Anyone who has killed shrimp should know that after the shrimp thread is removed, the live shrimp will still be alive and kicking for a while.
At this time, the organs that were not cleaned properly will be thrown everywhere from the connection between the shrimp head and the shrimp body.
Before Xie Xuan and the others even entered the cafeteria, they saw people jumping around in the cafeteria, blood splattered everywhere, and shapeless body tissues.
The pungent smell of blood made Sun Ruijie's stomach churn, but he remembered that he was wearing a helmet. If he vomited now, he would have to stay with his vomit until the mission was completed.
Sun Ruijie struggled to suppress the urge to vomit, and saw Xie Xuan was the first to walk into the cafeteria.
A layer of dirt that had been trampled into a reddish-brown color had accumulated on the ground. The people jumping around in the cafeteria suddenly quieted down after Xie Xuan walked in, and all turned their heads to look at them.
Most of these people who could no longer be called human had only a layer of skin left on the front of their necks connecting their heads to their bodies. Their broken necks were exposed because their bodies were motionless while their heads had turned 180 degrees. Bright red mycelium could be clearly seen growing from their spines at the bloody and mangled ends.
Looking around, there were nearly a hundred "people" in the cafeteria looking at them in strange postures, and most of them were wearing school uniforms. The original white uniforms with red stripes were now stained dark red by blood.
Xie Xuan felt a little physically uncomfortable. These seemingly young faces now had their lifeless eyes wide open, looking at her in a posture that no normal person could ever do, as if they were crying silently.
Ji Chenghong, who followed Xie Xuan in, also had a heavy expression on his face, but not only because of the tragic scene in front of him, but also because these completely infected people were blocking their way to kill the parasites.
Sun Ruijie was the last one to enter the cafeteria, and the slight sound of footsteps was like a signal, startling all the infected creatures who were watching them quietly.
All those whose heads had been removed and whose shrimp threads had been taken out bent their bodies like dying shrimps and suddenly jumped up with all their might, and pounced on Xie Xuan and the other three like a swarm of bees attracted by the fragrance of flowers.
"Be careful!" Ji Chenghong immediately took out his gun and shot down the first few infected creatures.
Xie Xuan followed closely behind, slashing the knife to completely cut off the heads of these infected creatures that were about to fall off their necks.
But simply cutting off the head was of no use. The headless body continued to pounce under the control of the mycelium growing in the spine.
In just one minute, Xie Xuan and the others were forced out of the door again.
As soon as Xie Xuan and the others left the cafeteria, the headless men inside slowly dispersed as if they had lost their target, and continued to jump around aimlessly in the cafeteria.
There were heads all over the floor, and it was hard to tell whose heads were being kicked. Two of them rolled out of the door with a "gurgling" sound.
Ji Chenghong finally couldn't hold it in any longer and vomited.
Xie Xuan didn't have the heart to look at Ji Chenghong's helmet. "We have to think of a way. I remember the kitchen is at the very back of the cafeteria. We can just go around from the outside to the back of the cafeteria and break through the wall to get in."
Ji Chenghong nodded, "We have to hurry up, otherwise the number of infected people in the cafeteria will only increase."
Xie Xuan and the other two immediately took action. The cafeteria in the domain was much smaller than the one in the real world, and it didn't take them long to reach the back door of the cafeteria.
There is a back door in the cafeteria outside the area, which is connected to the kitchen and is specifically used for supplying food.
The cafeteria in the area also has a back door, but now this door is completely covered by bright red mycelium, and pairs of small mushrooms that look like shrimp eyes are growing on the ground.
Xie Xuan walked forward and cut the door open with one knife.
With a strong push, the door panel fell inward with the sound of mycelium breaking, and then a hot air with a pungent stench of decay rushed out.
Despite the barrier of protective clothing, Xie Xuan was still forced to take a step back by the heat wave.
Xie Xuan raised his hand to wipe away the mist on his helmet, but saw that the place that should have been the kitchen had now turned into a pool, and bubbles were constantly rolling in the pool, as if it was about to boil.
Xie Xuan had already experienced the heat resistance of protective clothing. If she were to dive into the boiling water, even if she wouldn't be cooked, she would at least get a layer of skin scalded off.
But the more crucial problem is that in this pool of steaming water, they can't find any trace of the parasite.
"It can't be under the water, right?" Sun Ruijie said weakly.
The water was about to boil, and the water in the entire pool was a turbid grayish-white color. They couldn't see what was in the water at all.
But no matter what, they couldn't just sit there and waste time. Xie Xuan took a deep breath, deactivated his transparent cover ability, and crossed the threshold.
"I'll go down and take a look. You guys look around for other clues." After Xie Xuan said that, he locked himself in the cage and then controlled it to slowly sink into the water.
The water was really about to boil, and a steady stream of heat came from all around. Xie Xuan soon broke out in a sweat.
The transparent shelter kept colliding with bubbles floating up from the water, which made Xie Xuan strangely recall the infection incident on Street 98.
There must be a heat source beneath the boiling water. Xie Xuan gritted her teeth and continued to let the cage sink.
The cage was getting hotter and hotter, and Xie Xuan felt like she was being roasted.
The current spore concentration detected is 55%.
Shortly after this sound was heard, the cage finally sank to the bottom.
There was grayish-white water all around, and Xie Xuan couldn't see anything, but she had a hunch that she should continue going down.
Xie Xuan closed his eyes and let his mental power slowly radiate out, pass through the cage, and stick to the bottom of the pool below the cage.
【Spirit value decreased by 5.】
She imagined that the bottom of the pool was a piece of thin paper and now she wanted to poke a hole in it.
The sweat on his forehead condensed into strands and flowed down, and the water was already boiling.
On the water surface, shortly after Xie Xuan sank, Ji Chenghong and Sun Ruijie, who were about to leave, suddenly saw the door opposite the pool open.
The headless man whom they had just confronted squeezed in from the door like dumplings and jumped into the water, splashing huge water. Ji Chenghong and the others could also see that the headless man who had just jumped into the water was scalded and his whole body was red as he swam to the bottom of the water.
"Xie Xuan, the infected object has gone to the bottom of the water!" After Ji Chenghong said this, he immediately took out his gun and tried to deal with the headless man who was still squeezing into the water.
But amid the sound of splashing water and the successive gunshots, a flat voice suddenly sounded behind Ji Chenghong and Sun Ruijie.
"This is the kitchen, no one is allowed in."
