NOVEL NEXT Chapter 15: Chapter 15 Base
"Boss, call Old Moore over here, what do you want me to do?"
Lyon threw a cigar to More and said:
"After 3pm, I will take the convoy back to the base and will not come here again in the next few days."
"I'll leave the entire combat team to you, but you must ensure the safety of everyone here. Can you do it?"
Moore took the cigar, smelled it, and put it in his pocket without lighting it. He patted his chest and assured Leon:
"No problem, boss. I promise you that I will bring everyone back safely."
Leon nodded and added:
"You know where the base is, right? It's the Atlanta CDC, an hour and a half drive from here."
"On the way to deliver the supplies, you must also send a team of people to protect us to prevent any blind bastards from attacking us. Our enemies are not just zombies. You should know that some people have no bottom line."
"Okay boss, don't worry, I will arrange it."
----Dividing line----
At 3 pm, Lyon drove a blue off-road sports car and led the way. Behind him, 11 large trucks and 2 tankers formed a long line, carrying more than 100 tons of various daily necessities.
Under Lyon's leadership, the group followed the interstate highway and arrived safely at the outskirts of the Atlanta Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
After arriving at the destination, Leon did not get out of the car immediately. Instead, he drove his sports car and carefully inspected the CDC.
Not seeing a large group of zombies, he easily killed two zombies that might have wandered here randomly, and returned to the metal gate of the CDC.
The driver, the porter, the assistant Amy, and a dozen Umbrella employees were all waiting for him there.
They all had a look of disappointment on their faces, thinking that the Umbrella Corporation base was not as safe as Leon advertised, but due to Leon's prestige, no one dared to really say anything.
Without high and thick walls, without machine guns and shells, and without a large number of manpower, how can these glass be used to defend against the zombies that even the army can defeat?
Leon didn't say anything, but directly took out the silenced pistol from his belt and fired a whole magazine at the glass not far away, scaring the porters and drivers so much that they involuntarily shrank their necks.
Seeing the bullet bounce away without leaving any trace on the bulletproof glass, Leon shrugged and said:
"Please rest assured, this is a real fortress. Without artillery and tanks, no one can really hurt you."
"There is also a complete water and electricity system here. You can live a civilized and modern life here."
"Of course, if there are still people who are not satisfied with this environment, I don't mind excluding them and letting them live the life they want."
After saying that, Leon ignored the others. He glanced at his assistant Amy and said to the sensor on the metal door:
"Red Queen, open the gate."
"Yes, master." An ethereal female voice sounded.
After gaining control of the ground buildings, Lyon changed the intelligent system here to the mode he liked.
Since it is the Umbrella Corporation, the intelligent system should be called Red Queen.
Unfortunately, this intelligent system is not as smart as imagined. It can only perform simple voice recognition control and cannot add more intelligent capabilities.

The metal shutter door rolled up quickly, revealing the glass sliding door inside. Through the two glass doors, you can see the spacious and bright modern reception room inside.
"Come in, follow me. I'll show you around the base first. This is where you'll be living for a long time to come."
Leon waved to everyone, and Amy followed him half a body length behind him obediently, looking like she was ready to receive orders at any time.
The ground building of the CDC is roughly divided into three parts: the visitor area, the staff area and the underground parking lot.
The visitor area includes the exhibition hall and reception center, which is a large modern landmark building with an area of 3,000 square meters and a height of about 40 meters. It has beautiful shape and strong ornamental value.
Its exterior walls adopt a steel-soil hybrid structure, most of which are transparent exterior walls assembled from large steel frames and hundreds of large-area bulletproof glass. The interior is divided into four floors. The first floor is the reception center, and the top three floors are exhibition halls.
It exhibits the entire history of the CDC, the relevant achievements made at various times, and the contributions made to the world by many famous medical and biological experts. There are many types of exhibits, but they are all quite ordinary face-saving projects.
The staff area includes office and living areas. It is a three-story rectangular office building with an area of about 2,000 square meters and looks quite common.
The first floor is the living area, which has a large restaurant, a huge visitor activity room, and functional buildings necessary for life such as toilets, bathhouses, smoking rooms, warehouses, etc.
The second floor is the clerical office area consisting of a dozen private offices and 4 large offices.
The third floor is used for receiving important guests, with conference rooms, screening rooms, private lounges and entertainment rooms. It is decorated quite luxuriously and will be used as Leon's private space in the future.
The first two areas together cover nearly 6,000 square meters, but the actual usable area adds up to 15,000 square meters, which is quite astonishing.
However, the largest of the three areas is not the first two, but the underground parking lot.
For some reason, the parking lot of the CDC was built to be quite huge, with each floor being quite high, and a total of 4 floors. The floor distance is 8 meters high, covering an area of 5,000 square meters, and the total actual area exceeds 20,000 square meters.
Perhaps it was because all the staff had fled after the disaster, and there were only twenty or thirty cars parked here, making the extremely empty environment even more desolate.
However, no matter what the reason was, Leon, as the owner, certainly felt extremely surprised to be able to obtain such a huge safe environment.
After taking everyone on a brief tour of the base, Lyon and others came to the first floor of the underground parking lot. This is connected to the exit of the parking lot. There is a large protective metal door composed of three thick bulletproof steel plates, 6 meters high and 10 meters wide, which can allow various types of vehicles to enter and exit.
He instructed a dozen drivers and logistics department movers:
"The first basement floor has been cleared and will be used as our warehouse."
"You can drive the car in directly later. Today's task is to transfer all the supplies on the truck here. Miss Amy will be responsible for planning the location."
After saying this, he turned to Amy who was following him:
"Ms. Amy, you are responsible for helping them plan the use of the warehouse. Try to classify each type of material as carefully as possible, and leave enough space as a passable road."
"Soon, we will renovate this place, build a wall, and transform it into a professional warehouse."
Leon looked at the Rolex on his hand. It was already 5pm. He patted Amy on the shoulder and said:
"I have something else to do, so I'll leave now. After 8 o'clock, you bring them to the public restaurant on the first floor to meet up."
"If there is anything urgent, every monitor here is connected to the intelligent computer Red Queen. Just shout out Red Queen's name to them and they will be able to contact me."
"That's it. I'm going first."
....
Ten minutes later, Leon came with a huge backpack filled with an astonishing number of glass test tubes. He met Dr. Melfa and Dr. Jenner at the door of the underground research institute.
The two doctors looked surprised and exchanged a few words with Leon. Then the three of them came to the conference room, and Leon pushed the backpack in his hand towards Dr. Melfa.
"Doctor, this is the virus sample you need."
"In total, I collected blood from more than 40 humans and samples from more than 50 zombies of varying degrees. They were all marked."
"It should be enough for you to use for a while."
Melfa nodded, pulled the backpack to her side, and asked Leon without rushing to check it:
"How was it like exploring outside for four days this time?"
"I see you brought back 15 people and more than a dozen truckloads of supplies. You should have made a good harvest."
Leon nodded, thought for a few seconds, and said casually:
"It's OK, but there are very few survivors. I have only gathered more than 40 people, and there are still several thousand tons of daily necessities waiting to be shipped back."
"What!"
"Thousands of tons of supplies? Did you evacuate several small towns?"
