Chapter 67: Worry
Camp Woodbury.
Governor Philip sat in his office, glass of red wine in hand, staring at the pistol on the table, lost in thought.
For the first time in months, they spotted the helicopter, and while they didn't track exactly where it landed, he was thrilled to find that there were still people who could use this advanced means of transport.
Philip could imagine what it would be like to get his hands on the helicopter and the pilots inside, for his power, for Woodbury.
Unfortunately, after entering the forest, the speed of the car was greatly reduced, and it was no longer possible to continue tracking the helicopter.
"Well, does anyone know anything special near that forest?"
The Governor's expression was rather calm, as if he had just asked unintentionally.
Martin held the baseball bat in his hand and scratched his head in some distress, he was just a big-headed soldier, it was okay to let him fight and kill zombies, but let him do something else, it would seem powerless.
Several other subordinates in the office also did not answer, until there was silence for nearly a minute, and a strong black man with strange tattoos on his body said something a little embarrassed.
"There seems to be a prison over there, and my uncle seems to have served his sentence there, but I haven't been to see him, so I don't know where it is."
Hearing this, the Governor immediately became interested, he stood up and walked to the side of the strong black man, patted him on the shoulder with a very kind expression, and asked:
"It's okay Gail, just tell me everything you know."
Being treated so kindly by the boss, Gail, a black strong man, was a little excited, he tried to recall for a few seconds, and said:
"5 years ago, my uncle had no money to take drugs, so he found a fat sheep on the street, but he didn't expect that the guy was very uncooperative, and finally my uncle stabbed him twice, and a passing policeman saw it and sent him to prison."
"My mom kept urging me to go see him, but I didn't have much interest in him as a rotten person, that is, he taught me to take drugs, took me to steal things, and always wanted to take the big head, and didn't pay back the money, he was a hopeless bastard."
Philip's face twitched, and Gail hurriedly said:
"But once, I heard my mom say that the prison was not far from the interstate, probably a few kilometers away from where we last entered."
"My uncle was imprisoned there for two years, and when he came out, I don't know who he provoked, he was cut off his waist and cornea, or I went to collect his corpse."
Governor Philip maintained a kind smile on his face, he was not interested in the criminal history of his family, and after thinking about it, he said to his most effective officer, Martin:
"Martin, you and Gale go look in the forest over there and see if we can find the prison."
"Be careful, bring a weapon, don't expose yourself, and if you find anything special, come back and tell me sooner."
Martin turned the baseball bat in his hand into a stick and nodded at the Governor, as a veteran who often followed the Governor out on missions, he was very adaptable to the wild environment and was not afraid to go out.
Looking at the backs of the two departing, Governor Philip dismissed the rest of his men and sat back in his office chair.
In any case, if there is a chance to get more advanced equipment, he will not be stingy with the lives of his subordinates, and he will definitely find a way to fight it.
From the beginning of the disaster to the present, he has relied on the small to broaden, dare to fight, and constantly devour those small camps, so as to establish this large camp with a number of nearly 100 people.
He believed that in the current world, there are few people who can do this like him, and in this apocalyptic world, he is the strongest.
On the other side of the prison, Axel, Oscar, and O'Neill were gathering together and whispering discussions.
After enjoying a hearty lunch at noon, they also communicated with the rest of the Glenn team and collected a lot of information.
Axel found that the other warriors were ordinary people who were very easy to get along with, and they were not as brutal and terrifying as the boss named Leon.
Thinking of the two companions who were executed at will, Axel couldn't help but shudder, everyone was locked up in the same place for more than half a year, no matter what kind of person they were, they would have some feelings, although Link and Connie were not good people, but Axel felt that it was too brutal to shoot these two living people to death just through one contact and some past crimes.
Axel whispered to the two:
"We'll have to live with them in the future, so be careful not to offend the boss named Leon."
"He has supreme authority here, he can do whatever he wants, and no one dares to stop him."
Oscar had a sad face, and he said with an ugly expression:
"I've inquired with others, and now outside, all the cities, all the villages, all the human beings have become the ghost they are now, and more than 99% of the human beings are dead and have become man-eating monsters."
"There is no army, no government, eight months later, my wife and children must have died."
"Damn, what the hell is going on, why did the world become the way it is."
O'Neal, the big man, patted Oscar on the shoulder and told him what he had found.
"I've inquired, and the organization we're joining now is called Umbrella Company, and they also follow the same operating model in the old era, as long as they obediently help them work, they can get a place to live, food, and a salary."
"That guy named Leon, the boss of our company, I heard that he is a very powerful person, and he can kill dozens of such monsters head-on by himself."
"They all say that the world outside is very dangerous now, a few people can't survive outside at all, there are zombies everywhere, and our umbrella company is the safest place."
"There are doctors, there is food, there are advanced equipment, and it is said that in their base, there is a normal supply of water and electricity."
"Mr. Glenn told me that our organization is humanity's last hope, and that only the Umbrella Corporation can research an antidote to the zombie virus."
"Everything we do is for the reconstruction and continuation of human civilization."
The big man O'Neill scratched his head and said:
"I don't really understand what he said, but perhaps, this organization is not as dangerous as we see, it's just that the boss called Lyon has a bad personality."
Axel comfortingly patted Oscar on the shoulder, and also patted his good friend O'Neill on the shoulder, and said:
"No matter what happens to the umbrella company, we don't have the ability to resist him, let's work honestly, I heard that they are still willing to take in the elderly and children, think about it, such an organization will not be bad."
Axel peeked left and right, took out half a bottle of brandy and some jerky from his pocket, and quietly took out a few more glasses, and poured a large glass for O'Neill and Oscar.
"At least their food is good, I've drunk this brandy before, at least $1,000 a bottle, and I used to be reluctant to drink like this."
Oscar picked up the wine glass, looked at the mellow wine inside, thought that he might have lost his wife and children, took a big sip, and said:
"We have nothing left to lose but this life."
"Can the world get any worse?"
