After two days in the prison stronghold, Gray and his team visit the prison meeting point, but things don't go as smoothly as Leon had imagined.

There are more than 30 survivors in the terminal camp, but only nearly half of them are willing to join the umbrella company and become his employees, they are all wanderers who have only come to the terminal in the last two or three months, and they don't have much relationship with Gray.

The other half of the people, including Gray and his mother, a dozen survivors, were friends who had been together since the beginning of the troubled times, helping each other, and having a deep affection for each other, none of whom wanted to leave the terminal camp and accept the shackles of another organization, lose their freedom, and go to live in other places.

This reason made Leon a little helpless, and it is true that the Amerians admired freedom, and could even risk their lives for the sake of freedom.

The reason why the umbrella company has been able to develop to the current point is largely because at the beginning of the end of the world, ordinary people's fear of unknown monsters and the concept of civilization have not yet declined in their hearts, so that the company has recruited a group of capable core employees at the initial stage.

After thinking for a long time, with the witness of the local manager Kevila, Leon and Gray reached an agreement.

The Umbrella Corporation and Gray's camp have reached a cooperative relationship, where they can take all kinds of materials they can search for to the prison in exchange for contribution points, and then use these contribution points to exchange for the resources they want.

Scarce resources such as medicines, weapons, and food can be exchanged for contribution points, and even if you are injured, you can use contribution points to get medical assistance here.

In addition, Lyon also proposed an external employment system, that is, Gray and other collaborators could be temporarily hired as temporary workers to work for the local base, without restricting their personal freedom, and were paid according to their ability to work, and their wages were paid daily.

Of course, the income is certainly much lower than that of the internal employees of the umbrella, but if they have nothing to do, or when they can't find resources, working as a temporary worker in a prison base is also a safe and convenient way to make extra money, isn't it?

Sending Gray away, Leon leaned back on the leather couch and fell into thought, this recruitment at the terminal also reminded him that when facing other camps in the future, simple recruitment may not be as effective as it used to be.

After all, the longer they stay in these last days, the deeper the bonds between the people of those small camps become, and their unique relationships have formed, and some have become as close as family.

There are even some leaders in small camps who do not want their people to join other organizations, and will not only obstruct them, but even bring the survivors of the entire force to turn against them and form a hostile relationship.

At this time, a partnership similar to Camp Gray becomes another option.

Exchanging cheap resources or scarce supplies for the support and labor of these small, isolated camps, and turning them into alliances is also a means of development.

As long as the Umbrella Company is always much stronger than them, even if it becomes an alliance like an alliance, they will always be in the driver's seat, controlling the power of the entire alliance, and finally gradually annexing these small forces.

Moreover, the preferential treatment of the umbrella company is incomparable to those small forces, everyone yearns for a more comfortable life, and the people who are willing to join their umbrella company must be the majority.

Leon's mind raced and he began to think about the feasibility of these things.

However, this kind of partnership is too simple now, there are many loopholes, and after Leon decides to return to the base, he must plan carefully and find some experts in this area to talk to, even if he encounters medium-sized forces or even large forces in the future, he can be prepared in advance.

After Gray's group visited, Leon took Kevira to see them off, and before parting, he reminded the kind young man a few words.

"Mr. Gray, as a collaborator, although I admire your kindness and nobility very much, I still have to remind you that the survivors who are still wandering outside at this time have more or less human blood and zombie blood and life on their hands."

"They're not good at stubble."

"Not every survivor is a good person, many desperate people have fallen and become beasts with no bottom line, they fear the strong, despise the weak, encounter those who are weaker than them, kill, rape, rob, enslave, do all kinds of evil."

"In just half a year, more than 100 such raiders have died at our hands,"

Leon beckoned his men to bring him a set of radio communication devices and a matching solar charging system, and handed them to Gray.

"You are few in number and have little combat experience, so if you encounter difficulties that are difficult to solve, you can contact us by radio."

"Although there will be a corresponding fee, our organization will never die in the face of good survivors."

Gray was a little shocked and moved by Leon's persuasion, and he solemnly accepted the radio communication device, expressed his gratitude, and said that he would become a sincere partner of the umbrella company in the future.

After finishing the terminal business, Leon stayed in the prison stronghold for two more days, and every night after dark, he had to do everything in his power to make up for the debt of the long-term separation from the red-haired girl, until she cried and begged for mercy.

By the time he returned to the Umbrella Base with his entourage of guards, the Peggy siblings, and a dozen newly recruited survivors, it had been five days since he left.

After secretly making an appointment with Peggy to reward her for her hard work in the evening, Leon returned to his office.

After turning on the computer and dealing with some backlog of government affairs, before he could sit on his ass, Amy took Colonel William and came to the office to find him.

After a little greeting, the old-fashioned middle-aged officer said without delay:

"General, my scouts have conducted a preliminary reconnaissance of the Fort Benning military base."

"According to the results of our investigation, the Fort Benning military base covers an area of about 185 square kilometers, and the perimeter is very strong and well defended."

"However, those soldiers stationed there must have used heavy weapons such as artillery during the defense, causing a loud noise, attracting all the zombies in the vicinity, and we detected that the number of zombies in the surrounding area is very scarce, and they left their area and gathered all of them at Fort Benning."

"According to our observations, at least more than 300,000 zombies have gathered inside Fort Benning."

"They have all entered the walls of the military base, scattered in various facilities within the base, because of the difficult terrain, I am afraid it is difficult to use noise to lure them out."

Leon frowned slightly when he heard this, he originally thought that there were only forty or fifty thousand zombies in Fort Benning at most, but what he didn't expect was that the number of zombies there actually exceeded 300,000, and they were all trapped within the walls of the base, and they could not use tricky sound inducements or ambush traps to lure them to the open area for strangulation.

With such a large number of zombies, it's really a bit difficult to deal with.

Leon felt a very headache.

If they are killed only by bullets and artillery, then even if all the old bottoms in the base are taken out, the number is estimated to be insufficient, and if this happens, it will seriously affect the progress of other projects.

He leaned back in his seat and lit a cigar for himself, relieving the boredom in his heart, knowing that William, an old-school soldier, did not smoke, so he did not give it to him.

"How's the ammunition stockpile?"

"Is there enough ammunition? Didn't get shipped out, did you? ”

Colonel William's expression was serious, and he replied, looking straight ahead:

"Probably not, General."

"My soldiers used flesh and blood camouflage to enter the base and conduct preliminary reconnaissance."

"Although many areas and underground bases require security doors to enter, we have not seen any signs of large convoys entering and exiting."

"The good news, though, is that even within the ground limits of the base, we have found a large number of guns, weapons, bombs and ammunition that have been left behind, enough to arm more than 1,000 men, and these soldiers who died in battle should have been carried out of the armory."

"And according to the practice in our army, and now in peacetime, the Fort Benning base should be stocked with at least 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and ammunition for a skirmish that lasts more than a month."

"Most of the large bases will be equipped with tanks, fighter jets, and artillery of various classes."

"And some important military bases will also be equipped with a certain number of intercontinental missiles, cloud burst bombs and other types of high-power weapons."

"I'm sorry, general, I'm not an expert in armaments and weapons, my understanding is not accurate, I'm mainly responsible for foreign operations, and it's always been a special operation."

Leon shook his head with a kind expression, he couldn't blame this honest officer who had always been loyal to his duties, but he already had a little idea in his mind about how to deal with those zombies trapped in the military base

"So be it, Colonel William."

"Tomorrow morning, I will take the drone reconnaissance team with you to reconnoiter the specific situation of Fort Benning again."

"When we get more information, we'll talk about how to recover this military base."

Colonel William gave a military salute to Leon and said with a serious expression:

"Obey your orders, General."

After reporting the information, Colonel William took the initiative to leave Leon's office, as the most professional combat commander in the base, he was responsible for much more work than an ordinary squad leader.

There were not only training tasks, combat tasks, but even the written task of writing a simplified version of the army's command and combat system, which was specially assigned to him by Lyon.

As soon as Colonel William left, Amy stepped forward to help him knead his shoulders and handed over a document by the way.

Leon, enjoying the service of his assistant, picked up the document and looked at it, which contained the list and information of the latest batch of security combatants.

He looked through it with interest, and sure enough, he saw the names of the hammer god Tersi and his sister Sasha from above.

With a happy smile, the more powerful characters in the two protagonist groups have been included in his hands.

Amy smiled at him staring at the papers, suddenly lowered her head and secretly pecked him on the lips, and then shyly stuck to his body and looked at the documents together.

Leon saw her take the initiative and snickered in her heart, this little girl hadn't tasted meat for a week, and it seemed that she had a little spring heart.

But, I'm sorry, little Amy, my brother has an appointment tonight.

Looking at the photos of the Sasha siblings, thinking of the knife sister Michonne, who was still doing nothing in the base, and Rick and Sean, who were enjoying the joy of family, a thought suddenly rose in his heart.

Since even the elite fighters of the Security Department are unable to adapt to those difficult tasks and are prone to casualties, why not form an elite team like special forces.

All are made up of the most elite fighters with combat talents, using the most high-end weapons and equipment tailored for them, undergoing the most rigorous combat training to carry out the most difficult special missions.

If you have such a team, you will definitely be able to accomplish many miracles that ordinary people can't accomplish.

In such an instant, Leon even thought of the name of the team, the Stinger team, it would be called the Stinger team.

Like a poisonous dagger, they will break through obstacles, stab the enemy in the heart with a single blow, kill the enemy, and bring victory to the entire Protector Company.

Remembering his humiliating experience at the Senas nuclear power plant, Leon's heart was filled with rage.

Everyone is welcome to comment positively, and I like to communicate the plot with readers.
