Chapter 166 Tara
It could be seen that the other party was a little nervous, but the family seemed pretty good. At least the little girl just now didn't look like a bad person. He simply took the lead and placed the weapon on the coffee table in front of him.
The girl moved over with a chair and immediately saw the weapons the three of them put on the table. She couldn't help but sigh: "Did you bring an arsenal with you?"
Morgan felt a little emotional. He sighed and said helplessly: "In today's world, no matter how many weapons you carry, you won't feel safe, right?"
The girl moved the back of the chair forward, then straddled the chair, put her arms on the back of the chair, and then looked at the three Ricks and said: "Introduce yourself! My name is Tara Chalms. My sister Lily, and my niece Megan, and that’s my dad Henry on the couch!”
"Rick Grimes."
"Morgan Jones."
"Guillermo, you can call me Aggie!"
Tara showed a cute smile, stretched out her little fist in front of the three of them, and looked at them expectantly.
The three of them looked at each other, but Aji was the first to react, reaching out to give her a fist bump. Morgan and Rick looked at each other and smiled, and also reached out to touch her. Tara nodded with satisfaction and asked curiously: " Why are you here?"
Rick waved his hand to interrupt Tara, and then said: "You have a lot of questions, but can I ask a few questions first?"
Tara was stunned when she heard this, and then nodded indifferently, indicating that Rick could just ask.
Rick glanced at a few people and then asked his three questions.
"How many zombies have you killed?"
Tara showed a recalling look and said with some uncertainty: "About a dozen."
"How many people have you killed?"
"We never kill anyone."
Everyone shook their heads in denial, as if they were afraid that the other party would misunderstand. Tara was about to raise her hands and swear, but heard Rick ask the last question again.
"Why?"
Rick first looked at Henry sitting on the sofa. He noticed that Henry seemed to have leg problems and was unable to move. He first smiled at Megan next to Henry, and then he said: "Mr. Henry, can I ask? , have you always lived here?”
Henry was actually a talkative person, but because of his leg disease, he didn't plan to speak at first, but gave up his rights to his little daughter. After all, he was the only man in the family, and he didn't want the other party to see that he had question.
But now that he saw Rick talking to him, Henry could no longer remain silent. He pretended to be nonchalant and said, "Yes, we have always lived here!"
Rick nodded slightly and his eyes fell on Megan, who had only half of her head exposed behind the sofa.
"Is this your granddaughter? What a beautiful girl!"
After saying that, Rick took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket and handed it to Megan.
"Megan, right? Do you want some chocolate?"
Megan's little head, which was originally huddled behind the sofa, poked out a little after seeing the chocolate. It seemed that she wanted it, but she hesitated and shrank back.
Lily on the side looked at her daughter with a distressed look on her face, and explained to Rick by the way: "Megan has gone through something and hasn't spoken to her for a long time!"
Rick was stunned. He was silent for a while and handed the chocolate in his hand to Lily before looking at Tara in front of him.
"Tara, I roughly understand your current situation. What I am going to say next is very important. I hope you will think about it carefully after listening to it."
Seeing Tara nodding in agreement, Rick also organized his words before speaking leisurely.
"I believe you are also curious about who we are. Let me briefly explain that I am indeed a policeman. After the end of the world, I gradually met a large group of friends. Morgan and Aggie were both friends I met at the beginning of the end of the world. Then We all worked together to establish a settlement. We organized out-of-town search activities every day, and the search range was getting farther and farther. This time we happened to pass by your town, and we saw Megan at the second-floor window. This is why we came up to look for her. Your reasons.”
Rick first explained why he came here, and then he revealed some information about the base.
After Rick finished everything, Tara looked at the three people dumbfounded. She didn't expect that the other party was so powerful, and the person in front of her turned out to be the leader of this force. She said in amazement.
"Oh my God! You mean you have hundreds of people under your command? They are all survivors like us! You still have a hospital? You also cultivate the land? You also raise livestock? God, you are like a country!"
Rick and the three of them all smiled. This little girl who was not experienced in the world just had a feeling of being close to others.
"They are not my subordinates! They are my family! And I am not the leader of the base. Our leader has other more important things to do, so he left and he probably won't be able to come back in a short time. That's why I was temporarily put in charge of the base. Everything big and small." After hearing Tara's description, Rick corrected her a little and said that he was not the leader.
Tara nodded silently, and Lily on the side suddenly spoke. She looked at Morgan sitting next to her and asked: "I have been listening to Officer Rick talking. Can Mr. Morgan tell me what he thinks about your settlement?" Feelings?”
Morgan was not surprised when his name was suddenly mentioned. A happy smile appeared on his face. He looked at Megan and spoke slowly: "I also have a son who is about the same age as your daughter, Dwyane. He Now my wife and I are safely staying in the settlement, so I have the courage to run out to collect supplies. From a personal perspective, I want to ensure that my family has enough food, clothing, and safety to live a safe life. Considering the interests of the base, I do. I also need to contribute my own strength. The people in the base are very kind. I am very grateful to them and all the people there, so I am willing to go out of the base to find supplies for everyone. I don’t know what you think about it?”
"I'm becoming more and more interested in the settlement you mentioned! I didn't expect you to build such a large settlement in just one year, and to develop the system to this extent!"
Henry, who had been silent all the time, suddenly spoke. As he spoke, he held Megan in his arms and stroked the girl's soft hair. There seemed to be a trace of reluctance in his eyes.
Aji on the side also spoke at an alarming speed: "Our captain is a very powerful person. If you have ever seen him, you will be shocked by him. Can you imagine a person who can speak ten foreign languages? He is also a very powerful person. A doctor who knows so much about everything! God, he is the most versatile person I have ever met.”
Morgan also nodded with deep understanding and continued: "If it weren't for him, our family would probably not be able to survive as early as the beginning of the apocalypse!"
"Me too! I just don't know how they are doing now."
Rick on the side also said with emotion when talking about Lu Jiayi.
Morgan said confidently: "Don't worry! The people in Lu Dai are all veterans, and with his abilities, there will definitely be no problem."
"He only brought two soldiers, Cass and Raphael, but left the rest to us, ugh!"
