The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 161 New Era

It was like throwing a match into a barrel of explosives. After the Mississippi nuclear submarine incident broke out, it not only bombed half of the world and created many ruins, but also triggered many sensitive weapons such as intercontinental missiles. The country's nuclear counterattack system.

That day was a nightmare for all survivors. The whole world fell into madness. The sky collapsed, violent storms, earthquakes and tsunamis. Countless survivors, countless zombies and monsters, together with high-rise buildings, flowers, plants and trees, all melted into the gorgeous mushroom cloud. Made into ashes.

The blue sky has become no longer clear. The sea water has been evaporated, the earth has been destroyed, and countless dark clouds composed of radiation dust are floating in the sky.

The world, which had gradually formed a new order, has entered the reshuffle stage again.

………………

Five years later, time came to the spring of March 2020.

Daryl's Farm, Awami Territory, Georgia.

Daryl, who is nearly 30 years old, is wearing a white vest, showing off his strong muscles. He is holding a shovel and doing farm work on his farm.

Beside him, a few young survivors employed by their family's farm were also working meticulously and diligently. Even though everyone was sweating profusely and their thin clothes were wet with sweat, they did not slack off in the slightest.

This is the spring plowing season. Along with the great changes in the world, nuclear radiation is ravaging the world. The terrorist fungus virus has spread to every corner of the earth, and everything in the world has been changed by it.

Although monsters in the wild have become much rarer than a few years ago, the ubiquitous radiation has made these virus-infected monsters even more bizarre and dangerous.

However, no matter what the world becomes, for ordinary survivors who are still struggling to survive, food will always be the most important necessity for survival.

They were busy until noon. With a clear horse's cry, the little beauty Beth, who had a ponytail and had become more mature and beautiful, rode a black mare to Daryl's farm.

The girl looked at the men who were still working in the fields and couldn't help but smile. She waved her hands and shouted to them:

"Daryl, lunch is here, let's all eat together."

The girl's voice was sweet with a hint of showoff.

"I've got some cold corn beer today that everyone likes, and I brought a big helping of smoked mole from the Buffalo Tavern."

"You're sure to like it."

Hearing this familiar voice, Daryl quickly raised his head and saw his beautiful fiancée, riding a black shire horse, looking at him with a smile on her face.

Even though his personality is relatively restrained, he, a tough guy, couldn't help showing a smile.

Ten years have passed since the end of the world. Both humans and monsters have divided their own areas. As long as they are not wandering around in the wild or invading each other's territory, fighting is no longer as frequent as before.

In today's world, the resources left over from peacetime have basically become waste products. The survivors can only rely on their own labor to obtain the materials for survival.

Put a large piece of smoked mole meat into your mouth. It has a slightly bitter taste and a somewhat gritty texture. Although the taste is not very good, due to the terrifying fecundity and fairly good nutrition, these Mutated mole meat has become the most common meat for ordinary survivors.

You don’t even need to prepare feed for them, they can digest any garbage very well.

After all, now, the increasingly bad environment has made delicate livestock such as chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep more difficult to raise and more precious.

With the income of ordinary survivors, it is not often possible to eat these good things.

After swallowing the mole meat in his mouth, Daryl looked at Beth with a slight smile and asked softly:
"Why do you have time to come here today? Is the school on holiday?"

Beth shook her head, with a smile on her lips, stretched out her hand to hold Daryl's hand, and said:

"There is no holiday, but the class I lead is going to the youth training camp for half a month of military training in the afternoon. These kids are clinging to me. I have to go with them tomorrow, so I can only take the time to see you today. "

A few young people nearby who were still munching on their meal saw this and made a mocking gesture to each other. They were very discerning and took their rice bowls to other places without disturbing the couple again.

Seeing that there was no one else to disturb her, Beth showed a sweet smile, sat down next to Daryl, the two of them leaned together and said softly:

"You also know that in recent years, our People's League has become more and more famous, and more and more survivors have climbed mountains and waded through rivers, overcoming countless dangers to join us."

"There are also more and more children who are not receiving education."

"His Excellency the President has always attached great importance to children's education. Our schools have expanded enrollment several times."

Daryl took a sip of the cold corn beer. The slightly spicy taste made his chest feel slightly warm.

"Isn't this great? Isn't it that the reason why our soldiers fight so desperately is so that their families and children can live a safe life?"

Beth nodded, suddenly thought of something, and said slightly excitedly:
"Daryl, do you know about the federal envoy this time?"

When Daryl heard this, he paused slightly while eating, and then asked:

"What's wrong? Did something happen to the Federation?"

The federal base is near Binghamton, New York. About two years ago, when residents of this organization organized a large number of teams to go out on expeditions due to an extreme lack of food, they first interacted with the Human League.

That was the first time they discovered a large-scale organization with more than [-] people. Fortunately, both sides were positive organizations that adhered to order and did not provoke a war because of the discovery of each other's traces. Even because of the more frequent exchanges, , and reached a mutual trade relationship.

However, unlike Georgia, where the People's Federation is located, New York State, where the Federation is located, is close to Washington and New York, two super-large cities that have been attacked by nuclear bombs.

Not only is the environment polluted, making it difficult to grow a large number of crops, it is even frequently attacked by monsters from the radiation zone.

Therefore, the living conditions of this large organization with about [-] people are far more difficult than those of the People's Federation.

We often come to the People's Alliance to seek more food through trade.

The main commodities they can trade to the Human Alliance are various technical talents and medical supplies.

After the disaster, the Federation, as the force closest to the two large cities of Washington and New York, joined their survivors, and a large part of them were elites with professional knowledge.

Although the professional skills of a large number of people can no longer play their due role in the apocalypse and can only be used as hard labor, as the People's Federation that values ​​talents the most, every talent who survives the apocalypse will be It is a precious treasure left over from the old times.

Moreover, because of the convenience of being close to the two major cities, the Federation is far superior to the People's Federation in terms of medical technology and drug production.

Beth shook her head and thought for a while, then raised her lips and said:
"I heard from my sister that they seem to be short of food again and want to send a large caravan over to conduct a larger-scale trade with us."

Daryl nodded noncommittally.Because of the forward thinking of President Lyon, the People's Federation not only organized manpower to build a large number of farms in the first year after the disaster, but even used vacuum compression technology to create a large number of compressed food before the food in the old era was completely rotten. food.

Although their population has now expanded to more than [-], the People's Federation is not short of food.

Even, in addition to supplying its own needs, part of the agricultural products produced every year will be reprocessed into cans or other easy-to-preserve foods, used as food reserves to cope with future disasters.

However, having plenty of food does not mean it is cheap. In this era when the vast majority of survivors are starving and freezing, food is as hard currency as arms and medical supplies.

"Do they have anything else that's worth our food in exchange for?"

People in the Federation are not fools. Technical talents are valued in any organization, unless they are really forced to do so and are about to be unable to survive.

Otherwise, the Federation would not be so luxurious as always exchanging scarce talents for food.

Beth looked around guiltily, then put her mouth close to Daryl's ear and whispered:
"I heard from Miss Amy that they will trade [-] civilians to us this time in exchange for [-] tons of food. In addition, they will also reach a secret agreement with the military."

At this point, Beth smiled proudly and said:
"Of course, they will definitely not say that they trade civilians to us as goods. I heard that they call this group of civilians dispatched workers."

………………

Georgia, AFC Base.

This place, originally named Fort Benning Military Base, has been transformed by the People's League for nearly nine years and is now very different from its original appearance.

Not only is it divided into industrial areas, residential areas, commercial areas, and public areas, but the original walls have also been reinforced and expanded, transforming the original military base into almost a small human town.

As more and more survivors join the People's League, job differentiation, the gap between rich and poor, and the level of status gradually become apparent.

A large organization composed of 5 people, under the control of top managers such as Lyon and a large number of scholars and technicians, gradually turned into a small society similar to semi-military management.

Leaning on his leather seat, Leon looked attentive and used his extraordinary hand speed to control the hero on the screen to kill all the enemies. In this game called Warcraft, abuse The food is so hot that it flies up.

Just as he was enjoying the fun of the game and the pleasure of killing, the door of the office was pushed open, revealing a cute little blond girl wearing a princess dress and double ponytails, with an innocent and cute smile on her face. The ground broke in.

After seeing the handsome man sitting on the leather seat, the little girl narrowed her eyes into crescent moons and showed a brighter smile. The two missing white teeth made her look smarter and cuter.

"Dad, I'm back!"

While calling daddy, the little girl rushed towards the handsome man at a speed that was difficult for ordinary children to achieve.

Leon had actually heard the little girl's movements a long time ago. When she rushed towards her, he gently grabbed the little girl with his left hand and held the little girl tightly in his arms.

"Hee hee hee!"

Being held in the man's arms, the little girl immediately laughed like a silver bell, chirping, chirping, and kissed twice on the man's slightly bearded chin.

The warm and soft touch in his arms filled Leon's heart with love. He also kissed the little girl on the forehead and asked:
"Did you have fun in Miami Beach, little Alice?"

The little girl nodded seriously, touched her lips with her finger, and said sweetly:

"The seaside is fun and warm. The big crabs are delicious, as well as lobsters and big fish."

"Dad, can we eat crabs every day from now on?"

Leon smiled and scratched the little girl's chin, and said softly:
"No, little Alice. Although big crabs are delicious, eating too much is not good for your health. Good children should eat more vegetables."

Alice held back her mouth, snorted, and said:
"Humph, I want to eat meat, not vegetables."

Leon coaxed his little daughter with a smile, and a cold-looking blonde beauty also walked in from outside the office.

She stood at the door, watching the interaction between her boss and little Alice, and couldn't help but have a warm smile on her lips.

After waiting for more than ten minutes, until little Alice was taken away by the nanny who came over, the blond beauty slowly walked to Leon, gently helped him tidy up the collar that was messed up by the child, and said:
"Boss, the federal caravan will pass through the radiation zone in Washington in three days."

"Their envoy hopes that we can send a force to escort them."

"The federation is committed to giving us more discounts on deals."

Hearing this, Leon nodded indifferently, sat down in his seat again, and said:

"Now that these workers have decided to sell them to us, they are already our property."

"I'll ask Colonel Frank to go protect them and send an elite Sting Team over."

"Hathaway and Dr. Melfa have urged me many times. They need the latest monster samples in the radiation zone."

"These disgusting things are all hiding in the radiation zone. I don't know what they have mutated into."

Avril held up her long golden hair. As an infected person of the zombie virus, five years did not leave any traces on her body. On the contrary, her physical condition was better than that of ordinary people. Since being infected with the virus, her illness has become worse. It seemed like it was far away from her body.

Sometimes she also thinks that maybe the zombie virus can really start the path of human evolution, and Renlian, which has mastered zombie technology and is constantly developing new technologies, is her strongest support for evolution.

"Boss, the basic construction of the railway between us and the Florida branch has been completed. The completion ceremony can be held at any time and normal operation can begin."

“The Think Tank would like you to choose a time to announce this good news to our residents.”

Lyon nodded. In the past five years, the People's Federation has not continued to expand its territory. Instead, it has spent most of its energy on building and consolidating the two territories of Georgia and Florida.

After all, so far, their total number has only just exceeded 5, and occupying too much land will distract their defense capabilities.

However, although there is no further expansion of the territory, due to the implementation of the stronghold network plan, in addition to the two major bases of the People's Federation, in the territory of the United States, the People's Federation also has hundreds of small strongholds outside the bases to help them This dangerous land can be monitored at any time.

With a smile on his lips, Leon continued to turn on the computer and restarted a new game.

"Then we will announce the news after the federal envoy arrives with the caravan."

"It just so happens that our allies can share this good news with us."
