The world enters the fungal world

Li Yu was thrilled to run into them here.

Soon, the two sides met between the two residential buildings. Fang Mingxuan pursed his lips, unable to hide the excitement on his face, while Wu Limei exclaimed excitedly, "Li Yu, Lili, what are you doing here?"

Li Yu noticed that Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and Wu Limei were all holding a branch about the thickness of a baby's wrist, with mushrooms the size of a fingernail growing on it. Seeing the bloodstains on the branches, a thought struck him.

"Limei—" Qian Lili rushed up and suddenly hugged Wu Limei tightly, appearing very excited.

Although Lin Muying didn't react as dramatically as Qian Lili, her expression was still full of excitement.

Only Zhou Xigang, watching from the side, could tell that they were acquaintances meeting and that's why they were so excited. He didn't recognize Fang Mingxuan and the other two, so naturally he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

"Tell me quickly, what happened? How did you get here?" Li Yu quickly calmed down from his agitation.

Fang Mingxuan's lips moved, about to speak, when Wu Limei interrupted, "Li Yu, how dare you ask us? Isn't it because you drank too much? Fang Mingxuan and Xiaoyue came to our table to toast you and found you were missing. We told them you went to the restroom. Lili and Lin Muying went out to look for you, but you didn't come back for a long time. Fang Mingxuan was worried you were drunk and something bad happened, so he went to look for you. Zou Dapeng and I were also going to the restroom, so we went out together."

"As soon as we stepped out of the banquet hall, we heard a deafening crash. My ears were ringing. When we came to our senses and reopened the banquet hall doors, we found that the floor had completely collapsed, forming a deep crater, and there was a huge hole above the hall..."

Wu Limei paused here, reached out and tucked a strand of long hair behind her ear, her face turning somewhat pale, as if she were recalling the horrific scene from that time.

Fang Mingxuan, standing beside her, had his lips tightly pressed together and his whole body trembled slightly.

His parents, relatives, and his wife Wang Xiaoyue, who was more than three months pregnant, were all in the banquet hall. Now, a sudden change has occurred, the floor of the hall has collapsed, forming a deep pit, and two or three hundred people have all disappeared.

The blow he suffered was unimaginable. Now, when Wu Limei recounts the situation at that time, he can hardly contain his trembling.

Zou Dapeng sighed and continued, "Mingxuan almost went crazy at the time. He was about to jump into that deep pit. I managed to pull him back and quickly told him to call the police for help, but the call couldn't be connected and there was no cell phone signal."

Wu Limei brushed her hair behind her ear again and said, "Then we thought about asking the hotel for help, but everyone around us disappeared. It seemed like there were only the three of us left in the whole hotel. It was really strange."

Li Yu could imagine how Fang Mingxuan must have felt at that moment. Not knowing how to comfort him, she could only reach out and pat his shoulder.

Fang Mingxuan pressed down on the hand that was on his shoulder and nodded slightly at him, as if to tell Li Yu that he was fine and there was no need to worry.

They are the best of brothers; a simple gesture is enough for them to know each other's feelings.

Wu Limei continued, "We all felt that something was wrong with the hotel. Zou Dapeng and I pulled Fang Mingxuan aside and told him that since there was no one in the hotel and we couldn't get through on the phone, we should go out and find help. Fortunately, there was a security team not far from the hotel, so Fang Mingxuan followed us out of the hotel."

She had just finished speaking when Zhou Xigang couldn't help but interrupt, "Let's go back first, and you can talk about it later. There's always a risk if we stay outside now."

He was eager to get back to eat mushrooms so he could enter the "spore stage" of the bone fungus as soon as possible and awaken his power. He had no interest in what Fang Mingxuan and the others had gone through.

With three more people suddenly added, there aren't enough white jade mushrooms to go around. He's afraid the mushrooms they've picked will only last them a day, which is giving him a headache.

Li Yu nodded. Zhou Xigang's words made some sense. Staying outside was too risky; it would be safer to return to the residential building.

"Then let's go back first." Li Yu pointed to the residential building on the left and said, "Let's go up to the fourth floor first, it's safer there, and we can talk about it later."

Zou Dapeng nodded and said, "Okay, it seems you've also encountered animals infested with fungi?"

"Yes." Li Yu replied as she walked towards the entrance of Unit 2 of the residential building. "Looks like you've run into them too."

Seeing that they were holding tree branches as weapons, stained with blood, and their clothes were tattered, clearly indicating that they had been attacked by wild animals, they realized that, like themselves, their journey to this point had not been easy, and they had probably been attacked by parasitic monsters many times.

As the group approached the residential building, before even entering the second unit, they heard a hissing sound behind them. Li Yu turned around and saw several dark green lizards rushing out of the alley leading to the supermarket.

The dark green lizard, whose head had mutated into the shape of a mushroom after being parasitized by a mushroom, has reappeared.

Upon seeing the dark green lizard again, everyone calmed down considerably. However, Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and Wu Limei, who had just encountered it, changed color and showed expressions of shock. Clearly, this was the first time they had ever seen such a terrifying lizard.

Li Yu immediately put down his jacket, which was full of mushrooms, gripped the fire crowbar in his right hand, turned around, and stood in front of everyone to face the charging dark green lizard. He said in a deep voice, "Everyone, be careful."

He entered the spore stage, and his entire body was enhanced by the pupil fungus. His speed, strength, reaction ability, and even his sensory abilities were all improved. At this moment, he was not afraid of these dark green lizards rushing towards him. Instead, he had an impulse to test his current strength with them.

He stepped forward to meet the first dark green lizard that charged at him, and in an instant, he swung the crowbar in his hand.

With a dull thud, the charging dark green lizard was suddenly pinned down by a tremendous force, its upper body sinking downwards, its claws gripping the ground and immediately sinking into the mushrooms covering the ground.

A large amount of blood splattered out, and everyone could clearly see that Li Yu's stick had accurately struck the head of the charging dark green lizard. The mushroom-shaped head instantly exploded, with flesh and blood mixed with a large amount of fungal hyphae breaking and exploding in all directions, creating a very bloody scene.

With a single strike, the first dark green lizard that charged forward was instantly killed. Li Yu's spirits lifted. Sure enough, as his strength increased, the dark green lizard no longer posed a threat to him.

He didn't need to activate his "Superhuman Capture" special ability at all; his current strength, speed, and the crowbar in his hand were enough to kill the dark green lizard.

After easily killing the first dark green lizard, two more dark green lizards pounced from the left and right, opening their blood-red mouths and hissing as they flicked out their crimson tongues.

Li Yu took a step back, and Fang Mingxuan suddenly gripped the thick tree branch in his hands, using it as a stick, and struck the dark green lizard on the left.

Lin Muying followed closely behind, rushing towards the dark green lizard on the right.

Among the crowd, they were closest to Li Yu and, fearing for his safety, rushed forward without hesitation.
