The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 106 Z Element
At night, Lyon came back from Professor Jacob's laboratory. This knowledgeable old professor provided Lyon with a very interesting idea.

After more than half a month of research by the old professor and Dr. Melfa, the special synthetic substance extracted from the spider monster was named Z element by them.

Although the current biomedical knowledge and the equipment currently owned by Fort Benning cannot conduct more in-depth research on the Z element, based on the characteristics of the Z element, Professor Jacob believes that this synthesis can be used to create a zombie virus. of inhibitors.

Not a treatment serum for the zombie virus, but an inhibitor.

This compound can form a special balance with the zombie virus in the same body, and consume both to produce uncontrollable mutations in the host's body.

However, the speed of this mutation is quite slow, and has a lot to do with the dose of this synthetic compound and the radiation environment in which the host is located.

Although using this inhibitor, there is a small chance of mutating into a monster, but compared to being infected with the zombie virus and dying within ten hours, this is nothing at all.

However, so far, the reserves of Z element are quite small, and there is no way to obtain it again. What Professor Jacob provided is just an idea that he and Professor Melfa accidentally discovered.

After thinking about it, Leon considered that someone he valued might be infected with the zombie virus in the future, so he finally asked Professor Jacob to make some zombie virus inhibitors in case of accidents.

Regarding this matter, from the perspective of researchers, Professor Jacob and the others certainly agreed with Lyon's opinion, but they also made a somewhat cruel request.

Researching inhibitors is not a very easy task, and it also requires constant trial and error and sacrifice.

Therefore, whenever an inhibitor needs to be researched, Leon must provide a sample that has been infected with the zombie virus but has not yet transformed into a dead body, so that the doctor and others can conduct experiments.

In other words, every time physical research is required, a human life must be sacrificed to verify whether the inhibitor is effective.

Regarding this matter, Leon felt a psychological burden. He was not a holy mother and cherished every human life. Thinking of so many prisoners in the camp who deserved to die, he agreed without hesitation.

Back in their office, Little Amy and Maggie's discussion with the Troy Mutual Aid Association has also ended.

The two best friends and the little beauty Beth were talking and laughing while enjoying a large piece of delicious cream cake.

Seeing Leon coming in, the three girls were a little shy. Amy handed over a signed agreement and took the two girls back to their room to play.

Leon has always been very tolerant of people he likes. He sat back in his office chair and read the agreement.

The Umbrella Company will exchange some pistols and a small number of rifles, about 200 pistols and 50 rifles, for livestock and agricultural products from the Troy Mutual Aid Society, including a considerable number of cows and sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks, as well as a large number of vegetables and fruits.

Most of these livestock will be transported to the breeding base in Oak Village for cultivation and breeding, and the vegetables and fruits exchanged will be sold as food to the company's employees to improve their meals.

And in addition, the Umbrella Company will provide the Trojan Mutual Aid Association with some ammunition supplies every month in exchange for their long-term supply of agricultural products.

The two camps will reach a friendly trade agreement and can exchange supplies needed by each other.

When the Trojan Mutual Aid Association is in danger, they can pay a certain price to invite Lyon to send troops to assist them.

This is a fairly simple and vague cooperation agreement. Leon has obtained food and livestock, and the Trojan Mutual Aid Society has obtained peace and protection. Both parties are happy and there will not be too many conflicts.

Lyon was quite satisfied with this agreement. After the external affairs were dealt with, the company's internal work was quickly on track. After more than ten days of recruit training, Colonel William was leading the recruits to start cleaning up the residential area. Zombies.

With the assistance of the Logistics Department, they built ten 20-meter-high mobile shooting platforms around the fence of the residential area, surrounding the entire residential area.

As long as the recruits get on the shooting platform, they can attack the zombies wandering on the streets at will from a bird's eye view without having to worry about their attacks.

These zombies are like living targets. Zombies at close range can be shot with pistols, and zombies farther away can be shot with rifles or automatic rifles. Even if they are four to 500 meters away, sniper rifles with higher accuracy can be used to kill them. .

Lyon even encouraged the women and children in the logistics department to join this shooting training without paying any fees in their spare time.

As long as strict safety protection measures are taken, these tens of thousands of zombies will be the best targets for shooting practice.After obtaining the arms and ammunition from the Fort Benning military base, Umbrella Company almost no longer has to worry about ammunition and weapons.

There were arms and ammunition piled up in the entire five underground floors of the base. There were hundreds of millions of bullets. He even doubted whether his soldiers could use up all the ammunition before its useful life expired.

However, because the weapons and ammunition, various tank artillery and high-tech weapons in the Benningbao military base are too complete, Lyon also has a very happy trouble.

The employees of the Ministry of Security are almost all civilians transformed into fighters. Apart from the courage to risk their lives, they lack military knowledge and do not know how to use those powerful missile artillery and various aircraft and tanks.

Even Colonel William and his soldiers only knew how to use a few weapons. When they were conducting special operations abroad, they did not use these difficult-to-transport and uncommon equipment at all, so they did not Conducted research and study in this area.

Leon worried about this matter for a long time, and in the end he could only place his hope on the unconscious Iron Wolf Frank and his professional soldiers.

But now, there is no clue about the antidote to the super anesthetic, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.

Time flies and another week has passed.

Less than half of the zombies in the residential area were wiped out by the recruits and the members of the logistics department who practiced marksmanship. With this progress, I believe that in just one or two weeks, they will be able to regain the entire residential area and serve him. Those who temporarily live in hospitals, libraries and tents provide a good living environment.

But at this moment, Amy told Leon a special news.

The fat man named Eugene was admitted to the intensive care unit after being punched three times by Abraham in the evening. Not only did he suffer a slight concussion, but also suffered extensive contusions on his face, and even half of his teeth were knocked out.

Leon was slightly taken aback by this news. He hadn't taken the initiative to expose Eugene's scam, but he didn't expect that the fat man had already exposed himself.

After little Amy's detailed description, Leon knew the whole story.

It turned out that Dr. Melfa and Professor Jacob, two highly respected intellectuals, heard that a new fat man named Eugene had arrived in the camp and had a solution to the zombie virus, and they immediately aroused strong curiosity.

In the evening, I led a large group of researchers to find Eugene, the fat boy. Under the watchful eyes of Abraham and Rosita, the two groups had a debate after a while.

Dr. Melfa, who never knew what it meant to show mercy to others, scolded Eugene in front of everyone as a big, ignorant liar, and asked him many questions about the professionalism of virology. The question left this fat man with only a little cleverness speechless.

After the researchers at the base left in disappointment, Abraham and Eugene had a violent quarrel. In the end, the fat boy Eugene was punched three times by Abraham, a man as strong as a brown bear, and he went into shock and passed out.

If it weren't for Rosita's dissuasion at the scene, this little fat man would probably be beaten to death by the furious Abraham.

After listening to little Amy's story, Leon was amused by the scene he imagined, and felt a little regretful that he did not see the scene with his own eyes.

He always felt that Eugene, the little fat man, deserved to be taught a lesson. He not only lied to those brave humans to waste their efforts for him, but even made many people sacrifice their lives in order to protect him. Is it easy to bully?

After thinking for a while, he said to Amy:

"Find some time tomorrow to invite Mr. Abraham and Ms. Rosita to have lunch with me."

"They are all warriors with ideals and abilities who should fight for the real cause."

"I will have a good chat with them and hope to convince them to join our organization."

He thought about what happened recently, and then said to Amy:
"Amy, now that we have reached an agreement with the Troy Mutual Aid Association, let your sister, Andrea, increase recruitment efforts."

"Strive to recruit all the survivors in Troy County into our hands."
