As soon as Egger proposed moving the base camp, it was like the second shoe dropped.
In fact, since we started organizing people to clean up Jixi Town, although it has never been officially mentioned, everyone has considered it, and now everyone has officially entered a big discussion.
Those who think they should continue to be in the gospel community include Vance, Fran, and Elvira, and all three of them have different reasons.
Vance couldn't bear to part with the production workshop at his home.
To be honest, it is very difficult to relocate this production workshop. First of all, there are no suitable transportation vehicles and handling tools.
Once the camp is moved to Jixi Town, it will be almost impossible to build such a production workshop.
Losing the production workshop was equivalent to ripping off a layer of Vance's skin. He was unwilling to leave no matter what.
Fran was not here, but Avila understood his thoughts very well, so she spoke for him.
The reason for Fran's unwillingness to move seems simple, but is extremely stubborn: Fran is not familiar with the forests and landforms around Jixi Town.
Many people think that social phobia only has some communication difficulties when interacting with others. In fact, it is not just that simple.
The root cause of sociophobia is excessive and irrational fear of certain objective things or situations in the outside world. In other words, it is the inability to adapt to unfamiliar environments.
So even though Fran’s reasons may not seem to be a big deal, he is actually the most determined and will not leave even if he is beaten to death.
The reason why Elvira is unwilling to change places is not complicated. She feels that the gospel church is very safe.
The security of the Evangelical Church is indeed very high.
It is located on the top of a hill next to the Gospel Community. The view from the bell tower is very good and can cover an area with a radius of several kilometers.
Due to this special geographical location, the Gospel Church is not only easy to defend but difficult to attack, but also has a particularly wide warning range. As long as there is sufficient light, it is impossible for an infected person to quietly touch the foot of the wall.
No building in Jixi Town, whether it is a residential area or a commercial area, can achieve the security of the current gospel church.
Avella is also very familiar with Jixi Town. After all, it is the closest and only small town to the gospel community, so she knows that in Jixi Town, the houses in the residential areas are generally short and the buildings in the commercial area are too dense.
These are all negative factors that will reduce the safety of the campground.
The above are the people who do not support moving camps and their reasons.
Those who support moving the camp include Iger, Andy, and Erica.
Egger's opinion is very clear, Evangelical Church is a very good camp, but it is too small for the current team.
If it is only small, it can be overcome. The Gospel Community is located in a pocket-shaped valley, and there is only one road out of the valley. This single road makes the Gospel Community extremely safe, but it also restricts its development.
The resources of the current evangelical community are about to be exhausted. As the scope of waste collection expands, transportation costs will become higher and higher.
Jixi Town is a very good place. It not only has a larger built-up area and more abundant supplies, but also has many transportation routes, which can be said to be connected in all directions. Therefore, its development potential is definitely greater than that of the Gospel Community.
Andy and Erica are willing to move the camp to Jixi Town, in large part because they originally lived in Jixi Town and have more affection for it.
Other staff have a mixed attitude towards the relocation of the camp, and they can do whatever they think will work, depending on everyone’s opinions.
After everyone explained their unwillingness and reasons for relocation, Iger felt that these were not problems, and he began to answer the solutions to these concerns one by one.
The first thing Elvira is concerned about, and what should be considered first, is the safety of the camp.
Egger briefly elaborated on this aspect. He told everyone that the core of the security mentioned by Avella should actually be described as "geographical advantage."
Since ancient times, natural geographical advantages have been an important reliance and barrier for people's defense.
However, with the development of science and technology, geographical advantages are not only natural ones, but also can be created through artificial construction and transformation in places where there were no geographical advantages.
This is called "the geographical advantage is not as good as the people".
Jixi Town has an irreplaceable advantage in that it can restore power supply.
For modern society and modern technology, obtaining power guarantee means that a large number of tools can be restored to use. Not to mention many, Vance's workshop can operate 24 hours a day without the need for portable generator power.
If towns are properly utilized, they can build huge camps. For example, they can use scrapped cars as wall materials to close redundant intersections, set up night lights on the periphery of towns to improve nighttime safety, build movable roadblocks in towns, and set up sound decoys.
, Blade Trap, etc.
With time and everyone's hard work, Jixi Town can be transformed into a fortress.
In that case, the safety factor of Jixi Town would be much higher than that of the Evangelical Church.
After Egger said this, everyone felt that this suggestion sounded quite implementable, and if it could be completed according to the blueprint described by Egger, it would definitely be better than being crowded into a small country church like now.
Then, Egger talked about the second important issue, which is also the key core of the above plan, which is the relocation of Vance's workshop.
"Uncle Vance, relocating your workshop is no longer a problem, we can easily handle it now." Egg said to Vance, "We found two usable heavy-duty vehicles at the fire station in Jixi Town yesterday.
, one of which is a fire tow truck."
In addition to a huge flat tail panel, the fire tow truck also has a movable boom. With the fire tow truck, it is easy to move Vance's workshop.
As for the question Fran raised, to be honest, the root of the problem lies with Fran himself. He is a mentally ill patient with a real medical certificate.
Iger is not a psychiatrist, and even if a psychiatrist comes, the disease probably cannot be cured. It is impossible for Iger to arrest Fran and use "one hundred thousand volts" for electrotherapy.
So in Fran's case, Egger could only find another way.
Egger said to Avella: "Fran's concerns can be easily solved. After we moved out of the Gospel Church, we did not abandon it. It can be used as an outpost for him. But we will definitely welcome Fran to return to Jixi Town regularly.
Base camp.”
Iger defused the opposition in a few words. After seeing that no one had anything to say, Iger formally submitted the proposal to Father Locke.
Father Locke sighed. In fact, emotionally speaking, he was unwilling to leave this country church that he had built with his own hands.
Father Locke has lived here for 40 years, and he knows every wood grain in the church and every weed in the yard.
But as Egger said, the evangelical church is too small, and the evangelical community is too small.
During this time, Father Locke and Sister Maria were often calculating the food reserves. The team's food was getting less and less. No matter how they calculated, they would not be able to survive this winter.
In the gospel community, even if we can transport food back from outside this time, what about the next time, and the next time?
Father Locke quickly made a decision. He solemnly said to everyone: "I agree with Egger's proposal. In order to achieve better development in the future, we should move the base camp to Jixi Town."
