Chapter 246: The Terminal (2)
A tall man wearing a hand-sewn gray-white robe stood next to the railway platform and was communicating with some "healthy" zombies.
Gray, the leader of the Terminal community, is a man who has been cannibalizing humans but has never shown signs of dementia. He is a head taller than other zombies and his muscles are stronger and fuller.
A group of zombies about two meters tall gathered together. Gray was the tallest one. The zombies in the community were very concerned about their relatives and friends who had fallen ill, and came to inquire about Gray's placement in Washington.
Chris followed the wolf tribe and walked over. Gray's ears twitched slightly. He turned around and greeted Chris with his eyes.
It is hard to imagine that such a normal scene actually happened among zombies. Putting aside their identities as zombies, their behavior is exactly the same as that of normal people in socializing.
The zombies at the terminal are more mutated than the cult believers in Newnan. The believers only take the blood of the zombie lord or are infected with blood viruses, while the people at the terminal actively maintain cannibalism, and all of them are mutated as individuals.
If these zombies were allowed to completely mutate into zombie lords, I'm afraid each of them could become a fully mature zombie lord.
Gray returned to the terminal, and his mother Mary happily set up a grill next to the station and grilled delicious meat.
Although the people at the terminal are cannibals, the pieces of meat processed in the slaughterhouse are extremely neat, making it difficult to tell what the meat originally looked like.
Gray walked to the grill, reached out and picked up a piece of half-cooked barbecue, and quickly crushed it into minced meat with his powerful teeth.
"It's delicious. My mom is the best cook in the world."
Gray pinched Mary's shoulders and massaged his mother twice.
Mary smiled without saying anything, with a proud smile on her face. Although they paid a lot, their life is much better now than before. Mary has no regrets, only full of gratitude.
Thank goodness everyone chose cannibalism.
"Now tell me why the mission failed. Winter is coming soon this year, and we need to store more food."
Gray said to Chris that this was the reason why he called Chris here.
Chris looked calm as he recounted what happened that night.
The smile on Gray's face gradually froze, but when he saw Chris's serious expression, he smiled again.
Gray put his big hands on Chris's shoulders and hugged him with a smile.
"So what do you mean they have a third eye? Can see you in the dark of night?"
"Yes, I feel..."
"No, no, no, Chris. I don't want your feelings. I want my feelings. Take Martin and the others with you, take away all the violent people around, and complete the mission today, okay?"
Gray interrupted what Chris was about to say and pinched Chris's shoulder with his big hand. Chris felt the long-lost pain.
Now Chris knew that Gray was dissatisfied with him.
Chris has a normal temper. Now that Gray doesn't believe him, he is naturally very unhappy.
Chris suppressed the anger rising in his heart, pushed Gray's hand away, and said in a muffled voice: "I know."
"Okay, then please do it."
Gray stared at Chris with a smile, and kept staring at Chris's back as he turned and left for a while, then he looked away.
'How dare he resist me?! Damn it...'
Gray was furious inside, but he remained calm on the surface and continued to talk to his mother about what happened in Washington.
He met several official survivors and gained a clearer understanding of the zombie plague disaster.
The original body of the corpse flu virus came from outside the atmosphere and fell into France along with a large number of space spores. The French took the virus samples and found the United States, which is also an ally, for research. However, the result was out of control. The virus mutated again and spread all over the world.
(The above is the original setting of The Walking Dead comics)
Gray was very glad that his work in Washington was not in vain. He knew that there were always a few cowardly officials hiding in the shelters built by the government at great expense.
Gray brutally killed these politicians. He had no interest in the bigger secrets the officials mentioned when they begged for mercy. He just remembered that these people talked about some kind of stone and energy.
The theme of alien viruses and alien monsters has always been an evergreen in American science fiction works. After Gray found out the truth of everything, he also roughly figured out the reason for the "evolution" of everyone at the terminal.
Are you kidding? If one could become so powerful just by eating humans, that would be a fantasy. Only with the addition of the alien virus did Gray feel that it made sense.
However, Gray also believes that cannibalism should be one of the keys to "evolution", so he has been encouraging people at the terminal to continue eating human flesh.
Of course, there is another reason.
After Gray "evolved", he used his powerful strength to gather a large amount of resources. After enjoying various foods, he finally found that only human flesh was the most delicious and the most enjoyable, so Gray still enjoyed human flesh.
Gary heard from his mother Mary that Chris had developed a resistance to cannibalism, which made him even more dissatisfied with Chris. It seemed that Chris' attitude was at odds with the Terminal in every aspect.
"Mission failed? Being discovered and warned? Humph, I'm afraid Chris has shown some mercy to those monkeys."
Gray suddenly complained to Mary.
"He was just confused. Chris is a good kid and he helped us a lot."
Mary comforted her son and spoke well of Chris. After all, Chris had made great efforts to get to the terminal.
"Yeah, if it weren't for the fact that he really helped us, I would have brought him to Washington to meet my friends today." Gray said with a frown.
"Are you sure he's OK?"
"of course not……"
The mother and son talked about Washington. Gray had a friend in Washington, and only Mary knew about this.
A new day in the Alexandria community.
Zhang Qiang formally met with Diana. After some polite words, Zhang Qiang decided to let the soldiers escort Diana and her family to Zuozhou.
Because of the publicity by Maggie and others, the residents in the community were very yearning for Zouzhou. Zhang Qiang already knew that Diana's husband Reggie was a construction engineer, and he wanted to lure Reggie to Zouzhou under the pretext of inviting him to visit the headquarters of the Destiny Front.
As for the residents of the community, we can send a few representatives to Georgia to take a look. Too many people will not do. As one of the important footholds of the Mandate of Heaven around Washington, the Alexandria community still needs more manpower to build.
The residents watched the soldiers drive away. The soldiers had to go to the Salvation Church to take a helicopter so that they could return to Zouzhou as soon as possible.
Some residents and children came to Zhang Qiang to chat, and Zhang Qiang accepted them all. At present, the Alexandria community has a very high recognition of the Tianming Front, and Zhang Qiang does not want to dampen the enthusiasm of the people.
