Chapter 372: Infiltrate the CRM Branch?

As for Moore and his companions, after leaving the firefight site, they drove non-stop on the road for more than ten kilometers before they saw a small village.

After cleaning up carefully, I found a house and started preparing dinner.

It was already evening at this time. The candlelight in the house attracted the zombies in the village, but they were eliminated from a long distance by the guards on the roof of the car outside.

At this time, cold weapons showed their advantages in the dark and silence.

In the house, dozens of people occupied the floors of the rooms upstairs and downstairs. Many people who were tired after a day of work were eating, and some had already fallen asleep.

Charlie and several other women were still processing the fish that had not been cleaned during the day and pickling them. These fish were rare high-quality proteins and fat aggregates in the apocalypse, and they did not want to waste them at all.

Several team managers gathered around the candlelight in the living room, talking about the guys they met during the day.

Madison and her family all gathered together, even Travis, who had just lost his son. Although he looked extremely lonely, the rest of his family also gave him motivation to live.

He is a sentimental man, a good husband and a good father.

He has a strong sense of responsibility. Although he failed in his first marriage, even after the divorce, he still spent a lot of time on his ex-wife and son.

At the same time, I also established a good friendship with the two little ones, Alisa and Nick.

It can be said that if he had not encountered the end of the world and was given more time, he would probably have been able to truly integrate into this family.

But the virus took away his ex-wife, and several gangsters killed his son. Now all he has left are the Madison family, who are not related to him by blood. He is still trying to control his emotions, but he also knows that he is on the verge of collapse and can no longer withstand any more blows.

Human beings are such a strange animal. Everything is because of the existence of emotions. Emotions give humans the motivation to live and the meaning of life.

That's why Travis can sit here at this moment. Even though his mind is in a mess, he knows that Madison and the others need his support, so he came.

Moore skillfully took out a cigarette box from his trouser pocket and planned to light another cigarette for himself, but when he touched the box, he found that it was empty.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he casually crumpled the cigarette box into a ball and threw it into the fireplace beside him.

"Take this."

Miguel looked around, and suddenly, like a magician, he pulled out a freshly opened box of cigarettes from his pocket and was about to give one to Moore.

But he didn't expect that Moore's hands moved quickly and snatched the box of cigarettes from him.

"The little brat still knows how to smoke, he belongs to me."

Miguel looked at him speechlessly, his other hand subconsciously touching the other pocket, comforting himself in his heart.

It’s okay, there’s still one box left. You can see if I’ll give it to you next time.

However, just as he withdrew his hand, a slender little hand quickly reached into the pocket he had just touched. Before he could react, the unopened box of cigarettes had drawn an arc in the air and fell into Moore's hand again.

"Jessica! What are you doing?"

Jessica's face tightened and she reprimanded seriously.

"Didn't you hear what the old man said? Children can't smoke."

"But I'm almost twenty-two!"

"That won't work either!"

Moore got two boxes of cigarettes at once and subconsciously smiled at the little girl.

This smile made the little girl shiver uncontrollably, and she accidentally said out loud what she had been muttering in her heart.

"Besides, smoking will lead to early death. I only have a few years left to live. By then I will be free, hehe."

After she finished speaking, she stole a glance at Moore, only to find that he was glaring at her fiercely. The people nearby also looked at her strangely. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have just said what was in her heart.

"Oh, I'm...sleepy. I'm going to sleep first."

After saying that, she ran upstairs in a flash. People could still hear the little girl whispering as she ran.

"It's bad, it's bad, the old man heard it, it's terrible, terrible!"

Several people looked at the little girl's leaving figure with a helpless smile, and they were envious of her position in Moore's heart. If this happened to someone else, they might have been kneeling on the ground counting their teeth by now. After all, Moore was really not a good guy.

"Ahem, okay, let's talk about our next itinerary."

Alan clapped his hands to attract people's attention. Seeing that everyone was looking at him, he nodded at Moore and took out a map from his backpack.

"Moir and I used our break time to study carefully and roughly planned the next route. According to Lu's request, it doesn't matter even if we don't find the target. We can just gather a group of survivors in these places and bring them back directly."

Madison couldn't help but lean over to take a look at the map and discovered that it was a detailed map of Texas and its surrounding areas.

A line was drawn on the map, connecting many surrounding places, and some locations were marked with stars.

"Can I ask you a question?"

With the mentality of being responsible for her own people, Madison took the initiative to speak. She pointed to the stars on the map and asked.

"What are these?"

…

While Moore and his team were struggling in Texas, something big was happening in the suburbs of Atlanta.

A line of five armored vehicles led the way, followed by two large transport vehicles carrying a tank and an armed helicopter.

In an armored vehicle in the center of the team.

"This is the enemy's firepower distribution map, but everyone should know that the difficulty of this mission is not to save people, but how to do it as quickly as lightning."

"We will be faced with a choice. Either we use drastic measures to defeat them in the shortest possible time. Or we can infiltrate them. I will then lead a small team to sneak in and rescue them silently."

"No matter what we choose, the ultimate goal is to prevent the other side from reporting more information to their superiors."

At this point, Lu Jiayi's expression became noticeably serious. He solemnly patted the map in his hand and his voice became much louder.

"Everyone knows that once we are exposed, we cannot afford the other side's retaliation, so I personally prefer to infiltrate. As long as the other side can't figure out our details, we still have time to plan the development direction of the base."

There was a brief silence in the car until Rick spoke.

"Lu, are you sure that the other party will attack us immediately once they find us?"

"I can guarantee that once my organization knows that your force has strong combat power but is short of manpower, the upper echelons will definitely choose to eliminate you. At that time, all the wealth you have worked so hard to accumulate will become theirs."

The one who answered Rick was Ashley who was captured not long ago. Her injuries had not healed yet, and you could vaguely see the bandages wrapped under her clothes. She had short red hair and looked a little ordinary, but the loose military uniform could not hide her slender and fit figure.

Lu Jiayi also nodded, indicating that he agreed with her statement.

The others looked at each other, and Daryl was the first to speak.

"We'll listen to you. If you want to sneak in, count me in."

"Count me in, too."

"Me too."

Looking at the companions in front of him who had shared the joys and sorrows with him, Lu Jiayi couldn't help but smile, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.

"Let's go for it!"
