Chapter Five Hundred and Seventy Second: Finding the Way

"Expanding forceps."

"Scalpel number two."

"Be careful, the body fluid of this bug is very corrosive."

"Take it out, give me the storage box."

"This thing looks really strange."

In the narrow temporary dissection room, Belford, the medical director of the Aurora Legion, was personally examining a dead radiated cockroach. On the simple operating table, a complete giant worm was cut into pieces, and some of the tissues that were considered to have miraculous healing effects were specially taken out and stored separately.

After completing the dissection, Belford also ordered his assistants to carefully clean up the various parts of the bug to avoid possible infection or accidents. After all, cockroaches have always been considered to carry a large number of harmful bacteria. Who knows what will happen after radiation mutation?

And Belford walked out of the anatomy room, took off his mask and said to Zhou Qingfeng who was guarding outside: "His Excellency, these mutated creatures are of great research value, but I am not an expert in studying insects and mutations. As for whether they are really locals?" Speaking of efficacy, this requires a lot of experimentation.

As for the corpses of the other two 'mutants', they are also materials that can arouse the great research interest of professionals. However, the equipment and conditions here are not sufficient, so they can only be transported back to Havana for follow-up research. Maybe we can find out their weaknesses. "

Belford arrived on a transport plane with a dedicated biomedical team. They have been here for two days, investigating the living conditions of mutant creatures in the North American continent, and helping Zhou Qingfeng think of a way to deal with the current problem.

However, Zhou Qingfeng didn't care too much about the so-called medical research. He just ordered: "All mutant creatures will be transported away by the transport plane that came this time. I don't need you to conduct any large-scale research. I only need you to do one thing." .”

As he said, Zhou Qingfeng rolled up his sleeves, "Draw a few hundred milliliters of my blood, inject it into some prisoners, and observe their condition within a week. If their bodies appear to be strengthened and weakened, the glands or flesh of irradiated cockroaches will be injected. Give them a block and see the effect."

Belford was suddenly at a loss, he couldn't figure out the reason for doing this at all. And Zhou Qingfeng said in a deep voice: "I hope this is a secret experimental project, and all the experimental results will be directly handed over to me and Lena Fox."

"Your Excellency, Legion Commander, can you tell me what the purpose of doing this is? I think I need a clear experiment goal." Belford asked in embarrassment.

"The residents here say that the glands of irradiated cockroaches can cure any disease, any injury. I think this is too exaggerated, but even though I have doubts about it, I still want to try it." Zhou Qingfeng's purpose is very simple, he just wants to Find a way out for yourself.

Although I still don't quite understand, Dang Belford has some guesses in his heart. Facing the order directly issued by the head of the legion, he could only nod in agreement. After the blood was drawn, he came in a hurry and led the team to leave in a hurry.

Seeing the three c-130 transport planes flying away again, everyone in the entire stronghold sighed. Katerina asked Zhou Qingfeng: "Do you really believe that those mutated cockroaches are special medicines that can save your life?"

"Try it, there is no harm." Zhou Qingfeng is in charge of the 'Aurora Legion', and the entire legion is his private property. "The residents of the stronghold said that the research institute of the Brotherhood of Steel is using irradiated cockroaches to create something called a 'healing needle'. It is said that some minor injuries can be healed quickly, and serious injuries can be greatly relieved. I am very interested in this."

"How is this possible?" Katerina shook her head slightly. Women are naturally disgusted with cockroaches, let alone giant cockroaches. She didn't report any hope for the so-called 'magical effect of radiated cockroaches', but she didn't want to hit Zhou Qingfeng, so she didn't directly deny it.

And for many people in the stronghold, those three transport planes were simply the only chance to get to the Garden of Eden. Because more than a hundred people in the stronghold who were considered to be more valuable just took the plane and left. They escaped the sea of ​​suffering and no longer have to endure suffering.

As for the action team, the three transport planes took away some wounded and burdensome, and also brought a lot of equipment they needed. Lightweight fire assault vehicles are considered to be suitable for use in complex terrain, which has actually been verified during the attack on the city of Merida.

This time, if it weren't for an assault gun equipped with heavy artillery and explosive reactive armor, facing the raging bug swarm and the terrifying "mutants", it would be hard to say who would win.

Regarding this situation, Zhou Qingfeng decisively asked Havana to get him another armored combat vehicle. So three lightly armored 'Panhards' and a btr-60 equipped with heavy artillery were transported over.

In addition, Zhou Qingfeng's elite soldiers have also been replenished, increasing to more than 50 people, and they are fully loaded again, ready to fight at any time. This number of combat troops has reached the limit of the remote deployment of the 'Aurora Legion'. If more manpower is added, logistical supplies will not be able to keep up.

After gaining a firm foothold, Zhou Qingfeng naturally started to search Baltimore. But according to the photos taken by aerial reconnaissance, he still has a problem-the road to Baltimore is full of various scrapped vehicles, and the closer the city is, the more it gets.

It is impossible to clear a passable road without a lot of hands and time. What Zhou Qingfeng lacked was manpower and time. Since there is no GPS and no electronic navigation, he has to find a guide to re-plan a route that allows the armored vehicle to advance outside the existing road.

"Thankfully, Maryland is not a hilly country, but a plain, which makes our detour plan feasible. But I don't know what we will encounter on the road. I hope it is not hordes of hostile creatures .”

Zhou Qingfeng has a detailed map of the surrounding areas of Baltimore, but it has been almost a year since the catastrophe happened, who knows if the map is still useful? He ordered people to look for guides familiar with the surrounding environment in the stronghold, and found four in total.

"Everyone, don't be nervous. I just hope that you can help me find a suitable route to the city of Baltimore." Zhou Qingfeng personally met the four selected guides. When his request was made, the three male guides immediately Jijiguagua began to come up with ideas.

A road of more than 40 kilometers was discussed all afternoon, and about three roads were selected. But there is a problem with these three roads-no one has gone through them, they are just blinded by past experience.

"Hey, ma'am, what's your name?" Zhou Qingfeng threw the pencil for drawing the map on the table, squeezed his swollen head, and looked at the only woman among the four guides.

"My name is Niya. I used to be a student of the Johns Hopkins University Business School." The woman said weakly, she looked at Zhou Qingfeng carefully.

"Oh, I've heard about you. You were supposed to get on the plane to Havana. I'm sorry to keep you here. Do you have any opinion on our course of action?" Zhou Qingfeng asked.

Niya looked at Zhou Qingfeng, then at the map, and finally lingeringly walked to the table, drew an arc on one of the routes with her finger, pursed her lips and said, "I suggest you take a detour."

"why?"

"You'd better go to Granite first."

"why?"

"Because there is a shelter somewhere, maybe we can find someone who can help us."

"refuge?"
