In the darkness, mice swarmed in like a tide, and the sharp squeaking sounds echoed in the forest.

Xie Xuan's mousetrap has a load limit like ordinary mousetrap. If too many mice come and fill up her black fog, the remaining mice can step on the corpses of their companions to get through.

And now it has almost reached this point.

Xie Xuan estimated that his black fog had trapped thousands of mice, but there were at least thousands more mice squeaking behind the black fog.

It's not that she couldn't solve it, but she was so confident before she came that she could solve it alone, but in the end someone slipped through the net, which was still a bit embarrassing.

Xie Xuan threw the dagger out and used his control technique to make it like the god of death's scythe, quickly harvesting the rats around him.

These mice were larger than any mice Xie Xuan had seen before. They had hard, erect hair on their backs like hedgehogs, and their teeth were also very long, revealing a bit of pale white in the night.

The smell of blood in the air gradually overwhelmed the original stench.

But no matter how hard Xie Xuan tried, a few rats still slipped through the net and ran away from not far away.

Before Xie Xuan's dagger could catch up, a man in black protective clothing suddenly walked out from the darkness and stepped on the mouse.

Following a slight explosion, the other mice suddenly stopped and lay motionless on the ground.

Xie Xuan intuitively felt that this was not Chongming, but judging from his clothes, he should also be from the Ecological Bureau.

The man walked towards Xie Xuan, coughing as he walked. Now Xie Xuan was sure that this was not Chongming.

Chongming, a bionic man, would not get sick, let alone make such a weak cough.

The rats continued to swarm here, and the man suddenly stopped one meter away from Xie Xuan.

He raised his hand and coughed as if he was covering his mouth subconsciously, "Ahem."

Xie Xuan was a little confused, but the only people who could appear here now could be from the garrison outside the wall.

Although Xiao Yao had said before that there would be people with special abilities infected by spores in the Development Department, but isn't it a bit too inhumane to choose to be stationed outside the wall when they are so seriously ill?

The man coughed several times, and Xie Xuan began to feel a little uncomfortable in her throat. But when the man finished coughing, Xie Xuan suddenly found that the mice's calls had all disappeared.

Silence returned to the forest.

Xie Xuan suddenly felt a little creepy. She didn't feel scared when the rats were approaching, but now the man just coughed twice and killed all the rats silently.

Xie Xuan felt that no one she knew could achieve this level.

But after getting rid of the rats, the man turned around and walked towards the temporary camp on Route 18 while coughing.

Hei Wu was already full when Xie Xuan arrived. Eating a few more rats was just a satisfying snack. Now that all the rats were dead at once, her vitality was gone. She had no reason to stay here, so she left with the man.

The man didn't speak a word from beginning to end, and even his helmet was only visible in one direction. Xie Xuan could only see a partially enlarged version of herself through his helmet.

"Hello, my name is Xie Xuan, I'm 19 years old and now I'm the captain of Team 18." Xie Xuan said carefully.

The man didn't stop or turn around. He said softly, "Hello, my name is Song Zhixian, and I'm the person in charge of the C7 garrison."

Song Zhixian's voice sounds gentle, but it makes people feel weak.

Xie Xuan didn't ask if Song Zhixian was sick or anything like that. "Has your car arrived? Did you come here specifically to see me?"

"By the time we get back, my team should have arrived." Song Zhixian said.

Xie Xuan didn't say anything else, and the two of them walked quietly in the dark forest.

In a few minutes, they walked out of the forest. Outside, two cars were standing in the open space with their headlights on. Chongming was standing between the two cars, and Xiao Yao was getting out of their own car.

The first person to see Xie Xuan was Yang Jiayue. She got out of the car and waved to Xie Xuan, "You're back."

After she finished speaking, she realized something was wrong and asked, "Didn't you go there alone?"

For a moment, all eyes fell on the people around Xie Xuan.

Xiao Yao, already frightened by the beating in the previous domain, walked over and asked, "Why are there people from the Ecological Bureau here? Everyone from Team 17 is here, Team 18 has been wiped out, and Team 16 can't possibly make it here. Who are you?"

Song Zhixian started coughing before he could answer.

Xie Xuan took a half step forward to block the aggressive Xiao Yao. "He is Song Zhixian, the person in charge of the C7 station. He just helped me resolve the danger in the forest."

Ding Qiaoyun frowned slightly. "C7's base? How is that possible? Their car hasn't arrived yet."

Just as he finished speaking, there was another noise in the forest, and then a pure black SUV drove into the open space and stopped.

The license plate of the black SUV reads C7-04

The car door opened, and four or three people in black protective suits jumped out. When they saw Song Zhixian standing behind Xie Xuan, they quickly went up to him and said, "Captain Song, do you want to go to the car to rest?"

Except for Xie Xuan, the other four people were a little embarrassed. Who would have thought that the person in charge of the C7 base not only came in person, but also got off the car halfway and walked over alone.

Song Zhixian waved his hand and said, "I'm fine."

He turned around and introduced, "This is Xie Xuan, the current captain of Team 18. You can hand over the situation to them."

The leader of the three people came forward and nodded to Xie Xuan and said, "Captain Xie, I am Qiu Wei, the captain of Squad 2 of C7 Station."

"Hello," Xie Xuan said. "The members of Team 17 are all in their own cars now. You can talk to my teammates Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun about the details."

Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun, who were called, walked over consciously and nodded slightly to Qiu Wei.

Qiu Wei took another teammate and Yang Jiayue to confirm the situation of Team 17, and asked the remaining teammates to communicate with Xie Xuan about the subsequent itinerary arrangements.

"Let's talk in our car," Xie Xuan said. "Captain Song, do you want to come with us?"

Song Zhixian nodded, "Okay."

Xie Xuan and the other two people got into their own car together with the two people stationed at the base. Because they were outside the wall, there was no custom of inviting people up to be guests and pouring them a cup of tea first.

The five of them sat down around the dining table. The person stationed at the base said, "Captain Ji has already communicated with us. Later, based on the situation of Team 17, we will use our discretion to decide how many people to send to escort them back to the wall. In the worst-case scenario, if all of us have to escort them back to the wall, we'll have to trouble you to escort Captain Song back to the base."
