The world enters the fungal world

Zhou Xigang, Lin Muying, and the other two were surprised by the itching of their wounds and wondered if they were infected. They were feeling uneasy when they suddenly noticed that Li Yu had started eating mushrooms again. The three of them were speechless.

"Li Yu, why are you again..." Lin Muying was only halfway through her sentence when Li Yu, without turning his head, said while eating mushrooms, "Do you guys want to have some too? These mushrooms taste good, they'll be good for you."

He had noticed it long ago; these white jade mushrooms were not uncommon here. Many had grown on the abandoned car, and a dense patch of them had grown on the collapsed giant bridge pier next to the car.

The three of them immediately shook their heads. They were joking, asking them to eat these mushrooms raw? Even if the mushrooms tasted amazing, they couldn't get past that mental hurdle unless they were crazy.

Although Li Yu showed no signs of poisoning, suggesting the mushrooms were safe, the three still hesitated to try them.

Li Yu didn't force the three of them, but said while eating, "Don't be nervous. I injured my right eye before, and the wound was itchy too, but it's healed now."

Hearing Li Yu say this, Lin Muying remembered this matter and immediately looked at Li Yu's right cheek. Suddenly, she let out a soft exclamation, walked up to Li Yu, and looked at his face carefully, as if she had discovered a new continent.

"What's wrong?" Li Yu looked up at her.

Lin Muying asked in surprise, "The wound on your face...it's gone?"

Li Yu was stunned. He reached out and touched his right cheek. He remembered that the black cat had scratched his right cheek, leaving a wound that was seven or eight centimeters long. Even if it healed, it would probably leave an unsightly scar. What did Lin Muying mean when she said the wound was gone?

Li Yu reached out and touched it, finding that his right cheek was very smooth and he couldn't feel the previous wound.

"You mean the wound on my face is gone?" Li Yu asked.

Lin Muying nodded and said, "It's not that it's healed, it's that it's completely disappeared, as if it was never injured at all. How... how is that possible?"

Li Yu didn't say anything more, but stood up and walked towards the restroom. He quickly found a mirror on the sink, which was covered in mold and dust.

Li Yu turned on the faucet, knowing that there was probably no water coming out, but he still tried. To his surprise, the faucet handle broke with just a light touch. With a harder pull, the entire faucet shattered like powder. Sure enough, no water came out.

He could only wipe away the dust with his hands to reveal a mirror-like surface, through which he could see his own face.

His face in the mirror had completely returned to its normal appearance. There was no trace of the previous injury, let alone the seven or eight-centimeter wound, not even a trace of it.

"Incredible..." Li Yu stared at his face in the mirror, his gaze unconsciously falling on his right eye. He understood that all of this was thanks to his right eye, or rather, the effect of the tiny specks of light filling the air.

These tiny specks of light not only help stop bleeding and heal wounds, but also leave no scars, allowing their skin and flesh to heal perfectly as before.

"Li Yu, has something changed about you?" Lin Muying stood outside the bathroom, watching Li Yu look in the mirror. Putting aside the fact that under normal circumstances, it was impossible for the wound on Li Yu's face to heal in just half a day without leaving any trace, it was simply impossible. The only explanation was that Li Yu's body had undergone some kind of change.

She thought of the animals that were parasitized.

Li Yu turned his head to look at her, then looked at Zhou Xigang in the living room and Qian Lili lying on the broken sofa.

"That's right, it's not just me who has changed, you've all changed too." Li Yu's words startled the three people outside.

Li Yu ignored their reactions and walked straight to the mushrooms placed to the side, saying, "The air here is filled with something we can't see with the naked eye. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's fungus, maybe it's a virus, or maybe it's something we can't understand."

"Whenever we get injured, this stuff will attach to our wound and enter our body. The most obvious reaction is that the wound will itch when it's healing. I was the first to get injured, do you remember when my right eye and wound were itchy?"

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, both Li Yu and Qian Lili's expressions changed. Of course, they remembered that Li Yu had been saying that her right eye was unbearably itchy and was constantly tearing up. Now, their injured right arms and chests were also experiencing unbearable itching.

Zhou Xigang wasn't afraid at all; instead, he asked curiously, "You mean this thing can help stop bleeding and heal wounds, and that the wounds can recover completely quickly without leaving scars?"

He listened to Li Yu and Lin Muying talking and understood that Li Yu's right cheek had been injured before, but now there was not a trace left on her face.

Li Yu nodded and said, "That's right. I don't know if this should be considered parasitism or mutation, but in any case, barring any unforeseen circumstances, the places where you were just injured will heal quickly and won't leave scars."

Zhou Xigang's eyes gleamed as he muttered, "Damn it, I knew it. Since God chose to let me transmigrate, it must be to make me the protagonist here. This isn't some kind of parasitism or mutation; it must be evolution. We've embarked on the path of evolution."

Just thinking about how quickly their injuries heal without leaving scars is enough to make them practically immortal—something many people dream of. Zhou Xigang became more and more excited as he thought about it.

Qian Lili said, "So, the fact that the wound is itchy now is actually a good thing?"

Her injuries were quite severe, and she had thought that even if they healed, they would leave large, unsightly scars on her chest. However, she was quite excited to learn that these wounds would not only heal quickly but also leave no scars.

Li Yu shook his head and said, "What I just said was just some of my guesses. I don't know what will happen next. I have no idea whether we will become parasitic monsters like those lizards or like the women in the hotel who were eaten to the bone."

Upon hearing Li Yu's words, Lin Muying and Qian Lili felt as if they had been doused with a bucket of cold water. The thought of the woman who had been eaten to the point of being an empty shell sent chills down their spines.

"What woman who's been eaten to the point of being an empty shell?" Zhou Xigang didn't know and was somewhat confused.

Qian Lili explained to him the woman they had found in the hotel whose body had been eaten away by mushrooms, leaving only an empty shell. Upon hearing this, Zhou Xigang's expression changed, and he immediately lost his previous excitement and agitation.

Then he murmured, "No, we're all chosen ones, we won't be eaten alive."

Li Yu ignored them and ate a few more mushrooms. Feeling full, he yawned, clearly exhausted.

From the time the incident at the wedding banquet to now, only a few hours have passed, but it feels like an eternity to him. In this terrifying world full of mushrooms, every second is torture.

Seeing Li Yu's exhausted appearance, Lin Muying couldn't help but say, "Li Yu, why don't you rest first? I'll stay here and keep watch."

It was already late at night, and everyone was exhausted from all the commotion. However, Lin Muying didn't dare let everyone sleep, so she suggested that Li Yu go to sleep first while she stayed behind. As for Zhou Xigang, she didn't fully trust him yet.
