After watching for a short while, Gu Mian turned around and walked in the opposite direction.

The team card only lasts for two hours, so she needs to go for a walk around the neighborhood.

Once she was out of Zhou Ye's sight, she quickly took off her cotton-padded coat and put it in her backpack. In just a short while, she was covered in sweat.

Just a few minutes later, the drizzle stopped, the dark clouds dispersed, and in an instant, a golden sun hung high in the sky.

Breathing in the fresh scent of grass and trees, my already good mood improved even more.

A gray rabbit hopped past her, stopped in front of a bush, and sniffed it.

Perhaps realizing it wasn't food, it quickly hopped and skipped away, disappearing into the grass.

So cute.

Looking at the plump gray rabbit, Gu Mian couldn't help but think of the taste of spicy rabbit meat.

Before the corners of her mouth could even close, she heard a rustling sound behind her.

Gu Mian frowned and looked over, only to see a group of black rats, each the size of a basketball, rushing out of the woods.

In less than a minute, she was surrounded by a dense army of black rats.

"It stinks...it smells awful!"

Gu Mian's pupils trembled. She covered her mouth and nose tightly with one hand and pressed the start button on the energy protection bracelet with the other.

The next second, a group of black rats crashed into the unfolded protective shield.

The protective shield remained completely still, but the sound kept coming from my ears—

[Energy - 5]

[Energy - 5]

The system notification sound.

The protective shield could only stop the black rats' attacks, but it couldn't stop the strong stench emanating from them.

With a flushed face, Gu Mian took out the Moon-Entangling Sword and swung it forcefully. A sharp sword aura surged out, instantly sweeping away all the black rats on the ground.

[Kill a Tier 1 Contaminant Black Rat and earn 1 point.]

[Kill a Tier 1 Contaminant Black Rat and earn 1 point.]

...

Just as I was about to let go and take a breath of fresh air, I saw another group of black rats scurrying out of the surrounding woods, several times more numerous than before!

The black rats' eyes flashed with a fierce red light, and they made a piercing, sharp "squeak" sound as they slammed into the transparent protective shield that enveloped her, making a series of crisp "bang bang bang" sounds.

At the same time, the system kept prompting:

[Energy - 5]

[Energy - 5]

...

Gu Mian: ...

What's going on?

Did she stir up a rat's nest?

Looking at the endless black rats, Gu Mian decided that she might not share the good times, but she would definitely share the bad times!

He deftly opened his friend list and invited Xu Kun, Jiang Bai, and Gu Xiaobei!

"Holy crap! What's that awful smell?" Gu Xiaobei exclaimed before even opening his eyes as he teleported over.

Gu Mian: "It's a benefit."

"What?" Gu Xiaobei opened his eyes in a daze and saw a rat the size of a basketball pouncing on his face. He screamed in fright and swung his fist at it.

"puff!"

[Kill a Tier 1 Contaminant Black Rat and earn 1 point.]

The black rat was smashed to pieces with a single punch.

"Holy crap?" Gu Xiaobei stared at his fist in disbelief. The pungent stench instantly enveloped him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe!

"My God! How come there are so many rats!" Seeing the dense black rats on the ground, Xu Kun's scalp tingled, and he jumped into Jiang Bai's arms.

"...Get down!" Jiang Bai said with a dark face, kicking a black rat that pounced at him to death.

"I won't!" Xu Kun gripped Jiang Bai's neck tightly, refusing to let go.

Over there, Gu Xiaobei pulled out a baseball bat and, howling like a banshee, smashed a large black rat to death with one blow: "My goodness! Why did you drag me to this godforsaken place!"

Gu Mian: "..."

The scene was so chaotic that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

...

The black rats were only a first-order contaminant, so even if there were more of them, they wouldn't cause any harm to Gu Mian and the others, and they were all quickly killed.

Um... not really.

It seems to have caused Gu Xiaobei enormous psychological harm.

Gu Xiaobei squatted on a boulder, and every now and then he would put his hand in front of his nose and sniff it with a contorted expression, even though his hand was already very clean. He seemed to smell something strange.

Xu Kun looked at him with disbelief: "That's enough, you old men are so fussy!"

Gu Xiaobei glanced at him sideways: "Wasn't it the time when you screamed and jumped into Jiang Bai's arms?"

Xu Kun was speechless: "...I f***ing..."

"Um..." Gu Mian coughed twice, "Stop hurting each other and don't waste time getting to the island!"

Jiang Bai: "That's right. If you two like bickering so much, then stay here and keep bickering. Gu Mian and I will make room for you."

Gu Mian: "..."

Dude, you're just adding fuel to the fire!

Gu Xiaobei opened his mouth to speak, but another rustling sound came from the woods, growing louder as it approached.

His expression immediately changed, and he turned to look.

A strange creature in the shape of a human made of countless vines is sliding towards us.

[Phantom Vine (Tier 4): Mutant creature, HP, Attack 1000, Speed ​​300, Defense 3000.]

Passive: Pollution.

[Pollution value +2]

"What the hell?" Xu Kun stared at the Illusionary Demon Vine in disbelief. "I only glanced at it, and it increased my pollution level by 2 points?"

[Pollution value +2]
