On the windswept wasteland, a force of hundreds of men is slowly advancing.

The soldiers in front of the unit were all tall, nearly two meters, wearing black metal armor, as if they were a group of ancient warriors who came out of the Middle Ages, but the various modern firearms and weapons carried by them showed their identities as modern soldiers.

Behind them, hundreds of young soldiers were all dressed in neat and modern equipment, green uniforms, closed helmets, brand new bulletproof vests, and many of them were emblazoned with various insignia of the Ameritan Army.

At the rear of the troops, light wagons made of a mixture of metal and wood, a dozen or so horses specialized in consignment of goods, panting for breath, consigned these supplies.

In the aftermath of the disaster, the road was already flat and wide and shattered by the nuclear explosion, and from time to time there would be a huge crack or uneven crater, making it very difficult to transport the carriages.

Due to severe soil erosion and capricious weather, a few years ago, the green vegetation forests have been replaced by ugly and sharp desertification plants.

On both sides of the road, the sturdy reinforced concrete buildings were also turned into stumps under the strong shock wave.

Riding on a brown warhorse, Frank scouts his surroundings with a blank face, alert for mutated monsters that may appear at any time.

Frank, the former captain of the Iron Wolf, has now become Colonel Frank of the Human Federation, and as the defense between Georgia and Florida grows tighter, the military forts he manages gradually lose their effectiveness.

As the eldest brother of President Leon, this legendary soldier in the past army, although he does not want to see his brother-in-law, he still enjoys a special status in the Ministry of the People's Alliance.

Half of the soldiers of the Death Corps, the most elite of the entire Death Corps, served under him.

"Colonel Frank, how many times have you crossed the Radiation Zone?"

A young officer, who was not very old and looked a little weak, rode a war horse, walked beside Frank, and asked with a somewhat nervous expression:

"I've heard that the monsters in the radiation zone are more ferocious and powerful than the monsters outside."

"Have you ever hunted these monsters with your own hands?"

Hearing this, Frank, who was riding at the front, looked at the young man with an expressionless gaze, until he looked a little uncomfortable, and then said coldly:

"Lieutenant Daniel, no matter what kind of monsters, the bullets that face us will be killed, instead of worrying about their strength, it is better to spend more time on the usual training."

"In the Radiation Zone, as long as you don't cause trouble, those monsters have their own survival tracks."

The young officer, Daniel, bowed his head with some shame when he heard Colonel Frank's lesson.

The team escorting the federal envoy this time sent a total of 300 people, of which 100 were veterans of the Death Corps, and the other 200 were recruits who had just graduated from the military academy.

The entire escort mission is also a training mission for veterans to lead recruits.

The influx of a large number of people, in addition to bringing a large number of labor to the People's Federation, also caused their military power to expand rapidly.

However, with the sharp decrease in the number of zombies in the wild, the need for soldiers in the Human Federation is not as urgent as it used to be.

In order to ensure the industrial strength of the People's Federation, President Lyon has always adopted a policy of elite soldiers, and all professional soldiers selected from the survivors must not only undergo combat training every day, but also carry out education on militarization knowledge.

The skill requirements for each soldier are comparable to those of a junior officer in peacetime.

At present, there are more than 4,000 cadets in the military academy, and every soldier has to undergo a three-year training period after joining the military department.

A soldier who has not passed the military knowledge test, even if he has achieved great military achievements, will not be able to promote the management of the army.

And just a few kilometers in front of this unit, a five-person Stinger team was conducting preliminary reconnaissance for them.

It's still the same black and dull Guardian armor, but after five years, with the efforts of the Research Department, the equipment of the Stinger Team has also been improved to a considerable extent.

After consuming almost all of the special spider silk, combined with the special materials they obtained from other super mutants, the scientific research department has created a total of thirty sets of new guardian armor.

After many member changes, some of the original veteran members have been promoted or retired, and a large number of new generation fighters who graduated from the academy have joined this powerful unit and become the strongest private armed force under President Lyon.

Under the black metal helmet, a young female voice asked curiously:

"Captain Jesus, I heard that five years ago, you and Captain Rick led a group of survivors through the entire Fallout Zone, all the way from Ohio to our Human Union base, is it true?"

"Have you encountered a lot of monsters?"

Walking in the forefront, holding a black assault rifle, Jesus did not look back, recalled a few seconds, and said in a sighing tone:

"It's true, Jill, at that time, I hadn't joined the Human Federation, but lived with a group of other survivors in a place called Peak Village."

"After the nuclear explosion, all the survivors were terrified by the devastating catastrophe."

"Eventually, after consulting with the survivors of several camps, under the leadership of Captain Rick, Mr. Sean and Colonel Daryl, we organized all the survivors who were willing to join the Human Federation together, and traveled through the radiation zone near Washington, D.C., climbing mountains and rivers, and finally reaching Georgia Asia."

At this point, Jesus said with emotion:

"At that time, we were preparing to deal with a force called the Salvation Army, and His Excellency the President sent Colonel Darryl to support us."

"We've been planning for a month, and we've even set a trap just waiting for the Salvation Army bastards to step in."

"As a result, who would have thought that such a catastrophe would happen."

"There's no one who cares about those Salvation Army bastards anymore."

"We, plus the soldiers brought by Colonel Darryl, nearly a thousand of them, first suffered under the ground for more than a month, enduring cold, enduring hunger, and hiding from the radioactive dust flying in the sky."

"On the way back, we not only have to face all kinds of bad weather and environment, but also have to deal with the tide of corpses pouring in from all directions."

"Thanks to the command and support of His Excellency the President, we were able to escape from these dangerous cracks."

After listening to this, Jill was a little surprised.

"Zombie tide? Did you still encounter a wave of corpses? ”

At that time, Jill was still a student at the military academy, and he was focused on improving his combat ability, and he did not know much about the outside world.

Jesus nodded, and suddenly shot a green fly larger than a fist, and then made a gesture to the other team members.

In an instant, the other four team members, including Jill, immediately strafed the hundreds of large green flies that suddenly burst into their field of vision.

It took less than a minute to kill all of these flying knick-knacks, leaving them sprinkled with disgusting green minced flesh.

It wasn't until one of the team members took out the glass jar in his backpack and collected a sample of the big green flies that Jesus replied:

"Yes, Jill, you've probably learned from your textbooks that the zombies of the old days were always attracted to sound and radiation."

"And during the nuclear explosion, the huge explosion in the radiation area and the unimaginable nuclear radiation are the biggest temptations to attract these zombies."

"Do you know why, the number of monsters in the wild has decreased dramatically now?"

"It's these radiation areas, large and small, that attract most of the zombies."

"During that time, the zombies that poured in from all directions formed a steady stream of corpses."

"It was a difficult journey, but thanks to the brave Colonel Daryl and his brave Men Union soldiers, the survivors who followed us survived."

Jill imagined the scene at that time, with a team of thousands of people, facing the danger of the radiation zone on the one hand, and the continuous flow of corpses on the other, it was indeed unimaginable danger.

She hesitated, but then asked:

"With so many survivors, how did you get out?"

Jesus smiled bitterly and said:

"What else can I do, I can only fight for my life."

"And did you forget? At that time, the gasoline had not yet been infected by the bacterial virus, and we all ran back in the car, much faster than now. ”

While the two were still chatting, they suddenly heard a burst of gunshots.

In an instant, all the team members were alert, although their armor could defend against firearms to a large extent, but the bullet hit the body, it was also very painful, and no one wanted to be bruised by the bullet.

A large man with a large body and a howitzer on his back, took up the binoculars and looked at them, and immediately pointed in the direction to their right, shouting:

"Captain, it's on the right, there's a battle going on in the abandoned building on the right."

"I saw a couple of humans, no heavy weapons."

When Jesus heard this, he thought for a few seconds and then said to the other team members:

"Let's go over and take a look, maybe it's a group of survivors, let's help them if we can."

………………

Dwight was panicked at this time, and this time while Negan was away on other missions, he finally found an opportunity to escape from the Salvation Army base with his wife Shirley and two horses.

Unfortunately, not long after he escaped, he was discovered by Simon, the leader of Negan's subordinates.

This guy is the most violent and murderous of Negan's leaders, and once even disobeyed Negan's orders and brutally tortured and killed an entire camp of survivors, and was severely taught by Negan for this incident.

I didn't expect them to be so crazy, Dwight and Shirley were chased into the radiation zone, and these guys dared to catch up, they were simply crazy.

Holding his wife, who had been injured by strange mosquitoes in the radiation zone, Dwight stood above the broken stairway, taking advantage of the terrain to suppress the members of the Salvation Army below.

Simon, who was blocked by him, had a cruel smile in his eyes, and shouted triumphantly:

"Haha, Dwight, you can't run away this time."

"Dare to take advantage of Negan's outing to run away with Negan's wife, haha, even if he kills you this time, he will have nothing to say."

Hearing this, Dwight was furious, and he fired a shot at Simon's location, shouting:

"Falk oil, Simon, Shirley is my wife, it was that bastard Negan who snatched her, and you, like him, are the scum who drove hell."

Simon ducked behind a broken rock, dodging the bullets fired by Dwight, mentally calculating how many bullets he still had in his pistol, but continued to mock in his mouth:

"Give up, Dwight."

"If you surrender obediently, we can still give you a good time."

"There are ten of us here, and you can't win us."

"Whether Shirley is your wife or Negan's wife, she is very beautiful, and after killing you, we will love her here for you."

Dwight was furious but anxious, for Shirley had a high fever and fell into a coma after being bitten by the strange-looking mosquito, and was now unable to continue riding horses.

Otherwise, the two of them wouldn't have been blocked by Simon's men here.

Now that he is blocked by such a large group of vicious bastards, and he only has two pistols in his hand, this time it is very likely that it will be the end of him and Shirley.

Thinking of this, looking at his wife's pale face and falling into a coma, Dwight began to struggle in his heart, perhaps, it is the best choice to send away his favorite wife now, end her pain, and then, go and fight Simon to the death below.

However, before he could make up his mind, a noisy gunfire suddenly came from under the corridor.

"There's a sneak attack!"

"Attack them!"

"Ahh My hand. ”

"I've been shot, teach me."

"Don't kill me, spare me."

Accompanied by a jumble of shouts, several men who seemed to be Simon's men let out a terrible cry of pain.

Then, a voice that seemed somewhat familiar, which he had once heard, said:

"It's interesting, I didn't expect to meet acquaintances here."

"Simon, do you remember me?"

Facing the man's question, Simon looked at the muzzle of the other party's black hole, looked at the somewhat familiar face in the helmet, recalled for dozens of seconds, and then said in an uncertain voice:

"Is it you, the traitor of the hilltop village, Jesus?"

"You're still alive?"

As soon as he finished speaking, standing beside Jesus, a very handsome-looking girl kicked him in the face with great speed.

The hard iron boots directly shaved off several of Simon's teeth, and also kicked him with the intention of reaching for the pistol behind him.

Jesus glanced at Simon with a look of self-restraint and waved his hand as his men tied up the group.

He actually didn't have much friendship with Simon, but he had met a few times when he was undercover in the Salvation Army, and there was nothing to talk about between the two sides except for Negan and the Salvation Army.

After being knocked to the ground, Simon's expression was not fearless, but instead stared at Jesus with a grim expression, saying:

"Boy, there are only five of you, and you dare to provoke our Salvation Army, it seems that you are all tired of it."

"If we hadn't gone back, the rest of the Salvation Army would have found you."

"Get acquainted, it's better to let us go, otherwise ............"

However, before he could say anything, he was hit by another hard kick in the stomach, which directly kicked Simon to the ground and spit out the bitter water, lying on the ground like a dead fish, his eyes rolling and squirming in pain.

Jill's father was killed by the marauders, leaving her and her mother to live together, and the reason why she trained so hard in the military academy and graduated with top grades was largely out of hatred for these scumbags.

Seeing this, a boy named Chris walked up to Jill, who was still angry, and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Jill, since it's in our hands, these guys will be caught in the prisoner camp to work as coolies, and they will suffer when the time comes."

Jill snorted angrily, gathered all the weapons on the ground, and then took out bandages with some disgust, and bandaged the wounds of the wounded members of the Salvation Army, lest the coolies die in vain due to excessive bleeding.

Jesus, as the captain, did not deal with these little things, he walked a few steps to the bottom of the staircase, showed half his face, and shouted to Dwight, who was still watching the situation above:

"Do you need help, Dwight?"
