Seeing that they had escaped from the community and the group of infected people following them were getting farther and farther away, the three of them took a few deep breaths and put their hearts back into their stomachs.
From the first time we started scavenging to now, we have carried out so many operations, and each time has been very smooth. Today, we obtained a supply of ammunition in Vance, and some people's confidence has increased.
These people are Egg and Vance.
Later, Iger and Vance's movements were too carefree and rough, and they almost injured the three of them.
If it was purely an accident that Aigra opened the rolling shutter door and accidentally attracted the attention of the infected person, then it was an irrational act for him to take Joanna to the flower shop to grab goods.
You should have jumped in the car and evacuated immediately.
Vance was also hot-headed. He saw Egg and Joanna running to the flower shop to grab goods. Not only did he not stop them, he also allowed them to play extreme harvest.
Even if it was a rush for goods, it would not have been so thrilling if we had taken a few less bags of fertilizer.
After Iger and Vance, who were sitting in the car, came to their senses, they immediately realized why their group was almost wiped out today. However, out of the man's pride, the two of them kept silent in a tacit understanding, as if all this was an accident.
Joanna, who was still in shock, realized later that today's events did not seem to be entirely attributed to the sudden incident. In order to take care of the glass hearts of the two men, she also deliberately turned a blind eye.
Egger sat in the cargo compartment and unloaded the AR-7 magazine, then took out the bullet and loaded it.
The box of ammunition that Father Locke took out that day contained 50 rounds. Now that the magazine is full, plus the bullet that was just ejected from the gun chamber, there are only 4 bullets in the Egg ammunition bag, which is not enough to refill.
Full once.
If I can't find .22 bullets again, Iger may have to borrow Vance's AR-15 with shame.
It's very fast when you have a car. It usually takes dozens of minutes to walk on the mountain road, but with the roar of the pickup truck, you can get there in just a few minutes.
Avella quickly opened the iron door after hearing the sound of the car. After Vance rolled down the electric window, he drove the car like a victorious general returning to court, carrying his two team members and trophies, and came back with his head held high.
Already.
This pickup truck can be said to be the most important strategic resource obtained by the gospel team so far.
With the advent of cars, the efficiency of material transportation will be directly improved by an order of magnitude;
From the perspective of active attack, when ammunition and fuel are sufficient, the group of infected people can be easily eliminated by using vehicles to "walk a";
In terms of defense, if there is a very large wave of infected people, everyone on the gospel team can get in the car immediately, and then drive away, leaving the empty church for the infected to play, and wait until the wave of infected people passes, or take the initiative to
They were led away, annihilated, and then retaken the church.
With such a good strategic resource, the biggest shortcoming now is that there is only one car.
After all infected people in the community are cleared, there will be plenty of safe time to inspect and repair all vehicles one by one. There will definitely be more than one usable vehicle by then.
There is no need to worry about the fuel issue for the time being. There is a small gas station in the community with all types of fuel. Although the gas station is unavailable due to the power outage, you only need to bring a small generator to get it.
The fuel at the gas station should last a long time before the depot is drained.
Everyone was busy unloading the goods from the pickup truck. After Iger opened a bag of fertilizer and took some, he went to study it alone.
Originally, Egger wanted to study homemade explosives with Vance, but Vance didn't know anything about it.
Well, Iger thinks too highly of Vance's educational level. He is proficient in mechanical repairs entirely because of his interest, talent and constant study required for work. Otherwise, he would rely on the knowledge learned in community schools.
I'm afraid the positive and negative poles of the power supply have to be connected reversely.
As for why Vance knew that fertilizer could be used as explosives, it was because an American soldier told the media about their encounter and defeat in the Imperial Cemetery with full poignancy.
"We give them grain seeds, which they eat and then grow poppies; we give them fertilizer, and they give it to the guerrillas to make explosives to attack us."
The soldier's speech moved the Americans and convinced them that the reason why they failed in the Imperial Cemetery was entirely because the people there were demons.
But they all ignored one point: the American army traveled half a world to the Imperial Cemetery. Could it be that they were there to help the poor and provide warmth?
The Bible says: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth.
If you come with guns and cannonballs, you can't blame the local people for not bringing pancakes and milk to welcome you.
Vance, who was watching news reports with a few friends at the time and yelling "fu*k Joe" loudly, knew that fertilizer could be used to make explosives, but he had no idea how to do it.
Therefore, the task of making homemade explosives fell on Egger.
Iger was sitting on an open-air seat in the yard, recalling the chemistry knowledge he learned in school. It is true that knowledge is only useful when it is used. The ancients did not deceive me.
After a while, Iger was sure that he had returned all the books to the teacher.
Undaunted, Iger became more energetic. He still didn't believe that he was such a "good guy" that he couldn't even handle such a trivial matter.
Explosives can only be triggered in these ways.
The first is impact, the second is burning, the third is violent impact, the fourth is intense burning, the fifth is extremely violent impact, and the sixth is high temperature burning.
Wouldn't it be enough to test one by one?
Iger asked Avila for some waste paper. He divided the fertilizer into many small portions, then tore the paper into small strips and put a small amount of fertilizer on it, then folded and wrapped it to make a craft that looked very much like the crafts he had played with when he was a child.
Throw the cannon.
Okay, first step, impact.
Egger placed a small paper bag containing fertilizer on a flat stone, then took the hand hammer he took out of the tool box and smashed it against the small paper bag.
"Snapped."
This is the sound of a hammer hitting a stone.
Egger removed the hand hammer and took a look. The paper package was intact, but the stone was broken...
Egger put an X after the first item "impact" with a slightly painful feeling.
The second step is burning.
Iger found a box of matches. After he lit the match, he used two chopsticks made of branches to hold the paper package and put it on the match to light it.
The paper package burned quickly. Egger carefully observed the flames and found that there seemed to be no changes beyond the burning of the paper.
Egger picked up the recording paper and put an X after the second item "burning".
The third item should be to try a "slam".
Egger took one look at the broken stones and decided to try the fourth item first, "Intense Burning".
What can burn more intensely than a match? Naturally, it is burning wood.
Iger walked into the kitchen and saw Joanna who was cooking. After saying hello, Iger casually threw a paper bag into the fire.
Egg saw that when the paper package was thrown into the fire, the fire obviously flickered and then disappeared. This was by no means an effect that a small piece of paper could achieve.
Next, Iger threw the remaining small paper bags into the fire one by one. After many observations, he confirmed that he was not dazzled. The fertilizer in the paper bags burned in the fire.
Iger took out his note paper and carefully put a √ next to the fourth item, "Intense burning."
Now it has been tested that "intense combustion" can ignite chemical fertilizers. So how to ignite the chemical fertilizers in homemade bombs? Then a certain amount of combustion aid must be added.
Okay, now we can do the second experiment, try making a small firecracker.
Egg excitedly went to find someone to ask for materials for the experiment.
