Father Locke's words immediately silenced the chapel.
Egg took over Father Locke's words and said: "Previously when the streets were full of infected people, we only used estimates for food storage.
It wasn't until I went to check the inventory yesterday afternoon that I discovered that we had seriously overestimated our flour inventory.
Based on the current daily consumption, we only have enough food to last for one month, and no more than two months at most."
"In order to solve the food problem, we formed a wilderness action team, but with so many people, the hunting supplement is really limited." Egg said to everyone, "Agriculture is the ultimate solution, but before agricultural production can be self-sufficient,
We have a big food gap. Big."
"I..." Vance didn't know what he wanted to say. After he said "I", the rest of the words got stuck in his throat.
"I know." Iger said to everyone, "We have worked hard to clean up the infected people in the gospel community and established a safe zone that belongs to us.
If possible, I also hope that we only need to build a fortress on the only road leading to the outside world, so that everyone can live peacefully in the gospel community.
Today, there is no need to describe it too much. Everyone who has experienced the blood epidemic and survived after escaping from death understands how precious safety is, and it is enough to protect it with life."
Vance let out a long sigh. This guy was very good at talking. No matter what he said now, it was useless.
Egger glanced at everyone again, and after observing the expressions on everyone's faces, he slowly said: "We have many enemies, and blood plague and infected people are just one of them. Now, there is another one we can't use.
The enemy that guns and bullets knock down is famine.
However, before famine comes, we can use guns and bullets to knock down the enemies we can kill and fight our way through the enemy's heavy siege."
After Iger paused for a moment, he said firmly to everyone: "We need to capture Jixi Town."
Everyone present nodded involuntarily after hearing Egger's speech. Compared with famine, a disaster that cannot be resisted by human beings, flesh-and-blood "monsters" like infected people are easier to deal with.
"But." Egg said loudly to everyone, attracting everyone's attention again, "We have too few manpower to deal with hundreds of infected people.
We have a lot of guns, but we lack shooters. We have too few people who can shoot. We need..."
At this time, there was a rapid and continuous sound of car horns outside the chapel. When everyone heard it, they didn't know what was going on.
Iger lifted the AR-15 at his feet, took off the M17 from his waist and slid it to Vance, and then the two of them rushed out quickly with their guns in hand.
The other people quickly dispersed and hid on the spot. Father Locke, Sister Maria and Joanna returned to the room and took out their own guns, using indoor bunkers to defend on the spot.
After a while, Iger and Vance came in holding a man covered with injuries. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be Fran.
Fran's clothes were torn in many places, with obvious blood stains in many places. There were three parallel wounds on his face, but the most serious injury was on his left hand.
After Fran sat down, Egg quickly untied the bandage on his left hand. Vance went to Locke's room to get the medical kit. Only then did everyone see that Fran's left hand had lost its index finger and middle finger.
Egger's previous judgment seemed to be right again, as Fran's wound showed no signs of bacterial infection.
"I was unlucky this time." Fran grinned in pain and explained to everyone: "I originally shot a deer that day, a very fat one, but I encountered a pack of wolves. I was not bad at all, I killed them.
Three, lost two fingers, and gained one."
Guns like the AR-7 have almost no ability to defend themselves when encountering creatures like wolves that travel in packs and are very agile.
In desperation, Fran jumped into the water to escape, and was forced to abandon his survival hunting knife, as well as his survival backpack.
During this hunting, Fran suffered heavy losses, but luckily he survived.
"Thank you, friend." Iger gently patted Fran on the shoulder and said, "You have made a huge and outstanding contribution to the team."
After re-bandaging Fran's body, Avella helped Fran go to his exclusive isolation room to rest. I wonder if Avella would comfort Fran with so many injuries on his body.
After watching Fran and Avella leave the chapel, Iger turned around and said to everyone: "We need more people, we need more people to survive in this cruel world.
I propose to expand the second detachment of the Gospel Search and Rescue Team. I, Joanna, what is the name of the female security guard?" At this point, Egg asked the three newcomers.
"Uh, Erica." Andy replied.
"Erica." After Iger finished speaking, he asked, "Which of you is willing to participate in the rescue operation?"
After the three people looked at each other, Andy said: "Count me in. To be honest, I'm really bad at carpentry. Maybe it would be easier to go to the rescue."
"Okay. The members of the second detachment of the Gospel search and rescue team have been expanded to: Iger, Joanna, Erica, and Andy. The second detachment is equipped with a pickup truck. Erica and Andy went to Vance to apply for the distribution of guns. I and
Joanna prepares other supplies." After Iger finished speaking, he looked at Father Locke, who nodded.
"The chairman agrees, the proposal is approved, take action immediately." After Iger finished speaking, he asked Vance to get the m17 back.
After playing with this pistol Egg for a while, I felt quite comfortable. Besides, having one more gun can save one life.
Egger told Joanna to go to the kitchen to pack more steamed buns, and then he came outside the isolation room.
"Uh-huh." Iger pretended to cough loudly outside the door. After almost ten seconds, he opened the door of the isolation room.
I saw Fran sitting on the floor and Avila standing next to him. The two of them were neatly dressed, but Fran's face was red and it seemed that his blood pressure was a little high.
"Fran." Egg said to Fran: "You will rest in the camp for a few days this time, and then go to the mountains and forests after your injuries have recovered. You can hand over the AR-7 to me. You can still use a crossbow for hunting, and you can use self-defense weapons."
Go get one from Vance before setting off."
Fran nodded, and handed the AR-7 to Egg. This gun was indeed a bit deceptive, and it was no better than a fire stick at a critical moment.
Since it was a weapon of choice, Fran, who suffered from a phobia of insufficient firepower, first thought of a .357 revolver equipped with a quick loader. Even if he encountered a bear, the .357 Magnum bullet could easily bring it down.
The shotgun seems to be good too. For a fast and flexible guy like a wolf, the shotgun will almost never miss at close range, and it can guarantee one shot at a time.
It’s so hard to choose, which one do you want?
After Iger left, Fran was still stuck in the difficulty of choosing, and he didn't even notice that Avella was angry and left.
