Chapter 152: Jesus' Actions
After receiving instructions from Supreme Leader Leon, Rickshawn and Jesus began a plot against the Salvation Army.
As the saying goes, everything comes first, and although Rickshawn doesn't take this so-called Salvation Army seriously, if you want to fight against this organization, you must find out their numbers, weapons, and the location of their base.
It just so happened that Jesus was about to go to the base of the Salvation Army with supplies, so naturally the task of searching for information was handed over to him, which was originally his responsibility as a help-seeker.
So, Rick and Sean took Jesus back to their newly built base in Ohio, not only explained to him the general situation of the organization, but also gave him a cart of food and a pistol full of bullets.
The strength of the human union was beyond the power of Jesus, which made this survivor, who had always behaved very calm, show a rare look of excitement.
He believes that as long as he has the help of the Human Federation, he will definitely be able to defeat the Salvation Army that has been bullying other survivors and ensure the safety of the hilltop village.
Unlike Sean, Rick was more concerned about the matter, and before leaving, he said to Jesus:
"I've already reported this to our Supreme Leader."
"He doesn't want to cause too much killing if it's not necessary, and hopefully this matter is best resolved peacefully."
"I think that since the Salvation Army has adopted this method of oppression of others to provide for itself, then the object of their oppression should not be just your mountaintop village."
"You can contact other people who are oppressed by the mountaintop to form an alliance against the Salvation Army, and with the assistance provided by our organization, you may be able to completely change the relationship with the Salvation Army and reach a non-aggression agreement."
"Of course, if the information you get says that the Salvation Army people are a bunch of hopeless scum, I think I can convince our leaders to send this group of scum to hell."
Jesus nodded solemnly, it was the luckiest thing he had ever done in the past few years to be able to meet Rick and Sean today, and to meet the organization of the Human Commonwealth.
Knowing that there is such a powerful organization in the world that is willing to help survivors survive gives them a lot of hope and motivation in their hearts as poor people who are struggling to survive.
Jesus sincerely thanked them for their help and said:
"Mr. Rick, Mr. Sean, I will tell our compatriots about your existence."
"If they also knew that there are people like you in this world, they will be very happy."
………………
In the evening, when Jesus, who had been away alone for two days, brought back a whole cart of supplies, and returned to the hilltop village, he was immediately treated like a hero by all the survivors.
For the past two days, they were all afraid of the threat of the Salvation Army, and because of the lack of food and supplies, they were full of frustration and worries about their future lives.
But Jesus' return in just two days with the food needed by the Salvation Army, and even a lot of leftovers that was enough for the rest of the camp to live for a while, filled everyone with admiration for Jesus.
Of course, as the nominal leader of the hilltop village, although Gregory was also quietly relieved, glad that he no longer had to face the wrath of the Salvation Army, but after seeing that Jesus was sought after and sincerely admired by everyone, he also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and felt that his position was threatened.
Jesus was a truly generous and courageous man, and that night he divided the rest of the food to the other survivors, except for the food needed by the Salvation Army, and told the others about his encounter with the United Nations.
This surprising news immediately caught everyone's attention.
Kyle, who has been in charge of guarding the gate of the mountaintop village, asked with a shocked face:
"Are you saying that the organization called the United Community of Humanity has taken over all of Georgia and cleaned up all the zombies there?"
"Oh my God, how many of them there are!"
Jesus also had some sighs on his face, and said with some emotion:
"I don't know exactly how many people there are, but I've heard from Mr. Rick that they have completed the most basic water and electricity supply, and the residents living there can enjoy the convenience of the water and electricity system."
"Moreover, they also have a lot of professional engineers and workers, and have built dozens of factories that produce many goods that are in demand in the last days."
"It is said that new cinemas, bars and dessert shops have recently opened, and the inhabitants of the area are almost living the civilized and peaceful life of the past."
Listening to Jesus' narration, the survivors around him all showed expressions of fascination.
Watching a movie, taking a hot shower, visiting a pub and eating a delicious dessert are the experiences that most survivors dream of.
Moreover, if you can live in a place where there is no threat of zombies, and you don't have to worry about it all the time, what a comfortable life it would be.
Just when these survivors were still immersed in the yearning for a better life, a discordant voice interjected.
"Jesus, you trust others too easily, both of them must be liars."
"You have seen the power of those monsters, even the army and the government have been defeated by them, there are at least more than 10 million zombies in Georgia, how can we ordinary people kill so many zombies."
"They're definitely cheating on you."
The fear of zombies was deeply ingrained in Gregri's heart, and he didn't think that any other survivor could defeat so many zombies.
Jesus was a man of sharp minds, and when he heard this, he immediately guessed what the old man Gregory was thinking, and his heart was upset and even more disappointed in him.
Now that the Peak Village is in the midst of this massive change, a bad leader can really make a big difference.
Thinking of this, Jesus did not tell the public about his alliance with Rick and the others to deal with the Salvation Army together, and he decided to wait until the matter was clear and he could see the hope of dealing with the Salvation Army, and then tell everyone about it.
But now, he has good news to tell everyone.
"Mr. Rick promised me that we could make a deal with the people of our hilltop village, and if we lacked supplies, food, or even guns, we could trade with them in a barter way."
"And even if we don't have anything to trade, we can go to their stronghold and work in exchange for what we need."
"In other words, as long as we are willing to work for them, we don't have to worry about food in the future."
As soon as this bombshell news came out, the residents of the mountaintop village were immediately in an uproar, and being able to offer such lucrative conditions showed that the strength of the so-called human united community was really very strong.
And with the assurance of Jesus, a reliable guy, everyone is willing to believe in Him.
However, Gregory, who was standing aside and eavesdropping, immediately became anxious, if the residents of the hilltop village who had finally gathered together ran to work for others, it would not be long before the hearts of the people collapsed, and no one would listen to his orders.
Immediately, he cried out:
"Don't be deceived, there are so many bad people out there now, maybe this so-called human association just wants to deceive us, catch us, and enslave us."
"Isn't it clear to everyone about the current world?"
"There are bad guys everywhere."
Seeing that the old man Gregory had come to make trouble again, Jesus glared at him a little helplessly, turned to the inhabitants around him, and said:
"If people really want to deal with our mountaintop village, with the strength I have seen, they don't need any conspiracy at all to directly push us."
"I can use my credibility to guarantee that Mr. Rick is a good man, and everyone can safely go to work with them in exchange for the supplies they want."
………………
On the third day, outside the Salvation Army base, Gavin's eyes flashed with admiration when he saw Jesus, who was alone in a pickup truck, coming to offer supplies.
Even though the two sides were on opposite sides, he was amazed by the man's commitment and courage.
Gavin's face remained impassive as he watched as Jesus got out of the car and went with a few of his men to check the supplies.
It's not bad, although they are almost expired canned food, but in the current era, this kind of expired canned food not only tastes good, but also won't hurt your stomach, and it is already considered a good food.
Gavin's character was fairly fair, he nodded at Jesus, did not choose to embarrass him any more, and after signaling his men to remove the supplies, he turned to Jesus and said:
"This time is just a special case, I only gave you a chance for your sake, next time, when we go to collect the supplies, you must complete it on time and in quantity."
"Otherwise, there would not have been such a peaceful solution as this one."
Jesus nodded without being humble or arrogant, and suddenly pretended to be a little curious and asked:
"Mr. Gavin, how do you recruit soldiers for the Salvation Army, and what should we do if we, the foreign survivors, want to join your Salvation Army?"
Gavin looked at Jesus with a strange expression, and he still had some opinions about this brave survivor.
If the other survivors had asked him this, he probably wouldn't have even dealt with them, but if the survivor named Jesus was willing to join the Salvation Army, he would still be willing to give them a chance.
After thinking for a few seconds, Gavin looked at Jesus and said in a deep voice:
"Survivors from outside can join our organization as long as they are recommended by our insiders."
"However, to become our soldier, you must go through a period of investigation, you must owe allegiance to Negan, and obey any orders he makes."
"Otherwise, you will have to become the lowest worker, relying on your work in exchange for our protection."
Jesus nodded, with a look on his face that wanted to say something, paused for a few seconds, and said:
"Mr. Gavin, you should have also seen that our leader, Gregory, is not a good man, he is cowardly, stupid, selfish, and jealous."
"It is precisely because of this that I am often ostracized and framed by him in the hilltop village, and those stupid residents are more willing to believe him."
"So, I sometimes think that maybe the Salvation Army is the right choice for me."
The expression on Gavin's face did not change, and he did not seem to react to what he said, except that his eyes were fixed on Jesus, and he spoke:
"If you want to join our Salvation Army, I can recommend it for you."
A look of surprise flashed across Jesus' face, and he bowed his head and said to Gavin sincerely:
"Thank you, Mr. Gavin, but I'm still hesitating."
"Since the beginning of the disaster, I have lived with the people in the mountaintop village, we have helped each other, supported each other, and although they have always had some prejudices against me, we have always been companions."
"I can't leave them so simply."
When Gavin heard this, he looked at Jesus impatiently, frowned, and asked:
"So, what the hell do you want?"
Jesus made an apologetic look at Gavin and said:
"I hope to be able to join the Salvation Army, but for the time being, I can help you keep an eye on them and keep them from doing impulsive and stupid things."
When Gavin heard this strange request, he was slightly stunned, and after thinking for more than ten seconds, he asked rhetorically:
"Do you want to be our undercover agent?"
Jesus nodded bitterly and said:
"I know very well the strength of the Salvation Army, but I don't want a conflict between the hilltop village and the Salvation Army, I will quietly solve those who stir up conflicts."
Gavin looked at Jesus with a solemn expression, thought for a while, and said:
"I can't make a decision on this matter, you come in with me first, and I'll ask Negan for advice."
"The final outcome is up to Lord Negan."
………………
Whatever happened between the Salvation Army and the Peak Village, it was a trivial matter for Lyons, Georgia.
And at this time, Lyon, who was still on vacation in Florida, had already been drawn to another thing.
In the study, Leon swallowed the clouds with a cigar in his mouth, listened to Constantine, who was also smoking a cigar opposite, report the information, and asked with some surprise:
"You're saying that there are no zombies in the Avent nuclear power plant anymore, and it's now occupied by a giant colony of mutated radiation crabs, right?"
Faced with the president's question, Konstantin spat out a puff of smoke and replied seriously:
"Yes, Boss, according to our investigations, this group of mutated radiation crabs occupying the Avent nuclear power plant is not only huge, but also has an exceptionally hard shell on its body."
"The most important thing is that they are very territorial, very aggressive, and any creature that enters the vicinity of the nuclear power plant will be besieged by them."
"And these guys eat carrion, and the zombies near the nuclear power plant are all eaten by them."
