Chapter 98 Mold
Zhou Yuan took out his Opple smartphone and opened the international map for positioning.

Currently located in the Amazon rainforest in South America.

He switched the time to local time. It was currently 5:36 pm and it should be dark in another 30-60 minutes.

There wasn't much time left, Zhou Yuan knew he had to act quickly, and immediately looked around.

The Amazon rainforest occupies half of the world's rainforest area and 20% of the forest area. It is the world's largest and most species-rich tropical rainforest and is known as the "lungs of the earth."

The rainforest has an outstanding biodiversity, with 250 million species of insects, tens of thousands of plants and about 2 species of birds and mammals, so it is known as the "World Kingdom of Plants and Animals".

The surrounding trees are mostly tropical evergreens and deciduous broad-leaved trees, generally more than 30 meters high. The treetops are densely packed and towering, intertwined together to form a green sky.

Vines climb along the trunks and branches from one tree to another, from the bottom of the tree to the top of the tree, and then hang upside down from the top of the tree, intertwining and entwining like a dense net.

Shrubs and ferns are dense and luxuriant, epiphytes are particularly developed, and algae, mosses, lichens and orchids are attached to the trunks, branches and even leaves of trees and shrubs, forming a spectacular sight of trees growing on trees and grass growing on leaves.

The superior and stable ecological environment provides excellent habitats and reproduction conditions for countless creatures.

With just a quick glance, Zhou Yuan saw mosquitoes flying all over the sky, pythons crawling on branches, ants swarming in groups, brightly colored poison dart frogs, and poisonous spiders that almost blended in with the surrounding environment...

In this damn place, you can die if you are not careful.

And at this moment, he was surprised to find some strange phenomena.

——With him as the center, all the poisonous insects, mosquitoes, flies, blood leeches and pythons within a ten-meter radius were fleeing, not daring to get close to him at all.

"Because I tempered my body with dragon blood, I have gained some dragon power... Hey, I won't be afraid of mosquitoes in the summer anymore, that's good."

After a few seconds, Zhou Yuan withdrew his gaze. The Eye of Identification did not give any useful information. All that popped up were introductions to various plants and animals.

After a little thought, Zhou Yuan took out a prop from his backpack - a winged strawberry.

The effect of Wingsuit Strawberry is that after use, you gain 15 seconds of flying time, and the flying speed is equivalent to the running speed.

Zhou Yuan had won several wingsuit strawberries in the past month. He ate four of them in one gulp and gained one minute of flying time.

With a thought, he flew into the air, using the protective energy to break through the trees, reaching a height of a hundred meters, overlooking the vast sea of ​​rainforest below.

When the line of sight turned to the southwest, the Eye of Appraisal finally gave a useful note:
[8 kilometers away, there is a mansion built by a mysterious rich man. ]

Zhou Yuan squinted and looked carefully, but the distance was too far and he couldn't see the specific situation over there for the time being.

He tapped the screen of his phone, marked it on the map, and flew quickly in that direction. He waited until the effect of the wingsuit strawberry was about to end before he slowly descended diagonally.

As soon as my feet touched the ground, the flight time was over.

[You have arrived at the periphery of the first experimental area. The wall of the first experimental area is 47 meters ahead.]

The first experimental area? The wall?

Zhou Yuan turned into a black shadow and rushed forward regardless of the terrain. He stopped after advancing more than forty meters, stood up from the shadow, looked around, and did not see any wall in the rainforest.

He continued walking forward in confusion, and bang!

His face hit something.

"Air wall?" Zhou Yuan reached out and touched a solid wall.

The ghost walker was activated, and he passed through the wall and entered the so-called first experimental area. Then he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Behind the wall was no longer a lush tropical rainforest, but a distorted world covered with wriggling purple-red fungal carpets.

Those purple-red fungal mats have the texture of flesh and blood and look extremely disgusting.

[An unnamed new mold, the product of some ambitious people's suicidal desires, has completely lost control. These disgusting things have terrifying infectious abilities, so it's best not to get involved.]

Zhou Yuan looked back and saw a huge wall twenty meters high, also covered with purple-red fungal carpet.

Looking upwards, even the "sky" was dotted with purple-red fungal blankets, making the sunlight appear mottled and dim - in fact, this was not the real sky, but an artificial dome.

"From the looks of it, the experimental area should be completely isolated from the outside world, otherwise the mold would have already spread outside. If it spreads in the Amazon rainforest, the consequences... Tsk tsk, I simply can't imagine it.

If the mansion I'm looking for is also in the experimental area, then the person who built this place must be too rich, right?"

Zhou Yuan is currently about six or seven kilometers away from the mansion. If the mansion is within the experimental area, it means that the size of the experimental area far exceeds this length. And you have to know that this place is the Amazon rainforest, and the money needed to build an experimental area here is absolutely astronomical.

"The mold leaked, the experiment got out of control, and the relevant personnel did not take any countermeasures, which means they are probably dead."

Zhou Yuan stared at the mold squirming on the ground and said with a click of the tongue, "Resident Evil, huh... The player system isn't asking me to come and clean up their mess, is it?"

Without giving it any more thought, he turned into a black shadow and quickly flew across the ground, heading towards the depths of the forest contaminated by mold.

Along the way, Zhou Yuan saw many animals and plants that were infected with mold and turned into deformed forms.

The mosquitoes mutated to the size of an adult, their bodies were purple and red, and their sharp needle-like mouthparts seemed to be able to stab a person to death directly;

The crocodile is covered with purple mushrooms, blending in with the environment;
The abdomen of the more than ten-meter-long anaconda grew more than a dozen pairs of spider legs, and multiple pairs of wings grew on its back;

The huge purple-red carnivorous plant waved its fleshy tentacles, pierced a jaguar, and put it into its mouth to devour...

Zhou Yuan originally wanted to release the Weaver and let her control some deformed creatures to serve as combat force.

However, these purple-red molds have extremely strong spreading and pollution capabilities. Once infected, the body will undergo horrific deformation. If it is brought to the outside world, it may really cause a biochemical crisis, so we have to give up.

After walking three kilometers forward, another wall appeared in front of Zhou Yuan.

[You have arrived near the second experimental area. ]

He passed through the wall. The distortion in the second experimental area was even more serious. The purple-red mold seemed to have evolved and would actively attack living things. Even if he turned into a shadow and hid in the darkness, he still could not escape the attack of the mold.

A terrifying wave of purple-red mold came from all directions. Zhou Yuan activated the protective qi, and any mold that came within a meter of his body was crushed by the qi.

After a few minutes, he arrived at the wall of the Third Experimental Area.

Passing through the wall again, I felt a wave of purple-red mold sweeping over me due to the energy fluctuations of living things, along with many terrifying deformed creatures.

"It's endless."

Zhou Yuan practiced the True Dragon Breathing Method and pushed the protective energy to the maximum, boom boom boom!
He rushed forward amid the explosion, violently smashing everything in his way.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yuan saw a huge and luxurious mansion from afar. There was no trace of purple-red mold within a hundred or two hundred meters of the mansion, making it the only pure land in this deformed world.

And in an open space in front of the mansion, there were three figures standing.
