The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 99 Injured
After listening to Peggy's report, Leon paused. He patted the girl on the head, and then continued walking and said:
"Tell Andrea to hold them back first. I don't have time to deal with these small things at the moment. In about a week, we will meet with the people from the Troy Mutual Aid Association."

Paige nodded, played a video in her notebook to Leon, and then said:

"Boss, that Captain Frank you asked me to monitor all the time, there seems to be another battle in their outpost today."

Leon was a little confused. After watching the video, he found that he had not relaxed his surveillance of Frank. It stands to reason that the day after Iron Wolf Frank returned, they should have succeeded in seizing power. How could there be another battle?

"Have you noticed what's going on inside them? Is Iron Wolf Frank dead?"

Peggy shook her head and said:

"The scouts there are too defensive. Our reconnaissance drone cannot get too close. The observation is not very clear."

"However, Captain Frank seems to have only been slightly injured, and his troops did not suffer too many casualties."

He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Frank was not dead and could still control the situation, there was nothing to worry about.

Leon smiled softly. Since the acquisition of reconnaissance drones, the Peggy siblings have taken on almost all reconnaissance and intelligence work. They have an irreplaceable position. He held Peggy's hand and asked:
"It's okay, don't worry about him. Is dinner ready? I'm already hungry."

Paige narrowed her eyes with a smile and said happily:
"Ms. Andrea sent some chickens and a lamb. I'm preparing to cook roasted chicken and lamb chops. I'm just waiting for you boss to come back."

It had been a long time since I had eaten fresh ingredients. Leon admitted that he was a little greedy. He left the cute little Clementine and Old Li to have dinner together, and ordered the newly found Jasmine and other survivors to arrange for Lily. Staying temporarily with Kenny and the others without doing anything else, Leon and the others enjoyed a rare delicacy again.

That night, the red-haired girl Kevera accompanied Leon and Paige to play a pleasant three-person game all night, and then drove home the next day in a Black Hawk helicopter given to her by Leon.

Before leaving, Leon asked her if she wanted to take Clementine back with her. As a result, the red-haired girl shook her head and said lightly:
"She and I can only be regarded as acquaintances in the final analysis. The middle-aged black man named Li is the relative who really cares about her. Let the two of them live together."

Since Kewela said so, Leon did not force it. The next day, he also began to officially start the task of clearing the zombies from the Fort Benning military base.

Currently, in the entire military base, in addition to the commercial and residential areas and the main Fort Benning fortress group, there are also some individual buildings and public buildings such as gardens, exhibition halls and libraries.

However, when the disaster occurred, there were not many people inside these public buildings. Leon divided two teams and asked the brothers Daryl and Moore to lead people for half a day to clear out all the zombies in these buildings. , not many in number, probably more than 2000 zombies were cleared.

Counting the 20 that were initially cleared, there are probably about 10 zombies left in the entire base, all of which are distributed in the Fort Benning fortress, the residential area, and the residential commercial center.

If the residential areas and commercial areas are left alone for the time being, it means that their mission this time will have to deal with about [-] to [-] zombies.

And according to Iron Wolf Frank's information, the Fort Benning military base is roughly divided into three floors above ground and five floors underground. Most of the zombies inside are various staff members of the original base.

At the beginning of the disaster, because the environment inside was too complicated and there were too many zombies inside, the surviving soldiers and officers gave up the idea of ​​cleaning up the zombies in the ground buildings of the fortress, and they went through another secret survival passage. Entered the underground base, opened some warehouses, and obtained some weapons and equipment.

However, those officers and soldiers who knew about this secret passage have long since died. They can neither find the location of the secret passage nor how to open it. If they want to enter the underground shelter, they can only choose to go from the above-ground building. Layer by layer, frontal breakthrough.

Leon thought about Frank's intelligence. The environment inside the fortress was too complicated and there were too many zombies. In this case, it would be more dangerous to fight head-on.

After much thought, he realized that he still had to rely on the method of luring the snake out of its hole and solving part of it first.

Soon, an idea appeared in his mind.

He immediately notified more than 100 logistics personnel in the canning factory, as well as the combat team of the Moldaril brothers, and took the local survivors, the Lia couple, to the town of Troy to find a large number of steel pipes and steel plates, and transported them Come to the entrance of Benling Keep.

He wants to build a defense here that can deal with the zombies in the building without harm.

Time passed quickly, and Lyon's team was busy in the dark at the gate of the fortress. The zombies in the fortress heard the sound and kept hitting the strong gate of the fortress, wanting to run out to have a feast.

Two days later, when Iron Wolf Frank led his troops to the Fort Benning Fortress, he immediately discovered the huge device at the entrance of the fortress.

A metal passage four to five meters wide and three to four meters high, with a steel plate at the bottom and many steel pipes welded horizontally and vertically, like an iron cage, extended from the gate of the fortress to a place of more than 100 meters.

He walked to Leon's side with squinted eyes and asked in a hoarse voice:

"Is this what you thought of?"

"Lure the zombies inside into this 100-meter iron cage and kill them?"

Lyon looked at Frank with a smile, and explained with some pride:

"How about it? It's safe and practical."

"However, it's not that simple. I set up a gate that can be pulled up and down every 20 meters. Even if a certain part is damaged, we can cut off the passage of this part in time, and then the workers will repair it." "When After we closed the first gate, the zombies in the fortress were blocked by us and could not rush out. We could directly drive a pickup truck in and remove all the corpses inside without affecting the subsequent work. .”

"With such a passage, we can let in thousands of zombies at a time. Whether we use guns or bayonets, we can easily deal with them without having to fight those monsters directly."

"You only need to repeat it twenty or thirty times to basically clear out the zombies inside the fortress."

He patted Frank on the shoulder and was about to say something when he suddenly saw some traces of blood seeping out of Frank's abdomen. He frowned and asked:

"Why are you injured? Were you shot in the abdomen?"

When Frank the Iron Wolf heard this, he pulled up his military uniform with an expressionless face, revealing his belly full of muscles. His lower ribs were wrapped in a thick bandage, and a ball of bright red blood was flowing through the wound, from the bandage. It slowly seeped out.

Leon frowned and asked speechlessly:

"You haven't even had any sutures. Don't you have a military doctor in your team?"

Frank remained calm and said directly to Leon:
"I tried to burn it with a red-hot dagger, but the wound was a bit big and opened again. I killed the military doctor in the team. He was actually a die-hard loyalist of the previous leader and colluded with some people the day before yesterday. , trying to assassinate me."

"Is there a doctor in your camp now?"

Leon shrugged, took a medical bag from the considerate Peggy, pointed to a recliner on the side and said:
"I am the doctor. You go and lie down there, and I will stitch it up for you, so that you will not have to wait until you see your sister and you will have lost too much blood and go to see God."

Iron Wolf Frank glanced at Leon in surprise. He always thought that this handsome man who looked very powerful was a special forces soldier or an officer, but he didn't expect that he was actually a doctor who sounded gentle and gentle.

Frank cooperated very well and lay down on a recliner. It only took Leon a few minutes to help Frank suture the wound, and then continued to tell him the battle plan.

"The tasks of killing zombies and moving zombies can be left to my people."

"But this plan still requires some people to perform more dangerous tasks."

"This is your request, so your people are needed to carry out this task."

Frank glanced at Leon expressionlessly, narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

"What mission?"

Leon patted him on the shoulder and said:

"Don't worry, although it is a little bit dangerous, there is no need to directly fight the zombies."

"I need you to use flesh and blood disguises to enter the fortress and control and guide the number of zombies coming out each time by controlling the door or passage door."

"You don't need to do the task of baiting. I will use armed mechanical dogs to lure out the mobile zombies."

Frank thought about the plan for a few minutes, then looked him in the eyes and said:
"I will carry out your plan and hope you don't let us down."

But Leon shook his head, held down Frank who was about to stand up, and reminded him.

"You can't carry out this task yourself. The zombies have a very sensitive sense of smell, and the smell of blood on your body may not be able to hide it from them."

Iron Wolf Frank looked at the wound on his body, considered for dozens of seconds, and finally said to Leon:

"No, you have to find a way to cover up my smell."

"I promised my soldiers that no matter how dangerous the mission is, I will take the lead and carry it out with them."

"I will not break my promise."

Leon felt a little complicated when he heard this. He didn't expect that Captain Iron Wolf would actually keep his promise and be so brave.

He sighed and said:
"Let me help you think of a solution, but you must not engage in strenuous exercise. If the wound is opened, the smell of blood will be revealed uncontrollably."

"You will definitely be discovered by the zombies."
