Wilderness Age

What is it like to enter the ocean of consciousness of others?

All the joys and sorrows that Yu Ze had experienced rushed to Chu Xingzhou in an instant and hit his heart. The memories lightly tapped his soul like a feather, causing a huge shock in his spiritual world.

He slowly opened his eyes, and those meteor-like bright light and shadow fragments gradually fell, and in the halo, Yu Ze's worried face focused and formed in front of his eyes.

"Xiaozhou, are you okay?" Seeing that Chu Xingzhou hadn't spoken for a long time, Yu Ze urged him with concern.

The wood spirit floated between the two, and Puka Puka glowed green, as if waiting for a good show.

Chu Xingzhou looked at Yu Ze, and said softly, "I'm fine, I found the reason why they lost control."

"That's great!"

Yu Ze's spirit lifted, the unknown dangers in the wild brought people the greatest pressure and also the most bewilderment. With specific clues, no matter whether it is easy to deal with or not, at least there is a direction.

Because everyone's safety was at stake, Chu Xingzhou and Yu Ze returned to the temporary camp and shared their findings with everyone.

In order not to waste time, Chu Xingzhou clarified his investigation results in one simple sentence: "They were parasitized."

Several voices rang out at the same time: "Parasite? What kind of parasite? Is it the kind of...parasite we know?"

"No, it's a kind of spider." Chu Xingzhou recalled the images he saw through the "eyes" of the wood spirit, "Not only your companions, but a few humans have also been parasitized sporadically in the past few days. It's a A kind of small snow-white spiders, smaller than rice grains. The spider silk that floats in the wind helps them get close to their prey, and crawls into the opponent's body through the mouth, nose, and ears when the opponent is sleeping or careless. After a few hours, the parasite is gone It will be completed, the host loses its self-awareness, and the remaining skin becomes the puppet of these little spiders."

"This... sounds easy to deal with? Just be careful not to let them get close?" Zhou Xiaotong looked at Chu Xingzhou and at his boss for approval, but neither of them answered her immediately.

"I remembered something." Yu Ze spoke slowly, expressing his thoughts, "It is a well-known fact that when you see a cockroach at home, it means..."

Everyone knows what it means, there is a nest of cockroaches behind a cockroach.

So, is there a nest of spiders behind a parasitic spider?

Zhou Xiaotong couldn't help shivering.

They have all experienced the fall of Ningcheng, and the tingling scene is still vivid in their memory.

And here is not far from Ningcheng.

"What should we do? Are we going to run away?" Zhou Xiaotong asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Stupid." Suo Tianyou raised his hand and hit her with a hammer, "No direction is absolutely safe. If you run in the dark, you may run into danger without knowing it."

Miss Zhou was taught a lesson and kept quiet.

Suo Tianyou turned to Chu Xingzhou and asked, "Is it possible to find the nests of these spiders and figure out their number?"

They now know that there is such a parasitic spider threatening them in the dark, but they know nothing about the spider's population size, habits, and hunting territories.

Chu Xingzhou: "There are no more clues, it should not be in the woods."

Several people talked for a long time and finally felt that there was no need to be overly nervous.

"At present, the number of spiders is not much. At least in this willow forest, they are not a climate. Just be vigilant and don't let them get close." Chu Xingzhou said.

Wu Wei: "In this case, it is more difficult to sleep. Either everyone does not sleep, or the person in charge of the night watch has to keep his eyes open for everyone."

"Let me come." When everyone looked over, Chu Xingzhou reminded everyone of the existence of the wood spirit, "With it, there is no problem in guarding a small area where we spend the night to ensure that no foreign objects invade."

"...It seems to be true. The question is, is this guy credible?" Wu Wei was a little worried whether they would be tricked by this slippery alien creature. If the spider parasitizes Chu Xingzhou, it may also help the wood spirit get rid of its restraint.

"When the spiritual link is forced to be established, I can get all the information in the woods through it, so it can't hide it from me, so don't worry." Chu Xingzhou said.

In this way, everyone was relieved.

After the countermeasures were decided, Yu Ze was not idle. He was digging through his space warehouse and found the insect repellent liquid that had been in stock for a long time.

The two girls joined hands to solve their physical needs a little further away, and when they came back, they saw Yu Ze spraying spray on the outside.

Zhou Xiaotong came over and sniffed: "What is this? The smell is a bit pungent..."

Xi Wei who was with her was much quieter, just smiled at Yu Ze.

Yu Ze: "Insect repellant."

"Hmm, no wonder it smells familiar." Zhou Xiaotong was stunned, her physique likes to sweat and attract mosquitoes, she often uses this kind of products in summer, and at the same time thinks that Yu Ze is quite magical, even collecting such non-essentials, who would run for his life When it comes to robbing and storing life-saving supplies such as food and medicine, it is not the priority.

"Does this work for spiders? I have used many brands of mosquito repellent, and the mosquitoes are not afraid of them." Zhou Xiaotong expressed doubts about the efficacy.

Yu Ze continued his movements without haste, with a clear and cold voice: "It may not work, try."

Zhou Xiaotong touched his nose, and after saying hello, he went back with Xi Wei.

Yu Ze raised his eyes to look at the backs of the two. He still remembered the two girls hugging each other and weeping when their teammate was discovered. Now they seem to have recovered.

"and many more."

The girls turned around.

Yu Ze handed over a bottle, which contained exactly this kind of insect repellent: "Take this, apply it on the wrist behind the ear, it will help a little."

Xi Wei took it and showed a friendly smile again: "Thank you."

Zhou Xiaotong rolled his eyes: "Boss is right, your team members are pretty good."

Suo Tianyou, Chu Xingzhou, and Wu Wei were carrying out a carpet-style rummaging and clearing of the area where they camped tonight, to ensure that no bug or spider slipped through the net, and the work was almost completed when the girls came back.

Yu Ze kindly provided them with a tent, which won Zhou Xiaotong's enthusiastic praise: "Yu Ze, you are amazing, and the space ability is really convenient, it is a must-have for home travel!"

Wu Wei and Xiao Jiu also got into the tent to go to sleep, and the two little pets, Xiao Hong and Xiao Hei, went to find a place to play by themselves.

According to the agreement, Chu Xingzhou was in charge of the night watch, and Yu Ze accompanied Chu Xingzhou to keep watch.

He took out the insect repellent from the space, and motioned Chu Xingzhou to apply it on himself for an extra layer of protection.

"Well, you paint it for me."

"Ok?"

Chu Xingzhou tilted his head, showing his neck and a slight smile: "Well, come on."

"……it is good."

Yu Ze brushed away Chu Xingzhou's broken hair, and used his index finger to dab lightly on the back of his ears and neck. Ears and noses are the key sites for parasitic spiders to invade and need to be protected. In addition to the exposed skin such as wrists and ankles, he did not miss it.

After finishing, Chu Xingzhou naturally took the insect repellent liquid from Yu Ze's hand, and said, "Let me help you."

Yu Ze accepted the help silently.

Chu Xingzhou's fingers flicked gently, with just the right amount of strength.

Yu Ze couldn't help trembling.

...The earlobe was slightly itchy when touched.
