Chapter 45, Food Crisis

Oh, there's no more flour.

Too.

The food stored in the church was brought back by Joanna and Iger through hard work. After cleaning up the infected people in the community and having vehicles, the supply of supplies became a piece of cake. Its importance and priority dropped. It wasn’t Qiao.

Anna reminded that Iger had forgotten about it.

Egg looked at the sky and saw that it was only five o'clock in the afternoon. Although the sky was not that bright due to the rain, it was enough for them to run back and forth before dark as long as there was a car.

Iger took off the car keys hanging on the wall of the chapel, then he hung up his AR-15 and took Joanna out in a single-cab box truck.

By the way, the van was originally filled with toilet paper. Because there was too much, everyone used the house next door to Vance as a warehouse and unloaded all the toilet paper into the house.

The biggest difference between this blood epidemic crisis and other previous crises is that there is no need to frantically hoard toilet paper anymore.

Iger was sitting in the passenger seat and Joanna was driving.

I have to say that Joanna's driving skills are very good. She starts quickly, shifts gears smoothly, drives steadily, and stops accurately. Her movements are clean and smooth, which puts Egg to shame.

I just mentioned the driving skill level in the previous chapter, but in fact, there is no driving skill in the character's skill column.

How should I put it? The driving skills of Americans and the cycling skills of Central Plains people are at the same level, so there is no need to list them separately.

Therefore, after arriving in America, many people from the Central Plains drive their cars carefully, and then they see a gray-haired old lady in the next lane driving a car that is at least half her age. The light turns green and the tires start burning.

I feel dwarfed and ashamed of myself.

The box truck stopped at the door of the bakery, and Joanna and Iger entered the store one after another.

Joanna walked behind the counter of the store, skillfully took out two bottles of sparkling water, and threw one to Egger.

This is a secret little stronghold for the two of them, and they are not going to share it with others until the inventory is exhausted.

After Iger opened the sparkling water and took a sip, he put it on the cabinet. It is more exciting to drink it when you are tired.

Compared with the previous few visits, Egger's physical condition has recovered a lot. His current basic attributes are:

Constitution: 3

I have to sigh, your body's genes are really powerful and it has miraculously recovered.

Dexterity:3

In fact, you are not clumsy. It was just because you were too lazy.

Mind:4

Although the fear has never gone away, you seem to have adapted somewhat.

As Father Locke said, if there is hope for this world, it must be in children.

The greatest hope a child inherits is to grow.



Seeing Egger starting to move, Joanna also put down the bubble can in her hand. The difference this time from the last few times was that there was no need to carry the flour back, she only needed to load it into the truck.

Egger and Joanna were carrying it back and forth like this. When Egger put down the fourth bag of flour and returned to the warehouse, he saw Joanna moving all the neatly stacked flour away and throwing it away casually.

On the ground.

"What's wrong?" Iger asked Joanna.

"Come here and take a look!" Joanna turned her head and said to Iger. Her face was very white. This had nothing to do with the flour on her face. The last time Iger saw her with such an expression, an infected person reached out to catch her.

When her feet.

Egger stepped over several bags of flour thrown on the ground and hurriedly approached. He lit the flashlight in his hand and shined it at the place pointed by Joanna.

In an instant, Egg also fell into dizziness.

OMG!

how so!

Iger and Joanna were sitting on the love seats in the bakery. They were drinking their own sparkling water listlessly. Their strength seemed to have been drained away, and now they only felt that their hands and feet were weak.

"What should I do? Should I tell Father Locke?" Joanna asked Egger.

Iger nodded, this matter must be reported to Father Locke, but for others, Iger took a deep breath and said to Joanna: "I will report to Father Locke privately, but before that, I must keep the secret.

"

Joanna nodded.

If this matter is revealed without preparation, it may cause great panic.

There is no flour in the warehouse in the bakery.

Previously, when Vance and Egg found the bakery warehouse, they saw neatly stacked flour, enough for a warehouse. They estimated that the flour would be enough for them to last for several years.

Subsequently, the team's population increased, from 5 people to the current 12 people, and the consumption also increased, but based on the current daily consumption, the flour will be enough to last until next year.

When Joanna was moving goods just now, she discovered that the flour actually only had two floors, and the items in the back that occupied 4/5 of the warehouse were all old tables and chairs that had been replaced by the bakery.

In fact, Vance and Iger were completely carried away by happiness at the time.

This is just a community bakery. Its bread sales in a month are only a few. Does the boss have to stock up on tons of flour in his warehouse at once? This is not playing famine.

After drinking sparkling water for a while, the two seemed to calm down a little. Joanna asked Iger: "What should I do? Are you still moving now?"

For some reason, Joanna felt that this little guy who was several years younger than her was quite reliable in doing things, and she subconsciously followed Egger's opinions on many things.

Iger shook his head and said: "We can't move it all at once, we have to leave half of it for next time."

The two clicked and found a total of 26 bags of flour left, each bag was 10kg. Based on each person consuming 2 bags per month, they only had about a month's rations left.

In one month, winter will begin. How will we spend this winter?

With many worries on their minds, Iger and Joanna returned to the church. As soon as they got out of the car, Iger, with a smile on his face, shouted to the people standing in the yard chatting: "Men and ladies, come here to distribute food.

"

After hearing Egger's shouting, several people chatting nearby gathered around and unloaded the truck in a hurry.

Seeing Iger's unpretentious smiling face, Joanna was almost deceived. We are all minors, why are you so thick-skinned?

Food is the morale of the army. We deliberately showed it off in front of everyone, especially the four newcomers who had just joined, to see sufficient food reserves. This is very important for stabilizing and boosting morale.

Egger has discovered that in this world, morale is a substantial influencing factor.

When morale is high, people's physical functions and recovery abilities will be strengthened; conversely, it can be concluded that once the team's morale is low, it will inevitably lead to a decline in capabilities.

The decline in team capabilities will lead to a further decline in morale, and then the team will fall into a downward spiral from which it cannot extricate itself.

After joking with everyone, Egg turned around and went to find Father Locke.
