But now is not the time to think about these things. Although Xie Xuan's health has returned to full value, there are damages on her protective suit, and now this cold water of unknown composition has begun to pour in.
The helmet alone could be sealed, but her body was frozen in the icy water and she couldn't move it.
Although no one has rated this field, the field that can cause her to hallucinate now is at least C-level or above.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded in Xie Xuan's ears again, "Xie Xuan, are you okay?"
"Not very good." Xie Xuan replied to Xiao Yao, "My protective suit is damaged. Are you swimming upstream?"
Xiao Yao didn't answer, but just said: "I saw you, I'll go over now."
Xie Xuan's body began to suffer from hypothermia, and her body was shaking uncontrollably. It was difficult for her to control herself from sinking, let alone swimming upwards.
Her transparent cage had just been broken and couldn't be used for the time being, and she couldn't just boil the water around it.
Xie Xuan never thought that one day she would suffer a Waterloo in such a situation. It turned out that she underestimated the world outside the wall.
Fortunately, this time Xiao Yao was the real Xiao Yao. After grabbing Xie Xuan, he quickly swam upstream.
I don’t know if it’s because Xiao Yao is a fire-type mutant, but he seems to be completely unaffected by the cold pool water.
After Xie Xuan was brought to the shore by Xiao Yao like a sculpture, Xiao Yao consciously acted as a human fire, holding a ball of fire to warm Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan was still shaking, "Sorry, it's my fault."
Xiao Yao said, "Last time, didn't I say I owed you one chance to lie down and cross the domain? It's not too late for me to make up for it now."
Xie Xuan forced a smile and said, "Forget it."
Xie Xuan, who had recovered a little, began to look around.
The surrounding environment looked very similar to the open space before they entered the field, surrounded by a dark mushroom forest and a small pool behind them.
But apart from the pool of leeches that Xie Xuan saw in the pond just now, there was not a single leech to be seen on the ground.
Xie Xuan looked up at the sky, but there was no moon.
She didn't know why she was reminded of her previous dream, in which the bright moon shattered into pieces and fell towards her.
Xie Xuan temporarily threw these irrelevant things out of his mind and began to think about the whereabouts of Team 17 and Team 18.
The last contact they had with Team 17 was when the team leader said they would go ahead with the rescue, and then there was no news from them.
The domain can block the communication between people inside and outside the domain. Inside the wall, because Bai Ze's function is more powerful, the Ecological Bureau can convey instructions through Bai Ze, but outside the wall, there is no Ecological Bureau as a relay, so this function is also missing.
But now that they have all entered the field, they should theoretically be able to contact Team 17.
"Team 17, can you hear me?" Xie Xuan asked tentatively.
But they waited for half a minute and asked three or four times, but there was no response.
"The area outside the wall is complicated. We and Team 17, or even Team 17 and Team 18, are not entering the same area," Xiao Yao said.
Xie Xuan asked curiously, "But doesn't it mean that different bacterial species can't coexist in a small area?"
Xiao Yao's research was more thorough than Xie Xuan's. "That's inside the wall. Each bacterial species can only rely on the host as a single life source to build its territory. But outside the wall, infected organisms are everywhere. The same bacterial species can have many hosts, so it's entirely possible for open territories to overlap."
"In that case, doesn't that mean our rescue is meaningless?" Xie Xuan frowned.
"Of course not," Xiao Yao said. "No matter how many domains this strain has constructed, it is the core of all of them. It must be at the intersection of all of them. As long as the strain is destroyed, all of the domains will collapse, and we can rescue Team 17 and Team 18 together."
Xie Xuan was almost able to control her body. She simply took off the shoes of her protective suit, poured some water on them, and put them back on.
"You make a lot of sense," Xie Xuan said. "Let's go find some fungus."
But where is the strain?
Xie Xuan once again looked at the environment she was in. Everything was motionless, like a static picture.
There was no wind, but one could smell a strong stench of decay and water, just like outside the area.
According to common sense, this pool is obviously the most likely place for the bacteria to hide, but in the area outside the wall, we absolutely cannot think according to common sense.
At this moment, Xie Xuan suddenly noticed the place where she had poured out the water.
The ground was very dry, not like it had just been watered.
Xie Xuan lowered her head and looked at herself again. The surface of the protective suit was waterproof, but no matter how good the treatment was, it would not be possible for the traces of coming out of the water to disappear in such a short time.
Xiao Yao was still looking for clues when he turned around and saw Xie Xuan taking off the shoes from her protective suit.
"Even though your protective suit is torn, don't be like this..."
Xiao Yao stopped talking before he finished speaking, because he saw that Xie Xuan's pants were completely dry, without any signs of being wet.
While it is possible to leave no traces of mud and protective clothing, it is impossible for pants soaked in water to remain completely dry.
Unless the water in this pool is not water at all, they were mentally infected from the very beginning and had severe hallucinations.
You have to know that they are all top-notch A-level psychics. In the last B-level mission that Xie Xuan participated in, she was infected by the mind and lost her memory so many times. However, Wen Xu and Zhuo Guangyu, who are also A-level psychics, did not even have hallucinations. You can imagine what level this field should be.
But why didn’t they see such an A-level fungus species on the sand table displayed by Yang Jiayue’s supernatural power just now?
"Something's going to go wrong." Xiao Yao said, "This is an A-level area. I should have asked Chongming to come with us."
Xie Xuan didn't think so. "There's a high possibility that Chongming and the others will be dragged into the domain. If Chongming really follows us, it would be a disaster."
She put her protective suit back on and turned to look at the calm pool. "Now we should think about how to break our illusion."
Last time in the B-level area, after Xie Xuan broke into the so-called passage, he knew that he was dreaming and experienced countless painful cycles of suicide and being killed.
The illusion within the field cannot be easily resolved by just slapping yourself, but Xie Xuan now has a method that just works.
She half-knelt down, and the black mist that appeared around her again followed her hand and fell into the pool as if it had substance.
The originally calm pool began to produce more and more ripples out of thin air after coming into contact with the black fog.
