Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Then the engineering soldier took out a high-temperature cutter and cut a hole fifty centimeters in diameter in the metal door.

"Okay! You can come here." The engineering soldier gestured to Ham and others.

Everyone carefully groped their way into the metal door. Inside was a long and narrow passage. There were many circular holes on the walls on both sides of the passage. They looked like sewer drains. A straight line extended past, with at least hundreds of holes on both sides. A round mouth.

Hamm conducted tactical command again, and everyone was on guard up, down, front, left, and right.

Ham finally glanced at Chen Zhao. Chen Zhao always had his hands in his trouser pockets, looking like he was taking a leisurely stroll.

"Mr. Chen, this is already inside an enemy building. Shouldn't you be alert?"

"I have my own plans, so I don't need you to worry about them."

Ham's face was expressionless, and Chen Zhao was already sentenced to death in his heart.

Suddenly, a crashing sound came from the circular passage next to it.

Because this circular channel has a sound gathering effect like a microphone.

So everyone heard it quite clearly.

Ham took a searchlight and shined it into the passage.

There seems to be a black wave.

But upon closer inspection, the wave seemed solid.

Chi Chi Chi Chi——

The closer you get, the more obvious the sound becomes.

The black wave was nothing but liquid, it was simply countless rats.

"Go, go quickly!!" Ham was shocked and ordered quickly.

At the same time, he also threw a grenade into the circular passage.

Everyone ran forward as hard as they could. There was a loud noise behind them, and explosions erupted from the passage.

There were also some roasted rats.

But one grenade obviously can't kill all the rats.

Soon the rats in the passage poured out like a tide.

"Denzel, switch to the flamethrower and come to the rear." Ham ordered.

Denzel didn't hesitate at all, changing weapons while running. He completed the weapon change in more than ten seconds, and stopped and turned around in an instant.

Wow——

The killing effect of flamethrower on mice is very obvious.

It can be said that one man can block the barrier and ten thousand people cannot open it.

Even if the rat rushes through the flames, it has already turned into a fire rat, and after running a few steps, it becomes silent.

Denzel fired his flamethrower and backed up.

And those mice are not stupid, at least they are much smarter than ordinary mice.

They no longer blindly rush into the sea of ​​​​fire, but bypass the flames and break out from the wall or ceiling at a cooler angle.

After a while, Denzel was overwhelmed. Rats broke out all over the place, including the left and right sides and the ceiling.

These rats pounced on Denzel, just one or two at first.

Even Denzel's field uniform wasn't bitten through, but it was full of wildness.

Denzel slaps the rats off his body, and more rats will pounce on him.

"Damn bastard."

Denzel kept pinching the mouse, and he discovered that there was a spore on the mouse.

But before he could think about it, he was bitten hard on the neck.

Denzel was in so much pain that he almost lost his grip on the flamethrower.

At this time, half of Denzel's body was covered in rats, and these rats bit Denzel crazily.

Denzel took two steps, but his body was so heavy that he couldn't even stand firmly.

By this time, more rats had pounced on him.

Rumble——

Accompanied by a loud noise, a huge impact and leaked fuel ignited the passage.

The rats were completely blocked from moving forward.

Ham's face was ashen, and he had lost one of his men just now.

A few rats passed through the flames and still rushed towards the crowd.

Chen Zhao grabbed a mouse.

Although this rat was caught, it remained ferocious.

Chen Zhao observed the mouse.

It is larger than an ordinary mouse and has a spore in its abdomen.

Chen Zhao is no stranger to this kind of spores.

"Is this what we are going to deal with?" Ham crushed a mouse with disgust written on his face.

"This is just an appetizer." Chen Zhao said calmly while removing the spores from the mouse.

Picking up the spore with his fingertips: "This spore will parasitize most living things, including humans. I hope you will not be parasitized by these spores. They will directly erode the host's brain and mutate your body into monster."

The spores squirmed slightly on Chen Zhao's fingertips, and tiny tentacles stretched out around the spores, as if they were trying to drill through the skin of Chen Zhao's fingers and then take root.

Everyone's scalp felt numb after watching it.

"If you encounter a large parasitic host, if you cannot completely destroy the body of the parasitic host, you can directly attack the spores. Destroying the spores is equivalent to killing them directly. Of course, some monsters have more than one parasitic spores on their bodies. Maybe there are more, and the spores are hiding in some hidden places."

Ham stared at Chen Zhao: "Mr. Chen, you look familiar."

"Of course, I have encountered such scenes."

"So, are there any techniques for dealing with these monsters?"

"There are no other techniques. For you, the only thing you can rely on is strong firepower." Chen Zhao shrugged: "In addition, if you encounter some areas filled with dust and fog, never go in, these spores can only Before there is no host to parasitize, it can only survive in a dust mist containing paralyzing toxins."

"We met? Mr. Chen wants to separate from us?" Ham stared at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao looked at Ham, then turned his attention to the soldiers behind Ham.

"From the moment we entered here, no matter whether we were walking or running, at least one of you pointed a gun at me, so I think it's better for us to act separately. Otherwise, maybe we will have to fight before the mission is completed. , are you right, Mr. Major?"

Ham's eyes flickered, Chen Zhao seemed to be very experienced in dealing with the monsters here.

With the current situation unclear, it is undoubtedly the best choice for Chen Zhao to follow the team.

However, they are both in the same situation and know each other well.

Ham has already regretted his previous reckless decision, which has made the two sides now in a state of conflict.

Chen Zhao's words further clarified their relationship.

There is no need to hide anymore.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly raised his light machine gun and pointed it at Chen Zhao.

"If you want to leave, save your life first!" This soldier obviously hated Chen Zhao to the extreme.

Harm raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that his men would take action without getting his orders.

Taking action now is undoubtedly the most unwise choice.

But he can't stop his men from taking revenge on Chen Zhao now.

Suddenly, Chen Zhao flicked his fingertips, and the spores that had been on his fingers shot into the soldier's mouth.

Ahem——

The soldier covered his neck and coughed violently one after another.

"The speed of spore parasitism is very fast, and it will mutate soon. I wish you good luck." Chen Zhao turned around and left calmly.

"Mike, how are you?" Ham quickly helped Mike up.

"I feel so uncomfortable, there is something in my stomach..." Mike tore at the clothes on his body.
