Chapter Eighty-Three: The Terminal and Fort Benning
Looking at the two girls eating dessert with happy expressions on their faces, Leon also showed a knowing smile.
He didn't be polite to the girls, walked to the table of two, reached out and picked up the largest chocolate cake, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in a few bites, and under the girl's snickering eyes, he said:
"Maggie, how are the materials for spring ploughing collected?"
The girl swallowed a mouthful of cream, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, and then said with some distress:
"Everyone in the search team has worked very hard, and the farm machinery, farm tools, and fertilizer have been collected almost, but it may be that time has passed too long, and I have searched several agricultural warehouses, but I have not found a large number of qualified crop seeds."
"I discussed it with my father, and he said that if we can't find so many seeds, we can only plant fewer crops this year and save the grain harvested in the autumn as seeds for next year."
Leon nodded, he was a complete layman and didn't know anything about farming.
However, now, most packaged foods are still within the expiration date, and as long as you search the large supermarkets or warehouses in the city a few times, you don't have to worry about the lack of food in the next few years.
Moreover, the plantation plan is also a long-term and core project, which should not be rushed, but should lay a good foundation and expand step by step.
The three of them ate dessert and chatted about homely things, and at the end, Maggie asked with some embarrassment:
"Mr. Custer, can I ask you for one thing?"
Leon glanced at the smiling Amy, with a kind smile on his face, and replied:
"What's wrong? Maggie, if there is anything you need help with, your family has helped me a lot, and I should repay you. ”
Maggie is not the kind of girl who is very squeamish and pretentious, and after listening to Leon's words, she showed a bright smile and said:
"Thank you, Mr. Custer."
"It's my sister Beth!"
"She doesn't want to stay in Oak Village anymore, she wants to come to this base to find a job, I want you to arrange a better position for her."
Leon recalled that Maggie's sister, the cute little girl, was called the most beautiful girl in the whole show by many netizens.
To be honest, he doesn't have much interest, he likes the capable, characterful, and well-figured royal sister beauties, not these innocent and romantic little girls.
After a little thought, he spoke:
"No problem, I'll leave this matter to Amy, she's your good friend, and she'll definitely find an easy and safe job for Beth."
Maggie glanced at Amy, who was pretending to be reserved, and suddenly showed a flattering smile.
Looking at the two girls playing on the sofa, the seductive body full of youthful atmosphere, time slipped away in a blink of an eye
In the afternoon, Leon arrives at the Armed Machinery Training School, finds the Peggy siblings, and gives them an important mission.
"Investigate the terminus of a railroad near the prison stronghold?"
Sherman touched his chin and asked, a little confused:
"Mr. Custer, why do you suddenly want to scout the information there!"
"The prison base over there is quite far away from us, and it will take ten hours to come and go."
Peggy, who was standing beside him, was not at all accustomed to this younger brother, stood on tiptoe and slapped him on the head, and said:
"The boss told us to investigate, we went to investigate, why do you ask so much?"
She snorted lightly at her younger brother, who was covering her head aggrievedly and didn't dare to respond, turned her head to look at Leon expectantly, and said:
"Boss, are you going to go on this mission with us too?"
Leon touched the girl's head with some embarrassment, and said comfortingly:
"The company has been busy lately, but if you do find useful information, I'll go with you."
A few days later, Leon suddenly got two pieces of good news.
One is the terminal station for the Peggy siblings to investigate, and it was found, in a station more than twenty kilometers away from the prison stronghold, which is not only safe, but also has a group of survivors living inside.
According to the intelligence collected by the drone, there are about 30 survivors in this group, some old and some young, and they are currently living a peaceful life.
Leon took note of this information and planned to bring people to recruit the survivors in a few days.
The other piece of good news was that one of the survivors recruited from the prison stronghold a few days ago had provided information on weaponry.
Several of them were refugees who had escaped from the Fort Benning military base.
According to their sources, Fort Benning was originally the largest military base in Georgia Asia, housing nearly 10,000 professional soldiers.
But the virus came too suddenly, and in just one night, more than 90% of the soldiers were infected with the virus and fell into a state of high fever and confusion and unable to take care of themselves.
But at the beginning of the apocalypse, everyone didn't know about this virus, and it was hard for them to imagine how friends and relatives who were just sick suddenly turned into hideous and terrifying zombies, pounced on them, tore their flesh and blood, and took their lives.
Therefore, in just a few days, there was violent upheaval all over the world, riots, fleeing, looting, fighting each other.
It was at that time that all official organizations suffered unimaginable damage and were almost completely paralyzed.
The same is true of the Fort Benning military base, where the soldiers could not have imagined that their former comrades-in-arms and respectable commanders, who had been brothers-in-arms and respected commanders, had suddenly become murderous monsters and began to slaughter all living people indiscriminately.
After the initial chaos, the remaining soldiers made up their minds to put aside the shackles of emotion and kill all the zombies in the base, leaving less than 1,000 soldiers with less than 1,000 soldiers.
But before they had time to recuperate, they received an order from their superiors to turn the entire Fort Benning military base into a huge refugee shelter for the entire state of Georgia.
However, things did not go as smoothly as expected, even though these soldiers relied on powerful weapons to block the swarming corpses, but among the refugees they took in, there were always many infected people who were bitten by zombies and did not report them.
These infected, who can turn into zombies at any time, cause more casualties and chaos in the huge refugee camp all the time.
But after the military killed all the wounded survivors in defiance of the obstacles, the military quickly pushed the refugees to the opposite side and turned into a tense and guarded antagonism.
However, as time passed, the military, which had lost its chain of command, became more and more powerless to resist the endless hordes of corpses that swarmed across the country, their orders frequently went wrong, and all kinds of supplies were on the verge of depletion, unable to reach military bases across the country.
All the military refugee camps are on the verge of collapse.
However, at this moment, I don't know which brain-dead person in power actually issued the order to indiscriminately slaughter all the survivors in the refugee camp, for fear that they would turn into zombies after death and strengthen the enemy's strength.
Of course, this is only a reason circulating among survivors, and it is not very credible.
However, as the order spread, all the military refugee camps fell into chaos, and the relationship between soldiers and refugees became a keg of explosives.
Some of the professional soldiers chose to carry out the orders from above and began to massacre the refugees, and some of the soldiers could not accept the condemnation of their inner morality and became deserters.
The refugees who got the news could not be arrested, they chose to resist desperately or run away quietly, and many extreme survivors even directly opened the fence against the corpses, attracting zombies, in an attempt to die together.
In this way, the fierce internal struggle and the powerful external threat caused almost all the camp to be overwhelmed by huge corpses in a very short period of time.
Not only did Aamerica lose a large number of professional soldiers, but even the survivors who had fled to the camps suffered unimaginable losses.
Fort Benning, Georgia, as a refugee camp ruled by the military, also fell for this reason.
After hearing the news, even Leon, who was a traverser, inevitably fell into a short period of sluggishness.
Even the well-informed man was shocked by the military's suffocating operation.
But whatever the truth, the fact that Fort Benning fell is there, as the largest military base in the whole of Georgia Asia, and the notoriously wealthy America, there must be an unimaginable supply of high-end equipment and ammunition, enough to support the consumption of a small international war.
This is a huge experience package that is a surprise for umbrella companies that lack munitions and equipment.
However, as the leader of an organization, nothing can be decided lightly, everything is based on intelligence.
After all, the experience pack is there, and it won't run away for no reason, everything has to be considered in the long run.
After rewarding the new employee with a large bonus for providing information, Leon gathered his squad leaders and discussed the two pieces of information in detail.
In the end, it was concluded that the terminal could send someone over and solve it quickly.
And there must be countless corpses gathered on the side of Fort Benning, with the strength of their umbrella company, there is no need to fight with them, you can use a war of attrition to slowly consume the zombies there, or you can use the strategy of luring the enemy to lure away the corpses there.
But in any case, in recent times, in addition to those construction tasks that require busyness, they have another combat mission that requires a large number of manpower.
A few days later, after arranging the affairs of the base, Leon arrived at the prison base in Tennessee with a small team of guards.
Unexpectedly, after coming here, Kevela didn't even prepare to greet him, but only lightly informed him on the radio that she was busy with affairs and asked Leon to find her in the office by himself.
For the red-haired girl's behavior, he is not surprised, Kevela is originally a woman with a lot of personality, and what kind of relationship is with him, do you still want to be angry about this little thing?
However, Leon was not in a hurry to find Kevila, and after sending his accompanying guards, he began to wander around the prison stronghold, observing the changes that had taken place in the past month.
Counting the sixty or seventy survivors of Woodburyd, plus the Glenn team he dispatched, and some logistics personnel sent over later, the total number of people in this stronghold was close to one hundred and fifty.
Even in this apocalypse, it can be regarded as a large community, and compared to the mountain village that appeared later, the kingdom of God does not promise much.
After some inspection, Leon discovers that the red-haired girl Kevela is in good hands.
Not only was the metal mesh fence in the prison reinforced, but also a moat pit with a depth of about 1.5 meters was dug around the perimeter of the outer wall, which can effectively prevent vehicles from hitting the metal mesh wall, and it will not appear again, and the governor used a tank to overturn the prison wall in the plot.
Not only that, Kevira also made full use of the existing resources around the prison stronghold, not only planted vegetables and fruits in the courtyard outside the prison, raised some chickens and ducks, and even saw a small pig pen and three fat little white pigs.
Lumberyards, fishing nets, hunting squads, watchtowers, patrols, you name it.
So many jobs, so many projects, even for those survivors who came from Woodbury, everybody was assigned to the job.
No wonder when he entered the prison, everyone he saw was busy with his own affairs, there was no fear or confusion on his face, it was obvious that it was the fulfilling work that made them forget all their troubles.
The changes here made Leon secretly frightened, worthy of a rich girl who received an elite education since she was a child, even as a manager, it is easy to manage her subordinates in an orderly manner.
Fortunately, this beautiful woman is not only his defeated subordinate, his right-hand man, but also his little wife and his confidante.
If it were a man, Leon should consider whether such a capable subordinate should be entrusted with important tasks.
After the round, Leon went to the room of the former prison warden alone, and saw Cavira, wearing a slim white lady's suit, red hair tied up in the back of her head, and a pair of small black-rimmed glasses.
This woman was full of seriousness, meticulously handling official business, and when she saw Leon coming in, she only glanced at it casually, and said with a slight mockery on her lips:
"Hehe, here's a bastard who likes to steal food, Peggy's little girl, it tastes good!"
Ask for a monthly pass, ask for a reward, ask for a subscription,
