Chapter 94, Another General Meeting of Shareholders
There were more corpses in Jixi Town than expected. After two consecutive days of hard work, the advance team rummaged through Jixi Town from top to bottom and cleared out a total of 51 corpses.
The corpses were pulled by pickup trucks to a low-lying area outside the town. Some wooden boards removed from the houses were first placed on the ground. After the corpses were piled up, spare fuel was poured over them and then set on fire.
Looking at the black smoke rising into the sky, Andy felt a little depressed. Although he did not participate in the cleanup work in the residential area, when he finally moved the body, he saw a familiar old sheet being lifted out of the car.
.
Andy looked at the old sheet being swallowed up by the fire. He couldn't help covering his face and crying. Erica walked over and gently and tightly held his hand.
Joanna, who was standing nearby, was also affected by the atmosphere. She couldn't help but wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The four of them stood silently looking at the fire from a distance, until the flames gradually became smaller, and then everyone left.
The pickup truck drove to the white villa outpost and stopped.
Yesterday, Clyde finally connected the power supply to the electric gate. Now he only needs to start the sports car parked in the yard to open and close the gate through the remote control.
After opening the door, several people counted and confirmed that there were a lot of cans in the underground warehouse, maybe thousands of cans. Because the number was too much, at Egger's suggestion, we did not move them for the time being.
Now that they have just captured a small town, if they don't need this little can, they might as well leave it here, and the villa itself can become a permanent outpost.
Andy and Erica got out of the pickup truck and turned around to get on the bus that had been parked on the side of the road for several days.
Driving a bus is not that simple. At least among the four people in the advance team, only Andy can barely do it.
During this operation, Iger succeeded in replacing the AR-7 with the MP5 submachine gun he had fired from the police station.
That night, after dinner, everyone lit candles and chatted. With a serious expression on his face, Iger talked about his journey in the gun shop, making Joanna laugh so hard.
At this time, Andy went back to the car, took out the MP5 that he had found from the police station's gun storage, and handed it to Egg.
To be honest, Egg is very resistant to submachine guns in his heart.
Anyone who likes to play shooting games knows that submachine guns are very useless. They are not as accurate as pistols, and their range and power are not as good as assault rifles. They are almost useless except for wasting bullets.
The above are all the "game" perceptions that Egger formed under the influence of shooting games. These "common senses" about submachine guns cannot be said to be completely wrong, but they are certainly not completely right.
Practically speaking, there are indeed many submachine guns that fit this niche, but MP5 is definitely not included.
When Andy brought the MP5, Iger switched to it with some hesitation due to Erica's explanation and strong recommendation.
The next afternoon, after Iger returned to the villa, he borrowed a dummy from a clothing store as a target and practiced using MP5 in the yard of the villa.
After emptying out a magazine, Egger was full of praise for the MP5. In Egger's words, the gun's accuracy is small and stable.
What Iger didn't know was that the MP5's evaluation in the submachine gun community only had two words, "perfect".
First of all, the MP5 single shot is very accurate, even better than the AR-7. Secondly, it has a longer range and is very lethal to the human body. Finally, its recoil is very small and its shooting stability is excellent, whether it is rapid burst shooting or
Continuous rounds have very dense impact points.
The status of MP5 in submachine guns is the same as the status of AK47 in assault rifles. It is not unreasonable that it has been ranked among the top ten submachine guns in the world for decades.
The only criticism of the MP5 was its high price, so over time, the MP5 was gradually replaced by the cheaper ump, but many police stations still retain a lot of MP5 submachine guns purchased previously.
The MP5 in Egger's hand does not have any other accessories, but it is enough for him.
What surprised Egger even more was that in order to look for other tactical accessories for the MP5, he returned to the police station. While rummaging through the gun store, he found two spare magazines in a locked cabinet.
and a muffler.
The silencer is not used yet, but the spare magazine is very important. Using three magazines together, Egger can shoot 90 rounds of 9mm bullets continuously.
In order to facilitate the use of spare magazines, Iger rummaged through the police station and found an old police duty belt. After matching it with a magazine bag, Iger finally eliminated Elvira's small shoulder bag at the same time.
Pickup trucks and buses drove to the Gospel Church one after another, bringing everyone the good news that Jixi Town had been restored to a safe green zone. After hearing the news, people couldn't help but cheer.
After dinner, Iger left everyone to hold a general meeting of shareholders to discuss the next development.
The first thing at the meeting is for everyone to report on the progress of their work.
The first one to speak was Vance. He reached out and touched the back of his head and said, "There's nothing to say. It's just like that. It's over."
Vance's report was simple and clear because the results of his work were also simple and clear.
A wooden two-story house, a production greenhouse, various metal tools, and barrels of fuel brought from the gas station. Vance has done a lot of miscellaneous work during this period.
The second person to speak was Avila. She said in a unique euphemistic tone: "Well, the potato planting plan here is still going very smoothly, but so far, the results are not very good."
Iger did not interrupt her statement, but after she went around for a long time without getting to the point, she finally couldn't help but get straight to the point and asked: "What is the survival rate of potato seedlings?"
"What's the survival rate of potato seedlings?" After hesitating for a long time, Avila finally plucked up the courage to say, "Maybe, maybe, um, it's 0."
Even though Egger was mentally prepared to conduct an experimental field, he did not expect that the results would be so dismal.
"No one survived?" Egger stretched his neck involuntarily and asked Avella.
Avila nodded.
Okay, forget it, I didn’t put my expectations here originally, let’s talk about it next spring.
This time when Egger was cleaning up Jixi Town, he paid special attention to any seeds that could be planted. He didn't find any others yet, but there were a lot of potatoes. After all, everyone loves to eat potatoes, and they are durable in storage. They are just the ones in the vegetable cabinets of supermarkets.
, at least hundreds of kilograms.
This planting experiment was a failure if it failed. Overall, we gained a lot of experience.
At least Iger understands that it is not possible to just find someone to do things like "farming flow" that look rustic but are actually extremely technical.
When spring begins next year, Iger decides to prepare his own tools and start plowing the land in earnest.
I would like to open your eyes and let you see the innate farming skills of the Central Plains people.
