章 53: 53. These kids
Mario was driving one of tanks and thanked all deities that the tank was one of those nothing can hurt.
Mutant pig stared at ten of tanks with his gleaming red eyes and roared, but just when he opened mouth he was shot and just fell down.
The 'fight' was lasting only one minute. But that was not a problem. Problem was now to drag this thing back to the base.
Luckily the program predicted this and already contacted him.
"Shoot spikes at him." The large mutant pig was killed by simple swallowed grenade. But what they had is strange net like spikes that were used to hook onto creatures nostrils and mouth and drag him behind.
The mutant was so big that they had to leave his body outside the shelter and slowly use special tools that used power stones to cut the skin.
But even then, the skin was impossible to cut.
Aisa was outside and was looking at the sharp teeth and shrugged. "Why do complicated? Try his teeth. I fear they are strong enough."
The teeth were not hard to take out, but then they realized that children have sometimes most logical answer.
The teeth were made out of unknown material and literally cut trough the skin like hot knive trough butter.
"We can melt teeth and make new close combat weapons." One of the crazy scientist swallowed and spoke.
"Go check the meat if it is edible." Emma Thompson had already some knowledge about it, but it is better to be certain. "Check all liquids and even fat and bone. Anything that can help us survive is important. Quick! "
She had no idea how fast the meat will rot or will it get bad.
Mutation might be dangerous or not. Who knows, maybe humans in future won't have anyway anything else to eat.
If they could make sure that these creatures are edible even though there is radiation, maybe there will be some possibility for human survival in future.
Her eyes darkened and she listened to programs voice. "Zero radiation in meat. Zero bacteria in meat. Vitamins and minerals are enough for human consumption. Mutation caused pig to grow but don't have active mutating cells. Recommendation of meat 50 gram per person as the mutated meat is ten times stronger than normal pig meat. Fat is in compressed form. It can be used as fuel or for food. Blood is inedible. In warm water it could be diluted and used as glue. Urine is quite strong. It is quite acidic. I recommend caution. Waste material can be used as heating material in dry form. Skin is most important as it is impenetrable against all known weapons."
Such report made everyone in office astounded and exhalirated.
Emma Thompson looked at the huge animal and made quick decision. "Cut it quick and make special suits. We must send crew to save the people from that shelter while the big radiation cloud is heading towards other continents."
The winds became strong enough and blew the big radiation clouds into many pieces. Luckily the satellite pictures could now show the leftover raids of zombies that traveled trough the day.
But she knew that they were many that hid inside hidden places and moved at night. Somehow it seems their mutation causes them to be sensitive to the sunlight. Those that didn't mutate just traveled around but now new mutated animals were killing them in large numbers.
And not only them.
Nature kicked humans behind and now they were no more on top level of food chain.
Luckily most of those weapons that could harm these creatures were usless, so even leaders of various countries were looking for answers.
And world will soon turn backwards. The only way to kill mutated animal is using teeth of mutated animal.
Making long spears out of teeth to kill crazed animal was one of the answers. Making bullets or mines out of it would be waste as they wouldn't be able to reuse it.
Everyone in the Aislin City could make their own ideas and explain how and why.
So older and younger people sat in large numbers together in city center and spoke in groups.
They were really having many good ideas and Emma Thompson chose to pay points to all that could give her some good ideas.
Being bored in postapocalyptic world was impossible. Everyone had their own job they had to do.
...
Two days later other leaders got news.
"She is killing mutated animals for food?"
The president narrowed his eyes as he glanced at the report. The satellite pictures showed clearly that soldiers killed those animals inside Aislin country's 'borders'.
"I don't think she is doing it for food. Mutated meat can't be edible. Especially after radiation. I think she fears that those crazy animals might harm her entrance. After all, they turned nearby town into flat ground. Let her. Tell me about zombies. Is it safe now to travel?" He had similar maps in front of him like Emma Thompson, but neither he or his staff thought that zombies hid. They thought they traveled trough the water to another continent, following the radiation cloud.
"There are still sporadic zombies with amazing strength. The biggest danger now are crazed mutated animals." Near their base was huge snake that could swallow a tank without trouble.
"Then find out how they killed those creatures and get rid of it." He waved his hand and sent them out.
But Emma Thompson just smiled when she got his video call. "We found way to do that. You have to handle it yourself or let us kill it and take the kill. Either the way, I want more land."
"You... you are unreasonable! " He hit his table with hand and yelled. "We shall do it on our own. Never mind!"
''Ok!" Emma Thompson just smiled sweetly at him and turned off the connection.
He was so furious that he really wanted to drop bomb onto her shelter, but he feared that her answer might harm everyone more than that bomb.
This woman was unpredictable.
Very unpredictable.
"Are you ready?" She spoke to a man on the phone. "The satellite will pass you in one hour. I want you all to move to next shelter our helpers prepared for you. That is the only way."
She had no wish to let those people know that she is gathering more people into her town.
"Don't worry. Everyone is ready." They started moving towards Aislin country since the radiation cloud moved away from their continent two weeks ago.
But they knew they had to rush from shelter to shelter at day time. They almost got killed last time they moved.
Luckily those mutated zombies helped erasing their tracks or they would have died until now many times.
Emma Thompson felt strange excitement as those mutated zombies got closer. Is it time she leaves safety of shelter?
But almost like they knew her thoughts, they simultaneously refused.
Danger! It's dangerous! Danger!
Her heart felt warm. These kids...
