The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 135 Infected Murphy

The next morning, it was another sunny day.

In the performance hall of the Kingdom of God, Ezekiel had a conversation with President Leon as he wished.

He raised his voice, as if he was a real king, with a friendly attitude, but his voice was full of majesty:

"It's a pleasure to speak with you, Your Excellency the President."

"I am King of the Kingdom of God, Ezekiel."

"Yesterday, Ms. Michonne, a soldier of your organization, helped three of our residents in crisis and saved their lives. For this, on behalf of the Kingdom of God, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude to you."

On the other end of the phone, Leon treated a real king with a gentle and polite attitude:
"You're welcome, His Majesty the King, uniting all survivors has always been the purpose of our People's League."

His tone was gentle yet firm.

"It is precisely because most people in the world are kind and noble survivors like His Majesty the King and the residents of the Kingdom of God that I have the confidence to rebuild our civilization."

After a lot of high-sounding compliments from both sides, Ezekiel, a middle-aged man who was originally just a zoo keeper, couldn't bear it at first. He and Leon chatted for seven or eight minutes, and finally couldn't help but say Out of his true purpose:

"Your Excellency, with all due respect, President, I heard that your organization is willing to form trade relations with other survivor organizations. I don't know if this is true."

Leon's voice paused for seven or eight seconds before he said slowly:
"It is true, Your Majesty, some organizations have joined my trade alliance, but not all survivor organizations are the targets of our union."

Leon coughed lightly and said solemnly:

"Only those kind and noble survivor camps are trustworthy and worthy of equal treatment by our Awami League."

Ezekiel pondered for a few seconds, heard the meaning behind Leon's words, and then said:
"Your Majesty the President, let me tell you straight. I wonder if we in the Kingdom of God have the honor to be a trading partner with your organization."

This time, Leon's voice showed no hesitation, as if he had already guessed what Ezekiel was thinking.

"Of course, haha, rather, our People's Federation welcomes the Kingdom of God to join our camp and become our partner."

His speech seemed to be pondering for a second or two.

"It just so happens that I heard Michonne say that the residents of the Kingdom of God are good at growing fruits and raising livestock. Everyone is very hardworking."

"However, our base in New Jersey has just been established and needs to build various facilities. We currently lack fresh vegetables and hard-working helpers."

"You can use these to exchange with us for the goods you need."

Ezekiel was silent for seven or eight seconds and asked in a tentative tone:

"There should be no problem on our side, Your Excellency the President, but as for the traded goods, can we choose as we please?"

Leon chuckled and said in a gentle voice:

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, we have almost all the resources in Georgia. Basically, we can provide any supplies you need."

"Besides, I probably guessed that the commodities you urgently need are weapons and ammunition."

Speaking of this, his voice had an inexplicable meaning.

"There is no problem. As long as we are still striving for the same goal, other things are just trivial matters. Don't worry about it."

Ezekiel also laughed when he heard this, relaxed and said happily:

"You are so generous, Mr. President."

"Please rest assured that in New Jersey, we in the Nation of God will be a staunch ally of the United Nations in the fight against external threats."

Lyon did not express his position on the alliance that Ezekiel climbed up along the pole, but continued:

"Your Majesty, within about a week, we will send a new group of people to the stronghold in New Jersey."

"At that time, there will be a commissioner responsible for managing the stronghold. You can discuss with him any specific products that the Kingdom of God wants to trade."

"Don't worry, as this is a transaction for the purpose of support, we will not ask for too much remuneration."

After talking about the business, the two leaders chatted about some information they had learned, and then ended the conversation.

Because of this meeting, the People's Federation base in New Jersey has reached a friendly and cooperative relationship with the Kingdom of God. With the help of these local survivors, the New Jersey base has indeed received many benefits and entered a stage of rapid development.

At the same time, in a resort near the Rocky Mountains in Virginia.

The Tyrese siblings encounter a group of strange survivors.

There are seven of them, starting from New York and escorting a special infected person to California on the Mexican border.

It is said that there is a virus research center that is still running there, and the special infected person they escorted, this man named Murphy, is very likely to be the antidote that can save all mankind.

After hearing the news, the Tyrese brothers and sisters certainly did not give up. They and the survivors at the Virginia stronghold warmly entertained the expeditionary force and secretly reported the news to the satellite command center.

Lyon was also very surprised when he got the news. He recalled the name of this expeditionary eight-man team.

National Guard captain Garnett, female team member Warren, gunner Ten Thousand, Andy, Mike, Cassandra, military doctor Doc, and the infected Murphy.

Murphy, Murphy, Murphy.

Leon read the name three times and suddenly remembered an American TV series he had seen in his previous life. It was part of the zombie drama trend that started after "The Walking Dead" was broadcast, called "Zombie Nation".

There’s not much else to say about this show. It’s just a story about a group of protagonists escorting a specially infected person across the United States to a laboratory in California, and finally discovering a larger conspiracy.

But the protagonist of that American drama is the special infected person Murphy. After being vaccinated by the researchers, this guy not only did not mutate into a zombie, nor was he immune to the virus to become a human. Instead, he became a half-human, half-corpse monster.

In the end, not only did he give birth to a daughter, he also awakened the ability to control zombies and became something like the King of Zombies.

Thinking of this, Leon felt a headache.

He always thought that the world he was in should be the world of the American TV series "The Walking Dead".

Why did the plot from "Zombie Nation" suddenly appear again?

After thinking about it, this incident made Leon very uneasy. Although he did not act according to the plot of the American TV series "The Walking Dead" at all, he did not want more weird changes to happen in this world.

So, Leon directly connected to the communication device in the helmet of the Tyrese brothers and sisters, and ordered:

"Telsey, Sasha, since this team may have a way to save the entire human race, you should hold them back for the time being."

“Invite them to relax at the resort.”

"I will rush over with others right away and handle this matter personally." After giving this order, Leon directly arranged follow-up work for Avril and Amy, and then asked Daryl to take his 100 people Union soldiers, carrying the necessary supplies, and with the assistance of air forces, headed for the resort base in Virginia.

At this time, the eight members of Murphy's expedition team were in a vacation villa, enjoying the free food provided by the Tiersi brothers and sisters, and discussing with each other about this stronghold.

Captain Garnett took a sip of expired beer and said:

"I think the people in this camp are not simple. They should not be ordinary people. What do you think? Warren."

He has a relatively calm personality. He and Warren, the female team member, have worked together for a long time and have a good understanding of each other. With just a look, Warren knows what Garnett wants to say.

Warren nodded and said supplementarily:

"Yes, I thought so too."

"Remember those zombies that followed us when we just escaped here?"

Warren glanced at the others and said:
"I took a quick look and found that there were more than 30 zombies following us."

"However, within a minute of us approaching here."

"They were eliminated by the patrol soldiers who came here."

Warren crossed his arms and said while recalling:
"Their shooting skills are very accurate, which should be the result of long-term training, especially the girl named Sasha."

"She held an assault rifle and used only one magazine and 30 rounds of bullets. She killed a dozen zombies in about ten seconds."

After Warren finished speaking, Ten Wan, who was sitting in the corner, interrupted and said:

"I've also noticed that ordinary people would be frightened when so many zombies suddenly rush towards them."

"But the girl named Sasha and the members of the patrol team are all the same. There is no change in their expressions, which shows that they have no fear of these zombies."

Captain Garnett saw that several people were just analyzing their combat effectiveness, and couldn't help but remind him:
"Their skills are very good, but haven't you noticed that the equipment of the patrolling fighters is all configured uniformly, and there is a sense of cooperation between them."

"Does this mean that they were soldiers of some army or members of some organization?"

Captain Garnett's words made the others think, but it didn't affect Murphy's eating and drinking in the slightest. All the way from New York, what happened to a group of them can be said to be very thrilling.

I ate and slept in the open along the way, and basically didn't eat anything good. What's more, it has been more than two years since the apocalypse began, and most of the packaged food has begun to deteriorate and rot, and the taste has become extremely bad.

But here, you can actually eat fresh barbecue and soft bread. For today's survivors, these very common foods in the past have now become a kind of enjoyment.

After eating another sandwich and one order of French fries, Murphy touched his stomach and saw that the team members escorting him were still discussing the situation in this stronghold.

He couldn't help complaining and said:

"These survivors are strong enough, aren't they?"

"We have been traveling for so long, crossing several states, and we can just rest here for a few days."

Doc, who serves as a military doctor and logistics manager, also nodded and said:
"Our food and ammunition are not rich enough either."

"If we can get some supplies from here before leaving, the road ahead will be smoother."

Another male team member, Mike, raised his head and drank a bottle of expired beer in one gulp. He suddenly thought of something and said:

"By the way, Captain Garnett, since the survivors here are so strong and well equipped, why don't we invite them to go to the virus laboratory in California with us?"

"Saving human beings is not just our responsibility. This matter can only be successful if everyone works together."

Many people's eyes lit up when they heard Mike's idea, but experienced National Guard captains Garnett and Warren felt that things were not that simple.

Not to mention that there are many survivors here who need their protection. Even if these people are not dragged down, they are not necessarily willing to carry out this mission with a high probability of narrow escape for a small possibility.

While they were chatting, Tersi and Sasha also came to the villa. Both brothers and sisters were wearing T-shirts and shorts suitable for sports, with pistols and cold weapons on their belts, and walked in with smiles.

Seeing the owner of the stronghold arriving, the eight members of the expedition team and Murphy quickly stood up and sincerely expressed their gratitude to the two.

Not only are we grateful for their previous assistance, but we are also grateful for their current hospitality.

Then, the two groups sat together and started a tentative chat. As they chatted, they inevitably talked about Murphy.

Looking at Murphy, whose skin was a strange color and his chest and abdomen were covered with zombie bite marks, but he could still move freely, to be honest, Tyrese and Sasha didn't find it too strange.

After all, the brother and sister are also infected with the zombie virus, and they must inject virus inhibitors every month to suppress the activity of the virus in order to continue to survive.

And unlike Murphy, they don't have any weird changes on their bodies. The brother and sister look almost the same as ordinary people.

The two groups were chatting when suddenly, Tersi seemed to hear some order. His expression straightened, he found an opportunity, and said to Garnett and others:
"Captain Garnett, ladies and gentlemen, our leader, His Excellency President Leon, wants to meet with you after hearing about your affairs."

"He will be here in about 5 minutes. I hope you won't refuse."

Hearing Tailsi's words, the eight members of the expedition team and Murphy were suddenly shaken, and began to become alert in their hearts.

Garnett couldn't help but put his hand on the pistol at his waist, and asked Tyrese with a solemn expression:
"President Lyon?"

"Mr. Telsey, have we not heard that the president of America has been replaced?"

"I think to avoid misunderstanding, you'd better explain to us who you are."

-

On the fast-speeding Chinook armed transport plane in the sky, Leon wore a set of black guardian armor and sat opposite Daryl, and he put the black helmet on the seat next to him.

It has been nearly half a year since he went out on a mission. He always stayed at the base. As a super strong warrior, Leon was always itchy in his heart.

Many times, he wanted to put down his work and take his beautiful wives around him to travel around the world to see scenery he had never seen before.

It's a pity that as a leader, he always has endless work on his hands. The people around him who trust, admire, expect, respect, fear, or look at him with various ideas do not allow him to do it casually. of leaving.

With some excitement, Leon set his sights on Daryl opposite.

In the blink of an eye, more than two years have passed.

The man in front of him has changed from the naive-looking country boy to the brave and trustworthy commander he is now.

Although this is inseparable from his reuse and promotion, Daryl's own ability and courage are also more important.

Speaking of which, he is almost 30 years old.

Thinking of this, Leon asked in a joking tone:
"Daryl, how are you getting along with the girl I introduced to you last time?"
