After that, the engineer soldier took out a high-temperature cutter and cut a hole with a diameter of 50 centimeters on the metal door.
“ok！ You can come over now. "The soldier gestured at Ham and the others.
Everyone carefully groped their way through the metal door. Inside was a long and narrow passage. There were many circular holes on the walls on both sides of the passage. It looked like the drainage holes of a sewer. There were at least a hundred circular holes on both sides of the passage.
Hamm gave another tactical command, and there were people on guard everywhere.
Ham glanced at Chen Zhao in the end. Chen Zhao kept his hands in his pockets, looking like he was taking a leisurely stroll.
"Mr. Chen, we're already inside the enemy's building. Shouldn't you be on guard?"
"I have my own plans. You don't have to worry."
Ham's expression didn't change, but he had already sentenced Chen Zhao to death in his mind.
Suddenly, a crashing sound came from the circular tunnel.
The circular tunnel was like a microphone. It could gather sound.
Therefore, everyone heard it very clearly.
Ham shone a searchlight into the tunnel.
It seemed to be a black wave.
But when he looked closer, the wave seemed to be solid.
Squeak, squeak, squeak —
The closer they got, the more obvious the sound became.
That black wave wasn't liquid at all. It was simply countless rats.
"Let's go, let's go!" Hamm's face turned pale with fright as he quickly ordered.
At the same time, he threw a grenade into the tunnel.
Everyone ran forward desperately. There was a loud sound behind them and an explosion shot out from the tunnel.
There were also some roasted rats.
But one grenade clearly couldn't kill all the rats.
Soon, the rats in the tunnel surged out like a tide.
"Denzel, switch to a flamethrower. You take the rear," Ham ordered.
Without any hesitation, Denzel switched his weapon as he ran. In ten seconds, he finished switching. Then, he stopped and turned.
Whoosh —
The flamethrower was very effective against rats.
It was like one man holding the pass against ten thousand enemies.
Even if the rats charged through the flames, they would turn into fire rats. After a few more steps, there was no sound.
Denzel fired the flamethrower and retreated.
The rats weren't stupid. At least, they were much smarter than regular rats.
They no longer charged blindly into the sea of fire. Instead, they circled around the flames and broke through from the walls or ceilings where the temperature was lower.
It did not take long for Denzel to become too busy. Rats were trying to break out of the encirclement from the left, right and the ceiling.
The rats pounced on Denzel's body. In the beginning, there were only one or two rats.
They did not even tear through Denzel's combat uniform. Yet, they were filled with a wild aura.
When Denzel swatted the rats off his body, more of them would jump on him.
"Damn bastard."
Denzel had been pinching the mouse. He noticed that there was a spore on the mouse's body.
But the old man didn't have time to think. His neck was bitten.
Denzel was in so much pain that he almost dropped the flamethrower.
By then, half of Denzel's body had been covered by the rats. The rats were biting and tearing at Denzel furiously.
Denzel took two steps forward. However, his body felt so heavy that he could not even stand steadily.
At this time, even more rats were pouncing on him.
Rumble —
With a loud bang, the huge impact and the leaking fuel ignited the tunnel.
The rats' path forward was completely blocked.
Hamm's face was green. They had just started and he had already lost a subordinate.
A few rats passed through the flames and continued charging at the group.
Chen Zhao picked up a rat.
Although it had been caught, it was still as ferocious as before.
Chen Zhao observed the rat.
It was larger than a regular rat and there was a spore in its abdomen.
Chen Zhao was familiar with these spores.
"Is this what we're dealing with?" Hamm stomped on a rat, disgust written all over his face.
"This is just the appetizer," Chen Zhao said calmly. At the same time, he removed the spores on the rat.
He picked up the spores with his fingertip. "These spores will parasitize most creatures, including humans. I hope you won't be parasitized by them. They will directly invade the host's brain and turn your body into a monster."
The spores wriggled on Chen Zhao's fingertip. Thin tentacles grew out of the spores, as if they wanted to drill into Chen Zhao's skin and root in.
Everyone felt their scalps go numb.
"If you encounter a large parasitic host, if you can't completely destroy the body of the parasitic host, you can directly attack the spores. Destroying the spores is equivalent to directly killing them. Of course, some monsters have more than one parasitic spores on their bodies, maybe more, and the spores will hide in some hidden places."
Hamm stared at Chen Zhao. "Mr. Chen, you look very familiar."
"Of course. I've encountered this before."
"Are there any techniques to deal with these monsters?"
"There are no other techniques. The only thing you can rely on is powerful firepower." Chen Zhao shrugged. "Also, if you encounter some dust-filled areas, don't go in. These spores can only survive in a type of dust with paralyzing toxins before they have a host."
"We encountered them? Mr. Chen, do you want to separate from us? "Hamm stared at Chen Zhao.
Chen Zhao glanced at Hamm and then at the soldiers behind him.
"From the moment we entered here, at least one of you has pointed a gun at me whether we walk or run, so I think it's better for us to split up. Otherwise, we might have to fight before the mission is completed. Am I right, Mr. Major?"
Hamm's eyes sparkled. Chen Zhao seemed to be very experienced in dealing with the monsters here.
The current situation was unclear, so Chen Zhao following the team was undoubtedly the best choice.
However, they were like fire and water and knew each other very well.
Hamm already regretted his rash decision earlier. Now, the two sides were like fire and water.
Chen Zhao's words made their relationship even clearer.
There was no need to hide anymore.
Just then, a soldier suddenly raised his light machine gun and pointed at Chen Zhao.
"If you want to leave, leave your life behind!" The soldier clearly hated Chen Zhao to the max.
Hamm raised an eyebrow. He didn't think that his subordinate would attack without his orders.
Attacking now was undoubtedly the most unwise choice.
But he couldn't stop his subordinate from taking revenge.
Suddenly, Chen Zhao flicked his finger. The spores on his finger shot into the soldier's mouth.
Cough, cough —
The soldier clutched his neck and coughed violently.
"The spores are very fast. He'll mutate soon. Good luck." Chen Zhao turned around and left calmly.
"Mike, how are you?" Hamm hurriedly helped Mike up.
"I feel terrible. There's something in my stomach …" Mike tore at his clothes.
