Chapter 240 The Secret Corner (4)
The next day, Negan set out for Georgia.
The changes that took place in the Salvation Church were first known to the Kingdom of God community last night, and the man who returned to the community told Ezekiel everything.
The Kingdom of God community was also built on the basis of an old school before the disaster, and its area is similar to that of the Gran Town School.
In the school auditorium of the Kingdom of God community, Ezekiel sat on the throne on the stage, stroking the tiger "Shiva" that he had raised since childhood.
He already knew about the affairs of the Savior Church. This force that oppressed the community was dealt with by other forces. Logically, Ezekiel should be very happy, but at this moment, he was only worried.
Ezekiel is very worried about what the other party will do as it is a force more powerful than the Salvation Church. Although the returning "diplomat" claims to have incorporated the forces of the Salvation Church and did not carry out population genocide against the Salvation Church, the Kingdom of God may not necessarily give the same treatment as the "Savior Church".
Defenses can not do without.
Ezekiel sighed, and Shiva sensed his annoyance, and rubbed his palm affectionately with its huge tiger head to comfort him.
Ezekiel was almost certain that the information about the Kingdom of God community was most likely shared by the Salvation Church with the suddenly emerging force.
The leader of the force that can defeat the Savior Hall is definitely not an ordinary person. His means of winning people's hearts and development capabilities cannot be underestimated. The other party cannot ignore the surrounding situation and only focus on the Savior Hall that has been recruited.
Ezekiel thought about it and finally decided to take the initiative to contact the other party.
"Jerry, Jerry? Jerry! Don't sleep anymore. Go get Richard over here. I have a task for him."
Ezekiel called out to the audience a few times. His personal guard, a fat man, was dozing off.
Ezekiel was very kind to his subordinates, and he would even let his guards sleep while they were working.
Jerry was awakened by Ezekiel's voice. He looked around immediately and then quickly got into the state and carried out Ezekiel's orders.
"Yes, my king."
Jerry walked out of the school auditorium and soon brought back a face of Richard, who was the white man who faced Negan last night.
Ezekiel needs Richard to go to the Savior Church again to inquire about the information about the major forces and take the initiative to contact them.
Richard accepted the order and left the theater to prepare for work.
"Wang, will that new community have an impact on us?" Jerry looked at Richard who was leaving alone and asked Ezekiel.
"It's hard to say. I hope they are friendly. The peace we have now is hard-won..."
Ezekiel frowned, his heart filled with worry.
It's not easy to be a community leader. You have to worry about everything from top to bottom...
On the interstate highway between Washington, DC and Atlanta, Negan and Miles are driving a sedan towards Charlotte.
Behind the sedan were several cars filled with militiamen from Miles' pioneering group.
"Shit, I haven't been behind the steering wheel for a long time. This doesn't feel as comfortable as Lucille."
Miles couldn't drive for Negan, so Negan, who had been a boss for a long time, could only drive the car himself, and he would mutter a few words from time to time, complaining about his current situation.
"It's good to be alive. What you did was just a close call.
If you attack workers in Georgia, even if only one person dies, the principal will turn you all into lollipops and stick them in the wasteland."
Miles smoked a cigarette and spoke to Negan bluntly.
Negan didn't care about the tone of Miles's words. He glanced at Miles's strong and sturdy arms and immediately changed the subject: "What is a lollipop?"
Miles explained: "It means cutting off your heads and stringing them on sticks for public display."
"This is a bit barbaric..." Negan said after taking a deep breath.
"Hey, don't say that, don't say that... Principal, oh no, now I should call him chief. I heard that when the principal first established the school, he had dozens of lollipops on his back, and he led a few people to kill a gang."
Miles started talking about Zhang Qiang's past, and he also felt like talking about other topics. These were things that Moore told him about the earliest days of the establishment of Gran Town.
Seeing that Miles was interested, Negan deliberately started chatting with him. On the one hand, he needed to understand the personality of the person he would meet in the future, and on the other hand, he had to establish good relationships with these future colleagues.
The convoy heading to Charlotte soon drove onto a road full of zombies. Abraham and Sigma had also walked along this road, which was the only way to Georgia.
Negan and Miles were chatting excitedly and didn't notice at all that in the wasteland where weeds were more than a meter tall, two pairs of cold eyes were watching the convoy leave.
“They’re taking this road more and more frequently.”
The tall man and woman who had peeped at Abraham and Sigma appeared again. After the convoy left, they still walked towards the bridge hole and left along the train tracks behind the bridge hole.
Sure enough, another group of people appeared on the road that Gray ordered them to monitor. Now the two of them can be sure that this road has become a must-pass route for a group of forces.
In the Alexander community, a new wall is under construction. With the help of the search team, the community's efficiency in obtaining building materials has increased a lot.
Alan was basking in the sun in the community with bruises on her eyes. Her injuries had not yet healed, and she didn't want to take risks by going out.
Occupying Washington D.C. now seems more like a joke. She is an underage girl with only a few men under her command. How can she capture Washington D.C. which is full of mutated zombies?
Alan was in a very bad mood, and her heart was full of helplessness. The goal was far away, and the Alexandria community had suffered another misfortune. It might take a long time for her to achieve her goal.
Alan moved a chair and lay on the roof of the first floor of the house, recuperating quietly.
Another day passed.
Negan parted ways with Miles and others on the way, continued to head to Atlanta from Charlotte, and finally drove to the international airport at noon.
There were sentries standing guard at the airport entrance, and the terminal had long been blocked off and transformed into a place for soldiers to relax and have fun.
Negan parked his car obediently outside the outpost, got out of the car and obediently accepted the search by the patrol soldiers. Only after his body was searched thoroughly and his car was checked inside and out, was he allowed to speak and tell the purpose of his visit.
"I'm from Washington. I'm the new community leader of the Destiny Front. My name is Negan. The chief asked me to come here."
Negan still had his hands raised high. The soldiers stared at him closely, preventing him from making any drastic movements.
"Negan, right? The leader of the Savior?"
A sentry walked back to the post, took out a list, and found Negan's identity information.
Negan nodded in confirmation.
The sentinel confirmed the appearance of the people described on the list before letting the patrol soldier take Negan into the airport.
The vast airport is parked with fighter planes of all sizes. The large ones are naturally transport planes and gunships, while the smaller ones are F15s and Warthogs.
Negan saw the parked aircraft from a distance. A team of mechanics were performing routine maintenance on the aircraft. People were walking around everywhere on the airport, including soldiers running to maintain their physical fitness and prospective pilots taking courses.
At a glance, the number of soldiers at the airport was much greater than the population of the Salvation Temple.
Negan swallowed and thought to himself that he had made the right choice and did not continue to conflict with the Destiny camp.
Two soldiers carried Negan all the way to the command center. The officers passing by acted as if they didn't see Negan and continued walking and performing their respective duties.
Being able to enter the military stronghold, Negan became bolder. He looked around and observed the situation in the command center.
In front of the display screen cluster in the center, a young man with an oriental face and slicked-back hair was slumped in a chair, smooching a cigar.
Negan was stunned for a moment, and looked around uncertainly. Seeing that no one was as relaxed as the young man, he confirmed his identity.
The only person who dares to enjoy such privileges in the military command center is Zhang, the leader of the Tianming Front.
Negan was brought before Zhang Qiang, who turned his chair around and stopped the soldiers from saluting.
"You guys go out, I'll be in charge of this person from now on."
There were no entourage guards or bodyguards in the dark. The soldiers knew Zhang Qiang's strength and immediately turned back to their work section to continue their duty.
Zhang Qiang glanced at Negan, who was at a loss and didn't dare to look him in the eye. He looked like a child who had made a mistake.
"Okay, stop pretending. You're not such a coward."
As a loyal fan of the show, Zhang Qiang knows Negan very well. This bastard cannot be afraid of power. His current behavior is just for show.
bang...
The sound of chair wheels rolling.
Zhang Qiang pulled over a chair and asked Negan to sit down. He needed to have a good talk with Negan.
Negan sat down obediently, took the cigar handed to him by Zhang Qiang, refused Zhang Qiang's match, and lit the cut cigar with his own hands.
"I didn't expect you could build such a huge force in such a short time. It's only been over a year since the disaster? Were you in the military before?"
Negan took the initiative to start a conversation, his words were full of respect for Zhang Qiang, while at the same time he did not forget to inquire about Zhang Qiang's background.
"It's okay. The main thing is that the development direction is right and everyone recognizes me. This is how things can be accomplished."
Zhang Qiang casually skipped over this topic. He knew that most of the current achievements were achieved by the resources brought by the panel.
