Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Chapter 1657: Alternative evolution

The monster was approaching the commando.

Chen Yan stood on the roof of a small three-story building.

In fact, he was no more than twenty meters away from the commando.

But the fog blocked their sight.

So that even if you are close at hand, it becomes impossible.

Some monster found Chen Ye, but all were kicked away by Chen Ye.

These monsters fought against each other, and they did not gather to besiege Chen Chen.

Finally, the first victims of the commando appeared.

Not the infected Merrick.

But another player.

Two live corpses rushed into the formation, disrupting the commando deployment.

Chen Ye found that the attack power of these living bodies was actually average.

Of course, the so-called general is not compared with Chen Yi.

But compared with these American soldiers.

Their only advantage is speed.

And still with this thick fog.

Without this heavy fog.

The soldiers of the US imperialists have long cleaned them up.

But it was this fog that made US imperial soldiers fail to do so.

Just then, Merrick finally launched.

At this time he was no longer himself.

The magic spores penetrated his brain, and he is now a living corpse.

Just like zombie spores in the Amazon rainforest.

But he didn't become a brainless creature directly.

He has human wisdom.

In a situation that no one expected.

Merrick grabbed a former comrade.

Then dragged into the mist.

The teammate dragged into the mist by Merrick was bitten by him.

Chen Ye looked at all this without any intention of intervening.

Merrick became stronger after eating the man.

The magic spores have completely changed him.

The dead body no longer has a digestive system.

They directly convert food into energy.

This has the advantage that in a short period of time, physical fitness can reach an incredible level.

But the disadvantages are also obvious, just like a person taking a stimulant, even if sitting still, it is very difficult.

And once energy is consumed to a certain extent, they will feel more hungry.

They need more food to fill the energy expended.

If there is enough food here, these living corpses will go out together.

But there are no living things except living corpses.

They can only eat the same kind.

But now, the commando is here.

Let the living bodies here focus on the commando.

Chen Ye also discovered one thing.

Live corpses with more parasitic spores on them.

They are not more powerful than their peers, but they are more dynamic.

That is, they consume and control physical energy more precisely.

After Merrick devoured the corpse of a former comrade-in-arms, it took off its isolation suit.

Large area of ​​contact with the mist in the air, and let the magic spores in the mist parasite on it.

These magic spores cannot be directly attached to the skin, but need to enter the blood or mouth to parasitize Merrick.

And this is not an ordinary parasite, but the first magic spore.

The host is like a house, and the magic spore is the relationship between the owner and the tenant.

Not as many tenants as the landlord wants to rent.

They need to swallow more people or their kind, get their flesh and blood, and then turn their flesh and blood into their own, so that more magic spores can parasitize them.

Merrick didn't go directly to attack the commando.

It stared at another of its kind, a relatively weak living body.

Without too much effort, Merrick made it a part of himself.

Merrick's body began to mutate.

An arm came up on its left shoulder.

But Merrick's changes don't stop there.

It's more of a change than an extra arm.

It's more from invisible changes inside the body.

Its body structure becomes more reasonable.

In a way, it is also evolving.

But where is evolution so easy.

Chen Yan has experienced several evolutions.

However, Chen Ye's body evolved from the golden key.

And every time you need to consume a lot of energy.

However, the energy required for the evolution of living corpses is devoured.

This evolution is very unstable.

If Chen Ye's evolutionary process was to rise from a high-rise building, each time he raised a little height, but the victory is stable.

Then the evolution of living corpses is in the accumulation of wood, which can rise very high in a short time, but it is easy to collapse.

This is the difference between the two.

In fact, this metaphor is inappropriate.

The process of human evolution was originally a process of rising tall buildings.

The foundation is already there, and all evolution of Chen Yi is based on this foundation.

The evolution of living corpses is not the same. This foundation is eliminated, and then, come, let's build the blocks.

In fact, the evolution of mankind is traceable. The first is the evolution of appearance.

Human beings have been evolving in a direction that is taller and more in line with the environmental somatosensory.

Why humans like beauty is actually determined by genes.

Set aside individual issues of aesthetic differences.

In the human subconscious mind, beauty is more advanced.

Therefore, the direction of human evolution will be more in line with human aesthetics.

As long as the environmental somatosensory does not change dramatically.

Then the general direction of human evolution will not change.

It will not happen that the more evolved the more ugly.

Of course, this ugliness is not the ugliness of the face, but the distortion of the body shape.

In fact, this aesthetic does not only happen to people.

Many species in the world have actually evolved in this direction.

Humans also tend to like those lovely and beautiful animals.

There are also aesthetic trends among the same species.

What happened on this artificial island should be made by a lunatic or lunatic organization.

It may even be the government.

Don't think this is impossible. Some small towns on the border of the US emperor disappeared somehow.

Similar secrets are kept in the Paranormal Society.

The commando lost several more in a row.

Merrick is even more cunning.

It has been secretly following the commando.

Whether the commando team members were killed or the living bodies were destroyed.

It devours the body.

The commander of the commando Lusenk felt that the risk of operating in open space was too great.

He decided to enter the largest building of the artificial island, namely the supermarket.

The supermarket is considered a closed space, and the fog is not too heavy.

But in Chen Yi's opinion, this was a very wrong decision.

In this world, if there is any artificial maze, it is undoubtedly a supermarket.

Large supermarkets will make the terrain as complicated as possible.

Just to keep guests from going out.

Now the commando has entered a huge maze.
