Chapter 112 Winter Fast Forward
Chapter 112 Winter Fast Forward
To the north of Grand Town, between Grand Town and Atlanta, there is a larger city, Newnan.
Although not as big as Atlanta and Macon, Newnan is dozens of times larger than the surrounding town of Gran, and has far more abundant facilities and resources.
Zhang Qiang had been coveting Newnan when he attacked the town of Corinth. In his opinion, Newnan had a low population density, which meant that the density of zombies would not be too high. The resources in Newnan would be gradually eaten away, and the Destiny Army would reap huge rewards.
The points on the panel are now divided into points, which are the credit of all the soldiers who cleared out the zombies along the way when occupying the third factory.
Zhang Qiang plans to directly deploy more than 70 soldiers to make up for the average shortage of manpower in various locations of the school.
Zhang Qiang did not deploy these people slowly in the school. Instead, he chose to deploy all 70 people at once in the agricultural company in Collins Town and handed over the command to Price.
Zhang Qiang didn't have the energy to make specific arrangements for the group's eating, drinking, and defecation. There were too many people showing up at once, and even if the people in the school were dumb and could suppress their curiosity, they would start asking Zhang Qiang questions.
Except for the agricultural company, other areas of Collins Town have not been swept by the Destiny Army. Zhang Qiang's task to Price is to lead 70 newcomers to occupy Collins Town. They will be self-sufficient in the resources, but gasoline must be sent to Macon City first to transport construction materials.
The task of plundering gasoline was outsourced to Task Force 141, and their mission was not limited to Corinth. After clearing Corinth, the city of Newnan was the real big deal.
Zhang Qiang demanded that all gasoline storage points in Newnan be plundered to support the school.
The reason why all strategies are now centered on Gran Town is because Gran Town has two major farming bases, one is Green Farm and the other is the park.
The crop planting in these two places was the result of workers spending a lot of time and effort to lay the foundation. St. John Farm in Macon and Collins Agricultural Company cannot compare with them at all now.
Price asked Zhang Qiang for a large number of guns and ammunition, which was considered as formally accepting the 70-man team. With him and the other 141 members, the Collins Town team now has 74 fully armed professional soldiers, which is enough to clear the zombies in the entire town.
After proper staff distribution and planning, the construction of the school soon ushered in healthy development. Five-meter-high iron fences are under construction. Behind these seemingly weak walls, one-meter-high HESCO explosion-proof sandbags are piled up, and each sandbag is poured with 4 tons of cement.
Half of the winter days had quickly passed, and the school was surrounded by iron walls on all sides, even expanding its area significantly. A truly impregnable base after the disaster was hastily completed.
At this time, it had been nearly two months since Sean was taken away by Morgan. During this period, Rick applied many times to take soldiers out to look for Sean, but was rejected by Zhang Qiang.
This made Rick very frustrated, but he did not lose confidence. He believed that Morgan would not easily kill Sean without any grudge against him, and Sean must still be alive.
At a recent meeting, Zhang Qiang gave Kate the right of veto. From now on, he will be a hands-off boss and no longer devote all his energy to the development of the school.
Leave professional matters to professionals. As the director of the CIA, Kate is only responsible for the strategic formulation of a town, which is more than enough for her.
After that, Zhang Qiang will invest in the development plan of the panel. There are still many continuous rewards on the panel that have not been unlocked. He decided to take only Sasha to the military bases around Atlanta to get in touch with the most advanced weapons and equipment of this era, in order to try to unlock the offensive continuous rewards.
Before that, Zhang Qiang decided to go to the town of Collins to inspect and see how Price and his soldiers were doing.
If Price does a good job, Zhang Qiang will follow suit every time he arrives at a new place and occupy new territory by sending troops on the spot.
In Collins Town, the agricultural company has been completely transformed into a barracks. The huge factory area can accommodate at least several hundred people, and shooting ranges and training facilities have been set up in different areas.
There are people coming and going in the factory area. The soldiers never leave their guns when they live and work. Among them, there are also many survivors who are not wearing uniforms.
This is a militia based in the town, recruited under the name of [Destiny United Survivors' Front]. There are about thirty people at present.
Price and Ghost are patrolling the factory area. The original barn cluster has been converted into a fuel storage area. They want to check if anyone is doing dangerous activities nearby, such as drinking and smoking...
The power system in the factory is more complete than that in the school. Thanks to the factory's large generator, most electrical equipment can now be used.
For example, Soap, this idle guy, is using the broadcast system to broadcast news:
"The commander-in-chief will come to inspect today! No one is allowed to smoke in the red zone, and everyone must stay at their posts and not go out without permission!"
"New militiamen! Learn what discipline is! Also, the commander-in-chief is very capable in combat. You can practice with him later!"
Soap thought that he must find something for Zhang Qiang to do.
Soon, a pickup truck drove over from far outside the factory. The militiaman on guard immediately blew the whistle and called Gary who was responsible for welcoming it.
A group of soldiers quickly opened the gate, ran out in an orderly manner, and stood in line on both sides of the gate.
Sasha slowed down the pickup truck and looked at Zhang Qiang with a helpless look: "Is it necessary to make such a big fuss?"
Zhang Qiang was stunned for a moment, then counted the people on both sides of the road and found that there were about thirty people.
"I didn't ask for this! Stop the car!"
The pickup truck stopped on the road outside the factory. As soon as Zhang Qiang and Sasha stepped onto the smooth and shiny cement road in the factory, the soldiers on both sides shouted deafeningly:
"The living must be strong!!! The dead must perish!!"
"The Destiny Position!!! Long live the union!!"
Two neat slogans were suddenly shouted out. The sound of the soldiers shouting from their chests made Zhang Qiang open his eyes wide in surprise.
When did the 74-man team of the Destiny Army come up with this? ! If you think about it carefully, this slogan has some meaning.
However, it was his first time to experience this kind of scene, and Zhang Qiang felt a dense layer of goose bumps all over his body. He was so embarrassed that his toes almost scratched the soles of his shoes.
"Ahem, thank you for your hard work."
Zhang Qiang pretended to be calm and walked at a constant speed between the two teams, nodding to them.
Inside the factory, several militiamen hid in the blind spot at the door and discussed:
“Those veterans are so serious!”
"The commander-in-chief is that yellow-skinned guy?! Was he some big shot before the disaster? How can he make the veterans listen to him?!"
"I heard that we are just one of his strongholds..."
After Zhang Qiang brought Sasha into the factory, the welcoming team stopped shouting slogans. Gary led the team to run into the factory in an orderly manner and ordered the gate to be closed.
Seeing that the welcoming team seemed to have other tasks to do and was leaving through another road, Zhang Qiang breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these soldiers would do something outrageous again.
Zhang Qiang turned around and called Price on the intercom.
"Lao Deng, Lao Deng, do you get it? Tell me what's going on with this slogan?"
"Zizizi... Reporting to the Commander, I asked Scorpion, and he said that in your hometown, the leaders all like this set. I studied it with him. What do you think, Commander?"
"Very good, let's shout out the slogan like this in the future, it's quite interesting."
Zhang Qiang had to admit that this slogan was powerful, and he decided to give the Corinth stronghold some rewards.
After going to the fuel area to meet Price, Zhang Qiang and Lao Deng went to the factory building next door to smoke.
"Have Collins' supplies been almost collected?" Zhang Qiang asked.
"They have all been placed in the west factory building." Price closed his eyes and enjoyed his cigar. His spiritual food could only be supplied by Zhang Qiang.
"Do you need anything else?" Zhang Qiang asked directly.
This question seemed to lift Price's spirits. He opened his little eyes and asked very seriously:
"Can we ask Chef Liu from the school to come over for a few weeks and improve the food for everyone? These new recruits have been eating canned food and some cereals."
Chef Liu?
Zhang Qiang suddenly remembered the unlucky guy whose nose he cut off. He was silent for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Price's request.
It was just a small matter to transfer people using the walkie-talkie, and Liu Tingbao would soon be taken to the Corinth stronghold by the soldiers.
After making arrangements in front of Price, Zhang Qiang asked Lao Deng to take him to see the conditions in each factory.
Walking in the factory, Zhang Qiang's presence made the militiamen secretly look at him sideways. They were very curious about this top leader.
After checking all the factories where supplies were stored, Zhang Qiang said that firefighting work must be done well, and Price silently included collecting fire trucks in the task list.
The shooting range was set up in a vast field, surrounded by a circle of explosion-proof walls. Zhang Qiang glanced at the militiamen practicing shooting, left a message saying that they should practice more and there would be enough bullets, and then went to the factory building in the training area with Price.
The training area was equipped with many fitness equipment and several rings. When Zhang Qiang entered, he saw the militiamen doing physical exercises and some practicing unlimited fighting on the rings.
Price pointed to the center of the ring and said to Zhang Qiang: "The strong guy with long hair is called Wolfe. He is a good seedling."
Anyone who can be called a good candidate by 141 Legend Lao Deng undoubtedly has the potential to become a legend. Zhang Qiang cast his eyes over, and a long-haired strong man over meters tall on the ring seemed to sense it, and instantly turned his head to meet Zhang Qiang's eyes.
Wolfe had a light moustache. When he saw Price appear, he immediately separated from his opponent on the ring, and the two of them saluted Price and Zhang Qiang who were walking towards them.
"Hello, officers!!"
Wolfe didn't know Zhang Qiang's specific identity, but anyone who could walk and smoke with Price must be an important figure, so he didn't dare to be rude.
Price seemed to be very optimistic about Wolfe. He introduced Wolfe, "This is Zhang Qiang, the supreme commander of the Tianming Front."
"Hello, Commander Qiang!"
Wolfe was shocked. As a white man, he had a stereotype about yellow people. But Price was there, and after the shock, he was still very respectful.
Hearing the title "Commander-in-Chief Qiang", the corners of Zhang Qiang's mouth twitched involuntarily. Price at least knew the name format of Oriental people, so he called Zhang Qiang by his name directly, with the surname first and the given name last. This was a tradition of respecting Zhang Qiang's hometown.
But Wolfe seemed to have misunderstood something.
"Just call me Commander Zhang."
After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he began to take off his woolen coat. He had been hearing militiamen talking about him on the way, and it was necessary for him to show off his skills to these beautiful Chinese people who feared power but not morality.
"Sir, what do you want to...?" Wolf looked at Zhang Qiang in confusion.
Price glanced at Zhang Qiang and immediately understood what Commander Zhang wanted to do. He laughed and said, "The commander-in-chief wants to teach you some oriental fighting techniques."
Another militiaman standing on the ring looked at Zhang Qiang curiously, then jumped off the ring to make room for Zhang Qiang.
In his eyes, Wolfe was the best among the militia. His shooting and fighting skills were second to none, and even most veterans could not defeat Wolfe in the ring.
The militiamen were very curious about the fighting skills of the new commander-in-chief Zhang.
Soap, who had been secretly following Zhang Qiang and Price, saw that his little idea could be realized without any instigation, and immediately stood at the door of the factory and shouted to the outside:
