The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 149 Happiness and Development
In the office, Leon frowned and looked thoughtfully at the figure of the giant pterosaur on the projection screen, flying into the sky and escaping from the ground, constantly rising and falling among the soldiers, taking those soldiers wearing standard equipment, Like ants, they were slapped to death on the ground one by one.

But the counterattack of these soldiers seemed particularly weak.

Ordinary light weapons, even sniper rifles and heavy machine guns hitting his scale-covered body can only produce a metal collision effect, and most bullets cannot even leave any traces on the monster's body.

Obviously, this giant beast not only has flexible and changeable flight capabilities, but its own defense, strength and agility have also reached very rare levels.

To deal with it cannot be accomplished by relying on human sea tactics or fragile armed helicopters.

It must be lured into an area that is not conducive to flight, its speed must be limited, and then anti-aircraft weapons such as anti-aircraft guns, anti-aircraft missiles or multifunctional anti-aircraft missile vehicles can be used to cause fatal damage to it.

However, what makes Leon curious is, what is the reason for this kind of monster that should only appear in the dinosaur era to appear in the modern era?
Was it reborn from dinosaur fossils?Leon thought for a while and shook his head again.

It shouldn't be possible. Even if a corpse is reborn, there must be a corpse. It can't just pop out of a stone.

According to Leon's poor biological knowledge, he seems to vaguely remember that modern birds, even roosters and hens, are creatures of the same family as dinosaurs, and they seem to be close relatives.

Maybe one of them has mutated and reverted to its ancestors under the influence of the zombie virus and radiation.

However, as a pragmatist, he doesn't actually care much about how this monster came into being. All he considers is whether it can bring him benefits from it.

And according to his guess, this time, a conflict occurred between a large organization called CRM Citizen Republic City and the Freemasons, most likely because of the ownership of the nuclear power plant near Chicago.

Just like the reason why the United Human Community is targeted by Freemasonry, the existence of these nuclear power plants seems to have special significance to Freemasonry.

At the same time, the existence of this giant pterosaur once again sounded the alarm for Leon.You know, in his territory Florida, there are still two nuclear power plants that have not been relieved of the crisis.

Just like opening a blind box, whether it is a nuclear explosion or a super mutant inside, once it explodes, it may cause huge harm to the forces of the People's Federation.

Therefore, the cleanup of these two nuclear power plants must be arranged as soon as possible. Maybe, they can also harvest special pets like Giant Tom that can be controlled?
As for the Freemasonry and the CRM organization, Lyon currently does not take the initiative to provoke anyone.

After waiting for the deserters from the CRM organization to be brought back and figuring out the purpose and strength of this organization, we can then consider other things.

The enemy of the enemy is not necessarily a friend. Compared with a large organization like them that can casually recruit thousands of soldiers, the current power of the People's Federation is still very weak.

When two big guys are fighting, it's better for the little boy to huddle in the corner obediently.

Their main task now is to quietly accumulate strength, develop technology, and win people's hearts.

According to the think tank's expectations, after the stronghold network plan is fully completed and all survivors in Florida are gathered, the number of people in the People's Federation will quickly exceed 2, and the number will grow rapidly at a rate of about 300 people per week.

Of course, this is the expectation before the People's Federation's territory continues to expand. If the People's Federation occupies another territory or harvests a large number of people from other channels, their population growth rate will only be faster.

While thinking about these questions, Avril, who was wearing a close-fitting suit, wrapped in black silk, and holding hot coffee, knocked on the door and walked in.

As more and more modern food spoils or rots, good things like coffee are becoming less and less available. It has gradually become a luxury product, and the price in the shops of the People's Union is getting higher and higher. Many Lower-level employees no longer have regular access to coffee, a drink that used to be so common.

"Boss, are you done?"

Avril's voice is still so pleasant, her hoarse voice is full of feminine charm, and she always feels like a kitten being tickled when she hears it.

Leon suspected that if this girl had wanted to become a singer in the past, she might have become famous in one song and gained a large number of fans.

However, as a man with many beautiful wives, he has become accustomed to this level of temptation.

"Well, that's almost it. What's your schedule next?"

With an elegant smile on her face, Avril said with a chuckle:
"Did you forget? In order to enhance the happiness of the residents, Miss Amy is planning to open three new entertainment facilities."

"We will soon have cinemas, bars and dessert shops again."

"She invites you to join her for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, just this morning."

Leon thought about it, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. Little Amy mentioned this matter after they finished exercising with him last night, but at that time he was attacked by Peggy, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. .

"Well, I see."

………………

Even before the cinema, dessert shop and bar opened, it was already surrounded by many residents of the People's Federation who were on vacation.

Everyone has an expression of anticipation and excitement on their faces. Three and a half years have passed since the end of the world. Even the lucky residents of the People's Federation are living a very difficult life compared to their past lives.

Although the People's Union is wealthy, energy has always been a very precious resource. The electricity consumption in each resident's home is limited. Most of their entertainment depends on mobile phone entertainment or some primitive sports.

To be able to re-enter the cinema to watch movies, to enter the bar, drink some wine, brag and fart, and to eat delicious and sweet desserts and ice cream are now irresistible temptations for all survivors.

A rich and colorful spiritual and material life can greatly improve their happiness, as well as their love for the People's Federation and the management.

It is out of this consideration that as the Minister of the Interior, Amy has been committed to improving the loyalty and happiness of the residents of the People's League and the cultivation of the next generation such as teenagers and children.

"Your Excellency the President, Your Excellency the Minister of the Interior, please look this way."

"That's right! That's it!"

"It's great, it's perfect. Your Excellency the President is so handsome."

Click!Click!
As the only official media outlet, female reporter Louise excitedly held her camera and kept taking photos. Behind her, her boyfriend Clark carefully carried the camera and used his strong body to protect his girlfriend from being disturbed by the crowds. .

Outside the gate of the cinema, Leon held Amy's shoulders, with a kind and charming smile on his face, and completed the ribbon-cutting ceremony with Amy.

The idol effect of handsome men and beautiful women, and the worship effect of the supreme leader kept the atmosphere around them high.

As the bright red ribbon fell to the ground, the residents of the People's League who were watching immediately cheered excitedly. They applauded enthusiastically and were sincerely happy for the development and growth of the People's League.

Of course, the reason why I am so happy is that there must be new stores opening, and this is the reason for the limited-time half-price discount.After the ribbon-cutting ceremony was completed, Leon kissed the side of little Amy's face, whispered a few sweet words, and then the two parted ways under the escort of a large number of guards.

The opening of such a new store may be a special event that enriches their entertainment and improves their lives for ordinary residents.

But for Leon and Amy, this is just a very common thing among their thousands of jobs.

During lunch time, Leon was not idle. With the new year and spring plowing around the corner, he accompanied Maggie, who was in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, and his wife, Kevela, who was in charge of public security, to have a meal together.

In addition to discussing the construction of the new farm with Maggie, there is another thing that Kewela is very concerned about, that is, in the territory of the People's Federation, more and more survivors who do not belong to the People's Federation appear.

Just as Lyon believed a long time ago, as America most advocates freedom and human rights, not everyone is willing to join an organization and be bound by the organization.

Many survivors would rather risk their lives and struggle to survive than join the Awami League and survive as a soldier, worker, or farmer.

When the People's Federation was first established, there were hundreds or even thousands of survivors living outside the People's Federation base. As all the zombies in Georgia were cleared by them, the number of these free survivors increased. .

Although these free survivors were afraid of the powerful power of the People's League and did not dare to do anything too outrageous, as the food available became less and less, some petty theft, fraud and extortion, and even more serious conflicts Incidents have become more frequent.

Therefore, Kewela believes that a system must be formulated to deal with these foreign survivors. Whether it is strong coercion or soft solicitation, when facing more and more outsiders from different organizations in the future, the People's Federation must Come up with a coping strategy.

The three of them chatted and discussed their respective work contents.

The Ministry of Agriculture is currently mainly responsible for the production of fruits, vegetables, potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn and other crops that are easy to grow.

However, because the seeds of modern agriculture are all specially processed and cannot be used twice, large-scale wheat and rice are not yet popular.

The fertilizers collected so far have a useful life of more than ten years, and the reserves are also amazing.

Until the seed problem is solved, the Ministry of Agriculture does not need to add more manpower.

The police department that Kewela is responsible for currently has only more than 200 security officers.

Although there is no problem with these manpower managing the People's Alliance base, it is impossible to dedicate some of them to manage the free survivors who do not know where they are hiding in the entire state of Georgia outside the base.

The three of them discussed for a long time, each with their own difficulties. In the end, Leon came up with a compromise.

"Since these free survivors are unwilling to join the organization, we can adopt a work-for-things method and temporarily recruit them as temporary workers, exchanging physical goods and materials for their labor."

"It is becoming more and more difficult for the outside world to obtain food. We have lowered the wages of these temporary workers to let them know the gap between themselves and the official residents of the People's Federation."

"I believe that once they get used to getting food and supplies from us and see clearly the benefits of joining the People's League, they will understand how stupid it is to be a lone ranger in the end of the world."

Leon looked at Kevira and said:
"I will set up some material exchange points on the farm and ask Amy to build several more resource collection sites in Georgia."

"You also send some security team members to manage the free survivors on the farm and make them the identity tags they need as temporary workers."

"After we bring these free survivors into the scope of management, we can also allow them to contribute to our construction work."

………………

Port of Miami, Florida.

It has been nearly three months since the last war.

The warship seized like a shark is still in the port of Miami, as a super weapon, deterring the survivors in the sea.

Constantine has restored normal operations at the Port of Miami with the assistance of the AUM.

Although it is only a small part of the functions of the huge port, it can already allow ships to operate normally.

With the joint efforts of survivors in Florida, the port has begun to have more than a dozen fishing boats and cargo ships.

They can not only provide food and enrich their lives by fishing and shrimping in the sea.

And it can already be transported and traded through cargo ships with the port of Charleston, Georgia.

The rise of sea shipping has greatly reduced transportation costs and time.

Even because of the lively environment here, those survivors who escaped from Florida and stayed on the desert island were attracted back one after another by these bustling scenes.

However, unlike the survivors in Georgia, most of the survivors living in Florida suffered from the hazards of nuclear radiation and were troubled by radiation sickness.

With the exception of a few infected like Constantine, the pain of radiation sickness made life less than pleasant for everyone.

Because of this, these suffering survivors were deeply attracted by the powerful medical conditions that the People's Federation can provide.

In order to relieve their pain, they are willing to work more and take greater risks, as well as earn more contribution points.

That night, while Lyon was enjoying the hot bed with his wife and children, Constantine in Florida brought another good news to Lyon.

"Boss, I finally found the production site of radioactive seaweed that you asked me to keep an eye on."

Upon hearing this news, Leon immediately became interested. The effect of radiated seaweed is very powerful. Whether it is brainwashing Tom the Giant or the senior spies of the Freemasons, there is no doubt about the value of this special plant.

"Oh, good job. Where did you find it?"

"I sent people to look for them before, but I didn't see them for a long time."

Constantine chuckled when he heard this, and said directly without being too pretentious:
"Boss, it's normal that you haven't found it. This kind of seaweed does not grow near the coast."

"I also learned about it from the mouth of a survivor who came back from a deserted island. These things grow in underwater caves. You must use a diving device to enter the deep sea to collect them."
