With the death of the mutant giant scorpion, the battle is over.

In the ruins of a building more than 300 meters away from the giant scorpion's corpse, Kevela put away his newly acquired high-energy laser gun, and was very satisfied with the power of this thing.

She picked up the communicator quite arrogantly, snorted, and said:

"Hmph, dear, this monster doesn't look very strong, the Apache helicopter you sent is a bit wasted."

Leon didn't care about his wife's ridicule, he smiled and explained:

"In this battle, thanks to the giant Tom who dragged down the mutant giant scorpion, otherwise you think about how many people we would have to sacrifice if we only relied on tanks and planes, as well as our soldiers, before we could kill this monster that could sneak into the sand and dust at will."

Kevira smiled, and as she walked out of her hiding place towards the location of the giant scorpion corpse, she said:

"That's something that you, the president, should think about, so I'm too lazy to worry about it."

………………

After the battle, it was soon time to harvest the spoils.

When Leon and Kevira arrived near the corpse of the mutant giant scorpion from the command center, Professor Marlock and his apprentice Reiner gathered around the corpse and went to work.

They were holding all kinds of utensils, cutting and injecting on corpses, with unknown fanaticism on their faces, collecting all kinds of samples, looking like idiots, a little oozing.

The old Professor Jacob was also quite interested in them, holding a notebook, recording and studying the body structure of the mutated giant scorpion, and made a slurping sound from time to time.

The two Leons did not bother them, but also focused their attention on the corpse.

The giant scorpion's body was huge, surpassing the mutated spiders and pink octopus monsters they had hunted before, and from its shattered carapace, a large number of white, delicate flesh like crab meat could be seen, filling the entire shell.

Just looking at it can speed up the secretion of saliva, creating a feeding instinct that wants to devour them.

As an invincible traverser, Leon has already eaten many ingredients that ordinary people can't use, but he rarely sees high-end ingredients like this that can make people hungry just by looking at them.

Noticing that the red-haired wife Kevela who was following him also swallowed his saliva quietly, Leon smiled secretly in his heart.

After becoming a family, his wife and children were inevitably influenced by him and became a foodie who likes delicious food.

He decided to go back and let Hathaway test whether the juice of the mutated giant scorpion was edible, and if so, then he would use his right to cut off a part of it to supply his own appetite.

Later, I will notify Ma Luo and the others, so that they can decompose the body of this giant scorpion as soon as possible, and ensure the freshness of these ingredients in the shortest possible time.

However, just as he was fantasizing about whether to steam or fry the fatty white meat, Professor Mallock and Professor Jacob walked over with excitement on their faces, talking and laughing.

The bald professor waved the black carapace in his hand, which should have been shattered by the Gatling cannon, at Leon, and said with some excitement:

"Your Excellency, our luck is good, this big guy is full of treasures."

"Look at this carapace fragment."

With a smile on his face, Professor Mallock handed the carapace fragment in his hand to Leon.

Reaching out and taking it, Leon's first impression was that it was very light, almost the same weight as plastic.

Thinking of the attack power of the mutant cancer, Leon pinched the carapace fragment with both hands, and used ninety percent of the strength of his body to move it in one direction, but it didn't move at all.

You must know that with his current physical fitness, even if he has ninety percent strength, he is twice as strong as those famous world weightlifting champions in his previous life.

Without further attempts to destroy the carapace fragment, he placed him in Professor Mallock's hands, then pulled out a pistol from his belt and fired several shots at the corpse of the mutant giant scorpion.

The small-caliber bullet used by the pistol hit the black carapace of the mutant giant scorpion, and it only scratched some sparks and a shallow white mark.

Leon frowned, turned to look at Professor Marlock and Professor Jacob, who also showed surprised expressions, and said:

"It's a good protective material, it's light in weight and has good defense, so it's perfect for making armor."

"Moreover, based on the size of this mutated giant scorpion, the number of carapaces we can get should be quite a lot."

Mallock nodded in agreement and said:

"That's what I thought, too, so I'm here to ask if I can send more researchers."

"The size of this mutant giant scorpion is too large, and if we want to dissect it without losing as much material as possible, we need some professional people to help us."

Of course, Leon had no problem with such a request, and he quickly conveyed the order, and it was estimated that it would not be long before a plane would arrive here with more researchers.

Professor Jacob, who was standing on the side, also smiled and said:

"Lyon, the situation on my side is also very good."

"It should be because of its long-term existence in the radiation zone, this mutant giant scorpion has a greater degree of mutation than the samples we have obtained before, and its body contains a large amount of Z element, which is about two to three times the size of the mutant octopus in terms of its size."

"That's enough for me to produce thirty miniature nuclear batteries of the same energy level as before."

Leon was also pleased to hear the news, but he reminded Professor Jacob:

"Professor, before we can get the information on the next supermutant, we must leave some of it behind to make a virus inhibitor."

"Moreover, the next time we make a miniature nuclear battery, we don't need to make it to this energy level, it's too wasteful, only a tenth, or even one hundredth."

Jacob smiled and nodded, he had only thought about his research task just now, and it was indeed not as thoughtful as Leon had thought through.

It was busy until the evening, and with the help of the giant Tom, the mutant giant scorpion's claw pincers, eight thin legs, and the remaining three tails were removed, leaving only the bare main torso.

Then, with the efforts of the residents of the temporary base, these parts were transported to the base in horse-drawn carts.

However, after dismembering the mutant giant scorpion in this way, Leon suddenly found that if it was transported separately, there was no need to send people to pull the researchers in the base over, which would not only consume time, but also make it easy for the dead mutant giant scorpion to rot, which was very resource-consuming.

So, that night, after removing many various accessories that had no practical effect, the Chinook transport plane directly transported the torso of the giant scorpion, which weighed more than ten tons, back from the air.

As for the other dismembered claw pliers, tail spikes, and other parts, a special convoy will come and deliver them in the next day or two.

However, for the ten Apache gunships he brought, Leon did not transfer all of them back to the base, but left behind six Apache helicopters, as well as the corresponding pilots and engineers.

He couldn't stay in this makeshift stronghold for too long, helping Jesus and the others in their quest to capture the zombies of wisdom.

However, it is possible to give some support where we can.

Early the next morning, Leon and the others came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry, and even Professor Marlock, who originally wanted to stay in the radiation area and observe the mutant monsters here, as well as the ecological environment, also left all his energy on studying the mutant giant scorpion, and chose to follow Leon and the others back to the main base.

Only the two members of the Stinger team, Jesus and Michonne, and some staff members arranged by Leon remained.

And after a few days of rest, the two captains will also take their team members to continue to carry out the tasks arranged by His Excellency the President.

………………

A few days later, the base of the People's Union, the laboratory of the Ministry of Scientific Research.

After several days of researching and making without sleep or food, Leon also saw the benefits of this operation.

"Your Excellency, these black carapaces are indeed very good materials."

The research director, Professor Toms, wore an armor made of special cloth and a black carapace, with a number of special materials added, on a simulated dummy.

Pushing a cart with different models of firearms in front of Lyon, he continued:

"In accordance with your request, our scientific research department has completed this set of light armor."

"You can give it a try, the defensive power of this set of light combat armor."

Seeing the confident smile on Professor Tom's face, Leon did not delay, directly picked up a pistol from the cart, and pulled the trigger on the suit of armor on the dummy.

Syllable! Syllable! Syllable!

A bullet from a magazine poured out, hitting the dummy fifty meters away, and with Leon's extraordinary eyesight, he could clearly see that all the pistol bullets had been bounced away, and there was not even a visible trace on the black carapace.

However, in the gap of the carapace that he deliberately targeted, although the expensive special fabrics were not directly penetrated, a very obvious depression could still be seen, presumably if this was worn by a real person, it should have suffered a lot of damage.

Then, Leon did not stop testing, but tested the effectiveness of various other firearms one after another.

Pistols, assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles.

The result is very good, in addition to the unsatisfactory defense of the special cloth connected by the armor, the protection level of this set of light armor is close to that of professional bulletproof steel plates, which is better than the defense of special spider silk.

However, it is still unable to defend against heavy firearms and bombs.

And because these carapaces are removed in one piece, they are polished and transformed according to the structure of the human body, and then sewn together with special fabrics.

As such, they are rather inflexible and malleable, and when worn on the body, they will also limit the wearer's movements to a certain extent, making them stiff and mechanical, and not suitable for dodging and other delicate movements.

But it's hard to have perfection in things in the world, it's a common thing.

Leon put down the gun in his hand and asked Professor Toms:

"There is no big problem with the defensive strength, but the overall structure needs to be further improved."

"But, Professor Toms, how much does this armor weigh? Pretty lightweight, right? ”

Tom nodded, and said with a hint of amazement on his face:

"Yes, Your Excellency, it's hard to imagine that a material with a defensive power comparable to steel should weigh only as much as plastic of the same volume."

"Because of the weight, we didn't add too much metal to strengthen the joints."

"Therefore, the total weight of this set of light armor is less than five kilograms, and even ordinary people can wear them without any obstacles, without worrying about physical strength."

Leon nodded with satisfaction, mediocre things are often not too good, there is not much practical value, it is better to be the ultimate in some aspects.

Just like now, although the defense of this set of equipment is not excellent, and it will even affect the flow of movement when wearing, but the light weight will make it a much lower threshold for use, even those who are not physically gifted are able to use them without obstacles, which is more suitable for popularization.

"So, how many pieces of this armor can we make from the carapace we peeled off from the mutant giant scorpion?"

Thomas seemed to have anticipated that Leon would ask this question, and he replied almost without thinking:

"If you count all the carapaces, according to the calculations of our scientific research department, we can probably make about fifty sets of this kind of light armor."

"However, if you allow us to replace the non-lethal protective positions with some other ballistic materials,"

"Although the weight will rise to eight kilograms, the amount of armor can be doubled."

Leon thought about it for more than ten seconds, then shook his head and said:

"No, since it can't be popularized on a large scale, there is no need to reduce its advantages to increase the number."

He has always followed the policy of elite soldiers, after all, the combat at the corps level is a minority after all, and often small battlefields are the mainstream of their battles.

"In that case, after perfecting the drawings, you should hurry up and produce this batch of light armor."

"Equip their troops, just call them the Demon Scorpion Corps."

Unfortunately, Professor Marlock, who is an honest man, did not appreciate Leon's humor, but went on to say:

"However, the two giant claw pincers, as well as the four dimensional words on the mutant Cancer's tail, have been left behind."

"The carapace in these parts is too thick, and we haven't found a suitable place to use them yet."

At the mention of the tail thorn, Leon suddenly thought of the venom in the tail thorn, and the others asked:

"By the way, Toms, is there anything special about this cancer's venom?"

Professor Thomas shook his head and said:

"I don't know about this, the venom in it didn't get to our lab."

"That guy from Marlock, I took it to study it myself early in the morning."
