rebuilding in walking dead

Chapter 187: Chapter 187 Pirates



Kennedy Amusement Park.

Michonne put down the communicator in her hand, looked up at the slightly gloomy sky, turned to Jesus who was looking at her and said:

"Retreat temporarily and leave a reconnaissance team behind to gather intelligence here."

"The President told me that soon we will send an army of 2,000 people into the radiation zone to build a solid fortress."

"The cleanup of the radiation zone has officially begun."

"In the future, this will become the front line of the war."

"There can be no peace between the living and the dead. The war between our Human Union and the Corpse Speaker Empire is about to begin."

......

Federal camp, New York.

After a long journey of more than ten days, the human coalition army led by Rick, Sean and others finally arrived at the federal territory.

Seeing that the guide looked unhappy, Rick felt that things might not be as simple as the Federation had said.

To Rick and Sean, Glenn is actually their benefactor. If Glenn had not disregarded the danger and went to the quarry camp to invite Sean and Lori to join the Human Union, indirectly helping them, perhaps by now, the two would have already become ghosts in the doomsday.

A few minutes later, the plunderers on the dozen or so sailboats seemed to have discovered the human fleet that was rapidly approaching them.

"This is Salt Field Base No. 3, one of our federal sea salt drying bases."

While commanding the fleet to advance towards the plunderer's sailboat, Glenn ordered the cruise ship where Rick was to leave the fleet.

"Oh, yes. I had thought that the Federation, with nearly 30,000 members, would be a strong gathering place for the survivors to unite and help each other."

Although the SWAPO used small and medium-sized vessels such as cruise ships or fishing boats, which were smaller in size than the wooden sailboats they found from somewhere, it was extremely stupid for the wooden ships to challenge the modern metal ships.

Hearing this, Glenn asked curiously:

But whether they were overestimating their own capabilities or were very confident in their own strength, these dozen or so wooden sailboats actually rushed directly towards the fleet of the Human Union Organization.

However, the number of these raiders was large. Facing a small stronghold with only thirty or forty people, they dispatched nearly a hundred people. The combat effectiveness of the residents of the Federation was also very average, and many of them did not even have guns. When the two sides collided, the advantage of victory or defeat was quickly revealed.

Rick didn't answer immediately, but glared at Sean and said:

"Sean, we came here this time as guests to help the host fight."

After all, the ocean was too vast, and with the military force they brought, it was difficult to find the pirate ships in such a large area.

As representatives of the Human Rights Union, Rick and Sean also behaved very politely. This time, they were accompanied by Colonel Glenn from the military.

Sure enough, Ada's next words confirmed Rick's guess.

Even after their chests were pierced by sniper bullets, those looters would still stare at them with ferocious expressions, shouting something incoherently, as if the wounds on their chests had no effect on their lives at all.

The next day, the three did not stay in the federal camp for too long. Instead, they returned to where the Human Fleet was staying with the soldiers, taking a guide assigned to them by Governor General Pamela.

"The more detailed intelligence we have about them, the more helpful it will be to our strategy."

"No matter what, the Federation is now our Human Union's ally. Our mission this time is to help them deal with those sea raiders."

This strange phenomenon immediately caught Glenn's attention. His first thought was that the predators on the opposite side were not actually humans, but some kind of mutated monsters, just like zombies.

"Alas, I really hope that things here can be resolved peacefully. We humans have shed too much blood."

"We should be thankful that we live in the People's Union. Otherwise, with our former identities as county police and food deliverymen, we might have starved to death long ago."

"I saw hatred and anger in the eyes of those civilians."

Glenn also sighed and said sadly:

"We can send people to collect intelligence from within the Federation and then submit it to His Excellency the President."

And things really turned out just as they expected, perhaps because the Federation was too soft and easy to exploit.

Sean, who already knew Rick's upright character, blew out a smoke ring, turned to look at Glenn, and said:

"Hey, Glenn, you've seen the scenes along the way."

The female guide hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this, and finally said:

"I don't know much, but I heard that some of the survivors seemed to have gone crazy after surviving, and they kept talking nonsense all day long."

"Haha, those so-called elites at the banquet, those lawyers, politicians, wealthy people, and factory owners."

"No matter what they are like, we shouldn't vilify them."

In the next few days, in order to better take advantage of the surprise attack, Glenwick and others did not announce their arrival in a high-profile manner.

"They kept shouting, 'Bugs, bugs!' It seemed like they had seen some horrible scene."

She sighed and continued:

"But due to public pressure, we cannot tell the truth to our people."

"But since we are allies and you are here to deal with these despicable predators, we really shouldn't hide it."

Glenn, who had grown a short stubble, nodded worriedly. After all these years, his character was still very kind and he cared deeply about the lives of the survivors at the bottom of society.

"But in fact, when those marauders plunder our strongholds, how can they not fight with our residents?"

Through the telescope, they were even able to see the dozen or so dilapidated wooden sailboats that the raiders had parked on the coast.

However, the situation is urgent now. In order to save the federal residents in the stronghold, no one has the energy to pay attention to the battle video and they all rush to the scene of the battle as quickly as possible.

The federal residents in the stronghold were suppressed by the marauders outside. Although the two sides fought back and forth, the casualties on the marauders' side were almost negligible.

After a banquet where both the host and the guests had a great time, the three men declined the luxurious residence that the Federation wanted to provide them with and returned to the camp where the People's Alliance Army was stationed.

"Let us work together to kill these scums who should have died long ago."

After ten years of training, this young Korean-American has transformed from a pizza delivery boy into a qualified military commander.

As the host, the Federal Governor General Pamela warmly entertained them, held a banquet for them, and took them to visit many federal shops and facilities.

"They divided all citizens into two classes, based on their past occupations and status, and arbitrarily divided people into high citizens and low citizens."

Rick was silent for a few seconds and said:

"The residents here live like slaves. The old and the children are all skinny and listless from hunger. But the so-called high-ranking citizens wear gorgeous clothes, enjoy exquisite food, and proudly admire the suffering of the poor."

In this case, it would be better to wait and see in these places that are easy to be robbed. The chances of success may be greater.

In the picture, a group of looters with big beards, tattered clothes and various dirty clothes broke into the stronghold. They were holding various firearms, including pistols, submachine guns, shotguns, and civilian single-shot rifles. They did not look too sophisticated and could only be said to be at the level of ordinary looters.

There is no essential difference between them and those man-eating mutant monsters.

"Every time we get the news, the place where the crime happened is already deserted."

After a few more minutes, the distance between the two sides was close to about one thousand meters.

After all, the residents of the Federation are now their allies, and they cannot just focus on fighting and abandon the lives of those residents.

According to the existing intelligence, Rick and others learned from the guide named Ada that about every half a month, some strongholds along the federal coast would be looted by sea pirates.

Sean was speechless when he heard this, but suddenly he laughed happily and said:

"Hey, this is actually not bad. Maybe it won't be long before this so-called federation will riot due to internal conflicts and then collapse."

Sean, who was standing aside, also asked:

"Miss Ada, is there any other information you can tell us?"

You know, in this world today, except for Professor White in the Human League who has found the correct method to purify the fuel and allow modern ships to start, it is basically impossible for other forces to use fuel-powered ships.

"I didn't expect that the grading system implemented here is actually a system that should have been eliminated long ago."

"Could it be that those so-called rich people and politicians, these gentlemen who do nothing, are more valuable than a strong labor force in this apocalypse?"

Looking at the scene on the surveillance screen, Ada frowned and said:

"The reason why it's so difficult for us to find them is that they leave almost no one alive in every stronghold they plunder, and they don't even leave any corpses behind."

At least in the eyes of Rick and Sean, they could see that Ada must have military experience, was agile, and had good marksmanship.

Ada is an Asian woman in her thirties with a good figure. She was assigned by Governor General Pamela to serve as their guide, but she was certainly not an ordinary female employee.

He was ordered to lead several Stinger Squad soldiers on the cruise ship to the salt field stronghold where the battle took place and try to save the residents there.

After all, the Human Alliance soldiers are here to help them deal with the sea raiders. They can leave at any time before the mission is completed, so they must be served well.

If there wasn't a two-meter-high wall inside the stronghold that blocked the raiders' attacks to a large extent, these federal residents would not have been able to hold out for more than a few minutes and would have been defeated by the raiders outside.

But soon, Glenn discovered some strange phenomena, and his snipers said that the predators on the opposite side were very strange.

It is a wooden sailboat, which is only natural.

For many years, he has been stationed in a military fortress in Tennessee, defending the headquarters of the United Nations against enemies from the West. Now, times have changed, Glenn has married and had children, started his own family, and become a qualified father.

"Mr. Rick, in fact, these pirates are not running fast enough for our soldiers to chase them."

"Perhaps, these pirates have some unknown secrets."

"Seeing them with fat heads and big ears and greasy mouths, do you know what I thought of?"

Ten days have passed since the last robbery by these plunderers. According to convention, in just a few days, those despicable pirates will take action again.

"Ms. Ada, it's been such a long time. Haven't you ever fought against these predators?"

Rick and the others immediately frowned. Looting supplies and killing people are two different things. A plunderer who is capable of killing all human survivors can no longer be called a human being.

"You should also know that the more intelligence we know, the more beneficial it will be for our battle."

Sean lay on a soft leather sofa, took out a cigar from his pocket, took a puff of it comfortably, and said with some gloating:

"Rick, Glenn, you saw it too, right?"

However, since neither side's warships were engaged in naval warfare, there were no long-range torpedo or artillery attacks. Only a few sharpshooters on the side of the Human Rights League could use sniper rifles to attack the opposing predators.

Instead, they found a hidden port on the seashore and hid the Human Alliance's fleet inside it. They also stationed many combat engineers who operated reconnaissance drones near some federal strongholds along the coast. They used these high-tech devices that were difficult for ordinary people to detect to monitor those strongholds that were easy to be looted.

"By then, our Human Rights Federation will be able to obtain tens of thousands of free laborers."

"This place is like a powder keg. It only takes a little spark for their so-called high citizens and low citizens to start fighting each other until their brains are broken."

"As for what will happen in the future, it will all be decided by His Excellency the President."

Glenn also saw Ada's dilemma. Maybe the Federation did not want to hide this matter, but they did not have enough information and it was difficult to give wrong guidance.

"Mr. Glenn, although we have announced to the public, we have not had any direct conflict with this group of predators."

Fortunately, the location where the battle took place was not too far from where their fleet was hiding. In about ten minutes, the fleet of the Human Union Organization had approached there.

After eating and drinking, the three of them went to a private tent to discuss their ideas.

Although the snipers' hit rate was not high due to the turbulence on the sea, those snipers who hit the enemy clearly saw that the predators who were hit in the chest and abdomen by their sniper rifles did not die immediately like ordinary people.

"Thank you, Miss Ada. Please help us with all your strength next time."

"We only learned about these predators from the mouths of a few survivors who managed to hide."

These pirates from foreign countries never thought that there would be other enemies to deal with them. One morning a few days later, a stronghold monitored by a reconnaissance drone was looted by a group of pirates.

Facing Glenn's question, Ada thought for a moment and then said:

But soon, he rejected his idea. After all, the raiders on the opposite side came here on a sailboat. Could it be that the monsters nowadays are smart enough to drive a sailboat?

As the commander of the battle, Glenn immediately suppressed his surprise and continued to command his soldiers with a calm expression, saying:

"Prepare to turn. Don't get close to their ship for now. Don't engage in boarding battle with them."

"We must use our advantages in weapons and speed to deplete their strength."
