It's like throwing a match into a barrel of explosives, and after the outbreak of the nuclear submarine incident in Mississippi, it not only bombed half the world indiscriminately, creating many ruins, but also triggered the nuclear counterattack systems of many countries because of the sensitive weapon of intercontinental missiles.

That day was a nightmare for all the survivors, the whole world fell into madness, the sky collapsed, the storm was raging, the earthquake and the tsunami, countless survivors, countless zombie monsters, along with high-rise buildings, flowers and trees, were all turned into ashes in that brilliant mushroom cloud.

The blue sky has since become no longer clear, the sea water has evaporated, the earth has been destroyed, and countless dark clouds of radiation dust have drifted in the sky.

The world, which had gradually formed a new order, has re-entered the stage of reshuffling.

………………

Five years later, the time came to the spring of March 2020.

Georgia, Union of People's Territory, Darryl Farms.

Wearing a white vest that shows off his strong muscles, Daryl, a crossbow brother who is approaching thirty years old, is holding a shovel and doing farm work on his farm.

Around him, several young survivors employed by their farms were also meticulously working hard, even when they were tired and sweaty, and their thin clothes were wet with sweat, and they did not have the slightest laziness.

At this time, it is the spring ploughing season, with the great changes in the world, nuclear radiation is raging the world, and the terrorist fungus virus has spread to all corners of the earth, and everything in the world has been changed by it.

Although monsters in the wild have become quite rare compared to a few years ago, the ubiquitous radiation has made these virus-infected monsters even more strange and dangerous.

But no matter what the world looks like, food will always be the most important necessity for the average survivor who is still struggling to survive.

She worked until noon, and with a crisp sound of horses, Beth, a little beauty with a ponytail and a more mature and beautiful appearance, rode a black mare to Daryl's farm.

The girl looked at the men who were still working in the fields, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bring a smile to the corners of her mouth, and she waved her hand and shouted at them:

"Daryl, lunch is here, let's have dinner together."

The girl's voice was sweet with a hint of show-off.

"Today we had everyone's favorite cold corn beer, and I brought a large portion of smoked mole meat from the Bison Tavern."

"You're going to love it."

Hearing this familiar voice, Daryl quickly raised his head and saw his beautiful fiancée, riding on a black county horse, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Even if his personality is more introverted, he, an iron-blooded tough guy, can't help but show a smile.

Ten years have passed since the beginning of the apocalypse, and both humans and monsters have already divided their own areas, as long as they are not wandering around in the wilderness or invading each other's territory, the battles are not as frequent as they were at the beginning.

In today's world, the resources left over from peacetime have basically become waste, and the survivors can only rely on their own labor to obtain the materials for survival.

Stuff a large piece of smoked mole meat into your mouth, with a slightly bitter taste and a somewhat gritty texture, although the taste is not very good, but because of the terrifying fecundity and good nutrition, these mutated mole meat has become the most common meat for ordinary survivors.

They don't even need to be fed for them, no matter what kind of garbage they can digest well.

After all, now, the worse and worse environment has made the delicate livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep more difficult to breed and more precious.

With the income of ordinary survivors, it is not often possible to eat these good things.

Swallowing the mole meat in his mouth, Daryl looked at Beth with a slight smile and asked softly:

"Why did you have time to come here today, is there a holiday at school?"

Beth shook her head, with a smile on her lips, reached out to take Darryl's hand, and said:

"There's no holiday, but the class I brought is going to the academy for half a month of military training in the afternoon, these children can stick to me, I will follow along tomorrow, so I can only take time to see you today."

Seeing this, a few young people who were still eating next to them made a color to each other, and they were very discerning, and went to other places with their rice bowls, without disturbing the couple anymore.

Seeing that there was no one else to disturb, Beth smiled sweetly at the corner of her mouth, sat down next to Daryl, and the two pressed together, and said softly:

"You also know that in recent years, the fame of our People's Federation has become more and more famous, and more and more survivors have climbed mountains and waded through rivers and crossed countless dangers to join us."

"There are also more and more children who are not educated."

"Your Excellency the President has always attached great importance to the education of children, and our school has expanded several times."

Daryl took a sip of a cold corn beer, the slightly spicy taste that made his chest heat slightly.

"Isn't that great? Isn't the reason why our soldiers are fighting so desperately so that their families and children can live a safe life? ”

Beth nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said with a little excitement:

"Darryl, do you know about this federal envoy?"

Hearing this, Daryl paused slightly as he ate, and then asked:

"What's wrong? Is something happening to the Federation? ”

The federal base is near Binghamton, New York, and it was about two years ago that the inhabitants of this group first crossed paths with the People's Federation when they organized a large number of expeditions due to a severe lack of food.

That was the first time they had discovered a large organization with more than 10,000 people, but fortunately, both sides were positive organizations that adhered to order, and did not provoke wars because they found each other's traces, and even reached a relationship of mutual trade because of more frequent exchanges.

However, unlike Georgia Asia, where the People's Federation is located, New York State, where the Federation is located, is close to Washington and New York, two megacities that have been bombed by nuclear bombs.

Not only is the environment polluted, making it difficult to grow a large number of crops, but it is also often attacked by monsters from the radiation zone.

Therefore, the living conditions of this large organization, which has a number of about 30,000, are far more difficult than those on the part of the People's Federation.

They often have to come to the People's Union through trade to seek more food.

And the main commodities that they can trade on the side of the Human Federation are all kinds of technical personnel and medical supplies.

In the aftermath of the disaster, the Commonwealth, as the closest power to the two large metropolises of Washington and New York, joined their survivors, and a large part of them were elites with specialized knowledge.

Although a large part of people's vocational skills can no longer play their due role in the last days, and can only be used as hard labor, as the most important talent for the United Nations, every talent who survives from the last days is a precious wealth left over from the old era.

Moreover, because of its proximity to the two metropolises, the Federation is much more than the Federation in terms of medical technology and pharmaceutical production.

Beth shook her head and thought for a moment, and said with her mouth cocked:

"I heard from my sister that it seems that they are short of food again, and they want to send a large caravan over to make a large-scale deal with us."

Daryl nodded noncommittally.

Because of the advanced thinking of President Lyon, the People's Federation not only organized people to build a large number of farms in the first year after the disaster, but even used vacuum compression technology to produce a large amount of compressed food before the food in the old era was completely rotten.

Although their population has swelled to more than 50,000 today, the organization is not short of food.

In addition to supplying their own needs, some of the agricultural products produced each year will be reprocessed into canned food or other easy-to-preserve food, which will be used as reserve food for future disasters.

Just because food is cheap doesn't mean it's cheap, and in an age when the vast majority of survivors are starving and freezing, food is the currency for arms and medical supplies.

"Is there anything else they have that is worth our food in exchange?"

The people of the Federation are not stupid, and technical talents are something that is valued in any organization, unless they are really forced to do so, and they are about to get by.

Otherwise, the Federation would not have been so extravagant in exchanging scarce talents for food.

Beth looked around with some weakness, then put her mouth close to Daril's ear and whispered:

"I heard Miss Amy say that they will trade two thousand of us civilians for a thousand tons of food this time, and that they will make a secret agreement with the military department."

Speaking of this, Beth smirked and said:

"Of course, they certainly don't say they trade civilians to us as goods, and I've heard them call these civilians dispatch workers."

………………

Georgia, People's Union Base.

This place, which was originally called the Fort Benning Military Base, has been transformed by the People's Federation for nearly nine years, and has been very different from its original appearance.

Not only was it divided into several major areas, such as industrial areas, residential areas, commercial areas and public areas, but the original wall was also strengthened and expanded, and the original military base was almost transformed into a small human town.

As more and more survivors join the organization, job differentiation, the gap between the rich and the poor, and the level of status are slowly becoming apparent.

A large organization of 50,000 people, under the control of high-level managers such as Lyon and a large number of scholars and technicians, gradually turned into a small society similar to semi-military management.

Leaning back in his leather seat, Leon has a focused expression and uses his extraordinary hand speed to control the heroes on the screen to slaughter in the monster pile of enemies, and in this game called Warcraft, the abuse flies.

Just as he was enjoying the fun of the game and enjoying the pleasure of torture, the office door was slammed open, and a cute blonde girl wearing a princess dress and a double ponytail broke in with an innocent and cute smile.

After seeing the handsome man sitting on the leather seat, the little girl's eyes narrowed into crescents, revealing a brighter smile, and the little white teeth missing two teeth made her look more clever and cute.

"Daddy, I'm back!"

While shouting for her father, the little girl pounced on the handsome man at a speed that was difficult for ordinary children to achieve.

Leon had already heard the little girl's movements, and when she pounced, he gently grabbed the little girl in his arms with a flick of his left hand.

"Hee-hee-hee!"

Being held in the arms of the man, the little girl immediately showed a silver bell-like laugh, chirp, chirp, and kissed two on the man's slightly stubble chin.

The warm and soft touch in his arms filled Leon's heart with love, and he kissed the little girl on the forehead and asked:

"Little Alice, are you having fun in Miami Beach?"

The little girl nodded seriously, pointed her finger to her lips, and said sweetly:

"The seaside was fun, it was warm, the big crabs were delicious, and the lobsters and big fish."

"Dad, can we eat crabs every day in the future?"

Leon scratched the little girl's chin with a smile and said softly:

"No, little Alice, although the big crab is delicious, eating too much is not good for the body, and a good child must eat more vegetables."

Alice held her mouth, snorted, and said:

"Hmph, I want to eat meat, not vegetables."

Leon laughed and coaxed his little daughter, and a cold-looking blonde beauty walked in from outside the office.

She stood at the door, watching the interaction between her boss and little Alice, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but bring a warm smile.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, when little Alice was taken away by the wet nurse who came, the blonde beauty slowly walked to Leon's side, gently helped him tidy up, and the neckline that was messed up by the child said:

"Boss, the Federation's caravan will pass through Washington's Radiation Zone in three days."

"Their envoy, they hope we can send a force to escort them."

"The federal commitment will give us more discounts when we trade."

Hearing this, Leon nodded indifferently, sat down in his seat again, and said:

"Now that this group of workers has decided to sell it to us, it is already our property."

"I'll have Colonel Frank go and protect them, and send an elite of the Stinger squad over by the way."

"Hathaway and Dr. Melfa have urged me many times to demand the latest monster samples in the radiation zone."

"These disgusting things, all hiding in the radiation zone, don't know what they have mutated into."

Avril pulled her long blonde hair, as an infected person of the zombie virus, five years of time did not leave any traces on her body, but made her physical condition better than ordinary people, since she was infected with the virus, the pain seemed to be far away from her body.

Sometimes she also thinks that maybe the zombie virus can really open the way of human evolution, and the human association that has mastered zombie technology and is constantly developing new technologies is her strongest support for evolution.

"Boss, the railroad between us and the Florida branch has been basically completed, and the completion ceremony can be held at any time to start normal operation."

"The think tank would like you to pick a time to announce this good news to our residents."

Leon nodded, in the past five years, the People's Federation has not continued to expand its territory outward, but has spent most of its energy on building and consolidating the two territories of Georgia and Florida.

After all, their total number has only exceeded 50,000 so far, and occupying too much land will distract their defenses.

However, although it did not continue to expand its territory externally, due to the implementation of the base network plan, in addition to the two major bases of the People's Federation, in the territory of America, the People's Federation also has hundreds of small bases outside the base, helping them to monitor this dangerous land at any time.

With a smile on his lips, Leon continued to turn on the computer and restarted a new game.

"Then we'll make an announcement when the Federation's envoy arrives with the caravan."

"It's just a good time for our allies to share the good news with us."
