A Journey Through the Worlds of Film and Television.

Chapter 839 Rick and Sean

The road back to Spark City was relatively smooth, and there were no traffic jams along the way. Although there were a few wandering zombies occasionally, they only provided Tara, who had recovered, with a few targets for shooting practice.

When the few people drove back to the shelter, it was just noon. Jim, who was on guard at the watchtower, spotted them first and asked Glenn to come over and open the door for them.

Lu Cheng and Lily drove the two cars directly into the yard and parked them next to a row of more than a dozen cars.

Glenn looked at the RV that Lu Cheng drove back from front to back and couldn't help but nod repeatedly: "Great car, Captain, where did you find it?"

"Don't worry about that for now. Go get everyone out and help move the things."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

At this moment, the people who were busy inside heard the noise outside and ran out one after another. Carl and a few other children rushed to the front.

Lu Cheng casually took out candy and beef jerky from his pocket and distributed them to the little ones. He smiled and said, "Karl, Sophia, I brought you a new friend. You must play with her well and don't tease your new friend. OK?"

Little Carl nodded immediately: "Of course, I promise you, Mr. Captain."

Lu Cheng straightened the police hat on Carl's head, ruffled Sophia's blonde hair, turned around and shouted into the car: "Hey, Megan, come out and meet your new friend."

Megan walked out of the car, hid behind Lu Cheng first, pulled the corner of Lu Cheng's clothes and glanced at Karl, Sophia and others, and then walked out with Lu Cheng's encouragement.

Seeing Megan staring at the doll in her hand, Sophia took the initiative to hand it over: "Hello, my name is Sophia, do you like my doll too? This is made by my mother. I can lend it to you to play with, but don't get it dirty."

"Thank you."

The two little girls, who were about the same age, soon started playing hand in hand.

Lily, who got off another car, saw this scene and smiled with relief. Then she warmly greeted everyone who came to move things.

Lu Cheng and Tara helped Richard, who had limited mobility, out of the car, and took a folding wheelchair from the RV, opened it, and let him sit on it.

Everyone came up to move things. Glenn and T-zai and a few others took all the long and short guns in the car into the special armory. Andrea, Jacqui, Amy and others helped to deliver various foods into the warehouse. Dr. Jenner took two people and delivered various medicines to the medicine warehouse in the infirmary.

At present, the Xinghuo City Medical Clinic only has one professional doctor, Lu Cheng, and one guest doctor, Dr. Jenner, who has a doctorate in biology and virology.

There is no way. Now Xinghuo City is short of people, and even more short of various professional talents. Many people have multiple jobs and have to move wherever they are needed.

By the time everyone had finished moving their things, today's lunch had already been prepared in the kitchen. Lu Cheng even cooked two more dishes himself.

A group of people were eating and chatting. After Lu Cheng introduced Tara's family to everyone, he began to ask about what had happened in the past two days.

"Yesterday, we found a lot of useful things on a farm in the east. In addition to the two farm machines parked outside, there were also a lot of seeds, enough for us to cultivate hundreds of acres of land."

"Yesterday afternoon, in the town you marked earlier, we found a lot of guns and bullets..."

"This morning, we found some zombies wandering in the woods two kilometers to the south. There weren't many of them, only about thirty or so. We killed them with crossbows and clubs, but no guns..."

"This morning we found a lot of building materials in the town to the east. We can use them to renovate houses and build walls..."

"Everyone has done a great job. Keep up the good work." After everyone finished speaking, Lu Cheng encouraged them. He turned around and saw old Dell seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he signaled with his eyes.

After dinner, Lu Cheng settled Tara's family down, and Carol and Amy also brought some new bedding.

When Amy learned that Tara was going to live in Lu Cheng's room, she was obviously a little disappointed, but she didn't say much.

At this time, in the vegetable planting area in the southwest of Xinghuo City, which was the original exercise area of ​​the prison, Lu Cheng looked at the old Dale in front of him and asked, "Dale, do you have anything to say?"

Dale hesitated for a moment before speaking: "It's the relationship between Sean, Rick, and Lori. Back at the quarry camp, before you and Rick arrived, Lori probably thought Rick was dead, so she had sex with Sean... I was the only one who knew about this at the time.

Recently, I found that Lori was a little abnormal. She must be pregnant. She even asked Glenn to bring her some abortion pills. Rick found out about this and they had a big fight. Maybe Lori herself didn't know whether the baby in her belly was Rick's or Sean's.

Yesterday afternoon, Rick and Sean had an argument while patrolling in the woods. I saw Sean pointed his gun at Rick through a telescope from the sentry tower. Fortunately, he didn't pull the trigger in the end.

I think this is a potential risk, Sean is too dangerous. In order to avoid tragedy, I think you should know this..."

Lu Cheng nodded: "Okay, I understand. Don't tell anyone else about this. I will take care of it."

In the afternoon, Lu Cheng came to the armory again and checked the reserves of guns and ammunition.

Today, Spark City has a stockpile of 853 long and short guns, mainly shotguns, civilian hunting rifles and various pistols. There are 269 military guns, more than 436 bullets of various types, and grenades. The arsenal is quite full.

In addition to these, there are also crossbows, dozens of bows and arrows, and many corresponding arrows.

This does not include some guns and ammunition that Lu Cheng placed in the storage space for his own use.

As for the various food reserves, they are enough to feed these thirty or forty people for more than ten years.

Even so, everyone never gave up searching for supplies and guns and ammunition.

After all, these supplies will become harder to obtain as time goes by, there will be more and more people in Spark City, and the consumption will become greater and greater.

After checking the inventory, Lu Cheng called out to Sean who was maintaining the guns: "Sean, bring your equipment and go out with me."

Sean put down the unfinished work in his hands, put on a tactical vest, took a Glock pistol and a Mossberg shotgun, and followed Lu Cheng out.

Sean drove the car and the two came to the small town 20 kilometers north of Starfire City where they met Michonne before. Lu Cheng first took Sean around the town and killed a few zombies that had recently wandered over. Then he said, "Sean, what do you think of this town?"

“The location is good, the surrounding area is spacious, but it is a bit small.”

"I plan to build a receiving station here and install a set of equipment to broadcast to the outside world and invite the survivors to come. When the survivors arrive here, we can examine them and bring those who are willing to abide by the order back to our Spark City.

As for those guys who are malicious or make a living by looting, we can get rid of them here, and avoid exposing the location of our Spark City. What do you think?"

Sean nodded: "That's a good idea."

"What do you think if I ask you to come here to guard every day?"

Upon hearing this, Sean realized something was wrong and turned to look at Lu Cheng.

"Sean, I don't want to get too concerned about the relationship between you, Rick, and Lori. But this matter cannot affect the stability of our Spark City."

Sean was silent for a moment: "So, am I exiled?"

"That's not the case. You still live in Spark City, but you need to come to this town every noon, stay here for an hour or two, send out broadcasts, and check if there are any survivors who have arrived."

Sean was relieved. "Rick and I are best friends, brother. I won't conflict with him."

"Whether you have any thoughts in your mind, no one knows, only you know clearly. In fact, even if the baby in Lori's belly is yours, do you think she will separate from Rick for you? Will she be willing to give up her current family?

No matter who the child belongs to, he will grow up healthy in Spark City, receive education, and have a safe living environment. You don't have to worry about that."

Sean nodded: "I accept the arrangement."

Sean has a fighting ability that is no less than Rick's. He is decisive in killing and is more suitable for survival in this doomsday. He is also good at teaching apprentices and is a good shooting instructor.

Of course, Sean also has a selfish side. When encountering danger, he is likely to abandon his teammates, or even shoot them, using their bodies to hold back the zombies and buy time for himself to escape.

But Lu Cheng is not afraid of using such subordinates, as he has the ability to control them.

In fact, Sean is just like More. If used well, they are both sharp knives.
