The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 185 Primary Combat Chip
After the battle, everyone was very tired. Although the body was not seriously injured, both mental and physical strength were extremely lacking.

Just when Jesus was about to give an order to let everyone take a rest and relieve fatigue, the combat engineer who had been monitoring the situation outside suddenly said:
"Captain Jesus, Captain Michonne, I think I saw mutant zombies running out of another teaching building. There are probably more than three hundred in number, and they are moving in another direction away from our current location."

The two captains were horrified, and then immediately realized that they could control the zombies not to go towards the place where the sound of fighting was coming, but to control the zombies to escape from here. Could it be that there were intelligent zombies in that teaching building?
Michonne punched the ground with her katana, breathing heavily while asking:
"Did you see any targets that looked special or were very conspicuous?"

The combat engineer, of course, knew that what she was asking was whether there was any intelligent zombie inside. However, the reconnaissance drone was 300 meters away from them, and with the power of the camera, it was impossible to see the specific appearance.

He shook his head and said:
"Sorry, Captain Michonne, it's too far away for me to tell."

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, but no matter what, they finally found the suspected target, and of course they couldn't let them run away in vain.

Jesus immediately said to the combat engineer:

"Continue to monitor them, but be careful not to let the drones get too close. There should be Corruptors inside them."

After saying that, Jesus and Michonne both wanted to move their bodies and lead the troops to chase the mutant zombies.

However, before they could struggle to move, the exhaustion and weakness in their bodies made them feel dizzy and almost fainted.

The battle just now was too forced. Everyone was fully focused and tried their best to fight with high intensity for nearly half an hour.

In addition, everyone was wearing metal armor weighing more than ten or twenty kilograms, and their physical strength was severely exhausted. It was really difficult to continue the pursuit mission.

Others also tried, but the situation was not much better than the two of Jesus. Besides, even if there were a few fighters with good physical strength who could go after them, but if the number was too small, facing hundreds of powerful mutated zombies, even if they chased them Going up there is just a matter of death.

Michonne punched the ground with some frustration. It has been more than half a month since he performed this mission. It was not easy to encounter the mission target for the second time, but he could only watch them escape. Not willing to give in anymore.

But at this time, Clementine, who was standing in the back row, suddenly said:

"Captain Jesus, Captain Michonne, let me follow you. I will take Tom with me."

"He still has plenty of physical strength and strong fighting ability. He should be able to complete the tracking task."

However, after hearing that it was Clementine who requested the task, Michonne subconsciously rejected this decision.

Although executing the mission is more important, she still knows very well what is more important than Clementine's safety.

"No, Miss Clementine, your safety is more important than the goal of this mission."

"It's not that I don't believe in your ability. However, Your Excellency the President once explained that your safety must be the first priority."

Clementine was a little disappointed. She was not the kind of girl who was proud of being favored. She did not regard Leon's good intentions as a bad thing, nor did she hate the actions of her elders. She just wanted to make more contributions to everyone deep down. That’s all.

Unlike Michonne's sensibility, Jesus thought about it for more than ten seconds and suddenly said:

"I agree with you to carry out this mission, Miss Clementine."

"But you don't go alone, you have to take Captain Michonne and our combat engineers with you."

"The armored giant's load-bearing capacity is very good. There shouldn't be any problems with the three of you."

"The control distance of the reconnaissance drone is about ten kilometers. You don't need to get close to the group of escaping mutant zombies. You only need to keep up with them from a distance."

"As long as you leave a mark on the road, we will catch up with you immediately after taking some rest."

Michonne looked back at Jesus with some annoyance, but after the two looked at each other for a few seconds, she also recognized the feasibility of this plan and turned to Clementine and nodded.

"Miss Clementine, if that's the case, then we can give it a try, but you must carry out the task according to my orders."

"We don't need to fight head-on, we just need to make sure not to lose them."

………………

On the People's League side, an interesting experiment is underway.

Perhaps it was Old Man Mason who was eager to achieve great results, or perhaps Professor Amlin’s skills were too superb. In less than half a month, they restored the experimental combat chip that Dr. Mason had mentioned, and invited Leon to visit them. results.

In another laboratory of the scientific research department, Lyon, Professor Amlin, and Dr. Mason stood outside a laboratory blocked by tempered glass, quietly watching the scene in the laboratory.

In the laboratory, two camps were confronting each other. On one side were several mad hounds, a group of mutated blood-sucking worms, and a dozen plague crows.

Opposite them was a group of more than thirty mutant mole rats.

The two camps confronted each other, a group of mutated mole rats scurrying up and down, huddled together, looking at the opposite monster in fear, while the other side of the biochemical weapon seemed to be like a log, completely unresponsive to the outside world, just standing there blankly. position.

If this were normal, in a normal environment, when these mutated monsters faced these lively mutated moles, wouldn't they rush forward with drooling eyes and devour their flesh and blood?

However, these mutant monsters locked in the laboratory are different from other mutant monsters. Different types of combat chips are implanted in their bodies, which limit the information transmission in their poor brains through technological means and block the brain. desire to attack.

Even if they are killed before being given an order, they will not react in any way.

"Your Excellency, Professor Amlin is really outstanding. The experimental combat chip we originally designed has become more stable and easier to operate after his transformation."

Mason held a remote control with more than a dozen buttons on it, handed it to Leon and said:
"Our original operating system was quite complicated and had to be used with a computer. However, the control system designed by Professor Amlin is quite convenient and is more convenient to use in combat."

Leon reached out and took the remote control. It has a mixed structure of metal and plastic. Each button is marked with simple words, attack, retreat, stop, etc. It looks like an operation panel used when playing games, which is relatively good. easy to understand.

Professor Amlin, standing next to him, showed a humble smile and said to Lyon:

"Dr. Mason is too complimentary, Your Excellency the President."

"Thanks to the chip design drawings he provided and the basis of their previous research, we were able to reproduce it in such a short period of time."

"As for the improvements he mentioned, I actually just streamlined some functions on the combat chip. Those functions are more suitable for designers, not operators. If the operating system is too complex, it will affect the use of the operators."

Leon nodded understandingly. Professor Amlin had always been a very pragmatic scholar. He knew exactly what kind of equipment the People's Federation needed.

In the following time, he also learned how to use this controller under the guidance of two scholars.

Controlling the three biochemical weapons in the laboratory, he killed the mutant mole on the opposite side. Facing these killing machines, the poor combat effectiveness of the mutant acceptance was just a decoration.Then they also demonstrated many different functions such as self-destruction, fighting each other, and dormant states. The experiment was not completed until all the biochemical weapons in the laboratory were destroyed.

How should I put it, a little disappointed.

The biochemical weapon is exactly what its name describes. It is just a weapon. Under the control of this combat chip, these mutated monsters have no ability to think at all, do not know how to adapt to changes, do not know how to disguise, and cannot perform more than three tasks at the same time. The above instructions.

You can only choose which enemy to attack, stop attacking, retreat and other very mechanical commands just like you control a character in the game.

Just like a knife or a hammer, it can only perform tasks on the frontal battlefield.

Although he knew it would be difficult, Leon still told Professor Amlin and Dr. Mason his thoughts.

"Professor, I hope you can continue to engage in research in this area. The number of biological weapons stored in the institute is huge and it is a powerful army."

"Every improvement in the combat chip is a qualitative leap in their combat effectiveness."

"Moreover, this hand-controlled operating system is still too troublesome. I hope you will transform it into voice control. This version of the chip is tentatively designated as a primary combat chip, and the functions can be reduced."

"I hope that the primary combat chip can turn these biochemical weapons into weapons similar to knives or firearms."

"There is no need for complicated functions, you just need to point where to hit."

Faced with the president's proposal, the two scholars had no objections and said they would conduct more in-depth research in this area in the future.

Then Leon asked about the combat armor of these biochemical weapons, and whether the Licker and Tyrant biochemical weapons could be equipped with primary combat chips.

Dr. Mason replied respectfully:

"Your Majesty the President, of the three biochemical weapons you see, the Furious Hound, the Mutated Vampires, and the Plague Crows, only the Furious Hound can be equipped with combat armor. The other two are too small in size and have insufficient load-bearing capacity. They all use huge weapons. Use their numbers and strong fecundity as weapons to deal with the enemy."

"As long as the food supply and environment meet the requirements, the number of blood-sucking worms can double every week. The number of plague crows will be slightly slower, and can double in about a month."

"The combat armor of the Furious Hounds is quite simple. It is just a modified metal plate armor. Enhancing the defense of their head, chest and limbs can increase their survivability in battle several times."

Leon thought for a moment and found that it was indeed more realistic, so he nodded and continued to listen to Mason's story.

"As for the two biochemical weapons, Tyrant and Licker, after discussing with Professor Amlin, we both felt that they are not suitable for such a simple combat chip, which will seriously limit their combat capabilities."

"So we did not put their two types of experimental subjects into today's experiment."

Leon nodded understandingly. After all, Dr. Mason joined the People's Federation less than a month ago, and he is in a stage of eagerness to show his value. It is already quite good to be able to produce some results, and he should not be too forceful.

He thought for more than ten seconds and then said to the two scholars:
"That's it for the time being. You have done a good job. I will allocate more research resources to you."

"However, gentlemen, you are not young anymore. Pay attention to rest and take good care of your health. Only in this way can you make more contributions to the People's Federation."

He looked at Dr. Mason and said:

"Dr. Mason, I have another immature suggestion."

Old man Mason didn't dare to ask for help. He immediately nodded and bowed and said:

"Please tell me, Your Majesty the President, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

Professor Amlin looked at the old man Mason nodding and bowing in amusement. He knew Leon's temper very well. Leon would always treat a capable person like Mason very kindly, and there was no need to deliberately please him.

Faced with the old man's funny appearance, Leon also found it interesting, but he did not directly dissuade Mason. After getting along for a long time, the old man would naturally understand his character. If he said too much now, it might have the opposite effect. Effect.

He casually took out two cigars, handed them to the two scholars, lit one for himself, and said:
"Actually, it's nothing. Based on the battle videos of our People's Alliance soldiers in the Mason Research Institute, I just feel that the attack power of the Crazy Hound is too weak."

"When you design combat armor for them, you might as well install some powerful bombs inside the armor."

"In this way, even if the claws and teeth of the crazy hound cannot cause effective damage to the enemy, we can still achieve the purpose of destroying the enemy by detonating explosives."

Mason's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he felt that what Leon said made sense. He had indeed been too superstitious about the strength of mutant monsters in the past.

Especially when he was in the Mason Research Institute, when he saw his hard-earned masterpiece being pressed to the ground and crushed by the armored soldiers of the People's League, and beaten without the ability to fight back, he even once doubted that his research Does it have any meaning in existence?

Now that I heard President Leon's proposal, my mind was suddenly opened. Yes, if the monster's attack power is not enough, you can use foreign objects to increase their destructive power.

Just like a mad hound, this biochemical weapon has very high agility and speed. It can quickly approach the enemy and avoid many attacks. If it is used with high-explosive bombs, it can easily kill those difficult enemies.

Old man Mason laughed, with the wrinkles on his face laughing, and he said respectfully to Leon:

"Your proposal is great, Your Majesty the President."

"We researchers have stayed in the laboratory for too long, and our thinking is too rigid. Only smart people like you can think so clearly."

“It just takes a little bit of mind-expanding to solve a problem we’ve been thinking about for a long time.”

In front of his subordinates, Leon did not pretend to be humble. He chatted with the two scholars for a while encouragingly, drew a few big cakes, commended one, and then turned and left.

In the past month, whether due to luck or coincidence, all kinds of good news have been concentrated during this period.

Not only did they discover Mason and his biological and chemical weapons research institute, and obtain a large number of war weapons, but they also reached a large number of trade regulations with the Federation to help them eliminate pirates, taking the relationship between the two parties a step further.

They have also obtained new super mutants and miniature nuclear batteries, and now even the combat chips that control biological and chemical weapons have made progress.

It can be said to be a series of surprises. If things continue to go smoothly in the future, it won't be long before he can command the biochemical army and leave the territory of Georgia again to expand his territory.

It is a pity that the population of the people's federation is still too small. Even though it has a vast land, it has no ability to manage them.

Humanity has been kicked off the top of the food chain. In the world today, the number of monsters is still thousands of times greater than that of humans.

To revive human civilization, there is a long way to go!
