After the RV had continued along the planned route for another half an hour, the team that had fallen behind caught up, and Ji Lan's voice rang out again.

"Please pay close attention to your own and other team's positions on the map. Although the vehicle is equipped with Bai Ze's perception system, there is still a risk of entering the territory by mistake. If you find that your team's position on the map is abnormal, please take action immediately to leave the territory."

This is just a one-way notification, and Xie Xuan and others don't need to reply to confirm receipt.

In the next two hours, because Xie Xuan and his team had two cheats, Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun, they progressed more smoothly than other teams.

At twelve o'clock, Xie Xuan and the others had lunch on the folding dining table in the middle of the RV on time.

"It just so happens that you have fire-related abilities, so help us heat it up." Chongming said to Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao's eyelids twitched, and he said good-naturedly, "No problem."

But just as he was about to set fire, there was a muffled sound on the roof of the car as if something hit it.

"Be alert!" Xie Xuan said immediately.

Everyone stood up immediately. Yang Jiayue held her breath and said curiously, "I don't sense any E-level or higher bacteria nearby..."

But before she could finish her words, there was another muffled sound, and this time the whole car sank slightly.

Chongming immediately called up the camera on the roof of the RV, and the projected image showed two birds that looked to be half a meter long.

Xie Xuan didn't know whether to call them birds, because their bodies were covered with dark green fungi and mycelium. When they flapped their wings, the lush mycelium on their wings would also flutter.

Thanks to the high-definition camera on the roof, Xie Xuan and his team could even see the fungus growing in the eye socket of one of the birds. It almost occupied the space where the bird's eyes originally grew, as if an eyeball had grown out of it.

These are two infected creatures. They are parasitized by spores, but the bacteria on their bodies are not yet mature or are only E-level, which is why Yang Jiayue ignored them.

Because there are E-level strains everywhere, it is unrealistic to avoid every strain.

The question now is what to do with these two infected creatures that seem to be using their RV as a temporary shelter.

Should we drive them away, kill them, or leave them alone?

Everyone looked at Xie Xuan. Xiao Yao said, "Birds usually live in groups, but we can't tell the species of these two birds right now. If we choose to drive them away, there are two possibilities. One is that we will scare away all the surrounding birds, or we may cause them to attack us."

Xie Xuan thought for a moment and said to Ding Qiaoyun, "Can you let them leave here?"

Xiao Yao raised his eyebrows slightly and said nothing.

Ding Qiaoyun said: "It should be fine."

But before Dante Qiaoyun could say anything, the two birds on the roof of the car suddenly flew away by themselves. And there were not just these two. As Xiao Yao said, the sound of more birds flapping their wings when they were startled and flew away could be heard in the mushroom forest.

"Something is coming." Chongming said.

"It should be an infected organism parasitized by C-level bacteria." As Yang Jiayue said this, a yellow dot appeared on the sand table and was approaching them rapidly.

Xie Xuan made a prompt decision and said, "They are coming for us. Prepare to fight them."

Yang Jiayue, a purely auxiliary psychic, consciously hid to the back of the carriage.

"It's just a C-level one. I can handle it alone." Xiao Yao said.

"I'll go with you," Xie Xuan said. "Ding Qiaoyun and Chongming, protect the RV and Yang Jiayue."

Ding Qiaoyun and Chongming nodded, thinking that this was a relatively reasonable arrangement.

The distance between the dot on the map and the RV was rapidly closing to only 500 meters. In order not to affect their only means of transportation, Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan chose to get out of the car to fight.

It was the first time that Xie Xuan stepped on the land outside the wall. The ground covered with layers of mycelium was soft and hard. As soon as she stepped on it, the mycelium began to grow upwards along her feet.

"The current spore concentration detected is 40%." Bai Ze's voice sounded.

When Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao walked to ten meters in front of the car, they heard a sound like a tree falling in the forest, and a huge figure appeared in their sight.

Although this creature, covered with fungi and mycelium, has almost lost its original appearance, it can still be barely identified as a wild boar by its two fangs growing upwards.

However, in Xie Xuan's impression, she had never seen a wild boar that could grow to two meters tall.

The infected creature that Xie Xuan had only seen in the area now appeared directly in front of her. Before she had time to think about it, the wild boar maintained its sprinting speed and charged towards Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan clenched the dagger in her backhand and rushed forward. Beside her, Xiao Yao also made a gun gesture with his hand and fired a flame bomb at the wild boar.

The mycelium on the wild boar was easily ignited, but the wild boar's speed did not slow down at all. Instead, it turned into a more lethal fire pig.

Xiao Yao cursed and fired flame bombs continuously. Xie Xuan didn't dare to resist the wild boar's impact. She slid under the wild boar's belly and the dagger directly cut open the wild boar's belly.

The wild boar took a few steps forward due to inertia, and the internal organs that flowed out of its broken stomach were also covered with mycelium and mushrooms.

After the wild boar fell to the ground with a bang, the flames slowly died out, emitting a burnt smell.

"I don't know if this meat is still edible." Xie Xuan looked at the huge wild boar with a little regret.

Ding Qiaoyun, who heard Xie Xuan's words through the communicator, said, "It's not recommended to eat, but since you are immortal, we won't stop you if you insist on eating it."

Xie Xuan was speechless.

But just as Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao turned around and prepared to get in the car, the unburned hyphae and mycelium on the internal organs left on the ground suddenly began to grow rapidly. At the same time, the huge body of the wild boar turned into nothing in a few seconds.

"Xiao Yao, behind!" Chongming shouted.

Xiao Yao turned around quickly and saw the mycelium on the ground spreading towards him rapidly.

Xiao Yao set another fire without thinking. The fire, which was not very effective against wild boars, was effective at this time. The fire quickly burned the entire ball of mycelium into ashes. Even a lot of mycelium on the ground was burned before the fire slowly went out.

After a brief silence, Ding Qiaoyun's voice rang out in the team chat, "Unfortunately, you have nothing to eat now."

"It's not such a pity." Xie Xuan said, cleaning the mycelium off his body and getting into the car.

The car was also equipped with a large box of spray used by the logistics department to clean up residual mycelium. Yang Jiayue, who had been waiting at the door with the spray, diligently sprayed Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao.

When the RV started up again, Ji Lan's voice just happened to be heard on the in-car radio, "Xie Xuan, what happened there?"

"Nothing, just encountered a wild boar."
