Chapter 106 Z Element
After more than half a month of research by the old professor and Dr. Melfa, they extracted a special synthetic substance from the spider monster and named it element Z.
Although current biomedical knowledge and the equipment currently available at Fort Benning do not allow for more in-depth research on element z, Professor Jacob believes that based on the properties of element z, this synthetic substance can be used to create an inhibitor of the zombie virus.
It's not a therapeutic serum for the zombie virus, but an inhibitor.
This synthetic substance can form a special balance with the zombie virus in the same body, and consumes both to produce uncontrollable mutations in the host's body.
However, the rate of this mutation is quite slow, which is closely related to the dose of the compound and the radiation environment of the host.
Although there is a small chance of mutating into a monster when using this inhibitor, it is nothing compared to being infected with the zombie virus, which will definitely lead to death within a dozen hours.
However, so far, the reserves of element z are quite small, and there is no way to obtain it again. What Professor Jacob provided is just an idea that he and Professor Melfa discovered accidentally.
After thinking about it for a while, Leon considered that someone he cared about might be unfortunately infected with the zombie virus in the future, so he finally asked Professor Jacob to make some zombie virus inhibitors in case of unexpected situations.
Regarding this matter, from the perspective of researchers, Professor Jacob and his colleagues certainly agreed very much with Lyon's opinion. However, they also put forward a somewhat cruel request.
In addition to this, Umbrella Corporation will provide the Trojan Mutual Aid Association with some ammunition supplies every month in exchange for their long-term provision of agricultural products.
As long as the recruits climb onto the shooting platform, they can attack the zombies wandering the streets at will from a bird's-eye view without having to worry about their attacks.
These zombies are like living targets. Zombies at close range can be shot with pistols, zombies that are a little further away can be shot with rifles or automatic rifles. Even if they are four or five hundred meters away, sniper rifles with higher accuracy can be used for sniping.
With the assistance of the logistics department, they built ten twenty-meter-high mobile shooting platforms around the residential fence, surrounding the entire residential area.
However, because the Benningbao military base is full of weapons, ammunition, various tanks, artillery and high-tech weapons, Lyon also has a very happy worry.
Time flies and another week has passed.
After little Amy's detailed description, Leon finally understood the whole story.
When the Trojan Brotherhood is in danger, they can invite Lyon to send troops to assist them at a certain cost.
The fat man named Eugene was sent to the intensive care unit after being punched three times by Abraham in the evening. He not only suffered a mild concussion and extensive facial contusions, but also had half of his teeth knocked out.
After thinking about it, he said to Amy:
The weapons and ammunition filled the entire fifth underground floor of the base, with hundreds of millions of bullets. He even doubted whether the soldiers under his command could use them up before the expiration date of the ammunition reached.
Almost all the employees of the Security Department are civilians who were converted into soldiers. Apart from their courage to sacrifice their lives, they are quite lacking in military knowledge and have no idea how to use those powerful missiles, artillery, various aircraft and tanks.
Most of these livestock will be transported to the Oak Village breeding base for cultivation and reproduction, and the vegetables, fruits and melons exchanged will be sold as food to employees within the company to improve their meals.
Dr. Melfa, who never knew what it meant to show mercy to others, denounced Eugene in front of everyone as an ignorant liar, and asked him many professional questions about virology, leaving this fat man, who only had a little cleverness, speechless.
Leon was quite satisfied with the agreement. After the external affairs were dealt with, the work within the company was also getting on track rapidly. After more than ten days of training for the new recruits, Colonel William led the new recruits to start clearing the zombies in the residential area.
In the evening, they brought a large group of researchers to find the fat boy Eugene. Under the gaze of Abraham and Rosita, the two groups had a debate that was irrelevant.
That is to say, every time physical research is needed, a human life must be sacrificed to verify whether the inhibitor has achieved its effect.
He always felt that the fat boy Eugene deserved to be taught a lesson. Not only did he deceive those brave humans into wasting their efforts for him, he even caused many people to sacrifice their lives to protect him. Did he really think that all people were easy to bully?
Umbrella Corporation will exchange some pistols and a small number of rifles, about 200 pistols and 50 rifles, for Troy Mutual Aid Association's livestock and agricultural products, including a considerable number of dairy cows and sheep, pigs, chickens and ducks, as well as a large number of vegetables and fruits.
After the researchers in the base left disappointed, Abraham and Eugene had a fierce quarrel. In the end, the fat boy Eugene was hit three times by Abraham, a man as strong as a brown bear, and he went into shock and fainted.
Therefore, whenever the inhibitor needs to be physically studied, Leon must provide a sample that is infected with the zombie virus but has not yet transformed into a corpse, so that the doctor and others can conduct experiments.
Seeing Leon come in, the three girls were a little shy. Amy handed over a signed agreement and took the two girls back to her room to play.
But at this moment, Amy told Leon a special news.
A small half of the zombies in the residential area were killed by the new recruits and the logistics members who were practicing shooting. With this progress, he believed that in just one or two weeks, they would be able to recapture the entire residential area and provide a good living environment for the residents under his command who were temporarily living in the hospital, library and tents.
"Please invite Mr. Abraham and Ms. Rosita to have lunch with me sometime tomorrow."
After listening to little Amy's story, Leon was amused by the scene he imagined, and felt a little regretful that he did not see the scene with his own eyes.
Researching inhibitors is not an easy task; it requires constant trial and error and sacrifice.
As long as strict safety precautions are taken, these tens of thousands of zombies will be the best shooting practice targets.
After obtaining the weapons and ammunition from the Fort Benning military base, Umbrella Corporation no longer has to worry about ammunition and weapons.
The two best friends and the little beauty Beth were chatting and laughing while enjoying a big piece of delicious cream cake.
Lyon was troubled by this matter for a long time, and finally he could only place his hope on the unconscious Iron Wolf Frank and his professional soldiers.
It turned out that Dr. Melfa and Professor Jacob, two highly respected intellectuals, heard that a new fat man named Eugene who had a solution to the zombie virus had come to the camp, and they immediately became very curious.
However, for now, there is still no clue about the antidote for the super anesthetic, so this matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
Back in their office, Little Amy and Maggie had finished their discussion with the Troy Mutual Aid Association.
Leon has always been very tolerant towards people he likes. He sat back in his office chair and read the agreement.
The two camps will reach a friendly trade agreement and can exchange the materials needed by each other.
Lyon even encouraged the women and children in the logistics department to join the shooting training in their spare time without paying any fees.
Even Colonel William and the soldiers under him only knew how to use a small part of the weapons. When they were conducting special operations abroad, they had no use for these difficult-to-transport and uncommon equipment, so they had not conducted any research or study in this area.
This news made Leon slightly stunned. He had not yet taken the initiative to expose Eugene's scam, but he did not expect that the little fat man had already exposed himself.
"They are all warriors with ideals and abilities, and they should fight for real causes."
If Rosita hadn't dissuaded him at the scene, the little fat boy would most likely have been beaten to death by the furious Abraham.
Leon felt a psychological burden about this matter. He was not a saint and cherished every human life. Thinking of the many prisoners in the camp who deserved to die, he agreed without hesitation.
This was a rather simple yet vague cooperation agreement. Lyon obtained food and livestock, while the Trojan Mutual Aid Society obtained peace and protection. Both parties were happy and there would not be any major conflicts.
"I will have a good chat with them and hope to convince them to join our organization."
He thought about what had happened recently and said to Amy:
"Amy, now that we have reached an agreement with the Troy Mutual Aid Association, let your sister, Andrea, step up the recruitment efforts."
"We will try to recruit all the survivors in Troy County into our team."
