Xiao Yao and Ji Chenghong, who hurried over when Xie Xuan opened the door, were slightly stunned when they saw the scene inside the door.
There was no danger in the cockpit as they thought. Just like an ordinary train, there was only one seat and a circle of operating interfaces in front of the seat.
There was a man sitting with his back to them. From the back, he didn't seem to have done anything to harm himself. At least his hair was still intact.
At this time, the carriage door was about to close again. Xiao Yao immediately walked into the driver's cab, and Ji Chenghong pulled Li Fei in immediately.
The cab seemed to be an exception to the rules. After the car door was closed, the four people in the cab did not disappear on the spot, but still stood together.
The man sitting in the driver's seat remained motionless and silent from beginning to end, and did not react to their arrival at all.
The train didn't even show any aggressive behavior towards them for breaking into the cab.
This does not fit in with the general behavior pattern of the territory. Generally speaking, whether the territory is offensive or reproductive, once the parasite is threatened, the territory will become aggressive.
Now Xiao Yao and the others had already walked to the man's side, but nothing happened.
Unless, the person sitting here is not the parasite.
"The current detected spore concentration is 55%."
Xiao Yao and the others also saw the true face of the man sitting in the driver's seat.
This was a man with dark yellow skin, like a dried and moldy orange. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, with an ordinary appearance. He was wearing an ordinary short-sleeved polo shirt. The special thing was that his lower body seemed to be growing on the seat, and the part from the thighs down had completely disappeared.
Xie Xuan immediately thought of the broken leg at the entrance to the realm, "Is this the person lying on the railway tracks?"
"I'm afraid so." Xiao Yao said, took out his gun and shot the man directly in the chest.
The bullet penetrated the man's chest, as if it had shot into a rotten orange. The wound collapsed softly and light yellow water flowed out of the wound.
There was no change in the area, and Bai Ze's voice did not sound.
"Not a parasite." Ji Chenghong said in a heavy tone.
At this moment, Xie Xuan suddenly noticed a strange phenomenon: the train had no headlights.
In other words, the front of the train was completely dark, unlike normal trains that would turn on their headlights when traveling underground.
Although we cannot try to find normal logic in this field, everything about this train is very logical except for the rules of getting on and off.
Was it neglected by the parasite? Xie Xuan walked forward and approached the front windshield of the train.
After getting closer, Xie Xuan realized that this was not pure black, but a black color covered by countless black lines, like loose hair.
Xie Xuan's breath hitched. Just as she was about to turn around and call others to come over, she saw Xiao Yao standing behind her without her knowing when.
"Is this hair?" Xiao Yao also saw the black outside the car window.
Just now, when they were in other carriages of the train, they also looked out the window, but found nothing special. The window glass was transparent, and outside the window was the unchanging view inside the tunnel.
"Hair?" Ji Chenghong also came over. "Why is there hair here?"
Xiao Yao was about to speak when Li Fei's scream suddenly came from behind them.
"ah!!"
Ji Chenghong immediately turned around and saw that the passenger who had been standing in carriage No. 1 had walked in at some point.
A strong smell of corruption spread in along with the pale yellow liquid mixed with blood on the ground, but the reason for Li Fei's scream was not these rotting bloody people, but the man who had just been shot through the heart by Xiao Yao.
The man, who looked as rotten and soft as a rotten orange, suddenly reached out and stabbed Li Fei in the chest.
Xie Xuan could even see the man's hand covered with dark yellow veins coming out from behind Li Fei, and in this rotten hand was holding a still-beating heart.
Xiao Yao just raised his hand, and with a "puff" sound, the heart was cruelly crushed in front of them.
"Li Fei, a member of Team 51, is dead." Bai Ze's voice sounded particularly cold at this moment.
This was the first time that Xie Xuan faced the death of a teammate in this world, but it was not the first time he faced death.
And now is definitely not a good time to mourn the lives lost.
She quickly took out her gun and shot through the head of the bloody man who was the first to walk in from car No. 1. The bloody man staggered and fell down, quickly turning into a pool of rotten mycelium.
But in the next second, the mycelium disappeared as if it had merged with the ground.
A light bulb went off in Xie Xuan's mind. This scene was exactly the same as the ultimate boss in the anime who always liked to devour his own minions to increase his own power.
The ultimate BOSS here is undoubtedly the parasite, and the one who devours these bloody people can only be the master of this area.
The strange undulations on the train floor and the front window covered with strange hair seemed to indicate something.
"Is it possible that the parasite has merged with this train?" Xie Xuan made a bold guess.
The more advanced the domain of the parasite, the more likely it is to evolve. The cases where the parasite merges with inorganic matter are rare, but it does happen.
"It's possible." Xiao Yao didn't even need a gun now. He made a pistol gesture with his hands, and flames kept shooting out from his fingertips, igniting the bloody people who kept pouring into the cab.
These people have obviously been completely infected. Even if Xiao Yao does not take action now, after the parasites in the field die, these people will become infected objects and turn into dried mycelium along with the field.
Xiao Yao's gaze abruptly shifted from the tragically dead Li Fei, and he turned to ask Xie Xuan, "Do you have any solution?"
"There is one, I want to try it." said Xie Xuan.
Xiao Yao said without any doubt: "Try. I will cover you."
Xie Xuan didn't know where Xiao Yao's confidence in her came from, but she couldn't ask any more questions at the moment.
Xie Xuan took a deep breath, calmed down, recalled the feeling of using the control technique, and imagined that his mental power was radiating out like countless transparent tentacles.
The world turned into black and gray tones of varying light and dark, and in this world, the dark yellow mycelium under her feet, which extended like branches, became particularly eye-catching.
Xie Xuan continued to trace the source along the tree trunk underground. She could clearly "see" the dark yellow color of varying thickness and brightness flowing among the branches.
[Spirit value decreased by 10]
But after her tracing went beyond a range of one meter, she seemed to have encountered some invisible obstacle and could not move forward even a single step.
Her ability only has a range of one meter, but she has found the direction and can continue to move towards the source on her own.
But in Xiao Yao's opinion, Xie Xuan suddenly started to walk abnormally towards carriage No. 1, as if he couldn't see the bloody people who were still pouring into the cab.
"What happened to Xie Xuan?" Ji Chenghong asked in surprise.
