When the forest begins to whisper, is science salvation, or a shortcut to madness?
The Third Action Team of Bureau 749 ventures deep into the Ailao Mountains to find a missing scientific expedition. They think it is a routine investigation, unaware that a nightmare that will shatter everything they know is waiting for them. Mysterious fungi in the mountains, elusive legends of ancient tribes, and a strange forest rife with mutations... Everything points to some unknown presence deep in the Ailao Mountains.
In this living forest, death is not the most terrifying thing. Becoming part of it is. When teammates begin to develop strange blue marks, and their instruments display impossible readings, the Third Action Team must make a choice before their sanity collapses: flee with what little truth they have uncovered, or venture into the heart of the fungal colony and face a horrific truth that could make humanity rethink its place in the universe?
