The group drew their weapons and walked on guard.

Mu Wenxi carefully stepped on the ground, and could almost hear the hard sound of her feet hitting the plants. Soon, a zombie appeared in front of them, accompanied by the sound of leaves rubbing together. It emanated a cold aura, and all the plants it touched were covered in a snowy white.

Its skin was different from the other zombies. The other zombies were the color of withered trees, but this zombie was white. It slowly raised its hand, and a gust of wind blew towards everyone.

Mu Wenxi felt a chill run down her spine, and she felt herself slowly stiffening. The next second, she activated her superpower, and the stiffness disappeared.

Seeing that it was no use, the zombie raised its hand again. This time, countless ice needles flew out from the zombie's palm, but were blocked by the ice shield that Yu Chaoyang conjured the next second.

Yu Chaoyang: "We're both ice-type, let me have a go at you."

Yu Chaoyang also conjured ice spikes that flew towards the zombie. The zombie was agile and quickly dodged them, but unfortunately it encountered Yu Chaoyang, a sixth-level ice-type. Yu Chaoyang predicted the direction the zombie would dodge, and the ice spikes as thick as a finger pierced the zombie's head, causing the zombie's head to fall to the ground.

The crystal nucleus I picked out was green.

Yu Chaoyang: "The outer perimeter is full of fourth-level zombies, and the zombies inside will definitely be of a higher level."

After dealing with the zombie, the group continued forward, but after only a few steps, they sensed a change.

Yuan Jin: "The temperature is back."

Water Bro: "That's right."

Qin Lun: "There will be no more zombies in the short distance."

Mu Wenxi observed that it was getting dark and decided to rest first for safety reasons: "Let's find a place to rest before we set off again."

The group found a place to set up camp. Shui Ge was in charge of making water, Mu Wenxi took out the ingredients he had prepared in advance from his bag, and Yuan Jin and Yu Chaoyang went to find some food nearby.

The group was exhausted from killing zombies, so they decided to sit down and have a meal first. However, the aroma of the food seemed to attract some low-level zombies.

Mu Wenxi reluctantly put down the dishes and picked up the watermelon knife: "You guys eat first, I'll kill some more."

Qin Lun quickly finished eating and joined Mu Wenxi. These low-level zombies were a piece of cake for the two of them now.

After everyone had eaten their fill, they started thinking about where to sleep that night. Time seemed to be different in the Misty Forest than outside; it got dark faster and faster, and the night was not good for walking. With Qin Lun's help, the group found a suitable place to camp and took turns resting in groups.

Two tents were set up, one large and one small. Xingxing insisted on sleeping with Yu Chaoyang, while Mu Wenxi and Qin Lun stayed alone in the small tent.

After a while, the temperature in the Misty Forest dropped a few degrees, and the group of people shivered a little, while Xingxing slept soundly in the embrace of the rising sun.

Mu Wenxi and Qin Lun decided to take the night shift. After taking a nap, they told Shui Ge and Yuan Jin to go and rest.

Mu Wenxi: "At this time, we need a partner with fire-type abilities."

She hugged Qin Lun tightly; his thick fur made her feel warm. Looking up at the sky, she couldn't see any stars in the misty forest, only a pitch-black expanse. Qin Lun began to get restless.

His pair of emerald green eyes were very noticeable in the darkness, staring intently at his surroundings, sensing every rustle and movement around him.

A moment later, Mu Wenxi felt Qin Lun in his arms get a fuzzy look and look around warily. A zombie appeared not far from them, staring intently at them.

Qin Lun jumped out of Mu Wenxi's arms and took a few steps forward. The zombie sensed the danger Qin Lun posed and hesitated before leaving.

In the morning, the weather in the Misty Forest was not particularly good and was filled with fog. After a simple breakfast, everyone prepared to leave. They stayed in the Misty Forest for one night, calculated the number of zombies on the outer perimeter, and after discussion, Mu Wenxi and the others decided to venture deeper into the inner perimeter of the forest.

The surrounding fog was thick, and visibility was only about ten meters. If they were not careful, they could easily be attacked by zombies. The group formed a circle and slowly walked forward, and soon they reached the inner circle.

The inner entrance even has yellow warning signs that read: "Do not approach, danger."

Mu Wenxi became alert. She was the first to enter the inner circle, and as soon as she stepped into the inner circle, she immediately sensed a strange smell in the air.

She took a step back, turned around, and shouted, "Oh no! Hold your breath!"

While coughing, she took out a gas mask from her bag, put it on herself, and threw it to a few other friends.

Yuan Jin: "What is this smell? It's awful."

Mu Wenxi: "Go back quickly!"

Yu Chaoyang: *cough cough*

Mu Wenxi: "This smells like poison."

As soon as she finished speaking, a superhuman from another team ran out from the inner circle and knelt on the ground. He was scratching his neck tightly, tilting his head back as if he was about to suffocate, and making strange noises, "Help me, help me."

He lay on the ground, crawling with all his might. Mu Wenxi threw him a gas mask, and the superhuman struggled to put it on, panting heavily. Only when he seemed to be able to catch his breath did he say to them, "Thank you."

But Mu Wenxi noticed that some thread-like things were gradually appearing on his neck. The superhuman sat up from the ground, but the thread-like things on his neck spread all over his body and appeared on his face the next second.

The superhuman got up and was about to thank them when his whole body began to convulse, and he finally suffocated and collapsed to the ground.

Everyone was shocked, and Xingxing tightly grabbed Yu Chaoyang's hand beside her.

Yuan Jin: "Why is the air here like this?"

Mu Wenxi: "I don't know."

Yu Chaoyang immediately looked at Mu Wenxi, who had just coughed: "Are you alright?"

Mu Wenxi: "It's okay. I noticed something was wrong and immediately held my breath and put on my mask. I shouldn't have inhaled anything."

Qin Lun nudged Mu Wenxi's leg, seemingly a little worried. Because he was getting bigger and bigger, he wouldn't often jump onto Mu Wenxi's shoulder; most of the time, he would walk alongside Mu Wenxi.

Mu Wenxi patted him reassuringly: "I'm fine."

Mu Wenxi asked Xiao A if she was alright. Xiao A replied, "Don't be afraid, boss. Have you forgotten that your ability is assimilation?"

Mu Wenxi seemed unaware: "What does that have to do with my special ability?"

A: "Because you've been using your superpower assimilation, you encountered those toxic zombie viruses. They thought you were already a zombie and didn't contaminate you."

Mu Wenxi was shocked. She had always thought that assimilation only made the zombies think that she was one of them.

Little A: "The stronger your superpower, the greater your ability will be. You have to discover it for yourself."

Mu Wenxi thought to himself that the original owner of this body was really unlucky to have committed suicide before awakening his superpowers.
