Chapter 141 Departure
A month passed quickly, and Zhang Qiang replenished all the arsenals of the Tianming Army and officially prepared to go to Savannah.
In the large open space in the central square of Gran Town, a Chinook transport helicopter was spinning its propellers, ready to take off.
Some workers on vacation and core members of the Tianming Army came to see Zhang Qiang off. The streets were filled with pedestrians and there were no traces of zombies left.
The defense project of Gran Town has been under construction. After the HESCO explosion-proof wall was built to enclose the densely populated buildings, it began to expand to the edge of Gran Town.
This is all thanks to the work of Lily and her father Larry. Before the disaster, both father and daughter were small leaders in the U.S. military and were very good at mobilizing infrastructure personnel.
After escaping from the difficult situation of survival and officially joining the school, the father and daughter accepted the work quietly and became inconspicuous "workers" in the school.
The Dixon brothers, Carol, and the Glen family (including Glenn) were chatting with Zhang Qiang in the center of the crowd.
"Zhang, you are great. May God bless you with all the best."
Herschel has not forgotten the conversation he had with Zhang Qiang on the farm, and now he believes that Zhang Qiang's new journey is to rescue people in another area.
Zhang Qiang smiled. He could guess what Herschel was thinking. Although his original intention was not to save people but just for ambition and hegemony, it did not prevent him from achieving a win-win situation with the survivors.
This time when he went to Savannah, Zhang Qiang also wanted to see whether the military bases around Savannah were safe and whether they were occupied by drug trafficking gangs.
As for the military base in the core area of Atlanta, Zhang Qiang currently does not dare to extend his hand there.
You have to know that Newnan is not far from Atlanta, and there are traces of drug trafficking gangs there.
Up to now, Kate and Price are still busy investigating the city of Newnan, looking for the existence of drug trafficking gangs.
Zhang Qiang felt very uncomfortable about not being able to take advantage of such a large resource tract as Newnan City. However, the drug cartel, a hostile organization, was very likely to have already swallowed up the weapons and assets of the U.S. military, and the school was not sure how to deal with them at the moment.
The Tianming Army can only choose to stay put now and wait for their leader Zhang Qiang to upgrade his panel gold finger again before facing the drug trafficking group head-on.
No one knew what would happen in a year, so Zhang Qiang decided to take some confidants who were worth training with him to Savannah.
Zhang Qiang always suspected that the headquarters of the Tianming Army had been discovered by the drug trafficking organization, but for some reason, the other party had not appeared in the vicinity of Gran Town to conduct investigations.
At least the school's drones and outbound scouts hadn't found any signs of suspicious activity.
Perhaps Zhang Qiang did not expect that when he was afraid of a potential enemy, the other party was also afraid of him.
The Newnan Amusement Park was destroyed by three "Mother of Bombs", leaving traces of explosion no less than a small tactical nuclear bomb. The leader of the drug cartel was stunned when he received the news and dared not explore south of Atlanta anymore.
In addition, unmanned reconnaissance aircraft have frequently appeared over Newnan in the past month, and the remaining members of the drug cartel in Newnan have long been scared back to the military base north of Atlanta.
The head of the drug cartel has ordered the pioneer troops to withdraw from Georgia and return to New Mexico. He is worried about encountering the remnants of the U.S. military.
In fact, if the cult bishop Marshall had not had experience in drug trafficking and had the contact information of the group's lower-level management, the leader would not have received the news and extended his hand to Georgia, which is two or three thousand kilometers away from New Mexico.
From Mexico to New Mexico in the United States, drug cartels have also invested a lot of resources, but have not yet squeezed out all the oil in New Mexico.
Interestingly, when leaders of both sides were afraid of each other's strength, they ignored the strength of the third party force.
A group of zombies.
The emergence of mutant zombies has made it even more difficult for the remaining survivors in various regions. Although their numbers are extremely rare, the weapons and equipment of civilian survivors are extremely poor. Once they encounter mutant zombies, the chances of survival are almost zero.
Back to the point, Zhang Qiang was ready to leave Gran Town and head to Savannah. He selected Sasha, a female bodyguard, Wolf, a militiaman favored by Price, and Sigma, who looked very strong.
Sigma was once the leader of the Whisperers. Later, the Pelican Mountain occupied by the Whisperers was flattened by Principal Zhang using the "Mother of Bombs". Sigma wandered for a while and then joined Woodbury during the Governor's period.
Finally, Woodbury was occupied by Zhang Qiang's men again. After Sigma realized his wonderful fate with the school, he chose to join Woodbury's security team and has been receiving training from the Destiny Army.
Zhang Qiang was able to know about Sigma's existence thanks to Daryl's recommendation, who discovered Sigma when he was the leader of Woodbury.
When Sigma met Zhang Qiang, he revealed everything about his past. Zhang Qiang originally wanted to reject Daryl's recommendation, but Alan happened to come to play with Zhang Qiang, and then he found that the panel indicated that Sigma had become his die-hard fan.
It's pretty fucked up. Zhang Qiang didn't understand what was going on. The panel only prompted the die-hard fan and skipped the follower prompt. This meant that Sigma had become his follower before.
After the school took over Woodbury, it entered a period of great development, with a large number of new followers notifying it every day, but Zhang Qiang chose to ignore it at the time.
At that time, Zhang Qiang's requirements for his confidants had already been raised to the level of die-hard fans.
In addition to these three people, Zhang Qiang also brought Hornet and Wasp. These two scorpion soldiers can fly helicopters and are also proficient in driving heavy ground vehicles, including tanks and infantry fighting vehicles.
There were now six of us in total, heading to Savannah together.
After Zhang Qiang and the Dixon brothers hugged each other, they boarded the Chinook transport plane. The propellers of the helicopter grew faster and faster, huge noise and strong winds hit the ground, and the huge fuselage slowly rose into the sky.
"Zhang, come back soon!! Don't make me go find you then!!"
Moore stretched out his only remaining arm, waved and shouted towards the sky.
"..."
Daryl looked at his brother speechlessly with red eyes. It was the first time he saw his brother's vulnerable side.
"Principal!! Destiny belongs to us!!"
While the crowd was saying goodbye on the ground, Zhang Qiang was already leaning back in his seat in the cabin, passing out cigarettes to everyone.
Sigma is a married man who has lost his wife and daughter, but he is no longer interested in cigarettes and cigars after quitting smoking for many years. Only Wolf, an older bachelor, and Zhang Qiang start smoking cigars.
"Commander-in-chief, what is our mission in Savannah this time?"
As the chosen one, Wolfe still doesn't know the real purpose of this trip.
"Explore the Savannah area and surrounding military bases. We want to establish a new base for our Destiny Army."
Zhang Qiang exhaled a puff of smoke, and Sasha next to him had closed his eyes and started to take a nap.
"Ah? So you only have so few people with you?" Wolfe said in surprise and disbelief.
“There are already some people in Savannah, and I will pick them up when the time comes.”
Zhang Qiang glanced at Wolfe, then said:
"Also, although we are superiors and subordinates, don't call me the commander-in-chief. Call me the principal or Zhang."
Wolfe awkwardly took a puff of his cigar, not knowing how to respond to Zhang Qiang's request. Price treated him like his own son, Price's superior was his superior, and his loyalty to Zhang Qiang was also his loyalty to the Tianming Army as a whole.
"Do we have enough food and ammunition?"
Sigma looked at the several large boxes stored in the cabin and suddenly asked.
"Don't worry, it's fine for now. We can also go to the city to search for supplies later. Just follow me and you won't go hungry."
Zhang Qiang nodded slightly to Sigma, indicating that he didn't need to think too much.
