"Scalpel No. 2."

"Be careful, this bug's bodily fluids are very corrosive."

"Take it out, give me the storage box."

"This thing looks really weird."

In the cramped makeshift dissection room, Belford, the medical director of the Aurora Legion, is personally examining a dead radiation cockroach. On the simple operating table, a whole giant worm was dismantled into eight pieces, and part of the tissue, which was thought to have a healing effect, was specially removed and stored separately.

After the autopsy, Belford also ordered his assistant to carefully clean up the various parts of the tissues of the bugs to avoid possible infections or accidents. After all, cockroaches have always been thought to carry a lot of harmful germs, and who knows what will happen after the radiation mutation?

And Belford walked out of the dissection room, took off his mask and said to Zhou Qingfeng, who was guarding outside: "Your Excellency, Legion Commander, these mutated creatures are very valuable for research, but I am not an expert in studying insects and mutations. Whether or not they actually have the effects that the locals say they have requires a lot of experimentation.

As for the corpses of the other two 'mutants', they are also material that can arouse great research interest among professionals. However, the equipment and conditions here are not sufficient, and they can only be transported back to Havana for follow-up research. Maybe we can find out their weaknesses. ”

Belford came on a transport plane with a dedicated biomedical team. They had been here for two days, investigating the survival of mutated creatures on the North American continent and helping Zhou Qingfeng figure out some ways to deal with the current problem.

However, Zhou Qingfeng didn't care much about the so-called medical research, he just ordered: "All the mutated creatures are all transported by the transport plane that came this time, I don't need you to conduct any large-scale research, I only need you to do one thing." ”

As he spoke, Zhou Qingfeng rolled up his sleeves and said, "Draw a few hundred milliliters of my blood, inject it into some prisoners, and observe their condition within a week." If they appear to be weakened and weakened, give them the glands or pieces of flesh of the radiation cockroach to see the effect. ”

Belford was confused, and he couldn't figure out why. And Zhou Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "I hope this is a secret experimental project, and all the experimental results will be handed over directly to me and Lina. Fox. ”

"Your Excellency, Commander, can you tell me what the purpose of this is? I guess I need a clear goal for my experiment. Belford asked, embarrassed.

"Residents here say that the glands of the radiation cockroach can treat any disease, any injury. I think that's an exaggeration, but despite my skepticisms, I'd like to give it a try. "Zhou Qingfeng's purpose is very simple, he just wants to find more back roads for himself.

Although he still didn't quite understand, when Belford had some speculation in his heart. Faced with the direct order from the corps commander, he could only nod his head and agree. After the blood was drawn, he hurried to lead the team and left in a hurry.

Seeing the three C-130 transport planes take off again and fly away, the people in the entire stronghold were sighing. Caterina asked Zhou Qingfeng, "Do you really believe that those mutated cockroaches are a special medicine that can save your life?" ”

"Try it, and it doesn't hurt." Zhou Qingfeng is in charge of the 'Aurora Legion', and the entire legion is equivalent to his private property. "I'm interested in the fact that the Brotherhood of Steel's research institute is using radiation cockroaches to create something called a 'healing needle', which is said to allow some minor injuries to heal quickly and greatly alleviate serious injuries."

"How is this possible?" Caterina shook her head slightly, women have a natural aversion to cockroaches, let alone giant cockroaches. She didn't have the slightest hope for the so-called 'magical effect of radiation cockroaches', but she didn't want to hit Zhou Qingfeng, so she didn't directly deny it.

And for many people in the stronghold, those three transport planes were simply the only chance to get to the Garden of Eden. Because more than 100 people in the stronghold who were considered more valuable left by plane, they were freed from the sea of suffering, and they no longer had to endure suffering.

As for the task force, the three transport planes took away some of the wounded and burdensome, and also brought a lot of equipment that they needed. The lightweight fire assault vehicle was considered suitable for use in difficult terrain, which was proven during the attack on the city of Merida.

This time, if it weren't for an assault gun equipped with heavy artillery and explosive reactive armor, it would be hard to say who would have killed the deer in the face of the surging insect tide and the terrifying 'mutants'.

In response to this situation, Zhou Qingfeng decisively asked Havana to get him armored combat vehicles again. So three lightly armoured 'Panhards' and one BTR-60 with heavy guns were brought over.

In addition, Zhou Qingfeng's elite soldiers have also been replenished, and the number has been increased to more than fifty people, who are once again fully equipped and ready to fight at any time. This number of combat troops has reached the limit of the long-range deployment of the 'Aurora Legion'. With more manpower, logistics and supplies will not be able to keep up.

After gaining a firm foothold, Zhou Qingfeng naturally began to search Baltimore City. But according to aerial reconnaissance photos, he had a problem — the road to Baltimore was crammed with scrapped vehicles, and the closer you got to the city, the more it became.

Without a lot of manpower and time, it is impossible to clear a road that can be passed. What Zhou Qingfeng lacks is manpower and time. Since there was no GPS and no electronic navigation, he had to find a guide to re-route the armored vehicles outside the existing road.

"Thankfully, the Maryland we're in isn't a hilly mountain, it's a plain, which makes our detour plan feasible. But I don't know what you'll encounter along the way. Hopefully not hordes of hostile creatures. ”

Zhou Qingfeng has a detailed map of the surroundings of Baltimore, but now that the cataclysm has occurred for almost a year, who knows if the map is still useful? He ordered people to search for guides in the stronghold who were familiar with the surrounding environment, and found a total of four.

"Guys, don't be nervous. I just hope you'll help me find a suitable route to the city of Baltimore. Zhou Qingfeng personally met with the four selected guides, and when his request was made, the three male guides immediately began to come up with ideas.

More than 40 kilometers of roads, discussed for an afternoon, and about three roads were selected. But there is a problem with all three of these paths - no one has traveled it, but they are blind by past experience.

"Hey, ma'am, what's your name?" Zhou Qingfeng threw the pencil for plotting the map on the table, pinched his somewhat swollen head, and looked at the only woman among the four guides.

"My name is Nya. It was John. A student at the Hopkins University School of Business. The woman said weakly, she looked at Zhou Qingfeng's eyes full of caution.

"Oh, I've heard of you. You were supposed to get on a plane to Havana. Sorry to leave you behind, do you have any comments on our course of action? Zhou Qingfeng asked.

Niya looked at Zhou Qingfeng, then at the map, and finally walked to the table, drew an arc with her fingers on one of the routes, pursed her lips and said, "I suggest you take a detour." ”

"Why?"

"You'd better go to Granite first."

"Why?"

"Because where there is a shelter, maybe we can find someone who can help us."

"Shelter?" (To be continued.) )
