The system is four years ahead of schedule, but Weird is still a cub.

"Captain Shen, please come here!" At this time, the medical staff's shouting interrupted Shen Ge's thoughts. It seemed that there was a problem with Chen Jing's treatment.

When Shen Ge walked towards the medical tent, since he had taken off his red mist armor, classmate Xiao Qi put a pair of glasses on his face, and the mirror projected the image captured by the blood spider in the distant base.

In the picture, the century-old tree has completely turned into flesh and blood, coiled on the ruins of the base like an octopus.

"It seems that fighting back is not as easy as we imagined." Shen Ge sighed and walked into the medical tent.

At this time, a medical team was surrounding Chen Jing. Because he was severely corroded by the alienated nano-energy armor, the medical team had never seen such a situation and did not know how to start for a while.

"Shen, Captain." The dying Chen Jing saw Shen Ge come in and wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and only uttered these three words.

Shen Ge said: "I know the general situation. According to my guess, I'm afraid that even you have been calculated this time. If you want revenge, you better survive first."

Although Shen Ge knew everything about Chen Jing's matter without telling him, he could guess most of it based on the intelligence he had at hand. The other party was already holding his breath, so there was no point in letting him continue talking.

Shen Ge took out a strange energy inhibitor and injected it into Chen Jing, then said: "This is the latest strange energy inhibitor developed by the Special Strategy Department of Rong City. Whether you can survive depends on your willpower."

After saying that, Shen Ge looked at Emily and said, "I'll leave him to you. I'll go to the base and see if I can get Professor Martin back."

Emily opened her mouth, but didn't say the last word. She just nodded silently.

If even Shen Ge cannot change the current situation, I am afraid that even if Australia's support for the Gui organization comes, it will not be able to solve the problem.

The light beam that suddenly exploded from the fruit on the top of the giant flesh and blood tree in the direction of the base tore a spiral gap in the cloud layer. The surrounding black fog of strange energy was spreading crazily, and the speed was even more terrifying than the blockade area when the strange disaster occurred in Australia!
After approaching the base, Shen Ge discovered that there was actually another troop trying to enter the base that was "fused" by the giant flesh and blood tree, and the leader was Mark.

"Mark, why are you here?" Shen Ge stopped Mark and asked with a little surprise.

Mark was very surprised when he saw Shen Ge: "Captain Shen, you are here to support us too?"

"Support?" Shen Ge asked puzzledly.

Mark nodded and said, "After Commander Wilson was killed, Deputy Commander Robert gathered us, the first batch of anti-ghost agents who escaped from the hotel, to support the base. The headquarters sent a message that Professor Martin was trapped in the research department. Now the first priority is to rescue Professor Martin. Perhaps only he knows how to suppress these weirdnesses."

"Professor Martin..." Shen Ge was just about to talk about what he had observed about Professor Martin's current situation through the blood spider, but the ground suddenly shook violently, and more than a dozen huge flesh-and-blood vine tentacles with a diameter of at least two or three meters stretched out from the ground and slapped down towards everyone.

I don't know if it was because the noise made by the crowd was too loud, or because the giant flesh and blood tree smelled the scent of humans, but it actually controlled hundreds of thick flesh and blood tentacles to attack this area.

Shen Ge and others were immediately scattered by the intensive attacks. Many anti-terrorism agents who were unable to dodge were directly killed by the thick and long flesh tentacles and were beaten into a pool of meat paste.

Mark's combat uniform was destroyed during the anti-ghost operation in the mines. This time when he came back, Wilson rewarded him with a new set of grim armor.

Although it is not as advanced as Chen Jing's nano-powered armor, it is at least guaranteed not to be a thing that will "turn into a monster" at any time, and is relatively safe.

I saw black mist coming out of the metal box behind him, and then the strange bone armor spread along his back and all over his body.

The moment the visor covered him, he raised his hand and swung out a bone whip that formed a rotating blade net and minced the attacking tentacles into pieces of meat.

"Stand back!" Mark's voiceprint was processed by the armor with a mechanical roar. He dragged the two wounded into the huge pit and watched the green smoke coming out of the severed tentacles. The granulation tissue regenerated at a speed visible to the naked eye.

A warning red light flashed in the tactical eyepiece, and Mark's pupils shrank slightly. He found that every piece of meat was releasing nano-spores. He turned around and threw off the new combat suit on his body. The special fibers unfolded into an electromagnetic barrier, absorbing all the deadly particles.

At the same time, Shen Ge also noticed the spore-like things spraying out of the flesh and blood, and the voice of Xiao Qi's classmate rang in his ears: "Master, this is not an ordinary mutant. The spores seem to carry memory tampering factors, and those who come into contact with them will experience cognitive confusion."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xiao Qi took the initiative to help Shen Ge complete the covering of the red mist armor to prevent him from being affected by these strange energy spores.

Although even the fifth or sixth level weird and strange energy erosion could hardly affect Shen Ge's mental consciousness, Xiao Qi naturally had to consider things more comprehensively to ensure his safety.

At the same time, Mark's exclamation confirmed Xiaoqi's judgment. A wounded person in the huge pit suddenly tore off his protective clothing, and earthworm-like wriggling marks appeared under his skin.

"I see heaven! Lord, please forgive our sins!" The pair of strange warriors rushed towards the fungal carpet with crazy smiles, and were instantly swallowed up by the mycelium and turned into nutrients.

"..." Shen Ge frowned upon seeing this, obviously not expecting that the erosion ability of these strange energy spores could be comparable to the fifth-level strange energy erosion. An ordinary strange agent would immediately have hallucinations if he inhaled a little bit.

The enemy agent who was swallowed by the fungal blanket was a beautiful Chinese. The first thing she saw when she had hallucinations was heaven and the Lord. It seemed that she was a believer?
As Shen Ge raised his hand, the red mist armor on his right arm condensed several bone spurs, which then pierced into the ground fiercely. As the silent strange domain spread, high-frequency vibration waves spread along the fungal carpet.

Cracks appeared in the flesh and blood, revealing the dense bundles of nerves underneath.

Shen Ge was trying to destroy the blood veins of the giant flesh and blood tree, trying to stop its crazy vine tentacles from attacking. On the other side, Mark and others were once again besieged by flesh and blood vines in the deep pit. They had no choice but to flee deeper into the pit, apparently being forced into a trap.

Mark and his companions were speeding through a maze of flesh and blood that resembled blood vessels. From time to time, deformed remains of rotten flesh and blood would pounce on them.

These remains and deformities are very different from the humanoid monsters. They are not monsters, but corpses controlled by parasitic monsters.

An anti-Ghost Warrior smashed the head of a cyborg monster with his Ghost Rifle. The mucus splashed on the protective mask, making a hissing sound. He saw the combat uniforms left on the bodies of the wreckage and said in disbelief, "These are... the guards from before the base?"

"I'm afraid it's worse than that..." Mark used the Ghost Energy Blade to cut open the ventilation duct, signaling the Ghost Warrior following him to go in.

The inner wall of the pipe was covered with pulsating blood vessels, and sticky liquid dripped onto the armor, causing white smoke to rise. The strange energy armor suddenly issued a sharp alarm. Apparently, the intensity of the strange energy erosion here exceeded the armor's tolerance.

"Captain, if we continue to go deeper I'm afraid..." The pair of ghost warriors didn't say anything else, but everyone knew what he wanted to say.

Mark said in a deep voice: "I understand, but you have to know... Professor Martin is the international hope for the Gui Organization. If we can't rescue him, then this place... I'm afraid it will really be hopeless."

"But... isn't there Captain Shen? Maybe he can... rescue Professor Martin. We don't necessarily have to go deeper, right?" someone said.

Mark said angrily: "Levi, you are a glorious anti-ghost warrior, how can you be so timid! I understand that Captain Shen is indeed very powerful, but he is only one person. No matter how powerful a person is, his power will eventually run out! At times like this, if each of us does our part, won't there be greater hope!" "I understand that I am indeed not as powerful as Captain Shen, nor do I have his ability, but I believe that as long as I work hard to do what I can, I will be able to help Captain Shen and the world!"

"Levi, to stop the world from being led to doomsday by the weird, isn't this the original intention of us becoming anti-weird warriors?"

Levis and others heard this and said nothing more.

Just as Mark said, when they came to Australia as "support", they had already given up everything and were determined to stop the spread of the disaster.

However, facing the terrifying giant tree of flesh and blood, fear gradually overcame reason. Coupled with the strength Shen Ge showed in the fight against the monsters in the mine, they subconsciously placed their hopes on Shen Ge.

At this moment, Mark suddenly stumbled and supported the flesh wall, and the tactical gloves of the strange energy armor scratched blood on the bacterial membrane. Something strange happened. The mycelium on the wall suddenly condensed into crystals, and a translucent figure emerged. It was a researcher in a white coat, who was yelling at the recorder: "...The experimental subject is absorbing the strange energy core! It must be stopped..." The image stopped abruptly.

Mark was stunned when he saw this scene. He couldn't tell whether what he just saw was an illusion or some kind of image projected by the flesh and blood wall absorbing the energy of the strange armor.

But he had no time to think about it at this time, because the end of the "vascular channel" was in front of him.

He didn't know whether the end led to the research department or somewhere in the base. There was only one road in front of him, and he had to go on it whether he wanted to or not!
When he reached the end of the vascular channel, even the battle-hardened Mark's breathing stopped.

Under the flesh and blood dome with a diameter of thirty meters, countless umbilical cord-like catheters hang from the top and gather in the center, with dozens of human bodies wrapped like cocoons.

Professor Martin's haggard face was vaguely visible under the film, his abdomen bulged in a strange arc, and a lava-like red light was flowing under his skin.

"It's Professor Martin and the researchers!" exclaimed a ghost warrior.

Mark felt an abnormal vibration coming from the strange energy armor. This feeling started from the moment he entered the blood vessel channel. Because of this, he almost stumbled and fell to the ground. Fortunately, he held on to the wall of flesh and blood to stabilize his body. However, some strange energy was absorbed by him and he saw some strange pictures.

The alarm of the strange energy armor became intermittent, and the tactical mask of the strange energy armor began to flash garbled characters. Mark suddenly realized that the fungal blanket in the whole room was resonating!

Mark suddenly knelt down and retched, black blood oozing out of the neck of his protective suit. On his exposed neck, three blood spots were forming a spiral pattern.

"Captain, captain!"

"Captain, what's wrong with you?"

"Captain, are you okay?"

Several anti-terrorism agents immediately surrounded him and checked Mark's injuries.

"No... no. The weird armor seems to be out of control." Mark said painfully, his body uncontrollably raised the weird rifle, but the muzzle was pointed at his jaw.

At this moment, a streak of red blood flashed by, and Mark's strange rifle was cut into two pieces. But more hyphae rose from the ground, entangled Mark's limbs and dragged him towards the embryo in the center.

Everyone saw a flash before their eyes, and a red figure appeared in front of them. The red blood instantly cut off the rotten tentacles extending from the fungal blanket that was entangled with Mark.

"Just now when we were up there, someone inhaled the strange energy spores. That thing will affect consciousness. Mark should have been controlled and had hallucinations!" Shen Ge said to everyone.

Everyone was surprised and then happy because of Shen Ge's sudden appearance. After hearing what he said, their faces became solemn and they immediately activated the self-inspection mode of their combat uniforms.

Obviously, these anti-ghost warriors should not be affected by the ghost energy spores. After all, if they were affected, they should have the same symptoms as Mark.

After Shen Ge stretched out his blood-corrupted tentacles to pull Mark back from the fungal tentacles, he slapped him a dozen times: "Wake up, can this level of erosion control your mind?"

"..."

Mark was speechless, twitching and coughing up black mucus, his pupils refocused: "Captain Shen...it's rewriting my synapses..."

"What the hell?" Shen Ge obviously didn't understand.

Mark pointed at his strange armor and put his hand on his abdomen.

Shen Ge tore off Mark's strange armor and found that the spiral blood spots on his neck extended with black blood vessels to the abdomen.

Shen Ge stretched out his right hand, and the red mist armor condensed into a strange energy dagger at his fingertips. Then the tip of the blade pierced the spiral blood spots on Mark's neck. The foul-smelling pus and blood splashed on the fungal blanket and were instantly absorbed.

At the same time, after the first wave of attacks from the rotten tentacles extending from the fungal blanket was blocked by Shen Ge, more rotten tentacles extended from the surrounding areas, including a disgusting thing similar to an "umbilical cord" catheter that tied up Professor Martin and the researcher and attacked together.

Then, the tips of the tentacles and ducts split into lamprey-like mouthparts and attacked Shen Ge, Mark and others at the same time.

Mark's energy rifle shattered three tentacles, but the exploding mucus splashed on the energy armor, directly corroding a bloody hole.

"What a strong erosion effect!" Mark exclaimed.

He had just been awakened from his hallucination by Shen Ge. It was already rare for him to react so quickly to stop the tentacles' attack, and it was even more difficult to avoid the splashing mucus.

At least Mark was protected by the ghost armor, but some ghost agents who were only wearing combat uniforms were immediately melted into a pool of rotten meat by the highly corrosive mucus.

Mark shouted at Shen Ge, "There are too many of these ghost things. Captain Shen, rescue Professor Martin and leave quickly. Don't worry about us!"

Shen Ge looked at Professor Martin who was hanging in the air in the distance, his life or death unknown. He really wanted to save Professor Martin, but he didn't think it was that easy.

If the giant tree of flesh and blood wanted to eat Professor Martin, it would have eaten him long ago. Why did it just hang there? Doesn't that mean there is a trap here and come to rescue him quickly? (End of this chapter)
