Have you been infected?
when?
Qin Ze stared blankly at the tree fruit handed to him.
It was the same transport team, the same team leader, and the same tree fruit.
The team leader, however, was emaciated and looked like he was about to die.
After Qin Ze received the fruit, the transport team slowly drove into the city.
Everyone's faces were etched with exhaustion, as if they had just gone through a fierce and intense battle.
The streets were still bustling with people, but everyone's face was as pale as paper.
When did I get infected?
Qin Ze was completely unaware.
Even now, he doesn't feel any physical discomfort.
"Huh? You've been infected? What kind of infection?"
"Are you blind? It's already looping."
"Pretty good, the life of a leader starting from scratch."
" The Pretty God is getting a phobia of tree fruits, eh?"
"..."
The clone didn't even realize when things started going wrong.
Nowadays, everyone is in different places, and everyone experiences time at a different pace.
Therefore, no one noticed Qin Ze's inexplicable and unusual appearance at that time.
Brother Devour said in a deep voice, "The spatial portal to the Forest Clan is closed."
Qin Ze's expression was solemn.
It seems that this wasn't just a "hallucination" targeting him alone; everyone was drawn into it.
"That bastard Meng Die, I haven't even made a move yet, and she's already getting restless."
The Mist Lord said, " Meng Die's authority is space. The space you are in now, at least on the surface, appears normal and has not been reduced to lines."
Brother Devour then said, "There must be other Strange God involved."
Qin Ze seemed to know what Meng Die had been doing for so long while she was "missing".
She is waiting for reinforcements.
Qin Ze is waiting for the Star God to revive, Meng Die is also waiting for her teammates.
Brother Devour said, "I'll lead the First Army to provide support right now."
Qin Ze shook his head. "It takes at least five days to get from the Sea of Glaze to the Forest Clan. Meng Die won't give us that much time."
The Dharma King said, "I am with Thousand Faces in the Human Race. It will be faster to get there from Penglai City. Let's set off now."
Not only can't the spatial gate be used, but the Echo Red Shell is also unusable.
The space near the Forest Clan's Outpost City was locked by some kind of force.
Qin Ze strode towards the presidential palace.
On the way, he encountered Yan Miao again.
Yan Miao looked worse, but not as badly as the others.
"I don't know what's wrong with me lately, I just can't muster any strength at all."
Qin Ze frowned. "Didn't you notice anything amiss?"
Yan Miao thought about it carefully, "I used to be able to eat five bowls of rice in the morning, but this morning I only ate four bowls. Does that count?"
Qin Ze's face darkened.
Yan Miao was unaware that he had fallen into a kind of cycle.
"I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to check out the training ground."
Yan Miao waved his hand and strode heavily toward the training ground.
Have you noticed when we've fallen into a cycle?
Watching Yan Miao's retreating figure, Qin Ze asked Miss Sword Case.
However, Miss Sword Case did not respond.
Qin Ze's face darkened. "Damn it."
Miss Sword Case was also affected and was forced to "shut down".
Qin Ze strode to the presidential palace.
This time, he knocked on the door for a long time before his Second Sister finally opened it.
"Is something the matter?"
My Second Sister leaned against the door, looking drowsy.
Qin Ze said calmly, "It's noon."
Second Sister: (ᗒᗩᗕ)՞
" Little Deer, wake up! We overslept!"
Hearing the noise, the Little Deer sat up sleepily, its shoulder strap slipping off its large, smooth shoulder.
Good morning~
Qin Ze nodded. "Good morning."
The Little Deer gradually opened its eyes wide and immediately hugged the blanket to its chest.
The Second Sister quickly closed the door. "Don't look at what you shouldn't see."
Bang--
Qin Ze was now even more certain.
In the entire city, only he is now aware that a cycle is occurring.
"And Old Xing too."
Qin Ze entered the Void Traversal and arrived in front of Star Eyes the next second.
Star Eyes sat cross-legged on the ground and entered into deep meditation.
slap slap--
Qin Ze went up and hit two big punches.
" Old Xing, stop meditating!"
"We're doomed! The Strange God has attacked!"
slap slap--
Two more large sachets.
Her Star Eyes remained motionless.
Qin Ze thought to himself, "This is bad."
There are only two possibilities in this situation.
Old Xing either sent it, or he's locked in a dark room fighting.
Qin Ze preferred the latter.
Old Xing is the strongest in Outpost City.
If he were Meng Die, he would definitely take special care of her as well.
Qin Ze breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, the chief scientist went to study the Rubik's Cube Stele.
Otherwise, this whole group would be wiped out.
Woo~ woo~ woo~
Just as Qin Ze was pondering a countermeasure, an alarm sounded over the Outpost City, signaling an attack by strange beasts.
He immediately looked at the city wall and saw that the soldiers were all pale-faced, as if they hadn't slept for days and nights.
Boom boom boom--
As the beast tide approached, the city's defensive weapons opened fire.
But before long, the city's defense system began to shut down as the soldiers fell asleep one after another.
" Qin Ze, you brat, come and face your death!"
The fluttering black butterflies coalesced into the form of Meng Die.
Qin Ze cleaved the heavens with a single sword strike, only to be easily subdued by Meng Die.
"You better hide well. If I catch you, I guarantee you'll wish you were dead."
Verbal battles are the most troublesome.
Qin Ze was certain that the person standing in front of him was not Meng Die herself.
Meng Die was taken aback upon hearing Qin Ze's words, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
"I really underestimated you. This is only the second time, and you've already noticed something amiss."
Meng Die's lips slowly curled into a smile, "But it doesn't matter. From the moment you began your Deep Descent, your death was already sealed."
Snap
Meng Die typed a message: "See you in the next game..."
Qin Ze turned around, and the giant black python reappeared.
Without giving him any time to react, it swallowed him whole into its large stomach.
Forest Clan Outpost City.
Meng Die stood with her feet in mid-air.
Beside her stood a " Snake Woman ".
The Snake Woman's skin was covered in black snake scales, and her face consisted of only a mouth and a single black eyeball inside it.
The snake scales on its body kept wriggling, but upon closer inspection, it was easy to see that they were thin snakes tightly intertwined.
The Snake Woman said, "This is the third Deep Descent; it's almost over."
Meng Die nodded slightly. "How about Star Eyes? Are you confident?"
The Snake Woman scoffed, "My Sequence is above his."
"Just a simpleton. I left him in the first realm, and he's still looking for me. He's adorably silly."
Meng Die said in a deep voice, "It's a pity that Yue Sheng isn't here."
"I didn't notice when he left, otherwise I could have waited for him to come back and wiped them all out."
The Snake Woman didn't seem to care. " Curse Extinction is already waiting for him."
boom--
The two women turned around at the sound, and a hole was ripped open in the sky in the distance, with lightning flashing and thunder roaring all around, and flames raging.
Seeing this, Meng Die said, "It seems that Curse Extinction is already welcoming our guests."
The Snake Woman stretched out her arms toward the Forest Clan's Outpost City, cackling wickedly, "Continue to Deep Descent this beautiful dream!"
The phantom of a giant black python coalesced above the Outpost City.
The giant python lowered its head, opened its blood-red maw, and bit down on the entire city.
(I'm taking a break for one chapter. I'll be resuming double updates from now on. I can't keep up anymore. I've had tinnitus for over half a month, and I'm sleeping less and less lately. I need to take some time to adjust. I don't want to send the book before it's finished.)
