Xie Xuan thought her idea was crazy, but she had nothing to lose now, and this was her last chance to try.
It would be best if she succeeded, but if she failed it would just be another way of dying.
Xie Xuan suddenly relaxed her tense spirit when Wen Xu walked towards her step by step.
If you want to be infected, just give up resistance.
Xie Xuan no longer desperately resisted the intention of this field to modify her memory and will in her heart. Everything here was either fake or real.
Xie Xuan's headache began to ease, but she started to feel dizzy, and her consciousness and memory began to blur.
It’s okay, don’t resist. Xie Xuan kept telling herself in her heart, just become one with this place.
In the dark room, more and more moths were hatching. Under the helmet covered with layers of empty egg shells and mycelium, the blue mycelium had completely covered Xie Xuan's body, even the communicator next to her head was not spared.
The symbiotic spores, sensing that the host is about to die, instinctively seek a last way to survive. They devour the host's body to obtain energy to survive.
But so is Bai Ze.
【Spirit value decreased by 10.】
[Health decreased by 15.]
The health and spirit values on the system panel dropped to 5 at the same time. Xie Xuan's heartbeat and breathing were so slow and weak that they were almost imperceptible.
"Team 7 member Xie Xuan is about to die. We are preparing to intervene."
Bai Ze's voice reached Wen Xu and Zhuo Guangyu's ears coldly, but they didn't have time to mourn for Xie Xuan at the moment.
Because they found that the moths in their room were constantly devouring their own kind, and the more they ate, the bigger they became and the sharper their elongated mouthparts became.
Zhuo Guangyu was caught off guard and pierced in the arm at the beginning. Although the wound had healed under the effect of the therapeutic agent, the damage to the protective suit was quite fatal in the B-level field where the spore concentration had reached more than 60%.
What's even more difficult is that these moths, the largest of which are the size of a ball, are very agile and can fly, so Zhuo Guangyu, who is a close combat type, has no way to deal with them.
Although Wen Xu's situation is better, she can only passively defend herself now. When her special power is exhausted, she will definitely die.
"Let Bai Ze intervene on my behalf." Wen Xu suddenly said, "Bai Ze's last failure was probably because he didn't have enough energy. This domain is supported by the vitality of thousands of humans, but Bai Ze only has the energy of a few. This domain must have used up a lot of energy to trap us and ripen the domain. Xie Xuan, a B-level esper, plus me, an A-level esper, should be enough."
"I disagree," Zhuo Guangyu said immediately. "If anyone needs to intervene, it should be me. I'm already injured and infected. Even if we don't intervene now, we won't be able to find a way out and will have to intervene again later. It's better to do it now."
Just as Wen Xu and Zhuo Guangyu were arguing, Bai Ze's voice reached their ears again, "Team 7 member Xie Xuan's vital signs have returned to normal. The intervention failed."
Xie Xuan's consciousness sank into darkness.
She felt like she was floating in mid-air, but also like she was floating in water. She felt like her body was a container, with something pouring in and something flowing out.
The concept of time has become unimportant at this time, and she even began to lose a clear perception of her own existence.
Who is she? Where is she? None of this matters.
Xie Xuan felt that her soul was as light as her body. She didn't know how much time had passed before the things flowing in her body finally stopped slowly. Her body suddenly became heavy and began to fall rapidly.
But she soon fell to the ground. Xie Xuan opened her eyes, but it was still dark around her.
However, this darkness is not the kind where you can't see anything, but rather the darkness after night falls.
In the dim light, Xie Xuan saw two small mushrooms growing in front of her.
One is in the shape of a pure white mushroom, and looks like a communicator worn on her head; the other is in the shape of a blue toadstool that emits a faint glow, and looks like the symbiotic spores in her body.
So now it's just like when the symbiotic spores entered her dream before, a place similar to the space of consciousness?
If that's the case, then what about this mushroom that looks like Bai Ze?
While Xie Xuan was still confused, the surroundings suddenly became brighter, just like the sunrise after a long night. The darkness slowly dissipated and the scene in front of him turned white.
Xie Xuan opened her eyes, but found that it was still pitch black.
Xie Xuan: ...What is going on?

As Xie Xuan sat up, Wen Xu's voice came to her ears, "Xie Xuan? Are you awake? Can you hear me?"
Xie Xuan tore off the layer of unknown object covering her body and replied, "I'm awake and can hear. What's going on now?"
Wen Xu breathed a sigh of relief. "It's good that he's awake. We're guessing the parasite is at the exit above our heads, but the moths here become very aggressive after devouring their own kind, and we haven't found a way to get up yet."
Xie Xuan turned on the light on his helmet. There were still some mycelium and egg shells that had not been pulled out clean on the transparent helmet, but Xie Xuan did not see the so-called aggressive big moth.
However, considering the true superpowers that he had awakened, these moths should have made a great contribution to restoring his mental and health values to the critical health value.
"Okay, let me try it." Xie Xuan couldn't wait to try out his new ability.
Since the system says it can swallow, it probably means it can swallow anything and is not picky about food.
Everything within the domain is essentially made up of the vitality of the domain's parasites and infected people, and should be able to be directly devoured.
Xie Xuan recalled the feeling of something constantly flowing in and out of her body, allowing her supernatural powers to slowly flow out.
Under the bright light of the helmet, Xie Xuan clearly saw black mist spreading from his side. The mist seemed to be highly corrosive. Once it touched the wall, the wall became bumpy. At the same time, the black mist became condensed.
