Chapter 39: Chapter 39 Knowledge is powerful
After dark, Georgia Tech fell into a deathly silence.
In the lobby of the underground shelter, Leon took the dinner handed to him by Hillman and nodded to him awkwardly. After all, he had just chopped off the girl's sister's arm in the afternoon and the girl was still in a coma.
Opposite him sat four older men, Professor Jacob, Professor Malloch, Professor Thomas and Professor Amlin.
Leon coughed lightly, cleared his throat, and said:
"Just as Professor Amlin said, our Umbrella Corporation is an organization whose goal is to protect human hope and rebuild human civilization."
"We desperately need the participation of all professors and your students. We will provide you with abundant supplies and absolutely safe protection, and ensure that you can make great contributions to the cause of protecting humanity even in this doomsday world."
When Professors Mallock and Thomas heard that Lyon could provide absolutely safe shelter, their eyes flashed and they were a little moved.
Professor Jacob stroked his stubble and asked:
"We really have to leave here. The resources in the underground shelter can only last for about half a month at most. But according to your description, crossing the zombies in the streets is a very dangerous thing. Even experienced survivors like you almost died as zombies."
"Well, it should be difficult for ordinary people like us, more than a hundred people, to cross over."
Hearing this, Leon smiled confidently and said to the professors:
"You don't need to worry about this matter."
He pulled out a map from his waist bag and pushed it in front of several professors.
"In the afternoon, I went to the library specifically just to find it."
Professor Amlin reached out, spread out the map, and saw the string of English in the center of the map, and shouted in surprise.
"Schematic diagram of Atlanta's sewer construction."
Looking at the surprised looks of the professors, Leon smiled faintly and said:
"In fact, if we had this map when we came to the Polytechnic Institute, we wouldn't have to risk our lives to cross the zombie swarm."
"Now, we just need to leave the city center through the sewers so we can contact the troops outside and come to support us."
Professor Jacob nodded seriously, a smile appeared on his face, and said:
"Mr. Custer, you are truly an excellent leader. You have both the courage to face danger and the wisdom to overcome difficulties."
"Regarding the recruitment of Umbrella Corporation, I will seriously consider it. I hope to go to your base for a field investigation. I wonder if this is a bit presumptuous?"
"Of course, Professor. You will soon find that our base is one of the few places in this world that can be called a paradise."
Leon nodded nonchalantly, but thought in his heart, now that it's in my pot, how can the cooked duck fly away?
After dinner, Leon chatted with a few professors for a while and then returned to his bed.
He was feeling a little excited. This time he made a lot of money by coming to the Polytechnic Institute. Not to mention the nearly one hundred young people, the presence of these three professors alone made Lyon very surprised.
Professor Jacob is an internationally renowned professor of nuclear engineering, Professor Malloch is a leading figure in the study of biological genetic engineering, and Professor Thomas is a very famous mechanical engineer in America.
The three professors are all talented and knowledgeable people, although they cannot play any substantial role in the construction of the base in the short term.
But in the future, after Umbrella Corporation develops, these three professors will be able to greatly increase the company's ceiling.
The next day, Leon and his warriors got up early. Their mission was to find an entrance according to the instructions on the sewer map.
Fortunately, there was an entrance to the sewer on the first floor of the gymnasium. They only needed to clear out the zombies between the sewer entrance and the shelter, and then they could lead the survivors into the sewer.
This was another long battle. Leon and his warriors fought from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m., killing nearly 200 zombies before clearing the road.
Looking at the hole covered by the metal manhole cover, Leon thought for a moment, then turned to Moore and said:
"Darryl and I will go in first to explore the way, and you and the other team members will escort those students and professors over now."
"We will leave marks along the way to confirm the correct and safe route. If anything happens, remember to call me by radio."
Moore took the order and left, taking Glenn, Aggie and T with him.
Leon nodded to the remaining Daryl, and took the lead into the sewer.
As soon as he entered the sewer, a strong stench filled Leon's nose. He took out a flashlight and observed the sewer.
The space in the sewer is not large, only three meters high and no more than five meters wide.
Above Lyon's head were various metal pipes, and under his feet was a small river filled with sewage.
Because it is in a humid environment all year round, both the wall and the two steps close to the wall are covered with green moss. You must pay attention to the strength of walking to avoid falling.
Although it was filled with the stench of decay and slippery moss, what reassured Leon was that there were basically no traces of zombies here.
According to the pre-planned route, he led Daryl forward about 500 meters, but there was still no zombie.
Leon took out the radio from his waist bag and said to Moore:
"Moir, Moir, this is Leon Custer."
"The route here is very safe, and we can advance with our troops."
After a few seconds, Moore's voice came from the radio.
"received."
"Boss, we have started to enter the sewer."
"OK, we will continue to explore the way forward. If there are any special circumstances, remember to contact me."
There were no dangers along the way, except for the occasional zombie that broke into the sewer. It took Leon and his companions four hours to travel the 10-kilometer distance along the sewer before they were able to get out of the university town.
After choosing an exit, Leon pushed open the manhole cover above his head and climbed out, only to find that they had come to an alley between two buildings.
Using a silenced pistol, Leon quickly killed two zombies that came after hearing the noise, and observed their location.
It was about 1 kilometer away from where Rick and other troops were stationed. The alley was blocked by an iron net, and there were about two to three hundred zombies on the road.
After gathering this information, Leon took out his radio, tuned it to the channel where Rick and the others were, and said:
"Rick, Rick, this is Leon Custer."
After a few seconds, Rick's voice came.
"This is Rick, Leon, where are you now?"
Leon looked at the house number of the building next to him.
"We are currently located within 2 kilometers of you, at your ten o'clock direction, 109 Oak Leaf Street."
"We are trapped in this street. Now, you bring other people here, clean up the zombies here, and take us away."
"Okay, Leon, we'll be right there."
