Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

West suddenly received a message on his cell phone.

A transfer of US$25 million was made to your account 542***.

West was dumbfounded. Where did the money come from?

West opened his bank account and checked.

It's money transferred from the Counter-Terrorism Operations Department.

But what the hell is this 25 million?

Could it be that Leon wanted to use this money to bribe himself?

If it's for yourself, you might as well take the risk and try to persuade Chen Zhao.

At this moment, Chen Zhao's phone rang.

"West, did you receive the money?"

"Um... President, did old man Leon bow his head to you and admit his mistake?"

"yes."

"But why $25 million?"

"Oh, from now on our annual funding will be 20 million US dollars, of which 5 million US dollars will be the maintenance cost of our headquarters."

West was speechless. What Chen Zhao did ended up being wiped out by the Anti-Terrorism Operations Department.

"You call everyone together now and block the entrance to the incident site. If something comes out, kill it. Don't go in hastily. Wait for me to go back."

"President, when will you come back?"

"The day after tomorrow, after the 25th."

"ah?"

"Ah, what? My student will have a swimming competition in Montreal the day after tomorrow. This is my disciple, and I can't be absent." Chen Zhao said matter-of-factly.

West was speechless. Is it really okay to just deal with people like this when they take advantage of others?

Forget it, you are the boss, you have the final say.

"By the way, after completing the last task of the year, the year-end bonuses of our association members will be doubled again."

"The president is wise."

…

At this moment, Paine, Hailis and Eric are trapped in the food storage warehouse.

The only thing they don't have to worry about now is food. The food here is enough for them to last forever.

However, what really makes them despair is that the entire base has been controlled by the monster mother body.

They are now trapped on an isolated island, completely cut off from the outside world.

They didn't know when the warehouse would be breached.

Although the doors of food storage warehouses are strong, they are not indestructible.

"We can't stay any longer," Paine said.

"If we don't stay here, what can we do? Fight out?" Hailis was as cold as ever.

"This is the only way." Paine said: "Judging from the state of the monster matrix, it should be able to continuously infect and assimilate, and then create more monsters. The number of monsters now is only our super anti-terrorist team Logistics personnel, but once the mother body starts to kidnap people, the number of monsters will surge until it reaches saturation, and finally begin to expand outwards in an all-round way. By then, we will completely lose the opportunity. Only now, the monsters can The number has not reached the limit yet, and we still have a glimmer of hope."

"There are six giant monsters, twenty crawlers, and ten faceless monsters outside. Are you sure we are not seeking death when we rush out?" Hailis said coldly.

"how do you know?"

"Although I can't see it, I can feel the vital signs." Hailis said.

Paine felt discouraged and quite helpless.

…

At the same time, the reason why the mother body did not care about the three Paine people hiding in the food storage warehouse at this moment was because it had more important things to do.

That is to take back his own egg body, which is still quite complete.

It requires opening the defense door of the lowest weapons bay.

Woodley had been locked up inside for a day and a night.

He had been in panic all day and night.

The sound outside never stopped.

Monsters are constantly attacking the defensive door.

In the end, this defensive gate failed to block the attacks of these monsters, and the disc-shaped defensive gate collapsed.

The mother body can't get into the weapons warehouse, but the troll's size is just right.

But Woodley had already committed suicide first.

Let him die in the hands of these monsters, he would rather commit suicide.

A giant monster sent the remaining dozen eggs to the mother.

"Mother."

"Good boy." The mother stretched out her hand and stuffed the giant monster into her mouth, and entered its body together with the dozen eggs.

The mother's legs begin to degenerate, and then her arms.

The mother's bloated body fell to the ground, and she made a painful sound from her mouth.

…

"Hey, those monsters retreated." Hailis said.

"Retreat? You mean they all left?"

"No, not leaving, but leaving the door." Hailis said: "Wait, let me use life detection to check."

Haleys closed her eyes and began to use magic.

Not long after, Hailis opened her eyes suddenly.

Eric and Paine originally thought that Hailis would have no other expression.

But at this moment, they actually found fear on Hailis's face.

"Hailis, what did you see?"

"The mother body is evolving, and it has obtained those dozen eggs."

"What about Woodley?"

"Dead." Hailis said: "All the monsters are gathered on the fifth and sixth floors. They are protecting the mother body."

"That means we can go out?"

"We can't leave yet. Everything outside is filled with green liquid left by monsters." Hailis said, "As long as we come into contact with those green liquids, we will be infected and transformed."

"Then you still can't leave?"

"These green liquids contain vitality. They should be some kind of voodoo magic. I can corrupt them." Hailis said, "But it will take a certain amount of time."

"how long it takes?"

"It will take at least two days." Hailis said.

"Two days? If the mother body hatches successfully, we will be dead by then." Eric said: "Before we evolved, the mother body was already so terrifying. If it completes the transformation again, I'm afraid we will be dead. ”

"You can go out now. As long as you are not afraid of becoming one of their kind, I won't stop you." Hailis said.

Eric was scared again, there was nothing he could do, those monsters were too scary.

"What to do now?"

"Open the warehouse door. How can I corrupt these liquids if I don't open it?"

"Now? Open it? Could it be a trap?" Paine and Eric were both a little scared.

"No, I believe in my magic." Hailis said coldly.

Paine and Eric both turned into giant bears, fearing that when they opened the door, a wave of monsters would attack from outside.

Fortunately, their worries were unnecessary, there was no one outside.

But the walls of the walkway in front were all covered with green liquid.

Before those monsters left, they did not forget to disgust them.

Hailisi began to corrupt these green liquids, and Hailisi's magic power was released outward.

The green liquid that came into contact with her magic began to turn black.
