"The increase means from the 90% limit to the 80% limit," Chongming said. "You really aren't afraid that we'll die out there."

The logistics department probably hadn't expected Chongming to know Bai Ze so well. After silently putting everyone's communicators back into their boxes, he said, "To be honest, rather than losing a few members of the development team, we're more worried about Bai Ze's restrictions being lifted too far and losing control outside the wall."

Xie Xuan frowned. "Out of control outside the wall? Shouldn't Bai Ze's real body be inside the wall? It's just a few communicators, is there any need to worry so much?"

The person from the logistics department glanced at Xie Xuan, shook his head, and didn't answer the question. "If there are no problems with your equipment, you can leave now."

He said, then turned and left with their communicator.

Chongming snorted softly and answered Xie Xuan's question, "Bai Ze is an artificial intelligence. He doesn't have a true body."

He turned to look at Xie Xuan and gave a standard smile, "Bai Ze is everywhere."

Xie Xuan chose to ignore Chongming's horror movie villain-like remarks, "Do you guys still want to go buy something?"

Although the list said they would get enough dry food and drinking water for the five of them for two months, they only needed to go to the nearest temporary camp outside the wall to replenish food and water within these two months.

But dry food can only fill you up, so Xie Xuan wants to buy some delicious food to take away.

"I'm going." Ding Qiaoyun and Yang Jiayue raised their hands together.

Chongming shook his head. Xiao Yao hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I'll go too."

The four of them went directly to the mall on 1090 Street. After shopping, they returned just in time for dinner.

Tonight is their last night inside the wall. Although this room is not that comfortable, it is definitely much more comfortable than tents and RVs.

Xie Xuan sighed towards the bed and fell asleep soon after lying down.

At nine o'clock the next morning, everyone gathered at the entrance of the Development Department's rest area.

A total of nineteen RVs were parked neatly in the open space at the door. Xie Xuan and her friends arrived relatively late, and as soon as she walked out, she saw a familiar figure standing not far away looking at her.

It was Mr. Ling behind me whom I hadn't seen for a few days. He seemed to be doing well these days. His complexion looked better and he no longer looked like a ghost who would die from overwork at any time.

Xie Xuan, who was about to cheat on her husband, was in a good mood and waved at him. The spirit behind him avoided his gaze a little uncomfortably, and quickly turned back to Xie Xuan.

Xiao Yao followed Xie Xuan's movements and was stunned for a moment when he saw the uniform she was wearing. "Someone you know?"

"The person sent by the ecological organization to monitor my infidelity, I don't even know him. I don't even know his name," said Xie Xuan.

At 9:05, Ji Lan stood on the steps at the entrance of the rest area and looked at them.

She changed into a slim-fitting short-sleeved T-shirt and long pants today, obviously to facilitate movement, but it also completely exposed the wound on her arm that almost went through the entire inside of her arm.

"Everyone." Ji Lan's voice was clear. "Today is the time for us to go out of the wall to carry out our mission. I don't have anything else to say to you, just one last sentence."

She said in a steady and powerful tone: "Come back alive."

At 9:15, everyone was on the bus and the convoy started to set off.

The RV team adopted the consistent aesthetic of the Ecological Bureau, all of which are pure white. If someone were watching on the roadside, the scene of 19 RVs driving past in a row would probably be very shocking.

Unfortunately, there was no one on the road.

The RV is self-driving and will continue to move along the route planned by the Ecological Bureau until it encounters external interference and human operation.

Even the vehicles are equipped with Bai Ze, which can automatically identify areas with high spore concentrations and avoid them in advance.

Xie Xuan sat on the sofa and heard Bai Ze start reporting.

"Outside the wall, please try to wear your protective clothing properly. When stationed, please be sure to open the protective shield device..."

The scenery outside the car window began to turn into a single grayish-white color. They were getting closer and closer to the high wall, and all their vision was occupied by this towering wall.

Half an hour later, the convoy stopped at the entrance and exit by the wall.

There is a guardhouse by the wall, but there is no one inside, only an automatic identification machine.

Ji Lan, who was already wearing protective clothing, got out of the car. After completing a series of identity verification procedures in the booth, the wall gate slowly opened.

Xie Xuan and his team's car was the last one. The wall gate was not high, and Xie Xuan could not see what was happening outside the wall from the car until the convoy started again.

The world outside the wall slowly began to appear before them.

What was different from what Xie Xuan saw from high above was that the colorful mycelium outside the wall was no longer just simple blocks of color covering each other on the ground, but was three-dimensional and stood firmly in front of them.

Mushrooms of various shapes and colors rising from the ground stand on the ground like a forest. The area near the wall is relatively better, perhaps because the warning devices on the wall are automatically cleaned every day, but ten meters outside the wall, there is no place on the ground that is not covered by mycelium.

"The current spore concentration detected is 30%." Bai Ze's voice sounded again.

The door on the gray-white high wall behind her had closed. Xie Xuan stood behind the front windshield, looking at the colorful world outside the window, feeling as if she had accidentally entered another world.

"We're outside the wall now." Xiao Yao sighed softly, "It's not quite what I imagined."

Yang Jiayue asked curiously, "What do you imagine it to be like?"

Xiao Yao thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "I don't know. Maybe you didn't expect it to be so gorgeous?"

Chongming, who was sitting on the bed in the back of the RV, chuckled in an ambiguous manner.

The RV was like a train sleeper berth, with three beds on one wall, a storage cabinet at the bottom of the other wall, and two beds above it. Chongming directly occupied the bottom bed.

Ding Qiaoyun could tolerate it because of Chongming's appearance, but Xiao Yao couldn't. "I said, don't sit on the bed. This bed is for women."

Chongming snorted again, stood up reluctantly and sat next to Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan felt extremely bleak about the future of his team, but now that everyone was outside the wall, he could only try to make everyone live in harmony.

"How about this, we each introduce our own special abilities, which will make it easier for us to cooperate in combat in the future." Xie Xuan suggested.
