Chapter 32: Rick and Sean
"I'm underestimating you, Dr. Custer."
Seeing that there were no zombies coming towards them, Leon returned to the side of the heavy jeep, on the lookout for zombies to sneak up from elsewhere.
In the co-pilot, Kevira stared at Leon's eyes with strange eyes, with some surprise on his expression.
"You're stronger than I thought, your strength, your reaction speed, your explosiveness is a bit beyond imagination, it's hard for ordinary people to reach this level, and you're comparable to those top athletes in almost every aspect."
"Even the retired Navy SEAL ace in my family, who was heavily recruited, can't compare to you in terms of physical fitness."
Leon glanced at Kevila expressionlessly, he didn't mind that others knew how powerful he was, but there was always a sense of superiority in this girl's tone, as if she was a keyboard warrior who didn't know the height of the sky.
"Miss Cavira's tone is not small, but do you remember, you are no longer a rich lady, you are just a cripple now, and you will owe me a lot of debts in the future."
In the face of Leon's evil words, the girl smiled indifferently, and then said:
"I'm serious, although your physical fitness is very strong, your combat skills are still at the level of ordinary people, you should find a master to learn well, so that you can play to your strengths, instead of relying only on brute force to crush."
"It's a pity that I can't act now, otherwise, I wouldn't mind teaching you."
Leon is actually aware of this shortcoming, but he doesn't have that kind of real martial arts around him, and almost all of them are from wild roads.
"Are you strong in martial arts?"
Kevela shook her head and said:
"I'm not a real master physically, but my martial arts skills are very strong."
"Since I was 12 years old, I have had professional coaches teach me martial arts, and I am also very talented, but this thing, physical fitness is a very important factor, and I have not gone through that kind of real life-and-death training, it is okay to deal with ordinary people, and to deal with those real masters, there may be an advantage in the early stage, but when it comes to the stage of competing for endurance and strength, I will be defeated."
"However, in the case of a sneak attack, if I hit the vital point, anyone can basically be killed in an instant."
Leon nodded, feeling that Kevila's explanation was very reasonable, and in reality it was not a kung fu movie, how could there be that kind of person with a good figure and greater strength and speed than a muscular hunk.
It's not interesting just to stand, Leon chatted with Kevira while alerting his surroundings, and from her mouth, Leon did know a lot of things that ordinary people couldn't touch.
This rich girl is the youngest daughter in the family, there are many brothers and sisters, the family runs a multinational company, she can't inherit the family business, but she also has money that ordinary people can't use, inherited the excellent genes of her parents, smart and talented, but she has been a maverick since she was a child, she likes to play with those dangerous and exciting affairs, and her parents basically don't care about her, so she slowly became what she is now.
As he was chatting, a figure emerged from the back of the truck, it was Darryl, who had gone to the supermarket to make noise, and his movements were much faster than Leon expected, and the whole journey took only about twenty minutes.
Leon took a bottle of water and a towel from the back seat of the jeep and handed them to Darryl.
"No injuries, Darryl?"
Daryl gasped slightly, shook his head, took the water and towel, took off the modified motorcycle helmet on his head, and did a simple cleanup.
When his breathing gradually eased, Daryl did not choose to stop and rest, and immediately said to Leon:
"I'm going to help carry the guns, boss."
Leon nodded, and Daryl's performance of not being proud of his achievements made him a little moved by the fact that he was a boss.
If his subordinates are all like this, good employees who dare to work hard and are willing to work, and don't care about gains and losses, why can't they dominate the world.
"Go ahead, I'll leave the security of the outside to me."

Dusk, before the sun sets.
Lyon's convoy finally arrived at the Umbrella Base, where the logistics porters had been waiting for the news.
After a brief handover, Assistant Amy stayed behind to continue to take care of the storage of supplies, while he took Mrs. Moreotti to escort several patients to the base's infirmary.
In addition to emptying the medical equipment and a large number of medicines from the county hospital, they also harvested more than 100 long guns and more than 300 pistols from the gun shop provided by Kevila, and the ammunition reserve was more than 20,000 rounds.
From this alone, the value of Kevela speaks for itself.
According to the girl, there is only one gun shop in King County that can be considered a regular gun shop, and there are about three larger gun shops in Atlanta, but those stores are all located close to the city center, and in the current situation, it is difficult to drive in without clearing the obstacles on the road, even if there are no zombies.
Leon led the group to the medical room on the first floor of the base.
There were quite a few people in the infirmary, and in addition to the two nurses who were still working inside, Sean and Carl were by Lori's side, chatting softly.
The hapless girl seemed to have woken up, her face and chest were covered with thick bandages, only her nose and mouth were exposed, and she looked like an Egyptian mummy.
Bright, who was wounded by a gunshot, has already left, probably trying to find some simple work to earn contribution points.
Standing at the door, a wicked smile appeared on the corner of Leon's mouth, and he shouted loudly to Carl, who was holding Lori's palm by the bedside and crying quietly:
"Carl, look, who did I bring back to you?"
Carl, who was crying, and Sean, who was sad, turned their heads to look at Leon at the same time.
Seeing Rick lying on a hospital bed next to Leon.
Sean's face changed drastically, shock, surprise, panic, surprise, nostalgia, and a trace of complex emotions that he himself did not know, froze on his face, such a wonderful expression change was like a wonderful drama, which made Leon feel a trace of joy in his heart.
Carl's change is very simple, this little boy who has suffered misfortune one after another has round eyes, his small mouth is slightly open, his face has changed from sadness to joy, with tears and snot, his mouth shouts for his father, and his steps are running quickly towards Rick beside Leon.
Ms. Lori, who was dejected, seemed to be stunned when she heard Leon and Carl's shouts, and she couldn't see her expression under the bandage, and she was a little sorry, she was stunned for nearly a minute, and then she shouted Carl and Rick's names, and tried to struggle to get out of bed and grope through.
But her hands and feet were still fractured, and she was pressed back to bed by Sean and the nurse.
This Rick's wife, Carl's mother, seems to have entered a confusion of thought, and she mutters the names of Sean, Carl, and Rick without being able to utter the right words.
There seemed to be some kind of confusion in the whole medical room, and it took three or four minutes for the noise to gradually quiet down.
"You seem to be happy?"
Kevela, who was on the other hospital bed, looked at Leon a little strangely and asked.
"It's cosy and fun, isn't it? The family that was separated from life and death in the disaster is reunited with me like a fateful one. Leon glanced at the girl with an inexplicable smile on his lips.
"Shouldn't I be happy?"
The girl pursed her lips and muttered softly:
"Your expression doesn't look like you're happy for someone else's reunion, it's like you've seen some kind of comedy."
Leon didn't pay any attention to Cavella, but watched as Rick was held by one hand by Lori and Carl, and surrounded by Sean.
They whispered Rick's name as they whispered their words, their voices full of genuine affection.
"Ahem! Cough! Cough! ”
"Where am I?"
It seemed that God was also infected by this heartwarming scene, and Rick, who might have taken a while to wake up, suddenly opened his eyes and coughed.
Leon's eyes narrowed slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't help but widen a little.
It's so much fun.
