Chapter 310 (4,000 Words)

Daryl walked out of the building, looked around, went to the base of a wall to take care of some personal matters, then tied his belt and walked towards the two people around a campfire.

Lu Jiayi quickly put on his headphones again and pointed the monitor in his hand in that direction. Daryl's familiar voice began to come from the headphones.

"J, you're on night shift?"

"Yeah. Why aren't you sleeping?"

"I'm not used to so many people. Didn't I tell you that I like being alone? Oh, do you have any cigarettes?"

There was a hissing sound in the earphones, and then a puff of green smoke came out of the mouths of two people in the distance.

"How was your talk with the chief today?"

"I'm going to stay here for ten days before I'm allowed to go out and collect supplies."

"Haha, behave yourself. We all went through this. Ten days is not a long time. At least you haven't been assigned to watch the night yet, right? Take a good rest for a few days. You won't be so free after these ten days."

“I still like being outside.”

"You're such a freak, haha."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Several people around all let out bursts of suppressed laughter, but they did not dare to make any sound, as if they were afraid of disturbing the rest of the people in the building.

Daryl curled his lips indifferently, looking around intentionally or unintentionally, quickly memorizing the surrounding environment. At this moment, he didn't know that Lu Jiayi already knew that he was trapped here, and would observe the environment here whenever he had the chance.

J noticed his actions but didn't think much about it. He thought he was curious about the environment here, so he took the initiative to introduce it.

“Is the environment here okay?”

"Not bad for a settlement."

"Haha, you didn't see when we first got here."

At this point, J's expression suddenly became mysterious. He looked around and spoke in a low voice.

"Let me tell you, the boss here was not from here before. It is said that he came from the north. I joined when they first arrived in Birmingham, but I heard that they came here to look for a group of people, saying that they wanted revenge or something."

Hearing this, Daryl's eyes narrowed slightly, and the expression on his face changed slightly, but J, who was talking excitedly, didn't seem to pay attention to him, but continued to talk to himself.

"The question I hear most often these days is, have you ever seen a motorhome with steel plates welded to the outside? Oh, right, aren't you always on your own? Have you ever seen a motorhome with steel plates welded to the outside and with rammed corners?"

"No, I rarely come across survivors."

"Okay, but I heard that the leader will reward anyone who provides information. It seems that we are not going to get that reward."

…

In the residential building outside the wall, Lu Jiayi's expression became a little strange. What the man named J said seemed very familiar to him. The North, RV, these keywords made him think of the Salvation Army in Washington.

Is the Salvation Army moving to Birmingham?

Then Daryl seemed to lose interest in chatting. He quickly finished his cigarette, patted J on the shoulder and walked into the small building.

Lu Jiayi also slowly walked out of the house and without hesitation, ran directly towards the bus, his figure gradually disappearing into the night.

On the bus.

It seems that everyone is resting in their seats, but if you get closer you will find that no one is asleep, and the car, which should be filled with snoring, is unusually quiet at this time, so quiet that you can hear a pin drop.

"Someone is coming!"

Glenn, who was on guard duty, gently patted Rick beside him, and the latter sat up immediately without a trace of sleepiness on his face.

The others also stood up, looked at each other, and smiled with relief. Glenn didn't feel strange when he saw that everyone in the car had woken up, but continued to focus his attention outside.

"It's Lu, open the door."

Lu Jiayi ran very fast and jumped into the car the moment the door opened.

"how's it going?"

Before he could take off his equipment, several old men came up to him nervously and asked questions.

Speaking of taking off the helmet, Lu Jiayi nodded as he took off his equipment.

"Darryl's in there."

Looking at everyone's anxious expressions, he waved his hand again and quickly explained.

"Don't worry, the other party seems to have accepted him. Now he seems to have joined them. There will be no danger."

Hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief and waited for Lu Jiayi to finish cleaning up before sitting down around him.

"The other side is heavily guarded, and there are people stationed on every section of the wall. I think it will be difficult to get in, but there is good news. It seems that the other side has accepted Daryl. I also saw him in person. From their conversation, I can see that he will stay here for ten days. After ten days, he will go out with the team to look for supplies. Then we will have a chance to rescue him."

"So we're just going to wait like this?"

Rick seemed unwilling and asked reluctantly.

Lu Jiayi spread his hands, feeling helpless.

"For his safety, this is the only way. Contact the base and send a few more vehicles over. This rescue must be successful. And be careful about Daryl's safety."

"OK."

The soldier in the team who was in charge of the vehicle radio nodded.

Suddenly thinking of something, Lu Jiayi looked at Rick beside him.

"How is the preparation of the second base going?"

Rick nodded affirmatively upon hearing this.

"It's almost done. It will probably be finished in another week. The original facilities are very complete, so we just need to clean up a bit."

"That's good. Let's not run around these days. Just wait for the people from the base to come."

After everyone had fallen asleep peacefully, Lu Jiayi pulled Rick and Glenn aside and whispered to them another piece of news he had heard.

"You said those people were the Salvation Army? They came to Birmingham?"

Glenn has a deep memory of the Saviors. In order to save people, they used the zombie masks for the first time and lured a large number of zombies to rescue all the trapped people.

Although Rick has never met the other party, he has heard Michonne and others talk about this organization a lot, and he is extremely disgusted with their cruel and bloodthirsty style.

Now that they knew the news, the two people's originally relaxed mood became heavy again.

"It's good that you know about this. Next, we need to prepare for a big war. Now we are in the dark and they are in the light. My idea is to solve this trouble once and for all."

Ten days later.

On the outskirts of Birmingham, a huge convoy drove slowly towards this side, turning around and arriving at an abandoned parking lot on the edge of the city.

Among the five transport vehicles, four tanks and one helicopter were particularly conspicuous, plus fifteen armored vehicles and a number of weapons and ammunition.

This was the largest operation in Ideal Town since the beginning of the apocalypse. A total of 200 troops were dispatched, plus more than 20 people from Lu Jiayi's side, forming an iron army.

Standing on the roof of the car in front of everyone, Lu Jiayi raised his voice slightly and spoke to the people below.

"Everyone here is basically our friend from Washington. You should be familiar with the name of the Salvation Army. They killed many of your relatives and friends for some inexplicable reasons, but we had no way to resist at that time. Now these people have appeared again and are still looking for us. I believe I don’t need to explain their purpose!"

"But this time! We are no longer who we were before. They want to find us and destroy us! So what should we do?"

The people standing below were so excited by what Lu Jiayi said, and under the stimulation of their relatives and friends being killed, almost everyone was shouting with red faces.

"Destroy them!"

“Kill them!”

Seeing that the atmosphere was already tense, Lu Jiayi waved his hand to stop everyone.

"Let's proceed as planned, but I have to say this in advance. I don't care how much hatred you have for each other before. No one can act on their own before we rescue our own people. Even if Daryl is rescued, you can't kill the other party at will. I will leave the opportunity for revenge to you. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Commander!"

"action!"

If the Savior Army had stayed in Washington obediently, Lu Jiayi really didn't intend to pay any more attention to them, but he didn't expect that the other party would chase them all the way here. He had no mercy on such hidden dangers, and the best way was to nip it in the bud.

The leader of the Saviors is no longer Negan. No matter who the other leader is, the fact that they killed people cannot be erased. The conflict between his team and these people can no longer be reconciled, so the only way is to confront them head-on.

A team of several hundred people needs a large amount of supplies to move. Lu Jiayi doesn't want to waste too much time. Since he has the advantage, he must make good use of it and try to defeat them without bloodshed.

The first was the opponent's two vassal bases. Thanks to Andrew's existence, they already knew the exact location of one of them. They also used the time of troop transfer to investigate the other settlement before making a detailed plan.

It is more like a crushing rather than a plan. After all, in the face of absolute power, everything is false.

…

Today is the eleventh day since Daryl joined the Legion. He was called into the house by Shiro early in the morning. As soon as he walked into the house, he saw Shiro eating.

"Slurp...D, you have initially gained our trust. Today is your eleventh day in the legion, and it is also the day you gain a new life."

Somehow, Daryl always felt that the smile on Shiro's face made him uncomfortable, but things were indeed moving in a good direction, so he didn't say much.

"OK, I understand."

Shiro swallowed the food in two or three bites, then patted his stomach in satisfaction, picked up a pack of cigarettes from the table, and raised his eyebrows at Daryl.

Daryl took the cigarette and lit it for the other person.

After exhaling a puff of smoke beautifully, Hiro turned his gaze forward again.

"You will be sent out today. We have a test to join the legion. You will follow me later. Do you understand?"

"What test?"

Looking at Daryl with a confused face, Shiro once again showed that uncomfortable smile. Daryl was secretly alert and had a bad feeling in his heart.

But Hiro immediately spoke again.

"Don't worry, I'm just teasing you. The mission is very simple, you just need to do it. This is an order from the boss himself, you must execute it without compromise!"

Half an hour later, several convoys drove out of the legion base. In a forest in the distance, a soldier from Ideal Town was hiding on a book, watching this place quietly.

"Zizi... Commander, the other side is moving. They have divided into four teams and are heading in different directions."

"receive."

Lu Jiayi's voice came from the intercom, and after a brief pause, he spoke again.

"Pay attention at every intersection and look for Daryl among these people. If there is one, quickly report which direction he went."

After a few minutes of silence, Michonne's voice came over the intercom.

"Darryl was found in a convoy heading north. I repeat, Daryl is in a convoy heading north."

"receive."

We got accurate information that four armored vehicles were parked on both sides of the road in a forest five kilometers to the north.

On the side of the road was a car that had come from nowhere. Smoke was coming out of the front of the car. There was a picture of a little girl drawn on the dusty window, with a line of small words written next to it: Little arrogant girl!

There was a pool of dark red blood next to the car. Several zombies were attracted by the strong smell of blood. They lay on the ground trying to find some fresh flesh and blood, but what they ate were just some bones soaked in blood.

They bit hard but failed to get any flesh or blood. Instead, their teeth broke one by one.

Another zombie was attracted by the green smoke coming from the front of the car. It lay on the hood of the car and kept flapping it, as if trying to figure out where the smoke came from.

At this moment, two cars drove towards this side from the end of the road in the distance. It was the team led by Hiro.

"Captain, look ahead!"

Hiro raised his eyelids slightly and saw the situation in front of him at a glance. He glanced at it indifferently. When he found the zombies, he lost interest and just looked ahead indifferently.

Soon they were close, and Shiloh's gloomy eyes suddenly brightened. Two huge bags of supplies were lying quietly in the back seat of the car.

"parking."

With his low shout, the two cars slowly stopped. After looking around and not finding anything unusual, Shiro got out of the car directly, and the others followed with cold weapons in hand.

Daryl was holding a crossbow, and as soon as he got out of the car, he raised his hand and shot an arrow at the forehead of the zombie that was hitting the hood. The other zombies finally realized the arrival of food, and as soon as they raised their heads, they were chopped directly on the head by several machetes.

"Haha, you little arrogant girl, what a ridiculous name!"

The driver, Miles, did not get out of the car. He saw the words written on the window at a glance and read them out with some amusement.

These few simple words scared Daryl, who had always been calm. Others didn't understand what the little arrogant girl meant, but he would never forget it. That was the day when the first little life was born in the base, not to mention that it was the name he gave to the little life.

After a moment of distraction, Daryl suddenly jumped to the side of the road as if he was hit by an electric current.

Almost at the same time, everyone heard the roar of the huge engine.

Four mechanical monsters suddenly jumped out from the woods on both sides, roared and rushed onto the road, blocking the roads on both sides tightly.

The moment the armored vehicle appeared, Hiro's pupils instantly dilated. The few people who had just walked out of the Hummer wanted to get into the car, but they bumped into each other for a moment.

While the other side was in a mess, four armored vehicles rushed to the front of the Hummer. Michonne in the car suddenly opened the door and shouted loudly.

"Darryl, get in the car!"
