All the carriage doors were open.
Just like a zombie siege, all the infected passengers began to flock to car No. 1.
Xie Xuan was surrounded by Xiao Yao and Ji Chenghong. The three of them were struggling to move towards the back half of carriage No. 1 while being surrounded by bloody people who kept rushing towards them.
"What does she want to do?" Ji Chenghong couldn't help but ask.
"I don't know." Xiao Yao replied.
Ji Chenghong almost collapsed, but now they were completely surrounded by infected organisms, and it was impossible to return to the cab even if they wanted to.
Of course Xie Xuan heard the conversation between Ji Chenghong and Xiao Yao, but she didn't say a word and just continued to move forward along the branches spreading underground.
The spirit value has dropped to 75. The closer to the source of the branches, the faster the spirit value drops. Xie Xuan's head aches slightly. In addition to the voices of Ji Chenghong and Xiao Yao, there seems to be another voice making a vague sound in his ears.
"Why……?"
It seemed like someone was whispering in Xie Xuan's ear.
Xie Xuan gave herself an injection of sedative, and the sound in her ears immediately became so weak that it was almost inaudible.
The rotting bloody people around them kept rushing towards them, and the entire carriage had been turned into a sea of fire by Xiao Yao.
After the infected matter in the carriage was ignited, it did not immediately turn into ashes, but instead ran around in flames. Soon the entire carriage, which was also made of mycelium, began to burn.
The temperature in the carriage was so high that Xie Xuan was sweating profusely, and this was the result of Xiao Yao trying his best to control the spread of the fire.
Xie Xuan gripped the dagger tightly and chopped off the head of a bloody man who rushed towards her. In front of her was Zhang Xiaoqian, whom they had seen in car No. 1 when the car stopped last time.
Zhang Xiaoqian was still wearing a complete protective suit. She sat on the ground, hugging her knees, her face buried in her legs, and had no reaction to anything around her.
"Zhang Xiaoqian?" Ji Chenghong was stunned.
Xiao Yao's expression was slightly tense. "Xie Xuan, is there something wrong with her?"
"The source of the meridians spreading underground is here." Xie Xuan said, wanting to reach out and pull Zhang Xiaoqian up from the ground.
But when Xie Xuan's hand was about to touch Zhang Xiaoqian, a dark yellow shadow flashed by. Xie Xuan immediately withdrew her hand, but it was half a second too late.
The shadow left a long and deep wound on her arm. If Xie Xuan had not dodged quickly, her entire arm might have been cut off.
Xie Xuan immediately stepped back to inject the treatment agent, but her protective suit was damaged and she couldn't hold on for long.
"Zhang Xiaoqian, are you infected?"
Before Ji Chenghong finished speaking, Xiao Yao had already shot a flame towards Zhang Xiaoqian.
But suddenly a bloody man rushed over and blocked the flames for Zhang Xiaoqian, but the bloody man himself fell to the ground and was burned into a charred black ball by the flames.
At this time, Zhang Xiaoqian stood up by herself and slowly raised her head.
There didn't seem to be anything unusual on her face, her eyes were dull, and she just looked quietly at the three people standing in front of her.
Xie Xuan's wound has healed, but she is still unclear about her current situation.
Zhang Xiaoqian is not a parasite, but she is standing at the source of the infection in the field, and even these infected organisms are protecting her.
Bai Ze did not remind Zhang Xiaoqian that she was infected, which means that she was only mentally infected now.
But no matter what Zhang Xiaoqian's current situation is, the most important thing is to find the location of the person being parasitized.
Xie Xuan was about to use her ability to control the ground again when the protective suit on Zhang Xiaoqian suddenly moved.
She was very sure that she was not seeing things. Zhang Xiaoqian did not move, but it seemed as if something was moving under her protective suit, causing it to bulge out.
Xiao Yao's actions were consistent with Xie Xuan's thoughts. Under Xiao Yao's control, the flames in the carriage all rushed towards Zhang Xiaoqian.
The crimson flames instantly engulfed Zhang Xiaoqian, and the entire carriage was filled with red, red blood, and red flames.
Ji Chenghong's pupils suddenly shrank when he saw Xiao Yao directly burning Zhang Xiaoqian, but he said nothing in the end. He just raised his gun and continued to clean up the bloody people who were still pouring in around him.
The bright flames lasted only a few seconds before suddenly disappearing, along with all the infected objects in the carriage.
They seemed to be absorbed by the ground and melted into a ball of mycelium, becoming one with the ground.
The carriage that was crowded just now was suddenly left with only four members of the shelter department. The high temperature flames burned the helmets of the protective suits black, but the people in the protective suits were still standing.
Xiao Yao took half a step forward and blocked Xie Xuan and Ji Chenghong behind him without leaving any trace.
The entire carriage was still so hot that people were sweating all over, and it was filled with an unpleasant smell of burnt food mixed with the smell of blood.
Xie Xuan felt that the wound on her arm that had just healed began to itch, but this was not because the wound was healing, but because she was infected.
"Team 51 member Zhang Xiaoqian has been completely infected."
"Team 7 member Xie Xuan has been infected."
"The current spore concentration detected is 60%"
The three consecutive announcements made the remaining three people's hearts sink.
Bai Ze's voice had just disappeared when Zhang Xiaoqian, who was standing opposite Xie Xuan and the others, raised her hand and took off the charred helmet.
Under the helmet, she looked no different than before, except that the irises of her eyes had turned a dark yellow and her skin and hair had become sallow.
Xie Xuan suddenly thought of the car window covered with black hair that she had just seen in the cab.
If the parasites in this area have really merged with this train, then the head of the train is the head of the parasite, and the heart that supplies power to the whole body should now be on Zhang Xiaoqian in front of him.
Although this speculation sounds a bit ridiculous, Xie Xuan has no better explanation now.
No matter what, there was only one last thing they could do.
"Kill Zhang Xiaoqian." Xiao Yao said coldly, "I'll take the lead, and you provide cover."
Xie Xuan and Ji Chenghong responded immediately.
Generally speaking, it would be easy for Xiao Yao, a genuine A-level mutant, to deal with a C-level parasite.
But maybe it was because this field absorbed the vitality of hundreds of people, Xiao Yao was unable to do anything about it for a while.
The scorching flames were blocked by the human-shaped tentacles that kept emerging from the ground. After being ignited, the tentacle immediately broke off by itself, and then an endless stream of tentacles emerged, surrounding Zhang Xiaoqian tightly.
"Zhang Xiaoqian" stood motionless, and the train they were standing on was itself part of its absolute defense.
Xiao Yao has been using his fire ability intensively since the beginning, and is now beginning to feel a little overwhelmed. If he wants to fight a protracted war, the parasite can obviously easily wear them down here.
Xie Xuan's current situation is even worse than Xiao Yao's. After being infected, her health and mental value are both decreasing.
She felt as if something was flowing in her veins along with the blood, and the vague sounds in her ears became clearer and clearer.
"Why is no one helping me...?"
"It's so painful... I want them to feel my pain..."
