Ding Qiaoyun was no longer looking at the moon in the water, she was looking at the residential buildings on the roadside.
The layout of the city here is similar to that of the cities I am familiar with. There are shops along the street, and residential buildings above and behind the shops.
And in the dark residential building, a little white light suddenly appeared.
Xie Xuan was very familiar with this white light; it was the lighting on the protective suit helmet.
It must be Yang Jiayue, she actually ran into the residential building!
"Go find someone." Xie Xuan said without hesitation.
Not to mention that the moon in the water is not necessarily a breakthrough to leave this area. Yang Jiayue has almost no combat capability and is now infected by the spirit. He will not be able to hold on for long after being left alone.
Moreover, it seemed like the domain was intentionally using Yang Jiayue to lure them into the residential building, as perhaps they could only find clues there.
Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian had no objection.
Ding Qiaoyun's mental state is not very good. As the only two B-level psychics in the team, her resistance to the mental infection in this field is also very poor.
"How about knocking Ding Qiaoyun out directly?" Xiao Yao suggested, "I'll carry her on my back."
"Okay." Song Zhixian coughed twice.
Xie Xuan did not object. In this situation, knocking Ding Qiaoyun unconscious would reduce the burden on the team.
Ding Qiaoyun was still looking at the lights on the residential building and did not make any other reaction until she was knocked unconscious by Xiao Yao.
The residential building with lights on was on the opposite side of the road, which meant they had to cross the road full of red nematodes.
Generally speaking, red nematodes are harmless to humans, but seeing that the people here are very careful about walking on the streets at night, it is obvious that these red nematodes are definitely not harmless.
Xie Xuan’s first goal now was to find Yang Jiayue. She did not waste time crossing the road. She directly put them all in a transparent cage and controlled the cage to float across the road.
The water level has risen to a height close to the sidewalk, but the water seems to be still overflowing from the sewer. Ripples are constantly spreading on the water surface, and beneath the ripples are twisting red nematodes.
Xie Xuan tried hard not to let her eyes be attracted by the water's edge, but when she reached the other side, her eyes were inevitably attracted by these red nematodes.
The water level had risen to just above the sidewalk, and human figures were slowly emerging from the water, writhing.
First the head, then the body, and finally the legs.
But their bodies are made entirely of red nematodes, and from a distance they look like rough, life-size, furry dolls.
Xie Xuan got goosebumps all over her body. She didn't stop and immediately started running towards the residential building where the lights had just appeared after reaching the other side of the street.
There was already a thin layer of water on the sidewalk. Xie Xuan felt a little sticky when she stepped into the water. It was difficult for her to tell whether it was due to the water itself or the red nematodes in the water.
She suddenly began to feel a little itchy in her body again, as if there were red nematodes in her blood vessels flowing through her blood.
All the intact red nematode people who had just emerged from the water also began to walk towards Xie Xuan and the others.
They walked very slowly at first, even stumbling a little, like babies who were just learning to walk, but soon they began to walk fast or even jog.
They were moving faster and faster, and Xie Xuan couldn't find the entrance to the residential building behind, so he smashed the glass door of a shop.
Amid the crisp sound of breaking glass, Xie Xuan seemed to hear footsteps coming from upstairs.
This is a clothing store. Xie Xuan had been here during the day, but didn't see any entrance to the upper floors.
Xie Xuan, Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian quickly dispersed in the store to look for clues. The store was one step higher than the sidewalk outside, and the water had not yet flooded in.
The red nematode people who were chasing them did not come in. They all crowded on the threshold outside the shop, standing in the water and watching them quietly.
They couldn't move out of the water, but the water was about to flood into the store.
"Here!" Song Zhixian said, "There's a hole in the ceiling."
Xie Xuan and Xiao Yao walked over immediately and found that there was indeed a spot on the ceiling behind the cash register that was a different color from the ones next to it.
The ceiling is very high, at least three meters, but this is not a problem for Xie Xuan and the others.
Xie Xuan used the same trick again, turning the transparent cage into an uncovered box, lifted them up, and then pulled open the board.
Behind this opening, which is only about one meter by one meter, is a corridor that looks very ordinary.
Xie Xuan was the first to go up. When Xiao Yao pushed Ding Qiaoyun on his back, water flooded into the store.
As the ground became wet, the red nematode people outside the door began to swarm in, but their range of movement was still limited to the area covered by water.
Xie Xuan quickly pulled Ding Qiaoyun up, followed by Xiao Yao, and finally when it was Song Zhixian's turn, the red nematode man had already grabbed the transparent cage.
Where their hands were covering, gaps began to appear in the cage, as if something had gnawed at it.
In just half a minute, the entire bottom of the cage was eaten.
Xie Xuan quickly pulled Song Zhixian up and watched the other half of the cage disappear quickly as if it had melted in the water.
It was horrible. Xie Xuan looked down with lingering fear.
All the red nematode people seemed to be looking up at her. They had no facial features, but under Xie Xuan's gaze, two depressions like eye sockets and a depression with a smile arc like a mouth appeared on their faces.
Xie Xuan was a little dazed at this moment until the scene in front of her was covered by a board by Song Zhixian.
She raised her head, only to see Song Zhixian looking at her with a slightly frown.
Then Song Zhixian changed the helmet to a one-way visible mode, and Xie Xuan saw herself on the helmet in the bright white light.
She was actually smiling, with an expression similar to that of the red nematode man below.
"We have to hurry." Song Zhixian didn't change his helmet to a two-way one. "Xie Xuan, Xiao Yao, always pay attention to your mental state."
The curve of Xie Xuan's lips narrowed. The spiritual infection in this area was even more terrifying than she had imagined.
There were no lights in the corridor, and the architectural style was the same as the old residential area that Xie Xuan was familiar with, with a house on each side of the corridor.
But there were no Spring Festival couplets or anything like that on the doors of these houses; all the doors were the same.
Xie Xuan was still walking in the front, Xiao Yao was carrying Ding Qiaoyun in the middle, and Song Zhixian was at the rear.
After they went up half a floor, Xie Xuan saw a dark shadow flash by in front of her and a white light flickering. Before she could see clearly, the shadow disappeared upstairs.
This field is really using Yang Jiayue to lure them up.
