Most of the new humans had previously lived outside the black line.
However, after the appearance of the evil god and the establishment of Paradise Lost, the new humans living within the wall were forced to migrate to other places.
People inside the wall are divided into two camps in their attitudes towards the new humans. One camp believes that the new humans are of the same race, while the other camp believes that the new humans can no longer be considered human beings.
Song Zhixian was the former, but in the development department and the garrison, the proportion of the latter was actually higher.
Excluding alien species is not only the instinct of bacteria, but also the instinct of human beings.
This is also the reason why the new humans have little contact with the garrison. If Qin Feng and his men were not really desperate, they would not have chosen to ask Song Zhixian and his men for help.
"Then how did you get here?" Xie Xuan asked, "Is there any means of transportation?"
"At first there was a small bus, but later it was discovered by people from the Lost Paradise, so we started walking," said Qin Feng.
Xie Xuan turned to look at Chongming and Song Zhixian beside her, "Is there any usable transportation nearby?"
Song Zhixian shook his head. Chongming said, "Everyone in this area left decades ago. The remaining cars are all gasoline-powered, and their internal parts are damaged. Even if there is a power source, they will most likely not start."
Xie Xuan thought for a moment and asked, "How heavy a car can our RV carry?"
"Where do you plan to send them?" Xiao Yao asked.
This is also a good question. Xie Xuan's initial thought was to return to the red line and contact the C7 garrison, and then let the people at the garrison pick these people up.
But then she thought that the people of Paradise Lost had become so rampant that they turned a small town so close to the base into an infected object for experiments. Even if these new humans arrived at the base, not to mention whether the base was willing to accept these people, just the team in the base, if Paradise Lost really wanted to do something to the new humans inside, they would not be able to stop them at all.
It’s not reliable to send it to the garrison point. Is it okay to send it inside the wall?
The Lost Paradise is not only outside the wall, but also in the dark places inside the wall that they cannot see. Moreover, it seems a bit unrealistic to ask Xie Xuan and others to send these people back inside the wall before moving on.
"Theoretically, the RV can pull any car lighter than it, but heavier cars simply consume more energy," Chongming said. "And I should remind you that with the RV's remaining energy, it's only enough for us to reach the black line without taking any detours and then return to our base."
Qin Feng saw how embarrassed they were and said, "If it doesn't work, forget it."
"No problem." Xie Xuan said, "Let's..."
Before she could finish her words, Song Zhixian suddenly interrupted her, "Someone is coming."
The other party was very fast, and Xie Xuan also felt the breath of a fungus approaching here rapidly. This breath was between a simple fungus and a mutant, so it should be a new human.
"Mr. Qin, you just need to protect the children. We will take care of these people." Xie Xuan said.
There were eight people coming towards them, and each of them had a similar aura, which was consistent with what Qin Feng said just now that the new humans in the Lost Paradise had been infected for the second time by the evil god's bacteria.
Qin Feng said, "People from Lost Paradise usually move in groups. It would be too difficult for the four of you to do it alone. We can also help."
Song Zhixian shook his head and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, we are very capable. You just need to take good care of your children."
Xiao Yao and Chong Ming were already on the ground, ready for battle. Qin Feng could only nod and say, "Okay, you guys must be careful."
After Xie Xuan and Song Zhixian also came to the ground, Chongming used mycelium to cover the lifted ceiling back.
Paradise Lost didn't make them wait too long. Almost as soon as the ceiling was put back on, eight black shadows appeared in front of them.
All the shadows were wearing identical black cloaks, covering them tightly from neck to toes, and had black masks on their faces, but there were no patterns on the masks, only two holes for the eyes.
The cloak was similar to the one that Xie Xuan saw Bal wearing in Taikang Hospital last time, but the mask was different. Bal's mask had horns on it, and was obviously much more advanced than these masks.
The shadow stood before them, not moving immediately, but not speaking either.
Xie Xuan and the other three lined up in a row. Although the number of people on the opposite side was twice theirs, they had no intention of retreating.
The strange calm lasted less than half a minute, and the first to move were the people from Paradise Lost.
The eight people moved at the same time, spreading out in a circle and completely surrounding the four of them.
Before Xie Xuan realized what they were going to do, she heard Xiao Yao shout, "Be careful, they're going to set up a formation!"
Formation?
For a moment, Xie Xuan thought she had traveled into some fairy world again, but the next second, she saw eight people standing at eight points, as if they were standing at each corner of a regular octagon.
Each of them raised his hands, pale and bony hands extending from under his cloak, the veins under the skin were purple and black.
These purple-black things began to grow in their blood vessels, and the skin was pushed up with shocking ridges, and soon the things in the blood vessels pierced the skin and came out.
They were purple-black mycelium, and they grew rapidly as soon as they came into contact with the air. Within just a few seconds, the mycelium between the two people who stretched out their hands was connected together.
The purple-black mycelium formed a regular octagon, and Xie Xuan and the others were trapped in the middle.
When all the hyphae connected together, Xie Xuan suddenly felt a palpitation.
She even felt that the sky around her darkened in an instant, and in this surging darkness, something too terrifying to look directly at was spying on them.
Or perhaps, they are spying on this unspeakable thing.
Time seemed to slow down and stretch infinitely, and Xie Xuan seemed to be able to clearly feel her blood vessels dilating and her heart beating to supply blood.
Her vision was occupied by an eye in an instant.
But this description is not accurate. She didn't even see it. The eye appeared directly in her mind.
This is a purple-black eye with a vertical pupil like a snake's eye, but this eye has no outline.
It is not a regular circle like a human eye. Its edges are blurred in the endless darkness, and only the black vertical pupil in the middle can be seen, like a black hole with a crack.
Not only did time begin to become blurred, but space also began to become blurred. Xie Xuan felt that he could not feel his own body.
Her soul was as light as a feather, yet as heavy as a mountain.
