The world enters the fungal world

Chapter 13 The Mutation of the Right Eye

"We all encountered this situation after hearing a loud bang. If something pierced through the hotel building, what about this supermarket?" Li Yu pondered. He had just carefully observed the surroundings. Although he hadn't found the ropes or other supplies he was looking for, he found that the supermarket's overall structure was intact and hadn't been damaged.

So why did a time portal appear in this supermarket, causing Zhou Xigang to travel here?

These are all mysteries that we cannot yet fathom.

Li Yu was having a headache from thinking so much that he couldn't help but rub his eyes. He suddenly realized that his right eye, which had been itchy in waves, was much better now, and the itching had lessened.

He rubbed his eyes and noticed that there seemed to be a lot of faint, blurry light spots floating in the air of the supermarket. However, these light spots were so dim and indistinct that they were hard to spot without careful observation.

Zhou Xigang held the fire axe in his hand and touched the vacuum-packed food, only to find that it all crumbled upon contact with his touch, clearly indicating that it had been stored for a long time and was completely inedible.

"It's a pity, this food and water are no longer edible. There's no point in staying here. Let's leave."

"Do you...see these points of light?" Li Yu suddenly spoke, pointing around.

To get a clearer view, he put away his phone and observed carefully. He discovered that the air around him was filled with tiny specks of light, almost imperceptible. These specks of light covered every corner of the supermarket, on the ground, on the surrounding goods, and even on everyone's bodies, heads, and faces, appearing and disappearing indistinctly.

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Lin Muying was taken aback and asked, "A spot of light? Where?"

Qian Lili, equally confused, asked, "What light spots?"

Li Yu said with some surprise, "You should all put your phones away."

Upon hearing his words, everyone turned off their phone flashlights and put them away, plunging the supermarket back into darkness.

In the darkness, Li Yu could see it more clearly. Everywhere around him was indeed hiding these extremely tiny specks of light. Because these specks of light were so small, even smaller than a speck of dust, and the light intensity was extremely dim, it was impossible to discover them without careful observation or in very dim light.

Even in this darkness, it's not difficult to spot if you look closely.

"None of you noticed?" Li Yu asked incredulously.

"What are you talking about? What light spot?" Zhou Xigang looked at Li Yu with a strange expression on his face.

Looking at the expressions on his and the two women's faces, Li Yu suddenly understood: they couldn't see.

He didn't explain further. Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he covered his right eye with his hand. As soon as he covered his right eye, the surroundings darkened, and all the faint lights disappeared.

He is blind in his left eye.

Then he covered his left eye, leaving only his right eye to observe.

This time, those tiny specks of light, as small as dust, became even more noticeable.

"I see..." Li Yu took a deep breath, realizing why Lin Muying and the other two couldn't see him.

In fact, he can't see with his left eye either; he can only see with his right eye.

"Li Yu, your right eye...is it...?"

Lin Muying was quite observant. She noticed that Li Yu was covering his right eye one moment and his left eye the next. Remembering that his right eye had just been injured and was itchy, she became a little worried that there might be something wrong with his right eye.

Li Yu shook his head, indicating that he was fine. With Zhou Xigang present, he didn't want to talk much about his right eye. After all, they had only just met Zhou Xigang, and people's hearts were unpredictable. He didn't completely trust this person yet.

"Let's go out first. Since we can't find the supplies we need here, we have to think of another way." Li Yu said as he picked up a fire crowbar and walked out of the supermarket.

[At this point, I hope readers will remember our domain name: 10 ...

Lin Muying frowned slightly and said, "If this is really Jiangcheng several decades in the future, and it's so severely affected by fungi, I'm afraid all the supplies will be unusable."

Li Yu said, "Yes, we still have some strength now, but it won't be long before we feel thirsty and exhausted. If we don't find food and water before we can't keep up, we'll be in big trouble."

As he said this, Li Yu felt an intense hunger. He didn't know why the hunger was so strong, but he could only endure it for the time being. Although the supermarket seemed to be full of food, it was all rotten and inedible.

Zhou Xigang followed Li Yu out of the supermarket and said, "Don't worry so much. There are mushrooms everywhere, and there must be some that are edible. The food problem won't be difficult to solve for the time being."

Qian Lili asked in surprise, "You dare to eat these mushrooms? Aren't you afraid they're poisonous? Aren't you afraid of being parasitized?"

She thought of the woman she had seen before who had been eaten alive by parasitic mushrooms, and she would never dare to eat these mushrooms again.

Zhou Xigang said, "As I just said, if you say that mushrooms can parasitize animals, then it must be a specific mushroom or under certain specific circumstances. Normally, it shouldn't be that easy to be parasitized. Otherwise, given that we've been here for so long, we would all be parasitized. As for poisonous mushrooms, there are definitely some. Most of those brightly colored mushrooms are poisonous, so it's best to avoid them. But besides those, there are definitely some edible mushrooms as well."

Qian Lili asked curiously, "Can you distinguish between poisonous and edible mushrooms?"

Zhou Xigang smiled somewhat awkwardly and said, "I only have the theory, but in fact... I don't know much about it."

Qian Lili scoffed, and Lin Muying said, "I do know quite a few edible fungi, but Jiangcheng has become so strange. These mushrooms are growing wildly and are everywhere. Even if I recognize some, no one can guarantee that these mushrooms haven't mutated and turned from non-poisonous to poisonous..."

Li Yu knew what Lin Muying was worried about. In fact, what Lin Muying was worried about was what he had been thinking about all along. He had already thought of what Zhou Xigang had said. Fungi are divided into many kinds, including many edible mushrooms. But the problem is that these experiences are based on the experiences from the normal world before. Are these experiences still applicable now? No one can be sure.

After all, in the previous world, there couldn't have been fungi that could eat a human body into an empty shell, nor mushrooms that could turn animals into monsters.

Zhou Xigang said, "If we're really worried, we can find a cat or dog to gather some edible mushrooms and feed them to them first. If we're sure it's okay, then we can eat them."

Qian Lili exclaimed with delight, "That's a good idea!"

Lin Muying said, "Where can we find cats and dogs now..." She remembered that she had encountered a black cat in the hotel before, but it was infected with a fungus and had gone mad, so Li Yu beat it to death.

Zhou Xigang scratched his head and said, "That's a problem. What suggestions do you have?"

Li Yu looked at Zhou Xigang and suddenly said, "I was thinking, if you were buying something at the supermarket, heard a loud bang, and ended up here, are there other people like you?"

Zhou Xigang was taken aback, but Lin Muying's eyes lit up, and she said, "Li Yu, do you mean it's possible that it wasn't just the four of us who encountered this?"
