Chapter 40: Lori is pregnant

Ten minutes later, Rick and his troops arrived at Oak Leaf Street, Leon discussed tactics with him, and Rick boarded a military truck directly.

Under his order, three military trucks lined up in a square and began to accelerate, the huge impact angle on the front of the car was like the sickle of death, with a terrifying roar, directly crashed into the center of the corpse group, and the zombies rushed to pieces, crushing all the enemies who dared to resist, and directly advanced the battle line by 100 meters.

Three security personnel boarded the back of the military truck and began to operate the heavy machine gun welded to it to strafe, without the need for too precise aiming, the three dense ballistics formed a terrifying point of fire, any monster that existed on the trajectory was torn to pieces by the bullet in a matter of seconds.

At the entrance to Oak Leaf Street, more than 20 fighters armed with assault rifles also slowly entered the street, forming three lines of defense, clearing the surviving zombies under the heavy machine guns as they went.

As the rifle squad deepened and mended their knives, the streets were soon gone, and there was not a single zombie that could still move.

With a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, Leon glanced at several professors and students, and said:

"Hurry up and get in the car, otherwise, the sound here will soon attract all the zombies in the vicinity."

Under Leon's command, the crowd came and went as fast as they could, and when the Umbrella Company's convoy left the scene, only corpses were left on Oak Leaf Street.

β€”β€”β€”β€”

After the trip to the Polytechnic Institute, the umbrella company welcomed more than 100 new members, and Leon did not think about making any big moves, but spent half a month concentrating on the internal affairs of the base.

There is no doubt that after seeing the terrifying zombie world outside the base, and after seeing the miserable lives of the survivors who have newly joined the base, the three professors and the more than 100 students have chosen to join the Umbrella Corporation.

Probably because the young people were bold and dared to fight, and they were unwilling to do those boring logistics work, so that the umbrella company suddenly had more than 40 fighters, more than 30 technicians and more than 20 logistics personnel, counting the scattered survivors who were recruited one after another in the past half a month, the number of people in the umbrella company swelled to more than 230 people at once.

The fighters of the Ministry of Security were divided into three squads of more than 20 people each, but because most of them were students with no combat experience, the current task of the combat team was to clean up the zombies in the buildings around the base.

Leon wants to spend the next month clearing all the zombies within 3 kilometers of the perimeter, pushing the base's defensive front to the real perimeter of the CDC in case other marauders attack the base's glass faΓ§ade.

The work of the engineering department is not easy, all the current soldier equipment, vehicle modification and the production of certain daily necessities in the base need their help, and the addition of new members allows Leon to propose two more tasks to them.

One task is how to take advantage of the zombies' stupid intelligence and create trap-like devices that effectively clear their numbers, just like some tower defense games.

Another task is to grow vegetables, yes, to grow vegetables, and the life of eating canned food for more than two months in a row has made Lyon tired, and it just so happens that there are several rural children among this group of Polytechnic students, and Lyon has also delegated authority to them, so that they can consult the old people in the base, and strive to build a vegetable plot that is enough to supply hundreds of people within a few months.

The logistics department's top priorities are also coming to an end, with the apartments on the 2nd floor of the underground car park 70% complete and expected to be fully completed in another week.

As the number of people in the base continued to increase, Leon also added two assistants to each of the three administrative staff, Amy, Quinn, and Andrea, all of whom were students of the Polytechnic Institute, so that they would not be able to complete the management of so many employees.

These government affairs seem simple, but they are quite cumbersome in practice, and during this time, Lyons spent most of his daily energy in this.

Fortunately, after half a month of diligent government affairs, the operation of the umbrella company has slowly entered the right track, and it is gradually no longer necessary for the boss of Lyon to do everything himself.

On this day, Leon came to the infirmary to conduct a final re-examination of Lori's injuries, and after a month of treatment, the lady's body was no longer in serious trouble and she was able to be officially discharged.

Sean, Carl, and Rick were all by Lori's side, talking to her softly and softly, probably physically and psychologically, the lady became a little reticent, she knew in her heart that the loss of her eyes made her a burden to her family in this world.

Leon also felt a little touched by the scene where their family was in love with each other, but there was a news that had to be told to them, because even if he didn't say it now, after a while, they would be able to find out for themselves.

Leon coughed, beckoned to Sean and Rick gently, and led them to another separate room, without too many pleasantries, and said straight to the point:

"I'm going to tell you something, about Ms. Lori, I hope you'll be mentally prepared in advance."

Sean and Rick were nervous when they heard this, and hurriedly asked:

"Dr. Custer, what's wrong with Lori."

Leon looked into the eyes of the two with a serious expression.

"Ms. Lori is pregnant, and her current psychological state is a little problematic, too negative, which is likely to affect the health of the fetus."

Looking at the two of them who were like being struck by lightning, Leon continued:

"I can probably imagine the problems between you, but fate never gives you a chance to choose, everyone goes with the flow."

"I hope you can handle this matter calmly, and don't ruin the sincere relationship between you because of a moment of impulse, and Lady Lori can't accept that blow, think about Carl, don't let tragedy happen to this child again."

With that, he nodded to the two who were still standing there, and left the room.

On the way back, Leon also saw Peggy, who was struggling to carry a box of supplies, the girl looked stubborn, with a bandage on one hand and a box around the other, refusing the help of her tall brother behind her, and was slowly moving towards her apartment.

This spirit of self-reliance made Leon can't help but look at it a few more times, and he returned to his office, where Amy was sitting at the small desk next to him and doing her work.

When she saw Leon returning, a sweet smile immediately appeared on her pretty face, and she put down her work and brought Leon a glass of cold Coke.

"Boss, you're back."

Leon took the Coke, sat back in his boss's chair, turned on the computer, and saw that there was nothing serious, so he started playing a game called Red Alert.

He took a sip of Coke and said to the little secretary:

"When you go down, remember to go to the engineering department and post a task."

"What mission? Boss. Amy winked curiously.

"Tailor a prosthetic leg for that girl named Peggy."

He looked at Amy's smiling face and added:

"This girl was a great help when I rescued the survivors of the Polytechnic."

"She deserves to be rewarded."
