Five people wearing identical protective suits were sitting in the carriage.
The three men have their own characteristics. Li Fei is very strong, Xiao Yao is very tall, and Ji Chenghong is half a head taller than Xie Xuan and Zhang Xiaoqian, so they are easy to distinguish.
But Xie Xuan and Zhang Xiaoqian have similar body shapes, making it difficult to tell them apart.
"Do you want to turn off the one-way visibility of the helmet?" Ji Chenghong suggested.
The default one-way visibility of protective clothing helmets has always been criticized, but for some reason, such a simple setting change has not been modified by the Ecological Bureau for so many years.
"Okay." Xiao Yao nodded and adjusted the settings first.
After the final preparations were completed, the shuttle bus stopped smoothly at the entrance of the destination.
Although it is called a light rail, land resources are very limited within the high walls, and most of the light rail lines are built underground, including the B19 station of Line 749 Light Rail where the infection incident occurred.
It has been cloudy this morning. Not a drop of rain has fallen since 10 o'clock last night. However, an unusual incident of infection occurred at the B19 station on the light rail during rush hour.
The preliminary conclusion given by the Ecological Bureau is that the humidity in the air is too high, which may have made some spores brought in by the wind infectious.
After the infection incident, the local security team evacuated the crowd immediately, and now there are two police officers standing guard at all entrances of this site.
After Xie Xuan and the others got off the train, one of them came over, saluted, and explained the situation without further ado. "Our preliminary investigation shows that the infection occurred at the first elevator after entering from Exit 3. Because the infection occurred when the light rail arrived at the station, the entire light rail is now infected and cannot be moved."
"What is the estimated number of people in the field?"
The police officer's face was solemn. "More than 600 people."
Everyone's heart sank.
The last time Xie Xuan was at the White Horse Club, there were only about a hundred people gathering, which gave her a headache, but this time there were more than six hundred people.
In addition, this is a C-level area, and the level of danger within the area is far beyond that of an E-level area.
Xiao Yao nodded, "Got it. Let's go down now. Don't let anyone get close to here until we come out."
The police officer said seriously, "Yes."
Before entering the entrance, Xiao Yao turned around and said, "To improve efficiency, we'll split into two groups to search for clues. We'll be in Team 7 as one group, and you'll be in Team 51 as the other. Any objections?"
"No."
"Okay, after entering the field, I hope everyone will try their best to adopt my suggestions while ensuring their own safety."
Before nodding, Xie Xuan glanced at the three people from Team 51. Except for Zhang Xiaoqian, the other two seemed a little nervous.
But in the end, all four of them nodded and said "OK".
There were still 3 hours and 20 minutes before the C-level field matured. Five people in black protective suits walked into Exit 3 of the B19 site.
It was still morning. In Xie Xuan's impression, the lights in the subway station were always on, and it was equally bright day or night.
But this site seems a bit too bright.
After walking down the stairs and before reaching the ticket gate, the light silver mycelium on the ground has already covered the entire space. The fluorescent mycelium replaces the role of the lamp and illuminates the entire space.
Xie Xuan had little experience and this was the first time she had seen such a scene.
The site covered with mycelium is like a festival scene with light strips hanging everywhere. It can even be described as dreamy.
Zhang Xiaoqian, who was walking beside Xie Xuan, couldn't help but admire in a low voice, "So beautiful."
"Of course it's beautiful. This was paid for with the lives of more than 600 trapped people." Xiao Yao said suddenly.
Zhang Xiaoqian was stunned and quickly apologized, "Sorry, I shouldn't have said that."
Xiao Yao didn't respond to her, but raised his hand and pointed in a direction, "The first elevator down should be here."
Because the entire space was filled with glowing mycelium, their vision was as blurred as an overexposed camera. Ji Chenghong walked a few meters in the direction Xiao Yao pointed before he could clearly tell that this was an elevator going downwards.
"It's here." Ji Chenghong was the first to go down.
After going down to the second underground floor, the entire space was so bright that it was almost blinding. They had to turn on the light shielding on their helmets to see their surroundings clearly.
The ground is covered with glowing mycelium, and on the thick mycelium grow many small gray-white mushrooms the size of a fingernail, but strangely, the mushrooms themselves do not glow.
The infected light rail car mentioned by the police officer just now was just as he said. It was unable to leave after the infection incident and remained motionless with all the doors half-open.
In this station that should have been bustling during the morning rush hour, there was no one except the five of them in protective suits.
"Let's search separately, we'll be on the left and you'll be on the right." Xiao Yao was the first to break the silence.
Ji Chenghong had no objection. At least for now, there seemed to be no difference between the left and the right.
"No problem. If you can't find any clues, can we meet back at the elevator in fifteen minutes?"
Xiao Yao nodded, "Okay."
After the two captains reached a consensus, they took their team members away. The communicator was not turned on yet. After they walked a few meters away, the conversation between Team 51 could not be heard clearly.
"You can choose either side." Xiao Yao turned and said to Xie Xuan.
The light rail runs in two directions. The infected train is on one side, and the other side is now temporarily suspended, but the doors are closed, so it doesn't seem worth investigating.
Xie Xuan thought for a moment and pointed to the side where there were no trains. "I'll go that way."
"Okay. Meet here in ten minutes if you still can't find the entrance."
Xie Xuan nodded, "I understand."
The five people scattered. Except for Li Fei and Zhang Xiaoqian who acted together, the other three went in their respective directions to find the entrance to the field.
The infrastructure in District 6 can be said to be the best among the thirteen districts, especially in terms of public transportation. The light rail can basically meet the needs of most people for cheap and convenient travel.
Xie Xuan has always taken the light rail to and from get off work, so she is very familiar with the basic structure inside the station.
After coming down from the elevator, there are platforms on both sides. There are glass doors in front of the platforms to prevent people or objects from falling onto the tracks.
Now the glass door is covered with glowing mycelium, making it impossible to see what is behind the door.
Xie Xuan walked a few meters forward along the door. All around were the same light silver color. After looking at it for a long time, she could hardly tell where the mycelium was thicker.
Time passed by minute by minute, and Xie Xuan circled back and forth several times but still found nothing.
Seeing that the ten minutes were about to be up, Xie Xuan stood by the glass door and suddenly thought of the last place she had been ignoring.
She turned around and saw that the glass door was blocked tightly by mycelium.
Xie Xuan raised his hand and pulled away the mycelium covering it, revealing a gap large enough to see what was behind.
But when Xie Xuan saw the scene behind the glass door clearly, she subconsciously held her breath.
