The shops on both sides of the road were very different from those in District 6 today. Instead, they were closer to the city streets that Xie Xuan was familiar with before she crossed over.

Land resources are tight in District 6, and shops are all small compartments filled with shelves and merchandise, unlike a hundred years ago when large blank spaces would be left in stores for aesthetic reasons.

Except for Xie Xuan, it was the first time for the other five people to see such a street.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, Ding Qiaoyun and Yang Jiayue would even like to go down and have a good look around.

After the RV was forced to stop, it took a side road and continued on its way.

This is a two-lane two-way road, and their car was driving in the wrong direction just now.

"Is it true that there are no new humans living here?" Yang Jiayue couldn't help but ask again, "I feel like the scene here isn't something the newly awakened fungi outside the wall could have created."

Xie Xuan also wanted to ask, the scene here was too real, as if someone had witnessed all this a hundred years ago, and after being parasitized by the spores, a domain was created, and this scene was kept inside forever, until now, when they, the uninvited guests, broke in.

But there is one point that doesn't make sense here. If this field has always existed, the pioneering team will enter the field every year by following this path.

With such a powerful domain, there was no reason why Ji Lan would not specifically remind them to avoid it.

Others have also thought of this.

There are two possibilities. One is that this field has just appeared this year, and the other is that this field has always existed but is not aggressive. Ji Lan feels that there is no need to give special reminders.

However, both the former and the latter had illogical points. Xie Xuan looked at Song Zhixian and asked, "Do you know anything about this field?"

This place is already quite close to the C7 outpost. According to Song Zhixian, the team in the outpost will also conduct searches and surveys in the surrounding area. If this area has always existed, they will definitely have intelligence.

But Song Zhixian was destined to disappoint Xie Xuan. He shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He looked out the window, his brows furrowed slightly. "The scene here is very logical. I agree with Yang Jiayue's point. This area doesn't seem like something the fungi outside the wall could have created. But if a team from the base had entered before and left alive, I would definitely have an impression of it."

After they entered the field, the field did not show any aggressiveness, and Xie Xuan did not stop the car, but asked Bai Ze to obey traffic rules and continue to move forward.

What if this area is harmless and we just let them go out?

After the RV drove along the speed limit signs on the roadside for half an hour, they returned to their original place as expected.

There is a pet hospital next to where they just came in, and now they are back here.

Xie Xuan asked Bai Ze to stop the car. Continuing would only be a waste of energy. They needed to get out of the car and look for clues.

But the problem now is that everyone, including the car, has entered the area, and there is no truly safe place in the area. People who stay in the car may be in even greater danger.

They also need to ensure that the vehicle is intact, otherwise they will have to walk for another whole day to reach the base after leaving the area.

Xie Xuan thought for a moment, "Ding Qiaoyun and I will be one team, and Team Song and Xiao Yao will be one team. The four of us will get off the car and search for clues. Chongming and Yang Jiayue will stay in the car. Is that okay?"

"no problem."

Xie Xuan said: "Everyone, hold your weapons and wear your communicators. If you find any situation, do not act rashly and contact your teammates in time."

"no problem."

When the four of them got off the car, Xie Xuan was the last one left. She specifically told Chongming, "Take good care of yourself and Yang Jiayue."

Chongming smiled and said, "I thought you would say to protect the car."

"That would be the best," Xie Xuan said. "Remember to contact us if you have any questions."

Chongming nodded, "I know."

After Xie Xuan and the others got off the bus, they happened to see a group of people walking to the side. Behind them was a pet hospital. There were people who looked very lively and were holding pets as they walked in.

On the other side of the road is a row of shops.

Xie Xuan asked Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian to choose first. Xiao Yao directly chose the pet hospital, and Song Zhixian nodded without any objection.

Xie Xuan was actually a little worried about the combination of Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian, so she explained to them what she had said to Chongming before they separated.

Xiao Yao waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Captain Song and I both have more experience than you."

Xie Xuan also felt that she was a bit nagging, but this area always gave her a bad feeling. The calmer it was, the more indescribable uneasiness she felt.

After they separated, Xie Xuan and Ding Qiaoyun crossed the road on the zebra crossing, and other people passed by them on the road.

Xie Xuan and Ding Qiaoyun were both wearing black protective suits, and everyone else looked over at them as if they were some weirdos.

“It’s so weird,” Ding Qiaoyun said. “The people here seem like real people.”

Xie Xuan felt the same way. As infected beings, the people they had met so far were too much like real people.

After crossing the street, Ding Qiaoyun and Xie Xuan seemed to be back to the time when they went shopping together inside the wall, visiting one shop after another.

But nothing was found.

All the shops here are clean and tidy. Not to mention the mycelium, they can't even smell the unique rotten smell of mushrooms.

Ding Qiaoyun and Xie Xuan had walked almost an entire street without realizing it. This was the last shop on the street, an aquarium.

Xie Xuan and Ding Qiaoyun walked in. There were fish tanks everywhere, with all kinds of fish swimming in the water.

If Xie Xuan were alone and not wearing the protective suit, she would even feel that traveling to a hundred years later was just an absurd dream.

They had been searching for an hour and found nothing, and Ding Qiaoyun was getting a little anxious.

The pet shop only has one floor and a small warehouse at the back, and there is nothing unusual about the things displayed outside.

"There's nothing here!" Ding Qiaoyun shouted, "We might as well just blow this place up!"

For a moment, Xie Xuan actually wanted to agree, but she quickly realized that Ding Qiaoyun was abnormal.

She took Ding Qiaoyun's arm and looked into her eyes, but Ding Qiaoyun looked normal, except that she looked a little impatient.

It was the first time that Xie Xuan saw such an expression on Ding Qiaoyun's face. They were being infected by the spirit of this field.

Her spirit value on the system panel has dropped to 80, and Ding Qiaoyun estimates that it will only be lower.

Xie Xuan directly injected Ding Qiaoyun with a sedative and said, "Calm down, you are being infected by the spirit."

Ding Qiaoyun's frown relaxed, and she looked a little bewildered. "Sorry."

Xie Xuan shook her head, suppressed her inner irritation and continued to look for clues in the last store.

But everything seems extremely normal, as if they are the ones who are abnormal in this area.

Just when Xie Xuan was about to leave, she suddenly saw an inconspicuous object in the corner.
