rebuilding in walking dead

A few days later, after such a long negotiation, the ASWJ finally reached a deal with Federal Envoy Rogert and signed an employment agreement.

Under the escort of the soldiers, hundreds of tons of food, mainly large quantities of High Power compressed biscuits, were divided into several parts and loaded onto trains bound for Miami. Rogert and the federal soldiers also followed and embarked on the journey to Miami.

This is the result of negotiations between the two parties.

Out of sincerity for the first large-scale cooperation, Lyon decided to send troops to help the Federation deal with the pirates, while also transporting the food they purchased by sea.

And next time, if you need to transport goods by sea again, you will need to pay the corresponding remuneration.

This can be regarded as opening up a sea trade route between the Federation and the Federation. In the future, large-scale transactions between the two sides can be carried out in this safer and more convenient way.

As the second largest branch base of the Human Union, Miami City once had the largest port in the organization, with nearly a hundred ships of various sizes, mainly ordinary fishing boats, and nearly a thousand survivors working near the port.

Every day, it provides a large amount of marine food and various marine resources to the residents of the Human Union.

The role it plays is no less important than that of many farm plantations.

Although fuel oil can basically no longer be used as fuel today, the survivors, through their efforts and with a lot of manpower and resources, have found many coal-fired ships from decades ago.

"We will first invest resources to build a small power station there, and then slowly develop it into a self-sufficient mining base."

What is more important is the combat chip. If the combat chip is not installed in the brains of these biological weapons, then even as their manufacturer, Mason will not be able to control these weapons.

Seeing Dr. Mason's cooperation, Lyon was not stingy and temporarily gave him the title of research director, allowing him to work under Professor Mallock's nose for a while. After the initial manufacturing of the combat chip was completed, he would consider whether to let him return to his old job.

"Is everyone missing? How many people are there in total?"

The next day, Leon met Dr. Mason again with a happy face, and Negan, the boss of the Saviors who he had heard of for a long time but had never met.

Leon leaned over the desk, tapped it with his fingers, and expressed his guess.

"Colonel Frank's team will be able to return to base tomorrow."

"The guy next to you is Negan from the Saviors. I heard that you used to be in the same organization as him and there is still some grudge between you and him. So please come over and ask him a few questions."

After reporting the two bad news, the secretary Avril also reported the good news to President Leon.

His wife Shirley was also a little nervous. After hearing her husband's question, she followed suit and bowed her head slightly.

Avril nodded, frowning as she looked at the information she had recorded.

With the departure of special envoy Rogert, Lyon returned to his daily busy life. For a large business with tens of thousands of people, fighting was not everything in life. The eating, drinking, defecating and urinating of the residents were the main theme of his daily work.

So even if the minerals are found and mined, not only do we have to guard against attacks from monsters roaming the wild, but we also have to travel through mountains and rivers to transport those supplies. It is really difficult.

However, the current problem faced by the Human Rights Alliance is that the power system of the Human Rights Alliance base can only cover the surrounding areas of the base and it is difficult to expand further outward.

With the current industrial strength of the Human Rights Federation, although it is possible to complete the production, the required period is also calculated in years.

But ever since fuel was contaminated by a fungus several years ago, coal and wood have become the main sources of portable energy for people living off the grid.

"Based on the bloodstains on the ground and some signs of fighting, they are most likely killed."

If the difference in strength between the enemy and us is too great, the soldiers are allowed to retreat first to save their lives. After all, in the end times, population is the most precious wealth, which is what Leon has always advocated. This kind of situation of being wiped out should not happen.

After sending the old man away, with a hint of evil intent, Leon asked someone to call Negan and the Dwights over.

However, after being repaired and improved by the Scientific Research Department, it is still barely adequate as a fishing boat and transport ship.

At the beginning, coal was not a commonly used resource. Although they collected a lot of it and stored it in warehouses, they did not pay too much attention to this heavy material that was difficult to transport.

"It should be very rare for a monster to be able to wipe out all our soldiers and not let a single one escape."

Avril glanced at her boss, was silent for a few seconds, and said:

"A message has been sent from the Virginia base."

Even timber resources cannot be exploited indiscriminately as in the past if we do not want the entire territory to become a dry desert area.

Avril elegantly flipped through the notebook in her hand, read the notes she had written on it, and said:

"The think tank's suggestion is to select a mine with large reserves and easy to mine, preferably one that is close to us or connected by road with convenient transportation conditions."

"Only in this way can we provide mineral resources for our base without adding more burden to our production and protection."

And just as Dr. Mason described, if you want to equip this group of biochemical armies with all-metal external armor, you will have to consume a large amount of metal mineral resources, electric energy resources, etc., which is expensive.

Not only is it time-consuming, labor-intensive and extremely inefficient, but the location of those mineral resources is also very far away from the Human Alliance base. There is not even a large coal mine in the entire state of Georgia.

However, as the scope of nuclear radiation continued to spread, the natural environment was severely eroded, various green vegetation were dying rapidly, and land loss was serious.

"What does the think tank suggest about the coal mine?"

"Is the coal supply running out?"

"Yes, boss."

......

Sitting in the office chair, Leon looked down at the sloppy old man in front of him and found that he was very weak both mentally and physically. After entering the office, he did not raise his head, but just lowered his head, and no one knew what he was thinking.

"According to the news sent by Mr. Albert, the local person in charge, the soldiers he subsequently sent to look for the transport team only found the supplies that needed to be transported, and all the people were missing."

Leon nodded to the two of them kindly, without deliberately using his aura to oppress them.

"That team, including the carriages, transporters, and soldiers, totaled twenty-five people."

Staring at Leon's frowning brows, the secretary nodded somewhat aggrievedly, and said with a slightly complaining tone:

"Yes, boss."

Obviously, no one expected that the handsome and very young man in front of him was actually the leader of this huge force.

In fact, Dwight spotted Negan as soon as he entered the door, but now the couple have joined the Human Rights Organization and got rid of Negan's shadow. Although they still hate this man, they are not as reckless as before.

Leon coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, and at the same time fell into thought.

Leaning on the soft leather sofa, Leon drank a sip of iced cola produced by Renlian, thought for a while, and said:

"That's it. Let the engineering department write me a report on this plan and select a suitable mining site as soon as possible."

And if the current situation continues to develop, I am afraid that in a few years or decades, when the resources collected in their warehouses are used up, if they want to continue to survive, they will not be able to allow everyone to stay in one base for intensive production.

After all, if you want to maintain a combat force of more than a thousand people, you will need at least several times more civilians to be able to support them.

He turned his gaze to Dwight and his wife Shirley who were standing aside. This was the first time they met, and both of them looked at Leon with a hint of surprise.

When Leon cast his eyes on the two of them, Dwight secretly took a breath and said:

"Your Excellency, the President, may I ask what you want from us?"

However, there are still two difficulties in achieving this, namely the external armor and combat chips of these biological weapons.

Soon, following his order, an old man in tattered clothes with the Son of God tied to his body was escorted in by the soldiers. Not long after, a man with burn scars on half of his face and a pretty blonde woman were also invited in with a somewhat nervous attitude.

After taking another sip of iced cola, Leon reminded:

"In addition to coal mines, the construction of other resource bases should also be put on the agenda. Don't rush to deal with them when the time comes."

After pushing the blame onto his subordinates, Leon stretched lazily with a clear conscience and asked curiously:

"Didn't you say there was some bad news?"

However, according to Mason, they had completed the experimental version of the combat chip and installed it on the Tyrant before the nuclear war broke out. Although its functions were relatively simple, it was already an initial template.

Although it was old and dilapidated, its tonnage was not outstanding and it could not carry too much cargo and people.

For example, now, before he could focus his energy on the naval fleet that was about to set off, Miss Avril put two more difficult problems in front of him.

"At the same time, let the Human Resources Department pay attention and select some residents who are willing to work outside. Or, directly select a group of prisoners with good performance and let them be miners."

Of course, without external armor, these biological weapons can also participate in combat, but in this case, their combat effectiveness will be greatly reduced, even to less than one-tenth of the original level.

Leon nodded. As mentioned before, the Human Alliance implemented an elite soldier policy. Every soldier of the Human Alliance had undergone professional training, was well-equipped, and had combat capabilities far exceeding those of ordinary survivors.

Except for some officers who had learned relevant naval warfare knowledge in military academy, most people were novices on the ocean.

By then, they will have a large army of biochemicals that do not need food, are not afraid, and are tireless.

Without fuel, fuel generators and large-scale mining equipment cannot be used, and all mineral and metal resources must be collected by the most primitive manpower.

"The transport they sent to their base in West Virginia has disappeared."

Moreover, with the research results of Professor White, some of the fuel can be reused. Although the reserves are not large, in an emergency, they can still dispatch armed helicopters or other air units to suppress the situation.

Although it was not clear how powerful those plundering pirates were, he thought that their number should not exceed one thousand.

"Since they didn't take the supplies from the convoy, it's likely that they were attacked by monsters or mutant zombies."

Avril nodded as well, but also raised her own questions.

Avril nodded, wrote down her boss's words in her notebook, and prepared to carry out the order later.

Although he was a little annoyed, Leon knew that it was impossible to infer the truth based on these clues alone. He waved his hand at Avril and said:

"I've made note of this matter. I'll arrange for someone to investigate this matter later. You don't need to worry about it anymore."

He wanted to see what this brilliant figure in his past memory would say at this point.

Hearing this, the secretary secretly rolled her eyes. She had clearly reported the matter a month in advance, but in the end she was forced to take the blame.

Of course, Lyon still remained skeptical about Dr. Mason's empty promises, but adhering to the attitude of "it's better to believe it than not to believe it", he decided to let Professor Thomas from the Engineering Department and Professor Amlin, an expert in software engineering, be in charge of this matter.

For this mission to wipe out the plundering pirates, Lyon planned to wait for his brother-in-law Colonel Frank's soldiers to return, and then send out a thousand soldiers and various special forces to assist in the operation, and he would continue to carry out this mission.

"What's going on again?"

"I told you this news last month and reminded you once. Have you forgotten it?"

With Renlian's current strength, even if it cannot innovate in this area, it should be able to carry out mass replication based on this initial template.

The reason why so many soldiers were sent out at one time was largely because the soldiers in the military were only good at land combat and basically had no experience in sea combat.

Every day after the sun comes out, residents of Miami can see billowing black smoke coming out of the port.

The old man Mason hopes to offer the biological army in the research institute to Leon as a token of allegiance in exchange for his own status and life in the Human Union.

But Lyon felt that if after some finished products were made and tested in actual combat, it turned out that this biochemical army was really as powerful as the old man said, then it would be worth allocating industrial resources to this project.

Instead, many people must be dispersed to different resource bases, allowing them to mine resources, produce goods, and feed back to the main base.

Leon nodded. According to his understanding, this should be the case. Moreover, these mineral mining bases must be equipped with a certain number of soldiers to guard the bases and resist the monsters in the wild and even the predators who may appear at any time.

"Little Clementine contributed a lot in this battle. You should praise her."

Leon frowned and asked:

After so many years of getting along, Leon has deeply realized that his brother-in-law is indeed a talent in combat. Every time he performs a mission, he can complete the combat objectives very well, and he cherishes the lives of the soldiers very much. It can be said that he loves his soldiers like his own sons.

Even if they had so many soldiers, it would be basically impossible to discharge them all at once.

Seeing that the top leader of the Human Rights Organization was so kind and just wanted to ask questions, Dwight felt relieved and said with a slightly stiff smile:

"No problem, Mr. President. You can ask us any questions about the Salvation Army."

"We will tell you without reservation."
