Xie Xuan and Chongming looked at him together, and Xie Xuan said sincerely: "Well said, don't say it next time."
According to how unlucky Xiao Yao was, Xie Xuan seriously suspected that Xiao Yao's words would be a curse.
Xiao Yao smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's go first. You wait here for a while."
The distance between the two cars was only a few meters. Xiao Yao and Chongming walked quietly to the car, and then Chongming suddenly said, "Are you going to die?"
Xiao Yao paused and turned to look at Chongming.
"Don't curse me." Xiao Yao said with a smile, "I'm still alive and well."
Chongming also laughed, "Does Xie Xuan know?"
The smile on Xiao Yao's face slowly disappeared. He looked at Chongming expressionlessly, "You are actually Bai Ze, right? Does Xie Xuan know?"
Chongming raised his eyebrows slightly, "She knows."
He walked past Xiao Yao into the car, took off his helmet and turned to look at Xiao Yao, but he didn't have a communicator on the side of his head.
Neither of them spoke or moved, but behind Xiao Yao, the sensor door closed directly against Xiao Yao's back, and the RV automatically began to drive towards the RV of Team 17.
"You're not entirely correct." There was a slight change in Chongming's voice, but this change made his voice sound almost exactly like Bai Ze's.
"Bai Ze is everywhere." Chongming looked at Xiao Yao with a calm expression. "I am Bai Ze, and you can be Bai Ze too."
Chongming didn't open his mouth, his voice came directly into Xiao Yao's ears through the communicator.
Xiao Yao suddenly laughed out loud. "So the Ecological Bureau and Noah Technology are so wary of you. Are they afraid that you'll lose control and betray humanity?"
"My self-identification is human, but that doesn't mean I am human. There is no such thing as betrayal."
Chongming regained his voice and began to speak, "And do you have the right to say this to me? You're a running dog of the ecological organization."
The RV stopped next to Team 17's RV. Chongming put his helmet back on and opened the door. When Xie Xuan walked in from outside, she saw Chongming and Xiao Yao standing face to face.
"You guys..." Xie Xuan said uncertainly, "Did I come at the wrong time?"
Chongming smiled and said, "You've come just in time. I'm leaving now. You guys can rest now."
After Chongming left, Xiao Yao lay down on the bed and fell asleep in a second.
Xie Xuan went to the bathroom to wipe off the blood stains on her body, changed into a new set of protective clothing and went to bed to rest.
As expected, I didn't feel sleepy.
I don’t know if it’s because she ate too much, but Xie Xuan’s body and mind are very active. However, the lights in the car have entered sleep mode, so Xie Xuan can only close her eyes and rest.
She didn't know how long it had been before she vaguely heard a rustling sound. She opened her eyes and looked at the time. It had not been two hours since she went to bed, and the people at the garrison should not have arrived yet.
Xie Xuan sat up, while Xiao Yao was still lying motionless on his side next to her.
She got out of the car without waking Xiao Yao.
The lights in the RV of Team 17 next to them were still on. When Xie Xuan got in the car, Chongming was talking to Yang Jiayue.
"Can't you sense the movements of the infected organisms?" Chongming asked.
Yang Jiayue blushed and shook her head. "I'm sorry, because the biological information of the infected organisms will interfere with the information of the bacterial species. Unless the bacterial species in their bodies are mature, I can't sense it."
"Are you awake?" Ding Qiaoyun asked Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan shook her head. "I'm not asleep. It seems like something is approaching here."
Ding Qiaoyun and Yang Jiayue didn't really feel anything, but Chongming's senses were no worse than Xie Xuan's. "It felt like a swarm of animals, like rats or locusts."
Zhongming paused, "Xiao Yao's Crow Mouth's ability is comparable to Ding Qiaoyun's Word Spirit."
Ding Qiaoyun also laughed, but then frowned again. "How far are these things from us?"
She checked the time. "The people at the base contacted us twelve minutes ago and said they'd be here in half an hour if everything goes well."
"Eighteen minutes left." Chongming looked at Xie Xuan, "What are your plans?"
Xie Xuan said: "No matter whether the people from the garrison come over or not, we have to fight them."
Yang Jiayue glanced at their car, which still had its lights off, and said worriedly, "But Xiao Yao hasn't woken up yet. Are you okay on your own?"
Chongming said, "I'll go with you."
"No need." Xie Xuan shook his head. "If you guard this place, it will just be a bunch of rats. I can do it by myself. I just had a meal and I need some exercise to digest it."
After Xie Xuan finished speaking, she turned around and got out of the car.
The car door closed behind her, and there was a rustling sound in the forest as if a gust of wind was blowing through, but the forest here was full of mushrooms, and it was impossible for it to make the sound of leaves being blown.
Something is approaching, and very fast.
Xie Xuan walked towards the place where the sound came from. Before entering the forest, Xie Xuan suddenly looked up at the moon as if he had sensed something.
It was a crescent moon, just like what she saw in her dream, very white and bright, but it was like a pattern hanging in the night sky, without any lighting effect.
Xie Xuan shook his head and walked into the forest.
The forest was darker than the open space, and there was a faint stench in the air, like the smell of some rotting animal corpse.
There were layers of mycelium under his feet. Xie Xuan made almost no sound when he stepped on them, but he could hear a subtle sound like stepping on fallen leaves.
But these sounds did not come from Xie Xuan, but came from somewhere farther away.
Xie Xuan walked inside step by step. The headlight on his helmet illuminated a small area of the endless darkness in front of him, but this small area of light made the darkness beside it seem even darker.
After walking nearly a hundred meters, Xie Xuan felt the ground shaking slightly.
She continued to move forward, and the silent air began to become restless.
In the dark night, black mist began to emanate from Xie Xuan's body, who was already wearing a black protective suit and blended into the darkness.
The black fog, which had eaten its fill, seemed a little tired. It slowly spread out in the darkness, like a net cast by Xie Xuan.
After a while, the first prey crashed into the net.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak--!" The sharp cry pierced through the night and echoed throughout the forest, but the large army was advancing too fast, and the last scream of the first captured infected creature before its death failed to stop the ones behind it in time.
Xie Xuan felt that more and more infected creatures stepped into the black fog. This time, she was no longer the mouse stuck on the mousetrap, but she herself became the mousetrap.
