Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

The only advantage the Commandos have now is their thermal weapons.

Guns and ammunition are still extremely lethal in this world.

Not even Chen Zhao dared to say that he was immune to all thermal weapons.

However, the thermal weapons they are equipped with require a wide field of vision to be most effective.

Outside the building, although their thermal weapons were limited by the fog, they were unable to capture the enemy in the first place.

However, in the maze terrain, there are too many obstacles, making it more difficult for their thermal weapons to be effective.

Chen Zhao could see this problem, and Lusenke could certainly see this problem as well.

But if people stay in the fog for a long time, they will have psychological problems.

Even Lusenko felt physically and mentally depressed.

He didn't know if he would continue to stay outside in the fog.

Will the commandos themselves collapse first.

So he had to choose to enter the building.

The power supply to this supermarket still continues, and the lights are brightly lit throughout the supermarket.

But there was not a single person in sight.

This made everyone breathe a long sigh of relief.

It was as if all the pressure in my heart was released at this moment.

Chen Zhao also entered the supermarket.

Chen Zhao discovered that there were no magic spores here.

It shouldn’t be, even though the supermarket is a closed space.

But it is not absolutely closed in the true sense.

There can't be any magic spores at all, right?

But after thinking about it, Chen Zhao understood what was going on.

Magic spores rely on the spread of mist to exist.

But all large supermarkets like this have air purifiers.

Those high-power air purifiers directly clean up the fog and magic spores in the air.

"Captain, the air quality is good."

"Don't take off all the isolation suits yet. I'll take them off first. The timer will start. If I have any adverse reactions within ten minutes, I will be injected with a neutralizing agent immediately." Lusenko said.

Lusenko still chose to be cautious.

However, after ten minutes, Lusenko was finally able to confirm that there were no gases harmful to the human body in the air.

"Okay, everyone, take off your isolation suits and breathe some fresh air."

Everyone sounded relaxed.

clatter--

Suddenly, a voice suddenly tensed everyone's newly relaxed spirits.

Everyone's guns were pointed at the source of the sound.

It was a living corpse covered in pustules.

But the living corpse at this time was not the flesh and blood body they had seen before.

The body of this living corpse is full of metallic luster.

"You...Merrick...is that you?"

Everyone looked at Merrick in disbelief.

Merrick's face could still be barely made out.

Not only Merrick's entire body has been infected with magical spores.

And there are three more pairs of arms behind his back.

Everyone was a little surprised.

Unexpectedly, it just disappeared for a while.

Merrick had become like this.

Bang——

Lusenko held up the Desert Eagle, aimed it at Merrick's head and shot him.

Merrick's head tilted back just slightly.

The bullet lodged itself in the cortex of Merrick's forehead.

As the skin of Merrick's forehead squirmed, the bullet fell to the ground.

Everyone was frightened.

Bang——

Suddenly, there was another loud noise behind him.

Then a giant beast blocked the commando's path.

The giant beast directly knocked open the two rows of shelves on the left and right, looking at the commando members with ferocious eyes.

This looks like a dog.

To be precise, he was a dog when he was alive.

But now it has severed ties with dogs.

It was much larger than Merrick.

It was at least four meters long, and its entire body looked like it had been severely burned, with its skin almost completely falling off.

His whole body was covered in blood and there was a faint smoke.

Sharp bone spurs develop in the joints.

Immediately afterwards, there were continuous loud noises from the right side of the commando.

Rows of shelves were overturned and sent flying.

The commando turned to look.

All I saw was a living corpse similar to that of a mountain gorilla.

You can still vaguely see the shape of the living corpse.

However, the development and evolution of its forelimbs is obviously far greater than that of its hind limbs.

Merrick, Corpse Dogs and Orangutan Monsters formed a triangular position, surrounding the commandos.

The commandos' faces were extremely pale, and they all looked at the three monsters in horror.

Lusenk was also a bit at a loss.

Suddenly, Lusenko saw a figure sitting on a shelf.

Lusenko's eyes narrowed, it was that person! !

Is he a human now or an infected living corpse?

Lusenk isn't sure.

Chen Zhao was sitting on the top of the shelf, crossing his legs and looking at the situation below.

When Chen Zhao caught Lusenk's gaze, he immediately grinned and waved to Lusenk.

"You're not infected?"

After everyone heard Lu Senke's words, they also looked up at Chen Zhao.

"How is that possible? You're not dead?"

"Why are you here?"

"Why do you think I'm dead?" Chen Zhao laughed.

"You are alone and have no equipment. Why can you escape these monsters?"

"Haha..." Chen Zhao smiled. He obviously didn't intend to answer this question.

"Do you still have time to ask me questions now?"

"We don't have much time, do you have any time?"

It has to be said that Lusenko's intentions are very sinister.

He wanted to lure a monster to attack Chen Zhao.

This way they can retreat from the encirclement.

If three monsters surrounded them from three directions.

Their chances of winning are really not high.

But if they can attract a monster to attack Chen Zhao, then their pressure will be greatly reduced.

And after a brief encounter, they discovered it.

These monsters are very, very intelligent.

Even apart from being irrational, their IQ is no less than that of humans.

And the fighting instinct is even greater than that of humans.

Everyone in the commando team is fully armed and they know how to make choices.

and commando hard steel, they may not be able to get benefits.

Even Merrick, who can withstand bullets.

It doesn't mean that it will be unscathed when faced with hot weapons.

After all, it was only the Desert Eagle that attacked it just now.

The automatic rifle in the hands of the commando is much more powerful than the Desert Eagle.

Not to mention there are other thermal weapons.

For example, high-explosive grenades.

Just enough to cause damage to it.

Although it is not fatal, it still poses a great threat.

Sure enough, Merrick turned to look at Chen Zhao.

Merrick is no longer the Merrick he used to be.

But it knew too much about thermal weapons before.

Therefore, I instinctively think that it is not cost-effective to have a head-on conflict with the commandos.

What's more, there are two living corpses that are not weaker than it.

If it is too aggressive and suffers serious damage, if the two monsters seize the opportunity, it will definitely be swallowed clean by them, including bones and flesh.

It would rather be like before, with the snipe and the clam fighting and the fisherman benefiting.

Merrick slowly stepped back.

Lusenko was delighted.

It seems his plan worked.

Sure enough, Merrick chickened out.

The originally perfect encirclement already had holes.
