Chapter 35: Mobius Strip



"You'll kill him."

Li Fei turned around and found Xiao Yao standing behind him without him noticing.

"I saved him," Li Fei emphasized. "Everyone in the carriage I just got off was scratching their heads. You should have seen it too. The people who got off with me..."

He paused for a moment because he suddenly noticed that Xiao Yao in front of him was not wearing a helmet.

Not only was he not wearing a helmet, but some parts of Xiao Yao's black hair were wet, as if it was stained with water.

"Why did you take your helmet off?!"

Li Fei looked around for Xiao Yao's helmet in panic, "You will be infected. Where is your helmet?"

"I lost it. Can you give me yours?"

Li Fei's first reaction was to find it absurd, but Xiao Yao looked at him calmly, as if what he had proposed was just a very trivial request.

Li Fei knew that he would be infected if he took off his helmet, but as he thought about it, he actually began to feel that Xiao Yao's request was quite reasonable.

Xiao Yao is an A-level mutant, so it is more valuable for him not to be infected.

Li Fei was a little dazed, and his hand slowly reached for his helmet.

"You have been infected by the spirit." A vague voice seemed to come into his ears through the window, and then there was a slight pain in his arm, and Li Fei suddenly woke up.

Xiao Yao was still standing in front of him, but this time he was wearing a complete protective suit. Behind the glass of his helmet, Xiao Yao was looking at him with a cold expression.

Li Fei's hand was still on the connector of his helmet, but now he was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

He almost took off his helmet, and said with lingering fear: "Thank you."

After he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, "I seemed to have stopped someone who was about to get on the bus... or was this also an illusion?"

"It's not an illusion." Xiao Yao pointed behind Li Fei.

Li Fei turned around and saw a man kneeling on the ground with his head facing behind him and his hands hanging on the ground.

Head... facing behind?

Li Fei's steps forward suddenly stopped. The person in front of him twisted his neck 180 degrees and looked behind him in a posture that a living person could never do.

"He, he... is dead?" Li Fei's voice was trembling.

"Obviously, you killed him." Xiao Yao said coldly.

But this sentence immediately reminded Li Fei of the first sentence he heard after he walked out of the car. He took out his gun and pointed it at Xiao Yao without thinking.

"You are also my illusion, right?" Li Fei's hands began to tremble.

Xiao Yao's eyebrows slightly drooped. He ignored the gun pointed at him and Li Fei, who was almost emotionally broken, and walked around him.

"Zhang Xiaoqian, did you get off the bus?" Xiao Yao asked without much hope.

As expected, there was no answer from Zhang Xiaoqian, but Bai Ze's voice was heard.

"The current detected spore concentration is 45%."

Each arrival increased the spore concentration by 5%, which was definitely not good news for them.

After the car door closed again, Xie Xuan squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the front car.

Unlike ordinary light rail trains, there is a sliding door between the carriages here, similar to the sliding doors between the train carriages that Xie Xuan is familiar with.

There was a glass window on the door, but it seemed to be covered with moisture and nothing could be seen clearly.

Xie Xuan held the door handle with one hand, held the dagger tightly with the other, and slowly pressed it down.

The door opened easily, so easily that Xie Xuan even felt it was a little too easy.

The heavy alloy door slowly opened, and behind the door was still a carriage packed with people.

Xie Xuan walked past the connection between the carriages and looked up at the route map above the carriage. The icon of the next station on the route map was still at B19, and the carriage number was still 5.

This is also expected.

Xie Xuan told this discovery on the public channel, and Ji Chenghong, who also stayed on the train with her, said that he had encountered the same situation.

The doors of each carriage are connected end to end, making it look like a connected train, but in fact, each one is an independent space after boarding.

"In other words, if you want to go to carriage No. 1, you can only get off the train first and then get on again?" Xie Xuan asked.

"That's possible." Xiao Yao agreed, then said, "Bai Ze, check Zhang Xiaoqian's condition."

"Zhang Xiaoqian is not currently infected."

But this sentence did not make everyone feel relieved. Bai Ze could only detect common infections, and mental infections could not be detected.

"Didn't you see Zhang Xiaoqian on the platform?" Ji Chenghong asked, and then immediately followed up with, "So the platform outside is connected to all the carriages?"

"It should be."

Xiao Yao was following the people who had just gotten off the train towards the exit of the ordinary light rail station, and behind him was Li Fei, who was on high alert.

Among the people who were slowly walking up in front of Xiao Yao, there were people who, as Li Fei described, had a piece of their hair torn out with blood on their scalp, there were also people whose necks and faces were covered with bloody scratches, and there was even a person whose eyeballs were dug out, leaving only two bloody empty holes.

But there was no one who would skin himself as Zhang Xiaoqian said.

From Carriage 8 to Carriage 1, the degree of mental infection suffered by the passengers ranged from light to heavy, but those who entered the field later were deliberately dispersed into eight cars according to their ability levels.

People with higher levels of supernatural powers are farther away from carriage No. 1, but Zhang Xiaoqian, who is relatively the weakest, was arranged in carriage No. 1.

In the current research of the Ecological Bureau, there is a saying that the ecology among the fungi themselves is very similar to the herds of animals in nature, and the weak can sense the presence of the strong to a certain extent.

In this case, the platform, which is the place that connects all the carriages, is completely contrary to the design of the carriages being connected end to end.

While Xiao Yao was thinking about the key to breaking the deadlock, he followed the person in front of him up the last few steps.

In fact, if there weren't a large number of ordinary people in this area, Xiao Yao would have been more inclined to burn the area directly.

It would be better to say that Xiao Yao completed most of his tasks by setting fires. With his absolute overwhelming strength, he did not need to waste time and brainpower thinking about where the parasite might be hiding.

"We are back again?" Li Fei muttered to himself behind Xiao Yao.

Xiao Yao stopped and said, "It seems so."

The place where the exit should have been was exactly the same as the platform they had just left. No, not exactly the same, but the platform itself was like the carriage, a closed loop connected from beginning to end.

The Möbius strip, a never-ending cycle.

But this place obviously would not have no end. Xiao Yao noticed that the people who had led the way in front of them just now were divided into several groups in an orderly manner and were waiting in front of the car door again.
