Chapter 85 Gray
Faintly coming from inside the door was a blushing noisy sound and a woman's begging for mercy.
It was two hours later when Leon saw her again.
The three of them were sitting in the office. Peggy keenly noticed that Miss Cavella, who usually had a stern expression, now had a faint smile on her face, her eyes were hazy, her cheeks were slightly red, and her delicate little mouth was re-applied with lipstick.
Not only did he kindly prepare desserts and coffee for her, he also changed his white suit and black stockings to his current black suit and trousers.
Leon leaned back in his office chair, looking quite refreshed, smoking a cigar, and asked:
"Peggy, have you contacted them yet?"
"What's their attitude? Are they willing to meet?"
Peggy's eyes were a little evasive, not daring to look directly into the boss's eyes. She adjusted her numb thoughts and said:
"Yes, I delivered the message by drone."
"Their leader is a young man in his 30s named Gray. He is very friendly and willing to communicate with us. He welcomes us to visit them."
Leon did not refuse. After following Gray into the terminal, he also observed the place carefully.
Leon let go of Gray's hand and said with a smile:
Leon nodded. A small camp of about 30 people was not worth his attention. If he did not want to make up for the regrets he had when watching the TV series in his previous life, he would not even have to meet these people in person. He could just send a small team over and start the recruitment process.
Glenn kissed Judy on the forehead lovingly.
However, he always went to various places to serve as a volunteer in the past, and he also met various people. With a kind smile on his face, he said to Leon and the people behind him:
The newly hired senior chef, Old John, is worthy of being the head chef of a high-end restaurant. The rich and delicious lunch brought satisfaction and happiness to everyone.
"Hello, I am Leon Custer, the manager of Umbrella Corporation."
"Even if you are unwilling to join our company, we can still conduct normal trade and exchange the materials that the other party lacks."
Leon didn't play tricks with them. He reached out and shook Gray's hand, introducing himself:
"Take a long-term view, and you will have all of these in the future."
Instead, he asked Peggy to continue controlling the reconnaissance drone and pass on the message to the survivors inside.
But these are all minor details. Based on Leon's understanding of the existing survivors, few survivors can refuse the Umbrella Corporation, which is a large, safe and orderly company.
"I will swear to them that I am willing to use my life to protect your safety and will not let anything hurt you. I will work harder to make you live a happier life."
Peggy looked up in surprise, looking at Leon's slightly shameless smile. She didn't expect that Mr. Custer, whom she admired, was so thick-skinned.
No one noticed the sweet words between the young couple. With the help of reconnaissance drones, the convoy quickly approached the terminal.
This is a transit station for trains to transport materials, store goods, and deliver merchandise.
"This is also for your health's sake."
Ten minutes later, Leon followed the process to introduce to them the scale of Umbrella Corporation, the goal of rebuilding the human home, and the belief in protecting human civilization. He also took out some videos, photos, specialties, and various things that could verify the authenticity.
"Are they free to go with me this afternoon?"
"I also saw high-end wedding dresses available for purchase in the base warehouse, and the diamond and gemstone jewelry is also very cheap. I will buy everything you like. When you marry me, you will definitely be the most beautiful bride."
Judy had a happy smile on her face, but she hummed and said:
"Mr. Gray, these are my subordinates, responsible for protecting my safety."
"Don't talk nonsense, girl. I value your management ability. I believe in you and trust you to manage this base for me."
"In that case, after lunch, let's take some people over to take a look!"
"Don't worry. After I leave, Mr. Glenn next to me will be responsible for handing over this matter to you."
"Even in a world like this, we can definitely have a happy and complete family."
"You have managed very well. Once you have gathered the survivors and supplies from the surrounding areas, we will be able to continue our progress in the direction of Tennessee."
Gray shook hands with Leon in a daze, wondering what this so-called Umbrella Company was that could easily send out dozens of fully armed soldiers.
No one answered and the scene fell silent for a moment. It seemed that everyone was intimidated by the dozens of fully armed strong men on the opposite side. The survivors at the terminal also gradually felt the pressure and began to feel uneasy.
As for the few remaining stubborn and paranoid survivors, Lyon was not surprised. With the current size of their company, one or two stubborn people with character flaws were not worthy of sympathy at all.
Upon hearing the news, some of the survivors at the terminal were excited, some were skeptical, some were looking forward to it, and some were resistant.
Obviously, these were all written by Gray and his gang themselves. Their original intentions were good, and they hoped to help more people in distress. However, they did not understand that people in the last days were vicious, and they did not have enough power to protect themselves, so such kindness would instead attract jackals and ruin their own happiness.
The leading man had a sincere look in his eyes and a full smile on his face. He walked up to Leon and the others without any doubt and said:
"Hello, I'm Gray Blount, welcome to our camp."
Ten minutes later, he saw a kind-looking young man in his 30s walking out of the camp at the terminal with seven or eight survivors.
But the defense here is too weak. The outer perimeter is only a two-meter-high ordinary metal mesh fence to block the zombies outside. Not to mention whether it can prevent the impact of other predators' vehicles, I am afraid that even a tide of thousands of zombies cannot be resisted.
The red-haired girl glared at Leon coquettishly, then reached out to help him straighten his crooked bow tie and said:
"They found a preservatives processing plant, and I asked them to clean it up and bring back all the preservatives."
Leon sighed in his heart and walked out from behind the crowd.
Finally, Gray and others began to believe the truth of his words.
"I have already observed this part of the prison."
Glenn touched the girl's head, held her in his arms, and said happily:
"Of course, Mr. Custer is a good man. I will ask him to lend us his cook. Old Dale is a noble Christian. He will definitely be willing to serve as a pastor for us temporarily."
Leon nodded and said with a hint of boasting:
"Then call their team back for lunch. I brought a lot of fresh ingredients and my personal chef. I have to say that Old John's cooking skills are really great. I really like the barbecue he makes."
Upon hearing this, Kevera glared at him again and said with a slightly sour tone:
"That senior chef was given to you by me. If it weren't for your face and your tongue, I would have kept him and used him myself."
"I'm glad to be invited to your camp."
Leon noticed that along the way they saw slogans or billboards saying that there was a shelter at the terminal that could accommodate survivors.
Leon didn't care. He put his hand on the red-haired girl's tight and slender waist and gently groped it, saying:
Kevila was not so easy to fool. She didn't care about Peggy's presence at all and said directly:
"This lecherous bastard, you just want to tie me up here so that I won't disturb you from continuing to cheat, right?"
The area is very large, with many warehouse-like buildings. I don't know what's inside them. There are cargo containers scattered everywhere, but overall it's pretty good.
He gently slapped Kevlar's hips beside him and asked:
Leon was very thick-skinned, smiled shamelessly, and said:
Seeing that everything had been explained almost completely, Leon stood up and shook hands with Gray. He extended an invitation to them to visit the prison base in the near future or take a bus to the Umbrella Corporation base in Georgia to take a look.
"But we won't help anyone for free. Even if they are friends, they need to pay a price if they want our help."
As long as we can prove the authenticity of this matter to them, we can basically deal with most of them.
"Even if we can't be one of us, we won't be enemies."
"However, in about three days, I will leave this base and go to our company's base. Before that, I will take those who are willing to join our company with me."
"snort!"
Facing the foreign survivors, they didn't even have weapons in their hands, which was simply too naive.
They still need some time to digest this important information.
His tall and handsome appearance attracted the attention of Gray and others as soon as he appeared. They all guessed that the man in front of them with excellent temperament and burly figure was the leader of the opposite side.
"Mr. Gray, and everyone here, I really hope that you can join the big family of Umbrella Corporation. Doing so will not only ensure the safety of yourself and your family, but also contribute to the revival of mankind. This is a rare opportunity for you."
Judy held Glenn's arms in her arms, leaned on his shoulders, and said with longing in her voice:
"It would be nice if we could invite this chef when we get married. Unfortunately, there is no official pastor in the base right now. Otherwise, we would be able to hold a grand wedding like in the past."
"You haven't convinced my father yet, and my brothers, they may not agree to let me marry you."
"But we never force anyone, and you have plenty of time to think about it."
Until the end of lunch and the start of the journey to the terminal, the members of Glenn's team were still reminiscing and discussing the delicious food they had enjoyed at noon.
"Obtaining this batch of preservatives should help us store food better."
"Since we have come to our camp, why don't you all go inside and take a rest? We just happened to have some coffee and fruit that we have collected, so you can chat together."
Thinking of this as a warning, after getting off the bus, out of courtesy as a guest, Leon did not lead his men directly into the camp at the terminal.
But now was not the time to talk about these things. After following Gray into a restaurant-like place, he arranged for everyone to sit down, and someone brought hot coffee and fruit. They could finally talk about some things formally.
After the apocalypse began, it became really difficult for them to enjoy such fresh and delicious food.
"What are Glenn and his team doing now?"
"However, this is not an urgent task. If you need them, you can call them back immediately."
"And you've experienced that, haven't you?"
Glenn also thought of his deceased parents, a trace of sadness flashed in his eyes, and he said firmly:
"Certainly possible."
He gave his subordinates a look, signaling everyone to prepare to leave.
"That's it, Mr. Gray, it's time for us to leave."
"I'll say it one last time. My invitation is still valid. I hope you can inform all members of the camp about this and not hinder their choice."
