Chapter 146: Negan and the Governor
"We need Negan's wisdom."
Hearing what his men had to say, Negan smiled with his mouth open, he stood up, took his beloved weapon Lucille in his hand, put his bat against Richard's chin, and said in a humorous tone:
"Hey! Buddy. ”
"As you can see, my men trust me so much that if I don't get the results I want, I'm going to get angry."
"Trust me, man."
"You don't want to see me angry."
Negan slammed Lucille on the back of Richard's hand, smashing him into a snort.
"Because then I'm going to smash your heads with my dear Lucille, haha."
"It's like smashing a watermelon, smashing your brains and flesh to shreds."
Although the handsome middle-aged man was smiling as he spoke, Richard was keenly aware that he wasn't joking.
If they don't cooperate with this man, I'm afraid that someone will be stoned to death at that time.
After seeing the size and strength of the Salvation Army, Richard's heart was actually extinguished to fight against them.
In the last days, there is no one who does not cherish life.
This is not an enemy that the Kingdom of God can deal with alone, and they should not cause unnecessary conflicts with the Salvation Army.
Richard endured the pain in his hands, looked up at the man and said:
"Ask, and I'll tell you what I know."
Hearing this, Negan grinned, withdrew Lucille from his hand, and said with a smile:
"That's right, cooperate obediently, hello and me, we can still be friends, can't we?"
…………
As night fell, Negan refused an invitation to spend the night with a few beautiful women, and went to his room alone, which was lavishly decorated like a palace.
He first sat on a leather sofa, put Lucille in his hand and gently groped, looking at the weapon that had accompanied him through the three years of apocalypse, and at the bat that had become his spiritual sustenance, slightly distracted.
At the beginning of the last days, he and his beloved wife hid at home and kissed each other.
He never thought that he would love a woman so much, and he never thought that he would be such a dedicated man.
After a long silence, his thoughts returned to today, the news he received from the survivor of the Kingdom of God named Richard.
A large organization called the United Community of Humanity.
Hehe, it sounds like a noble title, there are always such people in the world, there are good people, there are bad people, and there are both heroes and heroes in troubled times.
It's a pity that he and his wife Lucille didn't meet such a good person at the beginning, he ran into scum, and could only watch his wife watch, in order not to drag him down, ended his life in despair.
That's why he chooses to make others fear him, worship him, obey him, and in the last days, if he doesn't be a butcher, he is a lamb.
With these things in mind, Negan walked over to his desk, picked up a radio communicator, and turned on a familiar channel.
After waiting for a few seconds, he seemed to hear the faint breathing of the other party, and then he used his cheerful voice to say:
"Hey, Philip, how are you doing?"
"Your old friend, great Negan, have a great day."
A few seconds later, a low laugh came from the other end of the communicator, and a hoarse magnetic male voice spoke:
"Negan, didn't we get in touch three days ago?"
"Is there anything new?"
Negan chuckled.
"How's Penny doing, is anything getting better?"
"Hehe, she's so good now, she's more lively than before, and I seem to see her singing around me again."
In a military fortress, Governor Philip held his daughter in his arms, and while trying to control her from moving indiscriminately, he combed the little girl's hair with a comb.
And this little girl named Penny is no longer the rotten and thinning hair she used to be, but now she has fair skin and elasticity, her long golden hair is neatly combed, and she is wearing a delicate and beautiful snow-white princess dress, with a cute red hairpin on top of her head.
If it weren't for the little girl's dull eyes and the fierce expression like a demon, I'm afraid no one would have recognized that this is a mutated zombie that is feared by countless people.
Governor Philip carefully controlled Penny's body, grooming her while keeping her from hurting herself.
After escaping Woodbury two years ago, Negan not only saved his life during a life-threatening crisis, but also told him how to restore his daughter's health after learning about his condition.
Although he was not a man of great friendship, Governor Philip took Negan's kindness to heart, although the two sides later parted ways, went to different places, and started their own power.
But the two have always maintained an offensive and defensive alliance, and in their spare time, they will also exchange experiences in survival and development in the apocalypse, share wisdom, learn from each other's strengths, and make their forces more powerful.
"Alright, Negan."
"Let's talk about what's going on, we're all old friends, and we don't need extra pleasantries."
Negan did not hide it, and told his old friend what he knew from Richard, and asked:
"Hey, Philip, I remember you were around Georgia in the first place, right?"
"Do you know about this united community of humanity?"
There was silence on the communicator for more than ten seconds before Governor Philips' voice slowly came out.
"Of course I know them, they weren't called that in the first place, they're not a bunch of people to mess with."
"If you think they're all innocent and good, there's a good chance your Salvation Army will be swallowed by them to the bone."
Hearing his friend's warning, Negan became even more concerned about this matter, Philip is definitely a proud and conceited person, even he is so cautious, it seems that this so-called human alliance is more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
But along the way, Negan is also a brave and fearless person, otherwise he would not have laid down such a big force with one person.
He laughed at first, then his expression became serious, and he said:
"Thank you for your advice, Philip, it looks like you're suffering at their hands too."
"That's all for today, and I'll let you know if I find something better for Penny."
There was silence for two seconds on the communicator's side, and Governor Philip said sincerely:
"Thank you, Negan, and if I find useful information here, I'll share it with you."
…………
Secret research institute in the city of Miami.
Leon looked at Lawrence, who was slumped in his seat, with a revolver in his hand and a large hole in his temple, silent.
To be honest, this was the first time he had seen this enemy, but he didn't expect that the first time they met was to admire his corpse.
On the other side, with more than a dozen layers of bandages on his body, Konstantin, like a mummy, spat at the corpse and cursed hatefully:
"Damn, it's just dead, it's too cheap for him."
"This guy mobilized the zombies of the entire Florida at one time, and I don't know how many unlucky people were killed by the zombies for no apparent reason."
"There are also more than 1,000 people in the Shark Gang, although they are hateful, they are not all bad people, and they were all fooled by this guy, transformed into monsters, and finally became cannon fodder destined to be sacrificed."
Leon glanced sideways at Constantine, who was still chattering, and didn't want to listen to this guy's nagging, so he directly ordered:
"Either you can find a place to recuperate, or you can bring someone to move all your belongings to this building."
"Starting today, this Sacma building will be the Florida branch of our Human Federation."
"You've been temporarily appointed consul of this base, responsible for collecting all the survivors in Florida."
"Do a good job and don't let me down."
Hearing that he had been canonized as the administrator of this base, Konstantin suddenly felt that today's adventure was worth it, and the injuries on his body were not in vain.
He smiled flatteringly at Leon, like a flattering courtier before the king, and performed a lame etiquette, saying:
"Your Excellency, Great President, Konstantin thanks you for the reward, and I will always be loyal to you."
Leon's face did not fluctuate, he reached out and clicked on the display screen on the console, and said helplessly:
"Get out of here, make all the preparations, I will send a group of workers over, and the next construction task will not be easy."
Driving away the annoying Constantine, Leon looked at Lawrence's corpse and finally had his time to calculate the gains of this attack on the secret institute.
The first is the institute itself, although its internal equipment, floor area, scope of use, and other aspects are inferior to the Atlanta CDC, but compared to many large medical institutions, or large companies' R&D centers, it is sophisticated and hidden enough.
In peacetime, I am afraid that it would not be possible to build such a base without spending tens of billions of dollars.
With a research institute, the Federation of People can start new research projects and develop new technologies.
Secondly, there are more than forty researchers left in the base, these unarmed weak chickens, although there are quite a few of them, but in the face of the heroic soldiers of the People's Union, they are about to collapse, and after killing a few of their companions, they have surrendered on their knees, and there is no discipline at all.
On the contrary, those low-level spies not only have good combat effectiveness, but each of them is not afraid of death, even if they fight to the last person, there is no trace of surrender, as if death is a symbol of their glory.
It is conceivable that Freemasonry does have a few brushes in terms of brainwashing and cultivating the dead.
If we can rebel against this group of abandoned researchers, then we can fill the vacancies of the People's Federation of Grassroots researchers to a large extent, and speed up the experimental research of the professors.
If you don't invest more strength in this area, maybe you will suffer a big loss at any time.
And in addition to these visible gains, Leon believes that the zombie virus research data stored inside the computer is the real wealth that deserves attention.
He had already sent a message to Hethaway and Dr. Melfa, believing that as long as these two doctors were there, it wouldn't be long before the power of the Human Federation would be realized.
Soon, another week passed, and after the efforts of thousands of soldiers and logistics personnel, tens of millions of mutant zombies were torn to pieces by countless artillery fire and ammunition on the way to the base of the People's Union.
The war lasted for nearly a month, and all the planes and tanks continued to bombard for a month.
For the People's Federation, although this battle only caused less than 100 casualties, it consumed tens of thousands of tons of various ammunition and supplies, and almost emptied more than half of the ammunition reserves in the base.
Judging from the ammunition reserves in the human union base, they can no longer hold on to a war of this scale, and finding new weapons and equipment has become an urgent need.
However, although the cost of this war is enormous, the gains it has brought are also unparalleled.
Under the control of thousands of members of the Shark Gang, they almost hollowed out more than ninety percent of the zombies in Florida, which caused trouble for the People's Federation, but also saved a lot of time for the People's Federation to occupy Florida.
As long as another army is sent to continue cleaning up the remnants of zombies and monsters everywhere, I believe that it will not be long before Florida will become a peaceful and peaceful region like Georgia.
Although most of this area is shrouded in radiation, with its special geographical environment and unique strategic location, it will bring unimaginable benefits to the People's Federation in the near future.
…………
Together with his companions, he was kept in a dark cell by the Salvation Army for three days.
Originally, Richard was ready to sacrifice, but unexpectedly, he and his companions were neither abused nor beaten, and after spending three days in the cell for nothing, all of a sudden, they were released by the white strong man of the Salvation Army, Olaf.
Olaf led the four men to the open field outside the Salvation Army base, pointed to a dilapidated van and said:
"Survivor of the Kingdom of God."
"Be thankful, the great Negan has decided to let you go, so that you can go home and be reunited with your family and friends."
Olaf slammed his two-handed axe to the ground and snorted coldly.
"But the great Negan wants you to be able to tell your friends when you go back that the whole of New York State and the places around here are the territory of our Salvation Army."
"We don't want to fight each other because of territory."
"So, don't do anything that might anger Negan, or the Salvation Army soldiers will level your camp."
After saying this, Olaf ignored the ugly faces of the four and turned around with his men and returned to the Salvation Army base.
To be honest, Olaf was also quite depressed about letting these four people go.
In his heart, the Salvation Army is the only choice to save the world, and the survivors of other camps should obediently dedicate their strength to contribute to the strength of the Salvation Army, because only brave and fearless warriors like them can defeat those hideous and terrifying zombies and monsters.
Who knows, Negan, who has always been domineering and ruthless, actually chose to calm things down this time and let go of those rookies who looked weak.
In the past, Negan would not have directly sent people to occupy the base of the Kingdom of God, captured their young laborers, and then forced this camp to become a pig raised by the Salvation Army on time.
