Chongming said coldly, "If that's the case, why did Captain Song bother to come here in person?"

Song Zhixian coughed, but because the one-way visible helmet was still firmly on his head, his expression could not be seen clearly.

"This is also part of my job," Song Zhixian said gently. "But don't worry, everyone. The C7 station is on the plan for Route 18. You will reach the C7 station before reaching the second mission collection point. If the worst happens, I'll just give you a ride."

It takes another two days to travel from the first mission collection point to the second mission collection point.

The atmosphere in their team was not very harmonious to begin with, and if someone like Song Zhixian suddenly appeared and joined in, who knows what would happen.

But this matter is not something they can control.

Next, several people exchanged the areas that had just happened here.

"Such an active A-level fungus is so close to the wall?" The people at the garrison frowned and looked a little worried.

Although Xie Xuan and the others saw several A-level fungi on the way here because of Yang Jiayue's special ability, normally, the fungi will slowly dry up due to lack of water sources due to the end of the rainy season.

Some will die directly, most will enter a dormant state, waiting for the arrival of the snow season and next year's rainy season, and only a small number will remain active.

"It may be because the rainy season has just ended and the nearby puddles have not dried up yet that it remains active," said Xie Xuan.

Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao described in detail the status of the original Team 18 and Team 17 when they arrived, as well as the situations they encountered in the field.

When they heard that Xie Xuan had solved the A-level fungus, the people stationed at the base couldn't help but show surprise. "You solved the A-level fungus directly, and by yourself?"

Xie Xuan nodded, "To be precise, it's me and my teammates."

His gaze lingered on Zhongming and Xiao Yao before returning to Xie Xuan. He exclaimed admiringly, "The pioneering teams that ventured beyond the wall are generally composed of both A- and B-level psychics, but most teams can't handle B-level fungi. This is the first time I've seen anyone like you guys be able to directly eliminate an A-level fungus."

He paused, then turned to look at Song Zhixian, who was sitting next to him. "They're on par with our Captain Song."

Song Zhixian didn't say anything because his expression couldn't be seen clearly. He sat there motionless like a sculpture.

The topic briefly went off topic, and he started asking about the details of the field again.

This reminded Xie Xuan of the experience of giving mission reports when he was still inside the wall, but the questioning at the garrison was much more relaxed and casual, and even the records were only taken when he thought of them.

By the time they were almost done with their side, the other side had also finished.

Qiu Wei gave the medicine he brought from the base to the members of Team 17, but the situation was still not optimistic.

Qiu Wei called Song Zhixian and the remaining teammate to the car of Team 17. Although he did not tell Xie Xuan and the others not to listen, the five of them still stood consciously in the open space next to the car and waited.

"What's the situation?" Xie Xuan asked Ding Qiaoyun and Yang Jiayue.

Yang Jiayue shook her head, and Ding Qiaoyun said, "It's not good. They all have different degrees of mental infection and infection. No one has truly woken up."

Xie Xuan's heart sank. Not only did Team 17 fail to save the people, but they also lost themselves.

But Xiao Yao and Chongming were in a heavier mood. Team 17 was in such a bad situation and they had just experienced an A-level fungus. Song Zhixian would most likely choose to let Qiu Wei's team escort Team 17 back to the wall and take a ride with them.

Although Xiao Yao and Chongming also disliked each other, the degree of dislike was much less than that of Song Zhixian.

A helmet must be set to one-way visibility. This sickly guy who coughs all day long is not only the person in charge of the C7 base, but also asks Xie Xuan to obviously protect him.

But in fact, the previous ones are not the key points, the last point is the most critical.

They were here for Xie Xuan. No matter how many personal emotions were involved, they at least regarded Xie Xuan as a teammate and friend. But now, a strange person suddenly appeared and squeezed in among them.

But no matter how unhappy Xiao Yao and Chongming were, a few minutes later, Song Zhixian came out of Team 17's car and said, "I'm sorry, Team Qiu Wei and the others will be escorting Team 17 back to the wall. I'll be temporarily inconvenienced by you for the next few days."

Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun looked at Xie Xuan in confusion.

Xie Xuan explained, "Because Route 18 passes through the C7 base, Captain Song will return to the C7 base with our team."

Yang Jiayue glanced at the black SUV parked next to their car.

Qiu Wei said with understanding, "We'll tow this car behind Team 17's RV in case Team 17's car stalls mid-journey. We'll also need this car to get back outside the wall."

Ding Qiaoyun looked at the location of the C7 garrison on the map and asked, "It's more than a day's journey from here to the C7 garrison. How did you manage to get here in two hours?"

This wasn't the first time Qiu Wei had answered this question. "It's not just the pioneering troops inside the wall who are carrying out the pioneering mission. The permanent teams stationed outside the wall, in addition to supplying the pioneering teams, actually undertake more exploration and marking tasks. When we received the news from Team Ji, we happened to be stationed nearby, so we arrived just in time."

"I see." Ding Qiaoyun nodded. "But if that's the case, why would the person in charge of C7 follow you?"

Xiao Yao and Chongming discovered that they were not the only ones dissatisfied with Song Zhixian's joining, but Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun were the same.

"This is also part of my job." Song Zhixian used the same excuse, and then he started coughing again.

Xie Xuan sighed helplessly, "Team 17 gave us some supplies, enough for us to get to the C7 station. I'll just give my bed to Captain Song."

Chongming stared at Xie Xuan for a full half minute, then said with a forced smile, "No, I don't need sleep anyway. Let Captain Song lie on my bed and have a good rest."

After he said that, he turned around and went back to the car.

Song Zhixian showed no emotion and did not speak.

Qiu Wei also coughed lightly. If he still couldn't see that Xie Xuan's teammates did not welcome Song Zhixian, he could have donated his eyes.

But before Song Zhixian came, he told them that he wanted to get on Xie Xuan's car and asked them to cooperate. Now there was no need for Qiu Wei to cooperate against his conscience. He actually sent Song Zhixian into Xie Xuan's team.
