Chapter 111 Pregnancy and the First Nuclear Explosion
Leon brought his two sisters, Amy and Peggy, to the hospital to visit Daryl, the two hundred brothers Maul and other soldiers who were injured and unconscious in the battle with the spider monster.
After more than two months of intensive research and the sacrifice of more than a dozen stubborn captives, Dr. Melfa and his team finally developed an antidote serum to break the spider monster's super anesthetic a week ago.
This is a serum that is harmful to the human body. It will forcibly disrupt the body's metabolism and the secretion of various hormones in the body in a short period of time, forcibly breaking humans out of a state of suspended animation. The efficacy is significant and the effect is extremely fast.
Its sequelae is that the patient will be unable to control the functions of his or her body for a short period of time, resulting in various minor discomforts such as crooked mouth and eyes, uncontrollable saliva, snot and tears, incontinence, itching, numbness and pain all over the body. Depending on the patient's physical fitness and genetic advantages and disadvantages, it may take five or six days or as short as two or three days to fully recover.
The unbearable effect of the drug also resulted in a very poor environment in the hospital and a serious shortage of medical staff.
Fortunately, most of these patients have relatives and family members. With their selfless help, the more than 200 elite soldiers of Daryl's and Moore's teams were able to get through that embarrassing week in a decent manner.
As this group of elite soldiers who had been bedridden for nearly three months recovered their health, the entire Umbrella Corporation was filled with joy.
Good things come in pairs. Not long ago, Colonel William and the corps of recruits he led did not disappoint Lyon's expectations.
Lyon sat at the main seat at the conference table, looking at the various senior researchers, military commanders, officials from the logistics department and the political affairs department, as well as the captains of various teams below, and asked:
"Professor Jacob, can you confirm which nuclear power plant or nuclear bomb was triggered?"
Leon was also very grateful for Dr. Melfa's trust. It was because of the noble character of this top researcher that Umbrella Corporation obtained the first safe and practical shelter, which led to the subsequent rapid development of the organization.
As Professor Jacob explained, Peggy operated the display screen, and a brand new high-end projector projected a clear map of America onto a white wall in the conference room.
The most important thing is that Lyon referred to the methods used by large organizations in the past to handle affairs, recruited some elites from all walks of life as exclusive consultants, and organized a think tank similar to a staff team to provide him with advice.
However, compared with its original scale in Atlanta, the number of employees in the logistics department has now exceeded 1,200, and the size of the entire Umbrella Corporation is close to the population of a small town in peacetime.
All the large-scale zombie hordes in the entire urban area of Columbus have been cleared out. Now, in the empty urban area, the only zombies left are those that are barely lingering in various buildings, or are trapped in some corners and unable to move. They have not been cleared out.
In the far distance as far as he could see, the dark clouds in the sky seemed to be defeated by some impact, revealing a blue sky. Then, a small mushroom cloud gradually rose on the horizon, and an invisible wave spread in the sky.
Hearing this good news, Old Moore laughed a few times, put his hand on Leon's shoulder, and said with a little emotion:
Dr. Melfa looked at Leon with a serious expression, and then glanced at the dozen or so senior managers of the company around the round table. He seemed to be hesitating whether he should tell these people about the matter. Finally, after thinking for more than ten seconds, he exhaled and said:
"Leon, do you still remember those mutant zombies, special zombies, and the last super zombies in the Senas Nuclear Power Plant?"
Dr. Melfa also nodded to Leon and continued:
"And the zombies that gather there will quickly absorb the nuclear radiation in the air, just like the zombies in the nuclear power plant, and undergo significant mutation and evolution."
The two sturdy men who were playing cards with Daryl's brother also congratulated him. They were all small leaders promoted by Leon, so naturally they hoped that their boss would get better and better, and then they could also live a good life.
The old professor pushed his glasses up again.
"After a year without regular maintenance, it finally broke out three days ago."
No one knew what to say next. Leon thought about it and finally brought up his topic.
After listening to Professor Jacob's long speech, everyone present seemed to be silent. Most of them were ordinary people who knew nothing about nuclear energy. They had only seen the harm of nuclear bombs to humans in TV dramas and various comic movies. They were instinctively afraid of the unknown and actually did not have much idea of the real impact of this matter.
"Once all the radiation there is absorbed by these zombies, when those zombies lose the radiation energy they can absorb, they will begin to spread rapidly throughout the American region."
"You are all my right-hand men and my true friends. Without your help, I find myself unable to do anything."
No matter what happens in the future, he no longer needs to handle every detail by himself. Instead, he will be the final decision maker to direct and handle various affairs.
Four circles of light of different colors spread out from the St. Lucie Nuclear Power Plant.
"It was a water-cooled nuclear power plant that used seawater for cooling. It was an old-style nuclear power plant built thirty years ago. Perhaps it lost its maintenance staff, or perhaps there were no special mutated super zombies to absorb the reactor's energy."
Leon nodded solemnly. It was because of the pink tentacle monster in the Senas Nuclear Power Plant that he experienced for the first time what it meant to be on the line between life and death. This made him change his attitude towards life in the apocalypse. How could he forget this?
"And unlike the Senas Nuclear Power Plant, which had been in a stable reaction, this nuclear explosion directly released all the radiation from the reactor at once."
Most modern people know very well what this small mushroom cloud represents. Fortunately, the nuclear explosion occurred very far away from Georgia. The survivors living there could not even feel the tremors on the ground, and did not suffer any real losses.
After a day or two of minor chaos, things gradually calmed down, but the fear about something was still deeply suppressed in the deepest part of their hearts.
Leon observed the expressions of the silent crowd, and finally fixed his eyes on Dr. Melfa, who seemed to want to say something, and asked:
"Do you have anything to say, Dr. Melfa?"
"The whole world will become a lot stranger and more dangerous by then."
In the circular conference hall at Fort Benning.
He nodded to Professor Melfa and said sincerely:
After the two senior intellectuals finished their lengthy speeches, the conference room fell into a brief silence.
"The final area will be a radiation layer covering an area of more than 100 kilometers. Although the life within this range will not suffer direct physical damage, if they are exposed to this radiation environment for a long time, they will basically die from sudden diseases caused by various genetic mutations in a short period of time in the future."
"Bless me, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
They saw the big boss Leon coming to visit them with his two concubines.
"According to my guess, a nuclear explosion at this old underwater nuclear power plant would generate such high temperatures that it would directly destroy all life forms and almost all buildings within 5 kilometers of the nuclear power plant."
"According to Professor Jacob and I's speculation, perhaps in the near future, within two to three years, a large number of mutant zombies or special zombies will appear in Florida."
Even Daryl, the crossbow brother, showed a rare shy smile, and said to Leon in a sincere tone:
"Congratulations, boss, you deserve this reward."
"Fortunately, God bless you all, now you are awake, and you can finally share the pressure on my shoulders again."
The four strong men came up to greet them with smiles on their faces and treated them politely. Being able to be close to and valued by the boss is the ideal of all workers.
Leon reached out and held Amy and Peggy's hands, and with the two girls looking a little shy, he said to the other four people:
Professor Jacob cleared his throat and looked around. Seeing that everyone had a heavy face and worried eyes, he took a sip of hot coffee and continued:
"However, these problems will not bother us for the time being."
Just as he was busy winning over the affections of his soldiers, a blinding light suddenly flashed from outside the ward window.
"Congratulations, Boss. My goodness, someone as powerful as you will surely have a lot of outstanding children."
Leon patted the four people on the shoulders affectionately, took out a high-end cigar, and personally lit one for each of them, then said with emotion:
"Maybe, Old Moore should find a woman, and I will have a child of my own."
"Don't worry, I'll keep that in mind, Doctor."
"According to my and Professor Jacob's speculation, this nuclear explosion is also likely to cause large-scale mutations like the last time."
"They will all grow into talented people."
"The second is a powerful shock wave that affects an area of more than ten kilometers. This shock wave is much stronger than a so-called Category 12 typhoon and will destroy most trees, land, and ordinary buildings. Only life within special areas can survive."
"Its radiation zone will definitely cause serious radiation pollution to coastal areas, causing the death of a large number of marine life, polluting and evaporating the seawater, and even forming a large area of radioactive clouds and rain."
"The only thing we need to worry about is that the St. Lucie underwater nuclear power plant is located in the coastal area, and a small part of its radiation range is exposed to the Atlantic Ocean."
"We humans have never really faced such large-scale pollution. In this world where zombie viruses are rampant, I can't guess what kind of changes will happen there."
Professor Melfa sighed and said in a somewhat frustrated tone:
"Due to the variability of the zombie virus and its particularity in absorbing radiation, our past research conclusions on it have been almost completely overturned. Although there have been some progress in other areas, it will take a very long time to develop a virus serum that is completely immune to the zombie virus."
Several large warehouses had to be rebuilt at Fort Benning military base to store so many supplies.
Looking at the small mushroom cloud in the distance, Leon felt his heart skip a beat. Looking back at the shocked and horrified eyes of his concubine and subordinates, he squeezed out a word from his teeth.
"The Fort Benning military base where we are located is more than 900 kilometers away from the St. Lucie underwater nuclear power plant. The direct problems caused by the nuclear explosion will not affect our safety and life."
Not only are the locations of all human settlements and all nuclear power plants marked on it, but the St. Lucie underwater nuclear power plant in Florida, which Professor Jacob mentioned today, is also specially marked.
"Moir, Daryl, Iss, Cambett, I'm so happy to see you wake up safely."
"It just so happens that today I have some good news to share with my friends."
This serious and authoritative female doctor looked at Leon with a sincere and trusting look and said:
Facing the four people's somewhat touched and curious eyes, he gave a slightly bright smile and said:
"Amy and Paige are both pregnant. I'm going to be a father."
However, as it is the third largest city in Georgia, this has become a long and arduous task.
"Leon, according to my observations, the explosion was caused by a nuclear power plant near Port St. Lucie in Florida, the St. Lucie underwater nuclear power plant."
"Perhaps you don't know, after everyone passed out, our combat effectiveness fell into a serious shortage. It was a difficult time, and it was not easy for everyone."
"No matter what, I believe you will lead us to the final victory."
Lyon was very familiar with the skills of winning over people that he learned as a senior executive in his previous life, and was fooling his subordinates.
This team saves Lyon a lot of effort and also lays the foundation for major reforms in the future.
"So, I've been looking forward to you waking up."
After emptying the entire Jackson Airport, the main task of the Logistics Department seamlessly became emptying all valuable items in Columbus.
However, others can escape, but Leon, as a manager, cannot. He has to consider many more things than ordinary survivors.
"It covers a larger area and has a stronger effect. The huge sound and optical phenomena it produces will attract all the zombies from Florida and even further away, forming a high-risk area with an extremely dense zombie density."
The two brothers, one old and one young, were playing Texas Hold'em Bridge with two other strong white brothers wearing hospital gowns, with smiles on their faces.
In the hospital, under the guidance of Mrs. Moriarty, Leon saw Moore and Daryl in a high-end ward.
"Nuclear explosion!!"
"Leon, the possible changes in Florida are just our speculation. Maybe they won't happen, or maybe they will be worse. So you must always pay attention to the situation there. Don't worry about the gains and losses at the moment, and eliminate the hidden dangers that may occur in the future as soon as possible."
Precisely because of the busy government affairs, Lyon has not had time to go out for more than a month. Instead, with the help of Amy and some elites from the internal affairs team, he carried out a small-scale reform of the entire company.
Not only did they establish independent medical, educational and business systems, they also promoted a large number of talents from the assessment of the entire company's employees.
Leon thanked everyone for their blessings, chatted with them cordially for a while, and briefly recounted what had happened in the company during this period.
Professor Jacob pushed his glasses, nodded to Peggy who was operating the computer, and then said:
"The explosion at the St. Lucie nuclear power plant has given us a clear indication that these nuclear power plants that have lost human maintenance will inevitably become very serious hidden dangers if they are not dealt with."
He glanced at everyone with a stern look.
"We can't control other places for now, but we have to deal with the three nuclear power plants in Georgia as soon as possible."
