickup truck roared forward, and Bill saw something out of the corner of his eye. When he looked up, he saw a ghostly figure jumping from the tall building in front. Its advance was calculated very accurately, and it would land in a few tenths of a second.
on your own head.
In the flash of lightning, a burst of gunfire was heard, and the ghost figure in mid-air turned in one direction, and then hit the guardrail of the pickup truck.
Bill looked up while reloading, and he saw several figures above his head jumping back and forth between tall buildings, looking for the best opportunity to dive.
After loading the bullets, Bill stretched out his hand to raise the iron fence of the football helmet, which somewhat affected his sight.
"Keep the car steady!" Bill shouted to the front.
Then, Bill stood with his feet splayed. His left hand released the iron handrail that he had firmly grasped before, reached into his waist bag and skillfully picked up four revolver speed loaders filled with bullets.
