[It is currently detected that the user's health is rapidly decreasing and is expected to die in one minute and forty-five seconds.]
What reached Xie Xuan's nerves before the severe pain was a strange feeling coming from her abdominal cavity, as if someone was pinching her internal organs, thinking about which one to crush first.
Xie Xuan's throat was filled with the smell of blood. After a very brief pause, she immediately swung the dagger at the person in front of her.
The man in front of him, who was completely wrapped in black mycelium, immediately took a step back. At the same time, he pulled his hand, which was covered in blood and flesh residue, out of Xie Xuan's body.
"Cough—" Xie Xuan couldn't hold back the blood in his throat and coughed. Blood mixed with organ fragments immediately filled up the helmet, and the tip of his nose was filled with a strong smell of blood.
[Current health: 58. Transparent cover ability has failed. User expected to die in twenty seconds.]
Xie Xuan immediately pressed the button of the therapeutic agent on her wrist. The two therapeutic agents worked together, and the pain and itchiness of the torn flesh being forced to heal was no less than the pain of being pierced directly in the abdomen by the man just now.
The large hole in the abdomen healed quickly, leaving an ugly scar, but the protective suit could not be repaired.
She had been exposed to a C-level area with extremely high spore concentrations.
[Current health value: 88. The user has been infected and health value is about to begin to decrease.]
Xie Xuan simply took off the blood-spattered helmet and threw it aside. The man opposite, whose face was no longer visible, saw Xie Xuan's appearance and suddenly laughed meaningfully, "It's you."
Xie Xuan's brows knitted together, "What do you mean?"
Xue Yunfei had no good intentions to answer her questions, but he also seemed to have given up on attacking Xie Xuan.
He actually turned around and slowly sat back on the high chair, crossed his legs and propped up his chin, and said with a smile: "Let's see how long it will take for you to be fully infected?"
After saying this, he seemed to glance at the communicator firmly planted next to Xie Xuan's head, and said in a slightly exaggerated tone of sudden enlightenment: "But with Bai Ze here, I may not be able to wait until you are fully infected."
Xie Xuan's heart sank.
The situation couldn't be any worse. Her ability had failed, and there was no sound from Zhou Yuanyuan in the communicator. She had no idea what the situation was like over there.
Opposite her, the parasite was sitting there quietly, waiting to see her get infected.
Except for the woman who was used to block the gun and turned into a flesh mountain monster and was blown up by her grenade, the woman who led her here at the beginning had her head reattached and returned to the man's back.
On the other hand, she now has no weapons or abilities that can pose a threat to the host.
It seemed she was doomed to lose. Xie Xuan took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
The pale candle flames floating in the air around were still jumping, illuminating a corner of the endless darkness.
From the moment they entered this area, the most common elements were darkness and silence.
The domain is essentially constructed based on the vitality of the host. The more elements are constructed, the more vitality is required.
Xie Xuan quickly reviewed the situation in her mind and realized that the area sensed by Bai Ze belonged to another infected person in this infection.
However, the area that was supposed to be a D-level reproductive type behaved abnormally. It didn't seem like it was trying to reproduce, but rather seemed to be stalling for time.
After Zhou Yuanyuan killed the D-level parasite, they fell into darkness again. The C-level area had not been noticed by Bai Ze at this time.
However, after the C-level field was unfolded, there was only one flight of stairs. Even after they dealt with the first meat mountain monster, the entire field came to a standstill.
And when did the field begin to become active again?
It all started when Ling Wenqing took off his helmet due to mental infection and became truly infected. It was as if the domain had drained the vitality from Ling Wenqing so that it could continue to function.
A bold guess emerged in Xie Xuan's mind.
Article 101 of the Mushroom Picking Guide: Both parasites and people with special abilities in incomplete areas may be reinfected by special infected substances.
Incomplete fields rarely appear, and the relevant definitions and research are also vague, but one of the most important characteristics is that the vitality of the parasites in the incomplete field is not enough to support the full maturity of the field, just like a defective product that has been forced to grow.
The parasites and mutants in the incomplete realm are essentially infected people whose infection process is blocked. Therefore, the communicators that can infect mutants can theoretically also infect the man in front of Xie Xuan.
Xie Xuan's hand clenched the dagger. This might be the last chance.
[Current health value 80, spirit value 80. ]
Both health and spirit points dropped rapidly, but Xie Xuan had no more healing potions on him, and the system did not support continuing to accumulate points on credit when he was already in debt.
Xue Yunfei, sitting upright on a high chair, was covered with black mycelium.
His posture was still relaxed, as if he was admiring Xie Xuan's final dying struggle.
Xie Xuan's gaze swept over the man and the women behind him, but her vision turned blood red in just a few seconds, as if she was wearing a pair of red glass glasses.
My eyes suddenly became very itchy, as if countless small insects had crawled out of my eyeballs and were crawling in my eye sockets.
Xie Xuan suppressed the urge to dig her eyeballs out because of the itch.
She didn't need to look in the mirror to know that she should have the same devilish eyes as the man opposite her.
She didn't have much time left, the infection was spreading much faster than she expected.
But as soon as Xie Xuan raised her legs, the world in front of her began to become blurry and unreal.
[Current health value 70, spirit value 70. ]
Xie Xuan immediately gave herself an injection of sedative. After her vision stabilized again, she immediately ran towards the man sitting on the high chair.
Almost at the same time, the two women who were kneeling behind the man stood up. They stood in front of the man with stiff movements like puppets being pulled by strings.
Xie Xuan was extremely calm at this moment.
She didn't need to kill the victim herself. She just needed an opportunity to get the victim to stand close enough to her like she did just now.
Under what circumstances did the man attack just now? Xie Xuan quickly dodged the women's attacks while trying to recall.
It seemed like she killed a meat mountain monster and temporarily incapacitated one of the women.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that from the moment this man appeared in front of Xie Xuan, even though there were women kneeling in a circle behind him, there were only two of them acting at the same time.
Xie Xuan became even more convinced that the man in front of her was an incomplete parasite.
