375 Bird

◎That's a bird◎

There is no danger here.

There is a sea of ​​contaminated spores beneath the distant deep sea. The blood-red light can almost drown people. Pei Shu is looking for where the contaminated spores come from.

Lin Xiaofeng followed him, and the two of them crouched down, as if looking for field mice in a rice field. No one else could see where they were.

The part they stepped on was a slippery black substance. Lin Xiaofeng even observed the entire process of the contaminated spores precipitation at close range. There was no eruption hole. First, a bud emerged, then slowly drilled out, and finally floated in the air.

Her eyes couldn't help but follow the direction of the spores, and she found that the contaminated spores floated at a maximum height of one and a half meters, about the chest of an adult. After exceeding this height, they began to slowly spread out.

Pei Shu was drawing a picture. After several observations, he found that the path of the spores was a bit like an ocean current or an electric current.

Pei Shu was puzzled: "Why can it only reach this height?"

He reached out and touched the "air". The function of the air here was not much different from that on the ground. Both contained oxygen, so they could breathe freely.

Apart from feeling very sticky and appearing to have a high water content, it actually does not affect human survival at all.

Contamination spores cannot break through this line and begin to flow downward once they hit it.

Pei Shu found an empty bottle and taught Lin Xiaofeng how to take samples. This kind of equipment is in everyone's backpack, and he also found it recently.

The special air substance is put into the bottle, but it remains transparent and no difference can be seen with the naked eye.

Lin Xiaofeng asked: "Do you want to collect contaminated spores?"

Pei Shu: "Don't move."

The contaminated spores aren't much different; the problem lies in the air. Pei Shu said, "Scrape some of the slime down."

Lin Xiaofeng carefully collected the sample from the empty bottle and asked, "Can we do a preliminary test?"

She couldn't wait to find out what it was.

Pei Shu: "It has to be sent inside the wall."

Professional scholars outside the wall have such equipment and capabilities, but they have nothing in their hands. Pei Shu is an outsider who only knows how to collect and record.

Pei Shu thought about it and felt that this was a good opportunity. Pretending to be casual, he asked, "Zhu Ning, why don't you send your Xiaofeng to further her studies? She's very talented and should learn systematically."

For scholars outside the wall, interest is the first priority, and other abilities can be cultivated. Lin Xiaofeng is very focused in her work, mainly because Pei Shu sees passion in her, which is very rare.

Lin Xiaofeng blushed a little as the topic suddenly focused on herself, and it was praise.

Zhu Ning assisted Pei Shu in the investigation. "I don't care about her. Xiaofeng, do you want to go?"

Lin Xiaofeng hesitated, not knowing what to say. Zhu Ning seemed to guess what she was thinking, "Not now. Let's go back inside the wall after this is over."

Go back inside the wall? That sounds great. Ever since Lin Xiaofeng met Zhu Ning, he felt like the world had become wider.

Zhu Ning would support her no matter what she proposed to learn. In the past, she only learned how to pose for photos, how to put on makeup and photography, but now she has learned how to shoot, drive and investigate.

You can even become a scholar, which sounds cool.

However, Zhu Ning has always been casual with her. Even if Lin Xiaofeng proposed today that she wanted to go back to being a model, Zhu Ning probably would not say that she was decadent and corrupt, and would be happy to send her to a good teacher.

Lin Xiaofeng received unprecedented support from her side. The world was vast and she could fly freely.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded without any hesitation, "Yes, I want to."

She is no longer the Lin Xiaofeng of the past. She will speak out openly when she wants something because she will not be rejected.

Pei Shu was waiting for this sentence and immediately said, "I know a professor named Lu Yuting. I'll introduce her to you later."

Pei Shu was like a tutor for a cram school. "My classmate is currently investigating outside the south wall. His professional ability is impeccable. He has two special abilities: one for analysis and screening, and the other for confidentiality. I'm sure he'll be very strong."

Those who can get out of the wall alive are not weak, especially those who are conducting reconnaissance outside.

Zhu Ning deliberately said, "Then I want to investigate."

"You can check whatever you want," Pei Shu said, "Talents are not afraid of tests."

Zhu Ning chuckled, thinking that this was good. They were talking about very ordinary things, as if they still had hope.

Pei Shu finished collecting, looked around, and asked Zhu Ning to stand in a specific position, and Zhu Ning listened to his instructions.

Pei Shu said, "Try to absorb it and see if you can get the contaminated spores to break through this line."

He wondered what was preventing the contaminated spores from rising further.

Zhu Ning took action upon hearing this, and black mucus gushed out from his back. He did not move, but his chest rose and fell slightly, as if he was taking a deep breath.

Ever since she took action, the surrounding contaminated spores have been trembling. Zhu Ning's power interrupted their specific "route", but they were all squeezed into one direction, as if there was indeed some space that even Zhu Ning could not break through.

Pei Shu tried waving his hands again to stir the air underground, but there was no change. In his eyes, there was no difference at all, but in the eyes of the contaminated spores, it seemed like layers.

Why on earth?

The problem isn't the air, but what's pulling it from below?

Pei Shu asked Lin Xiaofeng to collect air from two more cans, mark them separately, and instructed Zhu Ning, "This time, you sit down."

Zhu Ning sat cross-legged on the side. The height of the contaminated spores was now higher than her head. She had a calm expression, like a monk meditating in the forest.

Pei Shu said, "One more time."

Zhu Ning closed his eyes, his chest rising and falling as he breathed.

Lin Xiao opened her eyes slightly, and it seemed as if a strong wind was blowing around her. The contaminated spores were swept by a force, passing by her side and submerging Zhu Ning in an instant.

There was no hindrance in her devouring process, which meant that the contaminated spores here were the same as those outside.

A hole immediately formed where Zhu Ning had swallowed, like harvested wheat, revealing a large area of ​​black.

Pei Shu: "Go on, I'll stop when I say stop."

The black slime was growing visibly. The number of contaminated spores here far exceeded any time Zhu Ning had ever swallowed. She didn't even know if she could finish eating it all.

The black slime was twisting and struggling, like a blown-up balloon, expanding like a monster. Lin Xiaofeng watched the black slime expand three times, four times, and five times.

The black part became more and more, and the red part became less and less, and the "land" where they were standing could already be seen clearly.

Several red dots condensed at the bottom, and they were still releasing contaminated spores, which had not had time to grow and looked like plant seedlings.

Lin Xiaofeng guessed that they might also be on top of some creature, after all, it felt very slippery when they stood on it, but after the contaminated spores disappeared briefly, symbols actually appeared.

Only humans use symbols.

Plants and animals don’t require such complicated things to record, yet this is a man-made thing?

The lines under his feet gradually extended. Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but move his feet away, not wanting to block the symbols. He stepped back step by step, as if he was watching a miracle unfold before his eyes.

The further she retreated, the farther she was from Zhu Ning, who was sitting cross-legged in the distance, surrounded only by contaminated spores.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't describe what that feeling was. He could only watch her from afar, as if he couldn't enter her world at all.

Is Zhu Ning conscious now? Can she understand what she is saying?

The swallowing time was very long. Before, it only took Zhu Ning a few minutes to swallow, but now it has been more than twenty minutes and has not stopped.

Lin Xiaofeng couldn't help but stare at his watch. If he overeats, will Zhu Ning explode and die? Just like a human who overeats?

No one dared to speak. Bai Cheng stood coldly behind them. Black slime occupied their space, like the summoned demon's body.

If Zhu Ning loses control, Bai Cheng should be the one to clean up the mess.

The three of them couldn't help but retreat. Fortunately, the space was large enough, like a grassland. They watched Zhu Ning silently, wary of whether this action would bring unknown dangers.

But no, this place was so peaceful and harmonious that nothing unexpected happened even after Zhu Ning swallowed so many contaminated spores.

Is it because the laws here are too complex and have not yet been touched? Or is it just that quiet here?

The sound of waves in his ears has not stopped yet. Pei Shu used to think that the waves were the collision of polluted spores, but now it seems that is not the case at all. The sound of waves seems to be penetrating from all directions.

It seemed as if there was a real ocean underneath this black slime, but it had been buried before.

"Okay." An hour later, Pei Shu's voice sounded.

The force attracting the contaminated spores suddenly disappeared. These things lost their owner and began to fly around. Contaminated spores were still growing on the ground, and it would not be long before the entire space would be filled again.

Zhu Ning was controllable, and Lin Xiaofeng felt relieved that she had not lost her self-awareness.

Zhu Ning opened his eyes, and the black mucus on the surface of his eyeballs flowed, forming the shape of a person behind him, as if there was a fifth person here besides his four teammates.

The back of Zhu Ning's neck was completely cracked, and the bone there was slightly swollen. Her mind was blank while she was swallowing, and she didn't think about anything until she heard Pei Shu's prompt.

Zhu Ning blinked slowly. The black mucus on her back was connected to her, pulling her a little painfully. She raised her head, and the mucus just lowered its head.

The thing looked like a ball of asphalt, or like a swamp. It lowered its head affectionately, as if wanting to get closer to her. They were only an inch apart.

The black slime feeds on fear. When it first entered Zhu Ning's body, it was waiting for an opportunity to eat its master, but now it has become so obedient.

This thing is quite friendly. The tentacles at Zhu Ning's heart rolled over. He had been hungry for too long, and the parasites in his body stretched out.

Zhu Ning's first reaction was not to look around, but to open the system panel. The new system page designed by Zhu Yao was very simple, and she clearly saw the two progress bars fluctuating.

One is to purify the world, which has been completed by 22%.

The other is the Eye of Prescience, which has a development level of 10%.

Zhu Ning never understood the function of the Eye of Prescience. His understanding of it was very superficial, that it was a form of foreseeing danger.

But now the time for danger prediction has not changed, but the Eye of Prediction has changed. Is it because more contaminated spores have been swallowed?

How could she use this eye of foresight? Could she peer into different timelines like the original Zhu Ning? But she couldn't even find the switch to do it.

No new superpowers have been formed, and the progress bar of the task of purifying the world is growing. What will happen if Zhu Ning devours all the contaminated spores here?

His life span is still 20%. Zhu Ning is already 19 years old and he only has a few months left before he dies.

The day her mission is completed may be the day of her death.

"Are you okay?" Bai Cheng asked.

Zhu Ning tried to get the black slime back, but it was a little stuck, as if Zhu Ning's body had become smaller, while it had become bigger. The fat person couldn't enter smoothly through the original gate.

Zhu Ning narrowed her eyes and figured out some things. The contaminated spores were not just for her to eat. The parasites in her body would only get out of control as they grew bigger.

It might be dangerous for Zhu Ning to continue absorbing it.

Zhu Ning moved his cervical vertebrae, making a crackling sound. He exerted a little force with his other hand, and the black slime sensed that its owner was unhappy, and began to move slightly, crawling back reluctantly.

But the speed is a bit slow, and it will probably take some time to fully absorb it.

Bai Cheng looked at her from the opposite side. Zhu Ning shook her head: "It's okay."

She has no idea what her situation is now, and of course she didn't mention her lifespan.

"Look." Lin Xiaofeng's words interrupted Bai Cheng's unspoken question.

Zhu Ning turned her head. With her as the origin, the place where she had swallowed was empty, like an irregular circle with a diameter of about one thousand meters. However, it was not clear how big it was. It seemed that Zhu Ning had only harvested a part of it.

The black "land" unfolded, and the contaminated spores looked like mushrooms that had not grown, with a head missing, and the lines above were more conspicuous.

There are actually traces of human activity, the lines are like blood grooves on the back of a knife, and they look more like cracks on the ground.

But I don’t know how many years it has existed. The edges have long begun to blur and some lines have been smoothed out.

Zhu Ning did not walk to where Pei Shu and the others were, but directly opened the God's perspective.

She could see the current situation from a high altitude. When she looked down, the place where Zhu Ning had swallowed was like a wheat field pressed by a spaceship. The lines below had life, as if a person from a higher dimension was painting with a pen.

Outstretched wings, sharp feathers, and a pointed beak.

That's a bird.
