The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 53 Underground
The next day, Paige told Leon with a faint dark circle under her eyes that the door to the second underground floor had been opened.

"Boss, I took a look. There was almost no light below, the visibility was very low, and there was only darkness."

Leon nodded, indicating that he understood, and then took out a full 10 sets of brand-new night vision goggles before setting off.

This was obtained at the Wicks Outdoor Product Center last time. He had thought that he might encounter insufficient light when entering the military base, so he simply brought this equipment with him.

After everyone put on the night vision goggles, they all couldn't help but praise in their hearts. Although the boss was sometimes a bit capitalist, he was always very reliable in getting things done.

Entering the second floor, the first thing you see is a huge exhibition hall. There are more than a dozen models of drones in the exhibition hall, each model is placed in a glass display case.

According to the text on the outside of the glass display case, these drones are projects jointly developed by a company called Sterman Arms Group and the military.

There are transport drones, reconnaissance drones, fire support drones, and assault drones, etc., many types of products.

What surprised Leon and others was that in this huge exhibition hall, there were no zombies turned into by guards. They only found broken clothes, scattered firearms, and large blood drag marks on some ground.

The zombies here seem to have been dealt with and dragged to other places, and no one even took away the weapons on the ground.

This made Leon feel a sense of danger, because this didn't seem like a human way of handling things.

He said something to everyone.

"Be careful, there may be some danger here."

After some inspection, everyone found a sliding wooden door at the back of the exhibition hall, and the traces of blood dragging also entered the back of the wooden door from here.

Leon pointed his assault rifle at the door and motioned for others to open the door.

Daryl bowed slightly and pressed against the wooden door.

Others followed suit and picked up their own weapons.

As soon as Daryl opened the wooden door, Leon and others saw a huge gray bear covered in fur standing behind the door.

Scarlet eyes stared at the people behind the door.

A heart-stopping stench filled the air.

Without thinking, Leon kicked the wooden door that Daryl opened, and the force was so strong that it shook Brother Nu's hand away.

The wooden door slammed shut with a loud crash, followed by a huge roar of a bear, and three small slits were opened in the wooden door panel by sharp claws.

It's frightening, if this is caught on someone's body, shouldn't they be disembowelled immediately?

Leon's eyes narrowed slightly, he picked up the assault rifle and fired a wild sweep through the wooden door.

Seeing this, Rick and Sean also raised their guns and started shooting.

Da da da!
Da da da!
Mixed with subtle cries of pain, hundreds of rounds of ammunition were poured out, punching countless bullet holes in the wooden door.

Leon did not immediately open the door and chase after him. Instead, he calmly replaced the new magazine and then carefully opened the wooden door.

But at this time, the giant bear had disappeared behind the wooden door, and only a lot of smelly blood was found on the ground behind the door.

Different from ordinary blood, the blood on the ground was overall black and unusually viscous. This weird blood made Leon think of a possibility.

Could it be that this is a zombie bear?

But it doesn't seem like it has lost its mind. It actually knows how to escape.

"Boss, is this bear also infected with the virus?"

Seeing some surprise and uncertainty on the faces of other team members, Leon thought for a while and said:

"I'm not sure, but it's something of considerable research value."

"I believe Professor Melfa will be very interested."

"Whether it has the zombie virus or not, everyone should be careful not to get hurt by it." "When attacking, try to greet it on the head."

Smelling the fishy stench in the air, Leon's five senses were stronger than ordinary people, and he could quickly tell the direction in which the giant bear was escaping.

"Everyone, please don't separate, pay attention to the movements around you, and don't be attacked by zombies that may be hiding."

"Follow me and we should be able to find it."

Leon gathered his energy, heightened his senses, and began to slowly chase in the direction of the strong smell.

Kewela and Colonel William held assault rifles in their hands, guarding him tightly on the left and right.

After leaving the exhibition hall, there was a not-so-wide corridor behind the wooden door. From time to time, there were wooden doors on the walls of the corridor. Most of them were closed, and it was unknown what was stored inside.

But at this time, everyone was focused on the giant bear. They just relied on Leon to explore cautiously, and did not open the door randomly out of curiosity.

Soon, they walked through the corridor, pushed open a half-open metal door, and came to a huge factory building.

The factory building is filled with various equipment, connected by a conveyor belt, forming a complete assembly line.On the assembly line, you can also see many unassembled drones.

"Is this the production workshop?"

Kevira took Daryl and William's soldiers and carefully observed the surroundings. Except for some finished drones and many unassembled semi-finished products, they didn't find much.

She returned to Leon and said:
"There's not even a trace of blood on the ground here. People should have been evacuated urgently before the disaster."

Leon nodded, gathered his mind, and led everyone to continue exploring based on the smell in the air.

Ten minutes later, they left the drone production workshop, walked through many warehouse-like rooms, and arrived at a corner near the second floor of the military base.

It was a room where many pipes gathered, and the temperature was much higher than other places. Even in the current winter, it didn't seem very cold.

The smell of blood here is very strong, the ground is covered with blood stains left by dragging, and there is only one route in and out.

In such a warm and humid place, if nothing unexpected happens, the giant bear's lair should be in front of it.

Looking at the various pipes on the surrounding walls, Leon felt scruples in his heart. He was not sure whether there were any flammable and explosive gases such as natural gas or gas in these pipes.

Then he turned to his companions and said:

"If you shoot indiscriminately here, it may cause an explosion. You'd better think of a way to lure that beast over."

The atmosphere was silent for more than ten seconds. Most of the people here are good at fighting, but it is a bit difficult for them to use their brains to think about problems.

At this moment, Peggy, the girl with a broken arm, raised her hand and said:
"Boss, I brought something that might be useful."

Without waiting for Leon to ask questions, the girl didn't waste any time and took out a remote-controlled car with a remote control from her brother Sherman's backpack.

"I exchanged this from the warehouse. It has been modified by me. It has a camera and a music player on it. It can be used as a reconnaissance and bait."

Leon took the remote control car in his hand and observed it carefully. He found that the girl had modified it very well. This remote control car was quite advanced, moved at a very good speed, and could carry a weight of less than 10 kilograms.

He thought for a while, took out a C4 bomb the size of a cigarette box from Kewela's backpack, tied it to the remote-controlled car with tape, and installed a remote control device on it.

He patted the girl on the shoulder and said:
"I've loaded the car with a bomb and I'll give you the remote control. You can use the remote control car to drive to the beast's lair later and lure it out."

"Blow it up."

"This bomb is not very powerful. It should be able to cause serious injuries to the big beast after detonating, which will facilitate our subsequent battles."

Peggy nodded, stretched out her prosthetic limb awkwardly, with a hint of bitterness on her face, and said:

"I understand, boss, but the remote control car is not controlled by me, but by my brother Sherman, who is a master at this."

Leon's expression remained unchanged, he patted Sherman's shoulder next to the girl again and said:
"The task will be left to you two siblings. You will be rewarded after you complete it. Don't let me down."
