Chapter 40, Aftermath

"Let's go, get in the car." Vance said to everyone, and within a few minutes, everyone returned to the explosion zone.

“what the hell!!!”

As soon as we got off the bus, everyone was shocked by the sight in front of them.

On the whole street, human remains are everywhere, and those sticky things coat everything;

Hard broken bones were inserted into the walls of the buildings on both sides of the street like nails, densely packed, as if these walls had a layer of spikes;

Although some infected people on the periphery of the explosion lost part of their bodies, they were not dead immediately. They were dragging their remaining bodies and struggling and roaring in the mud of flesh and blood.

The original joyful mood in everyone's hearts disappeared immediately. With the breeze, the mixed smell of human internal organs and excrement that had been fermented for a long time flooded into everyone. As soon as the smell entered her nose, Joanna bent down and vomited.

After holding on for more than ten seconds, Iger couldn't help but vomited. Now only Father Locke and Vance were still standing.

"If there is hell, that must be where I will go." Father Locke took off the cross from his neck and made the sign of the cross with it to pray.

"If there is hell, it won't be worse than it is now." Vance was glad that he had a thick beard, which could at least filter out some of the stench.

An infected person who had lost his lower body dragged his organs behind him in a straight line, roaring as he struggled to crawl towards the crowd.

"Go. It doesn't matter whether you go to heaven or hell, the world is not worth your time." After vomiting for a while, Iger felt better. He raised the AR-15 in his hand and pointed it at the head of the crawling infected person.

Just one shot.

"boom."

Gunshots rang out, and the infected man finally lay on the ground calmly.

Egger took a few steps forward, trying not to step on the dark red goo and heading towards the explosion point. As he walked, he raised his gun and aimed, killing the struggling infected one by one.

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."

"boom."



The sound of gunshots is like a death knell, mourning for those suffering who have been relieved by death.





"This is Gospel Team Radio, Lily is reporting for you. Here is the latest important news:

The Gospel team has successfully cleaned up the Gospel community, and all infected people in the Gospel community have now been cleared.

We are establishing a permanent safe zone and working hard to restore normal life and order.

The following is a repeat report.





The Gospel team once again held a general meeting of shareholders. At the meeting, Iger first announced to everyone the results of the clearance work for the Gospel community, including the cleanup of infected people and the collection of various important materials.

When it comes to cleaning up the infected, the last tiring task is to collect the corpses of the infected.

On the one hand, it is in the spirit of humanitarianism, and on the other hand, it is to prevent the plague that may occur if so many corpses are allowed to rot.

After two full days, the Gospel search and rescue team cleared out a total of 117 corpses of infected people, 8 corpses of survivors, and countless body parts.

These corpses and debris were gathered on T-shaped Street, which was the center of the explosion, and then all were neatly stacked on a pyre made of various wooden furniture. After being poured with fuel, they were set on fire.

"This street is in ruins." Vance sighed as he looked at the smoky fire.

Joanna shook off a strand of wet hair stuck to her forehead. She was glad that her home was still some distance away from here. Most of the debris that splashed over was blocked by the overturned truck, so her home was not affected.

Be affected.

Otherwise, we won't be able to return home.

While collecting the bodies, Joanna looked at the densely packed body fragments stuck on the wall. Joanna felt that if her home was like this, it would be better to burn it down.

In terms of "trophies", it mainly refers to weapons, that is, firearms, which can be said to be a fruitful harvest.

During the sweep of the police station, a total of 7 pistols, 3 pump-action shotguns, and 2 rifles were recovered.

These two rifles, one is a Winchester m70 bolt-action rifle with a scope installed, which looks a bit old, but has very reliable performance; the other has a damaged scope, is equipped with a foregrip, and the gun body has passed

Modification, black gun body with cool white pattern AR-15.

Vance recognized this highly recognizable AR-15 at a glance. It was the favorite gun of Allen, the best marksman in their militia group.

Allen's body was not found at the police station, so Allen did not escape the blood plague infection, and perhaps his body became part of the fragments that could not be pieced together.

After obtaining a large number of weapons, the natural first step is to distribute the weapons.

Iger likes that m70 very much.

The Winchester M70 was first produced in 1936. Over the decades, it has experienced many wars. There are millions of copies in stock in America. It is known as the "rifle among rifles" that can be produced for another 100 years.

But Vance directly rejected Egger's proposal.

"Why?" Egger couldn't understand. This kind of bolt-action rifle can be used as a sniper rifle. Obviously only I can play its maximum role.

Seeing that Egger didn't understand, Vance patiently explained to him the difference between a sniper and a sharpshooter.

The main role of a sniper is to hunt high-value targets, so the sniper requires high accuracy and emphasizes the lethality of the first shot.

The sharpshooter provides cover for teammates with precise fire strikes, so the rate of fire and accuracy are equally important.

Sharpshooters are generally equipped with semi-automatic rifles. The shooting speed of bolt-action rifles is too slow. Moreover, this M70 is an old model that has not been modified. It can only manually retract a single shot, and can only reload a maximum of 5 bullets at a time.

Vance stared at Egg and asked: "Can you handle the situation we encountered when we came back on the first day with the m70?"

Uh...really can't.

In such a short period of time, Egg can only fire three shots at most. If panic and other factors are added, he may not be able to kill two infected people. Then, the result will be three people fighting together.

Iger, who accepted criticism humbly, obtained the AR-15 after re-understanding his position.

This AR-15 with the damaged scope removed has the same appearance as Vance's except for the color, which shows that this kind of modification is very cost-effective and has been well received by gun lovers.

In the final allocation of firearms, the M70 was used as a fixed gun at the bell tower sentry point; Father Locke felt that it was enough for him to use the double-barreled shotgun, and no one forced it.

Among the remaining girls, Joanna and Sister Maria who were willing to carry guns were given a Glock. The remaining unallocated firearms were kept in a centralized manner and would be used and distributed when necessary.

Next, Iger read out the second agenda of the shareholders' meeting. As a recommender, he proposed that Fran and Joanna be included in the board of directors.

Iger then read Fran and Joanna’s contributions to the team to all board members.

Fran went on two hunts and brought back a total of 200 pounds of prey.

After Joanna joined the Gospel search and rescue team, in the spirit of not being afraid of death or hardship, she completed 5 scavenging missions, carried back 300 pounds of important supplies, and participated in the final battle of community clearance.

After the announcement, Iger asked the board of directors to vote on the promotions of Fran and Joanna one by one. In a cheerful atmosphere, both Fran and Joanna received unanimous votes.

Subsequently, Iger once again announced a supplement to the director system. From today on, all new entrants can only be ordinary members. Ordinary members can only be promoted to shareholders after they are recognized.

Currently, the board of directors has one chairman and seven directors. If the chairman is unable to make a decision on a proposal, the board of directors will vote. In order to prevent deadlock, the number of directors will remain odd and will not be expanded for the time being.

Iger's proposal is very correct. It ensures that the results of the current efforts of the gospel team cannot be easily taken away by outsiders, so it was unanimously approved by all directors.

But what no one expected was that this system laid the foundation for the demise of the gospel team.
