Chapter 331: Check in to the prison and draw the time gem
"We did have a zombie crisis in our prison, and we suffered heavy casualties."
Rick nodded reluctantly.
Given their current situation, they couldn't hide it even if they wanted to, so they just admitted it.
"It is so." A look of sudden enlightenment flashed across the Governor's face.
Rick then said, "But now the zombies have been cleared out."
"Cleaned up? You think I'll believe you?" The Governor's eyes were cold and unmoved, and he thought to himself: Do you really think I'm so stupid? If the zombie crisis is over, why did you and the remaining people rush to evacuate?
"What Rick said is true. We can all guarantee that there are no living zombies in there." Glenn stepped forward and vouched for Rick. Of course, his guarantee was limited to this. As for other aspects, they were not within the scope of his guarantee.
"I can guarantee that too."
"I can do the same."
"We can guarantee it."
"That's right. If you don't believe me, you can send someone in to check. There will definitely be no zombies."
Seeing this, everyone stood up to support Rick, and they all hoped to leave this place as soon as possible.
Now it is the end of the world, and the hatred of killing a daughter is irreconcilable. How dare they entrust their lives to the other party's mercy?
"Looking at their appearance, they don't seem to be lying."
Inside the tank, a man wearing a military cap stuck his head out and spoke.
"It's not up to them to say whether they lied or not. Tara, go in and find out."
The Governor was skeptical and gave an order to one of his men.
"I... me?"
The woman whose name was called out looked timid. After all, this was the enemy camp, and the atmosphere was tense. What if she ran into something unexpected?
"What, is there a problem?"
The Governor glared at her fiercely, his eyes full of threats and warnings.
Tara didn't dare say anything more.
"Don't worry, we have tanks to support us. If they dare to touch you, we will immediately blow open the door and avenge you."
The Governor patted her shoulder in reassurance.
"Yes."
Tara reluctantly accepted the order, left the camp, and walked towards the door cautiously, her heart full of worry.
Unexpectedly, Rick and others did not stop her and let her in.
Tara walked slowly and nervously at first, but after entering the prison, she thought that if the other party really wanted to attack her, she would be doomed, so she was no longer afraid and walked quickly into the prison.
Soon, Tara walked out of the prison.
"What's the situation? Are they lying?"
The Governor was puzzled when he saw Tara enter and exit so smoothly, so he asked.
"No, all the zombies inside are dead."
Tara shook her head and answered in the affirmative.
"These guys didn't lie?"
The governor's eyes were full of confusion. The matter was going too smoothly, which made him suspicious.
"But..." Tara hesitated to speak.
"But what?" the Governor demanded.
"The doors and windows of the prison inside are almost completely destroyed and are piled up in front of a cell. The situation is a bit strange." Tara hesitated for a moment, but still expressed her doubts truthfully.
"Huh! The cells are all destroyed? No wonder they gave up the prison so easily. But as long as the walls are still there, the condition of the cells won't affect the prison's defense."
The Governor was slightly stunned when he heard this, frowned slightly, and then relaxed.
After a little thought, I roughly understood why these people gave up the prison so readily. I guess it was because the rooms inside had little defense capabilities.
However, as long as the guardrails on the prison's outer wall remain intact, there will be no problem.
"Now, can we leave?"
Rick asked anxiously when he saw the Governor's brow relax.
No one knows when Chu Xuan will show up, so they must evacuate this place as soon as possible.
"of course can."
The Governor smiled and nodded in agreement.
When Rick and the others heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to leave.
"...But she has to stay."
Just as Rick and others were about to set off, the Governor suddenly stretched out his hand, pointed at Michonne who was carrying a Japanese sword in the crowd, and spoke in a cold tone.
He can let everyone else here go, but Michonne must die.
It was she who chopped off his daughter's head. Although his daughter had turned into a zombie, she was his daughter after all, and the only support for him to survive. He would not be a human being if he did not avenge this.
"That's impossible!"
Daryl immediately refused, raised his hand and raised his crossbow, ready to fight, but was stopped by Rick.
"Don't go too far. Listen, you can make other requests, but this is something we absolutely cannot accept. If you insist on taking the person, then we will have no choice but to fight, which will be of no benefit to either side."
Rick tried to persuade her kindly. He knew very well the hatred between Michonne and the Governor, and understood that if Michonne fell into the hands of the Governor, she would surely die. He would never agree to the Governor's request, otherwise the team would be demoralized and would be difficult to lead.
"Boss, why don't we just let them go?"
The man in the military cap on the tank hesitated for a moment and advised softly.
In his opinion, the purpose of their trip was to seize the prison as a refuge. Now that they have succeeded, there is really no need to fight to the death with the other party for one person.
Upon hearing this, the Governor did not answer, but looked around and saw that the eyes of his subordinates were also full of hesitation.
There are many ruthless people who have survived the apocalypse, but they are also afraid of death and are unwilling to start a war for one person.
"Okay! Let's start the battle then."
Normally, when faced with such a situation, the leader will take into account the overall interests of the team and make compromises.
However, the governor was not such a person. From the moment his daughter's head was chopped off, he had ignored everything.
He didn't give his men any chance to react. He just pulled out his pistol, pointed it at Michonne and pulled the trigger.
"careful!"
Seeing this, Hershel quickly pushed Michonne away.
"Bang~~"
Gunshots rang out and Hershel fell to the ground after being shot.
"No!"
Seeing this, Rick roared in anger, pulled out his pistol, and shot wildly at the Governor.
The governor was shot in the arm instantly. He covered the wound and quickly retreated behind the car.
The conflict between the two sides, who were already in a tense standoff, escalated instantly, gunshots rang out, and the scene fell into chaos.
Inside the prison room.
[Ding Dong! Host's current location detected: Prison. Do you want to sign in?]
Just when Chu Xuan was getting extremely anxious, the system's sign-in reminder sounded in his mind.
"Sign in. Oh, I can still sign in. Maybe there's still hope."
Chu Xuan came to his senses and hurriedly signed in.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for signing in successfully. You will be rewarded with a chance to enter the lucky draw.]
System rewards will be issued immediately.
Chu Xuan did not hesitate and directly called out the lottery machine to start the lottery.
"Beep beep!!!"
The lottery machine spins rapidly.
Looking at the lottery machine spinning, Chu Xuan had never been so eager to see the results of the lottery.
Soon, the lottery machine stopped, and the system lived up to expectations, displaying a line of small words: Time Gem.
[Ding Dong! Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Time Gem. Use it to gain the ability to control time.]
