Chapter 78 Debate
Standing around him were many elite soldiers carefully selected from the security department, including Daryl, Moore, Glenn, Colonel William and other team captains.
In addition, senior professors and doctors affiliated with the Umbrella Corporation were also standing around him and having heated discussions.
Everyone wore a set of radiation protection suits and carried a brand new Geiger radiation counter, carefully preventing any possible risk of radiation damage.
After their careful investigation and testing, they found that the radiation here is indeed much higher than that outside. If there is no protective clothing, short-term exposure may not cause much harm to the human body. However, long-term exposure here will cause a lot of invisible damage to the human body, and even cause uncontrollable mutations.
Paige, wearing a protective suit and holding a laptop in her hand, walked quickly to Leon and said:
"Leon, the 7th robot dog was also destroyed by the monster inside."
"This is the last video we had of them before they were destroyed."
"Should we continue to send more mechanical dogs in?"
Leon looked a little solemn and did not answer. He took the laptop from Peggy and looked at the battle video again.
Although he had watched it several times, the mutant monster that appeared in the video still frightened him.
Even a powerful human like Leon doesn't dare to say that he can definitely defeat those mutated zombies. It is conceivable that if he sends soldiers from the security department into the underground facility to fight them, there will definitely be huge casualties.
The second type of mutant zombie is as thin as a monkey, agile, able to run and even jump, and has sharp claws. Leon calls it a hunter-type zombie.
Most of the armed mechanical dogs were destroyed by these mutated zombies. Once they found their target, they would accelerate and charge like a bull in estrus and then crash into the target. The destructive force generated was even enough to twist and deform the armed mechanical dogs, making them lose the ability to move.
On the other hand, the discussion among the doctors and professors also ended temporarily. No one could convince anyone else, so they could only turn their attention to the real decision-maker of Umbrella Corporation, Leon.
To everyone's surprise, there were many more powerful mutant zombies in the underground facilities of the nuclear power plant.
When he thought that those loyal soldiers who trusted him might lose their lives, he unconsciously felt a sense of resistance in his heart.
"Although I don't know why these zombies have mutated so much in such a short period of time, it is definitely a technology that is difficult to master with our current talent pool and technical equipment."
However, these special mutated zombies are the same as the ordinary mutated zombies outside. Once they lose track of the enemy, they will not run out of the underground facilities of the nuclear power plant to continue searching.
They would not even be affected by the loud noise outside the underground facility. Even though such a large-scale battle took place near the nuclear power plant not long ago, not a single special mutated zombie ran out of the underground.
Dr. Melfa was always so direct and straightforward. Her eyes showed a strong desire to explore. She held Leon's hand and said:
"Leon, we need samples of those special mutant zombies. It would be best if we can get living samples."
At present, just from those captured before the armed mechanical dog was destroyed, there are as many as three types of special mutant zombies.
"If we can understand the principles behind this, perhaps we can defeat the zombie virus and even allow humans to evolve to a higher level."
This type of zombie is powerful and good at sneak attacks, but their claws and teeth do not have much effect on the steel-structured armed robot dogs. In the process of attacking the armed robot dogs, several of them were even killed by their short-barreled shotguns.
Moreover, their number was not large, and they were under the detection of the armed mechanical dogs controlled by Peggy.
The third type of mutant zombies is one with a swollen belly as if they were pregnant. Leon calls them Corruptors.
However, Leon knew that if the survivors encountered this kind of mutated zombies, it would be like a wild boar encountering a poisonous snake. Although they could use guns to defeat them, they would also be easily hurt by the claws of this mutated zombie and thus be infected by the virus and turned into a new zombie.
Even so, seeing the combat effectiveness of those special mutant zombies, fighting them is an extremely dangerous thing.
This bile is so powerful that it can even corrode the steel shell of an armed mechanical dog within minutes, damaging the circuits and devices inside. So far, two armed mechanical dogs have been destroyed by these corrosive agents.
Once this zombie sees the enemy, it will spray a stream of bile with corrosive power towards the enemy, covering the enemy's body, with a range of up to 20 to 30 meters.
Those special mutated zombies tend to only stay in places with very high radiation concentrations, so almost all of them stay in the central area of the underground facility, which is the area around the reactor.
The first type of mutant zombie has a tall and burly body, with deformed and abnormally strong muscles all over the body, abnormally hard bones, and great strength. It likes to use its strong body to rush around, and is called a tank-type zombie by Leon.
Professor Jacob, who was standing aside, disagreed with Melfa's opinion.
"There is no doubt that they were all human beings in their previous lives, but the fact that they were able to mutate to this extent in less than a year simply breaks the basic logic of biological mutation and evolution."
This kind, brave and knowledgeable old professor said to Leon with a serious expression:
"Leon, nuclear radiation is a very dangerous type of radiation. Not only will it destroy the stable structure of genes in living organisms, it can also easily cause irreversible mutations in the genes of living organisms. This is not a stable and reliable way of evolution."
Most of the space in the underground facilities of the entire nuclear power plant was empty, and even the bodies of those who had worked there could not be found.
Their number is not large. According to Peggy's investigation and speculation, the total number of special mutated zombies around the reactor should not exceed one hundred. Only occasionally a few special mutated zombies will leave that area and wander around other places.
"Rather than letting our precious warriors risk their lives to obtain these inestimable and unknown things, we should use our strength in places that can better help mankind prosper again."
Jacob said to Leon earnestly:
"Leon, we all trust you, and those loyal warriors have entrusted their lives in your hands."
"But as a leader, you must carefully consider what is worth doing and what is not worth doing, and cherish these brave and noble lives."
