Chapter Eighty-Eight: Understanding Intelligence

Seeing the true feelings of the captain named Frank, the firm will of the iron-blooded soldier can be seen even by those who are not familiar with him.

Leon smiled sincerely and said to Frank:

"Our goal is the equipment and supplies in the base, since we don't have any conflicts, then we can try to cooperate."

Iron Wolf Frank came back to his senses, stared at Leon's smiling face for a few seconds, and said:

"I've never heard of any organization of your umbrella company."

Surrounded by the guards, Leon led Frank to the side of the base wall, and said as he went:

"A self-help group of survivors, we have rescued many talented survivors, including doctors, teachers, virologists, university professors, and many elderly people and children."

"We are determined to unite the strength of all survivors to defeat the zombie virus and rebuild the human home."

As he spoke, he smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said:

"I know that such a goal is a bit high-sounding and hypocritical to say."

"But we've been doing well, and we've had pretty good results."

"About a quarter of Atlanta has been emptied and occupied by us."

"We have a large and secure base."

He glanced at Frank, the iron wolf, whose face changed slightly, and asked:

"What about you, are you soldiers here?"

"I've heard survivors say that the military used to kill all the soldiers and kill the survivors in the camps, is that true?"

Iron wolf Frank did not deny it, but also glanced at Leon and said:

"It's orders issued by the highest commanders in the army, we don't follow them, only the craziest soldiers and officers carry out such orders."

"Since then, all military communications have failed, we have no access to our superiors, and no one has given us orders anymore."

With a hint of self-deprecation, the Iron Wolf Captain said in a cold voice:

"We gave everything for this country, and in the end we were abandoned by them like garbage, so now, we have to live for ourselves and our families."

While the two were talking, the group of them had slowly walked up to Captain Frank's soldiers, and all the soldiers were secretly relieved to see that their commander was safe and sound, and there was no trace of conflict between the two sides.

The fighters of both sides had a short exchange and got to know each other.

Lyons, accompanied by two officers, Frank and Matt, observed the bombs they had planted, and there were many of them, which were installed on the foundations of thick stone concrete every half a meter, and they were all powerful TNT bombs, which should be able to blow these concrete walls into pieces in an instant.

During the conversation between the two sides, Lyon also learned a lot of real information about the Fort Benning military base.

As the largest military base in Georgia and the main defense force in an area with a population of more than 10 million, there are not only 8~100,000 professional soldiers stationed here every day, along with the families of these soldiers, in order to facilitate their reunion, there are also many people living here.

At the beginning of the disaster, most of the people in the base were directly infected with the zombie virus, and quickly died and became zombies, after the tragic battle between the living and the zombies, the original population of about 200,000 Fort Benning military base, there were only more than 5,000 soldiers and about 10,000 soldiers' families left.

But soon, before the soldiers could recover from the disaster, the command from above the army sent most of them to all the human settlements in Georgia to clean up the zombies and maintain local security.

Then, in less than a month, the soldiers who lacked supplies and the command system soon suffered heavy losses, and even in the end, these expatriate soldiers all lost contact with their superiors and became a lonely boat in the stormy seas, gradually drowning in the tide of the last days.

The same is true of Frank's unit, which is the most elite unit in the entire state of Georgia, and they are sent directly to New York State to support New York, the largest city in America.

However, no one can stop the general trend of the world, and after the fall of New York, they also lost contact with their superiors.

After struggling to survive in the mountains of corpses in New York for half a month, Frank the Iron Wolf finally couldn't bear this meaningless wait, and with the thoughts of his family, he crossed the long road with their soldiers and rushed back to the Fort Benning military base from New York.

It's a pity that what awaits them is a ruin occupied by hundreds of thousands of zombies.

Listening to Frank's expressionless and bland narration, Leon could hear their hardships between the lines, alas, in the last days, it was not easy for everyone.

Even a well-trained professional soldier can easily overturn due to a sneak attack by zombies hiding around the corner.

After the initial exchange and understanding between the two sides, the conversation between Leon and Iron Wolf Frank also entered the formal stage.

"Captain Frank, I hope your demolition operation can be delayed for a while."

Frank's expression paused slightly, and a hint of hostility appeared in his eyes, and he asked:

"Why postpone, do you want to stop us?"

Leon shook his head and explained sincerely:

"No, I hope you can be reunited with your family later, but we have a way to kill all these zombies, but it will take a little time to prepare."

"Captain Frank, you should be well aware of how much of a threat this group of zombies will pose to the survivors around you."

"And you can't guarantee that in the process of saving people, these zombies will be lured back again, sabotage your operations, and kill everyone."

"But if you give it to us, you don't have that concern."

Iron wolf Frank stared at Leon with suspicion and asked:

"There are hundreds of thousands of zombies here, how can you guarantee that you can deal with them."

Leon pointed to his head and said with a slight smile:

"The reason why we humans can rule the world is not because of our strength, but because of our wisdom."

"In Roberta County, we killed more than 40,000 zombies in just one afternoon, relying on intelligence."

"Although there are ten times as many zombies here as in Roberta County, as long as we give us a week, I am confident that we can kill these zombies with zero casualties."

As if shocked by the strong confidence in Leon's words, Iron Wolf Frank was silent for dozens of seconds before speaking:

"Okay, just a week."

"If you can do what you said and kill all these hundreds of thousands of zombies, then I owe you a favor, and I will carefully consider the matter of cooperating with you."

"During this time, we will also assist you with the work that needs to be done beforehand."

Leon smiled and nodded, stretched out his broad palm to Frank, and said:

"Good."

"Thank you for your trust, Frank, and I wish you all the best of luck with our cooperation."

Frank stretched out his hand expressionlessly and shook Leon's hand, and said:

"Mr. Custer, we will only consider cooperation after this is done."

Leon laughed and said in a humorous tone:

"Hahaha, it's inevitable, I have this confidence."

With the help of the Landlord Snake, Lyon's convoy quickly found a safe foothold, which was a canning factory two kilometers away from the military base, with a two-meter-high fence on the perimeter, covering an area of seven or eight acres, as well as a ninety percent new workers' dormitory and a brand-new factory, which was generally satisfactory.

After settling in the equipment and luggage, Leon took the Peggy siblings and Frank and the others, as well as Colonel William and several escorts, to the vicinity of the base again.

They set up a simple command center on a high ground that was easy to defend, and took out many huge LCD monitors to form a huge screen two meters high and four meters wide.

Then, under the control of the Peggy siblings, reconnaissance drones were used to conduct a detailed reconnaissance of the ground buildings of the entire military base.

Frank and the others were very surprised by the reconnaissance drone they used in Lyon, and after learning that this was military equipment that had not yet been officially used, they all showed expressions of surprise.

The military base is very large, with many areas, and the permanent population is about 200,000, about two hours later, corresponding to the picture on the screen, under the explanation of Captain Frank, who is familiar with the internal structure of the base, Leon and others finally have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the interior of the base.

After some deliberation, Leon invited Frank and his soldiers to dinner.

The captain, nicknamed Iron Wolf, heard that there was wine and food, and agreed to Leon's invitation without expression, and then returned to his soldiers with his adjutant Matt and began to make a simple arrangement.

And Leon, taking advantage of this time, took out the radio for long-range communication and connected the communication with Amy, who was far away in Atlanta.

"Hey, little Amy, are you okay at base?"

Little Amy's voice was still so beautiful, but Leon still heard a little guilt in it.

"Boss, the base is going well, but after you left this morning, something bad happened."

"One of the elderly people we arranged in the nursing home on the ground died suddenly in his sleep, but because he was not discovered by the timely people, he mutated into a zombie and killed three other elderly people in the same ward who could not take care of themselves."

"Later, our patrol team found out about this incident and dealt with the zombies, but this incident still made the relatives of the dead old people feel dissatisfied, and they thought that it was because of our mismanagement that caused the death of several other innocent old people."

Amy sighed softly and said:

"Boss, this matter is indeed my dereliction of duty, I built a nursing home according to a peacetime plan, and I did not take into account the difference between the end of the world, which caused this tragedy."

"If I had noticed it in time, it wouldn't have happened."

Listening to Amy's somewhat lost tone, Leon immediately comforted:

"Amy, the rules of the world have changed, and each of us cannot predict what will happen in the future, and it is precisely because of the accumulation of these mistakes that we have learned our lessons and made society continue to progress."

"Don't worry, this matter is not your fault, you can give some compensation to the families of those elderly people appropriately, and sincerely explain the reason for this incident to them."

"But as managers, we can't lose the majesty of being managers, and you need to understand the scale of this."

After reassuring the little assistant, Leon continued:

"We've got some understanding of the situation at the Fort Benning military base."

"Tomorrow, I will transfer a group of people over here, the number of people is about 200, you need to work with your sister to be responsible for the handover of the work after the transfer of personnel, as well as the deployment of logistics resources required by this group of people."

"I'm going to bring in all the people from Moore's and Daryl's teams, as well as some construction team workers and vehicles, as well as a group of truck drivers."

"Also, after you and your sister are busy with the follow-up handover work, let Andrea bring the personnel team with you."

"We've found more than two thousand survivors here, and I'll try to recruit them."

"You also have to prepare early in the base, and there may be a large number of new people joining our company in the coming period."

…………。

Amy, who was opposite, took her own small notebook and recorded everything Leon commanded, and at the end of the conversation between the two, little Amy said in a slightly vinegary voice:

"Boss, you and Miss Peggy stay over there, you must have a good rest at night, don't exhaust your body."

Leon smiled and said in a comforting tone:

"Don't worry, little Amy, I've been in a state of self-restraint now, and if you hadn't begged me, I wouldn't have rewarded you easily."

Amy over there blushed a little and snorted.

"Villain, who begged you, it's obvious that you took advantage."
