Chapter 173: Chapter 173 Dialogue
The conversation between the three people did not seem to elicit any reaction from Negan. This guy's disrespectful behavior caused a brief silence in the office.
Leon felt a little impatient. Now this guy was already the fat meat on his chopping board. He was just a prisoner. Could it be that he was really not afraid of death anymore?
Frowning slightly, he asked Dwight:
"Dwight, you've been in the Saviors for so long."
"I heard that they make a living through slavery and looting, wantonly killing other survivors, and have degenerated into inhuman scum."
"Do you think they are still normal people? Is there any value in living?"
After hearing the President's question, Dwight also realized what Leon was thinking. He suspected that his answer might affect the attitude of the Human League towards the Savior Army, and even affect the life and death of these people.
He hesitated slightly, thinking back to his experiences over the years, that humiliating, brutal, and disturbing life.
Dwight looked back at his wife Shirley and said:
"Mr. President, although it may be inappropriate to say this, I feel that the current Savior Army can no longer be called normal people."
"They can no longer even be called human beings. In my impression, many of them have lost themselves in violence, taking pleasure in plundering other people's lives and maintaining their own survival by exploiting others."
"All of them will have to pay for their crimes."
"As expected of the president of the People's United Organization, he has decided the fate of many people with such a casualness."
"Then it really shouldn't continue to exist."
Not only him, many families in the stronghold were in a sad mood.
As a stronghold adjacent to the radiation zone, the number of residents in the Virginia stronghold is not large compared to other strongholds. After all these years of development, their number is less than 500.
Both of them were the kind of women who didn't like to talk too much, and while they were chatting casually, they had unknowingly practiced for half an hour.
Michonne smiled, walked up to the man and said:
"Jasmine, I haven't seen you in a while. Are you ready to rejoin the team?"
"It seems that a group of soldiers have mysteriously disappeared, and we need you to investigate the specific truth."
Negan was not a stupid man. He laughed and said to Leon:
"I used to be the same as them. Although I always restrained my behavior, I had to do many things against my will in order to keep pretending. I often couldn't sleep all night because of the evil deeds of the Salvation Army."
"I've heard similar answers from other people."
"If you don't want to suffer too much."
Jasmine thought about it, and then told the two people what she heard last night.
In the Stinger Squad's gym.
As a native of Virginia, Albert had lived in this stronghold before the outbreak of the nuclear war. Many young people could be said to have grown up under his nose.
Ten years have passed, and she still hasn't gotten over the loss of her family, nor has she forgotten those she loved. Although many friends have advised and comforted her, she is still alone and has not formed a new family.
Compared with agility training, she pays more attention to strength and physical fitness. To be frank, many strong men cannot compare with her in this regard.
"You can't expect uncivilized monkeys to be able to sail a warship, right?"
The two turned around and saw Jill, and nodded with a smile.
He first glanced sideways at his little pet from the past with a self-deprecating smile on his face, then raised his head slightly, exchanged glances with Leon, and focused his gaze on the young leader in front of him.
"Haha, that little girl is so cute. She is very beautiful and has inherited your good looks very well."
Jill shrugged when she heard that. As a girl with a strong sense of responsibility, she was never afraid of any battle and was extremely loyal to the Human Rights Alliance.
"I don't know what Mason promised you, but if you can really control what's inside that institute."
Jasmine stopped running, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and recalled the scene of last night. She was too focused on other things at the time, her mind was a little fuzzy, and she didn't remember it very clearly.
"hehe."
"They claimed to be from the main base, responsible for investigating the disappearance of the transport team."
The residents who are able to join the transport team and carry out missions far away from the base are the elite in the base. Most of them are the youngest and strongest young people, and are the top pillars of every family.
"I really want to get back into the team sooner, but unfortunately Lyon thinks it's too early."
Michonne also walked down from the fitness equipment, went to an area she used most often, picked up a training sword, and began to practice various slashing moves.
In the past, when she was a mother, she had a lovely angel and a happy family. Unfortunately, the zombie virus took away everything from her.
"Leon told me that there are a large number of biological weapons stored in that research institute. If we handle them properly, we may be able to use them for the Human Alliance."
"I heard that you went to the radiation zone to carry out a mission together before. Did you complete the mission?"
"Captain Jasmine, do you know what the specific situation is?"
"Mr. President, do you want me to betray my organization?"
"But before that, maybe you can think about what else you can do to earn my forgiveness."
In this accident, they lost twenty-five companions, including the parents of many children, the lovers of many families, the children of many mothers. At least twenty families lost their loved ones forever.
"Since our team was not sent to deal with the federal raiders this time, there must be other missions."
"Think about it carefully, if you still want to continue living."
"By the way, Jill, Michonne, you can take a good rest these two days."
After satisfying his desire to talk, Leon did not continue to mock the loser, which was meaningless. Instead, he stated the purpose of his meeting with him.
"Especially in recent years, survival has become more difficult, and many of the survivors have died at the hands of the Salvation Army."
"Michonne, long time no see."
"That's what I guessed."
After that, he turned his gaze to Negan, who had remained silent, and said:
"Afterwards, someone will collect intelligence from you about the Savior Army, including their weapons, numbers, and defense facilities."
"I used to be proud of my Savior Army. Even though my soldiers did a lot of bad things, I just wanted more people to survive."
Jill nodded, chose a boxing sandbag for combat training, and said with emotion while exercising:
"Unfortunately, with your intelligence and energy, even if you are given the most advanced technology, without a matching foundation, you will not be able to use it."
"It's really tough. Not only are there a lot of them, but there are even monsters that can use Gatling guns."
"At least some people can survive instead of being turned into corpses by us."
A few days later, Virginia Stronghold.
Albert sat in his office, smoking a homemade cigarette intermittently, looking at a map with a distressed expression. The map marked the location where the transport team had disappeared.
As he spoke, Leon waved his hand to call the guard outside the office, and before asking him to continue taking Negan back to the cell, he said:
"Sure enough, God doesn't favor me. He is just a bastard. He always gives me hope and then beats me up. He is just teasing me."
"In future battles, it will be able to significantly reduce casualties among soldiers."
Jasmine, who was wearing a dark sports vest and shorts and had a fuller and rounder figure than before, tilted her head slightly, and when she saw Michonne, her old friend, she couldn't help but smile on her cold face.
"Is it the trouble from the Freemasons again?"
"But you're actually pretty lucky."
"After you disappeared, they never thought about finding you."
As the few female captains in the Lone Thorn Squad, Michonne and Jasmine have always been role models in Jill's heart.
It's not just hatred. Even if it's just pretending to be friendly, he will make some friends in the Saviors. Although they are not good people, how can he not have any feelings if the two sides are now enemies?
"Uncle Moore, who is in charge of guarding the gate, let me take you to see it."
Leon chuckled and said lightly:
"I'm not a believer though."
"The Saviors will be destroyed, Negan, and you will pay the price for what you have done."
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but glance at the disheveled Negan. He seemed to have noticed Dwight's gaze. Negan was finally no longer unresponsive to the outside world.
.........
She walked quickly to the two of them and said:
"You will be setting off again soon."
Leon shrugged at him and said:
"If you are willing and have the ability, that would be great."
Over the years, various tasks have been carried out many times, and there are very few tasks that can make them feel fear or other negative emotions.
"You know, the little one hasn't been weaned yet and can't leave me yet."
Michonne nodded when she heard that, and thinking of the cute little guy she saw when she went to Jasmine's house last time, she couldn't help but smile.
Suddenly, the door of the gym was pushed open again, and Miss Jill, wearing a tight sportswear, also walked in.
"Captain Michonne, Captain Jasmine, it's been a while."
"Or just let the Saviors surrender to you?"
"We will make corresponding countermeasures based on their intelligence."
However, as soon as she pushed open the door of the gym, she saw a figure who had not been seen for a long time jogging on the treadmill.
A little girl who was only twelve or thirteen years old came in skipping and jumping. After approaching Albert, she said with an excited expression on her face:
"Grandpa Albert, there is a group of people outside the base. They are wearing black armor and are driving a car?"
Shirley reached out and held her husband's hand. She knew very well that her husband had endured for many years and done many things against his will in order to win her back from Negan, and he still felt very guilty.
Just when he was still worrying about the missing transport team, the office door was pushed open.
It was just dawn, and Michonne wanted to do her daily physical training before breakfast, as usual.
"The location of the mission is at the base in Virginia."
As a warrior who likes to use samurai swords and close combat, she can imagine that it would be very difficult to deal with enemies who can use modern firearms.
After listening to Dwight's answer, Leon nodded, thought for a few seconds, and said:
"You're very honest, Dwight."
The other two nodded when they heard this. Although they didn't quite understand the tricks involved, it was enough for them to know that this was good for the Human Alliance.
Albert was stunned when he heard this. It was common knowledge in the world that fuel could not be used and cars could not be driven. He did not expect that someone could actually drive a car here.
"However, I think you should be very clear that you are not as important in their hearts as you think."
She could only say vaguely:
"If the Savior Army is really the organization you say it is."
He leaned back and changed his kneeling position to sitting on the ground. He continued to confront Leon without fear. He laughed and said in a hoarse voice:
"Long time no see, Jill."
"I heard from Leon that you will be given a difficult task soon."
"By the way, I heard that little Clementine went with you. It seems that the mission target is quite difficult."
"In this mission, thanks to the heroic Death Corps, our Stinger Squad did not play a big role."
Michonne is more familiar with Jill. When this girl first graduated from the military academy, she trained with her team. The two of them can even be said to have a master-disciple relationship.
Thinking of this, a faint sadness welled up in her heart again. Michonne took off her coat, revealing her soft and tough muscles like a black panther. She walked to a strength training equipment and started her daily training.
Faced with Leon's ridicule, Negan's expression froze slightly, but as a prisoner, he did not overestimate his own abilities to refute the other party.
His relatives had already died in the disaster, and the residents in the stronghold were like his relatives.
.........
This middle-aged man, who looked to be almost fifty years old, seemed to think that he could not escape from the hands of the Human Rights Organization. He gave up on himself and laughed at himself, saying:
"Just a month ago, after I found that old man Mason, I thought I was blessed by God."
Jasmine, who was still jogging with sweat on her forehead, heard this and said:
"It's a secret research institute of the Freemasons. A doctor named Mason is researching biological and chemical weapons."
Hearing the words of the President of the Human Rights League, Leon, Dwight couldn't help but feel a complex emotion in his heart. He had very complicated feelings about the Savior Army, an organization he had been in for nearly ten years.
"No one lost their lives in the zombie virus disaster, nor did they turn into ashes in the nuclear war."
Michonne was also interested when she heard it. When this mission was issued, she and her team members went out to perform other missions, so they did not participate. They just came back yesterday and had no time to look for relevant files.
"Maybe the Savior Army can really become a force that no one can ignore."
When the young girl saw Michonne and Jasmine, she was stunned at first, then she couldn't help but reveal a bright smile on her face.
"Once our staff discusses the battle plan, we will send out an army to eradicate this cancer of the Salvation Army."
However, when he thought about the capabilities of the Human Union Headquarters, he was no longer so surprised. After all, the power that could establish such a large organization in the end times represented the highest wisdom and spirit of mankind.
Albert touched the girl's head, stood up, and said in a kind tone:
"Come on, little Emma, let's go and take a look. Those should be the people sent by the headquarters to help us."
