Night gradually fell, and the forest became increasingly eerie and strange. The croaking of frogs, chirping of insects, and strange cries from afar only heightened the tense atmosphere. In the dim environment, Li Pu stopped from time to time to listen to the surrounding sounds, proceeding with caution.

A damp smell permeated everything.

The entire rainforest felt like a mysterious tomb. Li Pu didn't even know how he had managed to trek to that plant, as the return journey seemed so long.

Fortunately, without fighting, the speed of Qi recovery barely kept up with the consumption of Nine Phoenix Cleanses Filth.

Supported by Li Pu, Ada Wong felt strangely clear-headed.

Along the way, she suggested that Li Pu look for some branches to use as firewood for a campfire at the camp. One of them picked and observed dry branches suitable for burning, while the other was responsible for chopping wood.

Ada Wong looked at the firewood in her arms and said quietly, "It's a good thing it's not raining, or we'd have to use our body heat to dry the firewood."

"I think it would feel better to use it to dry you," Li Pu replied playfully.

The seasoned Ada smiled slightly on her ice-cold face, "I think so too."

Suddenly, a scene of hell on earth entered their vision.

They discovered a Zombie lying on the ground, and Li Pu recognized it by its clothes as one he had killed.

However, the Zombie's upper and lower limbs had been torn apart, and repulsive green mucus was splattered on the surrounding ground. Its body was no longer in the shape of a person, but seemed to have become part of a plant, or rather, nourishment for a plant.

Swarming out of the cracks in its body were countless slender branches and vines, covered with all sorts of eyeballs and large, lipless mouths full of sharp teeth, like xenomorphs bursting out of the rotting flesh and blood.

These branches and vines cooperated with the rest of the body, frantically pulling at the broken flesh, so that the remaining parts could burst out of the Host's body as quickly as possible. They continuously tore open the flesh, oozing pus and mixed blood, which mixed together to form disgusting green buds and a large number of hyphae forming fungal masses, and were still undergoing further spread and evolution.

This growth method completely violated the law of conservation of mass.

The whole scene made Li Pu and Ada Wong's hair stand on end. The terrifying mass of flesh, broken blood, and collapsing tissue made up the remains of this body. This Zombie had completely lost its human appearance and essence, becoming as strange and terrifying as a creature and a plant.

"This feels like... a bloody version of artistic fantasy..." Li Pu's inexplicable and unfounded association made his nauseous body feel a little better.

"Hmm..." Li Pu noticed this and silently noted it down: These associations can help me stabilize my physiological state and emotions, I'll do it more often in the future.

He left Ada Wong where she was and cautiously went forward to investigate.

As Li Pu approached, these branches and fungal masses began to wither and burn rapidly.

The lipless mouths could only open wide because they had no vocal cords, and the remaining branches took the opportunity to send the eyeballs into them in an attempt to survive.

Seeing this, Li Pu continued to move forward, and everything in his path began to burn violently. In the end, the terrifying area caused by the Zombie's sprouting was completely burned away.

Li Pu looked at the prompt on the panel that [Nine Phoenix Cleanses Filth] was activated and rejoiced, "It's a good thing it's a metaphysical evil. If it were a biological one, Ada and I would have become like it by now."

Qi Flame, the Zombie bursts into flames upon touching it. Nine Phoenix Cleanses Filth caused the newly sprouted virus mutant plant to spontaneously combust and be completely burned away.

"So the Angel Virus is also a product of the metaphysical category?" The more Li Pu thought about it, the more confused he became.

"Chapter 1: Escaping from the Zombie Mouth, Chapter 1999: Looking Down on the Immortals? This is too much like a web novel."

(Solemn statement: This book will definitely not take the path of cultivating immortality, and the above situation will not occur, so readers can rest assured.)

"Maybe... I can use Zombies as fuel in the future?"

The woman in Jericho City dropped the cigarette in her hand when she saw the scene transmitted by the drone.

She hurriedly put out the white bear skin carpet that was about to catch fire.

Without feeling sorry for the famous carpet, she looked at Li Pu in the picture and murmured, "This kid, can he restrain the Angel Virus? Does he have antibodies?"

She hurriedly dialed the golden retro phone on the table, and the call was connected a few seconds later: "This is Wolf Mother, prepare to dispatch the elite of the Special Operations Department, the mission location is the zoo on the edge of the explored area of ​​Sector 11."

"Yes, yes, I will replenish the documents for you later."

Chapter 50 The True Face of the Tropical Pavilion

Small camp campfire.

Li Pu found the medicine in the gathered supplies and prepared to treat Ada's wounds again.

After the previous passion, Ada's gauze was already stained with blood.

He came to Ada Wong with gauze and a pile of medicine. Just as he was about to ask how to deal with it, Liang Mei's figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

In just a short moment, Liang Mei disappeared from his sea of ​​consciousness with a smile.

Some knowledge that he had never learned before appeared in his brain. He skillfully identified the types of medicines, even though he did not recognize the Japanese on those medicines.

He carefully cleaned and disinfected the skin around the wound to ensure that there was no risk of bacterial infection.

First, he wiped the wound with alcohol, gently cleaning the injured skin. The stimulation of the alcohol made Ada frown slightly, but she endured it, even experiencing a strange pleasure.

He gently and evenly covered the gauze around the wound, creating a protective barrier without causing pain. His skills were exceptionally pure, without a trace of hesitation in the process, and Anomaly regarded the lady's wound as his own responsibility.

Finally, he carefully applied the medicine to the gauze, ensuring that the medicine could penetrate the wound through the gauze. The gentle movements, without aggravating the lady's pain, evenly distributed the medicine on the injured area.

Throughout the process, his gestures were gentle and focused, as if he knew how to treat the wound to minimize Ada's pain. His actions revealed a kind of Old Chinese Medicine-like concern and warmth, which made Ada feel inexplicably comforted and relieved.

"This is done. The wound needs some time to heal. You need to rest, pay attention to cleanliness and the condition of the wound, and tell me as soon as possible if you feel any discomfort." He pushed up his non-existent glasses.

Among the complicated medicines, Li Pu found a few bottles of anti-inflammatory drugs and handed them to Ada Wong.

He had been at a loss when looking at these medicines before, but now he knew them like the back of his hand.

"Penetrating wound, injured on the inside of the thigh, deep wound, limbs have less blood supply, which can easily affect the wound's healing speed."

"It will take 2 to 6 months of rest to fully recover. If you continue to exercise in such a dangerous distance, you may have to have an amputation." He said seriously what appeared in his mind.

"You can even do this?" Ada Wong had assumed that the previous treatment was due to the urgency of the situation and Li Pu's lack of sufficient medication to treat her in detail.

[Ada Wong Affection Points +1] [Current Goddess Affection Points: 70/100] [Affection Points acquisition difficulty increased, subsequent Affection Points increase reduced to 0.5]

"Heh, amputation is better than losing your life," Ada Wong said lightly.

"Am I really useless? I took the mission to protect you, but most of the time I'm the one being protected by you." She looked at the person in front of her gently, feeling a little down.

"Then give me the reward for the mission~" Li Pu said playfully, wanting to cheer Ada up.

"Dream on!"

After that, the atmosphere became more and more ambiguous, dry wood meeting kindling, a lonely man and a woman, in short, without hurting Ada's wound, Li Pu had a great time.

Ada fell asleep in the tent.

Li Pu peeled off the wetter outer skin of the collected firewood, chopped it into sections as firewood and put it into the campfire. He stored some of the excess in the simple tent built with the cloak to prevent it from becoming damp.

After doing all this, he touched the sealed bag containing plant pollen, staring blankly at the burning campfire.

"Activating Nine Phoenix Cleanses Filth will dispel the hallucinogenic effects of the pollen, but if I don't activate it, I'll be affected too. If I keep my distance..." Then he thought of the Zombie that had turned into a "bloody version of Art Attack": "Why that Zombie turned out like that is completely unknown. If it's because of the death of that flower, then once Nine Phoenix Cleanses Filth is deactivated, will Ada and I suffer the same fate?"

He hesitated again and again, still feeling that he shouldn't be experimenting with pollen in this dangerous rainforest.

A drone projected a holographic image of the woman from Jericho City: "Kid, go in and rest. The drone will automatically be on guard."

Busy writing complex dispatch reports, the woman from Jericho City codenamed Wolf Mother didn't know about the great battle in the tent.

"How long will it take for your helicopter to arrive?" the woman in Li Pu's holographic image asked.

The woman exhaled a puff of smoke: "Soon, wake up early tomorrow, I have good news for you."

Li Pu looked at the distorted rainforest trees behind the drone and pulled out the fire axe from his waist, saying, "I'm afraid we won't have to wait until tomorrow morning."

In the dark night, the trees began to twist, as if awakened by some force, their roots rising from the ground. The tree roots extended, winding across the ground like giant tentacles. These roots crawled through the moist soil, like nimble snakes.

The trunks and branches of the trees began to twist, creaking, and then the trees rose up by their roots, one after another, crawling out of the soil. Hidden beneath the roots were a group of Zombies, who, through long periods of interweaving, repeatedly intertwined their roots and bodies, jointly constructing a terrifying symbiotic relationship.

These trees also showed previously unnoticeable human forms.

"Sure enough, this entire rainforest is a larger version of Art Attack!"

Chapter 52 Primordial Domain and Tifa

The fog began to spread again, and it became thicker and thicker. The ghostly Corpse Tree constantly twisted its trunk and branches, revealing faces.

Neon-colored, dreamlike light flickered in the fog, enveloping the entire rainforest.

What appeared to be water from the distant lakeside area, after all the plants conveyed a strong and low wail, irrigated with the fog, turning the rainforest into a swamp.

That sound seemed to penetrate the dark, stagnant water.

Accompanied by disgusting mucus and wriggling plant masses frantically spreading and growing around, mucus, tumors, eyeballs, and sharp teeth, these Anomalous and psychedelic features combined with the ubiquitous plants.

Many different and beautiful flowers bloomed on the same plant.

The tropical pavilion, transformed into a rainforest, revealed its true face at night.

A fungal body, or rather, an ecosystem, that was larger and more intricate than the plant Zombies seen before.

Teal-colored lichen moss, but in reality, it should be some kind of fungus or eukaryote. Tight, curling filaments grew from inside the plants, carrying an earthy scent, along with a hint of rotten honey.

One after another, humanoid plants, some covered in flowers, others overgrown with vines, appeared around the camp.

Li Pu warily observed the surrounding Anomalous changes. The alert Ada Wong had already emerged from the tent, raising a small submachine gun to guard the surroundings.

"What's going on?" she asked Li Pu, back-to-back with him, as she glanced with distaste at the forest that had turned into a muddy swamp not far away.

"I'm afraid this is the real appearance of this place. Those survivors couldn't have been defeated by such simple daytime illusions and bugs."

He tried Nine Phoenix Cleanses Filth, but other than barely suppressing the growth of the hyphae, it no longer had any effect.

On the other side of the drone, the woman was completely stunned: "Primordial Domain? How could the most dangerous contaminated area appear when we haven't even approached the city?"

Just as she was surprised, in a flash of light in the thick fog, the image transmitted by the drone slowly filled with static, and finally the signal was completely cut off.

She immediately picked up the phone, "Special Operations, suspend operations, risk level in the target area has increased."

"What? You know? The higher-ups ordered us to continue exploring?" She angrily slammed the phone receiver onto the landline...

The drone, having lost its signal, remained hovering in place.

Not far from the camp, an Anomaly occurred on a bush.

Ada Wong vigilantly aimed her gun there.

A huge Rafflesia arnoldii emerged from the ground, its floral stamens rapidly growing and intertwining.
