The more Xie Xuan thought about it, the more her head hurt, but this was the domain, and she was in a hurry, so she couldn't continue to waste time recalling.

At this moment, Xie Xuan suddenly saw a huge moth appear behind the ward next to him.

Why are there moths here? Xie Xuan was puzzled. She clearly remembered that giant moths were only found in the safe passage.

Wait, remember? Why would she remember there were giant moths in the emergency passage when she hadn't even been there yet?

Xie Xuan walked slowly to the door of the ward with the anesthetic gun.

Through the window of the ward, she could see that the giant moth seemed very weak and was slowly sliding down against the door.

Xie Xuan didn't dare to let her guard down. She slowly pushed the door open. The door opened inward, and the huge moth almost put all its weight on the door panel.

The moth was very heavy. Xie Xuan felt that it was almost as heavy as a person. After Xie Xuan pushed the door open with great difficulty and walked in, the moth was already lying completely on the ground.

But it seemed to be still alive, its round body rising and falling slightly as if it was still breathing.

Xie Xuan felt a strange sense of disharmony, and this feeling reached its peak when Ezi raised his head with difficulty to look at her, opened his mouth and said the word "Xie Xuan" in a vague voice.

"Team 8 member Xiang Zihan is nearing death. We are preparing for intervention."

The strange voice in her ears rang again. Xie Xuan didn't know who Xiang Zihan was, let alone what intervention meant, but when she heard this sentence, she felt an unknown resistance and sadness in her heart.

Why? Xie Xuan felt very strange.

Just as the grayish-white moth in front of him suddenly began to turn white, a bullet accurately hit the moth's head.

Blood splattered, and the moth's body immediately stopped changing. The white patches on its body lay in the spreading pool of blood, with some deep and some shallow.

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, and a strange voice came from the side, "What are you doing?"

Xie Xuan turned around and saw a strange man in black protective clothing, "Who are you?"

The man frowned, "I'm Tian Kaikang from Team 8. I'm going on a mission with you today."

Tian Kaikang? Xie Xuan seemed to have heard this name somewhere before.

But this sense of familiarity was quickly dispelled by Tian Kaikang's next action. Tian Kaikang squatted down, tore open the abdomen of the moth on the ground with his hands, reached in and took out several gray-white eggs in a bloody manner.

"...Is this the person being parasitized?" Xie Xuan asked.

Xie Xuan saw Tian Kaikang lick his lips and stare at the eggs intently. Finally, he took off his helmet, tilted his head back and swallowed all the eggs.

The blood from the eggs and his hands was sticky on his chin, and he licked it with his tongue.

But his tongue is different from that of ordinary people. It is more slender, like the mouthparts of insects.

Xie Xuan got goosebumps. Tian Kaikang had already put on his helmet again, stood up and said, "Let's go find the parasite."

Tian Kaikang was walking in front, and Xie Xuan was about to follow when she suddenly discovered that there was a black object under the body of the moth lying on the ground.

Xie Xuan bent down to pick it up from the pool of blood and found that it was actually a gun.

"What are you doing?" Tian Kaikang, who had already walked to the door, stopped at some point and turned to look at her.

Through the black protective suit helmet, Xie Xuan could see Tian Kaikang's white eyes and abnormal pale complexion.

He was staring at himself closely, not as if he was looking at his teammates, but as if he was looking at a dish that was about to be cooked.

Xie Xuan raised her gun. She seemed to have experienced a similar scene in her memory. She pulled the trigger at the person in front of her.

"Bang--!"

She remembered that Tian Kaikang from Team 8 had been infected.

Tian Kaikang did not dodge. He fell down with his eyes wide open, as if he had never thought that Xie Xuan would shoot him.

Xie Xuan originally thought that the dead Tian Kaikang would turn into a moth, but no, he just lay at the door, blocking the way out.

Xie Xuan still remembered that she had to go to the safe passage at the end of the corridor to find the parasite, which meant that she had to step over Tian Kaikang on the ground to get out.

She frowned and tried not to pay attention to the body on the ground. Just as she was about to take a big step past him and walk out, her raised leg was suddenly held tightly.

Xie Xuan lost her balance and subconsciously held onto the wall. She looked down, only to see Tian Kaikang staring at her intently, blood still gushing from his mouth. He mumbled, "What are you doing?"

Xie Xuan felt that her legs were about to be broken by Tian Kaikang. She fired another shot at Tian Kaikang's head. The helmet shattered and cracked into countless pieces, but behind the helmet, Tian Kaikang was still staring at her.

"What are you doing?" Tian Kaikang kept repeating. He held Xie Xuan's legs and sat up. Xie Xuan fired another shot at Tian Kaikang's hand that was holding her leg.

But it was no use. Tian Kaikang lifted Xie Xuan up backwards as if he didn't feel any pain.

Xie Xuan even heard the sound of her bones breaking under the heavy weight. Amidst the intense pain, Xie Xuan heard a strange yet familiar voice in her mind.

[Health decreased by 15.]

Then the color in front of Xie Xuan's eyes turned into a clean blue again, but this time the blue did not stay on Xie Xuan's retina, but countless blue mycelium really spread out from her body.

These hyphae emerged from Tian Kaikang's crushed legs, penetrated the black protective suit, and quickly spread to Tian Kaikang's body.

Almost in an instant, Tian Kaikang was completely wrapped in blue mycelium.

Xie Xuan was completely stunned. Why did such a thing appear on her body?

What's even more strange is that after the blue mycelium engulfed Tian Kaikang, Xie Xuan felt that the pain in her wound was no longer unbearable.

Xie Xuan's legs stopped hurting, but her head started to hurt.

【Spirit value decreased by 10.】

Xie Xuan remembered that this was the voice of the system. She was carrying out a B-level task and she was infected by the spirit.

Tian Kaikang, who was just eaten by her symbiotic spores, was a member of Team 8 who had been infected, and the person killed by Tian Kaikang should be another member of Team 8, Xiang Zihan.

Xie Xuan didn't know how long it had been since they entered the field, but her spirit value had dropped to the critical value of 60.

Xie Xuan had a splitting headache. She injected herself with two tranquilizers before falling into the cycle of amnesia again.

It was like a drowning person being suddenly pulled out of the water and given oxygen. Xie Xuan's head still hurt terribly, but he was conscious.

The scene before him finally returned to its original form.
