The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 119 Planning Thanksgiving

Another two months have passed in the blink of an eye, and the time has come to the golden autumn and October, and the harvest season has arrived.

But for Lyon, this period is not only a bumper harvest of crops, but also a bumper harvest of various materials.

As the four troops under his command continued to clean all human settlements throughout Georgia, the materials that could still be used were collected by the accompanying logistics troops and continuously transported to the Fort Benning Army Base.

Almost all the transportation teams within the company have begun working at full capacity. On the main lines of interstate highways, vehicles are coming and going, and most of them belong to the fleet of the umbrella company.

However, as more and more materials accumulated, Leon soon fell into a kind of happy trouble.

Four fleets of hundreds of people were constantly transporting supplies, making the entire Fort Benning base warehouse full. Even though Lyon had built five new super-large warehouses a month ago, it still could not satisfy the needs of thousands of people every day. The inflow of tens of thousands of tons of materials.

Among these supplies, most food and luxury snacks only have a shelf life of one to two years.

It is about to expire, even if it is put in the warehouse, it is a waste and meaningless.

Leon struggled in his mind for a while, but in the end he didn't want to waste these hard-won resources and decided to use them.

Speaking of which, it has been sixteen months since the disaster broke out. Although the employees of the Umbrella Company occasionally have minor conflicts, they are still unusually united on the whole, and there is no such thing as the bullshit in the past news reports. trouble.

However, this may also be because the number of people in the company is not too large at present, with less than 4000 people. Although there are conflicts between various small groups, they will not cause conflicts to the point of breaking out.

Moreover, within the company, Lyon has always adopted an attitude of treating everyone equally. Promotion in terms of position and salary also relies on the ability and contribution of each individual. Everyone can be promoted based on ability. The more you work, the more you will get, and the system is clear. , there is very little internal corruption and fraud, and so far there has been no scandal caused by institutional problems.

However, in any case, the staff in the company are indeed working very hard. For more than a year, they have been either digging holes or moving things. Most of the time, they have to be the hardest construction workers. They are exposed to wind and sun, and basically... Not many holidays.

On the contrary, although the combatants of the Security Department have been engaged in the most dangerous life-and-death battles with zombies and predators, the time spent in real battles is always relatively short. In addition to daily training, they basically still Have some time to relax and unwind.

Thinking of this, Leon calculated in his mind that in exactly 20 days, November 11st would be the time for Harvest Thanksgiving, a very famous traditional festival in Europe and the United States.

He could just take advantage of this opportunity to hold a large-scale three-day harvest festival celebration to consume the food and luxury goods that were about to expire.

It is not only to reward these good people who are still trying to survive in the apocalypse, but also to show the strength of the umbrella company to the survivors and give everyone a sense of belonging and confidence.

Whatever he wanted to do, he held a small meeting with the managers within the organization that night. Although no one knew why the big boss suddenly wanted to hold a harvest season celebration.

However, considering the mountains of food and supplies that were about to expire, as well as the impact and confidence brought by a huge celebration after the doomsday disaster, they all agreed with Leon's point of view and began to make plans, arrange various activities, and Work corresponding to the celebration.

On the next day, the news that Lyon wanted to hold a harvest celebration was notified to the prison stronghold and the Oak Village stronghold. At the same time, it also began to spread quietly among the company's internal employees and surrounding survivors.

After noticing these trends, Lyon was happy that things were developing like this. There was no harm in the news spreading.

Although a large part of the more than 1000 free survivors in Troy Town were recruited by them, not all of them were willing to join an organization and be restrained.

Until now, they have been wandering among various towns and villages, relying on various means such as collecting supplies and picking fruits, hunting, and fishing to make a living.

If we include the lone wanderers who have gradually gathered here from surrounding areas, the number of this group of people is probably close to 800.

We can take advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate the strong strength of the umbrella company and form an absolute deterrent. Maybe we can harvest another batch of leeks from these people.

On the morning of October 10, Leon accompanied his two pregnant wives, Peggy and Amy, for a walk in the sun. They were almost five months pregnant, and their abdomens already had obvious signs of bulge.

After detailed inspections based on various instruments, Lyon found that their future child was very healthy and grew very well, even exceeding the standards of ordinary babies.I don’t know if it’s due to Leon’s internal cheating, but since becoming pregnant, even the two mothers, Paige and Amy, have become somewhat different from ordinary people.

Not only did our appetite increase greatly, but our strength and stamina also increased significantly. Sometimes when the three of us got excited about playing, they would often fight from late at night to early morning, lasting five or six hours, and I didn't feel too tired.

Even they themselves can clearly feel these changes. However, as the closest people in the apocalypse, after Leon gave a few vague explanations, the two considerate girls tacitly understood the matter. I hid it in my heart and didn't question it again.

When the three of them were admiring the fountains and flowers in the park, they suddenly saw a group of children walking towards them. Leon looked over carefully and realized that many of them were people he knew.

The two little niggas were led by two little niggas, one was Kenny's son Dak, and the other was Morgan's son Dwayne. These two little niggas were very lively, talking and laughing along the way, and from time to time they would turn around and perform to their friends. His own racial talent, singing and dancing rap there.

Behind them were also a group of men and women in their 10s, including Rick's son Carl, Carol's daughter Sophia, Professor Amlyn's children, the brave and cute little Clementine, and A dozen children, old and young, followed the group.

Leon's observation skills are very keen. In addition, behind these children, he saw a pair of somewhat unexpected people following them from a distance.

It turned out to be Lao Li, who had become a teacher in the history department, and Carol, the god of war whom he had not seen for a long time.

The two middle-aged men and women followed the children far away, their bodies were very close, talking and laughing, and seemed to be chatting very speculatively.

Seemingly seeing Leon's slightly surprised expression, Amy also looked up, guessed what was going on, and explained to him with a coquettish smile.

Because they all came from the same camp, and Carol was a single mother, Amy paid more attention to her.

It turns out that since moving to the Fort Benning base and the education system was established, Carol gave up her original logistics job, passed the teacher qualification examination, joined the base school, and became a professional teaching assistant in the lower grade classes.

Her duty is to manage the children's daily life and prevent them from doing dangerous things. It is the kind of job that has long working hours but is relatively tedious.

But Carol has always been very diligent in her work and has been praised by many people.

Having said this, Amy whispered to Leon:

"I heard from little Clementine that Lao Li seems to be in a relationship with Carol, and they seem to be getting married soon."

Hearing Carol's news, Leon was really touched. In just over a year, the fate of the characters in the plot seemed to have been changed by him, and everyone embarked on a different path. trajectory, and it seems to be a happier trajectory.

After thinking for a while, he turned to Peggy and said a few words, and then Peggy brought little Clementine among the children to Leon's side with her slightly bulging belly.

Although little Clementine has become like little Amy's goddaughter, she will accompany Leon and others for dinner from time to time.

But the girl still had some instinctive fear of Leon. Although she didn't know what Uncle Custer wanted to do with him, she hid behind Sister Amy for the first time and looked at her with eyes like a little rabbit. Leon, waiting for his speech.

Amy and Paige were both a little surprised by this scene. Although they couldn't figure out why Clementine was afraid of Leon, they looked at the man with strange expressions, and they were also curious about him. The reason why Clementine is needed.

Leon ignored the curious looks of the little wives, cleared his throat, reached out and put his palm on the little girl's head, rubbed it, and said:
"Little Clementine, my uncle needs your help with something now. It can also be regarded as a gift for you."

"This matter is very important to uncle, can you help me?"

After hearing this, little Clementine looked up at Amy, thought for a few seconds, and said:
"Okay, Uncle Custer, I'll help you."
