Chapter Eighty-Six: George. DuPont
Time is a terrible medicine.
It can cover and destroy many traces of what was originally there.
What's more, Los Angeles, where the zero reagent was lost, has long been a zombie world. Trying to find a leather bag in a megacity is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. Zombies, of course, are not interested in purses containing reagents, but they can walk around with their belts without them knowing. Every detail of the helicopter footage at that time was magnified, and the intelligence services cleaned up the hundreds of thousands of photos that were broken down one by one, and finally did not find a similar object on the picture.
George was only a minor son of the Morgan family, and he was not qualified to know much about the controversy over Reagent Zero, he had only disliked Ajel of the Morgan family before, and now, he only felt disgusted. In any case, as the successor of the new base, he must use the shortest time to restore the operation of the base, which is located at the southernmost point of the family's sphere of influence.
George Morgan is now the head of the base and the director of several urban areas in San Antonio and Austin.
Each director has the basic tasks set by the Inter-American Council:
First: Assess the number and strength of the survivors and zombies in the jurisdiction, distribute immunization agents among the survivors, accept as many survivors as possible, and increase the population of the dub07 base.
Second: to monitor those who have a good evaluation of the battle, and provide them with food, weapons, and medicine. After passing the combat effectiveness test, they will change their identity and have military status and be sent to the DUB01 base.
Whether it is written records or face-to-face instructions from higher officials, the contents are already clear, he is only responsible for those who are alive, and there is no order for him to exterminate the zombies.
The base was repaired a little faster than expected.
At 10:38 a.m. the next day, the base tower was connected to the power supply and resumed normal use. By 7:22 p.m., medium-sized military transport planes flying from the north began to land, unloading the first batch of supplies requested by the base.
Most of them are communications equipment and ammunition. In addition, there were thirty soldiers who arrived at random.
Like George and the first members of the base to arrive, they were all injected with immunization and a Phase 1 booster. This biomodifier derived from the prototype drug has no side effects on the human body, but because the user's bones cannot match the muscles, these soldiers are not yet considered first-order hardeners.
After all, the concept of "strengthening" is aimed at bones and muscles. Neither party has an effect, but it is impossible to exert a strong enough biological power. Only after taking enough stones and bones can the strengthened muscles fuse with the strengthened bones to exert the strength of the strengthened person.
Including George, despite his special status, he has injected third-order drugs that are still in the experimental stage through alternative channels, but he still only has muscle strength up to the standard, and his bones are still unable to be strengthened synchronously. This problem did not change until Jiang Sen revealed the secret of the zombie stones before he was released.
This made George curious about what kind of person Jiang Sen, the director of the LEG base, was, and how he drove a nail in front of the Morgan family. His location was not too far from the LEG base, and he went to visit Jiang Sen.
A Humvee at the head, followed by two heavy armored transports, drove into the city of San Antonio at a galloping speed, and with the arrogance and savagery of destruction, the Humvee crashed into several abandoned cars that were clogging the road end to end, like a wild buffalo rushing from the horizon, roaring into the road.
This military Humvee is strong in defense and powerful. Specially designed tires are enough to crush anything that dares to resist. Along the way, zombies kept shaking their bodies and pounced on the side of the road, wrenched under the car by the crazy spinning tires, accompanied by the terrible sound of broken bones and rotten flesh, completely turning into vague and viscous plasma.
The convoy drove all the way into the National Guard camp, quickly hit the Humvee in the empty square, and the Humvee stopped in the middle of the square, and the black hole of the heavy machine gun muzzle drove back and forth.
Then the two transports stopped on either side of the Humvee, the closed rear doors slammed open, and more than a dozen heavily armed soldiers jumped out of the cars.
They worked in groups of three to search office buildings and camps. The armor plate on the roof of the transporter slowly became tilted, and two 12 rose from inside the car. 7 mm caliber heavy machine gun. In the event of an anomaly, these weapons will provide the most powerful support to the soldiers.
George jumped out of the passenger seat of the Humvee and strode to the center of the square. Raising his head, he looked at the Star Stripes Banner on the roof of the building that had not been changed for a long time and had faded due to the sun and rain, and felt a little emotional.
He is tall and stout, with a typical military temperament in his movements and standing.
There is only one National Guard in this city. Since the outbreak of the virus, many people have been here. Passing by Jiang Sen belonged to the luckier of the bunch, he smashed open the underground armory, took all the weapons and other reserves, and looted them cleanly, leaving not a single bullet behind.
Ten minutes later, the various teams had completed their initial search mission. The information gathered is not much different from what was expected. It is nothing more than that the electrical equipment is intact, no survivors have been found, the electronic control barriers inside and outside the gate are still usable, the underground machine shaft has not been contaminated, etc.
"What, the underground armory was destroyed, all weapons and ammunition were missing?"
When he heard the news, George was only surprised.
According to the order, George and the soldiers were among the first soldiers to be stationed in the city.
The National Guard camp is part of the military control zone. The buildings here are all built to military standards and are very sturdy. There is also an underground interception wall at the gate and at the entrance to the camp. It was two steel grilles more than three meters high, which even heavy transport trucks could not break through, and could only be destroyed by direct hits of explosives or shells.
In a city that has lost order and control, anything can happen.
George was mentally prepared for the loss of all the weapons and ammunition in his stockpile.
However, deep down, there is still a little bit of hope. These things are actually not worth mentioning for the military. But with this batch of munitions, Wu Guoguang could quickly establish more than a dozen firepower points near the elite headquarters. After all, it is cumbersome and takes time to carry weapons from the Dub01 base with transport aircraft.
As the commander of the first personnel to be stationed, George carefully studied the structure of the National Guardββββ the walls of the underground armory were thick and standard fortifications with a large amount of steel added. The all-steel door wall is extremely protective and can only be destroyed by a large impact drill bit. Now, even such places have been destroyed, so what security is there in the city?
Countless thoughts quickly raced through his mind, and then he called a few soldiers to join him and walked towards the basement of the office building.
George wanted to see the broken door with his own eyes.
The shattered walls were no different from when Jiang Sen had left a few months ago, the corpses of the soldiers in the hallway had been removed, the footprints were scattered everywhere, and the storage room was frighteningly empty. With a calm face, George paced back and forth in the empty room.
Although he had also been injected with immunity and third-order enhancement potions, as an officer, George had received more training than ordinary soldiers, and had a deeper understanding of zombies and viruses, evolution and enhancement.
The steel door was obviously not broken by mechanical force, but was smashed open by the force of a fist
George knew very well that even if such a thing was said among soldiers, few would believe it.
George himself is a third-order powerhouse, but because he has not taken stones, his actual strength does not reach the true power of the third-order strengthening, and the power that destroyed the folding steel door is obviously not owned by George, he is very unfamiliar with the city under his feet, and he doesn't know what happened here? I don't know if these things have anything to do with the Morgan family? Therefore, he was silent for a few minutes, clearing all kinds of unrealistic thoughts from his mind, and no longer focused on the steel door that had been violently destroyed.
When he was thinking about the soldier's orders, he saw the monitor in the corner, this kind of monitor should have a backup power supply, even if the power is off, it can run for a long time with the backup power supply, he immediately ordered the soldier: "Check the monitoring, see if there is anything recorded immediately!" β
