The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 199 The Collapse of the Federation
Nuclear bombs are one of mankind's most powerful weapons, and their power is not limited to the destruction and death they bring in the few minutes they explode.

What is even more frightening is the damage caused to the environment by its powerful explosion, as well as the impact of the nuclear radiation, radioactive dust and various extreme weather and weather produced after the explosion on the surrounding living conditions.

In the month and a half after the nuclear explosion of the Corpse Whisperer Empire, the People's Federation's army began a large-scale extermination of mutated zombies in the radiation zone. The explosion caused by four nuclear warheads almost wiped out the members of the Corpse Whisperer Empire and the super-large zombies they had gathered. Nearly [-]% of the group was wiped out.

Even so, the number of remaining mutant zombies is almost over 50, and most of them are special mutant zombies that have been mutated, which are far more difficult to deal with than ordinary zombies.

Fortunately, after the base of the Corpse Whisperer Empire was blown up, almost all the surviving members of the Ten Whisperers were frightened out of their wits, and no longer had the courage to fight against the People's Alliance army as before.

Their communication and command system was completely destroyed with the destruction of the secret research institute. After losing unified command, although the corpse whisperers could continue to control the zombies, they all turned into a ball of scattered sand.

In the face of the People's League troops with strict discipline and various advanced weapons, they fell into an absolute disadvantage and were defeated at an extremely fast speed. There were even cases of surrendering and escaping.

As time went by, the turmoil in the Federation gradually worsened and was almost completely intensified because of Lyon's secret support.

Although high-level citizens hold power, their number is too small, even less than one-twentieth of the total number, and there is no overwhelming combat advantage. The only thing that can allow them to oppress a large number of lower-level people is other than them. In addition to the remaining authority and prestige from the past, it is because they still control the federal army.

But unlike the sturdy and powerful People's Alliance Army, the federal areas are relatively close to the radiation zone, although their land and environment have become unsuitable for growing food due to the pollution and damage of nuclear radiation.

But it was also a blessing in disguise. The huge noise of the nuclear explosion war caused most of the zombies around the radiation area to be attracted deep into the radiation area.

Although there are still some weird mutant monsters left in the periphery, it has become much peaceful compared to before.

It is precisely because of the lack of combat training that the individual combat effectiveness of the federal soldiers can be said to be far inferior to that of the soldiers of the People's Federation.

Coupled with the differences in equipment, numbers, and command between the two sides, if the two sides were hostile forces and Lyon wanted to occupy the Federation, they would not be able to survive the offensive of the People's Alliance for more than a month.

But in today's world, population is a very important and precious resource, and if you use force to conquer the Federation, you will have to use all the remaining people as prisoners.

Otherwise, you can't imagine that after you kill someone else's father, son or husband and destroy their family, they can still work loyally for you and be loyal to you, your enemy.

In the office, Leon looked through the federal intelligence compiled by Avril. In order to annex the federal population and resources, in just two months, he had imported nearly 300 spies and intelligence personnel into the federation, hollowing out the intelligence department. Family wealth, and there is an armed force of close to 500 people near the Federation, disguised as the Salvation Army, ready to fight at any time.

Just waiting for the Federation to collapse, you can pounce on its corpse and bite off a piece of fat.

When Leon was thinking about these questions, Avril walked in again, with a strange expression on her face and brought good news.

"Boss, our people have found a key figure in the Federation who can be won over, but you need to decide how to operate."

"Oh, who is that?"

After listening to this, Leon was a little interested and a little excited. Avril and the people in the Intelligence Division have done a very good job in the past two months. Under their guidance and support, the top federal officials and the people at the bottom have even begun to have frequent small-scale exchanges of fire, and vicious incidents have occurred. Conflicted.

Hatred continues to accumulate, and it will become more difficult to erase the pain.

And a person who can make Avril so cautious must have a good status in the Federation.

The little secretary handed a document to Li Ang and explained:
"This person is none other than the current militia captain of the Federation, Mercer."

"Our people discovered that the militia captain always secretly released water when performing the tasks of female governor Pamela, and even took the initiative to help those at the bottom to reduce their casualties."

"According to the intelligence observed by the spies we arranged around Mercer, this militia captain has always been more inclined to the people at the bottom and resents the oppression of the top."

Having said this, Avril smiled and said:
"Boss, Mercer controls a large part of the Federation's soldiers. If he can be persuaded to betray, he will definitely be able to put pressure directly on the top of the Federation and make them take irrational actions."

Leon patiently listened to Avril's story, carefully read all the information about Mercer provided by the spies, and nodded slightly.

Although the Federation does not have a formal military department like the People's Alliance Military Department, it organizes them into a militia patrol like a militia, with a militia captain and several deputy captains. The appointment power of the army and Control remains in the hands of the female governor.

But as the highest officer in the army, Mercer is still quite prestigious among the federal soldiers. If he is willing, he will definitely be able to counter the prestige of the female governor Pamela to a certain extent.

However, according to the data, this Moser probably only dislikes the practices and methods of the high-level federation in his heart. If only this dislike is used to push him to rebel directly to the bottom and give up his rights and life, it is obviously not right. It must be successful.

It is necessary to add fire between Mercer and the top leaders of the federation, a fire that is enough to stir up conflicts and even hatred between the two parties, in order to promote their confrontation, so that the civil strife within the federation can truly expand to everyone.

Thinking of this, Leon suddenly remembered something in the information about Mercer, turned to Avril and asked:

"Have you ever observed Sebastian, the son of female governor Pamela?"

The little secretary was slightly stunned when she heard this, then flipped through her notebook, looked at the information on it, then tore it off and handed it to Leon, saying:
"Yes, boss."

"But according to the intelligence collected by our spies, this Sebastian has no real power in the entire federation. He is just an ordinary rich second generation."

"His mother Pamela protected him very well. She not only placed some guards around him, but also did not allow him to go anywhere where there was danger."

Having said this, Avril thought for a while and continued: "However, there is news that this Sebastian is not a good person. He still maintains the habits of the second-generation officials in the past era. Not only is he very luxurious and wasteful, but also He also likes to use his privileges to bully the lower class civilians, as if he wants to treat himself as a master."

Leon nodded as he listened, then showed a smile as if he had discovered prey, and said:
"Avril, there is one more thing you have overlooked."

"This Sebastian is not only the only child of female governor Pamela, but also the person responsible for protecting his safety in the federation is Mercer."

He raised his head slightly, looked into Avril's clear and charming sky-blue eyes, and said:

"Guess what will happen if the female governor Pamela finds out that her only son was killed by the lower class people of the Federation under the protection of Mercer, and the murderer cannot be caught?"

After listening to Avril, she tilted her head and thought for a few seconds, her clear eyes lit up, and she said to Leon with some admiration:
"Boss, your method is great. It kills three birds with one stone."

"After Sebastian's death, no matter how Mercer explains it, Pamela will definitely hold a grudge against Mercer and may even hold him accountable for his dereliction of duty."

"Furthermore, in the past, Pamela always wanted to mediate the conflicts between the high-level people of the Federation and the people at the bottom, but if her sons died at the hands of the people at the bottom, the two classes of the Federation would definitely become more antagonistic, maybe soon. A large-scale civil war will break out."

Leon nodded lightly and said:
"Execute this plan first and see the effect."

"Remember to arrange for our best spies to do it. It doesn't matter if you kill a few more people if necessary, but you must not be caught by people from the federal official organization."

As he spoke, he thought for a moment and added:

"By the way, although we want chaos within the federation, of course you must send people to protect the real experts and professors, and prevent these high-end talents from being damaged in such meaningless fights."

"In an emergency, I allow you to kidnap them directly without causing any casualties."

Avril nodded sensibly. After following Leon for so many years, she knew very well how much her boss valued those high-end talents.

And to put it bluntly, at least half of the credit for the People's Federation organization to be as strong as it is now belongs to the scientific researchers and scholars in the base. Only science and technology can help humans survive this monster rampage. In the doomsday world, the only way to become stronger again.

Lyon's trick was very effective. The female governor Pamela was even crazier than he imagined. After Sebastian's death, the female governor actually directly arrested the militia captain Mercer, and also pushed the parliamentary court to directly sentence Mercer. Death penalty, obviously, this woman loves her children very much.

After Sebastian's death, the attitude of the federal high-level officials towards the people at the bottom has indeed become more high-pressure and tough. The conflicts between the two sides have become increasingly escalated due to repeated conflicts, and there is no longer any tendency to ease.

When Leon received the news of Mercer's death sentence, he certainly would not let Pamela get her wish. After the death sentence she pushed for was made public, the spies of the People's League directly guided the people at the bottom, launched an armed prison robbery, and killed the prison. The warden and his guards rescued Mercer and other prisoners who were imprisoned inside.

The former militia captain Mercer was forced to join the lower class people, and even secretly promoted the election, pushing Mercer to the official stage as the leader of the resistance, and started a battle with the federal high-level officials.

Another month has passed, and survival in Doomsday has been difficult. As the conflicts between the top management of the Federation and the people at the bottom have escalated, they have been on strike for nearly three months.

The rich and powerful federal leaders can say that they, as rulers, have no worries about food and clothing, but the common people who are engaged in cheap manual labor are in dire straits.

The high-level gentlemen who have become hostile will not be kind enough to share their food with the poor like them. Some stupid high-level officials even go so far as to hoard food even more, trying to use hunger and poverty to force the people to surrender to them. .

Such behavior has led to higher and higher food prices on the market, increasing food shortages, and civilians even dying of starvation and illness. This has also forced some civilians who were originally neutral to join in in order to survive. joined the ranks of resistance.

Without the management of the patrol, these people who died of illness and starvation transformed into corpses, causing greater chaos, and more bloody conflicts continued to occur.

In the end, all the conflicts and struggles broke out on an ordinary afternoon.

Inspired by the spies of the People's League, with the external Salvation Army forces selflessly providing equipment, the vast majority of the people at the bottom, and the federal soldiers who gave up resistance under Mercer's call, these people united together , together they overthrew the rule of the top federation, and under the control of a certain black hand hidden in the darkness, killed the key figures who had been in power in the federation in the past, including the female governor Pamela.

Completed once, a grassroots revolution in the context of doomsday.

And those spies who contributed money and effort, made plans, and acted as vanguards in the revolution, because of their abilities and authority, became the backbone of these people and became the controllers of power.

Of course, at this time, some smart people in the Federation also saw some clues. The whole revolution was going too smoothly. Many key places seemed to have been specially arranged and were always in the right place. Show up, the right people, the right support.

However, these smart people are very aware of current affairs and did not tell what they discovered. One reason is that there is no evidence and it is all speculation. The other reason is that it is useless to tell it. Instead, it will offend the people behind the scenes and make people control it. You will be in danger in your future life.

And with the end of this revolution, when everyone collected the remaining resources, the surviving federal people discovered a terrible fact.

That is, the federation has a large-scale food shortage, which has even reached the point of endangering the lives of many people.

During the chaos and melee within the Federation, people from no one knew which side actually burned down the warehouses where the Federation stored food, destroying the food they used to survive the winter.

It seems that winter is coming in two months. Without the food for the winter, half of the people in the Federation will probably starve to death based on the current living conditions in the wasteland.

However, this panic did not last long. Under the guidance of those in power now, intentionally or unintentionally, an option that had never been available in the past gradually appeared in people's minds.

The name of another organization is mentioned more and more.
