Chapter 829 West Georgia Prison
After the battle, Lu Cheng returned to the middle of the traffic jam, cleared the road completely, and asked others to continue searching the area to find some usable supplies.
After the search, the convoy drove out of the area and stopped to rest in an open area five kilometers ahead.
After arranging everything, Lu Cheng rode his horse, met up with Maggie who had been waiting in the woods, and headed to their farm.
The two of them rode their horses side by side. At this time, Maggie didn't know why she agreed to take this stranger she met for the first time to their farm.
After the zombie virus broke out, Maggie's farm did not encounter many zombies because it was located in a remote area far away from the town.
Maggie's mother and some other members of the farm turned into zombies and were locked in a hay shed on the farm. The entire farm temporarily lived in isolation from the world.
Lu Cheng and Maggie arrived at the farm, crossed a wide pasture, and saw the wooden house located on the edge of the farm, near the woods.
Soon, the people in the cabin also discovered Maggie and the stranger who was following her through the telescope. The family walked over directly, and one of the fat men was holding a shotgun in his hand.
"Dad, Otis, don't be nervous, I brought a friend back with me."
Everyone on the farm was relieved when they saw that Maggie showed no signs of being held hostage.
"Lu, this is my father, Hershel."
Lu Cheng greeted them politely and stated his purpose directly: "Hello, Mr. Hershel, I am Lu Cheng, the captain of a team of survivors. I came here to interview you today because I want to ask you something. Does anyone know the location of the West Georgia Prison?"
Hearing this, Hershel shook his head: "I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, I don't know the location of the West Georgia Prison."
At this time, the fat man Otis said, "Mr. Lu, I may know the West Georgia prison you are looking for. It is about 60 kilometers southeast of the farm, near a railway track. The place is surrounded by woods and is difficult for ordinary people to find.
I also knew where it was because I had a friend who worked as a prison guard there. If you go south along Highway 72 and come across the railroad tracks, just follow them southeast and you should be able to find it.”
"Thank you very much for your help, Mr. Otis. In return, I can give you some small gifts. Two more pieces of advice."
As he spoke, Lu Cheng casually took out a backpack that he had prepared in advance from his horse. The bag contained some red wine, cigarettes and other things.
"You're welcome. We're just giving you a piece of news."
“This news is very important to us. There are old people and children in my team, and they all need a stable shelter. You may not know yet, but the outside world has completely fallen. There is no government, no army, and there will be no rescue in the future.
Those who are still alive in such a world, if they want to continue to live, either unite together, or completely abandon morality and law and become robbers. Your farm is good and the location is remote enough. But it is best not to let other strangers know your specific location. Not everyone will maintain kindness and the bottom line of being a human being. Well, thank you for your help. "
Having said that, Lu Cheng waved at a few people, turned around and prepared to leave.
Seeing this, Maggie quickly followed and said, "Hey, Lu, are you really going to West Georgia Prison?"
Lu Cheng nodded: "Yes, and thank you for bringing me to the farm."
"That's nothing. Can you tell me more about the situation outside?"
In the two months since the virus outbreak, few people on the farm have gone out. Usually, Maggie rides out on horseback to look for supplies. She is more aware of the situation outside and wants to know more information.
"No problem. There are zombies everywhere outside now. Moreover, the zombies in the city are gradually spreading outward after they can't find food. Just like what you saw on the side of the road before, they roam around in groups, which is very dangerous.
In addition, our team has a professor from the Atlanta Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Their research has proven that zombies infected with the virus are already corpses, with only their brain stems still active. Even if their hearts are smashed or their heads are chopped off, their remaining heads will still bite people.
Just now I faintly heard the sound of zombies in the straw hut. There should be zombies locked up there, right? Excuse me for being blunt. You are like putting a bomb at the door of the room. This is not safe. Once they run out, they will indiscriminately attack any living creature they see. "
Maggie was also stunned when she heard this. Her father had always told them that those family members and employees were just sick, and they were still alive.
Now, hearing this news, Maggie finds it hard to accept it for a while.
Lu Cheng casually pulled out an M9 pistol from his waist, took out two magazines full of bullets, and handed them to Maggie: "Anyway, thank you for bringing me to the farm, and I wish you good luck. If one day you are in danger, you can also come to the prison to find us. We are going to build a shelter there, and welcome anyone who is willing to abide by the order to come and rebuild our home with us."
After saying that, Lu Cheng stuffed the gun and magazine into Maggie's hands and left.
Right now, the most important thing for Lu Cheng's team is to first find a shelter, stabilize, build defenses, and then collect supplies, gather more survivors, and start resuming planting to get everything back on track.
As for the Hershel family, they would not give up their farm easily before experiencing any changes. Lu Cheng did not have so much time to stay and persuade them to follow him.
However, once the shelter is established, we can try to get their family to join.
Hershel is an experienced doctor and farmer, and Otis is in charge of agricultural machinery on the farm. They are both useful talents.
As for Maggie, she is also a promising youngster who is efficient and has fighting talent and leadership ability.
In the end times, population is important, talent is more important, and time is equally important.
After returning to the road, Lu Cheng immediately led the team to continue heading southeast to the location of the prison.
More than half an hour later, everyone found the railway track that Otis mentioned, and then searched south along the track.
Fortunately, the road ahead was unobstructed. Although we encountered some zombies along the way, there were not many of them and it did not delay us for long.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, the group discovered a prison next to the abandoned railway track.
From the outside, the entire prison is located in the middle of a clearing in the forest and is located on a high slope.
The entire prison is surrounded by three layers of barbed wire, with an open area of about 500 meters around it and a large pond. The geographical location is very advantageous.
Moreover, there are four watchtowers around the square prison and a wall inside.
Except for a road leading to the outside world, the rest of the place is covered by trees. It is extremely hidden and indeed not easy to find. It is simply a natural doomsday shelter...
