Evolution begins with Resident Evil
Chapter 293 Fungi
Everyone has a decent amount of ammunition and can continue the mission.
"We're trying our luck everywhere and it feels like the efficiency is still a little low. Do you have any good ideas?" Chris asked after confirming that the ammunition support continued the operation.
Xue Rui raised her hand and said, "Actually, I have an idea, but I don't know if it's feasible."
"You tell me first."
"Generally speaking, if a small town like this wants to announce a disaster or issue an earthquake warning at the city hall, it will be promoted through the town radio, right?"
Although Xue Rui didn't tell the whole plan, others had already reacted.
"You want to use the radio to gather the survivors? Is this too dangerous for the survivors?" Chris asked.

Sherry said: "But it's better than us running around like headless flies, and we can make the broadcast only broadcast in a certain part of the town, so that we can attract a large number of zombies away."
"These zombies are different from those we have encountered before. They are not as sensitive to sounds as imagined."
Chris still has doubts. He hopes to formulate a perfect plan, preferably to ensure that no accidents occur.
"But it always attracts a lot of zombies."
Xue Rui also knew this, but there was no perfect plan in the world, and she had tried her best to consider the safety of the survivors.
Steve raised his hand and said: "I remember that the island's radio room is also in the city hall. Anyway, the communication has not been interrupted. We can let the survivors contact us directly!"
"Not bad, kid." Carlos praised.
Chris nodded: "Just do as you say, let's continue setting off."
The subsequent rescue operation on Smoke Island went very smoothly. After Chris and the others implemented their plan, they once again successfully rescued a family of three.
The family was playing the board game DND in the basement at the time, and happened to escape the disaster.
On the other hand, the information that Chris conveyed back also played a big role in providing research direction for the Lighthouse Country's Institute of Biochemical Virology.
Just like a key, after identifying the research direction, subsequent research will fall into place, and even a drug research project for the treatment of depression and other emotional-related mental illnesses has been proposed.
Although no one collected the black smoke, microscopic observation of the black body fluid flowing out of the infected person revealed the presence of an unknown fungus in the body fluid.
Researchers then performed an autopsy on the captured infected person and found that the brain was infected by fungus, and black-green mold spots and black hyphae appeared on the brain epidermis.
And strangely enough, the infected person's blood has essentially been replaced by this black fluid that contains a lot of fungus.
This does not affect the operation of various systems of the human body at all. In a sense, it even enhances physical fitness. The cardiopulmonary and digestive functions are much stronger than those of ordinary people.
Based on the condition of the brain, the researchers decided to try to perform in vivo surgery on living infected people.
Although Chris and the others mentioned that these zombies may still have pain sensation and individual consciousness, the researchers also conducted anesthesia tests in a humanitarian spirit.
However, the anesthesia that can give general anesthesia to an elephant was not able to anesthetize the infected person on the operating table. After the anesthesia was administered, it was even observed that the elephant's body became visibly thinner.
The operation took more than ten hours. The researchers carefully scraped off the hyphae on the brain's surface. However, in order to ensure that the brain was not damaged, they did not clean it too clean. They mainly wanted to test the effect.
As a result, the condition of the infected did not improve, but there were no deaths either.
The research manager responsible for growing an unknown fungus in a petri dish observed that the fungus developed rapidly, partly due to its good appetite.
This would explain why the man who dedicated his life to science in the report Chris uploaded felt increasingly hungry.
But that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that the research director also discovered that these black fungi secrete a black liquid, and proposed that this secreted substance is the culprit that affects the human brain.
Anyway, there was already an infected person lying on the operating table, and these researchers decided to make the best use of the secreted black liquid and inject it into his body.
The result is that the infected person dies, with unknown strains of fungus growing on the emaciated body and spraying black smoke.
Based on this phenomenon, the project manager believed that there might be a large number of fungal strains under the smoke island, and sent a request for assistance in research to the military.
As soon as the local military leader heard about the existence of such a thing, he immediately contacted Morgan and asked him to be responsible for sending people to the center of Smoke Island.
"Aren't B.S.A.A. and G.I.M.Z. on Smoke Island? Have they checked the situation there?"
Morgan was worried about being intercepted by his competitors, so he thought about asking his friends to order B.S.A.A. to withdraw from Smoke Island.
"They did go to the center of the island where black smoke was coming out, but they didn't have the equipment, so they didn't go down to check the situation and then reported it to us."
The military leader looked at his watch and continued: "Didn't you mention before that you wanted to build the reputation of F.B.C. through this battle? So I ordered them to withdraw. Looking at the time, they are almost back. "
This was exactly what he wanted, and he didn't have to say it himself to avoid saying that he deliberately suppressed his opponent and competed for credit.
"Thank you. I'll treat you to dinner when I'm free."
"You're welcome. Your veterans resettlement plan has helped us a lot." The military leader smiled and replied.

Although it did not completely solve the problem of veterans in the Lighthouse Country, Morgan's plan still eased the pressure on the military and social conflicts.
With this relationship, Morgan has such a high prestige in the traditional military forces of the Lighthouse Country.
Otherwise, the F.B.C. would have praised them long ago on the day when the Navy, Army and Air Force Divisions were established.
Of course, the F.B.C. also took into account the emotions of the Lighthouse Country military, so the F.B.C. headquarters was set up at the NATO headquarters in Europe.
After the two exchanged a few more polite words, Morgan hung up the phone and said to his assistant Field who had returned: "Send out the Berets and ask them to explore the source of the Smoke Island. Tell them to be fully prepared."
The "Berets" are the most elite troops under Morgan, composed of some veterans of the Vietnam War as officers, and retired special forces soldiers who are in their prime.
Field received the order and left the room to make arrangements.
The "Berets" troops were in place quickly. With Morgan's support, all the equipment and weapons they needed were ready at the same time, just waiting for the people to arrive.
There were three teams in total, twelve people, and they were one of the squadrons of the "Berets". Not all of them were sent out.
In Morgan's opinion, they were just going to conduct reconnaissance and investigation, and bring back some things needed by the institute.
Those zombies didn't seem to have any special abilities, and the other members of the "Berets" had other tasks. Most of them went to a place called Harlan City to perform their tasks, so Morgan made such arrangements.
The twelve people set off in two helicopters and soon arrived at their destination.
However, they did not enter directly from the central cave, but from the edge of the large crack that spanned the entire mountain.
After nailing the fixed nails on the cliff, everyone entered the mountain one by one.
The environment below was pitch black. Everyone was wearing a full set of breathing and circulation equipment and night vision goggles. The M4 assault rifles in their hands were equipped with various tactical tools.
Two of the soldiers even carried a flamethrower as a killer.
The ground and walls inside seemed to be covered with furry "carpets", all of which were fungal hyphae, like a mushroom stall.
Unlike what they expected, they thought they would see mushrooms all over the ground.
When they stepped on them, they would make a crisp snapping sound.
Standing firmly and counting the number of people, everyone was in a passage, and they only needed to be on guard in front and behind for the time being.
"A1, the thermal sensor shows that there is no other heat source here except us." One of the team members reported.
A1 is the code name of the captain of Team A, and his subordinates are code names A2 to A4.
The same is true for Team B and Team C, but Team C does not have C4, only the code name C5.
There is no distinction between α and β, which is also a feature of Morgan's team.
"B3 has collected the samples here." B3 put away the test tube and reported.
"Let's go on." Morgan looked at the screen in front of him. This is the real-time monitor of the "Beret" squadron, which is convenient for him to convey orders in time.
Morgan was also a soldier before, so he naturally would not do remote micro-manipulation. He was more for controlling the direction of the team's advance.
In order to ensure smooth signal, they will also install a signal transfer station in the middle of the road.
"Received." A1 answered and led the team to continue forward.
The further they go in, the more turbid the air becomes. Through the night vision goggles, they can also see floating black fungi.
With a click, the leader A1 stepped on a pool of liquid, which was the black secretion of fungi.
At the same time, strains grew on the surrounding walls and the ground. It seems that the unknown fungi here are better developed.
But strangely, they didn't see any animal skeletons, and there was no sunlight here before the earthquake. So how do these fungi feed themselves? .
"Commander, are these fungi enough?" Their primary purpose is to collect the fungi here to confirm whether the fungi infecting the body are of the same type, whether they are different in the natural environment, etc.
"After collecting, you will go to the source center to confirm the situation. If there is nothing special or different, evacuate directly there."
In order to support them, Morgan built a small base at Chris's relatively flat evacuation point to facilitate support and evacuation at any time.
The further you go in, the fewer fungal strains there are, and the mushroom stalls are more like tree roots and spider webs.
Just when they passed a long and narrow passage and could only choose to move in a long snake formation, the C5 team members who were at the end of the team and responsible for guarding the rear were attacked from the side by a strange creature.
It turned out that there was nothing behind the wall, but it was covered by the mushroom stalls, so it could not be found.
C5's reaction speed was already very fast, but the mysterious creature was too close to him, and the location where it attacked was not within his alert range, so he only had time to turn around and point the gun at the enemy before being dragged away.
The gunshots rang out but soon stopped, followed by his screams from the cave entrance.
Although others did not see the true face of the attacker, Morgan saw it clearly.
It was a werewolf-like creature, much larger than an adult white male. The color of its skin could not be seen due to the camera, but he saw hyphae and strains growing on its body.
Morgan immediately took a screenshot and sent it to the institute to ask them to confirm whether this monster was transformed from those infected people.
If it was really a mutant from the infected, Polant's cleanup plan would have to start as soon as possible, and if necessary, it might have to use weapons like those that destroyed Raccoon City.
"You keep going... C5 is doomed."
Although the camera could not see C5's situation, Morgan could hear C5's shouting suddenly stop.
Morgan gritted his teeth. He felt very painful to lose an elite soldier who had been piled up with a lot of money in one encounter.
"Damn it!" The captain of Team C vented.
After this incident, the "berets" became more cautious, especially alert to the walls on both sides, fearing that monsters would appear again at any time.
They did not have the right props to explore the way to confirm whether there were any holes, so they could only use this stupid method.
What they didn't know was that the caves on the walls were actually sentinels, and those mysterious monsters already knew that there were invaders coming.
Let's call these monsters "fungus beasts" for now.
They had no other emergencies along the way, and successfully arrived at a place that looked like a hall. There was a crack above the hall, and they could see the night sky above. In addition, there were many tunnels of different sizes on the walls around here.
"A3, is there any reaction from the thermal sensor?" A1 asked.
"No reaction." A3 replied.
Those infected with fungi have a higher body temperature than normal people, so they brought thermal sensors in to help find those enemies.
"Commander, shall we continue to move forward? I wonder how many monsters have taken Kino away?"
They were in the dark, and although they had night vision goggles, they were not as clear as their own eyes, and the enemy seemed to be able to blend into the environment, which made them very uncomfortable.
They were elite, but they also cherished their lives. For Morgan, it took a lot of money and connections to build this unit, and it was not used as cannon fodder.
"Forget it, is there any space above you?" Morgan asked.
A1 replied: "Yes, and there is enough space."
"Okay. Hold on, I'll send a helicopter over."
"Got it."
The evacuation helicopter was very close, and there was no cover here, so these "berets" directly set up their formation on the spot to ensure that someone was watching in every direction.
Soon, there were movements from the tunnels of different sizes, and everyone was on guard, shooting at the rushing fungus beasts.
They knocked down several of them, but failed to kill them. They saw the fungus beasts struggling to get up and limping to continue charging.
"Flame spray!" The leader immediately ordered.
Two soldiers holding flamethrowers walked out of the queue, one on the left and one on the right, pressed the launch button, and then swept left and right, spraying flames in front of their team, creating a wall of fire, trying to block the enemy.
At this moment, the fungus beasts that had been lurking on the heads of the "berets" opened their completely dark eyes, dropped from the sky, and pounced on the delicacies that had entered their nests.
