After staying in the prison base for two days, Gray brought his team to the prison gathering point for a visit. However, things were not as smooth as Leon had imagined.
There are more than 30 survivors in the Terminus camp, but only about half of them are willing to join Umbrella Corporation and become its employees. They are all wanderers who have come to the Terminus in the last two or three months, and they don't have much feelings for Gray and the others.
The other half, including Gray and his mother, a total of more than a dozen survivors, were friends who had been together since the beginning of the troubled times. They helped each other and had deep feelings for each other. None of them wanted to leave the Terminal Camp, accept the constraints of another organization, lose their freedom, and go to live somewhere else.
Such a reason made Lyon feel helpless. Indeed, Americans value freedom and are willing to even risk their lives for it.
The reason why Umbrella Corporation has been able to develop to its current stage is largely because at the beginning of the apocalypse, ordinary people's fear of unknown monsters and the concept of civilization had not yet faded in their hearts, allowing the company to recruit a group of capable core employees in its starting stage.
After thinking for a long time, Lyon and Gray reached an agreement under the witness of the local manager Kevila.
Umbrella Corporation and Grey's camp have reached a cooperative relationship. They can take the various materials they have searched for to the prison in exchange for contribution points, and then use these contribution points to exchange for the resources they want.
Scarce resources including medicines, weapons, food, etc. can be exchanged with contribution points. You can even use contribution points to get medical assistance after being injured.
In addition, Lyon also proposed an outsourcing system, which means that partners like Gray can be temporarily hired as temporary workers to work for local bases. Their personal freedom will not be restricted, and they will be paid according to their work ability and their wages will be settled on a daily basis.
Of course, their income is definitely much lower than that of Umbrella's internal employees, but when they have nothing to do or cannot find resources, working as a temporary worker in a prison base is a safe and convenient way to earn extra money, isn't it?
There are even some leaders in small camps who are unwilling to let their subordinates join other organizations. Not only will they interfere, they will even lead the survivors of the entire force to turn against them and form a hostile relationship.
After finishing the work at the terminal, Leon stayed in the prison base for another two days. Every night after dark, he would do his best to use his body to make up for the debt of long-term separation from the red-haired girl, and he would not stop until she cried and begged for mercy.
"Tomorrow morning, I will bring the drone reconnaissance team with you to investigate the specific situation of Fort Benning again."
Lyon waved his hand and asked his men to bring a radio communication device and a matching solar charging system to Gray.
"However, the good news is that even within the ground of the base, we have found a large number of abandoned artillery, weapons, bombs and ammunition, enough to arm more than 1,000 people. These should have been carried out from the armory by the soldiers who died in the battle."
Leon had a terrible headache.
He flipped through it with great interest and saw the names of Hammer God Tyrese and his sister Sasha.
They are composed of the most elite warriors with combat talents, using the most advanced weapons and equipment designed for them, receiving the most rigorous combat training, and performing the most difficult special tasks.
"They have all entered the walls of the military base and are scattered throughout the various facilities within the base. Due to the complex terrain, it is probably difficult to lure them out using noise."
"In the past six months alone, more than a hundred looters have died at our hands,"
With a happy smile, he had already taken the two more powerful characters in the protagonist group into his hands.
He leaned back in his chair and lit a cigar to relieve his boredom. Knowing that William, an old-school soldier, did not smoke, he did not share it with him.
"I'm sorry, General. I'm not an expert in armaments and weapons, so my understanding is not accurate. My main responsibility abroad has always been special operations."
"Most large bases will have tanks, fighter jets, and artillery of varying levels."
After seeing Gray off, Leon leaned back on the leather sofa and fell into thought. The recruitment at the terminal also reminded him that when facing other camps in the future, simple recruitment may not be as effective as before.
"Is there enough ammunition? Has it not been shipped out?"
"Not every survivor is a kind person. Many desperate people have degenerated and turned into beasts without any bottom line. They fear the strong and despise the weak. When they encounter people weaker than them, they kill, rape, rob, enslave, and commit all kinds of evil."
"Although many areas and underground bases require breaking into security doors to enter, we have not found any signs of large-scale convoys entering or leaving."
He turned on the computer and dealt with some backlog of government affairs. Before he could even sit down, Amy and Colonel William came to his office to find him.
"Although we will charge a fee, our organization will never stand by and watch kind-hearted survivors die."
By the time he returned to the Umbrella base with his guards, Peggy and her brother, and a dozen newly recruited survivors, five days had passed since he left.
After reporting the intelligence, Colonel William took the initiative to leave Lyon's office. As the most professional combat commander in the base, he was responsible for much more work than an ordinary team leader.
Colonel William saluted Lyon and said with a serious expression:
"I will follow your orders, General."
After a brief greeting, the old-fashioned middle-aged officer said without hesitation:
"General, my scouts have already conducted a preliminary survey of the Fort Benning military base."
"However, those stationed soldiers must have used heavy weapons such as artillery during the defense, which caused a huge noise and attracted all the zombies nearby. We found out that the number of zombies in the surrounding area is very small. They left their own areas and gathered in Fort Benning."
"They are not easy to deal with."
As long as the Umbrella Corporation is always much stronger than them, even if they become an ally similar to an alliance, they can always dominate, control the power of the entire alliance, and finally gradually swallow up these small forces.
Gray was shocked and moved by Leon's advice. He solemnly accepted the radio communication device, expressed his gratitude, and said that he would become a sincere partner of Umbrella Corporation in the future.
"Mr. Gray, as a collaborator, although I admire your kindness and nobility, I still have to remind you that the survivors who are still wandering outside at this time have more or less human or zombie blood and lives on their hands."
"How are the munitions and ammunition stocks inside?"
Leon enjoyed the service of the assistant and took a look at the document, which contained the list and information of the latest batch of security department fighters.
"According to our observations, there are at least 300,000 zombies gathered inside Fort Benning."
Lyon's thoughts raced as he began to think about the feasibility of these things.
Moreover, the generous treatment provided by the Umbrella Corporation is incomparable to those small forces. Everyone yearns for a more comfortable life, and the majority of people are definitely willing to join their Umbrella Corporation.
Colonel William looked serious and answered straight ahead:
"Probably not, General."
Seeing her so proactive, Leon smiled secretly in his heart. This little girl hasn't tasted meat for a week, and it seems that she is a little amorous.
Since even the elite soldiers of the security department cannot adapt to those difficult tasks and are prone to casualties, why not form an elite team like the special forces?
After Gray's team finished their visit, Leon took Kevera to see them off. Before leaving, he specifically reminded this kind young man a few words.
"Some important military bases will also be equipped with a certain number of intercontinental missiles, fuel-air explosives and other types of high-powered weapons."
Looking at the photos of Sasha and his sister, thinking of Michonne who was still doing nothing in the base, and Rick and Sean who were enjoying family happiness, an idea suddenly came to his mind.
Not only were there training and combat missions, but there was also a written task specifically assigned to him by Lyon, which was to write a simplified version of the military command and combat system.
But I'm sorry, little Amy, my brother has a date tonight.
If we only rely on bullets and artillery to kill them, then even if we take out all the supplies in the base, the number may not be enough. Moreover, doing so will seriously affect the progress of other projects.
At this time, a cooperative relationship similar to that with Gray Camp becomes another option.
After Colonel William left, Amy immediately stepped forward to massage his shoulders and handed him a document.
"According to our investigation, the Fort Benning military base covers an area of about 185 square kilometers, with strong walls and complete defense facilities."
"You are few in number and have little combat experience. If you encounter difficulties that are difficult to resolve, you can contact us via radio."
At this moment, Lyon even thought of the name of the team, Stinger Team, let's call it Stinger Team.
Lyon frowned when he heard this. He originally thought that there were only 40,000 to 50,000 zombies in Fort Benning, but he didn't expect that the number of zombies there exceeded 300,000, and they were all trapped within the walls of the base. It was impossible to use tricky sound induction or ambush traps to lure them into open areas and strangle them.
It's really difficult to deal with such a large number of zombies.
After all, the longer they stayed in this apocalypse, the deeper the bonds between the people in those small camps became. They had formed their own unique relationships, and some had become as close as family.
"My soldiers used flesh and blood camouflage to enter the base and conduct a preliminary reconnaissance."
Amy saw him staring at the documents and smiled. She suddenly lowered her head and secretly pecked him on the lips. Then she leaned against his body shyly and looked through the documents together.
However, the current cooperative relationship is too simple and has many loopholes. Lyon decided that after returning to the base, he must plan it carefully and find some experts in this field to have a good talk. Even if he encounters medium-sized or even large forces in the future, he will be prepared.
"According to the conventions of our army and the current peacetime regulations, Fort Benning should have at least enough weapons to equip 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and ammunition for a small-scale war lasting more than a month."
Leon shook his head with a kind expression. He could not blame this upright officer who had always been loyal to his duty. However, he already had some ideas in his mind on how to deal with the zombies trapped in the military base.
"Well, Colonel William."
If you have such a team, you can definitely accomplish many miracles that ordinary people cannot accomplish.
Using cheap resources or scarce materials to exchange for the support and labor of these isolated small camps, and gathering them into a large one to form an alliance, is also a means of development.
After secretly making an appointment with Peggy to reward her for her hard work these days in the evening, Leon returned to his office.
"Once we have more intelligence, we can discuss how to retake this military base."
They will be like a poisonous dagger, breaking through numerous obstacles, stabbing the enemy's heart with one blow, killing the enemy and bringing victory to the entire protector company.
Thinking of his humiliating experience in the Senas Nuclear Power Plant, Leon's heart was instantly filled with anger.
