Capítulo 20: Chess Pieces Are There to be Fooled
Barson City was the most prosperous city in the southeast.
After a day in Sky Capital City, Johansson took a private jet and returned to Barson.
If it wasn't for the fact that Kerry City hadn't had any problems for a long time, he wouldn't have made a trip there. After all, Barson City was his base.
This city's wealth could be ranked in the top three of all the cities in the Sky Capital Alliance.
But of course, this trip was not without any gains. At least, the beauties in Sky Capital City were slightly different from those in Barson City. The young women there seemed to be more enthusiastic.
Of course, he could understand the tension in the other regions of the Sky Capital Alliance. There had been no problem for three years, but the sudden accident had made everyone's loose string tense.
The Sky Capital Alliance was only one of the powers on this planet. The other alliances had to show their attitude in order to make use of this matter.
To him, worrying about Kerry City was obviously making a mountain out of a molehill.
With the drones, the high walls, and the army stationed outside the city, there would be no problems in Kerry City.
This time, the city wall was blown up partly because of the foggy weather conditions.
Otherwise, that group of people would have long been taken care of by the automatic firearms and drones deployed on the high wall. How could they get close to the high wall?
Now that he was back in Barson city, Roy's idea came to his mind.
In the entire Sky Capital Alliance, the south could be said to be the richest region, much richer than the southeast where he was.
The entire Royle family loved to make clothes with gold threads, and he had always looked down on the nouveau riche.
He was a little concerned about Roy's idea of making money.
Now that the results of the voting were out, the majority of the people in his southeast region opposed the rescue of the survivors of Kerry City.
In Roy's opinion, fear was the best opportunity to reap wealth. For the safety of everyone, he could get the people to donate weapons and equipment to create defenses such as a protective net to surround the city.
He could start a donation campaign and ask the people to donate for drones to monitor the situation in Kerry City.
They could also start a donation to set up the foundation for the complete destruction of Kerry City. If everyone could donate enough to use an atomic bomb, the dream of completely destroying the zombies would no longer be just a dream.
Other than the first one, the latter two would need them to share their benefits.
When the drones were first released, the other four families had also donated a sum of money. Now, the distribution of benefits must be based on the original donation.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to broadcast the drones live.
As for the establishment of the foundation, this would definitely need to be negotiated again. The use of an atomic bomb would definitely not be agreed upon without the consent of the five families.
Only by using the Sky Capital Alliance's identity as a backing would he be able to amass more wealth.
Johansson would be lying if he said that he did not feel heartache at the thought of having to split his own money.
But, putting aside the drones and the foundation to destroy Kerry City, the donation of weapons and defense network could start first, and there could even be some warm-up for this act.
As long as there were benefits to be had, all the members of the Johnson family would agree.
Therefore, the cities closest to Kerry City was bombarded by the local media.
Karon City, Sua City, and Lipok City - these three cities were in a state of defense against Kerry City, so the newspapers, TV, and online forums once again broadcasted the relevant topics.
In the newspaper, there was an article titled "The young man walks into the high wall, looking forward to revenge once again!" The article appeared in the headlines.
In Karon City, an old man who had just finished a square dance was sitting on the steps with a newspaper.
After he was done smoking his pipe, he leisurely opened the newspaper, planning to see what strange things had happened today so that he could brag to his family.
However, after looking at the headline and roughly reading the content, he threw the pipe away.
"Not good! The zombies in Kerry City are coming out."
"We're finished! We're really finished!"
At this moment, his system seemed to have returned to the vigor it had when it was young. He did not care even his its shoes were to fly off.
This fear spread throughout the city.
If Kerry City's high wall collapsed, the first to be affected would be Carter City. The distance between Carter City and Kerry City's high wall was only twenty miles. It would take less than half an hour.
In less than an hour, the plane and train tickets to leave Carter City were almost all sold out.
On the internet, after being unable to leave Carter City, everyone was cursing the young man who had walked out of the high wall and the survivors of Kerry City.
"They clearly knocked him down at that time. Why didn't they just kill him directly?"
"In my opinion, that young man turned into a zombie at that time. Otherwise, why would he run back?"
"Is there any chance to catch him? Just kill him directly!"
"Can you kill all the survivors in Kerry City? I think they are not safer than zombies. Zombies can't blow up walls. Those survivors will want to drag us down with them."
"What about the Johnson family? Why aren't they coming out now? The high wall is obviously fragile, so why don't they add another wall?"
"We should have deployed the most powerful weapons outside of Kerry City."
"How can one wall be enough? Let's have three more. If they blow up one wall, we'll be able to find them and get rid of them in time."
Compared to Kerry City's original population of three million, the surrounding cities had more than ten million people. Regardless of men or women, old or young, they all began to feel terrified.
They even felt that survivors were scarier than zombies.
They felt that plague was more reliable than the so-called compatriots.
At the same time.
Many television stations broadcasted similar programs.
On the television, a white-haired professor appeared in front of a host.
"Let's welcome Professor Luca. He's a famous professor at the nearby Barson University. He has published dozens of papers on zombies and has a lot of say about the current zombie situation. Our news group specially invited him to come over and say a few words."
The female host in a suit introduced the old professor in front of her.
"Hello, everyone. I would like to thank our government first. The construction of the high walls of Kerry City basically locked the zombies in a cage, preventing 99% of the danger from the existence of zombies."
"After all, after the wall was erected, the air flow in Kerry City was stabilized. The virus basically can't spread beyond the 100-meter wall. As for the various firearms in front of the wall, they can kill the zombies in a large area, basically eliminating the possibility of zombies coming out."
"The only uncertain factor now is the survivors inside the high wall. Their existence makes the defense of the high wall no longer so safe. We have to strengthen the defense and even install infrared sensing on the wall to prevent survivors from approaching."
In front of the TV, Johansson held a glass of red wine in his hand and watched the professor on the TV with a smile on his face.
The professor had a close relationship with the Johnson family, so he wouldn't say anything that wasn't beneficial to the family. Just as he asked, the professor basically directed everyone's attention to the other survivors in the city.
To him, the young man who had blown up the high wall and walked in and out was not important at all.
He was just an insignificant member of the survivors. He was just lucky to get to the high wall and blow a hole in it.
As the ruler of the southeast region, how could Kerry City be out of his control?
In the City of Kerry, a large number of survivors were under his control.
Those people didn't need to search for supplies because he would deliver them regularly. The only thing they needed to do was to help him with some chores.
To those people, Kerry City was a paradise that was much more comfortable than the outside.
At first, they were just gangsters in the city who could only fight for food.
When the zombies appeared in Kerry City, one of the gangsters became the leader of the group, and with his support, he became the overlord of the survivor colony.
There were no laws there, and one could do whatever they wanted.
It was somewhat similar to his current self.
Those people were naturally happy to become his tentacles in Kerry City, helping out with some chores.
Of course, whether it was the group of people inside the wall, the zombies inside the wall, or the people outside the wall, they were all his pawns.
The most important thing was to bring him benefits. The life and death of the chess piece was not important.
So, he was even somewhat grateful for that youth's appearance. If not for him, there would not have been such a suitable opportunity to harvest more from the people.
The Johnson family's treasury should be more abundant after this incident.
