Because sooner or later this matter will be exposed, it is not a shameful thing.

Leon simply took little Clerment and his two little wives to Professor Marlock's experimental center.

As soon as they entered the research center, Leon and the others saw the thin Professor Marlock sitting in the hall, pale and eating the strangely shaped food on the plate with a knife and fork.

It was a huge piece of meat with suction cups and eyeballs, and although the outer skin had been cooked to a slightly charred black-brown color, the inside of the piece could still be seen to be pink from the notch cut by the knife.

Leon was shocked that this Professor Marlock was actually eating the tentacles of the mutant octopus, which was a mutated creature full of zombie viruses.

Could it be that he is more fierce than Bei Ye?

At this time, Professor Marlock also noticed that there were guests in his research room, he looked up and saw the big boss and the two proprietresses, and then looked at the extremely bad-looking food on his plate, and stood up with some embarrassment, and said hello to Leon and the others.

"Mr. Custer, it's not what you think it is."

Professor Marlock, who was a little thin, pushed his black-rimmed glasses and said solemnly:

"After our professional testing, the zombie virus cannot survive in high temperatures, and the flesh and blood of this octopus monster is extremely rich in nutritional value, there are no toxic substances harmful to the human body, and it is also rich in vitamins and minerals."

"Although the taste tastes like tires, the taste is also very bad, but its nutritional content is more than 30 times that of beef, rich in protein, long-term consumption of its effect, can quickly enhance the body's physical fitness, make people strong at an amazing speed, than those blowing the sky of health products, nutrition, much stronger."

Saying that, the thin professor touched his chest where he could clearly feel his ribs, and said with a resolute face:

"I also discovered that in the current world, it is very necessary to have a good body, wait for me to eat it for a month to see the effect."

"If it works well, we can use it as a reward for those brave warriors."

After Professor Mallock finished speaking, he picked up the eyeballs in the lump of meat with his fork, stuffed them into his mouth, and snapped out a lot of green juice.

The three women, one big and one small, all immediately showed disgusted expressions, frightened by the hideous and disgusting food on the plate.

However, Leon thought carefully about Professor Marlock's words, and if the truth was really as he said, it would be good to find another way to strengthen the combat effectiveness of the troops.

After a moment's thought, he reached out and patted Professor Mallock on the shoulder, removed the knife and fork from his hand, and said in a slightly reproachful tone:

"Professor Marlock, you are taking too much risk in doing this, your knowledge and experience are the most valuable assets of our umbrella company, and you cannot take risks for these uncertain reasons."

"I'll have someone send three captives over tomorrow, and try the effect on them first, isn't there still that mutant spider corpse, its body tissue, let's see if it can be used as waste."

As he spoke, Leon's voice changed.

"Of course, the lives of captives are also fate, and if you are not very sure, don't easily experiment with their lives."

After chatting with Professor Marlock about the matter, the group was led into the giant cell where the giant Tom was being held.

Speaking of which, this was also the second time Leon had been here, and he was a little surprised when he saw the giant Tom in his cell again.

The ugly giant at the bottom of the cell, at this time, was wearing a gray suspender pants with a white suspen, a black linen gown, and his fluffy hair was shaved into an inch, and he was obediently cleaning the dungeon with a giant broom.

A one-person-high metal door was opened through the metal wall of the cell, and several researchers were pushing a large bucket of hot soup and a large amount of Black Hawk bread into the cell.

Tom, the giant in his bib pants, just glanced at the staff, and was immediately attracted by the food they were pushing, his eyes were firmly fixed on the iron bucket and bread, and the cleaning of his hands became slower and slower, and the sticky green saliva unconsciously flowed from the corners of his mouth.

However, this big man who was seven or eight meters tall just stood and stared at the food intently, although his saliva was drooling, he didn't make any other movements.

That is, until the workers poured the hot soup from the iron bucket into an iron basin more than a meter wide, put the piles of bread next to the iron basin, and then knocked an iron bell hanging on the wall.

The big giant Tom put down the tools in his hand, sat down on a seat next to the iron bowl, carefully picked up the iron bowl more than one meter wide, and picked up a piece of bread and ate it deliciously, regardless of the hot soup.

Leon looked at all this happening in the cell with a look of amazement, but he didn't expect that in just two months, Professor Mallock would be able to tame this monster so obediently.

Even already in him, there is no longer any wildness and aggression.

"How did you do that, Professor Marlock?"

Professor Mallock pushed his eyes a little proudly, and said in a modest tone with a hint of smugness:

"It's the power of science, and we've used a combination of methods to achieve this effect, hypnosis, psychology, brain science, biology, mimicry, and some drugs that target the secretion of hormones in the brain."

"However, the most important thing is that this employee named Tom is also a very kind person by nature, so he can have such an effect in such a short period of time."

Speaking of this, Professor Marlock carefully observed Clementine, who was following Leon and the others, and observed for a full minute or two, and hid behind Amy with some fear as the little girl looked, before nodding with satisfaction and saying:

"Yes, yes, Mr. Custer."

"This little girl fits Tom's image of the most important person in his heart, that person should be her daughter, this young lady is very similar to Tom's daughter in all aspects of age, skin color, and figure, and it should be easy to gain his trust."

Leon looked into Marlock's eyes and said with a serious expression:

"This girl's name is Clay Manting, and she is an important presence like my family."

"Professor Marlock, I also thought about it for a long time and made a lot of determination before I chose to bring her here."

"You promised me that there would be no danger in taming Tom, so I trusted you so much."

A serious expression appeared on Professor Mallock's slightly pale face, and he spoke:

"Don't worry, Mr. Custer, we won't let this girl have direct contact with Tom until we're absolutely sure, and there will be absolutely no danger."

"And, as soon as we find out that Tom has any actions that could harm Miss Clarementine, we will activate the instantaneous destruction device inside him and end Tom's life."

Leon's basic trust in the professor was still there, and he nodded, and finally added:

"Remember, this Miss Clementine is my family, and you have to think about it before you do anything."

Throughout the afternoon, in the company of Leon, Amy and Peggy, Claymentine met the giant named Tom for the first time, played some mini-games with him through voice, and also participated in a feeding session accompanied by the staff.

Although the little girl had some fear of the giant at first, this fear slowly disappeared after seeing Tom's stupid and clumsy side.

After an afternoon of training, Amy and Peggy leave with the little girl after an appointment with Claymante, a taming job that cannot be done in a day or two in a short period of time, and it will take several months for Claymanting to develop enough trust and understanding with Tom.

In the evening, Amy brings Claymentine, Leon, and Peggy to dinner.

But after dinner, the little assistant Amy rarely scolded Leon in front of the others, complaining that he had brought a child like Little Clamantine into such a dangerous matter, and had made such a decision without the prior consent of several of them.

Leon, though he was also a little embarrassed, still gave his reasons.

He believes that the future world is unpredictable, everyone may encounter irresistible dangers, and if they do not have the ability to protect themselves, they may lose their lives at any time.

Although Tom also has some dangers, he is still a power that can be mastered, and if he takes such power into his own hands, he may be able to save his life at some point.

However, little Amy still didn't agree with Leon's point of view, but after the man repeatedly assured that he would not put little Claymanting in danger, he had to bury the matter in his heart.

Since then, Amy has become more concerned about little Claymanting's affairs.

As the harvest celebration gets closer and closer, the employees of Umbrella seem to be more and more motivated, and sometimes they can be heard smiling brightly in just a few words, as if everyone is looking forward to the celebration.

However, at this time, the Daryl troops, who had been in charge of cleaning up Georgia's stronghold on the East Coast, suddenly came with news.

In the small town of Charleston on the East Coast, they found a group of refugees from Florida, numbering about 200.

Daryl asks Leon what to do with the people.

After a brief period of consideration, he gave the order.

A few hours later, under the half-forced, half-invited escort of Daryl, the refugees were met in Lyon, in a vacant barracks at the Fort Benning base.

Most of them are young and middle-aged people, with yellow faces and thin muscles, panic, covered with patches of red skin, and some even have hair loss and coma, which is a physical reaction after being injured by a large amount of radiation.

Considering the explosion at the St. Lucie nuclear power plant in Florida, it is clear that these people are indeed refugees who fled there.

Looking at these refugees who were suffering from injuries and hunger, looking at their helpless, fearful and expectant eyes, Leon thought for a moment, held back the doubts in his heart, and did not immediately ask them questions.

Instead, some medical supplies and hospital beds were moved to the vacant barracks, some seriously ill refugees were treated, and delicious food and accommodation were prepared and delivered to these refugees.

A team of soldiers was sent to guard all corners of the barracks to prevent them from doing anything harmful to both sides, and Leon himself returned to the office with Daryl himself.

He was going to get some observable information from Daryl first, and wait until the next day, when the refugees had recovered their spirits, to ask them other questions.
