Chapter 236 The right to speak
Daryl took most of the soldiers and escorted the prisoners out of the community.
At the gate of the dilapidated community, there was only one platoon of soldiers left to take charge of security and clear out the zombies that were wandering outside the wall.
The residents looked at Alan with more favor. Aaron's voice was trembling as he stood behind Alan and said, "Thank you..."
Seeing this, Maggie didn't know what to say to Alan. No matter what she did, it would be a loss to everyone. She didn't understand why Alan wanted to be the first to take action.
"This is the punishment he deserves. You don't have to thank me. I didn't hit him on the head, so he may not die."
Alan spoke honestly to the residents.
In fact, she aimed at Negan's belt buckle and fired a shot. In order to reduce the possible damage to Negan, she also used subsonic ammunition from a silencer pistol. After all, she couldn't really go against Zhang Qiang's intentions for a group of people she had just met.
People didn't say much, but just dispersed quietly. Alan did something that a group of soldiers dared not do under their noses, which gave everyone a chance to vent their anger. Most people didn't dare to ask for more.
Didn’t you see how the Destiny Army just now killed the Salvation Army like slaughtering dogs?
"Anyway, I thank you for everything you've done for Alexander. If you need me to do anything in the future, please let me know and I'll help."
Aaron gave Alan a sincere look before turning away to collect his boyfriend's remains.
The crowd dispersed, and Maggie immediately leaned over and whispered to Alan, "Why did you do this?"
"Don't worry, he will not die for sure. At most he will be slightly injured."
Alan's eyes were downcast. The Alexandria community still had a lot of use for her, and Negan just gave her a chance. The only pity was that the Saviors' machine guns killed some people, which made the community's available population even smaller.
In a corner of the community, Rick was holding Carl, who was bruised and swollen, and the father and son were crying together. Carl's shot at Negan bought time for people, and he was caught by the Saviors and beaten.
Most of the Saviors are not out-and-out thugs, especially when they are acting under Negan's nose. Even the Saviors, whose moral bottom line has been completely degraded in the apocalypse, dare not do anything too extreme.
Especially for women and children.
Sean joined Rick and Carl in their embrace. After the attack, seeing familiar people was the happiest thing.
The community cannot be rebuilt for the time being, and people have to go to the camp in the woods to get building materials. Dianna is discussing this with her husband Reggie.
It is worth mentioning that Alan was right to shoot Negan. When the residents knelt on the ground and were threatened by Negan, the vulnerable people would inevitably become distorted in their hearts and transfer their hatred to people in the same position as themselves.
In the end, Alan cleverly directed the conflict back to Negan. The reversal of the situation and the pleasure of revenge from the weak made the community's doubts about the Trail Blazers team disappear.
The human heart is a complicated thing. If we don't grasp it well, people who are controlled by wrong psychology will often make wrong actions.
Outside the community, on the road leading to the town of Dumfries, Daryl and Carol led the soldiers towards the wolf's territory.
As Alan told Maggie, Negan was fine. The subsonic bullet failed to penetrate Negan's steel belt buckle, but only bruised his abdomen.
What really gave the team's military doctor a hard time was the penetrating wound on Negan's shoulder. Penetrating wounds are difficult to suture and stop bleeding, but fortunately Negan's bones were fine and there were no broken shrapnel in his shoulder.
The town of Dumfries is the territory of the wolf clan. Before coming to Alexandria, Negan asked Simon and a group of people to guard the wolf clan in the supermarket and collect the "tribute" for the new week.
After treating his wounds, Negan stayed in the chariot with a gloomy expression. Daryl tied his hands again for safety reasons, as he was worried that Negan would go back on his word.
"Be content. It's a good thing she didn't tear you to pieces with that group of people. No one can persuade her except the principal and some veterans."
Daryl thought Negan was thinking about Alan shooting him, so his inability to comfort others began to comfort Negan.
Negan shook his head in denial, he was thinking about something else.
"No, I was thinking of something else."
"What is it?" Daryl asked, taking over.
"The prophet mentioned by the wolf tribe, my friends and I didn't hear them mention this person last time. Also, they were as cowardly as idiots before, but today someone dared to think of dying together with me... Your soldiers also saw it. I don't understand."
Negan told Daryl his doubts without reservation. He had already verbally promised the supreme commander of the Destiny Base and had also received a threat from Zhang Qiang. He was worried that there would be some unexpected events on this trip to Dumfries.
It is impossible that the Wolf Tribe would produce only this one person who wants to rebel against the Saviors. If the Saviors happen to encounter the Wolf Tribe trying to cause trouble, Negan would not be able to bear the blame.
There are still more than 200 Saviors in the Army. If due to misunderstandings from other forces, the Destiny Front really sends fighter jets to blow up the Saviors Temple, Negan will definitely not be able to accept it.
Daryl looked at Negan with some suspicion. He suspected that Negan was looking for an excuse for what would happen next, so he informed the soldiers to prepare for battle in front of Negan.
"Fuck, I didn't lie to you. I just found out about the wolf tribe. You can ask the soldiers who caught me." Negan defended himself.
Daryl saw that Negan did not seem to be lying. Although he was wary of strangers, he paid great attention to the details of the battle. So he immediately asked the team that captured Negan on the communication frequency and confirmed what Negan said.
"That makes it all the more necessary to have a fight."
Daryl looked at Negan meaningfully and asked the soldiers to be on high alert. The two strange words "wolf tribe" and "prophet" made his sixth sense very uncomfortable.
Negan knew that he would have to step in next. Simon and a group of his men were still in the supermarket in the wolf tribe's territory. He hoped that his suspicion was wrong and that the wolf tribe would not take the opportunity to cause trouble, otherwise another batch of his men would die.
Daryl's team reached the town of Dumfries without any hindrance. Negan told the driver the specific location of the supermarket, and the group successfully arrived at the quiet supermarket door.
There was no sign of living people around, so Daryl asked Negan to get out from the top of the tank and shout to the supermarket with a loudspeaker.
"I'm Negan. Simon, is everything ok?"
Negan's heart was beating wildly. The supermarket was not like this when he came. At least Simon had a group of his men standing guard on the rooftop of the supermarket.
Now there was silence all around. I didn't know whether Simon was hiding deliberately because he saw a stranger coming, or if something really happened in the supermarket.
Half a minute later, a Savior appeared on the rooftop of the supermarket. There was no letter W on his forehead, and it was obvious that he was Negan's "own man."
"Negan?! Boss? Where did you get the chariot?!" the Savior asked in shock.
