When Xie Xuan entered, Xiao Yao was shirtless and wiping the blood off his body with biodegradable wipes.
He should have been injected with treatment and the wound has almost healed, but a wound can still be vaguely seen on his waist.
Hearing the sound of the car door opening, Xiao Yao turned around and saw Xie Xuan. He smiled nonchalantly and said, "Have you finished digesting it?"
Xie Xuan was in no mood to joke with Xiao Yao, "You're injured? Why didn't you tell me in the field?"
Xiao Yao's expression was indifferent. "It's not normal to be injured. You were injured too, but you didn't tell me, did you?"
"I'm different from you." Xie Xuan said, "I can regenerate myself, you know that."
Xiao Yao picked up the empty healing potion that he had just casually placed beside him, shook it in front of Xie Xuan, and said, "I can regenerate, too."
He took two steps closer to Xie Xuan, leaned over and threw the blood-stained wipes and the shell of treatment agent in his hand into the trash can behind Xie Xuan.
"It's okay, we just used up three bottles of healing potion at once. I just discussed it with Ji Lan. Team 18's RV and the supplies on it are all destroyed, but Team 17 is about to return the same way. We can take half of the supplies on their RV as supplies."
Xie Xuan recalled that her ability had detected that Xiao Yao's life force seemed to be approaching, so she asked, "When were you injured?"
"Before I met you," Xiao Yao said, "I was stabbed twice by someone disguised as you."
Xie Xuan felt that being stabbed once was understandable, "How could you be stabbed twice?"
"I thought you attacked me because of a hallucination you had before, but I said I was real, and you stabbed me again, specifically in the kidneys, and almost killed me."
Xie Xuan: …
Xie Xuan felt that Xiao Yao was sometimes strong and reliable, but sometimes inexplicably offline.
She reached out and patted Xiao Yao's shoulder. "Next time, you can stab me first. I can regenerate and I'm not afraid of being stabbed."
At this moment, the car door opened again. Chongming walked in and saw Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao standing intimately together. He smiled sarcastically and said, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Xie Xuan turned around without feeling uncomfortable and asked Chongyun, "Are the people from Team 17 awake?"
Chongming nodded, "The situation isn't too good. Ji Lan wants you to come over and discuss it together."
Xie Xuan walked away, and when she reached the door, she turned around and said to Xiao Yao, "Put on new protective clothing before you come out."
After getting off the car, it was still pitch black outside. The mycelium on the ground had completely withered, and the air was still filled with a lingering smell of corruption.
In the originally silent forest, faint sounds like animal calls could be heard.
The fungi have their own territorial awareness just like wild animals, and now that the king of this area has been killed by them, other fungi and infected animals are beginning to stir.
It may not be safe to stay here any longer.
Chongming was acting sarcastic when they were in the car, but when he was alone with Xie Xuan, he didn't say a word.
"So it wasn't just a coincidence that I worked in your convenience store before?" Xie Xuan asked.
"What do you think?" Chongming asked back.
After he finished speaking, he took two steps and got on the car of Team 17. Xie Xuan had no choice but to follow him.
Among the five people who were originally lying quietly in the car, one of them was dancing with an expression of pain, and uttering some unclear syllables from time to time.
"What happened?" Xie Xuan asked.
Ding Qiaoyun, who was standing by the man, said, "The aftereffects of the mental infection are quite severe. I just got two injections of tranquilizers, but they didn't have much effect."
In addition to this person, the people around Yang Jiayue took off their helmets and coughed out blood foam mixed with dried mycelium from time to time.
"This is an infection. Some of the body's organs have become mycelium. Even if you take treatment, it won't heal." Ding Qiaoyun said before Xie Xuan asked.
Therapeutic agents essentially accelerate the regeneration of cells themselves, but if the cells are unable to regenerate, the therapeutic agents will not work.
Now, among the five people in Team 17, only these two can be considered to have woken up from their coma, but the first people who woke up were in such a bad condition, not to mention those who woke up later.
Xie Xuan's heart slowly sank.
At this moment, Ji Lan's voice rang out from Team 17's car, "This is Ji Lan, please report the current situation on Route 17."
When Ding Qiaoyun finished telling Ji Lan about the situation of Team 17, the car door opened again and Xiao Yao, who had changed into a new protective suit, got into the car.
"Is Team 19 here?" Ji Lan asked.
"Everyone is here." Xie Xuan replied.
Xiao Yao closed the car door and walked to the dining table to find a seat.
"Team 19, I'd like you to temporarily camp here with Team 17. I've already contacted the staff at the nearest outpost outside the C7 wall. They'll arrive at your location in about two hours. Afterwards, the staff will escort Team 17 safely back inside the wall. You will wait until daybreak and continue along Team 18's route."
Xie Xuan said with a bit of surprise: "Shall we just switch to Route 18?"
"That's right. I'll send you the details for Route 18 later. Any other questions?"
"No."
Ji Lan said, "Thank you for your hard work. You will receive communications from the station outside the C7 wall later. Remember to respond promptly."
After the call was disconnected, Chongming was the first to stand up and said, "I'll go get our car over here."
Ding Qiaoyun looked at Xie Xuan and said, "You and Xiao Yao should go and rest first. Yang Jiayue and I will wait here for the people stationed outside the wall to arrive."
Xie Xuan was a little worried.
Yang Jiayue said, "It's okay. Mental infection and the infected person won't be too aggressive. Besides, Chongming will come over and wait with us later."
Chongming did not refute, "You should go and rest for a while. We will continue to move forward after dawn. We will still encounter dangers."
Xiao Yao said bluntly: "Then I'll go first. Thank you for your hard work."
Ding Qiaoyun nodded perfunctorily, while Yang Jiayue waved her hand and said, "No, you guys are the ones who have really worked hard."
Chongming, Xiao Yao and Xie Xuan got out of the car. Xie Xuan looked towards the forest. The sounds of infected animals coming from inside became more and more obvious.
Xie Xuan stood still and said, "Zhongming, you and Xiao Yao go over there. I'll wait here."
Of course, Xiao Yao and Chongming could also feel the forest was restless.
"I hope there won't be any accidents on the way to the garrison outside the wall." Xiao Yao said.
