The Walking Dead: Rebuild

Chapter 103 fluke
Leon looked at the hanging human-shaped silk chrysalis in a daze, and it took more than ten seconds before he came back to his senses.

Like ordinary survivors, his heart was a little broken. Damn it, is this still the world of the walking dead?The number of zombies was already large enough, and these mutant monsters with such powerful individual strength were created. How could he, a time traveler, happily fight zombies, pick up beautiful women, and become a king?

However, there is still a doubt in his mind. This spider monster is only a little bit strong. If a team of more than a dozen survivors encounters him, it may be destroyed by the group, but even so, it cannot be silent. Arrest more than 100 of Frank's soldiers when they are relieved?

There must be something strange in this.

But soon, Leon's doubts were explained.

The Peggy siblings and the students in the armed mechanics class who were sitting next to him suddenly covered their heads and wanted to open their mouths to say something, but they suddenly fainted within a few seconds.

Leon was startled and immediately turned to look at the soldiers behind him. He saw that those capable and strong soldiers seemed to have been hit by special anesthetics. In a short period of time, they all fell to the ground in a mess. He fell to the floor and made no further moves.

As if in an instant, everyone else in the entire spacious room died, and he was the only one left alive.

Leon rolled Paige's eyelids with a solemn expression, observing the contraction of her pupils. He then placed his fingers on the artery in the girl's neck, checked her pulse, and stretched his palm from the girl's collar uneasily. He went in and felt her heartbeat.

Fortunately, judging from various signs on Paige's body, she had only entered a state of deep sleep or deep anesthesia, and her life was not in danger.

Leon checked the physical conditions of Sherman, Daryl and Moore next to him. These three people were the same as Peggy, but they were unconscious, which made him feel relieved.

Judging from the situation of these four people, the other warriors should be unconscious, but Leon is still awake. It is most likely his special ability. The special energy that is invulnerable to all poisons plays a role, and the source of this toxicity must be It was the spider monster that they killed.

Although it is not known how this spider monster releases its poison, it also explains why Frank and his soldiers were quietly captured by the spider monster.

Regardless of the life or death of Frank and others, what Leon is most worried about now is whether the coma of his men is short-term or permanent. If, if this coma is permanent, then this operation is really It was a heavy loss.

After thinking for a few minutes, Leon decided to move the corpse of the spider monster away first and lock it in a closed space. Otherwise, if the corpse may continue to emit the kind of coma-inducing toxicity, the people in the room will You will never wake up.

He returned to the previous ammunition warehouse and found a truck for transportation. After a lot of effort, he moved the huge spider corpse to the trailer and transported it directly to an unknown person in the shelter. The small warehouse where supplies are stored is sealed and sealed.

I found some cleaning tools, collected the blood and flesh residues that the spider monster splashed on the ground, and put them into a sealed box.

After working for nearly three hours, cleaning up all the remnants that might emit poison, the stunned soldiers still showed no sign of waking up.

Leon sighed, and after communicating via radio, he called down one of the welders above to serve as a test subject, and ordered the other workers to continue to expand the cutting opening at the gate on the first floor of the underground base until it could pass cars.

After leading the bewildered worker around the shelter for half an hour, but still not seeing him in a coma, Leon put aside his worries and called in more logistics personnel to help them move the unconscious soldier. They were sent back to the ground.

He also had to consider what method he should use to enter the spider cave on the ceiling, so that he could rescue those trapped in the spider silk and see if they were still alive.

After thinking for a few minutes, Leon decided that before taking action, he had to figure out the characteristics of these spider silks. Otherwise, even if he entered the spider's lair, he would probably not be able to do anything.

However, the results of the test surprised and surprised Leon. The silk spun out by the large patterned spider was simply a treasure. Not only was it very light in weight, equivalent to ordinary cloth, but its toughness was beyond imagination.

Those spider webs wrapped around the drone, even if they are one millimeter thick, are difficult to break with brute force. At least Lyon used more than 300 kilograms of pulling force, but he could not break it with brute force.

And if you use a sharp dagger to cut it, Lyon will have to exert more than 55 kilograms of force to cut such a thick spider silk.

Its toughness seems to have exceeded that of ordinary steel. No wonder it can easily withstand drone bullets.

After obtaining this rare material, Leon's mind instantly thought of many ways to use it. Not only can they be made into strong ropes, super animal traps, or even these spider silks can be woven into various composite types. Protective clothing, as you can imagine, the defensive power of this kind of protective clothing must be amazing.

Since it was difficult to destroy these spider silks using physical destruction methods, Leon had no choice but to use other tools around him to conduct other experiments.

But the results of this experiment surprised Leon even more. He took out the oxygen cutting gun used for cutting steel to conduct the experiment. He originally thought that these spider silks must be as afraid of flames as ordinary spider webs.

However, the results of the experiment show that not only are flames at ordinary temperatures unable to destroy these spider silks, but the temperature conductivity of the spider silks is also very weak. Except for the burned areas, no increase in temperature can be felt at all in other parts.This is a very useful fireproof material that can effectively insulate high and low temperatures.And once the temperature of the flame rises to three to four thousand degrees, these spider silks will melt as quickly as ice and snow, quickly turning into dark powder and dissipating in the air, which is very magical.

The subsequent flooding experiment surprised Leon even more. When he threw a tied reconnaissance drone into a water tank, less than half of the water in the tank was quickly absorbed by the spider silk. The volume of the spider silk that has absorbed the water will expand rapidly, about four or five times, and it will become like a rubber band, with a considerable degree of ductility, that is, elasticity.

As long as enough water is absorbed, Leon can use the elasticity of these spider silks to peel them off the drone.

After obtaining this method, Leon felt a little relieved. At least, if Frank and the others were still alive, he at least had a way to rescue them from the spider silk.

Without any delay, Lyon immediately issued orders to the employees at the umbrella base and canning processing plant.

The entire rescue process lasted for three days. Under the order of Lyon, Colonel William and everyone in the canning process moved to Fort Benning Fortress, officially using this fortress as the military stronghold of the Umbrella Company.

The employees of the logistics department welded some temporary ladders with steel and extended them from the ground to the spider nest. Using these ladders and oxygen cutting guns, they rescued thousands of humanoid silk pupae hanging on the roof.

Under Lyon's notification, the researchers at the Umbrella Base rushed to Lyon at an extremely fast speed, as if they were reincarnations of starving ghosts.

Facing the special spider monster corpse and a large amount of special spider silk provided by Lyon, these researchers seemed to have fallen into a state of fanaticism, and their thin bodies were filled with infinite vitality.

After continuous sleepless research, Leon saw for the first time that the smile on the face of Dr. Melfa, who was known for his seriousness, never stopped.

Even Professor Jacob, who is not young at all, seems to have regained his youth, studying those samples day and night.

Unlike these researchers, although Leon is also concerned about whether those studies can be used in practice, he is more concerned about whether the survivors who were bound by spider silk are still alive.

When he sent people to transport those humanoid silk chrysalis to a special room, and used the method of flooding to rescue them with great effort.

The results obtained are regrettable. Of the total of more than 300 silk pupae, more than 900 have turned into mummies like mummies. There is no liquid in the body. The flesh and blood in the body has been sucked dry, leaving only The next sheet of shriveled skin wraps around the bone.

As for the remaining 400 silk chrysalis, except for Frank and his more than 100 soldiers, who were in a coma like his men.

Although the other more than 300 survivors still had vital signs of being alive, almost all of them had been starved to the point of being reduced to skin and bones, and their original appearance could not even be distinguished.

Fortunately, as the largest military base in Georgia, home to more than 20 people, it has a large and complete hospital.

Lyon transferred ten nurses and three doctors from the Umbrella Company here to take care of more than 700 comatose patients.

After testing more than a dozen types of medical equipment in the hospital, Lyon and others discovered that a special anesthetic gas would evaporate from the blood of the large patterned spider.

Once humans inhale a certain concentration of this gas, their bodies will enter a forced state of suspended animation, and the metabolic rate in the body will drop to the lowest level required by the body.

Depending on the individual's physical fitness, one can sustain a suspended animation for up to one year, and then it will become real death.

According to Lyon's current medical knowledge, there is no way to relieve this state of suspended animation.

Perhaps it was because the more than 400 survivors were so hungry that they were reduced to bones, so the spider monster did not suck them into mummies in disgust.

This situation made Leon very distressed. Although these people could be kept alive by injecting glucose and other nutrients, at the same time they lost their capable subordinates like Moore, Daryl, and Peggy, and they also lost their protective umbrella. Nearly half of the company's elite warriors.

This would cause considerable trouble for him as a manager, both in terms of combat effectiveness and the internal public opinion of the umbrella company.
