The female player's first instinct upon seeing Xu Huo was to curse him out, but she held back her words when she saw the Siming he was carrying in his hand.
Smiling ambiguously, Xu Huo watched her as she quickly tried to placate him with a smile, "Old Wu, please lend me a hand."
Zhuo Wangsun used a prop to remove the mycelium from her body, at least managing to get her to a clean area. Compared to the female player, Siming seemed more desperate. He said weakly, "Even if we escape, we're heavily poisoned, and by the time we reach the next station, we'll be dead anyway."
Zhuo Wangsun stayed to find a fungus that could counteract the infection, but the reason the female player and Siming didn't leave was that they hadn't cleared the game; without clearing it, there were no Return Tickets. Even if they used tickets to move on to the next instance, passing through the station could make them prey to others. Compared to being eaten alive, dying here seemed a better option.
