A few minutes later, the van parked next to the upscale hotel.

Mittis and Cassius followed Daryl and met Leon at a table in an outdoor cafe.

It was a very burly and handsome man, about 1 meters tall, with a perfect figure like a marble sculpture, wearing a decent gray suit, with a smile on his mouth, and on his right arm was a tall and beautiful woman with blood-red long hair A young girl exuding masculine charm.

Leon picked up a bottle of high-end red wine and gave Kevella a glass next to him. He nodded to Daryl with a gentle expression and threw a high-end cigar to the macho man.

He looked at Mitis and Cassius, pointed to the seat in front of him, and after the two former detectives sat down, he said in his low and magnetic voice:

"Two officers, welcome to Umbrella Corporation. I am Leon Custer, the manager of Umbrella Corporation."

"Can you tell me your two names?"

"Mr. Custer, my name is Cassius Baker Lodge, and the lady next to me is my colleague, Mytis Longbart."

The bald detective's voice was dry. When he heard Leon's question, he answered simply and directly:
"We were both detectives with the Atlanta Police Department."

Leon nodded gently and said with a smile:

"Actually, I saw your hiding place from outside the helicopter a few months ago. You may have heard of it."

"But I didn't think about looking for you, because at that time, you didn't have much value in my eyes."

Seeing the tense expressions on the faces of the two police officers, he continued indifferently:

"Of course, it's pretty much the same now."

"Unlike you, everyone here has been facing disasters for more than half a year. We have adapted to the rules after the end of the world and know how to survive and fight."

"And you, although you survived, have been hiding in a safe place, unable to get rid of the way of thinking in the past, abide by the rules before the end, and care about your identity before the end."

"It's hard for you to survive in this world."

Speaking of this, Leon looked at the two people's slightly blue faces, laughed once, and then said:

"Haha, I'm sorry, I was too direct."

"I don't really care, you guys come to me and want to say something, because it must be some very ridiculous ideas."

"But I can tell you what I'm thinking. Do you want to hear it?"

The bald detective Cassius was a little frustrated and didn't make a sound, while the policewoman Mitis beside him responded with a knowing smile:

"We'd love to hear your thoughts, Mr. Custer."

Leon glanced at the policewoman with admiration, and said:
"All the rules of the past have become invalid. Now the world and the entire Atlanta must act according to my rules."

"Your team currently has two paths to take."

“The first path is to join our organization, become a member of our umbrella company, and live a safe and happy life from now on.”

"The second way is, if you don't join us, please leave the city center and take only what belongs to you, because the resources there were snatched by our employees with their lives and sweat and belong only to us."

"Of course, out of a humanitarian spirit, we will not restrict or endanger your personal and property safety, nor will we provide any help."

He picked up two wine glasses from his side, poured half a glass of high-end red wine for each of Mitis and Cassius, and said with a smile:
"You two are no longer detectives, but even in today's world, people with fighting talents like you can be reused here."

"Think carefully about how to choose. Don't constrain your thoughts because of past prejudices. Everyone does not have many opportunities to choose. This choice will determine your future life."

After saying these words, Leon drank all the red wine in the glass, hugged Kevela with a lazy expression, pulled her into his arms, and whispered to her:
"Let's go take a look at Rick's baby. It's almost 8 months old and is close to delivery."

"Don't you really like that little guy Carl? He should be in the medical room too." The two handsome men and women were leaning against each other and were about to leave. Leon suddenly thought of something and turned to look at Daryl and pointed. Medis and Cassius, said:

"Captain Daryl, take them two for a walk around the base, and take them to enjoy lunch in the base together."

"Let these two guests see the real face of our base, and don't let them leave with misunderstandings."

Darryl lit the cigar for himself, took a puff happily, nodded to the boss, and responded softly.

"Leave it to me, boss."

Umbrella base medical room.

Leon met the Rick family again. In order to take care of Lori's soon-to-be-born child, Sean and Rick both applied to be transferred to the patrol team inside the base. The current task of these two senior county police officers is to take turns being responsible for shooting in the base. Training class.

Almost every combatant in the security department graduated from the shooting training class of these two people. Even in the security department full of talents, the two of them are somewhat famous.

After taking Loli's physical report form from Mrs. Moriarty, Leon looked at it for a few times and couldn't help but frown.

He avoided Loli, pulled Rick to his side, looked at Sean who was sneaking nearby, and said in a slightly heavy tone:

"Rick, Ms. Lori's physical condition is a little dangerous. Since the injury, she has been in a rather depressed mood, and her nutrition absorption is also quite poor."

"Giving a new life is a very heavy burden on the mother's body. It will cause damage to the pregnant woman's body both physically and psychologically."

He patted Rick on the shoulder and said sincerely:

"You need to give Ms. Luoli a good understanding. Her due date is coming soon. If she cannot adjust her body properly, Ms. Luoli's life may be in danger in the future."

Rick's expression was also quite heavy, his face was a little blue, and he said with a bit of pain in his voice:

"I have persuaded her many times. She is always worried that the child who is about to be born will be in danger of zombification."

"Afraid of giving birth to a monster."

"I'm afraid that future children will live in pain in this kind of world."

"She's been having nightmares about it."

Rick's voice had a hint of trembling.

"Leon, I'm scared too."

"I'm afraid of losing my wife. I love her so much. I can forgive all her mistakes. I just hope that she can stay with me and Karl safely."

Rick's voice was sincere and genuine, full of a man's attachment to his family. Leon was even a little moved when he heard it.

He thought for a while, looked at Sean who was standing not far away and seemed to be grieving, and gently comforted him:

"Maybe you can ask some old people to help you enlighten Ms. Lolly. I know an old Mr. Hershel. He is a very devout believer in God."

"And Old Dale, they are all old people with rich life experiences. They may be able to provide you young people in pain with some advice on the road of life."

"After a while, I will hold a mass and invite all devout believers to attend. In this painful world, I hope faith can save our hearts."
