Chapter 151 Rick’s Worries
The prison's transformation went very smoothly, and the outbound teams were constantly transporting supplies from the Port of Atlanta back to the base.
The exploration of several military bases is also proceeding slowly under the leadership of Rick and Sean. To be precise, the camps are not bases. They should be a few temporary camps set up to control the situation when the apocalypse breaks out. It is very likely that they were the ones before. The troops at the base where they went.
However, these places are scattered around Atlanta. In many places, roadblocks need to be cleared slowly before you can pass. You also have to be careful of the groups of corpses that may appear at any time. Sometimes you have to clear roadblocks in one place for several days. This has made Sean, who is already impatient, a little nervous recently. irritable.
And as time passed and the number of outings increased, casualties gradually began to occur, which gave Rick a very headache.
When Lu Jiayi was here before, he would make detailed plans every time he went out, and his command before the battle was in place. He could often avoid some dangerous factors. But since he left, he has been a little uncomfortable with suddenly managing such a large base. The daily routine There were too many chores and he had to plan various outings, which made Rick very busy.
Looking at the team members who were clearing the roadblocks, Rick walked up to Sean. The visible anxiety on his face made Sean stunned.
"What's wrong?"
Rick reached out and rubbed his temples, and said with some unconfidence: "Sean, now I really understand how difficult it was for Lu back then. Managing the base was so tiring. No wonder he wanted Catherine to help him. "
Sean said nonchalantly: "Brother, you don't have to belittle yourself. There is no right or wrong in this matter. Lu is indeed great, but you are not bad either."
Shaking his head, Rick said in a low tone: "Since Lu left, several people have been killed in our base one after another. When Lu was here, except for Kahn, no one suffered casualties, and Ka En’s death was also caused by Loli, so it was indirectly related to me.”
Seeing that Rick's will was a little depressed, Sean quickly grabbed the other person's shoulders and comforted him.
"Hey, you can't think like that. You have done very well. Look at how well the base is developing now. Not many people can do what Lu did. When he left, he suggested that you take over the base, which shows that he recognized that you are not As for the casualties, this is a normal thing. Even Lu can't guarantee that there will be no casualties, so cheer up and don't look depressed. "
Rick listened to Sean's persuasion and was still a little hesitant. It's not that he didn't understand the truth, but people would make comparisons. Just because there are no objections in the base now doesn't mean there won't be in the future. There's still at least a few days before Lu comes back. He didn't want the base to become a mess in three or four months.
"Hey, we can only use our brains to make arrangements. We can't prevent accidents, but we can do other things well."
…
Just when Rick was having a headache about how to manage the base, Lu Jiayi was also having a headache.
More than a month has passed since contacting the two forces in the Kingdom of God. Lu Jiayi led Daryl and Moore to conduct a thorough investigation around Alexander.
Lu Jiayi confirmed the location of the garbage station and the seaside hotel, but pretended to observe for a while and did not have contact with either party. The Moore brothers did not say anything about it.
As for the whereabouts of the Salvation Army, Lu Jiayi was really unsure now. He was wondering why the Salvation Army hadn't appeared yet. Did the Salvation Army originally show up very late?
With this question in mind, Lu Jiayi found the outpost of the Salvation Army in the original drama, the satellite station, but found that it was empty. Except for a small amount of supplies, not even a single person could be seen.
Unwilling to give up, he found the headquarters of the Salvation Army again, but there was no trace of the other party here.
On the other hand, the rest of the people, who had traveled frequently between the two settlements in the past month, had become familiar with the people on both sides, especially Axel and Bob.
Axel, the repairman, is a hot commodity in the eyes of these people. There are no people in the two settlements who are too proficient in mechanics, so many minor problems are simply repaired, and they can make do with it. .
But one time there was a problem with the boiler in the Kingdom of God. Axel happened to be there at the time, so he simply helped out. This incident was even seen by Jesus who came to trade, and then Axel became Got busy.
As for Bob, he mainly helps people see doctors. Although there is also a Dr. Carson in Shandingzhai, he is an obstetrician and gynecologist, while Bob is a veritable military doctor who is quite good at treating some common diseases and trauma. .
Especially in the Kingdom of God, where people often fall ill due to lack of medical treatment and medicine. Originally, Ezekiel’s first choice was Lu Jiayi, but this captain’s whereabouts were erratic, and the dragon often disappeared without a trace, so he settled for the second best, and Bob Ascended.
At the beginning, the two parties mainly traded materials. Later, after a few more contacts, they were not limited to transactions. The two families would occasionally go out together to look for supplies.
Whether it was Ezekiel or Jesus, they were all amazed by the combat effectiveness of Lu Jiayi's team. These dozen people were all unique figures, and each had their own unique skills. They were all good at near, medium and long distances.
Among them, the one who likes to follow them out to search for supplies is none other than Jesus. The combat effectiveness of Shanshan Mountain Village is very poor, and there are not many people who can fight. And almost all of these people are tied up at home due to defense work, and very few can go out, so Jesus usually went out by himself.
Although a large part of the supplies would be taken away from Lu Jiayi's team now, the efficiency would be much higher. However, he found that there were some rookies among these people who looked very strange. However, after getting to know them better, he realized that those people were survivors of another community. It is said that they are a group of lucky guys.
Today's team members stayed in Alexandria. They felt a little tired from frequent outings recently. Lu Jiayi suggested that everyone take a rest and plan their next trip. Many members of Alexandria were also in their team at this time.
After a month of reunion, everyone seemed to have a look of confidence on their faces, which was what he wanted to see.
He sat in front of everyone and greeted them with a smile.
"How have you been spending the past month or so?"
Axel was the first to speak, his tone full of embarrassment.
"Haha, I'm so busy, I can't take any time off every day!"
The others looked at the greasy uncle with disgust and moved slightly away.
Moll smirked and joked: "You are so busy, have you forgotten your basic skills? Come and practice with me later."
The smile on Axel's face disappeared at the speed of light, and the way he sat upright made everyone around him laugh.
The natives of Alexandria were also smiling happily. During this period, their improvement can be described as rapid. Most of them can already deal with a large number of walking corpses on their own. Although there are still some minor accidents occasionally, the flaws cannot be concealed. , and Lu Jiayi's team gradually accepted this group of people, and these dozen people slowly turned into a group of more than thirty people.
Diana looked at the group of people in the open space from a distance, with thoughtfulness in her eyes. In the past month or so, the changes the other party had brought to this place were significant, which could be seen from the change in her own people's attitude towards them. Although There are only a dozen people who are close to the other party, but these more than ten people are the members that Alexander often went out with in the past. She agrees with many of the other party's practices, but her location restricts some of her actions. If she is just an ordinary community member member, she would join Lu Jiayi's team without hesitation.
It seemed that he had to find time to have a good talk with Lu Zai, and Lu Jiayi also secretly glanced into the distance at this time, thinking about something in his mind.
The crowd below were chatting happily at this time. Only Catherine saw his movements and immediately showed a thoughtful look.
