rebuilding in walking dead

Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Grayney Farm



  Time flies, and it is September in a blink of an eye.

  The soldiers of the security department have cleared out all the zombies within three kilometers outside the base. This area with a total area of ​​more than 18 square kilometers is no longer dangerous.

  At the same time, the staff of the logistics department also ushered in their next task, which was to build a wall.

  Using the building materials previously obtained from the steel building materials factory, a defensive wall was built with steel bars and metal mesh as the main body and steel supports as the fulcrum. The base is within a radius of 2 kilometers and covers an area of ​​12 square kilometers, which is probably a little smaller than the famous Foxconn factory in the previous life.

  In this way, the employees in the base can also kill a large number of zombies through the metal net like the protagonists in the prison in the plot.

  But unlike prisons, the walls of Umbrella Corporation are professionally designed without taking into account the consumption of materials, and are many times stronger than theirs.

  An architecture student from the Polytechnic University assured that this wall is stronger than ordinary stone walls with concrete structures, and even a tank would find it difficult to break through the wall head-on.

  This is another large project that requires a large amount of materials and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. According to experts' assessment, with the existing labor force in the base, this project will take about two months to complete.

  Although it is troublesome, it is a job with only benefits and no harm. Once the Umbrella Corporation completely occupies this land, they will not only get a high-end hotel, three factories with different functions, a small forest, a large grassland, but also an artificial lake of thousands of square meters.

  It can be said that you have both a house and land.

  In order to ensure the safety of the logistics personnel, Lyon had to dispatch two combat teams of the security department, totaling more than 40 people, to accompany them at all times to protect their safety.

  The captains of the two teams are Daryl and Moore, who have gained Lyon's trust because of their loyalty.

  The captain of the third team is Glenn. Although this Korean guy is not very strong, his dedication and courage, as well as his kind character, have been recognized by Leon.

  The three of them have been promoted to C-level employees by Leon and are currently one of the few middle-level leaders in Umbrella Corporation. Even in the current doomsday world, they can enjoy the treatment of ordinary social elites in peacetime.

  Atlanta was still a little hot in September. Leon lay on a deck chair, enjoying Amy's massage. Since two more assistants were assigned to the young assistant, the girl was no longer as busy as before. In her spare time, she always spent more time on her boss.

  "Boss, how is my massage skill?"

  Leon hummed comfortably twice and deliberately provoked:

  "It's OK, but the force is too weak."

  Amy bit her lower lip.

  "You can't blame me, boss. I've already used my best strength. It's just that your muscles are too developed."

  Leon glanced at Amy's slender legs wrapped in black stockings and said:

  "Why don't you just come up and step on my back?"

  Amy tilted her head and did not refuse. Instead, she looked around guiltily, took off her high heels with a red face, climbed onto the deck chair, and began to massage her boss' back seriously.

  After Leon finished his lunch served by Amy, Glenn's communication request came.

  "Glenn, have you eaten?"

  "We have already eaten, Boss. The insulated self-heating box designed by the Engineering Department is really practical. We can have warm meals at any time."

  Leon exchanged a few pleasantries with Glenn, then got down to business and asked:

  "How did the mission go? Did you find the target?"

  Glenn's voice sounded depressed.

  "Yes, Boss, I found it."

  "Grayney Farm. The owner is Hershel Grayney. In addition to his family, there are several of his neighbors living there, a total of six people."

  "But the old man named Hershel was very stubborn. Andrea and I tried to persuade him, but he was still unwilling to leave his family's farm."

  Leon thought for a few seconds and said to Glenn:

  "You hand the intercom to Mr. Hershel and I will talk to him in person."

  "Okay, boss. I'll be right there."

  After about a minute, an old voice came from the intercom.

  "Hello, this is Hershel Greaney, who are you?"

  "Hello, Mr. Hershel, I am Leon Custer, the manager of Umbrella Corporation."

  Leon's voice was polite.

  "I think my staff has already told you our purpose, and you have rejected it."

  Hershel's voice was neither humble nor arrogant.

  "Yes, my family and I love this land deeply. We will not leave the land where we have lived for generations just because of a few words from outsiders."

  Leon was not angry, and said calmly:

  "I understand your thoughts, Mr. Hershel, but I guess you haven't been outside for a long time. Now the whole world is full of horrible monsters, and many of them have lost their humanity and become predators that are even more disgusting than monsters."

  "In the past few months, our Umbrella Company has eliminated more than 100 cruel looters and rescued dozens of poor good people from them."

  "I don't think you would want your relatives and friends to become food for monsters or playthings for predators."

  "So, Mr. Hershel, I have a proposal that I hope you will consider carefully."

  There was silence on the radio for more than ten seconds before the old voice spoke:

  "Mr. Custer, go ahead."

  Leon grinned, with a smile in his voice.

  "The more than 20 employees I sent are all strong fighters. They will set up a temporary camp near the farm and stay there. They will also be responsible for protecting the farm's security."

  "Of course this isn't free. You need to provide my staff with detailed local intelligence, help them collect nearby supplies, and rescue those survivors who are still alive."

  "It's not a hard choice, is it?"

  Hershel thought for a moment and replied:

  "It's a good deed from God, Mr. Custer."

  "I am willing to accept this offer."

  Lyon continued:

  "Mr. Hershel, our base is in urgent need of fresh fruits and vegetables. If you are willing, you can exchange your agricultural products for the various supplies you need."

  "Also, I have a small request."

  "Please go ahead, Mr. Custer." Hershel said, his heart tightening.

  "After a while, I will send some young people to your farm to help you with farm work and learn planting techniques from you. Is that okay?"

  Hershel breathed a sigh of relief and said:

  "No problem, Mr. Custer, it's a small matter."

  "That's it, you can discuss the details with the young man named Glenn."

  "He's my right-hand man, brave, kind, and a great guy."

  "I hope you guys can get along well."

  Putting down the radio in his hand, Leon smiled slightly and thought, Glenn, Glenn, boss, I can only help you up to this point. Whether you can get your future wife depends on your own ability.
