Chapter 91: Cooperation
Looking at the iron wolf Frank with a serious expression, Leon whispered a few words on Peggy's cheek, and the girl walked into the room with a slight red face.
It wasn't until the girl's figure disappeared into the door that Leon smiled at Frank and said:
"Lieutenant Frank, I wonder why you're looking for me?"
Iron wolf Frank is not a man who beats around the bush, he was silent for a second or two, and then said directly:
"I don't know when we can deal with the zombies in Fort Benning."
"My sister and the families of the soldiers are inside, and I hope the sooner the better."
After listening to Frank's words, Leon immediately understood what he meant, and after a little consideration, he took a bottle of decanted wine from the table next to him, which he was going to use with Peggy in the evening, but it was also quite good to entertain guests.
He poured himself a glass, and then another to the iron-blooded captain, and took a sip, the mellow smell filling his mouth at once.
"Captain Frank, you should be well aware that our previous agreement was for me to help you deal with the zombies wandering outside the building, and it did not include helping you clean up the zombies in Fort Benning."
"Our previous agreement has been completed."
"You've lived in New York City for a while, and you should know that zombies hiding in all corners of buildings are far more dangerous than zombies wandering through the wind and rain."
Iron Wolf Frank was silent for a few seconds before asking:
"In other words, aren't you going to clean up the zombies inside Fort Benning?"
Leon, sitting on a chair across from Frank, took a sip of red wine and said:
"Not really, when we are safe enough, we will clear the zombies inside the fortress and obtain the equipment inside."
"However, I have always believed that in the last days, human beings themselves are the most important resource, and until our people have a foothold in this area, I will not test the lives of my employees at will."
Frank's lips twitched a few times, and finally he asked:
"How long will it take you? And the collaboration you mentioned earlier, what is the content? ”
Leon smiled lightly and said:
"I don't know the exact time now, it depends on the attitude of the surrounding forces, maybe a month, maybe three months."
"After all, this is a very dangerous job, if we are exploring the inside of the fortress, we are attacked by the outside, and we are likely to lose a lot of money from both sides."
"I had to be careful."
He took another sip of Lafite and said:
"As for the matter of cooperation, it is actually very simple, I should have told you that we are an organization with lofty goals, and we do not refuse other survivors to join, as long as this person is kind-hearted, morally noble, and willing to contribute to the cause of mankind, we will sincerely accept them and let them become one of us."
"So after we met, I wanted to see if I could recruit you to work for our organization."
"We have safe camps, we have a well-organized structure, we have doctors, teachers, a lot of resources, and even virus experts to crack the zombie virus, as long as you contribute enough to the organization, you can even live a better life than in peacetime."
However, no matter how delicious the pie painted by Leon, the captain seemed unmoved, and asked:
"I wonder, what will you do to help us get rid of those people in the vault?"
Leon put down his glass, shook his head, and said:
"Captain Frank, it's not that we won't help you, we must prioritize our own safety before we can do other work."
"I heard that there is a fire dog gang in Columbus City, there are many of them, they like to loot, and there are also some military forces in the military outpost in the north, and they are very hateful to the survivors, you should know them, I think they will not easily let go of the materials in this military base, and the organization composed of thousands of refugees in Troy, what they lack most is weapons and ammunition, and they must also want to get a piece of the pie."
"I hope you understand my concerns, Captain."
Iron wolf Frank did not respond, lowered his head and pondered for nearly two minutes, then picked up the Raffi on the table and drank it all, exhaled, and said in a deep voice:
"Leon Castel, stop beating around the bush, I know what you want to do, careerists like you, I've seen a lot."
He glanced at Leon, whose face barely fluctuated, and said:
"The soldiers at the northern outpost, I will solve it for you, I know very well that the current commander of those soldiers is just an incompetent bureaucrat, I will replace him and make them follow my orders."
"As for the refugees of the Fire Dog Gang and the Trojans, they have neither equipment nor combat effectiveness, they are simply a rabble, you can solve it yourself."
"However, in half a month at the latest, I hope that we can work together to rescue the families of the soldiers in the shelter."
"If you agree, as long as I am the commander of this group of soldiers, we will help you when you need help in the future, three times."
Leon was a little surprised in his heart, this soldier who looked like a reckless man had already seen through his thoughts, his mind was racing rapidly, analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of Frank's proposed cooperation, and after thinking about it for dozens of seconds, he spoke:
"I can cooperate with you, but after the incident, this military base will be owned by us, and you will be given two thousand weapons and ammunition."
Iron wolf Frank thought for a few seconds and said:
"We need 5,000 people, as well as some tanks and armored vehicles."
Leon picked up Raffi again and poured a glass for each of them, and asked with a smile:
"There are less than 200 of you in total, and you don't have a safe camp, even if you are given so much equipment, can you move it away?"
"Hmph, don't worry about it!"
He discussed cooperation with Captain Iron Wolf for a while.
The iron-blooded soldier took his leave, and prepared to return to the northern outpost with his soldiers overnight to plot a seizure of power.
When the captain left, Leon's face sank.
As a local officer, controlling so many soldiers, would he really be a fool if he didn't want to fight them for control of this fortress?
It seems that this iron wolf Frank looks honest, but in fact he is also a sixth child.
With half a bottle of Lafite, Leon turned around and went back to the room, if he didn't hurry, the beauty would be in a hurry.
Two days later, Lyon's troops were assembled, and the equipment pulled out of the military base had been handed over to the squad leaders, and the equipment of the more than 200 elite soldiers had been updated and replaced with the latest Amerian equipment.
Commanded by Colonel William, all kinds of long guns and short guns, tanks, armored vehicles, everything, everyone's equipment is almost fully equipped, they are tall and strong, burly, battle-hardened, temperament is more like a veteran of a hundred battles, just a glance, it will make people feel that this is the most elite troops.
Their target today is a military academy on the outskirts of Columbus, where Columbus is the largest camp, the territory of the Fire Dogs.
Leon sits on a modified black jeep, and Peggy, the co-pilot, is carefully manipulating the drone and scouting the neighborhood.
Leon threw a cigar to the flattering Dirt Dog Coolpie and said:
"Coolpad, show us the way, after today, there will be no more Fire Dog Gangs, and you can be a normal survivor."
And at the military academy on the outskirts of Columbus, Ace, the fire dog, is beating his men, he is a white man with a bald head and a scarred face who is more than 1.9 meters tall, with a burly body and great strength.
Ace kicked his subordinates in the stomach with his own foot and cursed:
"This waste, Lao Tzu provides you with food and drink, but you are useless."
"It's been so many days, that cool kid and more than 30 people have been killed by others, but you don't have any news, and you can't even find out who did it."
"It's really a rice bucket, and I know how to play with women."
"Damn, next time I see that you are not doing a good job, I will directly feed you to the zombies."
After saying that, he kicked his man in the chest several times, and kicked the man so much that he couldn't even say a word of begging for mercy before he stopped his movements.
He took a towel from the hand of a scantily clad and trembling girl beside him, wiped the sweat from his forehead, pointed to another subordinate, and shouted:
"Hey, it's you, let you take someone to investigate what that black smoke is, have you investigated?"
It was a stout black man, and in the face of his boss, he quickly lowered his head and said with a hint of fear:
"Boss Ace, that puff of black smoke came from the Fort Benning military base, when I took someone over to check, I saw that in the base, a long section of the concrete wall was blown open, and the zombies inside were gone, and a thousand-meter-long pit was dug next to the wall."
"Inside was blackened by the fire, there were some traces of burnt clothes and corpses, on the flat ground a few hundred meters away, the charred corpses were piled up into a mountain, at least hundreds of thousands of zombies were burned to death, it was as hell as hell, very terrifying."
He saw a confused look on the boss's face, and hurriedly said:
"We also found a lot of traces of cars moving on the ground, all of them were big cars, and some garbage was thrown away after eating, and I counted them carefully with a few people, at least 300 people stayed there."
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Fire Dog Ace squinted his eyes and began to think, the scar on his face became very hideous because of the change in his expression, he thought for a few minutes, and thought of nothing, and then gave up thinking, and kicked the subordinate he just reported, kicking him to the ground.
Then he pointed at him and scolded:
"You're also a piece of shit, and if you go to find out the information, won't you look elsewhere?"
"Bring back some unknown information, how can I figure out what's going on inside?"
He took a few steps, suddenly thought of something, hurriedly turned back and grabbed the collar of the little brother on the ground, pulled him into the air, and asked anxiously:
"You said that the zombies in the base were burned to death, but what about the bullets and weapons in it, did you see it?"
The little black brother was confused for a few seconds, and then replied a little timidly:
"We were frightened by the mountains of charred corpses, and we didn't have any other thoughts at all, so we hurriedly came back and told the boss the information we saw."
Ace's eyes were on fire, and he threw his men to the ground and scolded loudly:
"Damn, you are stupid like pigs, you only know how to eat, drink and have fun all day long, abuse slaves, let you do a little thing, you can't do anything."
"Hurry up, find someone to take a look, and if you see those military equipment, bring them back to Lao Tzu."
"Hurry up, don't bother, weapons are much more important than food now."
However, before he could organize his younger brother and go to the base to move equipment, a subordinate who was guarding outside rushed in and shouted with a panicked face:
"Boss! Top dog! We were surrounded by troops. ”
"A lot of tanks! A lot of cannons! That's a lot of troops! ”
"Every one of them, with machine guns and artillery, has already come to our door."
The voice of this subordinate was quite loud, and many members of the Fire Dog Gang heard his shout, and they all hesitated and panicked.
With anger on his face, Ace walked up to the man, kicked him over, then grabbed him by the neck, slapped him several times in succession, and roared:
"Damn, how many people are here, and where? What the do you see? ”
The little brother was slapped and dizzy, and said a little vaguely:
"Boss, I haven't read a book, I can't count how many of them there are."
"But there are really a lot of tanks, a lot of artillery, and we're going to be surrounded."
