Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

"Hi, Mr. Chen." Paul was the first to step forward and hug Chen Zhao: "It's great to see that you are okay. I made a big mistake that day."

Chen Zhaopi was smiling, just kidding, you gave me a parachute bag that can't be opened, do I still want to smile at you?

Chen Zhao couldn't do this anyway, at least Chen Zhao couldn't be sure whether the other party had any malicious intent.

In comparison, Chen Zhao is more looking forward to hugging Sonnenfeld.

"Paul, why don't you introduce this lady to me?"

"This is my lieutenant, Demi Sonnenfeld."

Chen Zhao stepped forward and wanted to shake hands, but Demi refused directly.

When she took her father home that day, she kept asking her father what was going on between Chen Zhao and him.

But her father never told him. She always thought that Chen Zhao was bullying her father.

Chen Zhao withdrew his hand in embarrassment and looked at Paul: "Paul, I want to know."

Paul glanced at Demi and then said: "Let's go to the camp."

Entering the camp, there were several people in the camp, all of whom were soldiers.

"Mr. Chen, I received news from my superiors earlier that an expert would come today. I didn't expect you to be the expert."

"Let's keep the story short, I want to know the specific situation here."

Paul could feel the gap between Chen Zhao and him.

This is understandable, after all, I almost killed him that day.

"About a kilometer west of the camp, we found an underground building complex. This building complex was very large. Then we sent two groups of exploration teams into it, especially the second team, which was fully armed. They were equipped with the most advanced war weapons, but in the end only one person came out alive, but he was also seriously injured and died soon after."

"So have you confirmed what kind of creatures are there?"

"Not yet, we haven't found any creatures."

"Then what do you know about the situation inside?"

"No."

"Then what is the purpose of your military's exploration of this underground complex?"

"No." Paul gave another negative answer.

Chen Zhao sneered in his heart. He just explored the underground buildings without any purpose. Do you think I'm stupid?

"So you called me here, what problem do you want me to help you solve?"

"The problem we want Mr. Chen to help us solve is how to get our people in and out safely."

"Sir, I think this is a waste of time. He can't solve anything at all." Demi said dissatisfied.

Everyone in the camp looked at Chen Zhao, who had one leg crossed.

"I don't care what you think of me. My purpose of coming here will not change. I can explore the underground complex for you, but you need to pay a sufficient price."

"What price?" Paul frowned.

He didn't know how his superiors found Chen Zhao, and he didn't know how Chen Zhao cooperated with his superiors.

"You gave me half a million dollars a day to serve as a consultant. Of course, it's only for one day." Chen Zhao said.

Everyone gasped, half a million dollars a day?

Is this an expert or a celebrity?

"My team and I specialize in dealing with some extraordinary creatures, so in this regard, we are more professional than your military."

"Mr. Chen, have you ever encountered such a paranormal creature?"

Chen Zhao took out his mobile phone, opened the photo and showed it to Paul.

In the photo, the mother body is in the second stage of mutation. It has not completely separated from the human form and is in the process of emerging from the skin.

Chen Zhao put one hand on his mother's body and took a photo.

"This is an extraordinary creature that our team solved." Chen Zhao said, "Can this be proven?"

Paul glanced at it, and then gave it a distinguishing look to several others.

Finally, when it was in Demi's hands, a look of disdain appeared on Demi's face: "This is fake, it's obviously a Hollywood model prop, or the photo itself is Photoshopped."

With just one photo, it is indeed difficult for people to believe whether it is real or fake.

"If it's true, why isn't there a video?" Demi asked.

"For people who are hostile to me, any evidence I bring will be regarded as false. And if I make a video, you will also say it was made by computer special effects." Chen Zhao said calmly.

Paul could tell that Chen Zhao and Demi had a feud, otherwise Demi wouldn't have targeted her like this.

"If I want your team to capture a living creature from this underground complex, how much will it cost?"

"Two million dollars."

"What payment methods do you accept?"

"Cash...yes, two million dollars after tax."

"Okay, when will your team arrive?"

"No need for a team." Chen Zhao said, "Take me to the entrance."

"Mr. Chen, this is no joke." Paul said seriously: "The two groups of people before and after us all died inside."

"I'm not kidding." Chen Zhao said, "You just need to prepare two million dollars for me."

"Sir, if he wants to die, why stop him?"

Paul looked at Chen Zhao with twinkling eyes: "Mr. Chen, are you serious?"

"I don't think it's any more difficult than surviving without a parachute at 10,000 meters."

Everyone couldn't help but look at Chen Zhao. Survived without a parachute at an altitude of 10,000 meters?

Can it really be done?

Of course, it's not entirely impossible.

If there is a large enough net that can continuously spread the impact of falling, then it can survive.

Someone once attempted to fall without a parachute from an altitude of 7,600 meters, and finally landed on a net and survived. (This is a real case. If you are interested, you can find this video)

"Okay, since Mr. Chen thinks he can do it, then I accept this employment." Paul said: "Mr. Chen, what equipment do you need?"

"A net."

Soon, Paul prepared a package for Chen Zhao, put it in a backpack and gave it to Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao looked at the entrance of the deep passage, and gusts of dark wind blew out from inside.

Even just standing at the entrance, the soldiers around Paul were on full alert, their guns pointed at the darkness of the entrance, as if they were afraid that some monster would rush out of the passage.

"Mr. Chen, are you sure you want to go in alone? And you only bring a net."

At this moment, there was a roar like a wild beast coming from inside, but when it was heard outside, it turned into a roar.

Everyone's expressions changed, and Paul said again: "Mr. Chen, the things inside often make this sound."

Chen Zhao looked at the darkness, and there was a vague shadow of a beast passing by, but because the distance was too far, Chen Zhao couldn't see it clearly.

"Okay, I'm leaving."

I have been seriously sleep deprived recently. I slept from 3 o'clock last night to 3 o'clock today.
