The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 96 Market
Kewela's mood adjusted quickly. Within 10 minutes of crying in Lyon's arms, he returned to his usual slightly arrogant and elite temperament.

After listening to her story, Leon learned that Clementine's parents and her parents were business partners and real friends. They had met Kevira four or five years ago when she was still in high school. Clementine, but the little girl grew up so fast that she didn’t recognize her when they first met.

When the two were chatting, they unconsciously talked about their relatives and parents, which caused the red-haired girl to lose control of her emotions.

Little Clementine was very strong. Although she shed tears, she told Lyon that her parents went to Savannah for a trip before the disaster. The middle-aged black man Li had been protecting her for more than six months and promised to take her with him. She went to Savannah to find her parents.

Leon thought about it, it seemed to be the plot, but in the process of searching for their parents, they encountered many survivors along the way, and those survivors, including middle-aged black Li, basically died at the hands of zombies .

So, he touched Clementine's little head and said to Kevira:

"Tomorrow we will go to the market outside Troy to investigate the information there. If there is enough time, we will take some time to take little Clementine to Sanofan to have a look."

Savannah is a tourist town near the coast of Georgia. It’s not too far away from here, only about 150 kilometers away. If Kewela flies a helicopter there, it probably won’t even take a day to get there.

Kevira held little Clementine in his arms and said nonchalantly:

"I have no problem, but do you have time to go?"

Leon scratched his chin and said uncertainly:
"I should have time. I just want to go to the beach. Maybe the coastal area is more suitable for our survival!"

On the second day, although it was certain that the market maintained by the Troy Mutual Aid Association was safe, Leon still brought more than 40 elite guards, as well as Kevira, Peggy, Daryl, and Andre. Ya and Anya and his wife who were responsible for leading the way set off together.

They drove a dozen armored vehicles to the village called Dram, near the market outside the village.

The Troy Mutual Aid Association chose an abandoned outdoor parking lot as the venue for the market. The red metal roof can protect it from wind and rain. Except for the entrance and exit, the area is surrounded by a simple protective wall made of blue iron sheets.

After Lyon brought people in, he found that the parking lot was very spacious and very lively. Looking at it, at least 600 people were setting up stalls and conducting transactions in this gathering.

Most of these people were dressed in old-fashioned clothes and looked slovenly. When buying and selling things, they shouted at each other loudly, as if they were quarreling.

Some people sit on the ground, like setting up street stalls, spreading a rag in front of themselves and placing the items for sale on it.

Some people built a few tables and put them together into a booth to sell their own things.

There are also some people who are more upscale. They took a lot of wooden boards, raincloths and other garbage to build an independent space similar to a small shop, and even hung the name of the shop on the roof.

But as Lyon and other people entered, the atmosphere in the parking lot became quiet. Although these people in the gathering were not the same group, they had been together for more than half a year, and they might not be able to call each other by name. , but there will always be some familiar faces and mutual acquaintances.

And people like Lyon and the others, who were dressed neatly and protected by dozens of strong men wearing high-end standard equipment and looking like soldiers, did not look like the people they knew at first glance.

As soon as they walked in for more than ten meters, Leon saw a heroic woman in her 30s holding an assault rifle in her hand and wearing a black leather jacket and blue jeans. She walked over with a serious face, followed by Qi Ba. A survivor with a weapon.

The woman walked up to Leon and the others, looked around covertly, looked at the tall, burly, handsome man with outstanding temperament who was surrounded by the crowd, and asked in a serious voice:
"Sir, may I ask what your purpose is in coming to the exchange of the Troy Mutual Aid Association?"

Leon showed a kind and charming male smile and said:
"This lady, my name is Leon Custer. My team and I passed by Troy Jun by chance and learned about this exchange from several survivors."

"So, I asked them to bring my people over to see if we can trade what we need from here."

Leon looked into the woman's eyes and asked politely:
"I heard that as long as there is no armed conflict here, this exchange welcomes all survivors. Is it true?"

The woman in her 30s was silent for a few seconds and then said:
"I am McKenna, the militia captain of the Troy Mutual Aid Association. Our fair does welcome all kind-hearted survivors."

"However, Mr. Custer, since this is your first time here, let me serve as your guide and accompany you in the transaction, okay?"

The corners of Leon's mouth curled up and he said:
"Of course. I just have some questions to ask you, Ms. McKenna."

Although the captain of the McKenna militia was full of vigilance, Leon did not have any bad intentions in his heart. The two of them walked at the front of the team and chatted while walking. As long as it did not involve secret content, Leon generously told the truth. answer, and his honesty earned Ms. McKenna some trust.Through the conversation between the two parties, he learned a lot of information. This woman was originally a native of Troy County, and she was also a county police sergeant in the town. After the disaster broke out, she immediately organized people and took several county police and Several prestigious elites united the survivors in the town and fled to the Fort Benning military base.

After the civil strife broke out at Benningbao Military Base, this group of people also united closely and successfully escaped from that purgatory.

After a group of several hundred people escaped from Fort Benning, after some deliberations and with the intelligence support of the local residents of Dram, they cleared away the zombies nearby and successfully occupied this agricultural village called Dram.

After more than half a year of hard work, everyone has gradually adapted to life in the apocalypse and found their own place. They do not want outsiders to destroy this hard-won peaceful life.

This piece of information that seemed both sincere and threatening made Leon secretly shake his head. In the apocalyptic world, you can't be as stable as you want. You can sail against the current and retreat if you don't advance. Unless you are big enough, otherwise What awaits you is the fate of being annexed by other organizations.

However, since the Trojan Mutual Aid Association wants to live a stable life, Leon will not provoke them for the time being. At least before occupying the military base, it is best not to add unexpected enemies.

Accompanied by McKenna, the group walked around the entire market under the curious or fearful eyes of other survivors. Several girls traded bullets and selected some items that suited their needs.

In fact, there is nothing too good. Except for various daily necessities, canned snacks, and clothing decorations, most of them are weird little things, such as cameras, radios, telescopes, remote control cars, etc.

However, the wealthy umbrella company does not lack these rags at all, and what surprises Lyon is that there are many relatively scarce talents in this market. They use their skills to exchange for food and necessary supplies, such as doctors and haircuts. He was very pleased that there were so many talents including engineers, dentists, blacksmiths, tailors, and even chemical industry bosses who made bombs by hand, military talents who made guns and bullets by hand.

After visiting the market, Leon suddenly asked McKenna:

"Ms. McKenna, can we have a stall here too?"

McKenna was silent, looked at Leon with her sharp eyes for seven or eight seconds, and then said:
"As long as you abide by the order here and do not use force to intimidate or threaten to harm others, we will treat you equally."

Leon nodded with a smile and said sincerely:

"Don't worry, Ms. McKenna, we are all kind-hearted survivors. We save far more people than we kill."

After saying that, he ignored McKenna, who looked a little ugly, but turned to Andrea and said:

"Andrea, I need you to set up a temporary recruitment center for the umbrella company in this exchange."

"Responsible for recruiting all interested survivors here, I will send people to build a temporary stronghold for you near here, and send Captain Moore and fifty elite soldiers to protect your safety."

He looked at Andrea and said:
"You don't have to worry about other things. If you have any questions, you can report to me. Your task is to recruit as many talents as possible for the umbrella company."

Andrea nodded seriously and said:
"I understand, Mr. Custer."

"I will try to complete as many tasks as possible."

After completing the task given to Amy's sister, Leon turned around and said to McKenna:

"Ma'am, our organization, the Umbrella Company, is a positive organization that is upright, just, and full of order."

"We welcome any kind-hearted survivors and organizations to cooperate with us."

"After you get to know us well enough, maybe we can become allies."

Leon showed a faint smile.

"Of course, our organization has thousands of people, is powerful, has the standard equipment of a regular army, and will not be afraid of any enemy's challenge."

"It turns out that any predator who attempts to be our enemy has been sent to hell by us."
