Chapter 198: Chapter 209 Dull
The wind is a little noisy today.
The sunlight was as dull as usual, so dull that it was a bit depressing.
Even the wind had a hint of heat in it.
As summer approaches, Atlanta is by no means a vacation destination.
But now, let alone a vacation, just having a place to stand is enough to call it a holy place.
Walking on the streets of Woodbury, Carl discovered that he didn't like the sun that much after all.
Maybe I just like the sunshine in spring, autumn and winter.
Of course, Carl would also like to sunbathe on the beach in the summer.
Unfortunately, we don't have such pleasant conditions now. Even refrigerators have to be used with caution, not to mention the air-conditioning environment. Probably no one would like the hot summer sun.
But some things, even if you don't like them, cannot be avoided now.
Carl stopped and looked at the crowd in front of him silently. There were some people he was familiar with, some he only knew the names of, and of course there were some people he didn't even know the names of.
At the front, the Governor was standing on the steps, delivering an impassioned speech. He seemed to be so engrossed in his speech that he did not notice Carl coming over.
As for the content of the speech, it was simple, a pre-war mobilization and morale boosting tactic, a very common but effective one.
The target this time is the prison, and Carl can be sure that this time, the dispute between Woodbury and the prison will not go on for several rounds like in the original drama.
This time, the governor is serious. He wants to take over the prison in one fell swoop, or the prison will surrender directly and completely, only then will the governor let them go.
Because the governor was very angry, very obviously angry. After coming back yesterday, he could hardly suppress his anger even in front of himself.
Carl wasn't quite sure what happened exactly, but it seemed that fewer people came back than the Governor had taken out.
Moreover, they didn't catch anyone, and I'm afraid they didn't succeed in killing anyone, otherwise the governor wouldn't be so angry.
After that, Carl didn't know why, but seemed to let the two men go temporarily.
The Governor also talked to Carl about this. He said that he had to take over the prison first, and he had to take it in one fell swoop.
Carl remained calm about this, or at least he seemed calm.
A tank, two armored vehicles, and a lot of heavy firepower, plus all the other combat power that Woodbury could bring out except for the necessary guards.
Well, the Governor has to go there in person, including suppressing Glenn. Whether it is used as a threat or as a sacrifice before the war, it is a good choice.
At least that's what the Governor thought.
Woodbury is well prepared, even fully prepared, and determined to win.
As for the prison, Carl didn't even know whether everyone in the prison knew about the existence of Woodbury, let alone made preparations for it in advance.
Perhaps when the Governor's tanks arrive at the prison gate,
Several guards were still dozing off, and Sean was still playing with Judith on the grass.
It is very likely that Moore and Daryl are not in prison. Of course, it is also a coincidence that they just happened to come back and run into the Governor's large army.
As for the others, they were even less prepared. Beth might still be helping Hershel grow crops.
No, Carl didn't know what Beth was doing every day while he was away.
Can't even imagine it, or don't want to imagine it.
Although he was reluctant to admit it, Carl had to admit that if a fight really broke out, the prison would have no chance of winning.
There was not even any buffer time. As early as yesterday, Karl had tried to persuade the Governor in the most tactful way possible to put the matter aside for the time being.
For example, collect more intelligence to understand the strength of the prison, or continue to hunt down the two intruders who entered Woodbury.
but,
The Governor is very determined, and Carl can't change him. This is the difference between the Governor and Sean.
The Governor has a strong desire for control, and as he often says, nothing can be changed after he decides.
Even Carl can't do it. Carl can only influence, and there is a huge difference between influence and change.
When there is no time, no room,
Carl knew what else he could do.
But it's not clear what I should do.
But it must be done.
have to do.
Regardless of whether your participation can change anything, you can't just not do anything because you don't know.
I raised my left hand and looked at the time. It was almost one o'clock, so time was not that tight.
If you know the distance, you can reach the prison by car in one hour, so the two are not far away.
There are even many overlaps between the radiation ranges of Woodbury and the prison. The fact that they were able to discover each other after such a long time is already a sign of the goddess of luck favoring the weaker party.
"Perhaps we can make it in time for dinner tonight. I will allow Valen to kill a pig today and prepare a celebratory feast for us."
"Of course, we will win, as always."
The Governor smiled, "Everyone, get ready to go, for Woodbury!"
"For Woodbury!"
"For Woodbury!"
…
The corners of the Governor's smiling mouth suddenly froze. He saw Carl and told others to get ready to leave. The Governor came to Carl.
The Governor frowned and asked, "Karl, what are you doing here?"
Karl pursed his lips, looked at the Governor, and said nothing.
The Governor frowned even deeper, put his right hand on Carl's shoulder, and rubbed Carl's head again.
"Karl, let me first apologize for my attitude yesterday. I was in a bad mood."Carl pursed his lips slightly and said;
"I know, I don't blame you sir, everyone has bad days, I'm just a little worried."
"What are you worried about? Carl, you seem to be worried about something lately." The Governor reached out and gently rubbed Carl's brow.
"Sir, you taught me that anger can make people lose their rational judgment and easily make wrong decisions."
The Governor was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Karl, do you think my decision is not correct? Why do you think so?"
"Governor, it's time to go." Martinez, who was already standing on the tank, couldn't help but urge.
"etc."
The Governor replied nonchalantly, then turned his attention back to Karl.
Karl pursed his lips and said, "Sir, he is right. It is time to go. Anyway, since you have made your decision, no one can change it."
"Carl, then you..." The Governor looked at Carl in front of him and felt a strange feeling in his heart.
"I want to go too. Let me go with you."
"Karl, why?"
"Because you took Glenn away."
"Glenn?" The Governor was stunned, then frowned, "What does it have to do with him? Carl, I told you..."
"Well, I know you said that, sir. I have always tried to remember what you said, but I just want to go. If you think there is no danger, then you shouldn't refuse me."
"Is that so...Okay, if you want."
