The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 121 The Tragedy of Florida
After Leon brought Daryl to the office, he personally brought a cup of hot coffee to this loyal and reliable macho subordinate and asked:
"Daryl, what do you think of this group of people?"

Nugget Daryl was already the leader of a troop of several hundred people at this time. Although he was relatively taciturn, his observation and intuition in some aspects were sharper than ordinary people.

After thinking for a moment, Daryl said in a slightly hoarse voice:

"They definitely didn't come together by chance. With so many people gathered together, they may have separated themselves from some large group."

"Moreover, when we found them, we didn't find too many protective suits. It's unlikely that they walked through the entire radiation zone in Florida. It's very likely that they came by boat."

Leon leaned on the soft leather sofa, recalling the details of the refugees, nodded, and agreed with Daryl's inference.

He also hopes to reach out to a larger group through these refugees.

Although the radiation sickness in these refugees will affect their health and lifespan, in any case, these people can become a labor force, whether they are employees who actively seek refuge, or they are prisoners who passively resist and are captured. A way.

Think about it this way, out of the hundreds of prisoners captured from the Fire Dog Gang, there are now only about 100 left. If we don’t add something more, it will be difficult to handle things that require human lives to fill them. .

"Besides these, did you find anything else? Daryl."

Daryl shook his head, but made another suggestion and said:
"Boss, since we can find this group of refugees, there must be more than just a few of them in Florida."

"Maybe we can think of a way to recruit those refugees. We have good medical conditions and should be able to attract refugees who have been harmed by radiation to join us."

Leon nodded with some relief. Daryl, the crossbowman, has become a qualified right person under his own training and knows how to think about things by himself.

After that, the two chatted for a while. As the big boss, he greeted Daria and said a lot of thoughtful words. He reminded him that he was almost old and should consider starting a family. He also suggested that he could introduce a family to Daria. The good girl met Daryl and helped him get married, which was a good way to win over the strong man's loyalty.

The next day, the two went to the vacant military camp again and saw the group of refugees.

After not seeing each other for a day, the complexion of these people seemed much better, but most of them still looked so skinny.

Seeing Leon, a camp leader with strong temperament and handsome appearance, coming over, the middle-aged white man in the refugee group who had communicated with him yesterday also came over with a smile.

This man once introduced himself. His name seemed to be Constantine. He used to be a private detective and had been making a living in Miami, Florida.

Yesterday, he was half-dead and helped by several people, but today he seemed to have regained some energy.

However, this guy doesn't seem to care much about grooming. Although his eyes are brighter, his face is full of stubble and slovenly, which doesn't give a good first impression.

Constantine stretched out his hand obsequiously to shake hands with Leon, but he rejected him in disgust, but the man didn't care, and said in a slightly funny voice:

"Boss, thank you and your subordinates for saving us and providing us with food and treatment."

"But we are all refugees. We are penniless and have nothing to offer. I hope you don't mind."

The private detective's playful smile seemed to have no regard for the heavily armed elite soldiers around Lyon, but it aroused his interest.

He reached out to grab Constantine's back collar and found that the man was keen to duck away.

Seeing this, Leon immediately increased the speed of his hand. With his current reaction speed, even the world's top athletes cannot compare with him, let alone just a middle-aged man who is suffering from illness.

With a swish, Constantin was grabbed by his collar and lifted up like an eagle grabbing a chicken.

Leon lifted the middle-aged man twenty or thirty centimeters off the ground, brought their eyes to the same level, and then said expressionlessly:

"I don't need the supplies you have, I just want some information about Florida."

Leon looked up and down Constantine's body with knife-like eyes, and then said:

"You better not lie to me, otherwise, you will be thrown into the construction site and do hard labor for ten years."

Constantine seemed to feel the strong temperament of the handsome leader in front of him. He stopped struggling and grinned and said:

"Don't worry, this boss, I will definitely tell you everything, and there will be no lies." Leon asked his men to bring two chairs, carried Constantine and placed him on a chair like a toy, and sat on it himself Opposite him, a cold smile appeared and said:

"You can call me Mr. Custer."

"What I want to ask is, how is the situation over there in Florida? How did you escape from the radiation zone?"

Upon hearing this question from Leon, the middle-aged man named Constantine also suppressed the funny smile on his face and answered bitterly:

"Originally, I thought that when a virus disaster broke out, corpses rose up, and the dead were resurrected, we were already living in hell."

"But I didn't expect that the sudden nuclear explosion not only took away the lives of many survivors, but also directly released the demons in hell."

As a private detective, Constantine's eloquence was pretty good. As he told the story with a hint of sadness, Leon probably learned about the tragedy that happened in Florida.

It turns out that Florida is surrounded by sea on three sides. After the disaster broke out, although there were dangerous zombies everywhere, many survivors chose to escape directly from the sea, escaping to some large ships or some small desert islands. Started a life of survival in the wilderness.

Fortunately, there are abundant resources in the sea and there is no threat from zombies. The number of survivors in Florida is much more than imagined.

Gradually, people living on the same island formed a united organization. They usually made a living by fishing and growing vegetables, and occasionally they would form groups to search for some necessary living supplies on land.

Different groups have even gradually established some fixed contacts, forming a loose alliance, exchanging what they need and helping each other.

However, this peaceful life only lasted for about a year, and everything was broken by a sudden nuclear explosion.

The explosion at the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant not only killed a large number of zombies and survivors in the surrounding area, but also spread nuclear pollution throughout Florida, causing serious pollution to the environment of this sea area.

The seawater was polluted, and a large number of shallow-sea fish were killed. The seawater evaporated by the nuclear explosion formed a large radiation rain cloud, covering the sky, and imperceptible radiation filled many areas.

When the nuclear explosion first occurred, the heat wave it produced ignited almost all exposed combustible materials in half of the state. Many materials were either burned or contaminated by radiation. Only those who hid in underground buildings or escaped enough Only those who live far away can survive.

But as time went by, things became difficult for both those hiding underground and those escaping from the radiation range by boat.

The biggest problem they face is the lack of supplies and food. Without food and supplies, most of the survivors hiding underground will starve to death or fight and eat each other. They will hardly survive.

As for those survivors on the sea, because there was not enough fuel, the entire ship turned into a moving coffin.

And at this most difficult time, a group of terrifying killers appeared on the sea. They were all survivors who originally lived in Florida and were very familiar with the environment in this area. Because of excessive hunger and hardships in life, this group of People gave up the bottom line of being a human being, and in the name of the Shark Gang, they began to capture humans and eat their own kind.

This group of people obtained a large number of weapons from nowhere, rode fast yachts, and wandered in all coastal areas. Almost all the people they caught were used as food reserves and imprisoned in their headquarters. inside.

There is no way, because of the rampage of these shark gangs, the survivors who originally lived on the sea are forced back to the mainland.

However, after they lived on the mainland for a period of time, they discovered that the environment here was very different from before.

Not only are there more and more terrifying zombies, but there are also fewer and fewer safety supplies available.

While they must guard against the harm of radiation in the air, they must find more safe food in this dangerous environment.

Under this double pressure, many people have lost hope in life.

However, those members of the Shark Gang never thought of letting them go. This evil organization that feeds on its own species, after discovering that everyone on the sea had fled back to the mainland, actually sent troops directly into the mainland of Florida to capture them. Catch them.

Even in the end, several strongholds were established on the mainland, and they ruled that area with cruel and terrifying methods.

It's not that no one chose to resist, but the Shark Gang expanded their power very quickly. They did not know what method they used to attract a large number of survivors to join them, and they were fanatically sought after by many people who were tortured by radiation. This group of predators , Not only did the fighting become more brutal, but the number of people also increased.

Constantine and his team were also captured by this group of Shark Gang members and held in a stronghold as a food reserve.

If they hadn't taken an opportunity to help Constantine break the door lock, seize the boat and escape, they might have been eaten by the shark gang.
