After an unknown amount of time, the long stretch of pure white stairs in front of them finally came to an end.
At the end of the stairs is an equally pure white platform, on which sits a very exaggerated chair, like a tall throne in a movie.
This chair is also pure white, with nothing on the seat.
Zhou Yuanyuan was the last one to step onto the platform. When she saw the high chair placed abruptly on the platform, she felt a little overwhelmed.
"How could this happen?" Zhou Yuanyuan muttered to herself, "Where is the parasite?"
Xie Xuan had never thought that it would be so easy to find the location of the parasite.
After all, this is a C-level area. If it were so easy to pass, the Ecological Bureau would not require at least two teams to participate in C-level area tasks.
Xie Xuan gently patted Zhou Yuanyuan's shoulder. "Look at the bright side. The spore concentration in the area is no longer increasing. We might be able to wait here for support."
Zhou Yuanyuan nodded. "That's true. This is all we can do now..."
Zhou Yuanyuan stopped talking abruptly, her voice rising sharply, "Captain! What are you doing?!"
Xie Xuan turned around and saw Ling Wenqing actually taking off his helmet!
In a C-level area where the spore concentration reaches 60%, without protective clothing, Ling Wenqing, a D-level mutant, will soon be infected.
"Captain!" Xie Xuan took a few steps forward, grabbed Ling Wenqing's hand and was about to put his helmet back on his head.
But at this moment, Ling Wenqing turned his head and looked at Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank. She clearly saw that black mycelium was rapidly growing in Ling Wenqing's eyes, which were originally black and white.
Almost in an instant, the whites of Ling Wenqing's eyes were completely covered by black mycelium. His originally black pupils shrank into a vertical line like a snake, and countless blood-red mycelium also emerged from under the brown-black iris.
Xie Xuan's hair stood up uncontrollably.
Her hand was still stiffly grasping Ling Wenqing's wrist, but she didn't know whether she should put the helmet back on Ling Wenqing's head.
Ling Wenqing stared at Xie Xuan calmly with his devilish eyes, as if he couldn't feel what was happening to him. He asked, "Xie Xuan, what's wrong?"
Xie Xuan bit the tip of her tongue and forcefully put the helmet back on Ling Wenqing's head.
"Captain! Are you okay?" Zhou Yuanyuan had already arrived in front of them. She looked at Ling Wenqing anxiously, but suddenly froze when she saw Ling Wenqing's eyes.
Ling Wenqing was infected.
But Ling Wenqing seemed to be completely unaware of his own condition and took off the helmet he had just put on with even greater strength.
This time, Ling Wenqing threw his helmet directly down the stairs.
The pure black helmet broke through the light red mist, but this time the mist did not remain motionless as if it was still, but began to slowly gather again.
"It's too stuffy to wear." Ling Wenqing took two deep breaths as if he was suffocated just now.
The surroundings were eerily quiet. Not only had Xie Xuan never encountered such a situation before, even Zhou Yuanyuan was frightened.
Bai Ze's voice suddenly broke the brief silence at this time, "Team 320 Captain Ling Wenqing has been infected and is expected to be fully infected in two minutes and twenty seconds."
After Bai Ze spoke, Ling Wenqing seemed to notice the small mushroom next to his head.
He raised his hand and grabbed the communicator, and in front of Zhou Yuanyuan and Xie Xuan's astonished gazes, he pulled it out of his skin.
The pure white mycelium was pulled out with blood stains, but what came out of the wound was not blood, but pure black mycelium.
Ling Wenqing threw the communicator to the ground, while Xie Xuan's hand was already on his dagger.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, can your ability prevent the captain's infection from getting worse?"
Now only Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan are left in the communication channel of Team 320.
"I don't know. I can only create a bubble to isolate the spores, but I can try."
Ling Wenqing simply ignored them and turned to walk towards the pure white high chair.
Xie Xuan took a deep breath, bent down, and suddenly pounced on Ling Wenqing's back.
After taking off the helmet, Ling Wenqing's back neck was also exposed.
Xie Xuan's goal is to knock Ling Wenqing unconscious.
But Ling Wenqing's movements were faster than Xie Xuan's. It was as if he had eyes on his back. The moment Xie Xuan jumped up, he turned around and stretched out his hand towards Xie Xuan.
Ling Wenqing's movements were so fast that Xie Xuan didn't even see clearly before a huge force grabbed her throat.
The protective suit made of extremely strong special materials made a mournful cry under the weight in Ling Wenqing's hands.
If there was no protective clothing blocking it, Ling Wenqing's blow would have been enough to crush Xie Xuan's larynx.
Xie Xuan didn't expect that being infected by the field would cause such a big change in Ling Wenqing's power. She tried to raise her hand and grab Ling Wenqing's hand before she suffocated.
The button for injecting sedatives on the protective suit was still working, so Xie Xuan pressed it hard.
The sedative took effect immediately, Ling Wenqing's hand loosened, and Xie Xuan immediately hit Ling Wenqing hard on the back of the neck with his backhand.
The demon eye that was staring at Xie Xuan collapsed for a second, and Xie Xuan was already prepared to use the ability of her transparent cage to trap Ling Wenqing.
But maybe it was because the corresponding defense was weakened after the strength was strengthened, but this time it actually worked. Ling Wenqing closed his eyes and fell to the ground.
Xie Xuan touched her aching neck and breathed a sigh of relief.
When Zhou Yuanyuan saw Ling Wenqing being subdued, she immediately stepped forward and used her special abilities to create a transparent bubble to wrap Ling Wenqing inside.
The appearance of this bubble looks very similar to the protective shield they put up before entering the field.
Xie Xuan looked at Zhou Yuanyuan's hand on the bubble and asked, "How long can you maintain this bubble?"
"At most half an hour." Zhou Yuanyuan's voice sounded a little dry. "This is a C-level area. Maintaining this bubble is more difficult than I thought."
Xie Xuan recalled the feeling of using E-level superpowers to drive D-level infected creatures in the previous field. Perhaps the half-hour Zhou Yuanyuan said was too much.
She picked up the communicator on the ground and asked, "Bai Ze, how long will it take for support to arrive?"
"In fifteen minutes."
Xie Xuan was just about to say that they could hold on a little longer when Zhou Yuanyuan suddenly screamed.
"Xie Xuan, look around..."
Xie Xuan raised his head, only to see that the light red mist that had been permeating the area had completely dissipated at some point, leaving only a thick black around him.
And in this thick darkness that seemed to have become substantial, the only place where they stood was spotless pure white.
"The current detected spore concentration is 65%."
The spore concentration began to rise, and Xie Xuan felt more and more uneasy.
