The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 163 Windfall
Being able to see Jesus in the radiation zone was something that was beyond Dwight's expectation.

At first, when he was sent by Negan to the Shanshan Peak Village to investigate, he thought that the Shanshan Mountain Village was his hope for revenge.

As a result, before there was a chance for revenge, the nuclear explosion war happened. For a time, the world collapsed, the world changed, and everything was different.

He and his wife Shirley suffered in the brutal and brutal Salvation Army for many years.

However, these things were forgotten by Dwight in the blink of an eye. Now, the most important thing in his mind is the life safety of his wife Shirley.

In this apocalyptic world, medicine has become more precious than food. Moreover, with Shirley's current situation, even if he finds a doctor, he is not sure whether those people can save his wife.

With the mood of treating a dead horse like a living horse, Dwight held his wife in his arms and said in a hoarse voice:

"Jesus, I'm here."

"We need doctors."

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

"Sorry, Dwight."

"Although we have doctors, they are not here. Our nearest stronghold is a hundred kilometers away from here."

"However, you can tell us how your wife was injured. Maybe we will have the medicine to treat her."

This is not a boast. As the most elite soldiers of the People's Federation, they are equipped with the highest technology of the People's Federation, and the medicines they carry are also the rarest and most expensive. They can treat ordinary injuries very well.

Dwight was originally very disappointed, but after hearing Jesus' words, he seemed to have grasped the last straw. Powerful strength burst out from his whole body. At his fastest speed, he picked up Shirley and staggered downstairs. , came to Jesus.

"Thank you, Mr. Jesus."

"Shirley, she was bitten by a mutated mosquito in the radiation zone. I'm not sure how to save her."

"She is unconscious now and has a high fever all over her body."

Looking at Dwight with an eager expression on his face, Jesus saw it. He squatted down next to Shirley, reached out and touched the woman's forehead. He found that her whole body was hot, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and her left arm was bitten by mosquitoes. On the wound, the fair skin turned black and red, and smelly pus oozed from the wound.

After thinking for a few seconds, he took out a green reagent with a needle from his pocket, inserted the needle near Shirley's wound, and said:

"This is a universal antidote developed by our scientific research department. It is quite effective and should be able to relieve the toxins in Ms. Shirley's body."

"Although there are no professional doctors in the team behind us a few kilometers away, there is a researcher who specializes in studying monsters in radiation zones."

"I'll ask Miss Gill to take you there with me to see if he can do anything."

After speaking, Jesus said to the other team members who had already dealt with Simon and others:
"Gill, Chris, you two take Mr. Dwight and these prisoners and go find Colonel Frank."

"Tell him what's going on here, and the others will continue to explore the road ahead with me."

After speaking, he pointed to the many horses tied in a corner and said:
"Just in time, Mr. Simon has sent us ten horses. You can ride seven more horses. These will be counted as the spoils of our mission."

………………

The journey to the radiation zone was far from peaceful. Along the way, not only the Stinger Team led by Jesus encountered all kinds of strange monsters, but also the large army of hundreds of soldiers led by Frank. If there are blind beasts, dare to provoke them.

Da da da!Da da da!Da da da!
A group of creatures with long fangs and pitted skin, and even covered with many pustules and sores. After seeing them, it was like orangutans saw bananas, bears saw honey, and wild dogs saw Oligo.

A total of more than a dozen four-legged beasts, large and small, dared to collide with Frank's troops foolishly.

Of course, Colonel Iron Wolf would not get used to them. He immediately ordered the soldiers to fight. In an instant, hundreds of submachine guns were fired at them.

But obviously, these silly monsters also have their own capital to run rampant in the radiation zone. Rifle bullets hit their scaly bodies. Although they were beaten to a bloody pulp, it still did not affect their charging speed.

Only bullets that actually hit their heads can cause fatal damage to these monsters.

Although Frank was unhappy with the appearance of these monsters, Reiner, the researcher who was following their team, was very excited.

Before these monsters were completely dead, Professor Malok's apprentice, a muscular researcher who had also developed a body full of muscle, ran up with a pile of equipment on his shoulders and a face full of excitement.

He quickly took out a sharp dagger from his pocket and started tinkering with this disgusting-looking monster like a butcher.

While cutting, he was still mumbling:
"Hey, although the skin on the body is covered with rotten flesh, the proportion of meat inside the body is very high."

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

"Wow, this seems to be all protein!"

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

After tinkering for more than ten minutes and successfully dismembering a monster, he turned to Colonel Frank with a smile and said:

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

"Judging from their appearance, they should have changed from dolphin-like creatures such as wild boars."

"Maybe it has the value of breeding."

Frank nodded expressionlessly. Although he was a little impatient, collecting samples from the radiation zone 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, mutant zombies, mutant mosquitoes, mutant wild dogs, etc.

Fortunately, although these creatures have undergone mutations, they are only physical changes. They have become rough-skinned and thick-skinned, making them more difficult to deal with.

But after all, they are still carbon-based creatures, and they can be destroyed with guns and bullets.

After returning to the team, Dwight, who was following the carriage, immediately came forward, followed Researcher Reiner, and asked:

"Mr. Rainer, Shirley's fever has gone down now, but she is still unconscious. If she is left in a coma for a few days, will there be any sequelae?"

Reiner's face still showed the excitement of discovering new species. He glanced at Dwight and said bluntly:
"It will definitely have an impact. Those toxins stay in her body, how can it not have any impact."

"However, I don't have any tools at hand now, and there is no doctor to cooperate with us in the operation. Even if I want to treat her, there is no way."

Dwight became anxious when he heard this. In his heart, Shirley's safety was more important than anything else. He immediately said:
"Where is the doctor, I'll go find him now."

Reiner looked at Dwight as if he were 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 should help you with treatment?"

"If it weren't for the sake of Captain Jesus, do you think we would waste so much medicine on outsiders like you?"

"The current value of these drugs alone requires the contribution of a hard worker for a month."

Although Reiner's words were unpleasant, they also left Dwight speechless. Indeed, in today's apocalyptic world, any resource is extremely precious, but human life is not worth mentioning.

And as he saw, the strength of this Human League organization was not something that an ordinary person like him could threaten.

But if he had to watch his wife get hurt, it would be even more uncomfortable than killing him.Thinking of this, Dwight asked with some difficulty:

"Mr. Reiner, is there no way you can help my wife?"

The survivors had seen too much life and death and were already numb. Facing Dwight's question, Reiner nonchalantly compiled his research report and said:
“What we at People’s Federation have always been about is equal exchange and fair transactions.”

"If you can bring huge benefits to our People's Federation, I think even Colonel Frank will not mind sending someone to escort you to our base for treatment."

Hearing this, Dwight quickly asked:
"Mr. Rainer, can you tell me what kind of things are a huge gain for the People's Federation?"

Seeing that the man next to him still refused to give up, Reiner looked at him with some pity and said:
"To be honest, Mr. Dwight, our AFC's resources are quite abundant. Food, medicine, guns, and gunpowder are all sparse and common things to us."

"I don't think you ordinary survivors can have anything that is of great value to us."

"However, if you find any military bases, biological research institutes, or similar weird places, it might interest our people."

Originally, Dwight was a little desperate after hearing Reiner's words, but the institute he mentioned last made Dwight think of something, and he immediately said to Reiner excitedly:
"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 find the research institute."

"I remember they said that place seemed to be a secret institute for an organization called the Freemasons."

"I know the location. I don't know if this information can be obtained. You are treating my wife."

Originally, Reiner didn't care much about Dwight's words. After all, they were just an ordinary runaway couple, not even talented.

However, when he heard the name Freemasonry, he was suddenly surprised.

You know, the name of Freemasonry is generally only circulated among the top management of the People's Federation, and even many middle-level managers don't know about this organization.

Even he had heard about this organization because he was Professor Malok's apprentice, but now he heard it from an outsider, and it obviously didn't sound like nonsense.

So, Reiner calmed down his expression and said to Dwight in a serious tone:
"Mr. Dwight, are you sure you mean the Freemasons?"

"This matter is of great importance. If you lie to us, you won't be fine just by apologizing."

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

"It's absolutely true, Mr. Reiner. We caught an old man from the radiation zone who claimed to be a research biologist. After giving him a severe lesson, he revealed the location of the research institute to us."

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

"He told us that there are a lot of good things in the institute, and then he organized more than 200 people and set off three days ago."

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

After Reiner listened carefully, he nodded, and then said to Dwight:
"Let's go, let's report this matter to Colonel Frank first, and then report this matter to His Excellency the President."

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

………………

Inside the People's Federation headquarters.

Leon happened to be in Professor Malok's research center.

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

From the woman's sharp claws and dark eyes, it can be determined that she is a special mutant zombie, a type of zombie lord named by the People's Federation.

This is a mutant 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 as high as a pregnant woman, and as time goes by, it rises and falls like a heartbeat.

Standing next to Leon, Professor Mallock, who looked like a bodybuilder, pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose, stared at the female zombie in the petri dish, and said in an exclamation tone:

"This is really amazing, Your Excellency, a corpse has given birth to a new life."

"It simply goes against the laws of nature. If someone had told me this ten years ago, I would have slapped him in the mouth and scolded him as a lunatic."

Leon's eyes also shone with surprise. This was originally just a whim of his. In the TV series about "Zombie Nation" that he watched in the past, the protagonist Murphy got a zombie pregnant. He didn't expect that in this world , his sperm can still do such a thing, it is simply not scientific at all.

After being slightly surprised for a moment, he immediately calmed down and warned himself in his heart not to make regrettable mistakes out of greed.

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

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

"It's a disaster caused by special life forms from outer space."

"As for what happened to Murphy, we haven't studied it thoroughly yet."

"This experiment is also an exploration of zombie viruses. Although it is very dangerous, I hope our risk is worth it."

Professor Mallock also suppressed the excitement on his face and assured Lyon in a serious voice:
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty the President, although exploring the truth in 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 treat the test subjects this time very carefully, and I will not let any accidents occur in the experiment because of personal feelings."

Leon nodded. He believed in Professor Malok's character. He was also a loyal person 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 situation is calm on the surface, you and I both know that these monsters are just silently accumulating strength, like a time bomb that will explode at any time."

Speaking of this, Leon sighed and said:
"Unfortunately, the production of Zhengli Stop has always been limited. Those super mutants are either hard to find or difficult to deal with."

"Faced with those mutated monsters, ordinary soldiers are still too prone to casualties."

Professor Mallock nodded with deep understanding. As a researcher, he really loved and hated those terrifying super mutants. He devoted almost all his life to the study of these magical creatures.

While the two were still chatting, there was suddenly 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 the matter is urgent and asked you to contact her as soon as possible."

Leon nodded without changing his expression, reached out and patted Professor Malok on the shoulder, and said:
"I'll leave this to you, Professor."

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

Professor Mallock nodded and watched as Leon opened the door to the laboratory and left with a beautiful girl.

You can still vaguely hear President Leon saying in a gentle voice.

"Little Clementine, how's your recent training going?"

"How are you doing with Giant Tom?"
