Chapter 113: Wildfire Project

June 3, 2011.

Colonel William's corps of recruits is still fighting in other nuclear power plants.

The old-school officer didn't seem to be in a hurry to wipe out the zombies entrenched in the nuclear power plant, but instead treated the operation as a new large-scale war exercise, using obstacles to divide the battlefield into several parts, using different ways to train the soldiers in all aspects of combat ability.

Of course, such a plan was also approved by Lyon in advance, as the so-called, more sweat in peacetime, less bloodshed in wartime, the number of survivors of the apocalyptic world is too small, and the army can only become more and more elite in order to reduce the loss of the population as much as possible.

However, reducing casualties is only a palliative solution after all, and at the suggestion of little Amy, Lyon signed a subsidy policy to encourage childbirth a long time ago, which has been promoted within the company.

Not only will the company provide three months of paid maternity leave for pregnant female employees, but all children under the age of 10 will be provided with a special allowance so that raising children will no longer be a burden for adults.

Not to mention, under the leadership of the big boss Leon, the effect of this strategy is very significant, according to Amy Jr., in recent months, the marriage rate of the company's internal personnel has increased significantly, not only young people often hold weddings, but even many middle-aged men and women who have lost their wives and husbands have come together.

Like Glenn, Aggie and T-boy, these three leaders of the security department who are not low-status, have also married one after another, found a good woman, and formed a complete family.

Just as he was looking through the materials in his hand, a beautiful blonde girl in a small white suit walked up to Leon and whispered to him:

"Mr. Custer, there are a number of patients in the hospital who have woken up, and Ms. Morearti would like you to visit there."

"She said that there seems to be someone in this group of patients who has more special information and wants to report it to you."

Leon's eyebrows furrowed slightly, if I remember correctly, the current batch of patients using the antidote serum should be the survivors who Iron Wolf Frank wanted to save at the beginning, including his sister, who were hiding in the shelter.

It's unfortunate to say that these people were hung on the ceiling by mutant spider monsters, and for 9 months, when they were rescued, they were all left with skin and bones.

After hanging on glucose and nutrient solution for several months, they can be considered to have recovered a little human appearance, and they can use the detoxification serum to regain consciousness, otherwise, simply let them out of the state of suspended animation, I am afraid that they will die immediately.

"Okay, Miss Avril, do you have anything else?"

Looking at this beautiful blonde girl in front of her who is low-eyed and very obedient, I am afraid it is difficult for anyone to believe that this is the child of a family of the top 100 richest people in the United States.

Avril smiled and shook her head, and diligently tidied up Leon's desk before she said politely:

"No, Mr. Custer, if you don't have any orders, I'll leave first."

"Today, the Trojan Mutual Aid Society sent me this week's trade items that I need to deal with."

Leon nodded expressionlessly, did not speak, and watched the slender back of this blonde beautiful girl leaving, with some amusement in his heart.

He knew very well in his heart that this rich girl who graduated from Harvard University should be very cautious, not as pure and good as she seems on the surface.

It's only been a long time since I joined the company, and I won Andrea's respect through the performance during the interview, and I don't know what method I passed, I won the appreciation of little Amy, and asked the little assistant to hire her as an assistant, which was almost mixed into the periphery of the decision-making level.

Very wrists.

However, to be honest, Avril is indeed a capable girl, worthy of the rich class who received elite education since childhood, Leon has heard it from little Amy, and praised this girl several times.

With these little things in mind, Leon soon came to the hospital in the base.

After a few pleasantries with Mrs. Moreadi, he was soon led by the old lady to meet the patient who claimed to have special information to tell him.

It was also a woman, who should be less than thirty years old, wearing a white hospital gown, leaning on the bed, her long chestnut hair was scattered behind her head, her face was pale, her whole body was weak, and her eyebrows and eyes revealed the temperament of a literary girl.

When Leon walked into the room, she was holding a medical book that someone had given her, and she was looking at it intently.

Every now and then, I flipped the page and didn't notice someone coming in.

It wasn't until he knocked on the door and made a sound that the girl suddenly raised her eyes and looked at Leon.

He stared at him blankly for six or seven seconds before he blinked and asked:

"Excuse me, who are you and what is the matter?"

Leon walked a little speechlessly in front of the girl's hospital bed, took out a stethoscope and checked her physical condition.

This girl felt a little cute, seeing Leon holding a stethoscope in her hand, she obediently put down the book in her hand, clumsily cooperated with Leon's examination, and did whatever she wanted, her eyes were dumbfounded, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

After some examination, Leon found that her recovery was quite normal, and the organs in her body were operating normally, but it was uncertain whether her body would have unpredictable sequelae due to this injury.

took out a chair and sat down beside the girl's bed, Leon shook hands with the girl a little strongly, and said:

"Miss Hathaway, I'm Leon Custer, the boss of the Umbrella Company, and I heard Mrs. Moretti say that you have some special information to tell me, right?"

Hearing Leon's question, the girl named Hathaway was stunned for another two or three seconds before she woke up from a dream and said:

"Oh! Oh! Yes. ”

She was a little uneasy, pulled the quilt covering her body, and brewed for more than ten seconds before saying:

"Mr. Custer, that's the case, I wonder if you've heard of the wildfire project?"

Wildfire plans?

Leon frowned, feeling as if he had heard of it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

Lazy to think about it, he squinted his eyes and asked:

"Miss Hathaway, I haven't heard of it, what is this wildfire plan?"

Hathaway hesitated for a few seconds before speaking:

"I don't know too much about the wildfire project."

"However, I am a researcher working in pharmaceutical development, and I used to be the head of medical research projects at the famous Johnson & Johnson pharmaceutical company."

"Three years ago, I and some other medical researchers were invited to participate in a military research project to extract a completely new biological cell from a meteorite in outer space."

"The person in charge of that project was a very well-known authority in the industry, Dr. Manhattan."

"According to Dr. Manhattan's research, this biological cell extracted from space meteorites has extremely strong vitality and compatibility, can absorb various energies in the air for division and evolution, and its life cycle is hundreds of times that of ordinary cells, almost immortal, and it is jokingly called the God cell by the doctor."

"Dr. Manhattan's purpose is to take advantage of the particularity of this cell, integrate it into the human body, help human beings overcome all diseases, and let the human body complete evolution and obtain eternal life."

"I know, that seems ridiculous."

As he spoke, Hathaway smiled a little bitterly, stared at the snow-white sheets on his body, and continued:

"But this kind of cell is really amazing, and all the researchers present at the time were attracted by the powerful vitality of that cell and the infinite possibilities of evolution."

"We put all our energy into developing it, studying it, and it took more than a year to successfully graft this cell onto an orangutan."

"Let this orangutan become an orangutan with a lifespan close to immortality."

Hathaway raised her hand and tucked the long chestnut hair that fell down to her face behind her ears, and looked at Leon's eyes with some shame.

"Dr. Manhattan kept the follow-up research confidential, and I was transferred out of the research project."

"However, listen to my colleagues who are still on the project team."

"This plan is classified as top secret by the military, and the name of the research project is Project Wildfire."

"Later, after the disaster broke out, my brother took me to take refuge here."

"During that time, I found that the changes in these monsters were similar to some of the data we had studied at the beginning."

"Therefore, I suspect that the root cause of this global catastrophe is likely to be those special biological cells from outer space, and the source of the disaster is likely to be due to an unknown change in the wildfire program."

Listening to Hathaway's words, Leon nodded thoughtfully, but quickly put these things aside, the world has become like this, and it is useless to investigate the cause and culprit of the disaster, it is better to think about how to live better in this world.

However, one thing is certain, this woman named Hathaway should be a very useful professional for the study of zombie viruses.

Leaving her to Dr. Mephala would most likely be of great help to the virus research.

Thinking of this, Leon's handsome face showed a kind smile of business, and he pretended to be very concerned and asked:

"Lady Hathaway, what's your brother's name, and if he's still alive, I'll help you find him."

Hathaway's eyes lit up, grabbed Leon's palm, and said with some eagerness:

"His name is Frank Torres, and he's an active-duty officer who led his troops to New York City before I entered the Vault."

"If you can help me find him, I'll always remember your kindness, Mr. Custer."

Frank, it was actually the iron wolf Frank, hearing this name, the corner of Leon's eyes twitched unconsciously.

In fact, during this time, he has been thinking about whether to secretly make a trick to let this shrewd captain die quietly and heroically.

In that way, he could take advantage of the situation and eat the more than 100 professional soldiers in his hands, gain a combat power, and remove a hidden danger.

But later, considering that there is no impermeable wall under the sky, and that he will have to get along with those soldiers day and night in the future, maybe if he does this, he will leave a big thunder for himself, so he hesitated and didn't do anything.

Unexpectedly, this iron wolf Frank also has a sister who can be called a genius researcher, which makes his heart even more unstable.

However, after all, it was only a matter of urgency, and Leon suppressed his thoughts, and began to chat with the Hathaway lady about the wildfire project and the extraterrestrial meteorite.

After a free conversation, he found that Hathaway, the sister of Iron Wolf Frank, did not seem to inherit his brother's city and cunning at all, because he had been in the environment of the research room for a long time, and the whole person was like a nerd, simple and dull, not deeply involved in the world, and easy to trust others.

In particular, the eyes are light blue, clear and transparent, and they look like a newborn sika deer.

Thinking of this, Leon took a covert and serious look at Hathaway's appearance and figure.

Although she was still in a weak state due to her illness, she could not see it very clearly, but she could still see that she was beautiful and lovely, with big eyes, a high nose, and a figure like his brother Frank, all of whom had a feeling of toning and plumpness peculiar to Slavs.

Thinking back to the time when she checked her cardiopulmonary function just now, that kind of fullness, softness and elasticity, although I don't understand it very well, it should be stalactite-shaped, a man's dream.

So, Leon decided to sacrifice his beauty, and he sincerely invited Hathaway to join Dr. Mephala's research project and become a researcher after he recovered, and at the same time made a decision with some self-deprecation.

Frank, Frank, whether you survive this time depends on whether your sister is good or not.

Presumably, when we become a family, when my son calls you uncle, you should be able to use you for me.

In the afternoon, Leon accompanied the Stinger squad on a combat drill and supervised the excavation of the moat by the captives in the camp.

After a busy day, in the evening, when Peggy and Amy were having dinner together, Colonel William, who was on the front line, suddenly sent a communication request and sent a video file together.

Leon immediately paused dinner and connected to his communications.

After being connected, Colonel William's voice was still serious and calm, and it did not seem to be a serious accident.

"General, this afternoon, when we were cleaning up the Wickton nuclear power plant, a very special mutated zombie suddenly rushed out of the inside of the nuclear power plant."

"Please watch what we have filmed."

Peggy immediately obediently handed over a laptop, turned on the screen, and clicked the play button.

Looking at the angle of the shot in the frame, it should be a top-down view from the sky taken by Sherman controlling the reconnaissance drone.

In the picture, at the gate of the nuclear power plant, which was surrounded by a large group of zombies, a huge monster seven or eight meters tall and similar to a tank-type zombie suddenly bent down and walked out.

He was naked, with brownish-green skin, a wand-like thing between his legs, swaying from side to side, his whole body was extremely muscular, his head was huge, his facial features were twisted, and he had a large mouth full of sharp teeth, and his appearance was extremely ugly.

After walking out of the nuclear power plant, he just glanced at Colonel William and the others, who were still using various artillery and tanks to attack the zombie hordes a few kilometers away, and ignored them.

Instead, he walked to the group of corpses closest to him, sat directly on the ground, grabbed a mutated zombie with his hand, and stuffed it directly into his mouth like eating beef jerky.

The juice from the bite splashed everywhere, and I didn't even vomit the bones and clothes residues, and swallowed them whole.

And he ate very fast, almost half a minute, for 10 minutes in a row, he ate more than ten or twenty mutated zombies.

After eating, the huge humanoid monster burped comfortably, and then swaggered into the nuclear power plant again, making the three Leon people watching the video a little dumbfounded.

Although little Amy had heard of the existence of this special super monster, it was the first time she saw it with her own eyes, and she was suddenly shocked and asked a little dazed:

"Boss, what is this, is it a giant in mythology?"
