The world enters the fungal world

Qian Lili said, "I dreamed about it too, but the name was different from yours. It was called 'Exploding Bacteria'."

Li Yu nodded slightly, seemingly lost in thought. It seemed that although they had all obtained fungal seeds due to their injuries, the names of these fungal seeds that parasitized their bodies were different. He wondered if this was because the fungal seeds they obtained were different, or because the parts of their bodies that were parasitized were different, or for some other reason.

"By the way, where's Mu Ying? Mu Ying, what's yours?" Qian Lili turned her head excitedly, thinking of Lin Mu Ying.

Lin Muying had gone to bed late last night because she was on duty, and woke up later than the others, but she was also startled awake. Hearing Qian Lili's words, she yawned softly, her delicate eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said, "Guangjun."

As he spoke, he slightly raised his right arm and continued, "However, I still couldn't sense that special ability, nor do I know how to control it."

Li Yu said, "The fungal seeds in your bodies are currently in a dormant state, so you cannot actively control their abilities. Once your seeds germinate and enter the spore stage, you will be able to actively control their abilities."

Having learned from last night's experience, Li Yu didn't hide anything and immediately told them the information he had obtained. He was now certain that he was in the second stage, the "spore stage," while Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang were still in the first stage, the "dormant stage."

Based on his experience over the past day, as long as Lin Muying and the other two eat enough white jade mushrooms, it should be possible for the fungal seeds in their bodies to germinate and enter the second stage of the fungus, the "spore stage," within half a day to a day.

After hearing Li Yu's explanation, all three showed expressions of surprise. Qian Lili, both surprised and delighted, exclaimed, "So, we'll all soon be able to enter the spore stage and actively gain abilities?"

Li Yu nodded and said, "Yes, once you all enter the spore stage, we should be able to return to the hotel and go in to see what's going on."

Zhou Xigang said excitedly, "It's a pity we don't have enough mushrooms. It seems we need to pick more. If we eat enough mushrooms, we should be able to break through today."

He was very much looking forward to seeing what kind of special abilities his bone fungus would gain if he entered the "spore stage" that Li Yu had mentioned.

"It's getting light now, shall we set off?" Zhou Xi looked out onto the balcony and saw that it was completely bright outside. He had just finished eating and was thinking of going out to pick some more mushrooms.

Li Yu nodded in agreement. He was now in the spore stage, and his demand for white jade mushrooms had doubled. He had originally planned to wait until dawn so that the four of them could go out and pick more mushrooms.

Reaching out to pick up the fire extinguisher crowbar lying to the side, Li Yu examined its surface closely and suddenly noticed that faint mold spots were also appearing on the crowbar.

Clearly, these ubiquitous fungal seeds are slowly eroding all matter, not just the clothes they wear, but also the steel crowbars. In the entire city of Jiangcheng, apart from the concrete buildings that are still barely holding on, most things have been eroded and corrupted.

The four opened the slightly ajar door and went out one after another. Li Yu was still in the lead. He had awakened to the spore stage, and his strength, confidence, and courage were all increasing.

The hallway remained deathly silent, with a persistent, pungent smell of mold lingering in the air.

The four men cautiously descended the stairs to the first floor. Yesterday, they had killed five parasitic monkeys here, leaving the ground covered in blood. However, after just one night, the bloodstains were almost invisible, covered by a furry substance.

Qian Lili pointed curiously to the thin layer of fuzzy substance on the ground and asked, "What is this?"

Lin Muying pondered for a moment and said, "These should be mushroom seeds. There are mushrooms all around, so the air must be full of mushroom seeds. Although we can't see them, we can imagine it."

Qian Lili gave an "oh" and didn't say anything more.

Soon the four of them passed through the alley and arrived back in front of the supermarket, where they began picking the remaining white jade mushrooms.

Although many of these white jade mushrooms grew on the collapsed bridge pier next to the abandoned car, half of them were picked yesterday, and only half remain today.

After they finished eating all the white jade mushrooms, they had no choice but to leave and go find new ones.

Just like yesterday, Li Yu and Zhou Xigang laid their two jackets flat on the ground and then piled the white jade mushrooms they had picked on top of them.

While picking the herbs, Li Yu constantly observed his surroundings to prevent any potential danger.

After picking and packing all the white jade mushrooms, the four returned. Just as they entered the alley, Li Yu, who was in the lead, suddenly stopped, a strange look on his face.

Three figures appeared in the distance between two residential buildings facing the alleyway.

Li Yu, with his sharp eyes, quickly recognized the three people. His face lit up with excitement, and he suddenly strode forward.

Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang were taken aback. Seeing Li Yu suddenly running wildly in a somewhat out-of-control manner, they were surprised, but still followed.

"What's wrong..." Lin Muying had just asked this question when she suddenly saw three people appearing in the distance.

Her face showed a mixture of surprise, joy, and disbelief.

"Fang Mingxuan?" Qian Lili finally saw him and couldn't help but scream, her face full of excitement.

Who would have thought they would see Fang Mingxuan here?

Judging by the time, they should have attended Fang Mingxuan and Wang Xiaoyue's wedding banquet the night before last, but an unexpected accident led them into this world full of mushrooms. No one expected that they would see Fang Mingxuan here.

As Qian Lili screamed, Fang Mingxuan, who was in the distance, finally noticed them. Immediately, the three people in the distance also started running and rushed towards them.

Li Yu was very excited. Not only did he see Fang Mingxuan, but he also saw a man and a woman next to Fang Mingxuan, both of whom were his college classmates.

The boy's name was Zou Dapeng. He was tall, over 1.8 meters. Although he wasn't handsome and was even a bit rugged, he was tall and strong. Plus, he was good at basketball, so he was very popular with girls at school. Several girls pursued him.

However, Zou Dapeng did not accept these girls. Instead, he started dating a girlfriend who was two years older than him and worked in an entertainment venue.

Li Yu still remembers hearing people say in private that his girlfriend gave most of her monthly earnings to Zou Dapeng.

This once aroused the envy of many people, and of course, some people privately called Zou Dapeng "soft rice Peng".

The girl next to him was named Wu Limei. She wasn't particularly pretty, but she had a good temperament and was a well-known talented woman in the university at the time. Li Yu remembered that Wu Limei's calligraphy was excellent, and she often live-streamed her calligraphy practice online, gaining many fans.

Li Yu's biggest impression of her was that Wu Limei had several relationships in college, each of which lasted less than six months before ending in a breakup.

She had a particularly good relationship with Qian Lili, and of course, she also had a good relationship with herself.

Li Yu remembered that just two days ago when they met, he jokingly asked her who her boyfriend was now. She rolled her eyes and said that she was single now and didn't have a boyfriend, and asked Li Yu if he wanted to pursue her.
