Chapter 162: Windfall

To be able to see Jesus in the Radiation Zone was also something that Dehuai had not expected.

At the beginning, when he was sent by Negan to the hilltop village to investigate, he thought that the hilltop village was his hope for revenge.

As a result, before the opportunity for revenge, a nuclear explosion war occurred, and for a time the sky fell apart, the world changed, and everything was different.

He and his wife, Shirley, have endured for many years in the savage and cruel Salvation Army.

However, these things were left behind by Dwight in a blink of an eye, and now, the most important thing in his heart is the safety of his wife Shirley.

In this post-apocalyptic world, medicine has become more precious than food, and besides, with Shirley's current situation, even if he finds a doctor, he is not sure that those people will be able to save his wife.

Holding the mood of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, Dwight took his wife in his arms and said in a hoarse voice:

"Jesus, here I am."

"We need doctors."

Jesus frowned, thought for a few seconds, and said:

"I'm sorry, Dwight."

"We have doctors, but they're not here, and our nearest base is a hundred kilometers away."

"However, you can tell us how your wife was injured, and maybe, we have the medicine to treat it."

This is not a boast, as the most elite fighters of the People's Federation, they are equipped with the highest technology of the People's Federation, and the drugs on their bodies are also the rarest and most expensive, and they can treat ordinary injuries very well.

Dwight was originally very disappointed, but after hearing Jesus' words, it was like grasping the last straw, and his whole body burst out with great strength, and at his fastest speed, he picked up Shirley, staggered downstairs, and came to Jesus.

"Thank you, Mr. Jesus."

"Shirley, she's been bitten by mutant mosquitoes in the radiation zone, and I'm not sure how to save her."

"She's in a coma now, and she's having a high fever all over her body."

Looking at Dwight with an eager expression on his face, Jesus saw it in his eyes, he squatted down to Shirley's side, reached out and touched the woman's forehead, and found that she was hot all over, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and on the wound on her left arm that was bitten by mosquitoes, her fair skin turned black and red, and there was fishy pus oozing out of the wound.

After thinking about it for a few seconds, he took out a green reagent with a needle from his waist bag, pricked a needle near Shirley's wound, and said:

"This is a general antidote developed by our scientific research department, and the effect is not bad, and it should relieve the toxins in Ms. Shirley's body."

"In the team a few kilometers away from us, there is no professional doctor, but there is also a researcher who specializes in studying the monsters of the radiation zone."

"I'll ask Miss Jill to take you with me and see if he can do it."

After saying that, Jesus said to the rest of the team who had already dealt with Simon and the others:

"Jill, Chris, you two take Mr. Dwight and these captives and go to Colonel Frank together."

"Tell him what happened here, and the others will continue to explore the road with me."

After saying that, he pointed to the many horses tied in a corner, and said:

"It just so happens that Mr. Simon has sent us ten horses, and you can ride seven more, which will count as trophies of our mission."

………………

The road in the radiation zone is far from peaceful, along the way, not only the stinger team led by Jesus encountered all kinds of strange-shaped monsters, but even the large army of hundreds of soldiers led by Frank had blindless brutes who dared to provoke.

Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da! Da-da-da-da!

A group of fanged, pitted skin, and even covered with pustules and rotten sores, when they saw them, it was as if the orangutan saw the banana, the bear saw the honey, and the wild dog saw Ollie.

A dozen four-legged beasts, large and small, dared to foolishly charge Frank's troops.

Of course, Colonel Iron Wolf would not get used to them, and immediately commanded the soldiers to fight, and in an instant, hundreds of submachine guns fired at them.

But obviously, these stupid monsters also have their own capital to run rampant in the radiation zone, and the rifle bullets hit its scaly body, although the flesh and blood of them were blurred, but it still did not affect the speed of their charge.

Only those bullets that actually hit their heads can inflict fatal damage on these monsters.

Although Frank was upset by the appearance of these monsters, Reiner, the researcher who followed their team, was very excited.

Before these monsters could die, Professor Mallock's apprentice, a strong researcher who had also trained a body of tendons, ran up with a pile of equipment and excitement on his face.

With his hands and feet he quickly pulled a sharp dagger out of his waist bag and began to pound around the disgusting-looking monster like a butcher.

While cutting, he was still muttering to himself:

"Hey, although the skin on the body is full of rotten flesh, the proportion of meat in the body is very high."

"Looking at this structure, it seems that the fat content is also good."

"Wow, it looks like it's all protein!"

"Maybe like the mutant mole, it can become our new meat!"

He tinkered for more than ten minutes, and after successfully dismembering a monster, he said to Colonel Frank with a smile on his face:

"Colonel, we'd better take a few back, we don't have samples of this creature in our lab yet."

"Judging by their appearance, they must have changed from dolphin creatures such as wild boars."

"Maybe there's still value in farming."

Frank nodded expressionlessly, although he also had some impatience in his heart, but collecting samples in the radiation area was also one of their tasks.

Soon, with the help of some soldiers, these dozen or so ugly creatures, large and small, were packed into fully enclosed vacuum bags.

Counting this batch, they have been attacked by seven or eight strange creatures, including mutant cockroaches, mutated zombies, mutated mosquitoes, mutated wild dogs, and so on.

Fortunately, although these creatures have undergone mutations, they are only some physical alienations, and they have become rough and thick, which is more difficult to deal with.

But at the end of the day, it's carbon-based creatures that can be destroyed with guns and bullets.

Back in the group, Dwight, who was following near the carriage, immediately stepped forward, followed Researcher Reiner, and asked:

"Mr. Reiner, Shirley's fever has subsided now, but she is still unconscious, will there be any sequelae if she faints like this for a few days?"

Reiner's face still maintained the excitement of discovering a new species, he glanced at Dwight and said bluntly without care:

"There will definitely be an effect, those toxins stay in her body, how can it not have an effect."

"However, I don't have any tools in my hands now, and there are no doctors to cooperate with us in surgery, so even if I want to treat her, there is no way."

Dwight was anxious when he heard this, and in his heart, Shirley's safety was more important than anything else, and he immediately said:

"Where is the doctor, I'll go to him now."

Reiner looked at Dwight with the eyes of a fool and said:

"Mr. Dwight, not to mention, our professional doctors are in a stronghold hundreds of kilometers away."

"Even if you can get there, why do you think we're going to treat you?"

"If it weren't for Captain Jesus' face, do you think we'd waste so much medicine on you outsiders?"

"The value of these drugs alone now requires a month's worth of hard work."

Although Reiner's words were ugly, they also made Dwight speechless, indeed, in the current apocalyptic world, any resource is incomparably precious, but human life is not worth mentioning.

And as he had seen, the strength of this human alliance organization could not be threatened by an ordinary person like him.

But if he watched his wife get hurt, it would be worse than killing him.

Thinking of this, Dwight asked with some difficulty:

"Mr. Reiner, is there nothing you can do to help my wife?"

Life and death, the survivors have seen too much, and they have long been numb, and in the face of Dwight's question, Reiner casually sorted out his research report, saying:

"Our People's Federation has always paid attention to equal exchange and fair trade."

"If you can bring great benefits to our human association, I don't think even Colonel Frank would mind sending someone to escort you to our base for treatment."

Hearing this, Dwight hurriedly asked:

"Mr. Reiner, can you tell me what kind of things are the great gains for the People's Federation?"

Seeing that the man beside him was still not dead, Reiner looked at him with some pity and said:

"To tell you the truth, Mr. Dwight, the resources of our People's Federation are quite abundant, food, medicine, guns, gunpowder, all of them are sparse and ordinary things for us."

"I don't think you average survivors can have anything that would be of value to us."

"However, if you find a military base, a biological institute, or something like that, it might interest our people."

Originally, hearing Reiner's words, Dwight was a little desperate, but the research institute he mentioned at the end made Dwight think of one thing, and immediately said to Reiner with some excitement:

"Mr. Reiner, I know the location of an institute."

"Three days ago, Negan, the boss of the Salvation Army, led a group of people to look for the institute."

"I remember they said that it was like a secret research institute of an organization called Freemasonry."

"I know that position, I don't know if this information can be exchanged, you treat my wife."

Originally, Reiner didn't pay much attention to Dwight's words, after all, this was an ordinary fugitive couple, not even a talent.

However, when he heard the name Freemasonry, he was a little surprised.

You know, the name of Freemasonry is generally only circulated within the upper echelons of the People's Federation, and even many middle-level managers do not know about this organization.

Even he had only heard of the organization because he was an apprentice to Professor Marlock, but now he heard it from an outsider, and it obviously didn't seem like nonsense.

So, Reiner restrained his expression and said to Dwight in a serious tone:

"Mr. Dwight, are you sure you're talking about Freemasonry?"

"This matter is very important, if you lie to us, it is not an apology, and you will be fine."

Dwight hesitated for a few seconds, trying to recall the incident in his head, and then said with certainty:

"That's right, Mr. Reiner, we caught an old man who claimed to be a biological researcher from the radiation zone and gave him a hard lecture before he revealed the location of the institute to us."

"Later, Negan interrogated him alone, and when he came out, he was very excited."

"We were told that there were a lot of good things in the institute, and then we organized more than 200 people and set off three days ago."

"My wife and I also took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the Salvation Army."

Reiner listened carefully, nodded, and then said to Dwight:

"Let's go, let's go and report this to Colonel Frank first, and then report this matter to His Excellency the President."

"His Excellency the President has always been very concerned about the affairs of Freemasonry."

………………

Inside the general base of the People's Federation.

Lyons also happens to be in Professor Marlock's research center.

In a fully enclosed underground laboratory of the research center, in a transparent petri dish made of a large amount of steel and tempered glass, a naked European and American woman with various glass tubes and bound by metal shackles is floating quietly in an unknown liquid.

From the woman's sharp claws and inky eyes, it can be determined that she is a special mutated zombie, a type of zombie who has been jointly named a zombie lord.

This is a mutated zombie that is good at hiding and controlling other zombies to act together.

What is surprising is that the belly of this female zombie actually bulges high like a pregnant woman, and as time passes, it seems to have a heartbeat, rising and falling again and again.

Standing beside Leon, Professor Marlock, who seemed to be Mr. Bodybuilder, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, stared at the female zombie in the petri dish with his eyes, and said in an exclamatory tone:

"It's amazing, Your Excellency, that a corpse has been given birth to a new life."

"It's just against the laws of nature, and if someone had told me about it ten years ago, I would have slapped him in the mouth and scolded him for being a madman."

Leon's eyes also flashed with surprise, this was originally just a whim of his, in the series about "Zombie Country" that he watched in the past, the protagonist Murphy made a zombie pregnant, but he didn't expect that in this world, his sperm can still do such a thing, it's not scientific at all.

Slightly startled, he immediately reined in his thoughts, and at the same time warned himself in his heart not to make mistakes that people regret because of greed.

After calming down, he said to the professor next to him:

"Professor Marlock, strictly speaking, zombies are not real corpses, they are more like another special life form."

"It's a catastrophe caused by a special life form from outer space."

"And what happened to Murphy is something we haven't studied thoroughly."

"This experiment is also an exploration of the zombie virus, although it is very dangerous, but I hope our adventure is worth it."

Professor Marlock also restrained the excitement on his face, and assured Leon in a serious voice:

"Please rest assured, Your Excellency, although the exploration of the truth of the world is the ideal in the hearts of us researchers."

"But it is my responsibility to revive human civilization and rebuild our homeland."

"I will definitely be very careful with this experiment, and will not let any accidents occur in the experiment because of personal feelings."

Leon nodded, he believed in Professor Marlock's character, a loyal man who had been tested countless times.

"That's good, now most of the monsters in the world have entered their respective radiation zones."

"Although the wind and waves are calm on the surface, you and I both know that these monsters are just silently accumulating strength, like a time bomb, and we don't know when it will explode."

Speaking of this, Leon sighed and said:

"Unfortunately, the production of the stalemate has been limited, and those super mutants are either hard to find or difficult to deal with."

"In the face of those mutant monsters, ordinary soldiers are still too prone to casualties."

Professor Mallock nodded approvingly, as a researcher, he really loved and hated those terrifying super mutants, and almost devoted his life to the study of these magical creatures.

While the two were still chatting, there was a knock on the door from the entrance of the laboratory, and a beautiful female voice came from the speaker.

"Uncle Leon, Sister Avril, I have something to report to you, she said that the matter is more urgent, please contact her as soon as possible."

Leon nodded with the same expression, reached out and patted Professor Mallock on the shoulder, and said:

"I'll leave that to you, Professor."

"My request to you is still to be careful, failure is not terrible, safety first, your wisdom is the most precious treasure of our Human Federation."

Professor Marlock nodded, and watched as Leon opened the door to the lab and left with a beautiful girl.

I can still vaguely hear President Leon say in a gentle voice.

"Little Clay Manting, how was your training lately?"

"Are you doing well with Tom the Giant?"
