Everything grows.

On the tall trees, the skinless human heads shed tears of blood. Their mouths were open, revealing the hollow space between the throat and the neck. The hollow space made a whimpering sound when the wind blew, as if they were wailing. However, those heads had manic smiles on their faces. The mixture of laughter and crying made people feel creepy.

A huge wave of blood surged in from the front, filled with a strong fishy and corrupt smell. It swept over the heads of the people on the treetops, adding a rosy luster to their already dry faces.

The huge snake in the sky came towards Lu Ban's position, leaving thick, smelly mucus on its body. It rode together with the blood waves, adding fuel to the flames, causing the waves to gradually obscure the crimson sun in the sky and cover everything within Lu Ban's sight.

“This is the disturbance we brought.”

Old Song was not in a hurry. He put away the flashlight and took out a pistol-shaped prop from the backpack behind him.

"Pollution tends to spread to unpolluted areas. We are here, an area with extremely low pollution concentrations, so the pollution will naturally spread here."

The pistol had no trigger and no muzzle. It seemed to be just a piece of silver metal made into the shape of a pistol. Holding it in his hand, Lao Song raised the gun and pointed it at the monsters that were surging towards him.

The next moment, although there was no action of pulling the trigger, Lu Ban felt that he heard a gunshot.

A hole suddenly appeared in the overwhelming wave of monsters, as if it was torn apart by some invisible force. Countless pieces of flesh and blood turned into powder and dissipated into the void.

The surging wave of monsters paused, and the huge hole could not be filled in a short time, and the whole space trembled slightly.

But Lao Song did not stop his actions and fired continuously. With a few silent gunshots, all the monsters gathered in the entire buffer zone were smashed to pieces, and it became as quiet and peaceful as heaven.

In myths and legends, the arrival of angels can quell wars and disasters, but now it seems that these descending angels must all be wearing power armor, holding chainswords, and carrying flamethrowers on their shoulders in order to fight those terrifying and hideous demons.

At the same time, other giants also started to work one after another. They took out some brackets from their backpacks and placed several square boxes on the brackets. It was more like they were starting surveying work rather than preparing to clean up the battlefield.

Some light burst out from those boxes, sweeping across the entire space, along with the crimson sun.

Soon, the box began to make a beeping sound, as if it was collecting data.

"The pollution concentration has increased again. It seems that the core of the pollution needs to be continuously suppressed."

Old Song glanced at the unknown words flashing on the box and quickly came to a conclusion.

Da da da——

The counter on his body began to jump madly, and the frequency had apparently exceeded ten times a second.

"The pollution concentration is rising rapidly. There are still 900 seconds left before breaking through the protection limit."

The giant on the side read out the data.

Along with the ticking sound of the counter, Lu Ban also felt a palpitation in his chest. He could feel certain changes taking place in his body. Under his skin, the worm-like blood vessels continued to expand, and the blood inside had turned into dark yellow pus, flowing to the heart, causing the constantly beating organ to wither.

He could see that in the area separated by the black pillars, even the void had begun to emit nameless spores and grow a gray, sticky fungal blanket.

Just being illuminated by the red sun is enough to radiate enough light to cause mutations in humans.

If knowledge is pollution, it is enough to subvert the common sense of ordinary people. Then here, everything in the deep well is anti-cognition.

When you stare into the abyss, the abyss also stares into you.

Similarly, when you recognize the existence of outer gods, the outer gods have already cast their eyes on you.

Any attempt to understand or analyze the ineffable great existence will lead to disaster.

Only ignorance is the greatest wisdom.

"Don't worry. The data collection will be completed in about a hundred seconds. Just hold on for a while. We will be able to recover once we take you out. Well, that's assuming you can still maintain your will as a human being."

Lao Song said that he was concentrating on collecting data, and would occasionally take the time to fire a shot at those guys to clear obstacles. The giant didn't seem to care about Lu Ban's life or death.

As for Xia, she seemed to have used magic to block her own cognition. She stood next to the equipment like a puppet, moving stiffly from time to time to prevent being stepped on by other giants.

Shia, who can make grown-up books read by themselves, obviously has her own understanding of how to prevent pollution.

Despite this, her body also underwent certain changes. The limbs under the armor swelled slightly, as if they were inflated, but it was only because of the solid steel that the things in her body did not escape.

When near a pollution source, even your mere presence can cause disasters to befall the surrounding areas.

At this time, Lu Ban had to thank his [True Vision]. In this situation, even if he dug out his own eyes, [True Vision] would still present the first-hand pollution information to his brain. Even if it could not be said to be timely assistance, it could be said to be adding fuel to the fire.

He quickly fell to the ground, his body collapsing and limp into a bubbling puddle of flesh.

In this state, Lu Ban's ability to resist pollution has become much stronger.

Just like a person with a normal body needs a lot of effort and time to lose one or two pounds, but a fat person can lose several pounds just by eating one less meal - there is nothing to lose, so naturally they are not afraid of pollution.

Old Song glanced at Lu Ban and thought that this guy was very interesting. Several experimental ideas flashed through his mind.

But he quickly put these thoughts aside, and monitoring data was still the most important thing.

A hundred seconds later, the buffer zone was already boiling like the largest spicy hot pot, with red, white, pink, green and yellow churning up and down, like the limbs of humans and beasts circling in the air, forming one hideous and weird monster after another, which were quickly blasted through by Lao Song's cannon.

In a trance, Lu Ban felt that the pistol in Lao Song's hand had a bit of the flavor of "last words".

The red sun's rays shone on Lu Ban's body, making him feel warm and as if he was back home.

He felt like he was being lifted up, like he was carrying a bag of bubble tea with coconut.

As he swayed, Lu Ban's thoughts flew outside the deep well. He thought of many things and suddenly a doubt came to his mind.

"Huh? Weren't there three people when we came in?"
