Reincarnation space, but the style is wrong

Chapter 25 Expansion, Intelligence

Under the puzzled gaze of the crowd, Chen Xingzhi slowly spoke:
"I have read a book called 'Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio' and learned some of its contents. But the book does not have a coherent plot. Instead, it is made up of many fragmented stories, and some of the stories even take place at different times and eras."

At this point, things are clear.

"It seems that the world has to figure it out on its own again," Bush Gomen sighed, "Boss Gray Tide, what should we do now?"

Chen Xingzhi observed the surrounding energy and assigned tasks in an orderly manner: "First, we need a base, which I will take care of. Secondly, we need intelligence. There are two people waiting about 500 meters to the east. They look like bandits. Mo Yudie, bring them to see me."

Mo Yudie did not refuse his order, but was curious about how he found out.

"Boss, what should I do then?" Seeing that Mo Yudie had a mission, Bush also wanted to show himself and demonstrate his value.

"You, Bush, there are two first-level monsters in the northwest. Go and take care of them. It would be best if you can capture them alive for me."

"Okay, I promise to complete the task." Bush saluted him with an unknown gesture, stomped his feet heavily, and disappeared in front of everyone.

After the two left, Chen Xingzhi was not idle either. He began to plant seeds of corruption in the same place.

Corrupt fungi began to grow in this world.

On the surface, a thick carpet of decaying fungi continues to expand and spread, breaking down any organic matter it can capture and turning it into biomass.

Underground, there are also a large number of corrupt fungi, which are eroding and digging the underground soil and rocks bit by bit, together building a huge underground maze.

Because the appearance of the corrupt bacteria was too horrifying, the newcomers were all trembling with fear. Even Li Changyan, who had received rigorous training, looked unhappy.

But fortunately, these bacteria did not pay attention to them, but bypassed where they were and surrounded them.

The spread and infection speed of the strange fungus was very alarming. When Mo Yudie brought back two unconscious natives of this world, they saw that the place where they landed had turned into a corrupted land.

Weird fungi, pipes scattered all around with green biomass flowing, and cocoons rising from the ground that contain unknown things, together make up this corrupted land.

And those newcomers were standing pitifully on the last piece of uninfected ground, at a loss as to what to do.

Even as a second-level reincarnationist, she had never seen such a terrifying sight.

"Are you back?" A familiar voice came from underground through layers of fungi.

"Take those two men underground. I have something to ask them."

As soon as he finished speaking, the bacteria on the ground began to wriggle, and finally formed a passage that led directly underground.

After a moment's pause, Mo Yudie realized that this was the work of Chen Xingzhi.

She really didn't expect that this was the base the other party mentioned.

"I have seen many of the top ten reincarnations in the arena, so why does Gray Tide seem so... different?"

She was somewhat confused, and always felt that there was a deeper malice coming from underground. She was not sure whether she should go down and find out what was going on.

As if he was getting tired of waiting, Chen Xingzhi's voice came from underground again:

"Forget it, if you don't come down, just throw those two down."

This time, Mo Yudie did not hesitate. She picked up one person in each hand and threw them down.

At the same time, in the underground space formed by the erosion of bacteria, Chen Xingzhi was holding sugar in one hand and fiddling with the huge living facility with the other.

This is the temporary laboratory he built, which will be used to give the newcomers a surprise later.

Two muffled sounds were heard, and he walked over, picked up the two unlucky guys who fell on the thick fungal blanket, and threw them into two transformation chambers respectively.

Tentacles made of strange fungi connected the two people's brains to the fungus community and extracted their memories.

"The Ming Dynasty, Lanruo Temple in Guobei County?"

Seeing these two familiar names, Chen Xingzhi began to become suspicious.

Could it be that the plot of this world is different from the original?

It’s no wonder he thought so. After all, there is no mention of Guobei County or Lanruo Temple in the “Nie Xiaoqian” chapter of “Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio”.

The original book mentions "Lanruo", a word that means temple.

"Lanruo Temple is nearby. If that's the case, then I have to be careful of the tree demon grandma in Lanruo Temple."

"The tree demon grandma might be a second-level demon, and the ghosts under her command should be first-level."

"By the way, there is also Yan Chixia. I don't know which version of him exists in this world." It would be interesting if it was the swordsman in the original novel.

After thoroughly reading through the memories of the two indigenous people, Chen Xingzhi kindly performed a full-body restoration on them and also studied the structure of the human body in this world.

While conducting research, he conveniently implanted corrupt bacteria into the two of them and transformed them, assimilating them into part of the corrupt cluster.

The fungus began to grow, and to his surprise, some kind of strange blood stored in it seemed to have undergone an unknown mutation in these two people.

Their skin began to turn pale, their bodies were stretched, and they grew pairs of limbs. White shells emerged from their bodies and covered them.

Eventually, they turned from humans into insects.

Looking at the two hideous human-faced insects in the transformation chamber, Chen Xingzhi was confused.

"How could similar mutations occur at the same time? Is it possible for me to encounter such a small probability event? Wait, could it be the effect of 'God's grace'?"

He looked at the sugar in his arms and asked, "Sandang, was it your 'divine grace' that worked just now?"

"Mi~"

Sugar waved its two little hands and made meaningless sounds.

Although I don’t know what Sucrose wants to express, it’s a good thing to pick up a new soldier template for free.

Chen Xingzhi was in a good mood. He ordered the two human-faced worms to crawl out of the warehouse and started testing them.

At this moment, Bush Gomen, along with two monsters, a python and a tiger, walked down the passage he had left behind.

"Boss, your basement is quite unique. Let me guess, what are these two?"

He threw the two almost dying monsters to the ground and pointed at the two human-faced insects that were being tested with a look of disgust on his face.

"These two, these two are the unlucky guys that Mo Yudie brought back just now. I accidentally transformed them into my own troops."

Accidentally? By chance?

Bush really wanted to ask him if all the reincarnations who engaged in biological transformation were so perverted, but he felt that it was impolite, so he had to swallow the words.

"Well, Boss, I caught the monster you wanted. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

This underground space constructed by decaying fungi was so depressing that he even had the illusion that the walls around him were whispering to him.

Bush really couldn't stand it anymore, so he left the monster behind and fled back to the ground.

"Am I that scary?" Chen Xingzhi was puzzled as he looked at Bush's receding figure.

"Meow." Sugar shook her little head and denied it.

The surrounding bacterial flora emitted waves of consciousness, also expressing denial.

Bush, who was walking in the corridor, couldn't help but quicken his pace. He felt that the whispers in the walls around him were becoming clearer and clearer.

After returning to the ground, the noises disappeared and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's really not a place for people to stay down there."

Bush had just sighed when he saw a few newcomers walking towards him.

Li Changyan, who had already gained leadership among the newcomers, spoke first: "Brother Bush, we want to be reformed. May I ask if Boss Gray Tide is here?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the deep passage from which Bush had just emerged.

"Have you finally decided?" Bush looked at them with admiration. "Just go all the way down this passage."

"But you have to be prepared, it's not a good place down there."

He kindly gave the newcomers a reminder, and then left leisurely amid their puzzled gazes.

"Brother Li, do we still need to go down? It seems quite dangerous down there." The newcomer named Lin Qinghe asked hesitantly.

Li Changyan thought deeply for a while, and finally made up his mind: "Let's go. The Gray Tide boss is watching us down there. It shouldn't be that dangerous no matter how dangerous it is."

Under his leadership, a group of newcomers set out on this road that seemed to lead to the abyss with trepidation.
