After completing the first staff promotion proposal, Egger summarized and reported to everyone the hunting results during this period.
To everyone's disappointment, this situation report was not that encouraging.
Egg told everyone honestly that his original plan to expand the hunting team in the autumn, thinking it would bring in food supplies, did not succeed.
During this period, the three hunting teams carried out non-stop hunting operations in the forest area and indeed brought back a lot of prey.
However, the situation where we originally thought that there would be so much meat did not appear. We just maintained a balance between food consumption and replenishment.
The biggest effect may be that it replaces a lot of flour-based foods (hard steamed buns with salt), and secondly, it provides everyone with a lot of necessary protein and fat.
There are now a total of 12 adults in the gospel team. Only those who have been specifically responsible for food know how much 12 adults eat in a day.
Many people think that I can only eat a small bowl of rice per meal, which is not much.
If you cut off other foods, such as various snacks, milk tea, fruits, vegetables, meat, and only eat staple food, two kilograms of rice a day may not be enough for a person.
Hunting as a food source, as Egger estimated before, even with modern weapons, is still too limited, and there are generally not enough prey.
Perhaps once on the great plains of the American continent, one could make a good living just by hunting, because at that time there were about 65 million American bison in the land of America, and thousands of herds of bison could be seen everywhere.
The American bison is also the largest land animal in North America. An adult bull can reach 1.8 meters in height and weigh nearly a ton. One bison hunted can be enough for people to eat for a long time.
But since a group of thugs from Europe set foot on this land, they found various excuses and used advanced firearms to kill bison. By 1890, there were less than 1,000 American bison left in North America.
Although white-tailed deer are said to be plentiful, these dexterous creatures are very alert. Of course, if they were not alert, they would have faced extinction like the bison.
And white-tailed deer seem to be able to smell the scent left by humans. After the woods are searched today, they will never set foot again the next day.
This also resulted in the hunting team making larger and larger circles every day, but the harvest did not increase much.
In this last collective hunting, I don’t know whether it was because the continuous wool gathering operation turned the stupid guys into frozen meat, or whether it was because most animals had already stored food and fat for the winter, and their foraging activities were greatly reduced. Anyway, the hunting team
The three teams wandered in the woods for three days and only caught a few rabbits.
Egg made a decisive decision and interrupted the hunting plan. If he continued to put manpower and time here, he would lose more than he gained.
Of course, the hunting activities will not stop, but will return to Fran's solo action. This is the optimal solution for manpower and efficiency.
The trial planting of potato fields was worse than expected. Many potatoes failed to survive after being planted. Seeing that winter had arrived, not a single potato in this batch of potatoes had sprouted.
I don’t know whether it was because the seeds were not planted properly or because the temperature was too low and the seeds were dormant. Iger deeply realized that “who knows how hard it is to eat on the plate”.
After all, the team lacks someone who really knows how to farm.
The Round Production Greenhouse has been established a long time ago, but it seems to be too late. After using the stove to heat the room, it did not attract flies to breed.
Generally speaking, the gospel team's open source plan during this period of time is far from achieving its expected goals, although it cannot be said to be a failure.
Currently, if the team wants to obtain food that will allow everyone to eat until next spring, there is only one way, which is to conquer Jixi Town and search for supplies.
After setting the current goal, we began to formulate an action plan and decided to establish an advance team to clear and occupy Jixi Town.
The members of the advance team are all members of the second and third teams of Gospel Search and Rescue, namely Iger's old partners Joanna, Andy, and Erica.
There is a small problem at the moment. Although Jixi Town is only more than 20 kilometers away from the Gospel Church, if you go back and forth, it is nearly 50 kilometers.
In the past, it was only a 50-kilometer round trip every day, which was not a trouble at all, but now the first thing to consider is fuel consumption.
This world can no longer afford the luxury of wasting any resources.
Nowadays, almost all resources are consumables. Use less and less, especially modern industrial products, which may not be produced again for hundreds of years.
In order to reduce the trouble of traveling back and forth, Egger thought of a simple way, which was to establish an outpost.
The action team members are temporarily stationed at the outpost and do not need to return to the church every day. This can save a lot of fuel and maximize the use of precious time during the day.
After the action plan was approved by Father Locke, everyone began to load the vehicle with various supplies needed to establish the outpost.
The hunting activities some time ago greatly improved everyone's ability to live in the wild. In addition to sufficient ammunition and food, there is also a set of liquefied gas tank kitchen utensils (got from Joanna's house). The most popular ones are thick mats and cotton.
quilt.
Soon, the supplies were prepared, and after saying goodbye to everyone, the search and rescue team set off.
Joanna still drove, Andy sat in the passenger seat as a safety officer, and Iger and Erica sat in the back seat.
Many people may still not understand why Iger and Erica must sit in the back seat. This is because if there is an emergency, Iger and Erica can quickly flip into the cargo bed at the back of the pickup truck.
Pickup Truck Gunner, this is the most classic low-cost combination in modern warfare.

A few months have passed since his time travel and rebirth. Egger's body has recovered well and he has recovered from the blood plague infection.
The initial constitution of this body actually had 4 points. Egger compared it to Father Locke. When he first met Father Locke, the priest's constitution was "only" 7 points.
The potential of this body is very good. As long as you can ensure adequate nutrition and live to the age of 18, your physical fitness will not be lower than 7 points.
The explanation of dexterity made Egger a little concerned, as it seemed that he had not used all the dexterity of his body.
The hardware configuration of this body is pretty good, but the exercise software is too crotch-stretching.
Ige felt aggrieved and felt that it was not his fault. Who knew that when exercise was most needed, the physical education teacher had been sick all the time.
Mind, a comprehensive reflection of Egger's own willpower and wisdom, he was very satisfied that his mind was as high as 9 points.
What surprised Egger the most was that when he first crossed over, he was infected with the blood plague, fell down, and lost two big teeth.
Unexpectedly, the empty space in his teeth had been itching in the past few days. He licked it with his tongue and found that there were teeth popping out again.
It’s good to be young. The last time I lost my baby teeth was two baby teeth. Thinking of this, Iger couldn’t help but want to look up to the sky and laugh: This kind of feeling of earning two teeth in vain, I have never experienced fillings, extractions, and dental implants.
People who follow the process cannot understand it.
After crossing the three-way intersection, the pickup truck headed toward the left side of Jixi Town. Before walking two kilometers, the pickup truck came to a sudden stop.
Iger and Erica opened the back door and quickly climbed into the cargo compartment and started working.
