Xie Xuan opened her eyes and saw that "Zhang Xiaoqian" in front of her was being swallowed by blue mycelium and was withering rapidly.

The realm was collapsing, and the train they were standing on, which had seemed relatively normal, had revealed its original form.

Countless rotten hyphae have completely withered, and the entire space is filled with an unpleasant stench.

Xie Xuan was still a little dazed, feeling as if something was missing, when she suddenly heard a voice from the side, "Your communicator, I'm returning it to you."

Xie Xuan turned her head, and Xiao Yao threw a small white object directly to her.

Xie Xuan subconsciously raised her hand to catch it, and found that it was actually a communicator that was retracting its mycelium.

Her communicator?

Xie Xuan was slow to realize that what she felt was missing was Bai Ze's voice, and the helmet on her head was also gone.

So Xiao Yao just pulled the communicator off her head?

Xie Xuan asked hesitantly, "What happened just now?"

Xiao Yao said with an inexplicable look: "I still want to ask you."

He raised his hand and pointed at Xie Xuan's abdomen.

Xie Xuan lowered her head and found that her stomach, which had been pierced by "Zhang Xiaoqian" just now, was now intact.

If there weren't blood stains on the edge of the torn hole in her protective suit, she might have misunderstood that everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

But the healing agent on her wrist was still there, and the health and spirit values ​​on the system panel had returned to 100. Xie Xuan did not feel any discomfort now.

Could it be that the symbiotic spores that appeared in her dream helped heal her wounds?

Xie Xuan temporarily suppressed the doubts in her heart and changed the subject: "The mission should be completed, right?"

"Yes." Xiao Yao nodded, "The logistics department will arrive in two minutes."

Xie Xuan turned around and remembered that she had forgotten someone again, "Where is Captain Ji?"

"He went out to rest. He will hand over to the logistics department after they arrive."

Xie Xuan nodded, "Then let's go too."

"You go out first, I'll pack up for Li Fei."

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment. Zhang Xiaoqian had completely turned into an infected object and turned into a ball of mycelium as the field collapsed, but Li Fei had not been infected when he died, so the number on his protective suit could be retained.

In order to prevent the spread of spores, the Ecological Bureau disposed of the bodies of people who died in the area on the spot, and only these souvenirs could be taken out.

Xie Xuan felt a little heavy-hearted, "Okay."

She walked out of the carriage door, which had completely turned into dried mycelium, and next to it was the hole she had opened in the glass door at the beginning.

Xie Xuan climbed onto the platform and looked back into the carriage. Xiao Yao was still parked in the same place and had not left.

Xie Xuan felt a little strange, but didn't think much about it and walked towards the exit along the platform covered with mycelium.

When she reached the ground, people from the logistics department arrived.

Ji Chenghong was handing over the situation in the area to a person wearing pure white protective clothing. When Xie Xuan approached, she heard Ji Chenghong's hoarse voice.

"The number of casualties is unknown, but there are likely over a thousand people who entered the area, and over a hundred who were fully infected."

Before the logistics department arrived, they knew that this was a rare large-scale infection incident. Three teams of nine people came, but if what Ji Chenghong said was true, nine people might not be enough.

"I see."

The logistics team leader immediately contacted the Ecological Bureau branch and asked for two additional medical teams and one logistics team.

The Ecological Bureau responded quickly, "Approved. We must clean up the site as quickly as possible and strive to restore normal train traffic before the evening rush hour."

After receiving the reply, the logistics department hurried into the station. Ji Chenghong saw Xie Xuan in a tattered protective suit with a complicated expression. Finally, he sighed and said, "Thanks to you this time."

Xie Xuan quickly waved her hands, "Even if it wasn't me, Captain Xiao would definitely have other ways to kill the parasite."

But unexpectedly, when Ji Chenghong heard this, he hesitated for a long time and finally waved to Xie Xuan, indicating that she should come closer.

Xie Xuan took a step closer and heard Ji Chenghong say softly, "I think you'd better be a little wary of Xiao Yao."

"Is it because Captain Xiao's teammates have a high attrition rate?"

Ji Chenghong shook his head, "Not entirely."

He was silent for a few seconds before continuing, "You've only been here a short time, so you might not be familiar with the situation at the Ecological Bureau. A dozen years ago, the Ecological Organization's ideologies weren't as extreme as they are now. Back then, the Ecological Organization and our District Six Ecological Bureau maintained a certain degree of cooperation, and many senior executives from various branches of the Ecological Bureau had previously held positions within the Ecological Organization."

This was the first time Xie Xuan had heard of this, so she tentatively asked, "But later, the Ecological Bureau and the Ecological Organization parted ways, but these senior executives still stayed in the Ecological Bureau?"

"That's about right," Ji Chenghong said. "For example, Director Chen from our 45th Division was one of those people who were very close to the ecological organization back then."

Xie Xuan frowned, "If that's the case, why don't you transfer these people away?"

Ji Chenghong smiled bitterly, "It's impossible to transfer them. Not only are these people scattered across the branches, but many of them are still in senior positions at headquarters."

He paused, as if finally remembering why he brought up this topic. "Xiao Yao was brought into Branch 45 by Director Chen himself, and he's an A-level psychic. Who would believe there's nothing fishy going on?"

Xie Xuan finally understood that beneath the seemingly calm surface of the Sixth District Ecological Bureau, there were undercurrents of various forces.

Not to mention that on this water surface, the storm stirred up by ecological organizations is imminent.

Xie Xuan thought about it and felt that it was not her turn as an ordinary employee to worry about such things. The only thing she could care about was probably the reward for this mission that was about to come.

"I see. Thank you, Captain Ji, for your reminder."

Ji Chenghong shook his head. "Just call me by my name. You and I are both B-level psychics. Once you have accumulated some mission experience, you will be able to lead a team on a mission yourself."

Xie Xuan had no interest in such a troublesome job as being a captain. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that she hadn't paid off her debts yet and the sword of Damocles hanging over her head, she would have just wanted to lie down.

Even if the end of the world is really coming, it cannot be stopped by one person.

Besides, there is a saying that goes, even if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up first.
