Chapter 373 Begin Action

Atlanta is very cold in February, the kind of dry cold. There is little precipitation in this month and it is relatively dry. The temperature difference between day and night is more than ten degrees, and it can even drop to around zero degrees at night.

It can be said that one of the biggest challenges of survival in this season is staying warm.

The people in Ideal Town do not have such worries at this time. Thanks to the establishment of the power grid, everyone can spend a warm winter. They no longer need to light a fire in the room to keep warm, and they are also spared the pain of being choked by thick smoke.

Eugene was sitting on a chair in the new communications room wearing a thin shirt, holding a cup of freshly brewed coffee in his hand. White mist was floating, and a faint fragrance filled the room.

The midday sun shines through the window onto the ground, as if covering the house with a layer of golden coating.

"Hey, Eugene, you're so rude. Don't you even know to make me a cup? Isn't our friendship worth a cup of coffee?"

"Doug, do you know what a cup of hot coffee means in the apocalypse? Three grams of coffee powder of this purity plus two hundred milliliters of water can provide me with nearly one hundred milligrams of caffeine, which will keep me energetic for the next few hours..."

"Stop, stop, stop! No, no! Stop it. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have brought up this topic. I'll go get it myself right away."

Seeing that Eugene was about to start another long speech, Doug suddenly felt his scalp swelling and quickly waved his hand to ask for mercy. His originally lazy state was suddenly perked up, and his body stood up like a fully wound spring.

Eugene watched fat Doug leave the room expressionlessly, then a smug smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Since arriving in Idealtown, Eugene feels like he has arrived in paradise, a community that the more you get to know, the less you want to leave.

Excellent leaders, friendly survivors, and even a scientific research team, except for that scary red-haired burly man who always looks at him with resentment, but it can be said that this place is the Noah's Ark in the end times.

"I might as well spend this time looking at more useful things. As long as I am capable enough, there is no reason for me to leave."

Eugene took a sip of the rich, milky coffee and smacked his lips with enjoyment. Then he picked up a half-read book beside him.

Dong Dong Dong.

"Eugene, sorry to bother you."

Before he could calm down, the door was pushed open and in walked Lucille with a big belly. She was just two months old when she first arrived in Ideal Town. Now another half a year has passed and her belly is getting bigger and bigger.

"Lucille! Oh, sit down."

Eugene stood up immediately and wanted to support the other person, but when he stretched out his hand, he saw Beth following behind him.

He subconsciously withdrew his hands, but his hands were still unconsciously stirring the hem of his clothes. His awkward look made the two women laugh.

It took him a few seconds to realize that both parties were standing, and he hurriedly pushed Doug's chair over.

"Please take a seat."

Then he looked at Beth who was standing there again, and just as he was about to push his chair over, the girl refused, so he sat down embarrassedly.

Feeling the familiar seat, Eugene's awkwardness finally eased a little.

"You look much better. Lu is really an amazing doctor."

"Yeah, I really want to thank him very much, except for the awful-tasting liquid medicine. Now I want to vomit when I smell it."

When talking about her illness, a trace of fear flashed across Lucille's face, but it was replaced by a smile the next second. She stroked her belly and the smile on her face became even wider.

Eugene also smiled when he saw her actions.

"It's been more than eight months. This is the second baby in the base. It seems that the day when humans defeat the zombies is not far away. After all, those monsters can't give birth to children, haha."

Eugene's joking words made Lucille's smile fade.

"Eugene, this is why I came here today. You know I'm going to give birth in about two months, but Negan went out with Maul. I haven't seen him for half a year, so I would like you to help me contact him, even if it's just to talk. Is that okay with you?"

Lucille looked at him hopefully, and Eugene suddenly didn't know what to do.

Lu Jiayi did tell him that ordinary townspeople were not allowed to touch radio equipment at will, not because he was simply afraid of traitors.

The main thing is that once non-directional radio waves like this are sent out, you have no way of being sure who will receive the signal. If they reveal some information between the lines, it will be a huge safety hazard to both the base and the personnel going out.

Therefore, we must pay special attention to the wording during every call to ensure the safety of everyone.

Eugene looked embarrassed as he kept his eyes moving back and forth between Lucille and the radio station. Deep down, he really wanted to compromise once. At the same time, he also understood that if he did so, the little bit of status he had worked so hard to build up during this period would inevitably collapse in an instant.

In the end, timidity overcame sympathy. Eugene, whose face turned red, stammered for a while, but finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, Lu has repeatedly told me not to let other people get in touch with the radio station. I really can't help you."

"Then can you help me contact Lu? I heard that he took people out, otherwise I wouldn't come here to tell you this."

"Uh, didn't you know about this?"

"What's the meaning?"

"Lu is leading everyone to rescue people. Maybe now is not a good time to contact him."

Lucille sighed in disappointment, and glanced unwillingly at the exquisite-looking radio on the table, with a gleam of desire in her eyes. But in the end, she still politely thanked him and left.

"Wait, if you don't mind, you can tell me what you want to say, maybe I can convey it for you."

"Thank you, Eugene. You are such a nice person. But I just wanted to talk to him. Since it is not convenient now, forget it."

After Lucille left, Doug also came out with coffee.

"Dude, you're doing the right thing. This is just a simple mission for us, don't mess it up."

Hearing these words that sounded like a warning, Eugene just nodded subconsciously.

"Oh, Doug, can you do me a favor?"

"you say."

"Can you help me get a book from the library? The time is almost up and I can't leave here."

"Well, you guy...I really don't know what you do every day."

…

"Lu, we're ready and can go at any time."

"Let's go."

Led by Ashley, Lu Jiayi and his team arrived at CRM's temporary base.

"Ashley, is this the place?"

"Yes, unless they have changed their base during this time."

Lu Jiayi didn't say anything when he heard this, but just nodded to show that he understood, and at the same time began to observe the surrounding environment.

The other party chose a very good location. This is an industrial area on the north side of the city. The original building density was not high. The other party also deliberately chose a factory surrounded by a wall. The nearest buildings around it are dozens of meters away from their outer walls, plus the open space in the yard.

If you want to sneak in without being discovered, you have to cross an open area of ​​at least two hundred meters and climb over a wall on the way.

“It’s not easy…”
