Chapter 37: Conspiracy

The morning sun rises in the east, and the sky gradually brightens.

The city shrouded in morning mist is still dead, and the noise of the city has vanished like a dream awakened. The once great city has just changed its posture and recreated its majesty in the image of a high death tombstone.

The streets and corners of the city are piled up with the corpses of the dead, although they were human when they were alive, but they have no life, they still rot with the garbage in the city, the decay emits a very pungent smell, sealed by the morning fog that envelops the city and cannot be dissipated, the zombies of the wanderers do not like the wet morning fog at all, and from time to time they roar, making this place more and more like hell.

Sam was dressed in a neat military uniform, standing in front of a building more than ten stories high, the ensign epaulettes on his shoulders were wiped clean by him, he looked up at this majestic and cold building, experienced the fear of death, he was obviously much more mature, and he looked extremely confident and excited under the military uniform.

More than five meters behind him, on the street, there were two black pickup trucks, both of which were wearing altered American flags, and the body was painted with the logo of the "American Western Group" army, and one of the pickup trucks had a heavy machine gun on the back bucket, and a total of eight men with rifles on their backs, including the driver.

Bill stood beside Sam, touched a scar on his cheek, leaned over, and whispered flatteringly, "Second Lieutenant, this is the most appropriate place." โ€

The building is located to the east of the bank's office, a kilometre away from the small building. With the help of a telescope, it is possible to clearly see all the movements of the survivors on the opposite side.

According to the snoopers' reports, Sam already has a general understanding of the basic situation of Jiang Sen's team.

There are at least five of them and no more than ten.

There were old men, there were women, and there were only three strong men.

They have cars, they go out every day, and they should have saved up a lot of supplies.

Both in terms of numbers and strength, the other side is at a disadvantage. In other words, Sam's chances of winning are huge, as long as he gets the weapons in the small building, the rank of second lieutenant on his shoulders will be raised, and he knows that if he wants to survive in the chaotic apocalypse, the military is the strongest attachment.

The environment can change a person very completelyโ€”โ€”โ€”โ€” compared to before the outbreak of the virus, Sam has become a different person. He has long forgotten the role of the trainer in the gym, he is no longer modest, he is no longer cautious, and he doesn't need to try his best to please women, he really enjoys the kind of cold woman pleading under his crotch now.

The smell of power is very addictive, he has always been afraid in his heart, afraid of losing this right, he knows that many people in the team are dissatisfied with his rule, and his heart has been longing for something that he does not know.

It wasn't until Alan appeared as a god that he understood that what he needed was "righteousness", that he was a weak man, that he didn't know and didn't have the ambition to raise his banner and start his own rule, and that he needed a strong ruler to formally empower him.

In the last days, the powerful Western Bloc officially recognized his power, he was going to start climbing up, this small building would be his ladder to promotion, and he even felt that he would even be promoted directly to captain when he got the weapons of the National Guard.

The address of this small building is what Bill discovered, Bill has been trying to find their shelter since he met Jiang Sen in the supermarket's receiving department, and after snooping for a while, Bill and others found that there was water in the small building, and it was likely that there was a small solar power system.

This news made Sam very excited, since the god-like Alan patronized the dirty gym, he had long wanted to find a clean and formal place, he longed for Alan to come again, but he didn't want to let the god in his heart be contaminated by the dirty gym again, this small building is a good place to entertain Alan.

The key point is that this small building is against the river, and Sam can't remember the last time he took a bath? In order to put on a clean military uniform, he used a large part of the stockpile of bottled water.

On the first floor of the gym, a group of survivors had already made it look like a zombie den, and on the second floor, there was a smell of excrement and body odor everywhere, and although he repeatedly ordered that he must dispose of feces with empty bottles, waste paper, and plastic bags, there was always some dirt left in the bathroom. There were more and more of them, and a disgusting smell permeated the entire second floor.

It's hard for Sam and his men to be interested in women, they're just too dirty. Without water washing, the surface of the skin is full of dirt, and the smell of the lower body greatly affects sexual desire. This situation has long been accustomed to wild survivors in the future world. But now, Sam's mind still retains all kinds of common sense of life in the civilized era. He had a hard time adapting and couldn't stand it.

He constantly sent his men to find new places to live. Due to the fear of encountering a large crowd of corpses, the search was limited to the vicinity.

There is water, there is electricity. Before the outbreak of the virus, this was a convenience that every city dweller could have.

Now, it is an incomparably enviable, even crazy happiness, and now this happiness is in that small building.

Sam didn't act rashly. He knew that Jiang Sen's group had obtained weapons from the National Guard, and there must have been heavy weapons in them, and now the only heavy weapon in his hand was a heavy machine gun that Allen had given him.

He had to be cautious. He had been observing Jiang Sen and the others in this building for many days, and today, he decided to act, he liked the beautiful Wang Muyan with a ponytail tied in it too much.

Suppressing the strong impulse in his heart, Sam squinted at Bill with a respectful expression and asked, "How's it going, it's all taken care of?" โ€

Bill half-bent over and said excitedly, "It's all ready!" I've almost checked the place where the zombies gather nearby, as long as these zombies are gathered together, dozens of people will never escape, the men in the small building will go into the city every day to collect supplies, we just attracted the zombies in the vicinity to deal with them, so that there are old people and women left in the small building, we will easily take it, and we just cleaned up the zombies nearby, and we will live much safer in the future! โ€

Sam nodded slowly, turned around, and glanced at the woman sitting behind the pickup, sandwiched between two strong men, with a cruel sneer on the corner of his mouth.

Seeing this, Bill walked over knowingly.

Like Luan Huan, the woman is also a gym class student. In her forties, she was very fat and average-looking, and Bill had kept her because she was going to treat her as food in the event of a food crisis. However, now he is a second lieutenant officer, directly under the AREG01 base militia regiment, and although he has not been to the AREG01 base, he knows that he can receive a stipend in the Western Group.

The woman's clothes were stripped naked, and the skin on her stomach was full of fat folds, which could not be compared with Luan Huan at all, her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was sealed with a large piece of tape, leaving only her nostrils to breathe.

Bill approached the pickup truck and made a gesture, and the strong men on either side immediately grabbed the woman's arm and dragged her out of the car. Bill checked the rope that bound the woman's wrist again, and dragged a chain from the rear of the car, which was firmly attached to the center of the knot.

The woman struggled desperately, her eyes wide, her cheeks bulging high, and her nostrils and throat making terrified "hmm" sounds. She writhed vigorously, her eyes filled with tears, and the expression on her face was sad and pitiful, obviously pleading. However, her actions more and more stimulated the man's strong desire to commit violence. They laughed, kicked with their feet, smashed with their fists, pumped with sticks, drove the women down the road and stood alone.

Different times have different zeitgeist, this zeitgeist is not a kind of intellect that can be generalized, it is more of a prejudice, a collective perceptual tendency, it will act on the human mind with an overriding suggestive force, through the unconscious, in the context of the end times, Sam thinks that this poor woman is great, and her sacrifice alone has been exchanged for Sam's promotion, so Sam leans on the electric pole on the side of the road, lights a cigarette, and watches with interest.

The woman was not as noble as Sam had considered, after all, she was the one who had to make the sacrifice, she sensed the impending danger, and turned and ran desperately, although the morning fog had dissipated, but the bloodstained road was very smooth under the moisture of the morning mist. Her hands were tied, so soon she lost her balance, her front face hit the ground directly, her entire nose was shattered, and her front few front teeth were knocked out.
