"Radiant crabs!"

Leon muttered, and involuntarily thought of the juicy taste of this crab meat.

To put it bluntly, although the residual nuclear radiation of the residual part of the irradiated crab meat is slightly harmful to the human body, its taste is more delicious than any seafood on the market in the past.

Leon also asked Hathaway to test this, and the result was that most of the ingredients in these crab meat are rich in protein, and also contain many trace elements, rich in nutritional value, which is very suitable for human absorption.

In the words of Professor Marlock, the nutritional value of this kind of radiated crab meat is 30 times that of ordinary beef, and it is an excellent ingredient with great cultivation value.

As for those minor harms, they are not worth mentioning as much as smoking is harmful to health.

And with the weight of each radiation crab exceeding 50 kilograms, its meat production is almost close to 40%, which means that each radiation can dig out more than 15 kilograms of edible meat.

After thinking for a few minutes, he said to Konstantin:

"Find a way to set a trap to catch them alive, or use a sniper rifle to clean up those radiation crabs on the periphery."

"They taste good, and they can be used to treat our soldiers and residents."

"I'll send a couple of researchers over to help you figure out the weaknesses of these guys, and by the way, see if there's any possibility of breeding this kind of radiation crab."

Konstantin was also a person who had eaten this delicious crab meat, and of course he understood Leon's intentions, nodded and said:

"I see, Boss."

"Actually, after our experiments, the perception of these radiation crabs is not keen, when we deal with them, almost as long as the distance exceeds a hundred meters, they will not be able to perceive the existence of the enemy, and enter a state of blind swimming, which is not difficult to deal with."

Leon nodded, and said speculatively:

"Based on our experience with the previous exploration of the nuclear power plant, there must have been a super-mutant in the Avant nuclear power plant as well."

"And judging from the fact that there are so many radiant crabs that have been bred outside, there is a high probability that there is a radiant crab queen who can breed offspring."

"It's going to be a very difficult monster to deal with, so you'd better not provoke her until you don't have enough information."

"Wait until we've cleaned up the little monsters on the outside, and then think about how to deal with it."

The two discussed this matter for a while, Florida is a relatively prosperous state in America, there are a total of three nuclear power plants in it, the St. Lucie nuclear power plant has been destroyed by a nuclear explosion, and the Avent nuclear power plant has been occupied by radiation crabs, and there is only one Armstrong nuclear power plant left.

However, when Leon asked about the nuclear power plant, Konstantin shook his head and said:

"Boss, we sent someone to the Armstrong nuclear power plant to investigate, there was nothing in there, it was empty, everything was taken away."

"Really?"

Hearing this answer, Leon raised his eyebrows, and at the same time his heart was slightly relieved, but also faintly lost.

He knew Konstantin, it was impossible to lie to him about this, and in the impression that there was only one organization that could do it, and that was Freemasonry.

This mysterious organization also seems to know very well that nuclear radiation can cause the zombie virus to mutate, and when you think of the powerful strength they once had all over the world, no one can figure out how many nuclear materials these guys have collected and what kind of monsters they have created.

Exhaling lightly, Leon thought of something else, using the Z element in the pink octopus monster's body, Hathaway and Professor Melfa developed a virus inhibitor, and after more than a year of production, the number of zombies is about more than five thousand.

And in the Human Federation, counting all the members of the Stinger team, as well as a few people on Constantine's side, the number of all virus-infected people is about forty.

In the past year or so, they have consumed about 500 stalemates, although only one-tenth of the total, but in times of peace, once there is a large-scale virus infection in the future, the number of these stalemates will definitely not be enough.

The main element of the stalemate in production is the Z element in the body of those super mutants, which is reminiscent of the armed conflict between the CRM Civic Republic and Freemasons near Chicago.

Perhaps these super-mutants are not a nuisance, but may be a precious resource, or maybe.

And the organizations competing for these resources are most likely the ones that have opened zombie technology.

I just don't know which organization has more developed zombie technology compared to CRM Citizen Republic City and Freemasonry.

Have they developed a serum that can truly cure zombie virus infection?

………………

Freemasonry, North American Division Headquarters.

A voice full of majesty asked:

"So, what's going on with this fungal virus?"

"We've lost so many people."

"Do all the people in your research department eat rice?"

The young man known as His Highness the Divine Son looked at the report in his hand with a solemn face, and under his divine seat, more than a dozen researchers in white coats also looked solemn.

I don't know how long it took, but a slightly old voice replied:

"His Royal Highness the Divine Son, according to our intelligence, the source of this matter should be Professor Charles from Seattle City, Washington State."

"The research project he is responsible for is to use the ability of fungi to reproduce themselves and repair the loss of human beings to achieve longevity."

"But it's a pity that the institute that Charles is in charge of lost contact with us two months ago."

"And the source of the fungal virus that is currently spreading in eastern America is from Washington state."

The young man, known as His Highness the Divine Son, looked at the old man who spoke out, forced himself to hold back his anger, and asked in a dumb voice:

"Professor Hades, is that to say, the loss of our three strongholds in eastern America all self-inflicted?"

The white-haired old professor, his expression did not change, and he said in a non-hurried tone:

"Yes, when Charles was assigned to the Washington State Institute, I was against it."

"He's my apprentice, and I'm well aware of his abilities, and this kind of research, which has no countermeasures, has a high chance of causing unpredictable dangers."

"It was Your Highness, who thought that this kind of research was likely to be successful, that gave permission to Charles's research."

"Now, it's just my hunch that has come true."

Syllable!

Miko's right hand slapped fiercely on the armrest of the seat, and scolded:

"I didn't let you here to hear such worthless taunts."

"Now, this fungal virus has begun to infect all the zombies in the entire eastern part of America, and the changes in these zombies have caused great losses to our forces."

"A serious threat to our divine plan."

"You have to come up with a solution as soon as possible to get rid of this fungus and get everything back on track."

"That's what I've called you for."

The old man known as Hades didn't care about cowardice, and said bluntly:

"I'm sorry, but we can't help it, Your Highness the Divine Son."

"This fungal virus is very different from the zombie virus we studied, and now, they have fused and mutated with each other."

"It's not impossible to find a serum to restrain it, but the time it takes is measured in years."

"Science is rigorous, and we are just ordinary researchers, and we can't conjure up an antidote out of thin air."

Speaking of this, Hades showed a self-deprecating smile and said:

"Besides, even if we develop an antidote to this fungal virus, we won't be able to deal with them at the rate at which they are expanding."

"This fungal viral infection will definitely spread to the whole world in the future."

"This guy Charles really did something that changed the world."

When the young man named Miko saw the most authoritative researcher in the North American branch, with such a bad attitude, the green tendons on his forehead couldn't help but bulge, and he said with a dark face:

"Professor Hades, I said it, and what I want to hear is a solution, not for you to tell me how difficult it is."

"These zombies infected with fungal viruses have a speed close to that of ordinary people, and their sensitivity to sound has even exceeded the level of humans."

"Their combat effectiveness is already a serious threat to our low-level combatants."

"It will also force a drastic reduction in the number of survivors."

"If we don't control their spread, we'll soon be left alone."

To this, Hades yawned and said:

"It's you who are too worried, Your Highness the Divine Son, although the mode of transmission of the fungal virus is through the air, most of us survivors who survived have been immune to this weak mode of transmission."

"Unless the concentration of fungi in the air is visible to the naked eye, we generally don't get infected by this fungal virus."

"But if it's a scratch or bite, then you have to be careful, and the virus inhibitors we are developing now may not be able to suppress it."

………………

Time passed slowly, and Jesus had been in the camp of the Salvation Army for two or three days.

Remembering the meeting with the leader of the Salvation Army, the man named Negan, the other day, Jesus still remembered it for a long time.

He was a very imposing and charismatic man.

Not only did he agree to Jesus' terms, but he also allowed him to enter the warrior class of the Salvation Army.

There is no doubt that Negan was the kind of man who was full of courage and wisdom, and at the same time the kind of man that Jesus hated very much.

They take advantage of the chaotic order of the last days, the fears and weaknesses of others, for their own benefit, and build their happiness on the suffering of others.

However, Jesus also had to admit that although the low-level workers in the Salvation Army did not live in good conditions and worked very hard, at least they still had a way to live, food and shelter, and were far away from the threat of zombies.

And the Salvation Army's ability to gather thousands of people must also have his merits.

Jesus took advantage of an opportunity to go out and successfully used a radio communication hidden somewhere to get in touch with Rick and Sean.

"Mr. Rick, I've found out the basics of the Salvation Army."

"In addition to the more than 2,000 people in the main base, they seem to have several military strongholds in other places."

"The number of soldiers is probably less than a thousand, but most of them are armed with metal armor and body armor, and although they are not outstanding in terms of dexterity, they are effective in resisting the fire of ordinary firearms."

"And in terms of weapons, in addition to many light weapons, there are also some heavy weapons, and there are some explosive weapons such as military trucks and rocket launchers."

"With the situation of our ordinary survivor bases, it is impossible to defeat an organization with so many soldiers."

"We need your help."

After hearing this, Rick was also a little shocked by the strength of the Salvation Army, you must know that when the People's Federation was still an umbrella company, it only had such strength.

However, unlike the Salvation Army, which only cares about developing fighters, the Federation has never given up the tasks of production, research and development, and material collection since its establishment.

In the end, he gathered all the resources in the whole of Georgia and successfully gained a foothold in the end times.

"Jesus, I will report this information to our Excellency the President in the future."

"Still, I don't think this matter has to be resolved through bloodshed."

"We humans are scarce enough, and the thousands of people in the Salvation Army will certainly not all be bad, at least the oppressed workers will certainly be innocent."

"Your Excellency the President has prepared an army that will help you deal with the Salvation Army if you can't do anything."

"Before you can do that, though, you need to try to unite with other groups oppressed by the Salvation Army to form an alliance against the Salvation Army, and we can provide you with resources and weapons."

Jesus was a little disappointed when he heard this, but he also knew that there was no free lunch in the world, and it was a great blessing to be able to get the support of the People's Federation.

"Thank you, Mr. Rick."

"I'm going to work on that."

………………

Meanwhile, Nick's family, who fled Texas, finally arrived in Mississippi after a long journey of several days.

Compared with Texas, which is arid in all seasons and sparsely populated, Mississippi has the Mississippi River, a world-famous freshwater river, rich in fish resources, beautiful environment and pleasant climate, which is indeed a more suitable place for survival.

However, this family is really not lucky.

As they gathered on the banks of the Mississippi River to fish and replenish food, they were suddenly kidnapped by a group of men dressed in soldier clothes and armed with ammunition.

Not only did they steal all their supplies, but they were also escorted to the city of New Orleans, which is located at the mouth of the Mississippi River.

There, they meet a group of crazy people, a group of armed men who have lost all their loved ones, who have lost all their faith, and who are bewitched by an old man like a god stick, who are trying to destroy the world.

Of course, not all cats and dogs have that confidence, thinking that they can destroy the world.

The reason why this group of armed men thought they could destroy the world was because they had seized one of the most destructive weapons in the modern world, a nuclear submarine, by chance.

A nuclear submarine with five nuclear warheads, as well as the corresponding launchers.

The world is nuclear, this matter is not a joke.

However, Ivan, the old man who owns this nuclear submarine, is not a fool who knows nothing about military knowledge.

He is well aware that most of the world's military bases, or nuclear bombs and their interceptors, are now out of control of them.

But as long as military satellites are still there, the automatic counterattack system and interception system for a nuclear strike will operate automatically.

Any move to carry out a nuclear strike on a country with these systems will be intercepted or even counterattacked by them.

So even with a nuclear submarine as a weapon of destruction, Ivan and his soldiers did not dare to act rashly.

They lurk in the harbor at the entrance to the Mississippi River, waiting for the day when the military satellites that have lost their maintenance fail, and then let this world of despair and pain be buried with them.

However, Ivan never thought about what kind of disaster the Nick family, who were captured by them to use as tools, to die.

Since the outbreak of the disaster, any survivor group that has taken in Nick's family has been wiped out by other organizations or zombie hordes under their outwitting actions.

So far, there have been no accidents.
