Chapter 34: Chapter 34 Dangerous Mission
On the evening of July 7, Daryl's team returned victorious. They used a sneak attack to kill the leader of the wandering raiders in an instant, quickly controlled the scene, and brought back five survivors and three prisoners.
Not surprisingly, these survivors are willing to join Umbrella Corporation and accept asylum.
Lyon got a D-level winemaker and 4 logistics staff.
That night, at dinner time, Leon summoned his strongest warriors, Moore, Daryl, Glenn, Aggie, T, and Sean, to his reception room to share dinner. Also sitting at the same table was Professor Amlin.
Originally, Rick should have been included, or that person he almost forgot about and sent people to search for, the Black Madonna Morgan.
But because the former had not yet recovered from his injury, and the latter had not chosen to join the security department and was not familiar to everyone, he gave up on them both.
"I called everyone here this time because there is a very important task that requires everyone to complete together."
Leon picked up a glass of red wine, saluted slightly to everyone, then raised his head and drank it all in one gulp. Amy, who was sitting next to him, picked up a napkin and wiped the stains on his mouth obediently.
He pointed to Professor Amlin, who was sitting in the first seat on the right, and introduced him to everyone:
"This is Professor Amlin, a university professor at Georgia Tech."
"He provided me with very important intelligence. There is an emergency shelter system at Georgia Institute of Technology. Professor Amlin speculated that there is a high probability that there are a large number of survivors there."
"It's been nearly two months. They can't survive in there much longer."
"These survivors are likely to be top students or professors from polytechnics."
"Our production, life, scientific and technological recovery, and virus research all require these elites with rich professional knowledge in order to develop more rapidly."
"If we can rescue these survivors, it will undoubtedly be of great help to our cause."
"We need them."
"This time our destination is in the university district of Atlanta. It's surrounded by zombies, the roads are blocked, and cars can't pass through. We need to walk about 5 kilometers to get there."
"The mission is extremely dangerous. Too many people would only get in the way. I only need elite warriors like you."
Professor Amlin's face was full of excitement. For the continuation of human civilization and for his former colleagues and students, he was willing to take risks. He urged Lyon many times for this action, and it was finally put on the agenda today.
Old Moore looked indifferent, and probably didn't care about the lives of these students and professors at all.
Daryl remained silent, staring at the dagger in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
Glenn's face showed both recognition of the mission and fear of the dangerous task.
Tzai and Aji both had confused looks on their faces. The two black guys with low education probably didn't understand the weight of Leon's words.
Sean, who was sitting at the very end, had a solemn look on his face, and his expression was changing and the most complicated.
Taking in everyone's expressions, Leon coughed lightly and continued:
"Of course, I won't force you to participate in this dangerous mission. Everyone can choose to accept it or not."
"But the completion of this mission will have a significant impact on everyone's evaluation of me."
"Those who are unable to take risks bravely for the sake of humanity are not worthy of being in the management of Umbrella Corporation."
As soon as Leon finished speaking, Old Moore said in a very flattering manner:
"Boss, please rest assured. No matter how dangerous the road ahead is, I, Old Moore, will be the first to fight my way out for you."
After saying this, the old bastard continued a little embarrassedly:
"However, since this is a dangerous mission, could you give us a little more bonus, boss? I've been treating my guys to drinks and meals lately, and my contribution points are running out."
Being blackmailed by his top thug, Leon laughed nonchalantly and said to everyone:
"Okay, after completing this mission, each of you will receive a reward of 5,000 contribution points."
He looked at Old Moore, and said with a smile of approval:
"More, you can also get a box of fine wine as a reward."
The old scoundrel smiled in a very flattering manner and shouted to Leon:
"Thank you, boss. You are such a generous boss."
Once someone takes the lead, others will follow suit and begin to express their opinions.
Daryl patted his brother's shoulder and said to Leon with a firm look:
"Boss, I'll go with you."
Glenn glanced around, took a deep breath, and said:
"Boss, I've delivered pizza to Georgia Tech before. How about letting me go there first to scout out the route and then we can go together?"
Leon didn't answer, but looked at Aji and Tzai.
The two black men looked at each other and said loudly:
"Boss, I'll go with you guys."
Leon smiled and nodded to both of them, then finally looked at Sean who had a complicated expression.
This man is an egoist with strong fighting ability. He has been in the security department for half a month, but his attitude has always been somewhat negative, and he doesn't seem to get along well with others.
Sean looked up at Leon, and seemed to think of Lori's matter again. His face turned bitter, and he lowered his head and said:
"Boss, I'm willing to go too."
Seeing that everyone had expressed their opinions, Leon smiled, raised another glass of red wine, saluted everyone slightly, and said:
"This is a dangerous mission, but also an honorable one. Our purpose is to save other people's lives. Therefore, everyone present here is a warrior worthy of admiration."
"Then, warriors, enjoy this sumptuous dinner."
He drank the red wine in the glass, threw it on the ground, and shouted:
"Respect, courage!"
The others followed suit, raised their glasses, drank them all, threw them on the ground, and echoed in unison:
"Respect, courage!" ×8
————
July 8, Atlanta.
A convoy of more than a dozen modified cars entered the city along Interstate 85 and stopped in a small park on the outskirts of Atlanta's university district.
As the passengers got off the bus one after another, an armed group of about 40 people gathered in the small park.
Although the weapon models were different, each person received a brand new automatic rifle and three full magazines.
The vehicles in the convoy include military trucks, heavy jeeps, and heavy pickup trucks. They have all been modified by the auto mechanics in the base. Not only are many parts covered with bulletproof steel plates, but the front of the vehicles are also reinforced with alloy horns that can withstand stronger impacts.
These are cars that were truly suitable for doomsday survival after discussions and research by the engineering department. Not only are they not easily damaged, they also have stronger protection. In open terrain, their lethality to zombies is no weaker than heavy firepower.
Not only that, four heavy rotary machine guns dismantled from armed helicopters were also welded to the military trucks. These heavy firepower are real battlefield killing weapons. Once they open fire, any flesh and blood body standing in their way will be turned into debris.
For this mission, Lyon almost emptied out half of his family's assets just to ensure the safety of his employees.
In the doomsday era, what he values most is not the materials that can be plundered, but these loyal and irreplaceable subordinates.
Following the arrangements of their respective team leaders, more than ten minutes later, a defensive position against zombies gradually took shape.
Leon stood at the periphery of the position, followed by seven fully armed warriors who were ready to accompany him to brave the horde of millions of zombies. He patted Rick's shoulder and said solemnly:
"I'll leave this position to you, Rick."
"Hold it and be ready to receive our returning team at any time."
Rick, with bandages all over his body and a pale face, held down Leon's hand on his shoulder and said with some shame:
"You are my savior, Leon. I should have gone with you."
"well!"
"Please rest assured, I will use my life to protect the safety of this place and wait for your orders at any time."
