Even the most powerful healing psychic today cannot break through the physiological limits of humans and create non-existent flesh and blood out of thin air.

Xie Xuan is now more like an infected creature than a human being.

But no matter whether Xie Xuan is a human or an infected creature, to Xiao Yao now, Xie Xuan is a teammate and a comrade-in-arms who shares life and death with him.

Regardless of whether this was Xiao Yao's wishful thinking, at least at this moment, he and Xie Xuan cooperated quite well.

Although Xie Xuan's hand grew back, her condition has not recovered to its best.

Although the vitality in these ants is more than the stomach acid just now, this vitality is like the meat in the crab, which is not much and is particularly troublesome to eat.

Now was not the time for her to enjoy it slowly. After Xie Xuan had replenished her energy to a barely sufficient level, she said, "I can now directly break down the barriers between this field and other fields. Do you plan to look for bacteria in this field or go to the next field?"

Xie Xuan's voice reached everyone's ears through the communicator.

"Go to the next one." Almost everyone said at the same time.

"Okay." Xie Xuan said to Xiao Yao, "Cover me."

Xiao Yao knew without Xie Xuan telling him, "No problem."

Xie Xuan's supernatural power began to concentrate on the ground between them and the RV. The black mist eroded the ground, just like the stomach acid eroded Chongming's mycelium just now.

A hole soon appeared on the ground. The hole slowly expanded, and finally Xie Xuan, Xiao Yao and the entire RV fell in.

At the moment of falling, a bunch of white mycelium quickly stretched out from the open car door, tied up Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao and brought them into the car.

The moment the door closed, the RV stopped falling and the entire body of the car suddenly sank down. It was obviously a hard landing that could not be any harder.

At the same time, a voice that shouldn't have been heard rang out from the car. "Team 18, this is Ji Lan from Route 1. Please report your situation. Please report your situation immediately after hearing this!"

No one responded rashly. Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao, who had experienced too many previous experiences, naturally suspected that this was an illusion caused by the domain infecting their minds.

But Chongming spoke first, "This is Route 18 Chongming. We just entered a realm and are now coming out."

After Chongming answered Ji Lan, he turned to Xie Xuan and the others and said, "We're out. Bai Ze is back online."

Xie Xuan:?

They were all ready to fight this A-level fungus to the death, but it let them out so easily?

Xie Xuan asked, "Did we get lucky enough to break through the wall of the last realm?"

Song Zhixian shook his head. "Generally speaking, A-level fungi like this will stitch the domains they create into a sphere or ring. Simply put, there's no first or last one."

"So what's our situation?" Xie Xuan asked.

"The bacteria are scared." Xiao Yao said.

Xie Xuan asked in astonishment, "Can fungi be afraid too?"

Chongming was still answering Ji Lan's questions while readjusting his direction and continuing to move forward.

Although the earth-shaking noise caused by the fungus when it first brought them underground occurred within the domain, the domain outside the wall has a greater impact on the real world than inside the wall, so now that they are back on the ground, their position has deviated by hundreds of meters from their original position.

Chongming worked tirelessly, while Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun listened to the three fighters talking while sorting out the supplies that were thrown around and made a mess.

"The question of whether bacteria have developed emotions has only been raised in recent years, and it's a subject of considerable controversy among experts. However, it's undeniable that both bacteria inside and outside the Great Firewall are becoming smarter."

Song Zhixian paused after speaking, his eyes a little silent. "Or you could say that bacteria are becoming more and more like higher life forms, like humans."

This concept is actually quite creepy, just like the science fiction movies a hundred years ago that imagined that artificial intelligence and robots would eventually rule over humans. When the intelligence level of a species develops to a certain level, it will inevitably cause fear among humans.

Although the current bacterial species are enough to frighten humans, the fear of infection and death is completely different from the fear of being ruled or even enslaved by a bacterial species.

This topic was a bit too heavy for their team. Although this issue was an unavoidable problem facing all humans, Xie Xuan felt that with his current strength being so embarrassed by an A-level fungus, it would be better for him not to worry about such philosophical issues.

Maybe one day she will be strong enough to eat all the bacteria on the earth, and this problem will be solved without any need to think about it.

Their silence continued until Chongming and Ji Lan finished their communication.

Chongming actually heard their discussion just now, but as an artificial intelligence with self-awareness, he really felt that their worries were a bit unnecessary.

"You should be worried not about bacteria outside the wall evolving to the same intelligence level as a one- or two-year-old child, but about bacteria inside the wall."

When it came to this issue, the atmosphere between them became even more tense.

"You've probably all seen the parasites within this realm. Do you think that in the end, is it the humans who control their bodies, or is it the bacteria within them that control them?"

If it is the latter, it means that every bacterial species that parasitizes humans can actually quickly acquire the same level of intelligence and even emotions as the host.

Chongming looked at Xiao Yao specifically, "You shouldn't be completely ignorant of this. The Ecological Organization has invested a huge amount of manpower and resources in this area of ​​research."

Xiao Yao's expression froze. "I haven't worked in the ecological organization for a long time. How could I know this?"

"Really?" Chongming said.

"Ahem." Song Zhixian coughed twice more, stood up and said, "Sorry, I need to go take a rest. Excuse me."

Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun had just finished packing up when Yang Jiayue asked, "Do you need any medication?"

Song Zhixian shook his head. "Thank you, but no thanks. This is a side effect of my superpowers. The treatment won't work."

Everyone here has their own secrets. Song Zhixian refused, and Yang Jiayue did not force him. "Okay, if you need it, you can get it here yourself."

Song Zhixian said "thank you" again, took off his helmet, put on protective clothing and lay down on Chongming's bed.
