After seeing Song Zhixian come out, Xie Xuan retracted her legs, and the black liquid wrapped around her legs returned to her body.
Xie Xuan put on the trouser legs of the protective suit without any hesitation. When he lifted his leg, a white ankle was exposed. It was hard to imagine that it was a cuttlefish-like thing just a few seconds ago.
"Is there no one to see you off?" Xie Xuan asked.
Song Zhixian shook his head. "That's not necessary. They have their own things to do. It's not worth wasting their time and feelings like this."
Xie Xuan felt that the wasted time was secondary, the main issue was the feelings.
Song Zhixian has been outside the wall for so many years, and there are many more companions coming and going around him than Xie Xuan. He knows better than Xie Xuan how to prevent himself from being dragged down by such emotions.
Xie Xuan didn't say much. She put on her protective suit again and extended her hand to Song Zhixian, "Welcome aboard."
Song Zhixian shook his hand and said, "Thank you."
The two hands were clasped together, and Xiao Yao suddenly came over and put his hand on them.
The handshake posture had to be changed to overlapping hands, and Chongming's hand was also put up.
Xie Xuan's hands were pressed down, and she felt that she should say something encouraging at this time, but she really lacked experience in this area.
Song Zhixian probably saw Xie Xuan's embarrassment, so he coughed and said, "Let's go back inside the wall and have a celebration party."
Xie Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, "It's agreed that I'll treat you to a meal then."
Chongming pressed his hand down, and a simple ceremony was completed.
It was just past four in the afternoon and the sun was beginning to set. Song Zhixian got into the car, just like he had done that night when he got in under the pretext of hitchhiking.
But the difference is that there were six people in the car at that time and there were not enough beds, but now with Song Zhixian there is one more bed.
Xie Xuan tried her best not to think about these things. She walked to her usual seat in the car and sat down, taking a last look at the station.
Ding Qiaoyun is inside, and they will meet again inside the wall soon.
The RV started slowly and smoothly left the white tower standing in the mushroom forest.
Their second mission point is a village, and at the current rate of progress they can reach it around eight o'clock tonight.
But it is not safe to drive at night, let alone get out of the car to collect samples.
By then, it is estimated that they will not be collecting samples, but the samples will collect them.
After Yang Jiayue and Ding Qiaoyun left, the remaining four people in the team were all A-level psychics, but they were all combat-oriented.
Fortunately, Song Zhixian's ability allows him to hear the heartbeats around him, which he can use to avoid groups of infected animals.
And what Xie Xuan said about her obtaining some of Yang Jiayue's special abilities was indeed true.
Although she herself couldn't figure out whether it was the result of further development of her original supernatural power, or whether she swallowed Yang Jiayue when she lost control.
But the result is that she can now sense fungi within a kilometer or so.
However, unlike Yang Jiayue who could completely turn the sand table into a sand table to indicate the location with such accuracy, she could only roughly sense the level of the fungus and its distance.
It's like the kind of thing in fantasy novels where you can sense the consciousness of a powerful person.
Xie Xuan and Song Zhixian filled in Yang Jiayue's original job, but the division of labor between Chongming and Xiao Yao did not change much.
Song Zhixian continued to cough after getting in the car.
Originally, Xie Xuan thought that she and Song Zhixian met by chance, so it would be better to avoid adding to her own troubles.
But now Song Zhixian has become her teammate. In order to ensure that there are enough people in the team when she returns to the wall, Xie Xuan feels that she needs to care about him.
"Are you coughing like this because your heart affects your lungs?" Xie Xuan asked.
Song Zhixian didn't hide it and nodded, saying, "My heart is like a source of infection, it is slowly infecting my body."
Xie Xuan's entire body was infected, but Song Zhixian's condition was obviously different from hers.
"If it infects your lungs, will you die?" Xie Xuan asked.
These past two days, Xie Xuan has been particularly obsessed with the question of whether or not he will die. Song Zhixian said helplessly, "He will die."
Xie Xuan pointed at Song Zhixian's chest and asked, "Can you let me take another look at your heart?"
Chongming and Xiao Yao looked over when they heard Xie Xuan and Song Zhixian talking. Upon hearing this, Xiao Yao said, "Do you have a solution?"
Xie Xuan said: "Not necessarily."
Song Zhixian had originally been indifferent to his own life and death, but now every day he lived felt like it was stolen from the hands of death.
Xie Xuan said she wanted to see it, so he took off his protective suit and lifted up his clothes to show her.
The bright red heart in his chest was exactly the same as the last time Xie Xuan saw it, still beating slowly, like a giant spider entwined in Song Zhixian's chest.
It looked very uncomfortable, the level of discomfort probably second only to the feeling of having a sticky black liquid flowing out of one's body, Xie Xuan thought.
Dark red mycelium was spreading outward from the heart, corroding his lungs just as Song Zhixian had said.
Xie Xuan raised her hand and placed it on Song Zhixian's chest.
"Xie Xuan." Xiao Yao took a step forward and saw black liquid slowly oozing out of Xie Xuan's palm.
Xiao Yao swallowed the second half of his sentence and changed it to another sentence, "Take it easy, don't kill Song Zhixian."
"You make sense." Xie Xuan stretched out his other hand, "Give me two doses of treatment."
Song Zhixian probably knew what Xie Xuan wanted to do. She wanted to eat the mycelium that was invading his lungs.
Although Song Zhixian felt that Xie Xuan would most likely lose control and eat a little more, causing his already limited lifespan to become even shorter, he still did not stop her.
People who stay outside the wall for too long will have some self-destructive tendencies. When it is late at night and everyone is asleep, they will always wonder when they will suddenly die, and even think that death is the only way to get rid of this kind of fear.
Song Zhixian waited quietly for Xie Xuan's move.
Xie Xuan placed her palm on his heart, feeling a little warm, but this warmth was soon replaced by a cold feeling.
Song Zhixian lowered his head and saw the black liquid he had just seen not long ago flowing into the broken part of his chest.
This feeling was very strange. If I had to describe it, it was more like being bitten in the vitals by some large predator, which could easily take his life at any time, but he remained silent and did not resist.
A cold feeling began to spread outward along his blood vessels. Song Zhixian raised his head and saw Xie Xuan with her eyes closed, standing quietly in front of him like a beautiful and harmless porcelain doll.
