Chapter 119 Planning Thanksgiving
But for Lyon, this period was not only a bumper harvest of crops, but also a bumper harvest of various materials.
As his four troops continued to clean up all human settlements in Georgia, the supplies that were still usable were collected and concentrated by the accompanying logistics troops and transported to Fort Benning Army Base in a steady stream.
Almost all the transportation teams within the company have started working at full capacity. On the main interstate highways, vehicles are coming and going, and most of them are fleets belonging to the Umbrella Company.
However, as various materials accumulated more and more, Leon soon fell into a kind of happy trouble.
Four convoys of 100 people continuously transported supplies, filling up the warehouses of the entire Fort Benning base. Even though Lyon had built five new super-large warehouses a month ago, it still could not meet the daily influx of thousands or tens of thousands of tons of supplies.
Among these supplies, most food and luxury snacks have a shelf life of only one to two years.
It is about to expire, so it would be a waste and meaningless to put it in the warehouse.
Lyon struggled in his mind for a while, but ultimately he didn't want to waste these hard-earned resources, so he decided to recycle them.
However, this may also be because the number of people within the company is not too large at present, only less than 4,000 people. Although there are conflicts between small groups, they have not yet reached the point of breaking off relations.
Leading the group were two little black guys, one was Kenny's son Dak, and the other was Morgan's son Dwayne. The two boys were very lively, talking and laughing along the way, and turning back from time to time to show their racial talents to their friends, singing and dancing rap.
After hearing the news from Carol, Leon was really touched. In just over a year, the fate of the characters in the plot seemed to have been changed by him. Everyone embarked on a different trajectory, and it seemed to be a happier trajectory.
It is not only a reward for those good people who are still trying to survive in the doomsday, but also a way to show the strength of Umbrella Corporation to the survivors and give everyone a sense of belonging and confidence.
"I heard from little Clementine that Lao Li seems to be dating Carol, and they seem to be getting close to getting married."
Her job is to manage the daily lives of those children and prevent them from doing dangerous things. It is a position that requires long working hours but is also quite tedious.
Leon had a very keen eye for observation. In addition to this, he also saw a pair of somewhat unexpected people behind the group of children, following them from a distance.
After a detailed examination using various instruments, Lyon found that their future child was very healthy and growing very well, even exceeding the standards of ordinary babies.
I don't know if it's the effect of the cheat in Leon's body, but since becoming pregnant, even the two mothers, Peggy and Amy, have become somewhat different from ordinary people.
Not only has my appetite increased, but my strength and stamina have also grown significantly. Sometimes when the three of us are having fun, we often fight from late at night until the early morning, lasting five or six hours, and I don't feel too tired.
As if seeing Leon's slightly surprised expression, Amy also looked up, guessed what was going on, and started to explain to him with a sweet smile.
However, considering the mountains of expiring food and supplies, as well as the impact and confidence brought by a huge celebration after the doomsday disaster, they all agreed with Lyon's point of view, and began to make plans, arrange various activities, and the corresponding work of the celebration.
Because they all came from the same camp and Carol was a single mother, Amy paid more attention to her.
Until now, they have been wandering between various towns, relying on collecting supplies, picking fruits and vegetables, hunting, fishing and other means to make a living.
It turned out to be Lao Li, who has become a history teacher, and Carol, the god of war who had not been seen for a long time.
But Carol has always worked very hard and has been praised by many people.
After thinking for a while, he turned to say a few words to Peggy, and then Peggy, with her slightly bulging belly, brought little Clementine from the group of children to Leon.
Following behind them was a group of boys and girls around 10 years old, including Rick's son Carl, Carol's daughter Sophia, Professor Amlin's two children, the brave and lovely little Clementine, and a dozen children of all ages following this group.
However, no matter what, the staff in the company are indeed very hard-working. Over the past year or so, they have been either digging pits or carrying things. Most of the time, they have to serve as the hardest-working construction workers, exposed to wind and sun, and basically have few holidays.
The next day, the news that Lyon wanted to hold a harvest celebration was notified to the prison base and the Oak Village base. It also began to spread quietly among the company's internal employees and the survivors in the surrounding area.
This is a good opportunity to demonstrate the powerful strength of Umbrella Corporation, form an absolute deterrent, and perhaps even harvest a batch of leeks from these people.
Moreover, within the company, Lyon has always adopted an attitude of treating everyone equally. Promotions in positions and treatment depend on the abilities and contributions of each individual. Everyone has the opportunity to be promoted based on their abilities, and the more work they do, the more they get paid. The system is clear, and there is very little internal corruption and fraud. So far, there has been no scandal caused by system problems.
At this point, Amy whispered to Leon:
Two middle-aged men and women followed the children from a distance, their bodies leaning very close to each other, talking and laughing, and they seemed to be having a very good chat.
Having noticed these trends, Lyon was actually happy with the way things were developing. There was no harm in the spread of this news.
Although a large number of the more than 1,000 free survivors in Troy were recruited by them, not all of them were willing to join an organization and be bound by it.
On the morning of October 13, Leon accompanied his two pregnant wives, Peggy and Amy, for a walk in the sun. They were both almost five months pregnant and there were obvious signs of bulge in their abdomens.
It turned out that since moving to Fort Benning and the establishment of the education system, Carol gave up her original logistics work, passed the teacher qualification assessment, joined the base school, and became a professional teaching assistant in a lower grade class.
On the contrary, the fighters of the Security Department, although they have been engaged in the most dangerous, life-and-death battles with zombies and predators, the time of actual fighting is always relatively short. Apart from daily training, they basically have some time to relax and leisure.
Although little Clementine has become like little Amy's goddaughter, she still accompanies Leon and others for dinner from time to time.
Amy and Peggy were somewhat accustomed to such scenes. Although they didn't understand why Clementine was afraid of Leon, they looked at the man with strange expressions, and were curious in their hearts why he needed Clementine.
It has been sixteen months since the disaster broke out. Although the employees of Umbrella Corporation occasionally have minor conflicts, they are still extremely united as a whole, and none of the troublesome things reported in the news in the past have occurred.
When the three were admiring the fountain and grass in the park, they suddenly saw a group of children coming towards them. Leon looked carefully and found that many of them were people he knew.
If you want to do it, just do it. That night he held a small meeting with the managers within the organization, although no one knew why the boss suddenly wanted to hold a harvest season celebration.
Thinking of this, Lyon calculated in his mind that in exactly 20 days, November 1st would be the harvest Thanksgiving Day, a very famous traditional festival in Europe and the United States.
He could take this opportunity to hold a three-day large-scale harvest festival celebration to use up the food and luxuries that were about to expire.
Even they themselves could clearly feel these changes. However, as the closest people in the apocalypse, after Leon's vague explanation, the two considerate girls tacitly kept the matter in their hearts and did not question it anymore.
If we also count the lone wanderers who have gathered here from surrounding areas, the number of people in this group is probably close to seven or eight hundred.
But the girl still had some instinctive fear of Leon. Although she didn't know what Uncle Custer wanted to talk to him about, she still hid behind Sister Amy at the first moment, looking at Leon with the eyes of a little rabbit, waiting for his speech.
Leon ignored the curious looks of his little wives, cleared his throat, reached out and rubbed his palm on the little girl's head, and said:
"Little Clementine, uncle needs your help with something right now. This can also be considered a gift to you."
"This matter is very important to my uncle, can you help me?"
Little Clementine looked up at Amy after hearing this, thought for a few seconds, and said:
"Okay, Uncle Custer, I'll help you."
