Time Travel: I am a Warlord in Doomsday America

Chapter 46 Thinking about the Mission

Green Farm, at Hershel's home.

At night, candles were lit in the Green family's living room, and Hershel and Rick sat at the table, discussing things.

"Rick, Dai Ya informed me the day before yesterday that we should not go back to school for the time being. She said that the school encountered a group of zombies.

It looks like trouble.

I wonder if you could take someone to the town tomorrow to check, I can't contact them for the time being."

Hershel was very worried because Dai Ya, with whom he could communicate directly, had not responded for two days.

This made the old man think of the worst case scenario.

Alan had previously requested to go to school to study, and some members of Rick's team were also training and working in the school.

Correspondingly, the school also assigned some workers to work on the farm to learn planting and breeding.

Rick placed his hands on the table, his eyes somewhat empty, mainly because he was worried about his wife's pregnancy.

Although everything was on track, pregnant Lori was in a bad mood and often lost her temper for no reason, causing some pressure on Rick.

Especially when Lori occasionally mentioned Sean.

Rick had long guessed that his wife and Sean had an improper relationship. But Rick understood Lori's choice, after all, she thought she had lost him at the time.

A housewife before the disaster, a woman, alone with her child.

After a disaster, how can we survive without relying on others?

Rick felt upset. On the one hand, he was grateful to Sean for protecting his wife and children, but on the other hand, he was angry about his wife's improper relationship with Sean.

Fortunately, Sean left without saying goodbye and went to school, otherwise Rick would have found it difficult to control his mentality if he saw Sean every day.

In the original series' first season finale, Sean had the opportunity to kill Rick.

Sean has the upper hand.

He used the outsider who was imprisoned by Rick to create the illusion that the other party had escaped, and lured Rick outside the farm. He pointed a gun at Rick's back, but he hesitated to shoot. Instead, he asked Rick to pull out his gun and fight him head-on.

That wasn't the first time Sean and Rick had a conflict. They had fought before and ended up reconciling.

Rick also warned Sean to stay away from Lori and Carl, and the baby in Lori's belly, that child can only be Rick's!

Rick especially emphasized this point.

Sean, a professional sports shooting coach and an excellent policeman.

At the last moment, he actually trembled when he pointed the gun at Rick. He was afraid. He knew he was forcing Rick to make a choice.

Regardless of whether Sean will shoot at the last moment, Sean will force Rick to make a choice.

'You don't have the heart to kill anyone, so I'll kill the threat for you and Lori. For everyone's safety.

You can't be cruel to this world? I'm pointing a gun at you now, I'm going to take away your wife and children! What are you going to do now?

I'm giving you a chance, brother. Your only choice now is to draw your gun and fight me.

I'm not sure if I'll shoot or not because I haven't made up my mind yet.

Rick, we've come this far and I'm really not sure what I'm going to do, so get the guns out and let me make up my mind.'

Maybe that’s what Sean was thinking that final night.

Later, the ending Rick gave Sean might be the result Sean had imagined.

All I can say is that the relationship between Rick's family and Sean is a complete tragedy.

Back to reality, after Hershel called him many times, Rick pulled himself out of his complicated thoughts. He crossed his fingers and clenched his fist, put it on his lips, and said to Hershel:

"I'll show someone around the school tomorrow. Hershel, anything else?"

Hershel sighed. He noticed that something was wrong with Rick. It would be very dangerous for him to go out in this state.

But thinking of Alan still being in school, Hershel reminded him: "Remember to bring more bullets when you go out."

"no problem."

After their candlelight chat, Rick left the house, returned to the tent, and lay down next to his wife Lori.

The days were getting more and more dull, but Rick still couldn't calm down. He felt that something was enveloping him, and that feeling was pointing in the direction of the school...

The next day, fierce gunfire was heard in the town of Gran in the morning.

The armed team in the school quickly got ready and patrolled near the wall to check for any abnormalities.

Zhang Qiang, who had a good night's rest, was also awakened by the gunshots. He remembered that he had given an order that guns must be equipped with suppressors when going out to kill zombies.

Who dares to ignore what he said? !

Zhang Qiang found Moore angrily and was about to question him, but Moore looked aggrieved. He guessed what Zhang Qiang was thinking.

“Our people haven’t gone out yet. There may be survivors outside.”

Moore said with his hands spread out in grievance.

"...I'm going to check out the situation. Scorpion, come with me."

Zhang Qiang called Wang Zhiqiang through the intercom.

Two real Call of Duty soldiers nimbly climbed over the school's iron fence and walked through the open space filled with zombies with guns in hand.

Following the sound of gunfire, Zhang Qiang came to the south of the town. Along the way, he shot and killed many zombies and his panel points broke through.

On the east street of the town, Rick was driving his car, rushing all the way in an attempt to break through the encirclement of the zombies. T and Glenn were sitting in his car, and they were taking turns shooting at the zombies clinging to the car windows.

A pair of rotten hands reached into the car. Glenn was so scared that his face turned pale. He hastily opened fire with the shotgun in his hand without even aiming at the heads of the zombies crowded outside the car.

boom!

Blood splattered on the heads of several zombies one after another. Glenn thought his shooting was effective and excitement appeared on his face.

Thud thud thud thud thud thud——!

A dull sound came from the street. Zhang Qiang and Wang Zhiqiang appeared and shot the zombies surrounding Rick's car.

Rick stepped on the brakes of the car, not because he didn't want to continue accelerating, but because many corpses had been caught in the car's chassis, seriously affecting the car.

Just then someone came to help them shoot the zombies, and Rick gave up trying to break out of the zombie tide in order to avoid being hit by stray bullets.

Anyone with a fully automatic rifle and a silencer in Gran Town could only be from the school.

Rick was very clear about this, so he cooperated with Zhang Qiang and Wang Zhiqiang's support with peace of mind, although he had not yet seen the appearance of the supporters clearly.

"Hoo..."

"Ugh..."

The zombies fell to the ground one by one. Modern firepower was not something these rotten corpses could withstand.

People's fear of zombies is often due to insufficient firepower.

In less than a minute, all the zombies outside the car were lying on the ground with their brains blown open.

Rick opened the car door and saw a dead body on the ground. He looked at the rotten face of the zombie with mixed feelings, then walked over to thank Zhang Qiang and Wang Zhiqiang.

"Hello, thank you for what you did just now. Are you from the school?"

Rick asked cryptically.

Zhang Qiang took off his communication helmet, revealing his long hair. He said he wanted to cut his hair but he hadn't done that for a long time.

Seeing Zhang Qiang's playful smile, Rick was shocked. He didn't expect that this man wearing a heavy bulletproof vest and fully armed was actually Zhang!

How long has it been since then, and Zhang's equipment has been upgraded again? !

"Thank you very much, Zhang."

Rick came up and shook hands with Zhang Qiang. This was his only way to express his gratitude, because he didn't have much ability to help the school.

This time, when he heard Hershel say that there was trouble at school, he just wanted to help out as much as he could.

"What are you doing at school, Rick? Shooting without a suppressor is prohibited here recently."

Zhang Qiang was still so direct and didn't give Rick any face.

Rick was a little embarrassed. He touched his nose and said, "Herschel said you were in trouble... I came to see if you needed help."

Zhang Qiang nodded and introduced Wang Zhiqiang to Rick, just to make sure they were familiar with each other:

"This is Scorpion, the special forces' top soldier."

Rick was shocked and shook hands with Wang Zhiqiang.

Zhang Qiang's armed forces are always expanding violently, and sometimes Rick suspects that he is a spy sent from across the ocean.

"The school is fine, but the town is not safe right now. You have to be careful on the farm. There are many zombies escaping from the city, and now there are zombies everywhere in the countryside."

Zhang Qiang shared the information that the soldiers had recently discovered with Rick.

"Hoo..."

A zombie that had been hiding in some corner walked out of the street and walked towards the people who were talking.

Wang Zhiqiang took out a silenced M9 pistol and shot the ragged zombie thirty meters away with one shot.

The zombie with a big hole in its head fell to the ground. The whole process, from the moment Wang Zhiqiang drew his gun and opened fire to the end, took less than a second.

Rick: "..."

"I see. This information is very useful. I will ask Hershel to set up sentries."

Rick said.

Zhang Qiang nodded, and then invited Rick to visit the school. He pointed to a route with fewer zombies, and told him that they could talk about anything at the school.

Wearing dozens of kilograms of heavy armor, Zhang Qiang and Wang Zhiqiang climbed up the buildings on the street and went ahead. Rick stood on the street and watched the two leave in an extraordinary way, with a stunned expression.

"Zhang Qiang suggested that Karl go to school to study. I should try to persuade Lori. I hope there is still a chance."

Rick thought to himself.

Outside the school, soldiers holding rifles with muzzle suppressors were still clearing out zombies. The armed team was helping them and observing the soldiers' coordination, tactical movements, and shooting postures.

Miles was asking his teammate for a cigarette, and Moore came over and kicked him in the butt, saying sternly:

"Watch carefully! If you embarrass me during training tomorrow, I'll show you how I'll deal with you!!"

Miles patted the dust off the footprints on his buttocks and muttered aggrievedly: "Maya has almost drained you out... Let's see who will be embarrassed tomorrow..."

"What are you mumbling about?!"

"it's okay no problem!"

A few minutes later, a red car drove onto the street outside the school. The soldiers stopped firing and reported to Zhang Qiang who had already returned to the school.

"That's Rick, a partner at Green Farms. Let him go."

Zhang Qiang gave orders via the intercom.

Rick and his group arrived at the school. Along the way, he saw a large number of zombie corpses piled up like a hill. While being terrified, Rick also refreshed his understanding of the school's power.

Glenn and T followed Rick into the school. Moore and the armed team were guarding the school gate. Seeing the "old acquaintances", Moore couldn't help but teased:

"Hey little brats, don't you want to say hello when you see Mr. More?"

Glenn and T-boy had no feelings for Moore, so they simply ignored him and continued walking towards the school.

Moore's face darkened. He was not given face in front of so many of his men. Very good, he would remember it.

More has never been a good man, and he is not insidious when it comes to internal conflicts, but if there is an open opportunity to cause trouble, he will not miss it.

"Search your body and surrender your guns!!"

Moore growled, and the armed team members who were still observing and learning the soldiers' movements immediately surrounded them with guns raised, shouting loudly to stop Rick and the others from taking action:

“Don’t move!!!”

"Don't fucking move!!"

Rick raised his hands helplessly and said to Moore: "Is it necessary, Moore, we..."

"Shut up!!"

Miles wanted to kick Rick right away. He was a big fan of More.

"stop!!"

A familiar voice stopped Miles. Rick was also familiar with this. He looked towards the source of the voice, and his expression suddenly became complicated.

It's Sean!

After almost a month of not seeing each other, Sean shaved his head into a crew cut, changed into a simple short-sleeved shirt in the style of American soldiers, and wore combat pants and boots.

Sean came over and patted Moore on the shoulder, saying, "Stop teasing them. I'll take them to find Zhang."

Moore curled his lips and said unhappily: "They should learn to respect."

"Okay, okay... Brother Moore..."

Sean knew that Moore was a man who had to be treated with kindness, and since everyone was working under Zhang Qiang now, there was no need to create conflicts.

The armed team left Rick and his men's guns behind, and Sean took Rick and his men to the office building.

During the distance of just a few dozen meters, Sean and Rick were both silent, without the enthusiastic communication as before.

When they were almost at the teaching building, Sean finally broke the silence. Now he knew that Rick must have known about him and Lori.

"Rick, I'm sorry. If you need any help... you know my intercom channel."

Sean said and turned to leave.

Rick stood at the door of the office building. He wanted to say something to his brother, but he didn't know what topic to bring up.

Yes, they both expressed emotions that the other knew very well, so something had been exposed, and a crack had appeared in their friendship that could not be repaired for the time being.

'Damn the world.'

Rick shook his head, his expression was strangely empty for a moment, then he adjusted himself and went to the principal's office to see Zhang Qiang.

In the principal's office, Dai Yazheng and Zhang Qiang were reporting something. The two were discussing the "Glan Town Cleanup Plan II", and there was no better solution for the time being.

The town was littered with small groups of corpses and piles of corpses. More people were needed to clean up the mess, otherwise the work of the workers would be hindered.

knock, knock...

Hearing the knock on the door, Zhang Qiang asked Dai Ya to sit aside as he was going to talk to Rick first.

This was not a sudden impulse for him to communicate with the protagonists of the series. After unlocking the hidden mission reward from the CDC, Zhang Qiang began to think about the nature of this crappy panel.

[Mission Panel], what does it mean? Has Zhang Qiang been given some kind of mission? Is this mission to save the beautiful people, or to usurp the foundation of the beautiful country and continue its prestige as the world hegemon?

The latter idea is just Zhang Qiang's personal nonsense. At least he thinks it is impossible at this stage.

Combined with his travels to this world, he went to the quarry under the guidance of Uncle Sevo and met the protagonists of The Walking Dead.

And because of going to find sisters Andrea and Sewo to unlock the CDC reward.

Zhang Qiang has reason to believe that the panel and hidden tasks are closely related to the protagonists of the series.

He unlocked a hidden mission [The Leader] on Moore, probably because Moore is a supporting character.

But one of the protagonists, Daryl, happened to be the last person to complete the [Leader] mission, so Zhang Qiang unlocked his special skills, which is another huge plug-in.

He now strongly suspects that the rewards for unlocking the panel mission are linked to the protagonist team to some extent.

That was why he was willing to communicate more with Rick at the moment, and he also wanted to find an opportunity to unlock the hidden rewards on the panel from Rick and the others.

"What's been difficult lately, Rick?"

Rick felt uncomfortable with Zhang Qiang's friendly expression. He was still used to the cold Zhang from before.

"Everyone is doing well, nothing bad has happened. Why do you ask this suddenly, Zhang?"

Rick opened his eyes wide, trying to read something from Zhang Qiang's expression, and asked in confusion.

If someone shows too much kindness for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. All adults understand this truth.

Zhang Qiang hummed and frowned. He now urgently wanted to unlock the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft to counter the Whisperers and the zombies roaming around.

He accumulated a lot of points for this purpose, but unfortunately Rick didn't have any clues about the hidden mission.

The unmanned reconnaissance aircraft is a good thing. With it, Zhang Qiang doesn't have to worry about enemies and massive zombie hordes suddenly invading Gran Town and he would be too late to realize it.

The thermal imager equipped on the unmanned reconnaissance aircraft can easily scan out the Whisperers hiding in the zombie horde.

However, Zhang Qiang is not sure whether the drone on the panel can display the location of the enemy's red dot like in the game, so as to facilitate precise strikes.

If it is really that convenient, Zhang Qiang just wants to say:

"Tai cool spicy!"

Back to reality, Zhang Qiang rubbed his brows, feeling a little worried. Unmanned aerial vehicles were not available for the time being, so he could only distribute thermal imaging sights for soldiers and armed teams to use.

A thermal imaging scope costs 25 points. Different models and different magnifications are priced the same. Although it is not expensive, it is an armed force of nearly 50 people, and it will cost Zhang Qiang more than a thousand points in total.

"It's okay, Rick. If you have any questions, you can contact me directly. By the way, last time I said I would send Carl to study. Have you thought about it?"

Zhang Qiang asked.

Rick didn't hesitate this time and made the decision directly:

"I'll bring Carl here tomorrow. It's time to make him a real eel."
