rebuilding in walking dead

Chapter 182: Chapter 182 A Great Harvest



With the death of the mutant giant scorpion, the battle came to an end.

In the ruins of a building more than 300 meters away from the giant scorpion's corpse, Kevila put away his newly acquired high-energy laser gun and was very satisfied with its power.

She picked up the communicator rather arrogantly, snorted, and said:

"Hey, honey, this monster doesn't look that strong. The Apache helicopter you sent is a bit of a waste."

Leon didn't care about his wife's ridicule. He smiled and explained:

"In this battle, we were able to defeat the giant scorpion thanks to the help of Giant Tom, otherwise, if we only relied on tanks, planes, and our soldiers, how many people would we have to sacrifice to defeat this monster that could sneak into the sand at will?"

Kevila chuckled, walked out from his hiding place, and walked towards the location of the giant scorpion's corpse, saying:

"That's something you, as the president, should consider. I don't bother to worry about it."

.........

After the battle, it was soon time to harvest the spoils.

When Leon and Kevlar arrived near the mutant giant scorpion's corpse from the command center, Professor Mallock and his apprentice Reiner gathered around the corpse and went about their business.

Lyon nodded with satisfaction. Mediocre things are often not very outstanding and do not have much practical value. It is better to achieve perfection in some aspect.

"Although the weight will increase to eight kilograms, the amount of armor can be doubled."

Moreover, these shells are taken down in one piece, polished and modified according to the structure of the human body, and then sewn together with special fabrics.

"This mutant giant scorpion is too big. If we want to dissect it without losing as much material as possible, we need some professional people to help us."

Only two members of the Stinger team, Jesus and Michonne, and some staff arranged by Leon remained here.

After they became a family, his wife and children were inevitably influenced by him and became gourmets who love delicious food.

Without trying to destroy the shell fragment, he handed it to Professor Mallock, then took out a pistol from his belt and fired several shots at the mutant giant scorpion's body.

The giant scorpion's body was huge, larger than the mutant spiders and pink octopus monsters they had hunted before. From its shattered shell, they could see a large amount of white, tender meat like crab meat, filling the entire shell.

Noticing that his red-haired wife, Kevera, who was following him, also swallowed quietly, Leon smiled secretly in his heart.

Pistols, assault rifles, submachine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles.

Seeing the confident smile on Professor Thomas's face, Lyon did not hesitate and directly picked up a pistol from the cart, pointed it at the armor on the dummy, and pulled the trigger.

But it is common that nothing in the world is perfect.

"No, since it cannot be popularized on a large scale, there is no need to reduce its advantages to increase the number."

Unfortunately, Professor Malloch was an honest man. He did not appreciate Lyon's humor and continued:

Professor Mallock had a smile on his face and handed the shell fragment in his hand to Leon.

They were busy until the evening. With the help of the giant Tom, the claws, eight thin legs and the remaining three tails of the mutant giant scorpion were all removed, leaving only the bare main body.

As for the other dismembered claws, stingers and other parts, a special convoy will come to transport them in the next one or two days.

I will notify Malok and others later and ask them to decompose the body of this giant scorpion as soon as possible to ensure the freshness of these ingredients in the shortest time possible.

.........

Then, with the efforts of the residents of the temporary base, these parts were transported to the base using horse-drawn carriages.

"It is precisely for weight considerations that we did not add too much metal material to strengthen the joints."

They were holding all kinds of instruments, making cuts here and injections there on the corpses, with an unknown fanaticism on their faces, collecting all kinds of samples. They looked like hungry perverts, which was a bit creepy.

However, it is still unable to defend against attacks from heavy firearms and bombs.

However, it is still possible to provide some support within our capacity.

Just like now, although the defense of this set of equipment is not outstanding, and it may even affect the wearer's smooth movement, but its light weight will lower the threshold for use a lot. Even those who are not physically gifted can use them without obstacles, so it is more suitable for popularization.

The next morning, Leon and others came in a hurry and left in a hurry. Even Professor Mallock, who originally wanted to stay in the radiation zone to observe the mutated monsters and the ecological environment here, put all his energy into studying the mutated giant scorpions and chose to follow Leon and others back to the main base.

Tom nodded, and said with a hint of amazement:

Afterwards, Lyon did not stop testing, but continued to test the effects of various other firearms.

"Yes, Mr. President, it is hard to imagine that a material with the same defensive power as steel weighs only about the same amount of plastic."

"You can try the defensive power of this light combat armor."

Of course, Lyon had no objection to such a request. He quickly conveyed the order. It was estimated that it would not be long before a plane would arrive here with more researchers.

"So, the total weight of this set of light armor is less than five kilograms. Even ordinary people can wear it without any problems, without worrying about physical strength."

As a time traveler who is immune to all poisons, Leon has eaten many ingredients that ordinary people cannot eat, but he rarely sees high-end ingredients like this one that can make people hungry just by looking at them.

Professor Jacob, who was standing nearby, also smiled and said:

However, just as he was wondering whether to steam or grill the fatty white meat, Professor Malloch and Professor Jacob came over, talking and laughing, with excited looks on their faces.

"That's enough for me to produce thirty micro-nuclear batteries of the same energy level as before."

"Equip their troops and simply call them the Scorpion Corps."

He decided to ask Hathaway to test whether the gravy of this mutant giant scorpion was edible after he returned. If it was, he would use his power to intercept a portion of it to satisfy his own desires.

"In that case, after completing the blueprints, you should hurry up and produce this batch of light armor."

"I thought so too, so I came to ask you if you could send more researchers here."

"The carapaces in these parts are too thick, and we haven't found a suitable place to use them yet."

"Moreover, considering the size of this mutant giant scorpion, we should be able to obtain a considerable number of its shells."

"Look at this fragment of carapace."

The elderly Professor Jacob was as interested as they were. He held a notebook and recorded and studied the body structure of the mutant giant scorpion, making a clicking sound from time to time.

Leon's eyebrows jumped, and he turned to look at Professor Mallock and Professor Jacob who also showed surprised expressions, and said:

You know, with his current physical fitness, even if he used 90% of his strength, he would still be twice as strong as those famous world weightlifting champions in his previous life.

Snap! Snap! Snap!

A magazine of bullets poured out and accurately hit the dummy fifty meters away. With Leon's extraordinary eyesight, he clearly saw that all the pistol bullets were bounced away, without even leaving any obvious marks on the black shells.

He pushed a cart loaded with different types of guns in front of Leon and continued:

"According to your request, our Research Department has completed this set of light armor."

"Mr. President, these black shells are indeed excellent materials."

"But, Professor Thomas, how much does this suit of armor weigh? It should be quite light, right?"

So, that night, after removing many parts that had no practical use, the Chinook transport plane directly shipped the giant scorpion's trunk weighing more than ten tons back from the air.

Hearing this news, Leon was also very happy, but he still reminded Professor Jacob:

"Professor, before we get the intelligence on the next super mutant, we must keep some to make virus inhibitors."

The bald professor waved the black shell in his hand, which should have been shattered by the Gatling gun, at Leon, and said excitedly:

"Mr. President, we are lucky. This big guy is full of treasures."

After reaching out to take it, Leon's first feeling was that it was very light, almost as heavy as plastic of the same volume.

"Also, next time you make a micro nuclear battery, you don't need to make it to this energy level. It's too wasteful. Just one-tenth or even one-hundredth of it will be enough."

Thinking of the mutant crab's attack power, Leon pinched the shell fragment with both hands, used 90% of his body's strength, and tried to bend it in one direction, but it didn't move at all.

A few days later, at the Human Union Base, the laboratory of the scientific research department.

The small-caliber bullet from the pistol hit the black carapace of the mutant giant scorpion, but only created some sparks and a faint white mark.

After a few days of rest, the two captains will lead their teammates to continue to carry out the tasks assigned by His Excellency the President.

"So, how many sets of armor can we make with the carapaces we stripped from the mutant giant scorpions?"

The result was very good. Apart from the fact that the special fabric connected to the armor had a poor defense, the protection level of this light armor was close to that of professional bulletproof steel plates, and its defense was even better than that of special spider silk.

Leon and the other man did not disturb them, but instead focused their attention on the corpse.

However, at the gap in the shell where he deliberately aimed, although the expensive special fabric was not directly penetrated, a very obvious dent could still be seen. Presumably, if this was worn by a real person, it would have suffered serious damage.

Malok nodded in agreement and said:

Therefore, they are quite lacking in flexibility and ductility. When worn on the body, they will restrict the wearer's movements to a certain extent, making them stiff and mechanical, and unsuitable for dodging and other delicate movements.

Leon thought about it for more than ten seconds, then shook his head and said:

Leon put down the gun in his hand and asked Professor Thomas:

"There are no major problems with the defense, but the overall structure still needs to be improved."

"However, if you allow us to use some other bulletproof materials to replace those non-lethal protective positions,"

However, Lyon did not transfer all of the ten Apache attack helicopters he brought back to the base. Instead, he left behind six Apaches, as well as the corresponding pilots and engineers.

Now that he was here, he had no way of staying in this temporary base for too long to help Jesus and others complete the task of capturing intelligent zombies.

He has always followed the policy of elite troops. After all, legion-level combat is a minority, and small battlefields are often the mainstream of their battles.

"However, we kept the two huge claws and the four words on the mutant crab's tail."

After several days of research and production without sleep and food, Lyon began to see the benefits of this action.

Just looking at them can make people salivate faster and create an instinct to swallow them.

Thomas seemed to have anticipated that Lyon would ask this question. He answered without thinking:

"According to the calculations of our research department, if all the carapaces are included, we can probably manufacture about fifty sets of this light armor."

"It's probably because it has lived in the radiation zone for a long time. The degree of mutation of this mutant giant scorpion exceeds those samples we have obtained before. It contains a large amount of z-element in its body. Calculated by its volume, it is probably two to three times that of the mutant octopus."

However, after dismembering the mutant giant scorpion, Leon suddenly realized that if they were transported separately, there would be no need to send people to bring the researchers from the base over. This would not only be time-consuming, but would also easily cause the dead mutant giant scorpions to rot, which would be a waste of resources.

Jacob nodded with a smile. He had only thought about his own research task just now, and indeed he had not considered it as thoroughly as Leon had.

Professor Thomas, the head of the research, put a piece of armor made of special cloth and black shell as the main body, and added many special materials, on a simulated dummy.

"It's a very good protective material. It's light and has good defensive power. It's very suitable for making armor."

"Leon, the situation here is also very good."

Speaking of the tail sting, Leon suddenly thought of the venom in the tail sting, and someone else asked:

"By the way, Thomas, is there anything special about the venom of this giant crab?"

Professor Thomas shook his head and said:

"I don't know about that either. The venom inside was not delivered to our laboratory."

"That guy Malok took it and studied it himself long ago."
