The Walking Dead: Starting as a Cowboy

Chapter 160 Performance

Since learning that the target of the mission was Woodbury, Guillermo was so excited that he hadn't had a good rest for several days and was extremely excited.

In order to execute this mission perfectly, Guillermo took his team to Atlanta several times, and their combat experience was rapidly improved.

Caesar was also comfortable with having them participate in this operation.

"Aguirre, come and sit down," Caesar said, pushing a chair next to him.

Guillermo readily agreed and sat down.

"Alright, you three, listen up, this is tonight's objective."

Caesar took out the map of Woodbury and placed it on the coffee table, pressing down the four corners of the map with a cup, his tone serious and earnest.

The other three naturally became serious as well.

"We're going into Woodbury from this direction. Daryl used to go through this area a lot. It's safe, but it's a bit far."

"Aji." Guillermo leaned forward, getting closer.

"Once you enter Woodbury, just walk in this direction. You'll be quite far from your destination."

"Your target is the governor's office, which has a secret door—"

Caesar explained the situation of the dark room in detail, as well as how to open the door. In other words, he combined the information about Andrea and Carol with some other things he knew and told Guillermo everything.

Then, Caesar looked at Glenn and Magee, "Your turn."

"Your target is the old factory behind. First, you need to rescue that mysterious person. If he obeys, cover his mouth and tie his hands and feet. If he doesn't obey, use a sedative."

"Don't let it affect your battle."

"Your goals, besides rescuing him, are to make an appearance in the arena and bring out that mysterious man so that everyone in Woodbury knows that they came for him."

"This is your mission, but your evacuation routes are different. Glenn, you two will return the way you came in and evacuate from where you came in."

"And you, Aji, fight your way out through the main gate. I'll come to meet you, understand?"

Guillermo, Glenn, and Maggie all nodded in unison.

Guillermo hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What if we run into the governor?"

"Then—kill!" Caesar's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Since he's asking for it, we should let him have his way. After killing him, we can take over Woodbury in a legitimate way."

"But—" Maggie frowned and asked, "Won't the residents of Woodbury resist us?"

Caesar tapped his fingers on the coffee table, raising an eyebrow.

"In the end, it won't be us who kill, it will be that mysterious man's companion who does the killing."

"We're their good friends who came to help them fight off the enemy. We've already helped them, so it's only fair that they submit to us!"

Glenn and Maggie had an expression of realization.

Guillermo, on the other hand, showed no concern for what would happen next; his eyes were filled only with a raging fire—the murderous intent he harbored towards the governor.

"Be careful during the battle."

Next, Caesar had them take the map, return to their own team members, memorize the map, and compare it with the table to estimate what other things might happen during the mission.

At night, the moon hangs high, but is obscured by thick clouds.

Caesar looked up at the sky and sighed, "A dark and windy night, perfect for murder."

Woodbury, the arena.

After a day of wild fun, many women and middle-aged and elderly people returned to their homes and fell asleep, feeling dizzy.

What put them to a deep sleep was not only the effect of alcohol, but also the mysterious ingredients in the cookies.

Meanwhile, other residents who were keen to watch the gladiatorial combat staggered to their seats in the stands, chugging their drinks.

-

Before long, the stands were filled with residents, far exceeding the usual number of visitors.

However, they all had a hint of intoxication on their faces.

The governor nodded in satisfaction, surprised that there were more people than usual today.

With almost everyone present, the governor enthusiastically took out a microphone.

Welcome to the arena!

That one shout alone drew cheers from the audience.

The cheers, which nearly lifted the roof off, made the governor's blood boil, and he raised his hand in excitement.

"Without further ado, let's welcome our protagonist today."

"From our combat unit, the battle-hardened Shumpert."

The governor deliberately prolonged the last syllable of his name, "Shumpot," and fortunately, the audience responded enthusiastically.

Shumpert walked out shirtless. His skin was very dark, almost like chocolate, and his strong muscles were exposed, making him look very powerful. He raised his hands and ran a lap in front of the audience.

Just like a boxer making his entrance.

The governor couldn't help but think of Martinez, who liked to perform exaggerated fighting moves, which were very effective and attracted a lot of audiences.

Usually, it was Martinez who participated in the arena.

The governor banished the thoughts from his mind, a smile playing on his lips. "Please welcome Captain Shumpert's adversaries, the walkers from Atlanta."

As the governor announced the start of the show, four men carrying animal traps emerged, each carrying a walking corpse.

Each of these zombies was horrifying in appearance, having been rigorously selected by the governor, who deliberately chose those with ferocious looks.

Either intestines are missing here, or an eye is gone there; you can even see the dark, gaping chambers inside.

Unexpectedly, the crowd, who were in a daze, were not afraid at all, but instead applauded the zombies.

"He's really strong-willed; he's even come back with his eyes gone."

"Hey, what's so special about this? I'd do it even without an arm, this is nothing."

"Tch, what are you pretending for? You're not missing arms, you're missing a brain—"

The crowd was in an uproar. The governor frowned and glanced at the group that had started the conflict. Unexpectedly, before the governor could send anyone over, they were persuaded to stop by their companions.

Since that was the case, the governor ignored them.

The man with the trap quickly tied the zombie to a heavy rock next to Shumpert, where a chain tightly bound the zombie.

There are four pieces in total, placed at the four corners next to Shumbot.

The zombie had a chain around its neck, its arms flailing forward as it let out a ferocious roar.

The governor, microphone in hand, announced, "Now, the gladiatorial combat begins."

At his command, the chains around the necks of the four zombies loosened slightly, allowing them to approach Shumpert.

Shumpert seemed nervous as he paced around a few times, looking at the four zombie faces with a frightened expression, his hands and feet trembling.

Immediately afterwards, the four zombies launched an attack simultaneously.
