The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 83 Be a good boss
Looking at Judith who was being held in front of him, Leon raised a smile at the corner of his mouth and was about to press his face to kiss this cute little baby girl.

Unexpectedly, Judith's mouth suddenly puffed up, and he opened his small mouth, puff!Sprayed saliva all over his face.

This scene made everyone around laugh. Amy smiled and stretched out her arms to hug little Judith, looking at her boss happily.

Leon smiled bitterly and got some tissues from the table nearby, wiped his face, and said to Rick:
"She is very brave and will definitely become a lovely little angel in the future."

Amy came over from the side and helped him straighten his tie. Judith had been handed over to Sean. The macho man's eyes were full of tenderness and he was teasing the baby girl with a small children's toy.

At the dinner that day, everyone had a great time. Leon also put down his pretensions as the big boss, bragging and spanking with everyone as doctor Leon, smoking cigars, and playing bridge until midnight.

Returning to his room, he helped Amy, who was slightly drunk, into the girl's bedroom. He went to the bathroom and took a hot bath to wash away the smell of alcohol.

He had already entered a state of self-cultivation. Instead of doing those pleasant things with his little secretary, he went to the shooting range at the lower level of the base to practice marksmanship alone.

Due to the special energy in his body, his energy has always been very strong. He only needs to rest for two or three hours a day to regain his energy for the whole day. He can obviously do more things, but because he is used to enjoying it, he wasted it before. A lot of time.

After experiencing a fatal threat, Leon decided not to indulge himself too much, but to spend more time and energy on improving his strength or power.

After practicing until four or five o'clock in the morning and consuming thousands of bullets, Leon felt that his marksmanship had improved slightly.

Just as he was about to go back and take a nap, a thin woman also came to the shooting range. She found the night shift administrator, received a pistol and a box of ammunition, and walked to a 30-meter target in a corner. Start practicing your marksmanship silently.

Leon recognized her, she was actually Carol, which made him a little surprised. You must know that practicing marksmanship at the shooting range costs contribution points, and the price is not cheap.

After all, in this world, bullets are also a very precious resource. As an organization with a clear distinction between public and private, the Umbrella Company cannot provide free bullets for everyone to use.

After observing for a while, Leon found that Carroll's marksmanship has surpassed that of ordinary civilians. The 30-meter fixed target has a hit rate of about 70.00%. Obviously, he has been practicing for a while.

He vaguely remembered that little Amy once said that a few months after the accident, Carol buried her husband. Now she was raising her daughter Sophia alone, and her life was relatively difficult.

This little matter was still decided by Amy, and he had not interfered.

In the current umbrella base, although Amy claims to be Leon's personal secretary, most of the sundries are arranged and handled by her. Although her position does not seem to be high, her power is very powerful. In the hearts of most ordinary employees, , this 23-year-old girl is probably already a big shot.

But what caused Carol to come over to learn marksmanship in the early morning? Leon probably had a guess in his mind. Instead of disturbing the single mother, he returned to his residence and slept until 8 o'clock.

After waking up, Little Amy came over with a sumptuous breakfast, served him while he ate, and told him that a group of survivors would be sent to the prison base for interviews. There would be about 20 people there, and this half For months, the prison stronghold was searched for survivors and asked if he would participate in this interview.

Leon thought for a while and then agreed. Although not all employees in the company were recruited by him personally, he had personally read each person's resume and recruitment video carefully, even if many people could not remember their names. , but everyone had a vague impression in his mind.

After breakfast and handling some government affairs, when the time came around 9 o'clock, Leon came to Andrea's office, a conference room on the first floor.

This place has been officially named the personnel group, which is responsible for the personnel deployment, remuneration and recruitment of new members for the entire company. As the leader of the personnel group, Andrea, a veteran employee of the company, has also been promoted to a C-level member, and is the leader of the entire company. One of the few senior government officials in the company.

She received Amy's notice very early and waited at the door of the personnel team to receive Leon.

There were no unnecessary pleasantries. The two had been acquaintances for a long time. Moreover, Andrea was Amy's sister. The relationship between the two was a little closer than the relationship between an employee and the boss.

Sitting on the main seat of the interview table, Andrea brought a cup of coffee and said softly:

"Leon, can the interview begin?"

Leon took the coffee, smiled at her kindly, and said:

"This is your territory, Andrea. It's all up to you. I'm just here to take a look."

Andrea heard this and smiled back at him, and soon, under her arrangement, the interview began.

Two heavily armed patrol guards led more than 20 survivors into the conference room.

Under the guidance of other staff, they lined up in a long line, received the documents that needed to be filled in, and began the formal interview.

Sitting on the main seat, Leon glanced at the survivors, but saw a few familiar figures, the tall and burly black man Hammer, his sister, the little black girl Sasha with an afro, and In the original TV series, the couple who accompanied him to the prison and Woodbury were chatting with their son.

However, unlike in the TV series, his wife was not bitten by the zombies this time and was still alive and well.

Leon continued to watch with a kind smile, not disturbing the interview process, but just thinking about this matter in his heart. Calculating the time, Hammer God and his sister did find the prison at about this time.

It seems that although their umbrella company has done many things in the area around Atlanta, it still has not affected what was supposed to happen.

Thinking of this, looking at the Hammer God brothers and sisters, Leon thought of another group of people who had a tragic ending.

That is, the survivors at the terminal not too far from the prison stronghold.

In my memory, that group of people was originally a good person, but in the process of doing good deeds, they encountered a group of scumbags and predators, and then suffered a lot of abuse and violations, and finally changed from sheep to butchers, and became cannibals.

Judging from the current time, there should be hope of salvation.

Keeping this in mind, Leon visited the entire interview process, and the result was not bad.

It is now the 10th month of the apocalypse. The survivors who have survived to this day are all people who are extremely eager to join a powerful organization. After 10 months of suffering, everyone has more or less something on their hands. The blood of humans or zombies is no longer considered a rookie.

There are 25 survivors in this group sent from the prison stronghold. After hearing about the welfare benefits of the Umbrella Company, except for some women and children with no skills who can only become members of the logistics department, all other adults want to join. Engineering or Security to get a better life.

However, only four of these people can join the engineering department as technical staff, a university physics teacher, a doctor, a senior fisherman and a senior chef.

Among the four technicians, the fisherman and chef were the ones that attracted Lyon's attention the most. The senior fisherman understood it well. After all, in addition to growing food, fishing was also an important way to obtain food.The senior chef who claims to be a Michelin three-star hotel will become his personal chef after the probation period.

In today's world, food has become one of Lyon's biggest hobbies and enjoyments. He will live here for a long, long time and cannot treat himself badly.

Except for these technicians, women and children, I didn't expect that among the remaining dozen adults, except for three or four who were relatively weak in character, everyone else wanted to join the Security Department and get the high salary and benefits.

This is not what Leon expected. As the end of the world begins, the survivors gradually become more and more familiar with battles and searches. They have all realized the preciousness of food, medicine, guns and other materials, and are gradually willing to Take risks to get more supplies.

However, the Ministry of Security has been streamlined and reformed a few months ago. After eliminating some ordinary people who only have courage but no fighting talent, the recruitment conditions have become increasingly strict.

Not only do they have to pass a lot of physical and skill assessments, but even if they join the Security Department, they also need to go through a probation period of up to three months. Once they fail the probation period, they will be returned to the Logistics Department and become a laborer. .

But at the same time, this also opens up the scope of recruitment to a certain extent, because now, as long as employees of the umbrella company, after hard work and training, can pass the assessment of the Security Department, regardless of race, gender, or age , can choose to join here and become a glorious warrior.

Even if they fail to pass the assessment once or twice, as long as they are willing to work hard and try, they will have countless opportunities to take the assessment.

Time passes by, and after the interview, these employees have to go through a series of chores such as training, visits, housing assignments, and learning rules and regulations.

As the big boss, Lyon never asked about such trivial matters. Seeing that there was more than an hour before lunch time, he thought about it and came to the training ground in a corner of the square outside the base.

This is the armed machinery training class run by Sherman and Peggy.

Young people with flexible minds and good at operating electronic equipment are selected from all employees.

But obviously, military drones are not that easy to control. Looking at the crooked and flying machines in the sky, Leon warned himself that everything requires enough patience.

Judging from the wars during this period, these drones and armed mechanical dogs are indeed very practical tactical weapons. They integrate various functions such as reconnaissance, exploration, combat, and luring the enemy into one, and can maximize the Reduce the damage of soldiers.

Therefore, Lyon not only fulfilled his previous promise and asked Sherman to organize an armed machinery training class, but also specially established a special research group in the Engineering Department to be responsible for improving and manufacturing these practical armed machinery.

Not only that, he also gave Colonel William and Kewela a fatal order, ordering them to take time to establish a tank control training class and a helicopter driving training class.

Must train more than 5 drivers for the umbrella company within half a year.

After the Battle of the Senas Nuclear Power Plant, Lyon became more and more aware of the importance of weapons and equipment. He began to actively collect information on military warehouses or similar facilities in all surrounding areas, and issued a high reward within the company. make.

Anyone who can provide effective information in this regard will receive a huge reward.

This reward order even caused a wave of search for military bases within the company. Unfortunately, it has been a long time and no one has provided any truly effective information.

He once asked Colonel William for news in this regard, but unfortunately, before the disaster, Colonel William had been stationed on foreign soil. Although he had accumulated considerable practical experience, he knew very little about domestic intelligence.

In this way, the matter was gradually delayed.

Peggy, who was debugging the computer, noticed Leon's arrival, immediately put down her work, and came to his side with brisk steps.

"Boss, you're here!"

The girl showed a sweet smile and looked at him with watery eyes, like a puppy trying to please its owner.

Leon raised his hand and touched her short blond hair, and asked softly:
"How is it? Do these students learn quickly?"

Paige squinted her eyes and seemed to enjoy Leon touching her hair. She bit her lower lip and said:

"Those guys are stupid, even stupider than Sherman. If you want them to be able to skillfully control drones and armed mechanical dogs, they need at least two months of training."

The girl showed an expression of flattery and wanting to be praised, and said to Leon:
"My brother and I learned how to control them in just one week."

Leon praised her quite sensibly.

"Of course, you and your brother are both talented people. You have helped me a lot."

After receiving his praise, Paige showed a satisfied smile. She reached out and grabbed Leon's palm, her cheeks flushed, and she asked softly:
"Boss, can I see you tonight? I haven't been with you for a week and I miss you."

Leon looked at the girl's innocent and lovely face.

But as a self-disciplined person, he licked his lips and said with some difficulty:

"In a few days, I've been busy lately, so I'll take the initiative to find you then."

A trace of disappointment flashed in Paige's blue eyes, but she immediately showed a sweet smile and said:
"Okay, boss, I'll wait for you."

After a brief conversation, Peggy took Leon to visit the entire training ground carefully and introduced the young students to him.

However, Leon discovered an interesting phenomenon. All the students in this training ground, including Sherman, would subconsciously appear a little afraid when facing Peggy.

It seems that in front of him, Peggy is a sweet, strong and lovely girl, but in front of others, maybe Peggy is not as gentle and cute as she appears now.

Speaking of which, maybe it was Leon who cut off Peggy's left arm in the shelter of the Polytechnic University and saved the girl's life, so she has always had a wonderful affection for herself.

After visiting the armed machinery training ground, Leon accompanied Peggy and his brother and sister to have lunch together. After cultivating some feelings with his capable subordinates, Leon returned to his office.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Maggie, a farm girl wearing suspenders and a gray linen shirt, enjoying the desserts on the table with Amy, talking and laughing.
