The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 60 Police Officers
On February 2, Leon was practicing sniper shooting against zombies with Kevella on the top floor of the hotel.

A message came from Daryl's team who were exploring the city center.

"Boss, there is a group of people who want to see you. They are from Grady Memorial Hospital."

Leon was not surprised by this news. He had been sending people to pay special attention to this place. It was because he did not have much interest in this group of survivors that he was left unprocessed until now.

As members of the security department continued to explore the city center, more and more neighborhoods were liberated, and zombies on some outer streets began to be cleared on a large scale.

Under Lyon's arrangement, the Security Department and the Logistics Department cooperated with each other and adopted an area segmentation strategy, using various large vehicles and metal mesh walls to quickly block various traffic intersections, block the passages between different streets, and divide the city. The neighborhood around the center is divided into many small areas.

For these small areas, Lyon sent a large number of manpower and improved trap trucks, and began to gradually and effectively eliminate the zombies on each street.

After the streets where Grady Memorial Hospital was located were cleared of zombies, the survivors inside the hospital also began to cautiously explore the outside world.

After several days of testing, this group of survivors who had been trapped in the hospital seemed to have finally mustered up the courage and decided to try to contact the Umbrella Company, the current overlord of survivors in the Atlanta area.

Leon thought for a while, since they took the initiative to find them, let's meet them, although he didn't have a very good impression of this group of surviving police officers.

"Take their weapons and bring them to the hotel to meet me."

On the other side of the radio, two survivors dressed as criminal police officers were surrounded by soldiers from the Security Department.

Daryl looked at Mitis and Cassius with a serious expression, and said in a hoarse voice:
"Our boss is willing to see you, but for safety reasons, your weapons will be temporarily detained."

The bald policeman Cassius and the blonde policewoman Mitis looked at each other and obediently handed over their weapons.

As professional criminal policemen in Atlanta, they can easily see that the group of strong men in front of them are not easy to mess with. Not only are they well-equipped, comparable to armed SWAT police, but everyone's eyes are full of the kind of people who have experienced many battles and have long-term experience. The determination and calmness of killing are not comparable to that of ordinary gangsters.

Darryl nodded, asked his subordinates to drive a modified van, and then ordered:

"Ron, Ali, you two will come with me and take them to see the boss."

"Others continue to carry out clearance missions."

"As you command, Captain Daryl."

After receiving the order, the strong men took action.

Two strong men walked out of the crowd, holding assault rifles. They sandwiched Mittis and Cassius on the left and right, and entered the back seat of the van.

Darryl put his alloy crossbow in the co-pilot's position, lit and started it skillfully, and drove the van with a few people to the umbrella base.

After driving in silence for a few minutes, bald detective Cassius glanced at his team member Mitis.

Mitis, the pretty-looking policewoman, took a deep breath, showed a professional and kind smile, and asked Daryl:

"Mr. Daryl, what kind of organization is your Umbrella Company? We have been trapped in the hospital for too long and have no contact with the outside world for half a year."

The silent macho man Daryl glanced at Mittis through the rearview mirror, considered for more than ten seconds before speaking:
"Don't worry, we are not bad people." Mitis smiled awkwardly and asked again:

"I know you are not bad people. I saw you in the hospital cleaning up the zombies nearby, at least several blocks, wasting a lot of manpower and material resources. Why are you doing this?"

Daryl was silent for another ten seconds before speaking:
"We're going to clean up the city center and collect the resources inside."

Hearing this kind of beating that didn't seem to match the question again, Mitis's smile paused for a few seconds and decided to change the target. The smile on her face became more friendly and she asked the fat man on her right. :
"Mr. Ron, may I call you that?"

The fat Ron looked the policewoman up and down and said:

"Madam, you don't need to ask so many questions. You only need to know that the organization we are in is fighting for the future of mankind and is an organization full of civilization and order. That is enough."

"When you meet our boss later, be polite and answer his questions honestly, and you won't be hurt."

Ron thought for a while and added:

"Be calm and don't have any bad intentions. Our organization is extremely powerful. We can crush your camp with just a few fingers."

After Ron said a few words that sounded like threats and warnings, the two detectives became more honest. They looked at each other and silently observed the scenery outside the window.

It was very safe along the way. Both sides of the road were surrounded by walls piled up with rocks or car wrecks, and all zombies and obstacles on the road had been cleared.

The car drove for about 10 minutes and arrived at Atlanta's industrial area.

In the impression of Mitis and Cassius, this is where a few heavy industrial factories in Atlanta are located. Because there are very few disputes, they, the criminal police, rarely come here and are not very familiar with it.

Soon, the van drove farther and farther away from the factories and came to the urban area near the interstate highway.

A fence more than three meters high and unknown in length, made of a mixture of metal mesh and steel, suddenly appeared in front of them. The heavy metal base and dense metal poles made the fence appear unusually strong.

The astonishing length and the distance that can't be seen at a glance surprised the two of them secretly. At some point, such a wall unexpectedly appeared here.

The van drove around the metal fence for several kilometers and stopped in front of a huge metal gate guarded by many soldiers.

As Daryl stretched out his head and explained his purpose to the sentry beside the gate, the huge metal gate was slowly opened.

As the van slowly drove in, Mitis and Cassius saw a huge square in front of them. At a glance, they saw the iconic building of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the center of the square, and on the right side of the square. In front of a high-end hotel that is tens of meters high, we also saw many cars carrying building materials transporting back and forth between various construction sites. Hundreds of workers wearing heavy work clothes were working hard in different construction sites.

It is hard to imagine that in the current apocalyptic world, in the city of Atlanta where they are located, they can still see such a scene of human unity and prosperity.

Daryl looked through the rearview mirror and saw the dumbfounded expressions of the two detectives. He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth, and he said hoarsely:

"This is the base of our umbrella company, and our boss is waiting for you over there."

"Organize your language well, he is very busy."
