The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 45 Recruiting people forcefully
Little Bruce was woken up from hunger in his sleep.

He walked out of the tent, stroking his stomach, and saw a few men who were still on night watch, leaning against the fire and chatting with all their strength.

He also moved closer and squatted there, absorbing every ounce of warmth.

There are more than 30 people in this camp, and many of them joined halfway like them. There is no leader here, and there are no mandatory rules. Only those who participate in the materials collected by going out have a share. The work in the camp, Everyone divides the work.

Yesterday, the search team went out to work for a day, but they didn't get much food. Everyone was hungry. Today, he was going to go out to search with his brother. The two of them should be able to share more.

Thinking of his wife who had lost a lot of weight and his nephew who complained about not having enough to eat all day long, he couldn't help but curse the world in his heart. Damn it, their family turned out to be a well-known wealthy family in the town.

Just when he was about to shamelessly ask the neighbor to borrow some food to meet the emergency, he suddenly heard the sound of noisy footsteps.

Before he could react, he heard many people shouting:
"Be honest and don't move around. Our guns don't have eyes."

"If you don't want to die, don't move."

"Put down your weapon, or I'll kill you with one shot."

Little Bruce saw dozens of strong men in uniform black leather armor holding powerful submachine guns in their hands. Countless black muzzles were facing them, which made him unable to feel any resistance in his heart. .

Soon, all the members in the camp were woken up. Faced with the threat of death, no one dared to resist. Some people had fear on their faces, some were full of hatred, and some were numb.

At this time, a very tall and strong man walked out from the opponent's camp. He was handsome and had a good temperament. His green eyes were as deep as abyss and he had a warm smile on his face. If it weren't for the black guns around him, Mouth, this must be a very lovable man.

The man's voice was deep and magnetic.

"Friends, please don't be afraid, we are not predators and we are not killers."

"We are an umbrella company, an organization that exists to protect the hope of humanity."

"The reason why I point guns at you is because I don't want to cause unnecessary trouble and cause harm to both parties."

"Over the next week, you will be taken to our base and work for us for a week."

"This is not forced labor or slavery."

"Our company is a very humane enterprise with very generous wages and benefits. It not only provides food and accommodation, but also provides protection of life and property."

"Work in our company for one day, and you can get 2-3 days of survival supplies. After a week, if you still want to continue working for Umbrella Company, we will formally sign a recruitment agreement."

"If someone wants to leave, we will not stop them. You can leave safely with the materials you have earned."

"We are an honest organization. This invitation is a bit rude. Please don't mind."

The handsome man nodded to the Asian man next to him.

"For the sake of safety, we will take away your weapons, but don't worry, we will return them to you in full when you leave. You can even buy bullets from us."

"Okay, please surrender your weapons, pack your personal belongings, and be ready to leave with us."

Faced with threats and promises, people who were originally determined to resist also became hesitant. If it was true as the man said, leaving or staying in their camp would be a good choice in the end.They are all very ordinary survivors, without the courage to fight to the death.

After everyone dutifully handed over their weapons and packed their luggage, the tough guys actually brought over a lot of hot food, saying it would be their breakfast, including bread, eggs, and milk.

Little Bruce was shocked. Although before the disaster, he didn't bother to take a look at these things, but now, these are scarce supplies.

He couldn't care less. He, his brother, his wife, and his nephew all picked up the food and started gobbling it down. There was no longer much resistance to the other party's coercion.

Those who can provide you with food these days are good people.

Following the instructions of this group of people, they were assigned to different cars, but they were not separated from their families. After more than two hours of driving, the little Bruce family was taken to a place in Atlanta that seemed to be called something. CDC.

When they first came here, they were stunned. Hundreds of humans were working hard here. Countless steel pipes and steel nets were erected to form a steel fence nearly three meters high.

Occasionally, the zombies that came after hearing the noise were easily killed by the black-armored soldiers behind the workers. They didn't even use firearms. They just pointed at the zombie's eye socket through the steel mesh and stabbed it hard, and they could easily kill a zombie. .

After everyone got off the bus, the tall and handsome man summoned a middle-aged man who was arrogant and gave him some instructions.

He also called a craftsman in charge and gave some instructions, then walked towards the group of people.

He said with a smile:
"I have already greeted the managers here. You are all temporary workers at present, and someone will come to guide you later."

"We will provide your temporary food and accommodation. After you finish your work in the evening, we will allocate you a house, which will be deducted from your total salary."

"It's best not to run away. There are many zombies nearby, which is very dangerous."

After speaking, the man nodded to them and left without any additional restrictions.

The dozens of people here looked at each other in confusion.

However, they really didn't want to escape. This was the first time they saw so many humans after the disaster. The heavily armed black-armored soldiers around them made them feel safe and frightened.

In this way, under the guidance of some guides, they started to build steel fences like others. The food at noon and evening was quite rich, allowing them, the survivors who had been drifting outside, to enjoy the happiness of having a full meal again.

At night, they were actually assigned to a suite in a luxury hotel. The room was quite clean. Although there was no water or electricity supply, if they needed hot water, they could get it from the staff on the first floor.

They chatted with the regular employees around them while working. The real base of the Umbrella Company is inside the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. It is a truly civilized paradise. Not only can you take a hot bath, you can also watch TV, watch movies, and play games. , the weekly salary can be exchanged for a lot of food and daily necessities.

Compared with these regular employees who join the umbrella company, their past lives are nothing short of shit.

Gradually, as he learned more and more, little Bruce felt less and less resistant to this place, and instead had an urge to join here.

Starting from the second day, little Bruce found that his companions in the original camp were becoming more and more serious about their work, with more or less smiles on their faces. Many of them took the opportunity to get close to the regular employees around them. It seems to be adapting to the environment in advance.

It's not a bad life, isn't it?
