Suddenly, Hamm took a few steps back, and so did his teammates.
Mike's face was covered in black veins and his body gave off a strong rotten smell.
Mike vomited heavily. His body was going through a drastic change.
"My hand … it's so … so painful … this feeling … is too wonderful …"
Everyone watched as Mike, who'd been kneeling on the ground, stood up again. Mike, who'd been 1.8 meters tall before, had now grown to two meters.
Moreover, it continued to grow taller until it was nearly three meters tall, and its body had also expanded by several times.
Mike suddenly smashed his hand at Hamm. Hamm caught it and took a step back.
However, Mike's fist was already in Hamm's hand.
Hamm raised the gun in his right hand and pointed it at Mike's head. "I'm sorry, Mike."
"It's okay …"
Bang!
Mike's head was smashed, but his body didn't fall. He still stood there.
The next moment, the headless body punched Hamm's chest and he was sent flying.
However, the moment Hamm was sent flying, he fired again.
Bang, bang, bang —
The tumor in the headless body's chest was shot and it fell backward.
Hamm exhaled and stood up again.
"Captain, are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Hamm patted his chest. "He's so strong."
"Captain, you're more like a monster."
Hamm looked into the depths of the tunnel. Chen Zhao had already disappeared.
"Let's go. If we meet that person again, he'll be our enemy." Hamm finally made up his mind.
No matter how they tried to fix their relationship now, they couldn't turn enemies into friends anymore.
They would only be enemies.
The team walked forward for a while. Finally, it wasn't a straight path anymore.
This was an underground garden built with unknown materials. The interior ceiling of the garden was spherical, and the whole structure was composed of pieces of reflective panels.
The top of the garden was a high-heat light source system used to simulate the spectrum and brightness of sunlight.
Then, the reflective panels would reflect the strong light onto the plants below.
There was also an automatic spraying system that would spray every few minutes.
There were many purple flowers in the garden. They were tender and beautiful.
Most of them had fists and bloomed brilliantly.
No one could recognize the species of the flowers.
Everyone carefully walked along the path of the garden, even though this place was filled with vitality and lush greenery.
But no one dared to be careless.
They clearly understood that the more beautiful they were, the more dangerous they were.
"Captain … look over there …"
One of the team members pointed at a rotten arm protruding from the soil under a purple flower tree not far away.
The bulge under the soil looked like a person.
And the main stem of the Purple Flower was rooted in the human form.
A few of the team members covered their mouths and retched, their stomachs churning uncontrollably.
"These purple flowers use human corpses as nutrients." Hamm's expression was cold.
"That's right." At this moment, a voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone looked up and saw a person standing on the top of the wall.
That person was wearing a white work uniform. He should be one of the researchers here, or maybe he was the mastermind behind the scenes.
"Who are you?"
"Let me introduce myself. I'm Deppler, the person in charge here."
"Captain, Deppler, Latino, 68 years old this year, a biogeneticist. Thirty years ago, he was arrested for carrying out forbidden experiments and stealing corpses. He served 21 years in prison," Denzel said.
"You know him?" Hamm asked in surprise.
"I was once in charge of chasing after him. However, that mission ended in failure. Back then, I was just a new recruit," Denzel said.
"Did he do anything else after being released from prison?"
"The same old problem. Carrying out dangerous forbidden experiments, stealing corpses, murder and terrorist attacks. More accurately, massacres. He set up a laboratory in a small town near the US-Mexico border and released a poisonous gas into the town, causing over 20 people to die from the deadly virus. In the process of chasing after him, he caused the death of another 12 soldiers. After that, he disappeared without a trace."
"I'm glad there are still people who know me," Deppler said loudly.
"He doesn't look like he's 68 years old … he looks like he's 40 years old at most."
"He looks even younger than a few years ago," Denzel said.
Everyone revealed puzzled looks. Truth be told, they did not believe it either.
The man standing at the top was really 68 years old.
Deppler was wearing glasses. His face had some unshaven stubble and his hair was thick.
Although he was only wearing a white coat, he still looked very elegant.
It was hard to imagine that he was an evil scientist who had committed countless crimes.
"I am indeed Deppler. This is all thanks to my many years of research. Now, my research is approaching perfection. You will be fortunate enough to be the first to benefit," Deppler said with a smile.
At that moment, Hamm suddenly raised his gun and fired at Deppler, who was tens of meters away.
Bang!
A sticky tentacle reached out from under Deppler's white coat and blocked Hamm's bullet.
Everyone swallowed a mouthful of saliva. What was that?
The end of the tentacle slowly opened up, revealing a mouth that looked like a petal.
Next, the mouth spat out and the bullet flew back at Hamm.
Hamm's cheek was cut by his own bullet.
More tentacles slowly extended out from Deppler's back. "Do you see?
"Do you see that? In the future, humans will have many more tentacles. This way, they can carry out more work and live more conveniently. They have stronger cell structures. A tentacle can lift up to three tons, and its maximum length can reach five meters. Work that could only be done by machines in the past can now be done with tentacles. Moreover, they are directly connected to human sensory nerves, and their reaction speed is faster than hands and feet. They can even block bullets. This is the inevitable process of human evolution."
Although everyone was shocked, they were still relatively clear-headed. They would not be bewitched by Deppler's words.
"Evolution? You call this evolution? "Hamm sneered.
This time, he put away his pistol and took out an automatic rifle from behind his back.
"You can block bullets from a pistol. I wonder if you can block bullets from an automatic rifle?"
Deppler looked at the group of people pointing their machine guns at him, and a smile appeared on his face. "Don't worry, I'm not the one you need to face now. There are still many failures in my garden. They are the enemies you need to face first."
After saying that, Deppler turned and entered the tunnel. The tunnel was once again blocked by the reflector.
At that moment, a corpse stood up shakily in the garden.
"Captain … This is Resident Evil, right?"
