Evolution begins with Resident Evil.

Everyone has a decent amount of ammunition and can continue the mission.

"We are trying our luck everywhere and it feels like the efficiency is still a bit low. Do you have any good ideas?" Chris asked after confirming that the ammunition support continued the operation.

Xue Rui raised her hand and said, "Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."

"You tell me first."

"Generally speaking, if a small town like this wants to announce something at the city hall or issue an earthquake warning, it will be publicized through the town radio, right?"

Although Xue Rui didn't tell the whole plan, others had already reacted.

"You want to use the radio to gather the survivors? Is this too dangerous for the survivors?" Chris asked.

Sherry said: "But it's better than us running around like headless flies, and we can make the broadcast only broadcast in a certain part of the town, so that we can attract a large number of zombies away."

"These zombies are different from those we have encountered before. They are not as sensitive to sounds as imagined."

Chris still has doubts. He hopes to formulate a perfect plan, preferably to ensure that no accidents occur.

"But it always attracts a lot of zombies."

Xue Rui also knew this, but there was no perfect plan in the world, and she had tried her best to consider the safety of the survivors.

Steve raised his hand and said: "I remember that the island's radio room is also in the city hall. Anyway, the communication has not been interrupted. We can let the survivors contact us directly!"

"Not bad, boy." Carlos praised.

Chris nodded: "Just do as you say, let's continue setting off."

The subsequent rescue operation on Smoke Island went very smoothly. After Chris and the others implemented their plan, they once again successfully rescued a family of three.

The family was playing the board game DND in the basement at the time, and happened to escape disaster.

On the other hand, the information that Chris conveyed back also played a big role in providing research direction for the Lighthouse Country's Institute of Biochemical Virology.

Just like a key, after identifying the research direction, subsequent research will fall into place, and even a drug research project for the treatment of depression and other emotional-related mental illnesses has been proposed.

Although no one collected the black smoke, microscopic observation of the black body fluid flowing out of the infected person revealed the presence of an unknown fungus in the body fluid.

Researchers then performed an autopsy on the captured infected person and found that the brain was infected by fungus, and black-green mold spots and black hyphae appeared on the brain epidermis.

And strangely enough, the infected person's blood has essentially been replaced by this black fluid that contains a lot of fungus.

This does not affect the operation of various systems of the human body at all. In a sense, it even enhances physical fitness. The cardiopulmonary and digestive functions are much stronger than those of ordinary people.

Based on the condition of the brain, the researchers decided to try to perform in vivo surgery on living infected people.

Although Chris and the others mentioned that these zombies may still have pain sensation and individual consciousness, the researchers also conducted anesthesia tests in a humanitarian spirit.

However, the anesthesia that can give general anesthesia to an elephant was not able to anesthetize the infected person on the operating table. After the anesthesia was administered, it was even observed that the elephant's body became visibly thinner.

The operation took more than ten hours. The researchers carefully scraped off the hyphae on the brain's surface. However, in order to ensure that the brain was not damaged, they did not clean it too clean. They mainly wanted to test the effect.

As a result, the condition of the infected did not improve, but there were no deaths either.

The research manager responsible for growing an unknown fungus in a petri dish observed that the fungus developed rapidly, partly due to its good appetite.

This would explain why the man who devoted his life to science in the report Chris uploaded felt increasingly hungry.

But that's not the most important thing.

The most important thing is that the research director also discovered that these black fungi secrete a black liquid, and proposed that this secreted substance is the culprit that affects the human brain.

Anyway, there was already an infected person lying on the operating table, and these researchers decided to make the best use of it and inject the secreted black liquid into his body.

The result is that the infected person dies, with unknown strains of fungus growing on the emaciated body and spraying black smoke.

Based on this phenomenon, the project manager believed that there may be a large number of fungal strains under the smoke island, and sent a request for assistance in research to the military.

As soon as the local military leader heard about the existence of such a thing, he immediately contacted Morgan and asked him to be responsible for sending people to the center of Smoke Island.

"Aren't B.S.A.A. and G.I.M.Z. on Smoke Island? Have they checked the situation there?"

Morgan was worried about being intercepted by his competitors, so he thought about asking his friends to order B.S.A.A. to withdraw from Smoke Island.

"They did go to the center of the island where black smoke was coming out, but they didn't have the equipment, so they didn't go down to check the situation and then reported it to us."

The military leader looked at his watch and continued: "Didn't you mention before that you wanted to build the name of F.B.C. through this battle? So I ordered them to withdraw. Looking at the time, they are almost back. "

This was exactly what he wanted, and he didn't have to say it himself to avoid saying that he deliberately suppressed his opponent and competed for credit.

"Thanks, I'll treat you to dinner when you have time."

"You're welcome, your veterans resettlement plan has helped us a lot." The military leader replied with a smile.

Although it did not completely solve the problem of veterans in the Lighthouse Country, Morgan's plan still alleviated the pressure on the military and social conflicts.

With this relationship, Morgan has such a high prestige among the traditional military forces of the Lighthouse Country.

Otherwise, on the day when the F.B.C. established the branches of the navy, land and air force, the lighthouse country's military would have eliminated them.

Of course, the F.B.C. also takes care of the mood of the lighthouse country's military, so it sets the F.B.C.'s headquarters at the NATO headquarters in Europe.

After the two exchanged some polite words, Morgan hung up the phone and said to the returning assistant Field: "Send out the berets and ask them to explore the source of Smoke Island, and tell them to be fully prepared."

The "Berets" are Morgan's most elite force. They are composed of some Vietnam War veterans as the backbone of officers, coupled with retired special forces in their prime.

Field was ordered to leave the room to make arrangements.

The "Beret" troops were in position very quickly. With the support of Morgan, while they were in position, all the equipment and weapons they needed were ready and waiting for people to arrive.

There are three teams with twelve people in total. They are one of the squadrons of the "Beret" force, and not all of them were sent.

From Morgan's point of view, they just went for reconnaissance and investigation and brought back some things that the institute needed.

Those zombies didn't seem to have any special abilities. Other members of the "Beret" force also had other tasks. Most of them went to a place called Harlan City to perform tasks, so Morgan made such an arrangement.

The twelve people set off in two helicopters and quickly reached their destination.

However, they did not enter directly from the central cave, but from the edge of the large crack that spanned the entire mountain.

After nailing nails on the cliff, everyone entered the mountain one by one.

The environment below was pitch black. Everyone was carrying a complete set of breathing and circulation equipment as well as night vision goggles. The M4 assault rifles in their hands were equipped with various tactical tools.

Two of the soldiers even carried a flamethrower on their backs as a weapon.

The floor and walls inside seemed to be covered with furry "carpets" filled with fungal hyphae, like a fungus stall.

Contrary to expectations, they thought they would see mushrooms all over the ground.

When your feet step on it, it will make a crisp snapping sound.

Stand firm and count the number of people. Everyone is in the same passage. For the time being, you only need to be vigilant in front and behind.

"A1, the thermal sensor shows that there is no other heat source except us." One of the team members reported.

A1 is the codename of the captain of Team A, and his subordinates' codenames are A2 to A4.

The same is true for Team B and Team C, but Team C does not have C4, only the code name C5.

There is no distinction between a and beta, which is also a characteristic of Morgan's team.

"B3 has collected the samples here." B3 put away the test tube and reported.

"Let's go ahead." Morgan looked at the screen in front of him. This was the real-time monitor of the "Beret" squadron, allowing him to convey orders in a timely manner.

Morgan was also a soldier before, so naturally he did not engage in remote micro-management. He was more interested in controlling the direction of the team.

In order to ensure smooth signals, they will also install signal relay stations in the middle of the road.

"Copy that." A1 answered and led the team forward.

The further they walked in, the turbid the air became, and through the night vision goggles, they could still see floating black fungi.

There was a snap, and the leader A1 stepped on a pool of liquid, which was the black secretion of fungus.

At the same time, there are strains growing on the surrounding walls and ground. It seems that the unknown fungus is developing better here.

But the strange thing is that they did not see any animal bones, and there was no sunlight here before the earthquake. So what do these fungi rely on to feed themselves? .

"Commander, are these fungi enough?" Their primary purpose is to collect the fungi here to confirm whether the fungi infecting the body are of the same type, and whether they are different in the natural environment.

"After collecting them, we will go to the source center to confirm the situation. If there is nothing special or different, we will evacuate directly there."

In order to support them, Morgan built a small base at Chris's relatively flat evacuation point to facilitate support and evacuation at any time.

The further you go, the fewer the fungal strains become, and the fungus stands look more like tree roots entangled with spider webs.

Just when they passed through a long and narrow passage and could only choose to move in a long snake formation, the C5 team member who was walking at the end of the team and responsible for guarding the rear was sneak attacked from the side by a strange creature.

It turned out that there was nothing behind the wall, but it was covered by a fungus stall, so I couldn't find it.

C5's reaction speed was already very fast, but the mysterious creature was too close to him, and the location of the attack was not within his warning range, so he only had time to turn around and point his gun at the enemy before he was dragged away directly.

The gunfire rang out but soon stopped, followed by his screams from the entrance of the cave.

Although others did not see the true face of the attacker, Morgan could see it clearly.

It was a creature that looked like a werewolf, much larger than an adult white male. The color of its skin could not be seen due to the camera, but he saw hyphae and bacterial strains growing on its body.

Morgan immediately took a screenshot of the picture and sent it to the research institute to ask them to confirm whether the monster was transformed by those infected.

If it is true that the infected person mutated, Poland's cleanup plan must start as soon as possible. If necessary, weapons like the one that destroyed Raccoon City may have to be used.

"You guys just keep going...C5 is hopeless."

Although the camera couldn't see the C5 itself, Morgan could hear the C5's shouts coming to an abrupt end.

Morgan gritted his teeth, losing an elite soldier who had spent a lot of money in one encounter made him feel very hurt.

"Damn it!" the captain of Team C vented.

After this incident, the "Berets" became more cautious, especially on the walls on both sides, fearing that monsters might appear again at some point.

They didn't have the appropriate props to explore the path to see if there were any holes, so they had to use this stupid method.

What they don't know is that the caves in these walls are actually warning posts. Those mysterious monsters already know that intruders are coming.

Let’s call these monsters “bacteria beasts” for now.

There were no other emergencies along the way, and they arrived at a hall-like place smoothly. There was a crack above the hall, and the night sky above could be seen. In addition, there were many tunnels of different sizes on the surrounding walls.

"A3, does the heat sensor respond?" A1 asked.

"No response." A3 replied.

The body temperature of those infected by fungi is higher than that of normal people, so they bring thermal sensing devices in to help find those enemies.

"Commander, do you want to continue moving forward? How many monsters are there that have captured Jino?"

They were in the dark, and although they had night vision goggles, they couldn't see as clearly as their own eyes. The enemy seemed to blend into the environment, which made them very uncomfortable.

They were elites, but they also cherished their lives. For Morgan, it cost him a lot of money and connections to set up this army, and they were not used as cannon fodder.

"Forget it, is there space above you?" Morgan asked.

A1 replied: "Yes, and there is enough space."

"Okay. Stay where you are and I'll send a helicopter over."

"receive."

The evacuation helicopter was very close, and there was no bunker here, so these "berets" formed their formation directly on the spot to ensure that someone was watching in every direction.

Soon, there was movement in the tunnels of different sizes. Everyone stood ready and fired continuously at the fungus beasts that rushed out.

I knocked down a few, but failed to kill them all. I saw those fungus beasts struggling to get up, limping and continuing to charge.

"Flame spray!" the team leader immediately ordered.

Two soldiers holding flamethrowers walked out of the queue on the left and right, pressed the launch button, and then swung left and right, spitting tongues of fire in front of their own team, creating a wall of fire in an attempt to block the enemy.

At this moment, the fungus beasts that had been lurking above the "berets" opened their completely dark eyes, fell from the sky, and pounced on the delicacies that had broken into their lairs.
