Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Suddenly, Ham took several steps back, and the teammates around him also took a few steps back.

Because at this moment, Mike's face was covered with black veins, and his body exuded a strong rancid smell.

Mike was vomiting heavily, and his body was undergoing drastic changes.

"My hand... is... so painful... this feeling... is so wonderful..."

Everyone watched as Mike, who was kneeling on the ground, stood up again. Mike, who was originally 1.8 meters tall, had now grown to 2 meters.

And it continued to grow taller, until it reached a height of nearly three meters, and its body size also expanded several times.

Mike suddenly reached out and hit Ham, who raised his hand to catch it and took a step back.

But Mike's fist was already in Ham's hand.

Ham raised the gun in his right hand and pointed it at Mike's head: "I'm sorry, Mike."

"It doesn't matter……"

boom--

Mike's head was directly blasted to pieces, but Mike's body did not fall and still stood in place.

The next moment, the headless corpse punched Ham in the chest, and Ham was blown away.

However, the moment Ham flew out, he fired again.

Bang bang bang——

The sarcoma on the chest of the headless corpse was instantly shot out, and it eventually fell backwards.

Harm let out a breath and stood up again.

"Captain, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." Ham patted his chest: "He is so powerful."

"Captain, you are more like a monster."

Ham looked into the depths of the passage and saw that Chen Zhao had disappeared.

"Let's go. If we meet that person again, he will be an enemy." Ham finally made up his mind.

Now, no matter how they repair their relationship, it is no longer possible to turn enemies into friends.

They will only be enemies.

The team walked forward for a while, and finally it was no longer a straight passage.

This is an underground garden built with unknown materials. The interior ceiling of this garden is spherical, and the whole is composed of pieces of reflective panels.

At the top of the garden is a high-heat light source system that simulates the spectrum and brightness of sunlight.

The strong light is then reflected to the plants below through reflectors.

There is also an automated spraying system that automatically sprays for a few moments every few minutes.

The garden is filled with a large number of delicate purple flowers.

Most purple flowers have a fistful of laughter and bloom brilliantly.

No one could recognize the species of these flowers.

Everyone walked cautiously along the aisles of the garden, even though the place was full of vitality and lush greenery.

But no one dares to be careless.

They know very well that the more beautiful you are, the more dangerous you are.

"Captain...look over there..."

One of the team members pointed not far away, where a rotten arm was exposed in the soil under a purple flower.

The raised part under the soil looks like the shape of a human.

The main stem of the purple flower is rooted in the human form.

Several team members covered their mouths and retched, and their stomachs couldn't help but churn.

"These purple flowers use human corpses as nutrients." Ham's face was grim.

"That's right." At this moment, a sudden voice came.

Everyone looked up and found a person standing on the upper level of the edge wall.

That man was wearing white work clothes and he should be the experimenter here, or he might be the mastermind behind it.

"Who are you?"

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Dai Pule, the person in charge here."

"Captain, Deppler, a Latino, is now sixty-eight years old and an expert in biogenetics. He was arrested thirty years ago for conducting prohibited experiments and stealing corpses, and served twenty-one years in prison," Denzel said. .

"Do you know him?" Ham asked in surprise.

"I was once responsible for hunting him down, but that mission ended in failure. I was just a new recruit that year," Denzel said.

"Did he do anything else after he was released from prison?"

"Old problems, dangerous banned experiments, body theft, murder, and terrorist attacks, massacres to be precise. He set up a laboratory in a small town on the US-Mexico border and released toxic gases in the town, causing More than twenty people were infected with the deadly virus and died, and then during the hunt, twelve more soldiers were killed before disappearing without a trace."

"I'm glad someone still knows me." Dai Pule said loudly.

"He doesn't look like he's sixty-eight... He looks like he's forty at most."

"He's younger than he was a few years ago," Denzel said.

Everyone looked confused, and to be honest, they didn't really believe it.

The man standing high up there is really sixty-eight years old.

Deppler wore glasses, had some unshaved stubble on his face, and had thick hair.

Although he was only wearing a white coat, he still looked stunning.

It's hard to imagine that he could be an evil scientist with many crimes.

"I am indeed Deppule, thanks to my years of research, and now that my research has become perfect, you will be fortunate enough to be the first batch of beneficiaries." Deppule said with a smile.

At this moment, Ham suddenly raised his gun and fired at Deppler, who was dozens of meters away.

boom--

A slimy tentacle stretched out from under Deppler's white coat and blocked Ham's bullet.

Everyone swallowed, what is that?

I saw the end of the tentacle slowly opening, like a petal-like mouthpart.

Then the mouthpiece spat out, and the bullet shot back towards Ham with a whirring sound.

Hamm's cheek was lacerated by his own bullet.

More tentacles slowly extended from Deppule's back.

"Have you seen that in the future, humans will have many more tentacles, so that they can do more work and live more conveniently? They have stronger cell structures. The lifting force of one tentacle can reach three tons, and the maximum stretch is The length can reach five meters. In the past, work that could only be done by machines can now be done with tentacles. Moreover, they are directly connected to human sensory nerves, and their reaction speed is faster than that of hands and feet. Even bullets can be blocked. This is the inevitable process of human evolution."

Although everyone was shocked, their consciousness was still relatively clear and they would not be fooled by Dai Pule's words.

"Evolution? Do you call this evolution?" Ham sneered.

This time he put the pistol away and instead pulled an automatic rifle from his back.

"You can block pistol bullets, but I wonder if you can block automatic rifle bullets?"

Deppler looked at a group of people pointing machine guns at him, and a smile appeared on his face: "Don't worry, it's not me you need to face now. There are still many failures in my garden. They are The enemy you need to face first.”

After saying that, Deppler turned around and entered the passage, which was blocked by the reflector again.

At this moment, a corpse stood up unsteadily in the garden.

"Captain...is this a biohazard?"
