The world of world's end is not peaceful. Waiting for the old Harris to ride a cross-country motorcycle to work hard to reach Philadelphia, which is more than two hundred kilometers away, a day and a half has passed.
Philadelphia is the fifth-largest city in the United States, and now it is occupied by a steel brotherhood in New Jersey with the leader named Simon. The population he controls is less than 500,000, not even Zhou Qingfeng.
In the early days of the establishment of the Brotherhood of Iron and Steel, with the nature of a multi-party alliance of powerful figures, each leader occupied their own territory, abide by the most basic covenants, and benefited each other. But as time goes by, someone always has a bigger fist and wants to gain more territory and benefits.
Philadelphia is just a few hundred kilometers southwest of New York, and the Simon leader always feels threatened by David Lawrence. In particular, the latter has far more power than the former, and it is really a force to overcome the situation. It is possible to die at any time.
Simon boss wanted to develop to the south, occupied Baltimore and entered Washington, but now the situation is that Baltimore has been looted, and Washington is also occupied by a group of powerful Mutant.
Simon boss launched a tentative attack and was defeated. The military confrontation between the two sides has been going on for almost two months, and the Mutant suddenly said-no more, let's do business!
This picture changes too fast!
It is not only the old Harris that was actually sent by the Mutant forces to contact, but now in the Philadelphia City Hall, Simon boss is facing a dozen cans of protein powder being sent. In front of him gathered the No. 7 and 8 cronies and team managers, all inexplicable to this situation.
Bang Bang Bang ... After a knock on the door, the guard put a jar of protein powder on the desk of Simon boss and said: "This is from a guy named Harris, he was outside. Refused to leave, saying that if he could not send a negotiator in three days, Mutant would eat his son as a hostage. "
Bang ..., Simon boss was anxious, hitting the table with a fist and angrily said: "What does that mean? What do the Mutant want? Is this intimidating me?"
"Maybe this is a trap."
"But food inspection indicates that these protein powders are safe."
"Mutant is terrible, I think we still don't want to contact those guys."
"Because the other party is terrible, we should relax the relationship with the other party."
"We should send a messenger to ask the situation."
"Are you going to be this messenger?"
Listening to the messy quarrel among people around, Simon boss once again thumped the table and scolded: "Can you be quiet? We are in a bad condition now.
The David Lawrence in the north threatens us all the time, and the commanders in several areas in the west do not care about our lives. We are short of everything now, and the only way out now is to go south. I hope you can give us some useful suggestions! "
The world's end heroes come together, and there are many heroes, but not everyone can organize a high-level team. Zhou Qingfeng started early, and the 500 people who were taken away from New York were all selected elites. David Lawrence is famous and many people are willing to join him.
And people like Simon are taking advantage of the situation and seeing how far they can go depends entirely on luck. At least now it seems that the talent around this boss is really not that good. He looked at the pile of protein powder on the table with a frown, and after tangling for a while, called the guard, "The one called Harris, let him in."
Old Harris stayed all day and night and rushed back to Philadelphia. After seeing his own boss, he knelt down and pleaded, hoping to send someone to talk to the Mutant in Washington to save his son.
"You said that Mutant occupied the White House? Tell me about the situation." Simon boss was very imposing when facing the old Harris.
“There are a lot of Mutant, the leader is a‘ Zombie ’, they look very energetic and well equipped.”
"Mutant has almost evacuated the entire Washington in the past two months. I saw that the Pentagon was dismantled by them and they removed a lot of equipment from the underground of the building."
"They don't lack food, ..."
Old Harris said a lot, but the only thing that Simon boss can remember is the last sentence ‘they do n’t lack food’. How could this group of Mutant not lack food?
Humans have been dealing with the mutant lifeforms for more than half a year. The most impressive thing is the violent Mutant. The guys are good, but they are afraid of hunger. The hungry Mutant will attack with red eyes anything that they feel they can eat, even their own.
The hungry Mutant is terrible, but the Mutant starved to death is also very common. After the failure of Simon's attack on Washington, there was an ostrich mentality-wait for Mutant to starve to death, and then go to clean up the mess.
If people know that Zhou Qingfeng is feeding more than 30,000 Mutant, I am afraid that all the people who have tasted Mutant in North America will jump up and yell-bastard, think we have not suffered enough?
Old Harris has said everything he knows, but he can see the indifferent expressions of these big men in front of him, and he immediately feels cold-just look at the group of hesitants, he will definitely not send someone to contact him. Mutant, then his son must be ...
These people in power do n’t care about life and death at the bottom, they just want to keep themselves, and they probably do n’t react.
Looking at more than ten cans of protein powder stacked on the desk, I thought that my son would be eaten alive tomorrow, and the old Harris could not sit still. His mind immediately figured out one thing. He was not the first to be sent to report the news, and those people who had gone before ...
"The leaders of Mutant also said that they can no longer bear our procrastination. If we do not agree to their request, they will attack us."
"Yes, I suddenly thought that the group of Mutant were really impatient. They are all grumpy demons, their patience has all disappeared, and they will not get what they want, and it will definitely explode. "
"I see a lot of large ships on the Potomac River. I feel that Mutant may have exhausted all the supplies. If they cannot get food through trade, they will definitely attack us."
Old Harris sentence after sentence threatened to scare Simon a bunch of people, but what he said was very true.
You must know that the Brotherhood of New Jersey is defending the strongman David Lawrence in the north. If the Mutant in the south comes over ..., the distance is more than two or three days and it will kill you at most two or three days.
It was originally thought that Mutant, who had no brains, would be hungry and kill each other. Well now, people organized to beg for arms.
"We really should send a messenger to talk to Mutant." Simon looked around his men, and everyone avoided his eyes. In the end, he looked at his old Harris who had been staring at him, "Uh ... what's your name?"
"Harris."
"Ok, Harris, you are now our special envoy of the New Jersey Steel Brotherhood. I will equip you with a radio station and a few entourages. You can go to Washington again to run."
"I am a messenger?" The old Harris was stunned.
Just a bunch of big people in the office were silent, and now they nodded and agreed to this decision.
The matter seems to be satisfactorily resolved, but when the old Harris walked out of the Philadelphia City Hall, he was desperately and sullenly cursed: This group of bastards, they don't care about the life and death of our little people. Let me talk casually, I might as well turn to Mutant! (To be continued.)
