The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 28
Umbrella Base, in Operating Room No. [-].

Karl ate the candy given to him by Leon in a low mood. He glanced up from time to time to see the two men still talking not far away. He was too young to understand what they were talking about. What happened in the past month or so The little boy who had just started school was at a loss for what to do.

"That's how it is."

Leon and Sean sat across from each other. His face had no expression. He stared at Sean's still haggard face and said:
"Umbrella Corporation will not help all survivors for free. Either become our employees or leave."

"Of course, out of humanitarian spirit, if you choose to leave, I will wait a few days until Ms. Lori regains her ability to move before executing this order."

Looking at Sean's confused eyes, Leon added lightly.

"I think you should be able to understand that in this world, I am already a very kind person."

Sean came back to his senses, looked at Karl next to him, and then at Loli who was still lying on the hospital bed and said in a dry voice:
"Of course, Mr. Custer, choosing Umbrella is the wisest choice for me and for everyone."

"I hope to be able to serve you."

A warm smile appeared on Leon's expressionless face. He patted Sean on the shoulder and said:

"Very good, Mr. Sean, in that case, I can't be too stingy."

"We will bear 70% of Ms. Lori's medical expenses, and you can only bear the rest."

"However, don't worry. As a combatant, your salary is quite generous. It will not be a problem to support a woman and a child."

He stood up, touched Karl's little face with a smile, and said:
"Tomorrow you will be inducted with the other survivors."

"Tonight at eight o'clock, I will hold a sumptuous welcome dinner to welcome all employees who will join our umbrella company."

"I invite you to join Carl and relax."

[-]pm, public dining room.

Outside is a desperate, dangerous, and terrifying doomsday world, while inside is a safe, harmonious, and joyful human sanctuary.

After more than ten days of getting along, most of the old employees are already familiar with it. Under the instigation of several Sheniu employees, everyone let go of their scruples and started to revel in this rare banquet.

Some danced passionately, some kissed passionately, some sang loudly, and some drank happily.

The happy atmosphere quickly affected those newcomers who just joined the company today.

The children were the first to respond to the atmosphere. They forgot the hardships and difficulties of the past month or so. A few of them rushed to the dining table to choose their favorite food together with the children who had already started eating Hesse. Drinks, jumping around and having fun together.

The surviving elderly people also found their place. They slowly gathered in a corner of the banquet, sitting with the lonely elderly people who survived in the nursing home, drinking wine and chatting about the prosperous years of their youth. .

The remaining adult men and women also understood the atmosphere, and each found groups willing to accommodate them, sharing past experiences, encouraging each other, complimenting each other, and enjoying this rare joy.

Everyone was integrated into the atmosphere of the banquet, and everyone had a smile on their face. Even if tears flowed from the corners of their eyes from time to time, they seemed to have found a stable place deep in their hearts.

After giving an inspiring speech as usual, Leon held a glass of champagne and sat in his exclusive seat, like a king inspecting his territory. He smiled at the corner of his mouth and supported his head with his right hand, watching the performance below.

After the survivors from the chemical plant camp and the quarry camp joined in, the number of employees of the Umbrella Company has expanded to 76 people. Counting the four prisoners who are going to be used as coolies, the number of people is just 4.

According to preliminary statistics, there are probably three technicians from the engineering department in these two groups, namely Old Dale, a car mechanic in the quarry camp, Walter, a high school chemistry teacher in the chemical factory camp, and Jon, a senior welder in the chemical factory camp.

Counting the technical staff who joined before and the newly recruited high-end talent Professor Amlin, there are currently 10 employees in the engineering department. Although except for university professors, the others are quite ordinary technical jobs, but if they are used well, they can also Produces a lot of nice products.

Lyon was somewhat surprised in terms of the combatants of the Security Department. In addition to the senior county police officer Sean, there were a total of four people at the chemical plant camp who were willing to participate in the battle.

It may be that they have been tortured and imprisoned by the gangsters of the Fire Bull Gang before, which made them understand that in this kind of world, only those with weapons can protect themselves and their families.

Two long-violated young girls and their hateful relatives have chosen to fight.So far, the security department already has 16 fighters, which can be divided into two and transformed into two combat teams.

As for the employees of the logistics department, apart from 9 children under the age of 10, 12 elderly people who can barely take care of themselves, and 3 women who are in charge of government affairs, the real workforce of young and middle-aged people is actually only 36 people.

Leon was sipping champagne and thinking about the home under his hands. At that moment, two smooth and delicate arms suddenly wrapped around his neck from behind.

A familiar fragrance lingered in his nose. Amy, with a slightly red face and blurred eyes, rubbed her cheek against the slightly stubbled side of his face like a kitten.

"Mr. Custer, why do you always look so lonely? Don't sit here. Let's dance together. You can also have fun with everyone!"

"Actually, everyone respects you and wants to get close to you."

Listening to the girl's drunken murmur, Leon reached out and pulled Amy to him, letting her lean in his arms.

He rubbed her pointed chin like a kitten and said in his deep and honest voice:

"If you get too close, you will forget fear. Without fear, order cannot be enforced."

"Loneliness is the passport of the strong."

"I'm enjoying it."

The girl didn't seem to understand what he said, so she rubbed her face against his chest a few times.

Leon helped Amy up, patted her little butt, and said:
"You go and play by yourself, I have some things to consider."

Amy rubbed his ears with him for a while, and then joined the happy crowd in a happy mood.

Looking at Amy's slim figure, Leon's thoughts returned to business.

Recruiting and building.

He is going to set up a special recruitment team, consisting of Andrea, Glenn, a soldier, and a logistician. Within the communication range of the umbrella base, he will use radio, signboards, and searches to Recruit surviving humans.

Within this distance, whether it is strangulation, rescue, arrest, or other unexpected situations, a quick response can be obtained.

It can not only ensure their safety, but also clean up the surrounding environment.

The most important construction task at present is housing renovation.

At present, the population of the base has reached 80 people. It is no longer feasible to live in tents or RVs as in the past. Private residences with more comfort and privacy are needed to meet the residents' requirements. .

He is ready to use all 30 laborers to fully promote the project.

In his plan, there will be two levels of housing.

The first is a high-end residence located on the second floor of an office building. It has sunlight, air circulation, convenient water and electricity equipment, and relatively comfortable living conditions.

The second type is a civilian residence on the second floor of an underground parking lot that he plans to renovate. Other aspects do not matter. The only drawback is that it will be located underground and the environment is relatively depressing.

Contribution points are required to be paid for food and lodging at Umbrella Corporation, just like working meals provided in communal canteens.

If you want to enjoy better services, you have to pay more contribution points.

Take the most common logistics staff with a weekly salary of 700 points as an example. Currently, they only need to work for one week, and the actual salary is enough to meet their basic consumption for three weeks.

Of course, it's just the most basic consumption. If you want some entertainment and luxury items to enrich your life, you have to work harder.
