Chapter 84: Terminal and Fort Benning
He didn't exchange pleasantries with the girls. He walked to their table, reached out and picked up the largest chocolate cake, stuffed it into his mouth, swallowed it in a few bites, and said under the girls' snickering eyes:
"Maggie, how is the collection of supplies for the spring planting going?"
The girl swallowed a mouthful of cream, took out a tissue and wiped her mouth, then said in distress:
"Everyone in the search team worked very hard. We have collected almost all the farm machinery, tools, and fertilizers. But maybe it's because too much time has passed. I searched several farm warehouses but couldn't find a large amount of qualified crop seeds."
"I discussed this with my father, and he said that if we really can't find that much seeds, we can only plant less crops this year and save the food harvested in the fall as seeds for next year."
Leon nodded. He was a complete layman when it came to farming and knew nothing about it.
However, most packaged foods are still within their shelf life. As long as you go to large supermarkets or warehouses in the city and search a few times, you don't have to worry about food shortages in the next few years.
Moreover, the plantation plan is a long-term and core project. We cannot be impatient, but must lay a solid foundation and expand step by step.
The three of them ate dessert and chatted about family matters. At the end, Maggie asked a little embarrassedly:
"Mr. Custer, can I ask you a favor?"
Leon glanced at Amy, who was smiling, and replied with a kind smile on his face:
"What's wrong? Maggie, if you need any help, just ask. Your family has helped me a lot, and I should repay you."
But at the beginning of the doomsday, no one understood the virus. It was hard for them to imagine how their sick friends and relatives could suddenly turn into hideous and terrifying zombies, pounce on them, tear their flesh and take their lives.
No wonder after he entered the prison, everyone he saw was busy with their own things, with no fear or confusion on their faces. It was obvious that the fulfilling work made them forget all their worries.
According to their information, Fort Benning was originally the largest military base in Georgia, with nearly 10,000 professional soldiers stationed there.
It was at that time that all official organizations suffered unimaginable damage and were almost paralyzed.
The final conclusion was that we could send someone from the terminal to resolve the problem quickly.
Not only that, Kevila also fully utilized the existing resources around the prison base. He not only planted vegetables, fruits and melons in the yard outside the prison and raised some chickens and ducks, but he even saw a small pigpen and three fat little white pigs.
However, as the leader of an organization, you cannot make any decisions lightly, and everything must be based on intelligence.
Leon recalled Maggie's sister, the lovely little girl, Beth, who was called the most beautiful girl in the whole show by many netizens.
However, at this moment, some brain-dead ruler actually issued an order to indiscriminately massacre all the survivors in the refugee camps, because he was afraid that they would turn into zombies after death and strengthen the enemy.
As a result, within just a few days, violent unrest, riots, fleeing, looting, and fighting occurred all over the world.
Not only did America lose a large number of professional soldiers, but even the survivors who fled to refugee camps suffered unimaginable losses.
After all, the experience package is there and will not run away for no reason, so everything needs to be considered carefully.
Leon took note of this information and prepared to take people to recruit these survivors in a few days.
The same is true at Fort Benning Military Base. The soldiers stationed here simply could not imagine that their former comrades-in-arms and respected superiors suddenly turned into murderous monsters and began to indiscriminately slaughter all living people.
"She doesn't want to stay in Oak Village anymore and wants to find a job in this base. I would like to ask you to arrange a better position for her."
"It's my sister Beth!"
Fort Benning in Georgia, a refugee camp ruled by the military, was destroyed for the same reason.
After the initial chaos, the remaining soldiers made up their minds, put aside their emotional constraints, and killed all the zombies in the base. As a result, only less than 1,000 of the more than 10,000 soldiers were left.
But no matter what the truth is, the fact that Fort Benning fell is there. As the largest military base in the entire Georgia and in the famously wealthy America, the advanced equipment and ammunition supplies there must be unimaginable, enough to support the consumption of a small-scale international war.
She snorted at her brother who was covering his head in grievance and didn't dare to respond, then turned to look at Leon expectantly and said:
"Boss, do you want to go on this mission with us?"
Fortunately, this beautiful woman was not only his defeated opponent and his capable subordinate, but also his concubine and confidante.
However, no matter what, as the order spread, all military refugee camps fell into chaos, and the relationship between soldiers and refugees became a powder keg ready to explode.
However, as time passed, the military, having lost its command system, became increasingly unable to resist the endless hordes of zombies swarming from all over the country. Their orders were frequently wrong, and various supplies were on the verge of exhaustion and could not be delivered to military bases across the country.
Another good news is that one of the survivors recruited from the prison base a few days ago provided intelligence about weapons and equipment.
"The prison base over there is quite far from us. It will take ten hours to go back and forth."
To be honest, he is not very interested. He likes capable, well-mannered and well-figured beauties, not these naive and romantic little girls.
"Thank you, Mr. Custer."
"The boss asked us to investigate, so we went to investigate. Why are you asking so many questions?"
Sherman touched his chin and asked in confusion:
"Mr. Custer, why do you suddenly want to investigate there?"
Maggie glanced at Amy, who was pretending to be reserved, and immediately smiled ingratiatingly.
However, Leon was not in a hurry to find Kevila. After sending away the guards, he began to wander around the prison base, observing the changes that had taken place here over the past month.
Even in this doomsday, it is considered a large community, and is not much inferior to the Hilltop Village that appeared later, the Kingdom of God.
Some professional soldiers chose to follow orders from their superiors and began to massacre refugees, while some soldiers could not accept the inner moral condemnation and became deserters.
Lumberyards, fishing nets, hunting teams, watchtowers, patrols, everything you can think of.
There were so many positions, so many projects, even the survivors from Woodbury, everyone was assigned a corresponding job.
Including the sixty or seventy survivors of Woodbury, the Glenn team he dispatched, and some logistics personnel sent over later, the total number of people in this stronghold has reached nearly one hundred and fifty.
But no matter what, in recent times, in addition to those busy construction tasks, they have an additional combat task that requires a large number of manpower.
In this way, due to fierce internal struggles and powerful external threats, almost all camps were overwhelmed by huge hordes of zombies in a very short time.
A few days later, after arranging the government affairs in the base, Lyon brought a small team of guards to the prison base in Tennessee.
Peggy, who was standing next to him, didn't pamper her brother at all. She stood on tiptoe and hit him hard on the head, saying:
There must be countless zombies gathered at Fort Benning. With the strength of the Umbrella Corporation, they don't need to confront them head-on. They can either use a war of attrition to slowly consume the zombies there, or they can use the strategy of luring the enemy and leading away the zombies there.
Of course, this is just a reason circulated among the survivors and its credibility is not high.
Not only has the metal mesh wall in the prison been reinforced, but a moat about one and a half meters deep has also been dug around the outer wall. Such a pit can effectively prevent vehicles from colliding with the metal mesh wall, and the situation in which the governor uses a tank to overturn the prison wall in the plot will no longer occur.
After a little thought, he said:
"No problem, let Amy arrange this matter. She is your good friend and will definitely find an easy and safe job for Beth."
After an inspection, Leon found that the red-haired girl Kevila managed the place very well.
These infected people who could turn into zombies at any time are causing more deaths, injuries and chaos in the huge refugee camps all the time.
However, the military took drastic measures and killed all the injured survivors regardless of any obstruction. This soon pushed the refugees to the opposite side, turning it into a tense and mutually wary opposition.
The refugees who got the news would not surrender. They chose to fight desperately or escape quietly. Many extreme survivors even directly opened the wall defending against the zombies, attracting the zombies in an attempt to die together.
"Investigate the terminus of a railway near the prison stronghold?"
All military refugee camps are on the verge of collapse.
Leon touched the girl's head with some embarrassment and said comfortingly:
"I've been busy at the company lately, but if you guys really find any useful information, I'll go with you."
If it were a man, Leon would have considered whether such a capable subordinate should be entrusted with an important task.
Maggie was not the kind of girl who was very delicate and pretentious. After hearing what Leon said, she smiled brightly and said:
However, things did not go as smoothly as imagined. Even though these soldiers relied on powerful weapons to block the swarming zombies, among the refugees they took in, there were always many infected people who were bitten by zombies but concealed the fact.
One was the terminal station that Peggy and her brother were investigating. It was found in a station more than 20 kilometers away from the prison base. It was not only relatively safe, but also home to a group of survivors.
After hearing this news, even Leon, a time traveler, couldn't help but fall into a short daze.
He was not surprised by the red-haired girl's behavior. Kevera was a woman with a strong personality, and she had that kind of relationship with him. Why would she be angry over such a small matter?
After rewarding the new employee who provided the information with a considerable bonus, Lyon called together his team leaders to discuss the two pieces of information in detail.
For the Umbrella Corporation, which lacks military equipment, this is truly a huge and surprising experience package.
Even he, who was well-informed, was shocked by the military's breathtaking operation.
But the virus came too suddenly. In just one night, more than 90% of the soldiers were infected with the virus and fell into a state of high fever, confusion and inability to take care of themselves.
Unexpectedly, after arriving here, Kevera didn't even make any preparations to welcome him. She just informed him casually on the radio that she was busy handling affairs and asked Leon to find her in the office himself.
A few days later, Lyon suddenly received two good news.
Several of them were refugees who had escaped from the Fort Benning military base.
The changes here made Lyon secretly shocked. As expected of a rich girl who had received elite education since childhood, even as a manager, it was easy for her to manage her subordinates in an orderly manner.
But before they had time to rest, they received an order from their superiors to turn the entire Fort Benning military base into a huge refugee shelter to receive refugees from the entire state of Georgia.
According to the intelligence obtained by drone investigation, there are about 30 survivors, both young and old, and they are currently living a relatively peaceful life.
Looking at the two girls playing and fighting on the sofa, their attractive bodies full of youthfulness, time flies by in the blink of an eye.
In the afternoon, Leon came to the armed mechanical training class again, found Peggy and her brother, and gave them an important task.
After the inspection, Leon came to the room that used to be the warden's room alone and saw Kevlar, who was wearing a slim white women's suit, with her red hair tied up behind her head and a pair of small black-framed glasses.
This woman had a serious face and handled her official business meticulously. When she saw Leon coming in, she just glanced at him casually and said with a hint of sarcasm:
"Haha, here comes a bastard who likes to steal food. That little girl Peggy tastes pretty good, right?"
