At this moment, the platform they were standing on suddenly shook, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the pure white ground. A huge crack suddenly appeared between Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan.
The place where Xie Xuan was standing began to sink rapidly. She had no time to think and directly used her transparent cage on Zhou Yuanyuan and Ling Wenqing.
Almost in the next second, the platform under Xie Xuan's feet completely shattered, and the feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit her, and she fell directly into the endless darkness.
"Xie Xuan! Are you okay?" Zhou Yuanyuan's anxious voice came to my ears.
Xie Xuan just fell to the ground.
She seemed to have fallen into a soft grass, but the sound of mushrooms bursting told her clearly that this was not a grassy field, but a mushroom field.
"I'm fine." Xie Xuan didn't fall very seriously.
"How are you guys? I used my powers on you. This transparent cage can withstand all physical attacks. Protect the captain. I'm going to meet up with you now."
Zhou Yuanyuan and the unconscious Ling Wenqing felt like they were in a giant hamster ball floating on the lake. In the thick darkness, the transparent cage was emitting a faint, almost invisible fluorescence.
In the dark and silent world, the existence of this cage gave Zhou Yuanyuan a great sense of security.
Zhou Yuanyuan licked her dry lips and said, "Okay. Be careful."
Xie Xuan responded with an "OK" and turned on the flashlight on his helmet.
The white light only dispelled the darkness in a small area in front of Xie Xuan, but the scene it revealed was creepy enough.
She was standing in a patch of waist-high black mushrooms.
The pure black mushroom stem is slender, with a fist-sized cap on the top. In the middle of the cap is a circular blood-red spot, and in the middle of the spot is a narrow black vertical stripe.
Exactly the same as Ling Wenqing's eyes, they looked like countless pairs of demonic eyes.
And now all these demon eyes are quietly staring at Xie Xuan.
In the thick darkness, Xie Xuan could inexplicably see the blood-red eyes that were spread all over the area, and all of these eyes were looking at her without exception.
She was being watched.
These eyes were clearly looking up at her, but Xie Xuan had a vague feeling that she was being looked down upon.
She should be an ant buried in the dirt, with the gods watching over her.
Xie Xuan's thoughts began to blur.
Suddenly she was startled, and before she knew it, she had fallen to her knees on the ground.
The broken eyes of the mushroom she had just crushed were still staring at her.
The field was trying to infect her mentally.
Xie Xuan bit the tip of her tongue hard and found that her mental level had dropped to 90 without her noticing.
"Zhou Yuanyuan, don't turn on the flashlight." Xie Xuan immediately said to Zhou Yuanyuan.
Zhou Yuanyuan quickly answered her, "You ignored me no matter how I called out to you. I was almost scared to death. I didn't fire. The captain must have been hit by something he saw earlier. I don't have the strength to fight right now. You have to at least ensure the safety of me and the captain."
Xie Xuan deeply agreed.
Just now, she actually wanted to worship a mushroom as a god uncontrollably. It was no surprise that Ling Wenqing threw his helmet after being infected by the spirit.
Xie Xuan kept in touch with Zhou Yuanyuan from time to time while brushing away the strange mushrooms and walking forward.
The surroundings were still very quiet. Apart from the sound of Xie Xuan constantly crushing the mushrooms, there was no other sound in this area.
Suddenly, a familiar, low cry broke the silence.
The voice was very close to Xie Xuan, as if it was right behind her.
But Xie Xuan had just walked in from behind, and she was sure that there was nothing there except mushrooms before.
Xie Xuan's breathing unconsciously became lighter. She gripped the dagger tightly and slowly turned around.
The flashlight brushed away a small patch of darkness, and a naked woman appeared among the crushed mushrooms.
She knelt on the ground with her hands behind her back, her eyes red from crying. She looked at Xie Xuan with disheveled hair and face, making vague "wooooo" sobbing sounds.
But what was even more terrifying was that there were two black horizontal lines on her face, and her facial features looked very inconsistent, as if different parts were cut from different people's faces and randomly pieced together.
Not only her face, but her body as well, was covered with black stripes that looked like they were crudely pieced together.
"Wuwuwu..." The woman opened her mouth without teeth or tongue, and saliva flowed out of the dark hole inside.
Xie Xuan has seen her.
To be more precise, Xie Xuan had seen these eyes and this nose.
Xie Xuan got goosebumps, but she still walked towards this sudden infection.
She couldn't just keep walking around here aimlessly. No matter why this woman suddenly appeared, she would at least be a breakthrough.
Seeing Xie Xuan approaching, the woman became even more excited, but she remained motionless, as if trapped by something.
After getting closer, Xie Xuan saw that the woman's hands, legs and feet behind her back were all tightly bound by black mycelium.
"Xie Xuan, have you found anything over there?" Zhou Yuanyuan asked.
"I found a woman," Xie Xuan replied. "Do you know what the owner of this villa does?"
Xie Xuan had just asked casually without any hope, but she didn't expect Zhou Yuanyuan to actually know.
"He's a somewhat famous philanthropist around here. His name seems to be Xue Yunfei. He owns a private hospital known for its convalescent services. It's said that in order to provide more humane care and more jobs, there are no robots in the sanatorium. Instead, they employ unemployed, impoverished women as caregivers..."
When Zhou Yuanyuan said this, she suddenly realized that something was wrong.
"The female sculpture we just saw..." Zhou Yuanyuan was horrified.
"It's possible that they are all infected people involved." Xie Xuan said as he cut off all the black mycelium that trapped the woman.
Zhou Yuanyuan cursed softly, "There are so many people who die silently from the infection every year. Even if there were a few more, it wouldn't attract any attention."
Xie Xuan didn't respond and took a step back with the knife in hand.
The woman who regained her freedom seemed to have completely forgotten how to walk upright. She actually supported herself on the ground with her hands and crawled in the other direction like a dog.
Xie Xuan took a deep breath and managed to suppress the anger in her heart. "When I get out, I'm going to blow this hypocritical beast's hospital to the sky."
Zhou Yuanyuan didn't know what Xie Xuan had seen, but she was silent for a few seconds before whispering, "His hospital is one of the specially approved research institutes that cooperate with ecological organizations. Not to mention us ordinary interns, even the Ecological Bureau will try their best to avoid conflicts with them."
"Then let's blow up the ecological organization as well." Xie Xuan said in a flat tone.
Zhou Yuanyuan really wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing.
