At times like this, staying awake is a very painful thing.
Xie Xuan could feel red nematodes crawling all over her body. She felt like she had turned into a piece of tofu, and the inside of the tofu had been eaten away by the worms, leaving it riddled with holes.
But not only did she have to endure the strange feeling of itchiness and pain in her body, she also had to face Yang Jiayue who was smiling at her in the crowd.
She is not a qualified captain.
Whether inside or outside the wall, within the ecological system, or in other words, everyone living in this broken and distorted era is accustomed to separation and death.
People are used to the fact that the person who is chatting and laughing with them at the next workstation today will turn into a ball of rotten and dried mycelium tomorrow.
But Xie Xuan couldn't get used to it.
Although her original life was also filled with death and killing, everyone was on the opposite side. She had no friends or teammates and was always alone.
Here she has friends and teammates, first Ling Wenqing and Zhou Yuanyuan, and later Xiao Yao.
Those who had fought alongside her were generous in showing her kindness, a strange emotion that had made her subconsciously avoid the death of her teammates until the last second.
Ling Wenqing died, Zhou Yuanyuan died, Xiang Zihan died, and Tian Kaikang also died.
She had always pretended that she didn't care about their deaths, and like everyone around her, she tried to become numb and silent about the deaths of her teammates.
But she couldn't do it, she was just running away.
Now, Yang Jiayue is also going to die.
Maybe she is actually dead. Is it a human soul or a bunch of worms that can only wriggle under this body now?
Xie Xuan's heartbeat was so fast that she felt suffocated. Her heart ached, as if it was being tightened by something.
All she could hear was the "thump, thump, thump" sound of her heartbeat. Her mind was blank and she couldn't think of anything.
Xie Xuan felt very hot, but she seemed to no longer be able to feel her own body. Her body was like a piece of butter slowly melting in high temperature.
But she wasn't melting, her powers were out of control.
An unprecedentedly thick black fog flowed out from Xie Xuan's body like some kind of sticky liquid. The red nematode people standing around Xie Xuan began to dissolve almost the moment they were touched by the black fog.
Just like Xie Xuan's transparent cage was eaten by red nematodes, the black fog poured out from Xie Xuan's iron barrel full of oil and began to pollute the surrounding water surface. Once contaminated by such pollution, the red nematode people would quickly shrink and fall into the black fog like a punctured balloon.
The silent terror is beginning to spread.
Back to five minutes ago, Song Zhixian originally thought that the red nematodes that crawled out of the water would have a heartbeat after having a complete human skin, so they could be easily killed.
They did have heartbeats after eating the other "people", and they did fall down after Song Zhixian crushed their hearts.
But there were red nematodes everywhere in the water, which burrowed into the bodies of these "people" and built a second heart.
No matter what method is used to attack or destroy their vital parts, they can find a steady supply of replenishment in the water. This is a vicious circle.
The water will soon completely submerge this place. They will die here before the water rises completely.
The moment Song Zhixian stepped out of the wall, he knew that sooner or later he would die in some area outside the wall. That day was already too late for him.
He was not greedy for life, but he felt that his death was too worthless.
At least, he couldn't let Xie Xuan die here with him.
He coughed more and more violently, the severe pain in his lungs affecting every nerve in his body, and he could feel something long and thin that was still twisting in the blood foam in his mouth.
He had been infected a long time ago. The power of this field was far beyond their imagination. The filtering system of the protective suit was like a piece of cake here.
He couldn't hold on much longer, he had to do something before he could do it again.
"Xiao Yao." Song Zhixian tried hard to find Xiao Yao in the chaos.
Xiao Yao stood against the wall, guarding in front of Ding Qiaoyun, and used a gun to force back the red nematode people approaching them.
Xiao Yao was even more unlucky than him. In this field, his special abilities were of almost no use.
"We need to find a way to get Xie Xuan out of here." Xiao Yao said, "Where's Chongming?"
Song Zhixian shook his head. Chongming had been out of contact since he left with the RV. In his current situation, he might not be able to protect himself.
"We'll use our supernatural powers to concentrate our attacks on one point," Song Zhixian said with difficulty. "There's a chance a crack will appear briefly in the area. We'll throw Xie Xuan out."
As for whether the world outside the crack is the real world or another realm, it all depends on Xie Xuan's luck.
Xiao Yao had no better plan, they were already at the end of their strength.
This field has too many restrictions on them, and the invisible and powerful spiritual infection makes them as weak as ordinary people.
"Let's go find Xie Xuan first..." Before Xiao Yao finished speaking, he suddenly felt a sticky and cold sense of terror.
The visibility in the gymnasium, which already had very low visibility, suddenly became pitch dark, as if all the light had been swallowed by a monster lurking in the darkness.
Xiao Yao and Song Zhixian felt as if they had lost all perception of their bodies in an instant. The water that had already reached the middle of their calves suddenly became icy cold.
They couldn't see anything, but they could feel that something powerful and ominous was spreading here.
Song Zhixian sensed it a little more clearly than Xiao Yao, and he heard a very strange heartbeat.
The steady and powerful heartbeat echoed in Song Zhixian's ears, drowning out all other sounds in the gymnasium.
He only heard two heartbeats before his ears began to hurt, and severe tinnitus caused him to temporarily lose his hearing.
Their senses were still being weakened, and the only thing they knew was that the water was getting colder and colder. If they didn't leave, they would be indiscriminately attacked by this unspeakable monster.
Even though this monster was Xie Xuan, whom they wanted to rescue.
Song Zhixian gritted his teeth and tried to regain control of his body. It was pitch black in front of him, but he could feel the cold feeling getting closer and closer.
At this moment, a bit of white mycelium appeared in the darkness. It quickly wrapped around Song Zhixian, Xiao Yao and the unconscious Ding Qiaoyun like a hunting spider silk, and pulled the three of them directly up to the ceiling.
