The corpses were covered by the roots of the purple flowers.
Some corpses were on their bodies, while others had purple flowers on their heads or backs.
It seemed that the roots had given them the power to stand up again.
"Everyone, switch to flamethrowers."
The situation didn't look good, but Hamm was unusually calm.
The moment the flamethrower was fired, all the corpses were engulfed.
But the flames died out faster than expected.
At this time, the living corpses did not fall. Their broken bodies seemed to be flowing with red flames.
The flowers on their bodies turned from purple to red.
A corpse suddenly opened its mouth and spat out flames at everyone.
"Damn …" Everyone dodged.
They absorbed energy and changed their element through it.
Chen Zhao looked at the corpses in the garden quietly.
They were more agile and active than before.
It was probably because they could only photosynthesize after absorbing ultraviolet.
Therefore, the flowers didn't give the corpses enough vitality, which was why they were weak.
Then, Hamm and the others thought they were smart and used flames to attack the flowers and corpses.
This made the corpses even harder to deal with.
Of course, if it were Chen Zhao, he would probably do the same.
After all, plants were restrained by flames. Normal people would think this way.
But Chen Zhao also noticed that some corpses and symbiotic flowers were still burned.
This meant that the upper limit of their energy absorption wasn't high.
Chen Zhao caught a corpse and realized that the upper limit was indeed very low.
This was understandable. Their bodies were already broken and couldn't absorb too much energy. They also couldn't be preserved for long.
But the relationship between the host and the parasite was quite special.
First, the symbiotic flower lived in the host's body. When it grew to a certain stage, it would give energy back to the host.
This pattern could be maintained until the corpses were completely decayed.
The symbiotic flower probably secreted some substance that could slow down the process.
However, the decay was still an irreversible process.
The symbiotic flower would lose its host sooner or later.
Just then, Chen Zhao heard a pained shriek.
A soldier was pounced on by a corpse and then burned to death by the fire it spat.
But Hamm quickly stabilized the situation.
It had to be said that Hamm's personal ability and command skills were more than a level higher than the other soldiers.
Apart from being caught off guard at the beginning, they didn't give them too much trouble.
Even if the zombies were faster and more agile, even if they had the ability to breathe fire.
Even though their numbers far outnumbered the soldiers.
However, in the face of well-trained soldiers and excellent equipment, they still couldn't pose much of a threat.
Soon, all the living corpses in the garden were cleared.
Hamm and the others were still on guard as they carefully walked down the aisle.
Who knew if a few more living corpses would rise from the soil.
Everyone let out a long sigh of relief after passing through the passage.
"Be careful, no one knows what else is here."
But at that moment, the ground beneath their feet suddenly collapsed.
Everyone slid down the trap beneath their feet.
Puff! Puff!
Everyone fell onto a sandy ground.
Fortunately, there was sand below them. Otherwise, this fall would have made them lose their fighting strength.
Hamm and the others got up and looked at everyone. "Are you all okay?"
"I'm fine."
"I'm fine."
Everyone got up and began to observe their surroundings.
However, they found themselves in a field the size of a football field, and the bottom was covered with fine sand.
It was surrounded by a wall, and there were many seats on the high platform behind the wall.
It was like a colosseum down there.
On the seats beside it, there were more than ten researchers in white coats sitting or standing.
In the field … Unless the people in the center used a sniper rifle, they wouldn't be able to attack the researchers.
"Captain, what should we do now?"
Just then, the sand in the distance suddenly rose up.
"Something's in the sand." Hamm's expression changed.
The thing under the sand was rapidly approaching them.
However, the weapons in their hands couldn't penetrate the sand at all, let alone attack the thing under the ground.
Just as the sand was flying in front of everyone, a huge mouth drilled out of the sand and bit down on one of the soldiers.
Hamm was shocked. The monster had crawled out right beside him.
If the monster did not choose his teammates but chose him instead, he would have become its food.
It was a monster that looked like a snake, but its head was more like a viper's.
There were many spores all over the back of the snake monster.
Boom!
The soldier was also very decisive. Without hesitation, he pulled the grenade and self-destructed.
The bloody mouth was immediately blown to pieces. The explosives and flamethrower that the soldier carried also detonated, completely igniting the snake monster's body.
The snake monster's burning body kept rolling on the ground.
Just then, the other snake monsters crawled out of the sand.
They crazily bit their own kind that had been ignited.
"Fire at will and kill them. Hurry, we can't give them a chance to crawl back into the sand."
Thud, thud, thud —
Boom, boom —
One had to admit that Hamm's reaction was extremely fast.
He'd just escaped from the gates of hell, but he forced himself to calm down with his strong heart. Then, he stabilized the situation and fought back against the snake monsters.
When the snake-shaped monsters were attacked by Hamm and the others, some of them charged towards them.
Others wanted to crawl back into the ground.
The researchers in the audience were taking notes.
Chen Zhao was also wearing a white coat and sitting on the other side.
Looking at the battle, these snake-like monsters' greatest advantage was hiding in the sand.
Once they left the sand, they were much less of a threat.
One had to admit that Hamm's ability to seize opportunities was too strong.
In such a short and dangerous situation, he could actually grasp the snake monster's weakness and his own advantage.
"Who's that guy sitting opposite?"
"I've never seen him before. Is he new?"
"The lab hasn't had any newcomers in the past three months."
Because of the colosseum, the researchers could not see Chen Zhao's face clearly.
"Forget it. Let's continue recording data."
"After being parasitized by the evolution spores, these vipers' bodies become huge, but their intelligence drops significantly."
"That's normal. Some creatures' intelligence increases after being parasitized, but their bodies don't change much. This means that the evolution spores redistribute the body's functions and energy."
