Chapter 81: The Little Girl
On the way back, everyone was a little silent, and no one came out of the fear of the pink tentacle monster.
Leon leads the way in a modified SUV, and Paige, Kevila, and Michonne sit beside him, each with their own agenda.
Behind this car, Sherman drove a large black truck alone, and the unconscious wounded man lay on the co-pilot, his face covered in a thick bandage.
As the only two men in the group, Sherman was sent here to transport samples of the corpses of the mutated zombies and their remaining weaponry.
It wasn't until the SUV left Roberta County that the knife girl Miyonne asked, in her slightly hoarse voice:
"So, what the hell is that monster?"
"Are there zombies with pink tentacles?"
Everyone was a little absent-minded, Peggy peeked at her boss with fawn-like eyes, worry written on her face, and Kevira held a lollipop in her mouth, her hands resting on the back of her head, looking at the sky, her mind empty.
Leon held the steering wheel with one hand, glanced at everyone, pinched his eyebrows, and said:
"I don't know what kind of monster it is, no one can know."
"However, for the time being, everyone can rest assured that until the nuclear materials in the reactor are consumed, at least for 10 years, that monster should not escape from the underground facility."
Hearing this, Kevela tilted her head and snorted, and said:
"Humph! It was less than a year before such a monster appeared, and after 10 years, who knows what will come out. ”
Leon glanced at the red-haired girl in the rearview mirror and said:
"We are only concerned about the risk of leakage at the nuclear power plant, so we cannot use heavy weapons there."
"When it comes out of there and comes out on the ground, do you think that a monster made of flesh and blood can withstand the attack of missiles, incendiary bombs, or cloudburst bombs?"
The red-haired girl rolled her eyes and snorted:
"Ten years from now, who knows what the world will become, maybe by then, humanity will be extinct, or it will degenerate into the Middle Ages."
However, no matter what the red-haired girl said, Leon's explanation also made everyone's hearts secretly relieved.
That's right, no matter how powerful that monster is, it's just a living target in the face of the high-tech weapons that destroy the world and the world.
A few seconds later, Leon's voice came faintly.
"You all remember that the matter of the tentacle monster must be kept secret, and don't leak it for ordinary people to know."
"There's already too much fear in their hearts, don't let their fragile hearts be stimulated any more."
The crowd was silent, and the SUV quickly drove to Atlanta.
A few days later, a lavish funeral was held at the base of the Umbrella Corporation, and the nine fallen Security Service soldiers were honored by everyone as heroes of humanity's revival, called by Leon.
Their names were carved into a huge gold monument made of pure gold and displayed inside the base as a memorial to their heroic sacrifices.
Lyon also announced on the spot that in the future battle, all employees who died for the umbrella company, his family members will receive 50% of his weekly salary as a pension every week for 20 years.
This policy was immediately sought after by all employees, helping him win a wave of hearts and minds within the company and strengthening their sense of belonging to the company.
Although some people have sacrificed, life has to go on.
After obtaining the body samples of many mutant zombies, the researchers in the umbrella base are all in a state of frenzy and busyness, working day and night, eager to spend 24 hours a day on research, and it seems that even the dangerous apocalypse has become insignificant to them.
On the night he returned to the base, Leon and Dr. Melfa, Colonel William, Professor Jacob, and seven or eight other senior members of the company told about the pink tentacle monster, and they talked for a long time, exchanging their conjectures about the future, and finally everyone ended the meeting with a solemn face.
Eventually, they came to a consensus to suspend all exploration of nuclear power plants and other similar areas until the Umbrella Company had grown strong enough.
That pink tentacle monster is also named, Super Mutant.
After this narrow escape, Leon also let go of some of his pride as a traverser, reflected on his many wrong behaviors in the past, and in the spare time after completing his work, he began to exercise his personal combat power more diligently.
Not only do he often practice all kinds of firearms and exercise his physical fitness in all aspects, but he also often works with Colonel William and other soldiers to exercise his military fighting ability.
Even his favorite indescribable things with a few girls have dropped from twice a day to two or three times a week, which can be called pure heart and few desires, and he practices with all his heart.
Half a month passed quickly, and the atmosphere in the base gradually eased from sadness.
Suddenly, one day, Rick sent an invitation saying that his daughter had been born, and he hoped to invite Dr. Lyon, who had healed Lori, to the dinner party tonight.
Leon was surprised for a while, but looked at the time again, indeed, more than 9 months have passed since Lori was pregnant, and according to the constitution of Europeans and Americans, this child should indeed have been born for several days.
He did not shirk Rick's invitation, and that night, he wore a decent white suit and Amy, who was wearing a slim purple evening dress, to attend the dinner party held by Rick's house.
The location of the dinner, in the lobby on the first floor of the high-end hotel, after Colonel William and others joined the umbrella company, this high-end hotel also began to operate normally, responsible for receiving those who had temporary housing needs, mainly for those foreign employees who came from other bases and did not have housing.
The banquet hall on the first floor is also open to rent, suitable for all kinds of luncheons and dinners, weddings and funerals, in view of the principle of thrift and thrift in the last days, the fees here are relatively high, and some employees of the logistics department have also been transferred here to serve as waiters for a long time.
However, these expenses are not too much of a burden for Rick and Sean, two senior combatants of the Security Department.
When Leon and Amy arrived, he found that there were already many people in the banquet hall.
Moore, Daryl, Glenn, T-Boy, Andrea, and many of the survivors who had spent time with Lori in the quarry camp.
Jim, Quinn, Old Dale, The Morales, and many more.
Leon even saw that Carol was chatting with Lori in a wheelchair, and the two women comforted each other with tears in their eyes.
Beside them, two children, Carl and Sophia, were playing together with smiles on their faces.
Seeing these people happily gathered together, Leon's heart unconsciously produced a sense of satisfaction, different from the tragic endings in the original plot, it was because of his efforts that these kind and good people did not lose their lives and their most cherished relatives in the apocalypse, and they are now alive and well.
Soon, someone noticed the arrival of the big boss.
Rick immediately held a baby in his arms, surrounded by Sean and other macho men, with a happy smile on his face, and walked quickly to the gate to greet the two.
"Mr. Leon, Miss Amy, you're finally here."
"We are talking, it is precisely because of your help that those of us who are adrift in the last days can live until now and enjoy the happiness of this moment."
"to see the birth of this new life."
He handed the slightly wrinkled baby girl in his hand to Leon and said:
"Her name is Judith, my daughter, do you want to hug her? Mr. Lyons. ”
Looking at the baby girl with big round eyes in Rick's hand, Leon reached out and hugged her.
"Of course, the first baby born in the apocalypse, she seems to symbolize the rebirth of our human race."
