Chapter 133: The Kingdom of God
Konstantin's intelligence cast a shadow on Leon's heart, but since the two sides have not yet declared war and there is no formal hostility, he is not ready to take the initiative to provoke a dispute for the time being.
At least until he figured out what the other party was up to, he couldn't rashly send troops over to take risks.
After some consideration, he asked Sherman to send some of the cadets of the armed mechanical group to Frank's military fortress with some reconnaissance drones.
Prepare to use this subtle, high-tech device to assist Frank and Constantine in detecting the Sharks' intelligence.
Of course, as an organization with a military satellite system, he has not forgotten to keep an eye on the warship in the port of Miami and the members of the Shark Gang hiding in the city center.
However, the monitoring of military satellites also has many limitations, and they can only barely see the changes on the outside of the building and the movement of a large number of troops, and if you look at the resolution, you can't even see the appearance of those people.
However, half a month has passed, and Konstantin and Sherman have not received much information.
What is certain is that the Sharks are indeed funded by a certain force, and in the past half month, from time to time, some huge cargo ships carrying food, equipment, and unknown equipment will come to Miami and hand them over.
According to Konstantin, the current members of the Shark Gang are completely different from the past, not only do they no longer hunt down other survivors as food reserves, but they are even actively hunting zombies and mutated monsters in the city center.
Although, I don't know what their intentions are, Leon still chooses to wait and see.
Only by figuring out the weaknesses of the Sharks can he have a chance to kill him with one blow.
At the same time, the advance exploration team of the People's Federation also had different encounters.
————
Berlintown, New Jersey
That afternoon, Michonne was alone in the town looking for fuel for his car, and thanks to the help of the Human Union base, their stronghold was not short of necessities such as food and medicine.
And these days, with the attitude of not refusing to come, they have also found 5 survivors one after another, a broken family of three and a young couple, who have joined their stronghold.
However, what made Michonne more depressed was that according to the information she learned from Miss Peggy, among the five advance teams, she and O'Neill achieved the worst results, and the current number of survivors has just exceeded 12.
And the best-developed Jasmine team, the number of strongholds has approached 100 people, leaving the two of them far behind, and the number is close to ten times that of them.
As an independent woman with a strong personality, Michonne is now holding back a lot of energy in her heart, wanting to find an opportunity to prove her ability to others and prove that she is not a reckless woman with courage and strategy.
Just as she was about to go to the gas station or car sales center to find some transportation and fuel for the stronghold.
Suddenly, she heard the sound of a firearm firing not far away, and in her experience, it should be a revolver.
Michonne didn't even think about it, and immediately chose to go to the location of the incident to investigate, now is the time when the stronghold is short of manpower, and any chance to recruit survivors cannot be missed.
Two minutes later, when she crossed two alleys and came to the spot where the gunshots were fired, she saw three male survivors in black leather armor and spears in hand, struggling to face the siege of forty or fifty zombies.
There were still six or seven zombies lying on the ground that had been killed, some from bullets in the head, and some from iron spears.
Michonne guessed that they were here looking for supplies, and then accidentally bumped into a zombie crowd, and chose to use a pistol to relieve the siege, but now they are surrounded by more and more zombies.
Michonne recognized their leather armor, which was the armor of the guards of the Kingdom of God who were more than ten kilometers away from them.
These are the people of the kingdom of God.
Thinking of the great President Lyon, it seems that he is particularly interested in this camp.
Immediately, she jumped out of the hidden place, rushed to the back of the zombie group, and the sharp alloy katana in her hand aimed at the necks of several zombies, pulled out a dazzling knife light, and slashed hard.
In just an instant, the knife fell, and the heads of three decaying and erosive zombies were cut off to the ground.
The three survivors in black leather armor saw the arrival of foreign aid, and their morale immediately boosted, and they immediately cheered up, cooperated with each other, and tried their best to block the advance of the corpses with iron spears.
And Michonne has long been accustomed to the rhythm of killing in the past few years, after she cut down three zombies, the alloy katana in her hand did not stagnate, and she spun around, and another sword light flew, instantly slashing down two tattered zombies, one fat and one thin.
After the corpse fell to the ground and knocked down 5 zombies in a row, Michonne not only did not feel the slightest tired, but felt unusually happy in her heart, and sure enough, she still preferred to torture and kill these ugly monsters rather than using her brain to think about problems.
So, in the shocked eyes of the three guards of the Kingdom of God, the samurai in the strange black armor, wielding the bright white katana in his hand, was just like those swordsmanship masters in the movie.
The sword flashed, tossing and turning, accompanied by a few women's happy roars, and among the more than 50 zombies, at least 40 were slashed and killed by the other party alone.
After the battle, the armored warrior who looked like a sword hero played a sword flower, and the blade of the sword shook, throwing off the black blood on the sword, and then inserting it into the scabbard behind the back.
That chilling momentum does look quite breathtaking.
The sturdy Richard swallowed slightly, took the initiative to put away the blood-stained spear in his hand, looked at the armored warrior opposite and said:
"Thank you, friend, for saving us."
"My name is Richard, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
"Can you tell us your name?"
Michonne gasped slightly, adjusted his breathing, opened the black mask on his head, revealed his appearance, looked at the three survivors in front of him with brown eyes, and said:
"My name is Michonne."
"A warrior from the United Community of Humanity."
"Mr. Richard, it's a pleasure to meet you."
After this kind meeting, Michonne was invited by Richard to be a guest in the kingdom of God.
Out of the purpose of uniting all friendly forces, Michonne did not refuse Richard's kindness, and after a simple phone call with his teammate O'Neill and the other survivors in the stronghold, he came to the stronghold of the Kingdom of God more than ten kilometers away.
As soon as she entered the kingdom of God, Michonne felt slightly moved.
It is a united and friendly settlement of more than a hundred people, located on the edge of the town of Berlin.
Although the location is not large, and only the fence between the buildings can be used to keep the zombies out, most of the residents have a peaceful and happy smile on their faces.
Obviously, living in this gathering place is far happier than those who are struggling on the brink of life and death.
The residents here, both young and old, make a living by collecting supplies and growing their own fruits and vegetables.
However, it was obvious to Michonne that the fighting power of the gathering place was not very high, and the guards in charge of the battle were probably only about a dozen people, and there were few thermal weapons, and most of them were armed with metal long-handled weapons.
After wandering among the residents for a while, Michonne also received curious glances from the inhabitants of the Kingdom of the Gods, but the black guardian armor full of technology was a strong deterrent, and no one really ran up to greet her.
A few minutes later, presumably with permission from his superiors, Richard approached Michonne's side and said:
"Lady Michonne, the leader of our camp, King Ezekiel would like to see you and thank you in person."
Mihune was astonished to hear the title of king, and she asked Richard rhetorically in an uncertain tone:
"The King?"
Richard scratched his cheek with some embarrassment, nodded and replied:
"Yes, Lady Michonne, King Ezekiel is a wise and courageous leader, and he wishes to thank you in person for your help."
Michonne nodded thoughtfully, then followed Charlie into a movie theater-like building.
After walking for about a minute or two, the two came to a spacious performance hall, and in the spacious and bright room, there were three strange figures on the stage, as if they were performing a play, posing in different poses.
Standing on the far right is a tall man wearing a bright metal cuirass and a two-handed axe, like a king's guard.
The man sitting in the middle, wearing a dirty pigtail and a gorgeous fur jacket, was dressed fashionably and had a very dignified posture.
The most peculiar thing is the one on the left, which turned out to be a large tiger with a strong physique, clear stripes, and a bright coat, which lay lazily on the ground, and after seeing Michonne, it did not fluctuate, but yawned lazily.
Seeing that Michonne was obviously shocked by their posture, King Ezekiel, who was sitting in the center, continued to pose, and in a deep voice, said with a smile:
"Welcome to the kingdom of God, Lady Michonne."
"Thank you for saving Richard, Chatus, and Borr today."
"From this day forward, you are a guest of our kingdom of God."
Michonne came back to her senses, nodded slightly to Ezekiel, and said with some embarrassment:
"It's a pleasure to meet you, King Ezekiel."
"I am a warrior from the United Community of Humanity, Michonne."
"Thank you for your enthusiasm."
King Ezekiel smiled and nodded, and then, in a slightly puzzled tone, asked:
"Lady Michonne, I've heard Richard explain your organization briefly, but I'm still a little unclear."
"What kind of organization is the United Community of Mankind?"
"Are you all from the government and the military?"
Michonne shook her head decisively and said:
"No, we're just like you, ordinary survivors."
"Yes, President..."
Speaking of this title, Michonne was also a little embarrassed, but she still stubbornly explained:
"Under the leadership of His Excellency President Leon Caster, we gathered all the survivors from all over Georgia."
"An independent organization was established to light the torch of civilization and rebuild the homeland of mankind."
"The President hopes to unite all the good human survivors and rely on everyone's strength to defeat all the zombies and villains."
"Rebuilding homes for a bright future for all."
Ezekiel and the two people present nodded silently, believe it or not, at least this kind of organization that sounded very friendly and noble was countless times stronger than those who killed and plundered, enslaved and destroyed.
However, having survived the last days for more than two years, all survivors know not to trust other people's words, as that can often be a deadly trap.
Ezekiel thought about it for more than ten seconds, and suddenly asked a more pointed question.
"Lady Michonne, what attitude does your organization have towards other survivors when they encounter them?"
Michonne's personality is very upright, and in her opinion, there is nothing wrong with the attitude of the Human Federation towards the other survivors, so she just thought about it for a few seconds and replied truthfully:
"Your Excellency, when facing other survivors, our Human Federation will generally adopt three plans."
"If the other side is a marauder or a hostile survivor, we will crush them, and then gather the surrendered part of the people, and let them use their labor to offset the crimes of the past."
"If it's a good survivor, we will recruit them, make them a member of our human association, protect them, provide various resources, and then assign jobs according to their abilities, and we will all build the future of humanity together."
"If the other party is unwilling to join the People's Federation, we will also treat them kindly, strive to reach a cooperative relationship with the other party, trade goods and resources, and help each other."
"Deal?"
Ezekiel muttered a few words at the word, then looked up and said to Michonne:
"Thank you for your answer, Lady Michonne."
"If I can, I would like to have the opportunity to have a meeting with His Excellency the President of the People's Federation."
"When the time comes, we'll talk about the position of the kingdom of God."
Hearing this, Michonne stared at Ezekiel for a few seconds and said:
"King Ezekiel, if you really think so, I can contact the president of our People's Federation right now."
"I think Your Excellency Leon will be willing to talk to you once."
Ezekiel was stunned when he heard this, and asked with some surprise:
"Your Excellency the President of the People's Federation, shouldn't you still be in Georgia, thousands of kilometers away?"
"Did he come to New Jersey too?"
Michonne shook his head slightly, took a satellite phone from his belt, pointed it at it, and said:
"I can use this to contact Your Excellency."
Ezekiel was stunned when he saw this satellite phone, he didn't expect that two years had passed since the end of the world, and he could still see someone using this kind of thing.
"You can still use the phone to communicate, it seems that your organization is really strong."
Michonne struggled for a few seconds, but still replied truthfully:
"Yes, we not only have military satellites, but also have a complete air force system, which can basically reach any corner of the world through aircraft."
"At present, the most important task of the Federation of People is to try to save the survivors who are still alive in all parts of the country and preserve the vitality of human beings."
Military satellites? Air Force systems?
Ezekiel opened his mouth, shocked in his heart, he still had a little confidence in the kingdom of God that he had worked so hard to build, and thought that he had done a very good job.
Unexpectedly, in other parts of America, there are already people who have unified the survivors of the entire state and have mastered such a powerful scientific and technological strength.
Although there was a vague sense of loss in his heart, when he heard the good news, his heart was more excited and happy.
There is no survivor of the last days who does not yearn for the security and prosperity of the past peacetime.
Ezekiel suppressed the surging emotions in his heart, and was silent for nearly a minute before he said to Michonne:
"Thank you for telling me this information, Lady Michonne."
"It was so sudden, though, that I needed some time to sort out my thoughts."
"If you can, I hope that tonight, you will first report to Your Excellency the President of your organization on the information of our Kingdom of God."
"Tomorrow morning, I will have a formal conversation with His Excellency Lyon."
Michonne thought about it, and felt that it really shouldn't be so anxious to talk, at least to give the two sides a certain amount of time to get to know each other.
So she invited Ezekiel:
"King Ezekiel, our stronghold in New Jersey is about a dozen kilometers away from here."
"If you are willing, you can have some members of the Kingdom of God visit our base now."
"We bring some products and equipment that we make ourselves in our organization."
"I can give you some as gifts."
Ezekiel's eyes lit up when he heard this, and if he could go to the other party's stronghold, he could indeed better understand the other party's strength and confirm whether the other party's language was lying.
He coughed lightly and said:
"Thank you for having me, Lady Michonne."
"Since our two strongholds are not far apart, as a neighbor, I am going to ask Richard to visit you with some gifts from the kingdom of our gods."
So, half an hour later.
The big man O'Neill and the rest of the colony were surprised to see that Mihonne, dressed in black guardian armor, returned to their colony with two strong men holding fruits and vegetables and leading a fat pig.
Brothers, everyone hasn't been very enthusiastic lately, give me more feedback, otherwise I have a feeling of being a stand-alone.
