The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 143 Conspiracy
In October 2013, more than three months had passed since the establishment of the United Human Community.

Thirteen farms, fifty factories, four military fortresses, more than a dozen branch offices, more than 7000 employees, a gradually improving power industry system, and more than [-] soldiers.

The nascent organization already has a firm grip on Georgia territory.

However, compared to the hundreds of millions of zombies throughout America, their strength is still too weak.

This afternoon, Leon finished his official duties and was playing with his children at home.

His eldest son, Little Robb, is almost half a year old. Compared with ordinary babies, Little Robb is obviously very strong. Not only is he larger in size, but he is also extremely experienced.

At just less than half a year old, he could crawl around the living room with a pacifier in his mouth, and from time to time he would burst into innocent laughter, making the ladies who were older than him laugh.

On this rare holiday, little Clementine also invited a group of her friends to play together, including Carl.

And Leon's goddaughter, the little girl Judith, was also brought over by her brother.

This little guy is one and a half years old this year. He has big eyes, a small nose, and a chubby body. He is very cute.

Peggy was particularly fond of her and held her daughters Alice and Judith in her arms throughout the evening, as if they were holding two cute dolls and couldn't bear to let go.

Like Hathaway, the guy in Kevera is a workaholic. Even on holidays, they will not stop to rest.

On the other hand, little Amy always wanted to spend time with her children at home, but was unable to do so because of her busy work schedule. For this reason, she even proposed to Leon to exchange jobs with Avril Lavigne.

Kitty seems to trust Avril Lavigne, a rich girl, but Leon is worried about handing over the core management position of the Minister of Internal Affairs to Avril Lavigne, who is full of ambitions.

You must know that power corrodes people's hearts the most. No one can refuse the temptation of power. In this case, only the close lover who sleeps with him can be reluctantly trusted.

During holidays, Leon also likes to be with pure and cute babies. When he is with the babies, even his mental fatigue will be quickly eliminated.

However, such a harmonious and warm scene did not last long, and his good mood was interrupted by Constantine's male duck-like voice.

"Boss, something is wrong."

Although this sloppy man's voice was still as tuneless as before, Leon could hear the solemn tone in his voice.

"Boss, the Shark Gang has a new move."

Leon was shocked when he heard this, but his face remained calm. He did not disturb his family and children, but quietly returned to his study.

"If you have something to say, just say it, don't be surprised."

Constantine did not continue to play tricks now, but said seriously:
"Boss, the spy I placed in the Shark Gang worked hard to get the information back."

He was silent for a few seconds.

"The force behind supporting the Shark Gang should be the Freemasons."

"The goal of their operation this time is to eliminate us, the People's League."

Leon was not too surprised when he heard the news, because since the last poison gas incident, he had been thinking about when he would face this mysterious organization again.

In the final analysis, the only force that can be called an enemy in the Awami League currently is the Freemasonry.

Although it is not very clear why the Freemasons must deal with them, but in the face of enemies, these two words have never been avoided in Leon's dictionary.

After all, even if you escape, the enemy will not let you go.

His tone remained unchanged, showing little emotion in front of Constantine.

"What's going on? Tell me all the information you know."

Constantine pondered for a few seconds and then replied:
"Sorry, boss, I don't know much."

"The spy in the Shark Gang is dead. She was a good person. She volunteered to sacrifice herself and infiltrated into the Shark Gang."

"We got in touch through a special code."

"Before she died, she told me three words in total: Freemasonry, body modification and zombie swarms."

"Although I don't understand the specific meaning of these three words, as a member of the People's Federation."

"I just feel like I have to tell you about anything that might threaten our organization."

Leon nodded.

"Well, you did well, Constantine."

As a person who advocates caution, Lyon believes that Constantine's approach is undoubtedly correct.

He first praised this subordinate who was indeed very capable, and then continued to issue orders:
"Send someone as soon as possible to confirm the specific information inside the Shark Gang, and at the same time, be prepared to be attacked by them at any time, and try to transfer all members who are not good at fighting to the headquarters base."

"After a week, regardless of whether this Shark Gang has colluded with the Freemasons or not, I will send troops to eliminate this cancer."

Seeing that the boss of the organization still trusted him so much, Constantine secretly breathed a sigh of relief and immediately said:
"Don't worry, boss, I will handle this matter carefully and I will definitely give you news within three days."

Putting down the phone, Leon fell into deep thought.

Freemasonry, body modification, zombie swarms.

He already had a rough guess about these three words. The first word must refer to the new boss of the Shark Gang, the person who suddenly appeared and replaced the original boss of the Shark Gang.

As for the second word, human body modification, it is not difficult to guess. Since the Freemasons replaced the boss of the Shark Gang, why did they wait for half a year and not launch an attack?

Reminiscent of the members of the Shark Gang who left their warships and hid in the center of Miami, and the special equipment they transported, there is a high probability that the members of the Shark Gang have secretly undergone body transformation in Miami.

The Freemasonry has many talented researchers and the origin of this zombie virus, the mysterious life form meteorite from the sky, no one can tell what kind of monster they will create.

As for the last word, zombie swarm, Leon can only guess that the Freemasons must have mastered some technology that can use the zombie swarm to attack the enemy.

Maybe, it won't be long before he will have to face an unimaginable number of mutated zombies again.

That night, Lyon guessed many ways for the opponent to attack the People's Alliance, and based on his own imagination, he came up with various ways to deal with it.

The next day, he told General William, the top commander of the military, his thoughts.

The two discussed the new combat strategy for a whole morning, and the entire military immediately began to operate in an orderly and high-speed manner.

At the same time, this news was also passed on to the Frank military fortress in Florida, ordering the Captain Iron Wolf to be vigilant and ready to go to war at any time.

In the afternoon, he went to Dr. Melfa's research center again, and got some new information and research and development products from Hathaway and Dr. Melfa.

More than a month has passed. Murphy and the members of the expedition team who escorted him have adapted to life in the People's Federation and joined various positions in the People's Federation.

Lyon also kept his previous promise and allowed Murphy, a guy born as a commoner, to live a life comparable to that of a rich man after the end of the world.

Of course, this is not free. In addition to cooperating with the research of doctors and professors, we also have to fight to protect the People's Federation when necessary.

However, as a unique and special sample, Leon was reluctant to take risks with him unless it was absolutely necessary.

"This special infected body is so interesting. The zombie virus in his body is different from the one currently circulating outside. The current zombie virus should be a weakened version of the virus in his body."

When it came to Murphy, Dr. Melpha seemed very excited. If Leon hadn't banned it, the poor guy might have been dissected by Dr. Mefala.

This female Ph.D., who takes academic research very seriously, handed a report to Leon and said:
"To be honest, I am looking forward to that special meteorite that breaks into the earth from outer space more and more now."

"It would be great if I could get it and let me study it."

"Through the changes in this special sample of Murphy, I also noticed the possibility of human beings becoming immortal creatures."

Leon frowned, reached out to take the report from Dr. Melfa's hand, and read it carefully.

The data in the report was very professional. As a doctor, although Leon didn't particularly understand it, he could basically understand it.

Murphy's current physical functions are almost the same as those of ordinary humans, but he is already in the process of gradual mutation.

According to Dr. Mephala's speculation, his metabolism will become slower and slower as the degree of mutation deepens. The muscles, skin and internal organs in the body will undergo special changes and become able to absorb various energies in the air. and radiation to maintain the normal operation of various functions in the body.

That is to say, after Murphy completes all the transformations, he basically does not need to consume energy through eating. According to his metabolic rate, his lifespan will increase by ten times or even dozens of times.

Just these two points are enough to make countless human beings ecstatic and abandon everything to pursue it.

Dr. Mephala saw that Leon didn't seem too surprised by the report. Although she was a little curious, she continued to explain:
"In addition to these changes in body functions, there is another more magical thing about this special infected person."

Leon finished reading the report expressionlessly, placed it on the table, and listened to the doctor's explanation attentively.

"The virus in the special infected body can not only have a suppressive effect on existing zombie viruses, but can also suppress the nervous system in ordinary people."

Leon probably guessed what Dr. Mephala meant, but still asked:
"Doctor, what will be the specific performance?"

Dr. Mephala frowned and said:
"The specific effect is still not sure yet, after all, he has not completed all the mutations."

"However, I guess it is likely to be something like the ability to forcibly deprive the body of control."

Having said this, the female doctor said to Leon with a serious expression:

"Leon, I have no objection to you using Murphy to help the People's League develop and grow."

"But I hope you can understand the destructive power of this special infection."

"He is a double-edged sword. If you cannot fully control him, it is very likely to cause harm to the People's League."

Leon nodded silently and chatted with Dr. Mephala about the virus serum. The female doctor said helplessly that the current research on the lost virus has reached a bottleneck. Maybe by studying the enhanced zombie virus in the body, unexpected things will happen. The harvest is uncertain.

After leaving Dr. Mephala's research laboratory, Leon found his wife Hathaway's research laboratory.

During this period of time, the little wife's efforts were not in vain. The special mutated zombies that Constantine transported from Florida have been thoroughly studied by Hathaway. Not only that, she also based on the explosive zombies and the kind that can control ordinary zombies. Based on the characteristics of special zombies, a very useful special prop has been developed.

Hathaway calls it bait bile, a viscous bodily fluid that is highly volatile and comes in glass bottles.

According to my little wife, this bile can completely volatilize within half a minute at room temperature, and the smell it emits can crazily stimulate the brain tissue of zombies, and within 10 minutes it will attract zombies within a range of hundreds of meters. Disturbance from all other senses is ignored.

Hathaway also sees the value of this special prop, but due to the shortage of special materials, the current production of this bait bile is quite rare, with less than twenty pieces.

If you want to produce more, you must capture more special zombies named lord zombies by Hathaway.

Holding the bait bile, Leon found that it was very effective in exploring dangerous environments, and in some cases could even reverse the situation of the battle.

Considering that the Shark Gang might use zombie groups to attack Renlian in the future, Leon immediately ordered Frank to bring back at least three lord-type zombies within three days.

…………

Miami, Sackham Tower.

Lawrence was sitting in a control room filled with computer screens, using the Masonic military satellites to watch the military movements of the United Human Community.

But soon, a middle-aged bald man with a very ordinary appearance who was forgettable at first sight came over and said:

"Director Lawrence, I received a message from the internal agent."

"After we removed the SUPP's internal agents, they immediately started war preparations."

"The four military fortresses outside Georgia have all had some of their soldiers removed."

"General William, who is affiliated with the People's Alliance Military Department, is commanding the new troops and conducting final military exercises."

"According to estimates, the number of soldiers we need to face this time is probably more than 1000 or [-]."

Lawrence nodded calmly. Although His Highness Shenzi said that he would complete the revenge on the People's Federation by himself, as a loyal subordinate who has followed His Highness Shenzi for more than 20 years, His Gentle Highness did not really abandon him.

Not only did he give him the remaining spy networks in Florida and Georgia for use, but he also provided him with quite generous resources through other forces.He has been quietly lurking in the harsh environment of Florida for more than half a year. He has accumulated enough power in secret, and his long-awaited revenge is about to begin.

"Hibbert, how is our renovation plan going?"

A middle-aged man named Hibbert lowered his head. He was originally a mid-level spy in Florida. He was responsible for managing all low-level spies in the entire state of Florida, and was ordered to form a team of survivors here.

Unexpectedly, he died before the start of the mission. The team had just been formed when there were flaws in the plan for the nuclear power plant. As a result, the team he had worked so hard to form was almost completely damaged in the nuclear explosion.

Then, after a year of hard work, they finally re-emerged, infiltrated most of the Shark Gang's forces, and established a foothold in Florida. Director Lawrence was sent to take over all his forces.

What's even more outrageous is that for personal purposes, this supervisor actually used the various talents he had collected through hard work as disposable consumables.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment, but as a dead man trained by the Freemasonry for many years, Hibbert finally faithfully carried out all Lawrence's orders.

"Director Lawrence, with the exception of 120 of our own 57 agents, all of the [-] members of the Shark Gang have completed physical transformation. Their mental state is extremely high and they are waiting for your orders at any time."

Lawrence nodded, seeming to control the satellite map indifferently, and continued to watch the information he cared about.

Seeing this, Hibbert couldn't help but remind him:

"Mr. Director, please issue combat orders as soon as possible."

"This transformation is a special transformation. The life of these transformed bodies can only last about two months."

"If we don't accomplish your goals soon, these modified bodies will be wasted."

When Lawrence heard this, he glanced at Hibbert and said seriously:
"Hibbert, you don't need to care about the lives of these ants. No matter what, they will eventually be lost in time."

"And we are the ones chosen by God. We will become immortals in the future and live in the peaceful Kingdom of God forever."

…………

Two days later, the combat troops were assembled.

In addition to the [-] soldiers from Fort Frank, a total of [-] recruits were dispatched from the Renlian base, and [-] veterans were transferred from the other three forts, making a total of [-] soldiers.

The reason why so many soldiers were sent at one time was that apart from wanting to take down the Shark Gang, Leon also planned to take this opportunity to complete the cleanup of the entire Florida state.

More than a year has passed since the nuclear explosion occurred. The entire state of Florida is already filled with mutant zombies. In the past, due to lack of strength and unstable base, he has never dealt with this time bomb.

Now, the various departments of the People's Federation have stabilized and have a lot of spare military power. It is a good time to expand the territory.

Once Florida is cleaned up, the AFC will not only have access to several very good natural ports, but will also be able to develop fishing, voyages, shipping, etc., with strong capabilities.

And with Georgia as the gateway to resist all external threats, Florida will become a safe backyard.

By night, Constantine had completed his intelligence mission as scheduled.

"Boss, ahem, I've already found out the information you want."

Listening to the man's weak coughing sound, Leon did not rush to ask for information, but said politely:
"Watch your own safety, Constantine."

"Don't let me lose a capable subordinate because of this little thing."

The man chuckled slightly bitterly and said:

"Although we lost three companions in this operation, I believe that perhaps the intelligence we obtained can reduce our casualties ten times or a hundred times."

Leon's expression became serious when he heard the words, and he got up and said:
"Speak quickly, Constantine."

"We don't have much time left to waste."

Constantine coughed a few more times and then said with a slight complaint:

"The recovery potion tastes terrible, like boogers, butter, and chocolate boiled together. You will never imagine how I forced him into it."

"Shut up and get down to business." Leon growled.

"Yesterday, several of my companions and I mingled among the zombies and were taken into the underground research institute as materials."

"As a result, we found that most members of the Shark Gang are no longer in the institute."

"According to the news we overheard, they were transformed into several monsters like special mutant zombies and distributed to various places in Florida."

"The shark gang that was transformed into monsters seemed to have lost its attraction to zombies, and they were ordered to use various methods to gather all the zombie groups in the entire state of Florida."

"Use this group of nearly tens of millions of zombies to sweep across the entire human united community."

Having said this, Constantine said in a slightly expectant tone:

"Boss, are our People's Federation confident in dealing with tens of millions of corpses?"

Lyon ignored Constantine's last words and began to think about how to deal with this wave of Masonic attacks.

Just kidding, a swarm of tens of millions of zombies is terrifying just thinking about it, and they are also mutated zombies.

For an enemy of this size, even if you give him [-] troops, unless there is an impregnable fortress, and these zombies must be very hard-headed, and must fight them outside.

Otherwise, who can resist the attack of a zombie army with a command and tens of millions of levels?
Leon suddenly thought that since Constantine said that all the members of the Shark Gang had been sent out, did that mean that at this time, there were not many people defending the secret research room at the headquarters of the Shark Gang.

Regarding this idea, Constantine said with certainty:
"Impossible, boss."

"That secret laboratory is a hundred meters underground. Even if a nuclear bomb is used, it may not be able to damage the inside. As long as the people inside don't take the initiative to come out, we can't get in at all."

"The main reason why I was able to escape was because I hadn't entered their core area yet."

Leon nodded and did not delve into this issue further for the time being. According to Constantine's intelligence, the most urgent task now is to try to destroy the corpse swarm before the corpse swarm is assembled, or to find those who are trying to control the corpse swarm. A member of the Shark Gang.

On the morning of the fourth day, Lyon, the think tank, General William and others held another military meeting. After a long discussion, arrangements were finally made.

The think tanks calculated that at the rate at which the zombies were gathering, it would take at least more than a month to assemble all the zombies in the entire state of Florida and control them to travel thousands of kilometers to attack the People's Federation base in Georgia.

And for such a long time, as long as they rely on the continuous attacks of the People's Alliance air force and sufficient ammunition, they can basically eliminate the vast majority of zombies.

In this case, it is better to follow the trend and eliminate most of the zombies in Florida during this war.

On October 10, the war between the United People’s Federation and Florida zombies officially began.

The 400 soldiers completely abandoned the infantry combat mode. Veterans and recruits cooperated with each other to drive more than [-] armored units composed of tanks, armored vehicles, missile vehicles and other vehicles, and headed to the front line.

Thanks to the help of the military satellite system, in this war, the military commanders were finally able to achieve what it means to win a decisive victory thousands of miles away.

With the help of hundreds of satellite command center staff and the assistance of aerial reconnaissance forces, they marked the locations of almost all large-scale zombie groups.

The armored force composed of more than 400 vehicles was also divided into four squads by General William. Under the remote command of commanders at all levels of the staff and in conjunction with satellite maps, they began the journey of zombie annihilation.

However, a few days passed and the battle became easier than Lyon imagined.

The speed of modern vehicles far exceeds the movement speed of mutated zombies. With the help of satellite maps, the command headquarters selects those groups of zombies with a number of less than [-]. Using the speed difference between the two sides and using kite tactics, basically everything can be done To destroy the enemy without damage.

Tanks, armored vehicles, and artillery shell vehicles moved far away from the corpses, pouring out their firepower while moving backwards.

Although due to movement, terrain, and the fact that zombies can only be killed with headshots, the lethality of armored units is not as strong as imagined.

However, a zombie group of less than [-] people could not survive the fierce firepower of hundreds of armed vehicles for more than four hours.

Basically every day, excluding the time spent traveling and sleeping, these four armored forces combined would eliminate more than [-] zombies.

In order to supplement the ammunition and supplies consumed by this armored force, Lyon had to mobilize some residents and formed a truck force of [-] people to specifically provide them with supplies.

When the ground armored forces began to kill the zombies, the airborne armed forces affiliated with the People's Federation also began their combat journey.

Moreover, this process was not as complicated as Leon imagined, because not only did the zombies not have any air defense equipment to deal with the AFC aircraft, they also did not have any camouflage means to hide their traces.

Facing the aerial armed forces of the People's Federation, these zombie groups are like primitive people in ancient times, without any means of counterattack.

They are even easier to deal with than primitive people. After all, primitive people know how to avoid danger, while these stupid zombies naturally like to crowd together and act in groups.

Just like that, various types of bullets, various types of artillery shells, howitzers, incendiary bombs, thermobaric bombs, and thermite bombs.

Every day, hundreds of thousands of tons of ammunition are transported from the warehouse of the Awami League base and transported to Florida, becoming a reminder to clear out the corpses.

At the same time, in the secret research room under the Sackham Building.

Supervisors Lawrence and Hibbert fell into an eerie calm.

After a few minutes of silence, Hibbert asked expressionlessly:
"Mr. Director, do you want the plan to continue?"

"According to the current situation, even if we concentrate our efforts to destroy Iron Wolf Frank's fortress, we basically have no more power to threaten the main base of the People's Alliance."

Before the war began, although the two of them could not be said to be [-]% confident, they could at least be said to be completely sure.

After all, in the face of the zombies in the entire state, the number of tens of millions, and a new survivor organization with less than [-] people, there should be no resistance.

However, reality slapped them hard.

After all, mankind has not had a large-scale war for a long time in half a century.

Moreover, so far, there has been no case of a modern army facing an army of zombies. Even members of the Freemasons overestimated the combat capabilities of zombies and underestimated the lethality of modern weapons.

"No, we can't give up."

Lawrence stood up and touched the wounds on his body, which were scars left after body modification.

No matter how gentle and magnanimous His Highness the Son of God is, he will never get another chance.

The strength of this People's Federation is expanding so fast, and it is likely to become a stumbling block in the future that hinders the Freemason's plan.

"Even if we can't destroy the United Community of Mankind this time."

"We must also make every effort to severely damage it and weaken it."

Lawrence growled softly and said:
"You go to Cuba now, drive that warship there, and give it to General Tamashi as reward."

"Let them send troops to assist us."

"All the spoils of this war can be given to them."

"We don't want anything."

Hibbert looked up at Lawrence, lowered his head respectfully, and said:

"Okay, Mr. Supervisor."

"I will complete your mission."

After Hibbert left, Lawrence sat back in his chair and looked at the footage captured by the military satellite.

Those hideous and terrifying mutated corpses gathered together in dense groups, chasing the armored troops in the distance.

However, even a tank-type zombie with a tall stature and bulging muscles all over its body cannot withstand the fire of a heavy machine cannon. Just one salvo of heavy machine cannon can beat such a terrifying creature into a pulp.

The hunter-type zombies, whose movements were as agile as those of cheetahs, were even worse. They were too thin and small and were mixed in with the corpses. Some of them were even trampled to pulp by other zombies.

Flesh life is so fragile. Even if your body can live forever, a bullet can take away your life.

Does such immortality really count as evolution?
