Chapter 242 Dark Zone
When Zhang Qiang traveled through time, the subsequent plot of Janedis had not yet appeared with the Walking Dead spin-off series "The Walking Dead".
To put it simply, Janedis is the current boss of the garbage dump. She is a white woman with short hair and is nearly forty years old.
Janedis has no bottom line for survival, double-dealing, and unscrupulous means are her synonyms. At the same time, she is a non-staff member of the powerful military organization "Three Rings".
The Three Rings are the army of the Civic Republic, and currently have no intersection with the Destiny Front. In the next few years, the Three Rings will control three complete cities and have a population of nearly 300,000.
With the emergence of the Destiny Front, the original timeline of the Walking Dead world has been completely changed. Zhang Qiang's God's perspective is losing its effect, and he himself is also very clear about this.
Thinking of Jadis, Zhang Qiang naturally thought of Rick. The last time Rick appeared in the drama was when he was rescued by Jadis. At that time, many fans speculated that Jadis had contacted the US government.
Zhang Qiang was not clear about Janedis's background, but there was no doubt that after Laura mentioned the garbage dump again, Zhang Qiang remembered the mysterious Janedis and put her on the investigation list.
The Law of the Dark Forest is very applicable in The Walking Dead. Except for the super-monster Destiny Position, other forces rarely expose themselves to the outside world, let alone actively publicize themselves.
The Destiny Base has been developing in Zuozhou because Zhang Qiang has opened his eyes and knows that there is no super power in Zuozhou.
Zhang Qiang listened quietly to the discussion between Laura and Negan, carefully recalled the plot of the later period of The Walking Dead, and checked for suspicious human forces.
He focused too much energy on fighting the mutated zombies and gradually ignored the powerful enemies in the human camp outside of Zuozhou.
Zhang Qiang frowned. The Ten Thousand People Federation is one of the powerful forces that will surely emerge in the future, but they are no match for the Destiny Position. The other side does not have many war machines, while the Destiny Position already has an armored combined division.
The Destiny Camp has no reason to fight the Ten Thousand People Federation for the time being. The two sides are separated by several states, and they cannot fight at all in the doomsday when resources are scarce.
However, this kind of large human camp will inevitably be the target of the Destiny Front in the future, and the plan to annex the Ten Thousand People Federation must be put on the agenda.
As the leader of the garbage dump, Jadis probably already knows that the Savior has been incorporated into the Destiny Front. The mysterious force behind her is a potential threat. Zhang Qiang decided to let Negan's Savior take the lead to test it and see Jadis's reaction.
"Negan, I need you to do something."
Zhang Qiang knocked on the table and spoke slowly. Negan and Laura looked at him at the same time.
"Go and bring back the leader of the garbage dump, no matter what method you use. I will support you." Zhang Qiang said.
A lean camel is bigger than a horse. In the original series, the Junkyard has never dared to confront Negan. Their weapons and equipment are very primitive, to put it bluntly, it is just a pile of garbage. There are only a few guns for nearly a hundred people.
Negan was a little confused, but he agreed to Zhang Qiang's request. Now he was Zhang Qiang's subordinate in name, and he dared not disobey.
"Okay, do you want me to kill all the scavengers?"
Negan hesitated and said something that was contrary to his original intention. He looked down on the garbage dump community that contributed to the Savior Church, but he also didn't want to massacre the scum inside.
"Whatever you want, I just want the boss of the garbage dump. Just bring her back."
After Zhang Qiang finished speaking, he asked Negan for people and cars. He wanted to go to the Alexandria community to meet the members of the Pioneer team.
Negan asked a Savior to find a pickup truck, and Zhang Qiang, Wasp, and two of his soldiers went to Alexandria together.
The drive took a little long and the sky was getting dark, but once Zhang Qiang got into work mode, he would do it regardless of day or night.
The post-disaster doomsday is full of unknown dangers, zombies in the dark, survivors waiting for an opportunity. Those who dare to act at night are all survival veterans, not to mention the elite soldiers of the Destiny Position.
On the road illuminated by car lights, zombies walking aimlessly often appear. Washington is not like Georgia. This is still a place occupied by zombies.
The Savior Army driver skillfully drove the car to avoid the zombies. He sat in the passenger seat and let the soldiers in full gear enjoy the fresh air in the back compartment.
Zhang Qiang yawned in boredom, and occasionally praised the driver's driving skills. The driver was a white man in his thirties. Although he knew that Negan was very respectful to Zhang Qiang, he personally didn't like Zhang Qiang very much.
The Salvation Army values the strong, or rather, every post-disaster community is like this, and only such communities can continue to survive.
The driver's attitude towards Zhang Qiang was neither warm nor cold, and Zhang Qiang didn't care. As long as they didn't deliberately offend him, he didn't care about these insignificant characters at all.
"Are you a member of the management of that powerful force?" the driver suddenly asked Zhang Qiang.
Zhang Qiang took out a cigarette box, lit it lazily, then took out a cigarette and asked the driver, "A whole one?"
The driver's eyes lit up, and he freed one hand to take the cigarette and put it in his mouth. Zhang Qiang also lit it for him.
"I am the one who built the great power you mentioned."
Zhang Qiang exhaled a puff of smoke and suddenly spoke calmly.
"Cough cough cough cough!" The driver suddenly started coughing violently.
The yellow-skinned man in front of me didn't look tall or strong, but he said something shocking when he opened his mouth.
Those who can lead forces after a disaster are all tough guys, let alone those who have suppressed the forces of the Salvation Church.
The driver understood a little bit. No wonder Negan was so humble.
"So you used to be a high-ranking government official?" the driver asked tentatively.
If one had the capital before the disaster, then it would be understandable to establish a large force like the Destiny Front.
Zhang Qiang shook his head and denied it, "No, I started from scratch, so everyone thinks highly of me and is willing to stay with me."
Anyway, the cheats were only released after the disaster, so it can't be considered as showing off, Zhang Qiang thought to himself.
The driver was silent for a moment, he felt that his attitude just now was a bit presumptuous. When he thought of Zhang Qiang lighting his cigarette, he suddenly felt a little proud and at the same time more respectful to Zhang Qiang.
The attitudes between people ultimately depend on status, identity, and strength. In the end times, strength plays a large role.
Zhang Qiang glanced at the rearview mirror and noticed that the soldiers were sitting in the rear compartment, freezing and windy, maintaining a professional posture. He knocked on the rear window and scolded:
"Wasp, wasp, what's going on? You are all old people who follow me, and you are bringing your juniors along with you?"
Wasp and Hornet were both wearing masks. They immediately relaxed when they heard the words, leaning against the carriage, and each of them rummaged through their pockets, took out cigarettes and candies and distributed them to the other soldiers.
"That's right, with me here, there will be no accidents."
Zhang Qiang smiled confidently. Rather than saying that the soldiers came to protect him, it would be more accurate to say that he was protecting the soldiers. He would feel sad if these loyal soldiers were injured or sacrificed.
The atmosphere in the car was good, everyone started bragging, and Zhang Qiang was happy to tell the driver about the previous battles at the Tianming position. The driver was so shocked that he kept swearing, as the Tianming position had seen too many big scenes.
Zhang Qiang was smiling, when suddenly, a hint of yellow appeared at the edge of his vision. He immediately put away his smile and turned his head sharply to look out the window.
The passive skill [High Alert] takes effect, which means that there are hostile targets watching him in the darkness on the roadside.
The yellow prompt effect quickly disappeared, and Zhang Qiang looked at the pitch-black wilderness with a frown on his face.
"What's wrong?" The driver noticed that something was wrong with Zhang Qiang and asked immediately.
"There are enemies."
Before Zhang Qiang finished speaking, the soldiers in the back compartment retracted their positions, picked up their guns and prepared for battle.
"Don't be nervous, he's not following."
Zhang Qiang spoke up to remind everyone that he was not sure whether it was a human, a zombie, or a mutated zombie.
Although Zhang Qiang was not afraid of fighting at night, there was no need for him to stop the car to fight with the hiding enemies and become a sitting duck for the enemy to attack first.
Zhang Qiang's eyesight has improved to the level of a sniper, or even slightly better, but that doesn't mean he can see at night.
"Speed up." Zhang Qiang urged the driver.
Zhang Qiang is the only one with the mission-ready physique on this car, so it would be very dangerous for him to be attacked by surprise.
The pickup truck accelerated on the highway. Zhang Qiang stared at the road ahead. The only dangerous factor now was the road in front of him. The frontal vision could not trigger [high alert].
