rebuilding in walking dead

Chapter 185: Chapter 185 Primary Combat Chip



After the battle, everyone was very tired. Although they were not seriously injured, they were extremely exhausted both mentally and physically.

Just as Jesus was about to give the order to let everyone rest and relieve their fatigue, the combat engineer who had been responsible for 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 of them, and they are moving away from our current location in another direction."

The two captains were shocked, and then immediately realized that they were able to control the zombies not to move towards the place where the fighting sound was coming from, but instead control the zombies to escape from here. Could it be that the zombies in that teaching building were intelligent?

Michonne stabbed the samurai sword on the ground, panting tiredly and asked:

"Have you seen any special-looking or very conspicuous target?"

The combat engineer, of course, knew that what she was asking was whether there was an intelligent zombie in here. However, the reconnaissance drone was three hundred meters away from them, and with the camera's capabilities, it was impossible to see its specific appearance.

He shook his head and said:

"I'm sorry, Captain Michonne, it's too far for me to tell."

Everyone was a little disappointed when they heard this, but no matter what, they had finally found a possible target, so they certainly couldn't let them get 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, as there may be corruptors inside them."

After saying that, both Jesus and Michonne wanted to move their bodies and take their troops with them to chase after those mutated zombies.

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

"Mr. President, of the three biological weapons you saw, namely, the Berserk Hound, the Mutated Bloodsuckers, and the Plague Crows, only the Berserk Hound can be equipped with combat armor. The other two are too small and cannot carry enough weight. They all use their huge numbers and strong reproductive capacity as weapons to deal with the enemy."

"Miss Clementine, if that's the case, then we can give it a try, but you must follow my orders."

In response to the President's proposal, both scholars had no objection and expressed that they would conduct more in-depth research in this area in the future.

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

Especially when he was in the Mason Institute, when he saw his masterpiece being pinned to the ground and crushed by the armored soldiers of the Human League without any chance to fight back, he even doubted for a time whether his research had any meaning at all.

"Captain Jesus, Captain Michonne, let me follow. I'll take Tom with me."

"As for the Tyrant and Licker biochemical weapons, after discussing with Professor Amlin, we both feel that they are not suitable for this overly simple combat chip, which will severely limit their combat capabilities."

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

Maybe it was because old man Mason was eager to make a contribution, or maybe it was because Professor Amlin's technology was too superb, but in less than half a month, they restored the experimental combat chip that Dr. Mason mentioned, and invited Lyon to visit their achievements.

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

Just like the berserk hound, this biological weapon possesses very high agility and speed. It can quickly approach the enemy and dodge many attacks. If used in conjunction with high-explosive bombs, it can easily kill those difficult enemies.

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

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

"So we didn't put their two types of test subjects into today's experiment."

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

The two camps confronted each other. The mutant moles were running around, crowded together, looking at the monsters opposite with fear. The biological weapons were like wood, completely unresponsive to the outside world, just standing there stupidly.

"As for the improvement 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 complicated, it will affect the operators' use."

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

In the past month, I don't know if it was good luck or coincidence, but all kinds of good news have been concentrated in this period of time.

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

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

Professor Amlin, who was standing next to him, smiled modestly and said to Leon:

"However, gentlemen, you are not young anymore. Make sure you get enough rest and take good care of your health. Only in this way can you make more contributions to the Human Union."

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

Dr. Mason replied respectfully:

"I approve of your undertaking, Miss Clementine."

Just like a knife or a hammer, it can only be used on the front battlefield.

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

Now after hearing President Leon's proposal, his mind was suddenly opened. Yes, if the monsters' attack power is not enough, they can use external objects to increase their destructive power.

Others also tried, but the situation was not much better than that of Jesus and the other two. Moreover, even if there were a few warriors with good physical strength who could give chase, if their number was too small, they would only die in the face of hundreds of powerful mutant zombies.

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

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

Old man Mason didn't dare to be arrogant, he immediately nodded and said:

"Your suggestion is excellent, Mr. President."

If this happened under normal circumstances, in a normal environment, when these mutant monsters faced these lively mutant moles, they would rush forward with saliva drooling and devour their flesh and blood.

Although carrying out the mission was more important, she was very clear about which was more important, compared with Clementine's safety.

"The Armored Titan has a good load-bearing capacity. It shouldn't be a problem to take the three of you with it."

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

The battle just now was too difficult. Everyone was fully focused and tried their best. The high-intensity fighting lasted for nearly half an hour.

Opposite them was a group of more than thirty mutant moles.

It can be said that there are surprises one after another. If things continue to go smoothly in the future, it won't be long before he can command the biochemical army and walk out of the territory of Georgia again to expand the territory outside.

Lyon nodded in understanding. Professor Amlin has always been a very pragmatic scholar. He knows exactly what kind of equipment the Human Union needs.

"It doesn't need to have complicated functions. You just need to point and shoot."

How should I put it, I'm a little disappointed.

"We researchers have stayed in the lab for too long and our thinking is too rigid. Only a wise person like you can think so clearly."

"It only takes a little bit of mind-expansion to solve a problem we've been thinking about for a long time."

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

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

"Besides, this manual operating system is still too troublesome. I hope you can transform it into voice control and temporarily classify this version of the chip as a primary combat chip. Its functions can be reduced."

"Dr. Mason is too flattering, Mr. President."

"And the combat armor of the Berserker Hounds is quite simple, just modified metal plate armor. By enhancing the defense of their heads, chests, and limbs, their survivability in combat can be increased several times."

He casually took out two cigars, handed them to the two scholars, lit one for himself, and said:

"It's nothing, actually. Based on the battle video of our Human Alliance soldiers in the Mason Institute, I just think the attack power of the berserk hound is too weak."

Lyon nodded in understanding. After all, Dr. Mason had only joined the Human Union for less than a month and was eager to demonstrate his value. It would be quite good if he could produce some results. He couldn't force it too much.

Clementine was a little disappointed. She was not the kind of girl who was spoiled by her parents. She did not regard Leon's kindness as a bad thing, nor did she hate the actions of her elders. It was just that deep down in her heart, she also wanted to make more contributions to everyone.

You can only control the characters in the game, such as choosing which enemy to attack, stopping the attack, retreating and other very mechanical commands.

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

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

He controlled the three biological weapons in the laboratory to kill the mutant moles on the opposite side. Facing these killing machines, the mutant inspectors' pitiful combat power was just a decoration.

Then they demonstrated many different functions such as self-destruction, mutual fighting and hibernation. The experiment was completed only after all the biological weapons in the laboratory were destroyed.

Mason held a remote control with a dozen buttons on it, handed it to Leon and said:

"Our original operating system was quite complicated and had to be used in conjunction with a computer, but the control system designed by Professor Amlin is quite convenient and much easier to use in combat."

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

Professor Amlin looked at old man Mason nodding and bowing with some amusement. He knew Lyon's temper very well. Lyon always treated capable people like Mason very kindly and there was no need for him to please him deliberately.

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

In fact, they will not react at all if they are killed without being given orders.

He looked at Dr. Mason and said:

"Please, Mr. President, I will do whatever you ask me to do."

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

"But you are not going alone. You must take Captain Michonne and our combat engineers with you."

We have also acquired new super mutants and micro-nuclear batteries, and now even the combat chips that control biological weapons have made progress.

Biological weapons are just as their name suggests, they are just weapons. Under the control of this combat chip, these mutant monsters have no ability to think at all, do not know how to adapt to circumstances, do not know how to disguise themselves, and cannot execute more than three commands at the same time.

However, after hearing that it was Clementine who was asked to carry out the mission, Michonne subconsciously rejected this decision.

Not only did they discover Mason and his biological weapons research institute and obtain a large number of war weapons, but they also reached a large-scale trade agreement with the Federation to help them eliminate pirates, which brought the relationship between the two sides to a step further.

"It's not that I don't believe in your ability, but the President has said that your safety must be the top priority."

Leon reached out and took the remote control. The whole structure was a mixture of metal and plastic. Each button was marked with simple words, such as attack, retreat, stop, etc. It looked like an operating panel used when playing games and was relatively simple and easy to understand.

On the other hand, an interesting experiment is going on in the Human Rights Alliance.

Old man Mason laughed so hard that all the wrinkles on his face showed. He said to Leon respectfully:

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

"This way, even if the claws and teeth of the berserk hound cannot cause effective damage to the enemy, we can still achieve the goal of destroying the enemy by detonating explosives."

.........

He thought for more than ten seconds, then said to the two scholars:

"That's all for now. You've done a great job. I'll allocate more research resources to you."

Leon also found the old man's funny appearance very interesting, but he did not dissuade Mason directly. 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.

Lyon thought about it and felt that it was indeed more in line with reality, so he nodded and continued to listen to Mason's story.

In front of his subordinates, Lyon did not pretend to be humble. He chatted with the two scholars encouragingly for a while, painted a few pie in the sky, gave them a reward, and then turned and left.

However, this batch of mutant monsters locked in the laboratory are different from other mutant monsters. Different types of combat chips are implanted in their bodies. Through technological means, the information transmission in their barren brains is limited, blocking the desire to attack in the brain.

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

Michonne punched the ground in frustration. She had been carrying out this mission for more than half a month. She finally encountered the target for the second time, but she could only watch them escape. It was so frustrating.

Unfortunately, the population of the People's United Organization is still too small. Even though they own vast tracts of land, they simply do not have the ability to manage them.

Humans have been kicked down from the top of the food chain, and in today's world, the number of monsters is still thousands of times that of humans.

If we want to revive human civilization, we have a long way to go!
