Chapter 205 The twelve-person team sets off!
"Very good!"
Gavin's words immediately drew cheers from Winnie. Although the little girl's dream was to have a horse named Gavin, it was undeniable that she adored furry little animals.
As Winnie shouted, not far away, Eugene, with his legs crossed, pursed his lips and yelled at Gavin.
"Boss, with so many furry creatures, won't the house be overflowing with cat and dog hair?!"
"Huh?"
Upon hearing Eugene's words, Martin paused slightly, then nudged Eugene's shin and chuckled.
"Eugene, I didn't know you and Horst had become so close. Is it just because you're kindred spirits?"
"What kind of 'fellow traveler'? I don't like cat or dog hair, what does that have to do with Horst?"
Eugene yelled at Martin in annoyance, while Martin grinned and turned to Horst, who was staring blankly at the animals not far away.
"No matter how much cat and dog hair there is, it's the cleaning staff who should be worried. What are you worried about? Aren't you worried that Horst will be too busy in the future?"
"Ah—Mazefak, you're absolutely right!"
Reminded by Martin, Eugene was stunned on the spot. He quickly waved to Sean with a grin, signaling Sean and his group to bring the animals to the middle of the hall. He then went to the dog and laughed as he rubbed it haphazardly, shaking its fur all over the floor!
Not far away, Horst was completely stunned as he watched the animal hair scattered on the ground!
He opened his mouth wide in pain, then looked at Gavin with a helpless expression.
However, Gavin did not respond, because Gavin is also a cat lover, and he keeps a total of eight cats and three dogs in his house in downtown Dallas.
Unfortunately, they couldn't bring any of the cats and dogs along, and Gavin couldn't possibly risk taking his crew to pick up a group of animals.
As for now, looking at the cats and dogs all over the ground, before Gavin could respond, Winnie grabbed his wrist and whispered.
"Boss, don't send those cuties away! I can help with the cleaning. There are so many of us now, it's really too much work for Horst to clean all by himself!"
"Yes, boss, cleaning the manor is a punishment for Horst, but the manor is too big and the number of people in the camp has increased, so it's too difficult for him to do it all by himself."
At the distant gate, Thomas returned to the manor with eleven men and spoke to Gavin from a distance.
It was getting dark, and they had already reached their limit by now.
As soon as they got home, four people from the logistics department rushed out and ran to the middle of the cats, grabbing those cats that were so docile that they were irresistible and started teasing them.
Gavin paused for a moment, then asked with amusement, looking at Hela, who was playing with the cat.
"Hela, you actually took two children to farm?"
That's right, among the four people rushing towards the cats and dogs at this moment were Hela and the two children she was with, one black and one white.
Hearing Gavin's question, Hela smiled gently, then knelt down, hugged the cat, and looked up at Gavin.
"Eldest child, children are different from adults; they are very confused about the future and need more guidance."
.
"Even though we adults are sad, we still know what to do and roughly understand why we should do it."
"But the children can't, so I take the children and everyone else to do things together, treating it as a game for the children while getting them used to life on the manor."
"I believe this will definitely benefit the children. After all, our children will no longer need to go to university or study for credits. They will only need to survive, live better, and live longer!"
At this point, Hela smiled gently and reached out to pat the two little devils on the head.
The two children, the one in black, continued playing with the cat, while the one in white looked up at Gavin with a confused expression.
Meeting the children's confused gaze, Gavin pondered for a moment, then got up and came to the children.
Gavin squatted down and rubbed the white-skinned kid's head before continuing.
"From now on, all underage children in the camp must adopt an animal, and can choose from all the animals we have."
"In addition, adults who are interested in animal companions can also adopt them. Those interested should act quickly!"
Gavin couldn't help but laugh at this point.
The existence of animal companions can definitely soothe the hearts of a considerable number of people.
Humans are animals that are extremely afraid of loneliness. No matter how well humans get along, there will always be something hidden between them. And that hidden thing can very likely turn into pressure and create trouble.
But animals are different; these adorable creatures that can't speak can truly become a source of emotional support for most people.
His suggestion piqued the interest of most of the people present!
Martin immediately chose the relatively youngest Doberman Pinscher.
As a hunter, he had a natural affinity for dogs, since they had always been excellent hunting partners.
Besides Martin, fisherman Kelvin had his eye on the golden retriever Bruce. Not long after Kelvin finished speaking, he pounced on the golden retriever, hugged the naturally enthusiastic dog, and tried to pull it into his room.
Watching Kelvin grab the golden retriever and leave, Nikita on the sofa was so shocked that her mouth dropped open. She quickly called out to Kelvin.
"Wait, Kelvin, why did you choose the blond guy?!"
"What's wrong, sister-in-law? Is there something wrong with this golden retriever?"
Kelvin explained, somewhat confused.
"You know, I love fishing, and Golden Retrievers are one of the best water dogs. If I take Bruce fishing, he'll be a great help!"
"But Bruce is my dog, he was a gift from my mother, I—you—anyway, you can't adopt him. I can lend you Bruce while you're fishing!"
Nikita rolled her eyes in frustration. Having never taken Bruce fishing before, Nikita had no idea how tempting an excellent water retriever could be for an angler.
Golden Retrievers are even better swimmers than Labradors and possess exceptional fishing skills.
Throw a golden retriever into the river, and it can catch big fish on its own—what an irresistible temptation!
However, after hearing Nikita's words, the fisherman Kelvin had no choice but to reluctantly release the golden retriever, letting the big dog continue to jump around him.
The act of dividing the animals clearly ignited the enthusiasm of most of the workers, and until the end of dinner, many of them were still walking around the manor with their pets.
Fortunately, these cats are all very well-behaved, ridiculously so. I don't know how that pet shop trained them, but there aren't many cats meowing in the manor.
Gavin, while checking the mission board, discovered that there were many new special resource requests.
Those special supplies are—cat food, litter boxes, and canned cat food, etc.
"Haha~"
In high spirits, Gavin explained the tasks for the next day to his men and then drifted off to sleep with Nikita.
After waking up, the two played a game of cards early in the morning, tidied themselves up, and then sat down at the breakfast table again.
After the meal, the logistics staff continued their work under Thomas's leadership.
Yesterday afternoon, Thomas had only cultivated about 90 acres of the farmland he needed, which was more than halfway to his target. They still had a lot to do.
Gavin, along with his office and field staff, began assigning tasks for the day.
Looking at the large group of guys in front of him, Gavin was the first to speak and ask a question.
"Everyone who can fly a helicopter, raise your hand!"
Faced with Gavin's question, Sean, Steve, Old Feng, and Edward immediately raised their hands.
After a moment's thought, Nicholas slowly raised his hand and said, "Boss, I think I'm about ready for a test flight. I—"
"You're not good enough yet, kid. Your course isn't finished. I'm your coach, and I know exactly what level you're all at!"
Sean interrupted Nicholas and then turned to Gavin.
"Boss, Nicholas is absolutely out of the question. He has less than half an hour of test flight experience. I only allowed him to take off and land once in Houston!"
"By the way, how many pilots do you need? Four aren't enough? I'm already quite surprised that Edward can fly a helicopter."
At this point, Sean turned to Edward and patted him on the shoulder.
Edward, feeling slightly weak in the knees, slapped Sean's hand away.
Jennifer has a really good physique, but Edward is not to be outdone. The two played nine hands of cards, and Edward couldn't help but feel weak in the knees.
However, he wouldn't show his vulnerability; instead, he smiled and said to Sean.
"Sean, I'm from SEAL Team Six. Special forces training includes special flight piloting. It's difficult for me to fly fighter jets, but helicopters are no problem. In that respect, I'm about the same as Feng, right, Feng?"
"Uh, wait a minute, I'm not a special forces soldier. I learned to fly helicopters in Hawaii!"
Old Feng quickly waved his hand, denying Edward's statement.
Upon hearing this, Edward was slightly taken aback.
"Hawaii?"
He said with a hint of disbelief.
"They teach helicopter piloting over there? Are you sure you're not kidding? I thought you were some kind of night owl—"
"Ha, no, no, how could I be one of those idiots? Believe me, I'm just a cook, not as good as you, really~"
Old Feng quickly interrupted Edward, chuckling as he rubbed the back of his head.
Gavin gave Old Feng a deep look before giving his instructions.
"Today, we're sending twelve people in a civilian transport helicopter to Shepard Military Base, where we'll transfer them to three Black Hawk helicopters and head towards Ranch 6666!"
"This is the main task of the field team today. Apart from these twelve people, the other field team members will form their own groups to continue exploring the manor town or retrieving floating corpses from the lake."
"Feng, since Edward can fly helicopters, you can stay home and continue the office work with the staff."
"The main task of the office staff is to inspect and repair the barbed wire fence that stretches for tens of kilometers around the farm!"
""
"As for the twelve people heading to Shepard Air Force Base, there are three pilots: Sean, Edward, and Steve."
"Once we get the three Black Hawks, the remaining nine will be divided into three groups. I'll start the grouping process now."
"Eugene's team, members Abraham and Anthony, you will follow Edward's plane."
"Martin's team, members Adriana and Wang Ling, you will follow Steve's plane."
"I'm leading a team, with Nikita and Diana as team members. We're traveling on Sean's plane."
"Remember your assigned groups and your respective pilots. The security situation at Shepard Air Force Base is currently unclear. Under no circumstances should there be any disturbances at the military base!"
"That's settled then. The remaining fieldwork will be divided into groups by Madison and Father Hogan. At least three field workers will remain at home to maintain sentry duty and camp security. Got it?"
"No problem, boss!"
In an instant, dozens of people, both field and office staff, all raised their right hands to Gavin.
Seeing this, Gavin nodded expressionlessly, then waved his right hand and pointed upstairs.
"Set off!"
At this point, all eleven people heading to Shepard Military Base followed Gavin toward the stairs.
As they walked toward the stairs, at the entrance to the broadcasting room on the third floor, ZT bent over, leaned against the railing of the corridor, raised his right hand high, and shouted to Gavin and his group.
"May your lives be spectacular, and your deaths swift and painless, boss!"
"For the future of humanity!"
Gavin said without turning his head, then strode up to the rooftop.
After everyone arrived at the rooftop, Sean was the first to rush to the helicopter, patted the largest helicopter, and said.
"Boss, the H175 is a real gem; it's a huge plane with eighteen seats!"
"Once we bring back the Black Hawk, we can try to bring back this kind of large aircraft that can carry more than ten people."
"Um.
Gavin nodded slightly as he listened to Sean's words.
The H175 is indeed a collectible item. Just three or four of these large helicopters with high carrying capacity are enough to transport the entire camp.
Thinking of this, Gavin said softly.
"Our situation today is a bit special, mainly because we need to make time to get to Ranch 6666 as soon as possible."
"A team of more than a dozen people. If we were fewer people, we might not be able to control them."
"Once we've settled things with the 6666 Ranch team, you pilots will form a three- or four-person squad and head to Shepard's military base on your own."
"When the time comes, you can fly a small civilian helicopter over and exchange it for three or four large military helicopters. That would be a very profitable deal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gavin was the first to step into the cabin.
The group followed Gavin into the cabin of H175 and found their seats.
Inside the cockpit, Sean laughed as he put on his headphones and addressed the crowd.
"Guys, fasten your seatbelts, Captain Sean is about to take off!"
Hearing Sean's words, Wang Ling nervously tightened her seatbelt.
She had only ever been in a helicopter once in her life, and that was when Gavin took her back to the camp!
Now that she's taking off in a helicopter again, how could Wang Ling not be nervous!
Noticing Wang Ling's nervousness, Diana took a deep breath and then drew a Hallelujah on her chest.
Nikita raised her hand, gently pressed the back of Wang Ling's hand, and said to Wang Ling with a smile.
"Don't worry, honey, Sean's a professional, and so are Edward and Steve."
"I know, I'm not worried. I'm just a little afraid of heights, just a tiny bit, it's fine!"
In response to Nikita's words of comfort, Wang Ling responded bravely. Then, her face pale, she continued to grip the seatbelt tightly.
Gavin glanced at Wang Ling, then continued looking at the map in his hand.
As for the four women on the plane, he brought them along on purpose.
After all, Gavin's goal is the 6666 ranch.
What could be more effective in showcasing the positive atmosphere of Camp Gavin than the lifestyle of the women?
