Time moved back into the night, before the rescue operation began outside the factory that was led by Airon, in the community of Alexandria.
Due to recent problems, a group was tasked with leading an emergency operation to the nearest S.C.T. base, where at least one hundred and fifty people were moved safely and quietly.
Airon and the others knew that it was not at all beneficial to have so many people in this place, so he organized a special elite group and sent all those people safely.
The guards were enough to protect Alexandria even with the large number that led both operations, at least everyone knew that they would know if something happened that could endanger the security of the place.
...
Meanwhile, there were a few people sitting on the couch in Deanna's house, Lucille was resting in a recliner and next to her was Negan who was holding her hand lovingly.
Sitting on the other side were Maggie, Alicia's mother Madison and Aaron.
Maggie looked over at Lucille, who was already asleep on the couch with a smile on her face, and said quietly, "You two have such a good relationship. It would be great if Glenn and I could do the same in the future."
"Well, I heard that your family was in the main base of the organization that Airon leads, why are you fighting in this place if you can stay by your family's side?"
Hearing this question, Maggie looked at Madison and said, "My father and sister, we have always stayed on the farm since our closest ones departed from this world. I slowly learned from the original Airon group that we must fight in this world to survive. At first my father did not agree, he did not want me to put myself in danger but he understood perfectly well that this was not his choice."
"Right now, even though I miss my family I can talk to them from this place once a day. That pleases and we make sure we are always okay, no matter the distance. We are creating a future and I am a part of it, that pleases me very much."
Madison smiled and said nothing, apparently Maggie's family was exactly like hers. Alicia left this shelter in search of a future she very easily couldn't care about, but she understood what that meant for the future.
"You said you were hiding out in a small town until your wife's chemotherapy was finished?"
"Well, that was all thanks to Franklin, I was able to finish the treatment because of him due to losing all the meds due to lack of electricity."
Franklin's laughter came from the side, he pointed towards Negan and said with some joking, "Hahaha he actually dared to carry a gun with no bullets to rob us on our first meeting."
His daughter to the side also laughed and said, "I remember it well, I knocked him out with a baseball bat which is Negan's favorite weapon."
Everyone in the room laughed and could imagine the embarrassment amidst Negan's laughter, who tries to rob someone with no bullets in their gun?
Negan didn't mind everyone's laughter, and even extended his thumb in praise.
"That hit was pretty hard!"
"Hahaha."
Lucille, who had been sleeping all afternoon, woke up to the laughter. She opened her sleepy eyes, looked at the blanket over her dazed body, and then saw her husband's worried eyes, and her nervous heart instantly calmed down.
"Hello!"
"Honey, it's time to get up and eat. The serum in your arm is for you to recover slowly, the doctor said that with this you will regain the strength you have lost."
All the people who chatted all afternoon stood up and were about to leave when they heard a scream coming from the courtyard followed by many gunshots.
"Ah!"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Immediately after, several gunshots broke the quiet in the community, and there were screams one after another, everyone in the room drew their guns, Negan even grabbed the baseball bat at his side and reached out to grab his wife's hand.
"We're under attack!"
"Zz... That's a lot of figures in the dark, we don't know which way they came in.... Ahhhh!"
In an instant, communication was lost and in the distance an explosion was heard followed by large flares that lit up the quiet night.
"Let's support!"
Most of the guards outside were people belonging to Alexandria, who had been trained for a long time, and shots rang out from different sides of the base, so they should now be suppressing the enemy.
The people in the house quickly ran out, only Negan took Lucille to the second floor of the house and was about to close the door behind his back, but Lucille reached out her hand to stop him.
"Negan, it's too dangerous outside!"
"Easy, what kind of man am I if I can't protect you? I'm sure I'll be fine. Stay here and wait for me to come back."
After speaking, he freed himself from his wife's arms, closed the door and shook the handle of the baseball bat, a wicked grin on his face.
The square was crowded at the moment, and the sky was already dark. Some guys with torches were moving through the community. They broke into houses and rushed to kill anyone they saw. Some people had guns, and the rest just held cold weapons.
Meanwhile, every so often numerous people from that group died with numerous gunshots in their bodies. But this did not matter to him, as if the purpose of killing was more important.
Liam was the first to run out of the house, and he ran towards two guys with machetes. In the glow of the flames, he clearly saw the two W marks on the heads of the enemies, and suddenly a surge of anger arose.
That's right, these people were the wolves. These guys chased them from Noah's community. Although Airon's group made sure to kill the whole group, the rest are so brave that they are not afraid of death.
The leader of the wolves was one of the three exiled before by Deanna, but due to too much external stimulation, he had mental problems, so there was no difference to that of a madman, but as he got closer and closer to Alexandria, it made him remember this settlement where he had stayed for a short period of time, so he came to this place with the remaining seventy wolves of the group.
Thanks to a group of people outside, several people gathered at one point, and these people did not choose this point randomly, but built a staircase that led directly to the wall.
As for why the guards didn't see them, it was because the wolves were smart that they attracted a small horde of walkers that distracted the guards long enough to be killed with Molotov cocktails.
The wolves that came in were basically in groups of two or three, and broke into several houses directly. This was also the source of the screams at this time.
The guards were many, but no matter how many enemies they killed, as long as they were in the dark and inside the base it was impossible for them to distinguish them as easily
At this moment, Liam and his group had just run out of the house, and suddenly a woman came running out of a house not far from them, it was a woman who had had an argument with Airon's people in the morning.
The moment she ran out of the room, a machete cut directly into her neck. The sharp blade sliced through the flesh, exposing the blood vessels inside. The neck snapped in half instantly, and blood flowed like a fountain, staining the floor with blood.
Some of her blood splashed onto the face of the man in front of her. The man showed an excited expression, smiling and was about to pick up the knife and run to the side when Liam shot him in the head.
Bang!
Both corpses lay on the ground, motionless. Seeing that the woman who could not survive, Liam could not stand that this place protected by him was attacked in this way, he looked at everyone and gathered them together immediately, trying to organize the people.
At this moment, two people jumped off the fence behind them again, all of them had shiny weapons in their hands.
"Keep everyone with a damn letter on their forehead, shoot as many times as it takes to kill them."
Although these people were crazy, they did not rush forward in a foolish manner.
...
Two men from the crazy group entered a house.
At this moment standing at the end is Denise.
This woman is a medical student who had been studying medical skills from many people in this place, and then joined to serve as a nurse. She usually studied with Bob and occasionally learned something from Edward.
The two wolves finally arrived not far behind her, and raised their knives without hesitation in silence.
Denise seemed to sense something, turned her head to look back and saw how two knives had been raised by unknown persons. And the next moment, two dull thuds were heard.
Poof, poof!
A man moved in the darkness swiftly behind the wolves, and two loud blows struck directly at the wolves' heads.
Before Denise recovered from the fright, she saw the two wolves roll their eyes and fall to the ground. Behind them stood a man dressed in black leather with an evil grin on his face.
"They almost did shit to you, my dear."
Then his voice came.
"Are you okay?"
Denise's mind went blank, she shook her head in a daze, hearing the other party continue just as she was about to speak.
"I need you to come in. Lucille is hiding in the stairwell. Go and take care of her. Just leave these bastards to me, understand?"
Nodding quickly, Denise immediately twisted his fat body and ran into the room.
Just as Negan turned his head, he saw a wolf running from the side out of the corner of his eye, the corner of his mouth was turned up and he muttered to himself in a mocking tone.
"Dude, you're a mouse!"
Just as the wolves rushed forward, relying on his height and long legs, Negan kicked straight out and the opponent's abdomen with his right foot.
But Negan didn't stop, he took advantage of the distance to hit another man coming in his direction. After several blows to his head, he sighed heavily.
He looked up again and looked around only to see an old man running out the door of another house. However, a long-haired man immediately ran out behind him, and the knife in his hand lunged toward the old man's back.
Soon, the old man fell into a pool of blood without moving, and the man looked up and saw Negan, who was witnessing everything not far away. He wiped the blood from his face and his face immediately became covered in red. The cruel smile made anyone who saw him feel chills.
