Next, the four Kongsang people stood at the door again, waiting for several waves of exhausted incense pickers.
It can be said that there is no exception.
Everyone was in the same situation as the first wave of workers they encountered.
Of course, the condition of debarkation is different for each of them. Some symptoms are not serious, just slight symptoms on the skin, or even none at all.
However, people without symptoms are almost rare.
The situation of the vast majority of workers is relatively serious, and they no longer look like they are alone.
There was even one who was in the worst condition, half of his head was covered with these weird branches and leaves.

However, what is surprising is that even though he has been transformed into this situation, his ability to move does not seem to be affected.
Moreover, after being questioned by Kongsang and others, they also said that this change in their bodies did not bring them any discomfort.
…
After a while.
Qian Pianpian blew out a smoke ring and said quietly: "I just passed through everyone."
"Many of them are patients registered in the hospital, and a small number are medical workers."
"However, compared with the actual number of missing people, the number we saw is obviously insufficient."
Zhao Xiaocheng blew bubble gum and crossed his arms:
"And it's a little weird."
"Logically speaking, most of those who indulge in sweet dreams and do not want to wake up are terminally ill, and medicines have failed to work."

"They are full of despair about life. They look forward to their early relief every day, and they even no longer have the ability to move!"
"Or maybe it's because life is too stressful and they are mentally tortured. Such people don't have basic working abilities."
"But...if you don't talk about the weird symptoms of their bodies turning into tree bark, it can be said that their mobility has no impact and is comparable to healthy people."
Kong Sang nodded.
He also saw it during his observation just now.
The fatigue that everyone feels is caused by overwork at work.
The ailments they originally had seemed to have disappeared and had no impact on them at all.
This method of instantly making critically ill patients feel healthy...
Absolutely not normal!
Zhao Yuecheng, who had been silent, said: "The toxins in the four of us..."
"Could this be the reason why the workers' trees turned into bark?"
"What I mean is that they also have this kind of poison in their bodies, but they just don't know it."
Kong Sang thought about it and felt that the possibility was almost 100%.
If we say that from the moment they entered the factory, they were unknowingly poisoned by this inexplicable fragrance.
This toxin, without the relief of purification rituals, will begin to attack rapidly, turning people into bark-like monsters.
Therefore, in order to ensure that you can live a long time, you must complete your daily quota, get enough essential oils as a salary, and then redeem them for the purification ritual.
At the same time, the remaining essential oil can also meet the needs of three daily meals.
But... according to what these workers said, the workload is obviously extremely huge.
If you fail at work and your performance is deducted, the most likely option is not to distribute essential oils.
Without essential oils, the purification ritual would be impossible.
Bark will begin to grow on the body.
And this kind of fear, like chronic death, will make a person's work efficiency become worse and worse.
In this way, it is a vicious circle.
Gradually, let alone purification rituals, it was no longer possible to even ensure daily physical exertion.
In the end...it was judged by the factory as being incapable of working and abandoned!
The only issue that remains unclear is whether the abandoned workers are dead or...there are other ways to deal with them.
Thinking of this, Kong Sang looked at the sandalwood forest outside the dormitory building.
"Those workers said that we must survive tonight first."
"So, there should be some danger at night."
"How about we start investigating tonight?"
Kong Sang's suggestion was naturally approved by the three of them.
This is not the first day for everyone to deal with strange forces and chaos, so naturally they will not hide in the room and not come out.
…
Soon, after figuring out the layout of the entire dormitory building, the four of them returned to their dormitories.
At this time, the clock on the wall had already read half past six in the evening.
The sky gradually became dim, turning the clouds and mist in the sky into a blood-red color.
But the moon that was rising slowly was no longer bright, only a dark red light remained.
The man looked at the four Kong Sang people:
"You can only go hungry today."
"Besides, without essential oil, you can't even wash yourself today."
Tadu@ "Just don't go out, I'm going to lock the door."
With that said, the man wandered to the door.
"Crack!"
After the door was bolted, the chain was fastened.
In the end, the man still seemed a little worried and actually blocked an empty cabinet in front of the door.
This scene attracted the attention of the four Kongsang people.
"Could it be that...when the time comes, will there be anything in the dormitory building?" Kongsang asked.
The man didn't even raise his eyelids and silently returned to his bed.
Zhao Yuecheng was a little irritated by the other party's half-dead state. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the other party's collar, and said fiercely: "Hey, you are dead! Speak!"
Regarding Zhao Yuecheng's threat, the man didn't seem to have the slightest emotion.

There was neither anger nor fear.
This scene was also seen by Kong Sang.
Because comparing the workers I saw in the afternoon, it seemed that...the few people who didn't have bark on their bodies were very similar to the man in front of me in terms of emotional expression.
It's as if... there is no emotion!
Those who were seriously parasitized by tree bark also looked in a daze and did not realize it.
On the contrary, for those people who are more or less parasitic, but not much, their emotional changes are no different from ordinary people.
Kong Sang's eyebrows moved.
Could it be that... this toxin, when suppressed, will gradually turn people into emotionless creatures over time?
In the midst of doubt, the man pushed Zhao Yuecheng's hand away unsteadily:
"Everyone who has seen those monsters is dead, without exception."

"So, you ask me what a monster is, I don't know, and I don't want to know."
Zhao Yuecheng suddenly sneered: "Then what do you know?"
The man explained slowly:
"All I know is that once this kind of monster comes over, no one will be able to live in peace."
"So, in each of our rooms, when we go to bed every night, we will lock the windows and block the doors."
"Because there have been situations where monsters broke in before."
"So, this is what we do when we go to bed at night."
"Also, work will start at five o'clock tomorrow morning, so you should go to bed early."
After saying that, the man lay down and covered himself with the quilt silently.
When the four of them saw this, they stopped talking and just waited silently for nightfall.
Kong Sang stood at the window, lit the dipterocarp, and silently blew out a breath of green smoke.
Logically speaking, Kong Sang estimated that it only took half an hour from the gate to the dormitory building.
So, from a height of the 18th floor, you should be able to see the entire factory.
But now, no matter which angle Kong Sang looked at, the sandalwood forest seemed to be endless.
With the darkness outside, Kong Sang could only barely see the situation downstairs through the street lights embedded on the outside of the wall.
suddenly:
"Hiss..."
A very faint sound of electric current came to my ears.
Taking a closer look, the lights outside seemed to be flickering due to poor contact.
At the same time, it seemed like a black shadow entered the dormitory building with a "swish" sound.

Kong Sang immediately said: "Those things seem to be coming."
Zhao Xiaocheng summoned Bai Daxian, who understood the situation, took out a sharp thorn, and pierced the sleeping man's body.
"Okay, this way, no matter how noisy it is in a short period of time, he won't wake up." Bai Daxian explained.
Immediately:
"winter……"
"winter……"
"winter……"
The footsteps were slow, but... also very heavy.
The entire dormitory trembled slightly at the sound.
"Is there a big guy coming?" Kong Sang narrowed his eyes slightly, and a stream of yellow spring water suddenly formed under his feet.
The water seeped outside along the crack in the door.
Immediately, Kong Sang took out a charm and placed it at the position of his eyes.
As the cinnabar light flashed, Kong Sang's vision connected with the yellow spring water flowing outside.
In the slightly vague scene, Kong Sang couldn't help but frown.
Because...if you look around, there seems to be nothing around you.
It was as if the footsteps just now... were an auditory hallucination.
"How?" Qian Pianpian asked.
Kong Sang shook his head: "It seems that the only way is to go out and find out."
"Let's go, I'll take you out with yellow spring water. This way you don't have to open the door and can ensure the safety of this man."
Immediately, the three of them grabbed Kong Sang and jumped into the Yellow Spring with a "pop" sound.
Tadu@ In the blink of an eye, four people appeared in the corridor.
The heavy footsteps can still be heard in the corridor.
At the same time, a large pile of mold hyphae began to surround the entire corridor from all directions.
"Huh? Why didn't you see this change when you were in the room just now?"
In confusion, I saw that the wall had begun to corrode.
The mottled traces of rust and decay are somewhat similar to the appearance of the factory in Wang Jingyun’s memory!
"Look!"
Qian Pianpian suddenly pointed forward.
But at the end of the somewhat dim corridor, corrosive mycelium began to appear on the ground.
"Let's go downstairs first, don't get stuck here."
The original text comes from Yuta&Read Novel~&
With that said, Kong Sang took the lead and trotted to the elevator at the corner.
Almost the moment the four of them stepped into the corner, mold hyphae spread directly over.
A few seconds later, the entire corridor was covered with dense mycelium.
A strange rotten smell also began to permeate the surroundings.
Immediately following:
"Uh... uh..."
There was an inexplicable whimpering sound, as if a living person was being strangled by the throat and making a sound before death.
And this sound, and the heavy footsteps, began to get louder and louder, as if they were quickly approaching everyone.
"Has the stuff arrived?" Qian Pianpian asked in a deep voice.
Zhao Yuecheng held the mace knife and looked at the corridor that had turned into corrosive hyphae: "The movement... doesn't seem to be coming from here?"
Zhao Xiaocheng also said solemnly: "The Great Immortal's perception is also confused and cannot be captured specifically."
at this time:
"Ding Dong!"
The sound of the elevator door opening sounded.
As the elevator door slowly opened, Qian Pianpian planned to walk inside.
Kong Sang followed closely behind.
But just as he stepped one foot inside, he suddenly smelled a fragrance that was so strong that it was almost nauseating.
wrong!
Kong Sang grabbed Qian Pianpian and pulled him out directly!
It can be said that at the critical moment, densely packed dagger-like teeth sprouted from both sides of the elevator door!
Tadu@ "Bang!"
The elevator door, which is like a mouth, closes heavily!
Taking a closer look, the electronic light sign that originally showed the floor began to crack at this moment.
Then, a pair of copper bell-like eyes flickered, staring at Kong Sang and the four of them.
The bloody mouth that the elevator door turned into began to crack open at this moment. After chewing all the surrounding steel bars, a strange crescent smile appeared on its face.
