Qiao He frowned slightly. When did this mushroom appear?
How could she not remember? She had clearly been paying attention to the changes in the plants around her, and had even focused her gaze on them. For some scenes that the plants could see, she only needed to use her special abilities slightly to achieve visual empathy with them.
But where did this crushed mushroom come from?
Qiao He found it strange. She stared at the mushroom for a long time, even putting her senses into it, and finally realized that it was just an ordinary mushroom.
Bo Shiwu asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
He stayed close to Qiao He in case they encountered danger and he couldn't protect her in time.
Qiao He gently shook her head. "It's nothing."
It was just an ordinary mushroom, and Qiao He didn't pay it any mind.
They continued walking, and Qiao He was mentally prepared for the long journey ahead.
If you can't finish the journey in one day, then take two days, or even a week or half a month.
One day we will be able to walk out of here.
As they ventured deeper into the forest, Qiao He suddenly noticed that the branches of the trees overhead were incredibly lush, completely dominating the sky. Most importantly, the branches above were constantly intertwining and growing, resembling one green python after another, which caused severe psychological discomfort after looking at it for a while.
The light was gradually decreasing, and the acid rain was becoming less and less. They could hardly see the acid rain around them anymore, as it was all blocked by the branches of the plants.
Even so, Qiao He did not ask everyone to take off their protective suits, because there was sometimes miasma in the forest.
These are the so-called toxic gases produced by the decay of unidentified organisms, or the toxic gases emitted by certain plants. Some of these gases may harm the human body, while others may cause hallucinations.
The helmet of the protective suit has a filtration system that can effectively filter out corrosive gases from acid rain, as well as miasma from the forest.
The surroundings were extremely quiet; Qiao He could only hear the sound of their footsteps.
Dada——
Dada——
Everyone remained silent, constantly on guard, wondering what might attack them from their surroundings.
But at some point, Qiao He started to feel an itch on her back, as if there was sweat stuck inside, or as if she hadn't showered for a long time.
strangeness?
She clearly took a proper shower in the RV and didn't go to any dirty or messy places, so why was she itchy?
Qiao He looked puzzled. She endured the strange itching and continued walking forward.
The journey was incredibly boring, but Qiao He didn't know what to say to everyone, so she could only keep walking forward with her head down.
Bo Shiwu led the way, followed by Qiao He, then the kittens, and finally Shen Huai and Li Zong.
This is their forward formation, their purpose being to prioritize the protection of the kittens.
After all, it was all Qiao He's fate.
She walked on for an unknown amount of time, and the itching on her back became increasingly unbearable. Qiao He felt increasingly strange; this shouldn't be happening...
What exactly is inside her protective suit?
Could it be that an insect got inside?
However, the protective suit made by Shen Tang was completely seamless, so not even a needle could get in, let alone an insect.
Besides, there are hardly any insects in the forest, and it seems like there are no animals at all.
Qiao He couldn't help but reach out and scratch her back, but at that instant, her pupils trembled slightly, and a strange sensation came from her fingertips...
Soft and elastic.
But it's not the texture of skin.
And most importantly, it seems like something is about to grow.
Qiao He froze completely as she felt something inhuman on her back.
That wasn't meat; if you had to describe what it resembled, it was more like the mushrooms she had trampled earlier.
Qiao He was startled by her own imagination. She subconsciously touched it again, and this time her back was completely flat with nothing on it.
Was it really just a hallucination?
Qiao He felt something was off. She was thinking of stopping here, turning over the RV, taking a shower, and checking on things.
But Qiao He soon realized that she was being pretentious, since no one else reacted.
Perhaps it was just an illusion.
Qiao He lowered her voice and said to them, "There might be miasma in the forest, so everyone be careful. If anything unusual happens, report it immediately."
Bo Shiwu turned the question around and asked her, "What's wrong? Ahe, are you hallucinating?"
Qiao He paused for a moment before saying softly, "I felt an itch on my back just now, I didn't know what was wrong, but it's gone now."
Shen Huai hurriedly asked, "Itchy? That's strange. Why don't we stop and rest for a bit, so you can check your back for anything after you get into the RV?"
Qiao He touched her back again, but there was nothing there.
"Maybe it's just my imagination. Let's keep going. I have a feeling this place isn't safe," Qiao He said softly. She genuinely felt unsafe, driven by a primal instinct.
Bo Shiwu said in a deep voice, "Let's leave here first."
No one objected, and they quickened their pace.
Li Zong was almost exhausted following behind. He didn't have the stamina and special abilities of Bo Shiwu and Chen Huai. His special ability was reconnaissance-type, not offensive.
My physical condition isn't that good either, so it's already quite an achievement that I can keep up now.
But at that moment, Li Zong suddenly noticed a small mushroom growing on the back of his foot.
Those were very inconspicuous mushrooms growing on rotten wood; you really wouldn't notice them if you didn't look closely.
The mushroom lay securely on the outside of Li Zong's protective suit, surrounded by clean soil and nothing else.
It was so clean that it looked as if it had just grown out.
Most importantly, there was only one mushroom stuck to Li Zong's instep.
When was it installed?
strangeness.
Thankfully, I had protective clothing; otherwise, it would have been even more disgusting if it had stuck to my shoes.
Li Zong didn't pay attention, crushed the mushroom, and then moved it aside.
He strode forward, afraid that he would fall behind and get lost in the forest.
If it gets lost, that would be terrible.
He couldn't possibly survive alone in this primeval forest-like place.
Qiao He didn't stop until she had walked a long way.
A fine layer of sweat appeared on her forehead, and she said, slightly out of breath, "Let's do it here. The branches at the top aren't that lush yet."
Bo Shiwu nodded: "Okay."
The next moment, Qiao He released the RV from the space.
Fortunately, there is enough open space here to make the caravan station stable.
As soon as she entered the RV, Qiao He breathed a sigh of relief. The RV that Shen Tang had given her was now being used as her little home.
