A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 861 Kingdom of God

The next morning, after Lu Cheng had the breakfast prepared by Jessie, he also gave Jessie some pointers on her cooking skills, teaching her how to make Chinese delicacies such as pancakes and fried buns.

Near noon, Lu Cheng suddenly received a message from Daryl that their exploration team had already contacted the two shelters on the top of the mountain in the Kingdom of God, and were trying to persuade them to join the Spark City Alliance.

The Kingdom of God and Hilltop Village are both shelters located in the north.

The Shanding Village was built in an independent historical museum on the top of a mountain. The population was not large, and the number of warriors was not large. They had blacksmiths who could forge various shields and spears to use cold weapons to deal with zombies. In addition, the Shanding Village also achieved self-sufficiency in food by planting.

As for the Kingdom of God on the other side, it was established by an animal manager before the end of the world. It has gathered more than 200 people, planted grains and vegetables on a large scale, has abundant food reserves, and has a certain amount of military strength.

According to the news sent back by Daryl, the leader of Hilltop Village, Gregory, made a request. They are being exploited by another organization, the Savior Army. If Spark City can send troops to wipe out the Savior Army, Hilltop Village can join Spark City.

As for King Ezekiel of the Kingdom of God, he wanted to meet Lu Cheng, the leader of Xinghuo City.

Lu Cheng ignored the leader of the mountaintop village. From the original drama, he was a cowardly, capricious, selfish and despicable villain. He himself did not dare to resist the Savior Army, and instigated the protagonists to attack the Savior Army without providing any intelligence support, causing the protagonists to suffer the heaviest losses without knowing the enemy's strength. After that, the guy immediately sold out the protagonists and begged for mercy in front of the Savior Army.

However, King Ezekiel was indeed a very good ruler and manager. Being able to protect a place in such indifference, making all the residents respect him from the bottom of their hearts, willing to take bullets for him, and even unwilling to betray him at gunpoint, not only requires personal charm, but also requires truly caring for everyone.

Therefore, Lu Cheng also prepared to meet the king in person.

The next morning, Lu Cheng took a small team on a helicopter and flew directly to the Kingdom of God.

When the residents of God's Kingdom saw the helicopter flying in the sky, they were all surprised.

After the apocalypse broke out, communications were cut off, water and electricity were already cut off in many places, and even the airplanes that were often seen in the sky before had not appeared for a long time.

The appearance of the two helicopters made all the residents of God's Kingdom feel as if they were in another world.

At the same time, King Ezekiel, who had learned the news in advance, had already brought his guards, waiting for the arrival of Lu Cheng and others.

As the two Black Hawk helicopters slowly landed, Ezekiel and his escort were deeply shocked by the 30mm machine guns, Gatling guns, and rocket pods loaded with rockets on the helicopters, as if they were country guerrillas seeing the elite regular army of a great power.

The rest did not require much words. King Ezekiel adjusted his attitude and greeted him enthusiastically: "Mr. Lu, welcome to the Kingdom of God."

The king in front of him was wearing a gorgeous medieval dress, holding a scepter in his hand, and had a head full of silver-white dreadlocks. Coupled with his black appearance, it seemed a bit incongruous.

However, Lu Cheng also reached out his hand and shook hands with the other party before speaking: "Mr. Ezekiel, you are indeed worthy of praise for being able to protect so many people and keep them alive in such a world. It can be seen that your people must love you very much."

"I have only done some insignificant things for them. They are the ones who made me what I am, so I will naturally do my best to protect them. Mr. Lu, please follow me. I will take you to have a good tour of my kingdom of God."

The location of the Kingdom of God was originally a theater on the edge of the city, where musicals and concerts were often performed.

However, the theater has now become the palace of King Ezekiel. He always likes to bring his pet tiger, sit on the throne on the stage, and receive his people and outsiders.

Of course, after seeing Lu Cheng’s two helicopters, Ezekiel did not act like a king, but enthusiastically showed Lu Cheng around.

Everything here was peaceful, some were busy tending to vegetables and fruits, others were busy making various utensils. Everyone stopped to salute when they saw their king coming, and at the same time they all looked at Lu Cheng curiously.

After taking a walk around here, Ezekiel brought Lu Cheng to the big theater and started discussing business.

"Mr. Lu, I already know the conditions proposed by your Spark City representative. To be honest, I also want to bring my people to join your Spark City so that they can get more favorable protection and live a stable life.

However, the Savior Army is very powerful, and we in the shelters cannot resist it at all. If Mr. Lu only has these two helicopters, I am afraid he may not be able to deal with the Savior Army. May I ask you, how many troops do you have in Xinghuo City? How many weapons?"

Lu Cheng smiled slightly and glanced at Lieutenant William beside him. William immediately stepped forward and began to introduce: "Mr. Ezekiel, the strength of our Spark City is far beyond your imagination. We have two thousand professionally trained soldiers, a helicopter unit, a tank company, an artillery company, and a mechanized infantry company. I wonder how many people are in the Salvation Army you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Ezekiel stood up and said, “Mr. Lu, is what this officer said true?”

"Ezekiel, there's no need for us to come all the way here to lie to you. Besides, we're going to clean up the zombies in the entire state of West Virginia, and we're going to use at least a battalion of troops. When the time comes, you can go and see how our regular army cleans up the zombies and takes back the city!"

"Okay! I am looking forward to this day. As long as all this is true, I am willing to lead my people to join Spark City. As for the Savior Army, we don't know their exact number. But what is certain is that they have at least 100 troops.

Moreover, the leader of the Saviors, Negan, is quite cunning, sinister and vicious. Every time they find a shelter, they usually send a lot of people to surround it, and then randomly kill one or two people in the shelter to intimidate others and make them surrender.

After that, those shelters had to pay half of their supplies to the Salvation Army every month. As for how much this half was, it was entirely up to the Salvation Army. Sometimes, they would even empty other people's warehouses and force them to find more supplies for them. And these tributes were only exchanged for the old army to stop attacking us...

The Saviors have a strict hierarchy, and Negan is the absolute boss, and his word is final. He also has a group of fierce guys under him, who are responsible for looting and conquering other shelters for him. In addition, there are a large number of workers who work for them in exchange for food to fill their stomachs...

If Spark City can wipe out the Saviors, all nearby shelters will be willing to join Spark City."
