The world enters the fungal world

Qian Lili asked curiously, "Where did you find these branches?"

You can find all kinds of mushrooms here, but finding a twig is not easy.

Wu Limei said, "These are not tree branches, but small trees. We found them near the security team. These trees are only a little over a meter tall and less than a wrist thick. They only have trunks and no branches or leaves. Many small mushrooms grow on the tops. We have never seen such strange trees before, so we picked three of them to use as weapons."

Li Yu then realized that the branches the three of them had taken were actually three small trees.

"Besides these strange trees, there was another big tree, about five or six meters tall, covered with green vines. Small mushrooms also grew on these vines. The strangest thing was that there was a huge mushroom growing at the top of the tree. We didn't know what kind of tree it was. Just as we were wondering, a monkey suddenly jumped out of the tree. Its back was covered with tiny mushrooms, which was terrifying to look at. We were all startled."

Wu Limei paused here, brushed her hair behind her ear, and continued, "Luckily, we had this tree as a weapon, otherwise it would have been dangerous. After we killed the monkey, we didn't dare to stay there anymore, so we came to this neighborhood."

"We just wanted to try our luck here and see if there were any other people, but we never expected to actually run into you here."

Li Yu understood by this point that Wu Limei and Fang Mingxuan had entered this future Jiangcheng much later than they had.

Wu Limei said, "This is our situation. What about you? What's your situation?"

Qian Lili loved talking about these things, and immediately began to tell Fang Mingxuan and the other two in detail how the three of them heard a loud bang in the bathroom, then discovered that the banquet hall had collapsed, and then killed the black cat and the parasitic monkey.

Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and Wu Limei listened intently, never imagining that the three of them had experienced something far more exciting, dangerous, and terrifying than their own. They also learned who Zhou Xigang was and why they had come together.

After Qian Lili finished speaking, Zou Dapeng touched his neck, took a long breath, and said, "If we really traveled to Jiangcheng in the future, you should have arrived here at least a day or two earlier than us. This timeline doesn't match up. This is too strange."

He shook his head slightly as he spoke, unable to understand the reason, but the facts were undeniable, and he had no choice but to believe it.

Li Yu gestured to Lin Muying, who understood his meaning. She brought him some white jade mushrooms, carefully feeding him one mushroom at a time, afraid that his movements might affect the healing of his ribs.

After lying down for a while, Li Yu began to feel hungry. His pupil fungus had entered the spore stage and needed more nutrition and energy, especially since he had just fought and was injured.

As the mushroom was eaten, a faint heat began to flow through my body, some of which concentrated in my chest. It seems that healing this injury also requires a lot of energy.

"These mushrooms are edible and can help the growth of fungi in our bodies," Qian Lili explained immediately when she saw Fang Mingxuan and the other two staring at Li Yu eating the mushrooms.

Zhou Xigang also picked up a white jade mushroom and started eating it, hoping to enter the spore stage as soon as possible.

Zou Dapeng thought for a moment and said, "According to what you've said, the hotel is the key. If we can find the meteorite that smashed through the hotel building, we might be able to find a way back."

"Yes, if everyone enters the spore stage sooner, we can go back to the hotel to take a look," Li Yu replied while eating mushrooms.

Based on today's performance, if a few more of them were in the spore stage, breaking into the hotel shouldn't be difficult.

Even if the hotel has a group of parasitic monkeys, it's nothing to fear. Of course, it's possible that those parasitic monkeys might mutate and become stronger, but we still have to give it a try.

He couldn't say for sure about Fang Mingxuan, Zou Dapeng, and Wu Limei, but Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang, with the nutrients provided by mushrooms, would definitely enter the spore stage within half a day at most. The problem now was that he had broken his ribs and didn't know when they would fully heal.

Fang Mingxuan and the other two had been feeling hungry for a while, but they had kept quiet. After hearing Qian Lili's introduction and learning about the effects of the white jade mushrooms, they could no longer resist.

Fang Mingxuan picked up a white jade mushroom, took a bite, and found it wasn't bad. He quickly finished the mushroom.

Seeing Fang Mingxuan eat the mushroom, Zou Dapeng and Wu Limei each took one and started eating.

Zhou Xi glanced at them and thought to himself that the four of them had picked the mushrooms, but the other three were just eating them. He felt a little uncomfortable. There seemed to be a lot of mushrooms, but if all seven of them ate them, it would probably only be enough for one day. If they were all eaten, it would be troublesome.

The white jade mushrooms that grew on the collapsed bridge pier in front of the supermarket have all been picked clean by them, and no other white jade mushrooms have been found elsewhere yet.

However, Fang Mingxuan and his group were classmates with Li Yu and the others, and they had a good relationship. Although Zhou Xigang felt a little uncomfortable, he couldn't say anything. He could only lower his head and eat his mushrooms, hoping to improve his strength as soon as possible and then think of another way.

After feeding Li Yu until she was full, Lin Muying picked up a mushroom and started eating it herself.

After finishing his meal, Li Yu closed his eyes and silently sensed the state of his body.

Thankfully, the pain in my chest has subsided, replaced by a warm sensation. I can even clearly feel my body healing and the broken ribs growing back. This feeling is so wonderful that it's hard to describe in words.

The remaining six people had all eaten their fill. Half of the mushrooms they had picked had been eaten, and the remaining half was only enough for the seven of them to have one more meal.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to look for mushrooms again soon," Zhou Xigang sighed, burping.

Fang Mingxuan glanced at him, and Lin Muying said, "There are mushrooms everywhere here, and these white jade mushrooms shouldn't be uncommon."

Zhou Xigang smiled and said, "I hope so." Then he closed his eyes and began to feel the condition inside his body, hoping to communicate with the bone bacteria in his body.

After everyone else had finished eating, they all rested, and the living room became quiet.

Only Fang Mingxuan seemed restless, his lips tightly pursed, and his face frequently showing signs of annoyance and impatience.

He thought of Wang Xiaoyue, who was more than three months pregnant, and then of his parents. They were in the banquet hall when the accident happened. He wished he could go back to the hotel immediately and go into the pit to see what was going on.

He had hoped to find rescue, but now he realized that this was Jiangcheng decades or even a century later. The city had long been abandoned, and they didn't even know if there were any other survivors. All they could rely on now was themselves.

Now, all they can do is stay here. According to Li Yu, they have to wait until the fungus in their bodies enters the spore stage before they can go to the hotel.
