The world enters the fungal world

Li Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully observing the fluctuations of the surrounding lights through the darkness. Fortunately, these lights did not exhibit any unusual fluctuations.

Li Yu, fearing that some monster might be hiding among these giant mushrooms, carefully observed for a while to make sure there was no danger before slowly approaching the human corpse to see what was going on.

As they got closer, they soon realized that this human was somewhat different from them.

Li Yu initially thought this person had a similar experience to theirs, having been transported to this future Jiangcheng by that loud noise, but now that he saw it clearly, he realized something was amiss.

Because the person's face was covered by mushrooms, they couldn't see clearly, but the clothes he was wearing looked very strange.

The corpse was wearing a specially made leather armor on its upper body and similar leather knee pads on its lower body. Li Yu had only seen this kind of leather armor and knee pads in movies and TV shows; it was almost impossible for a normal person to wear such things in reality.

In addition, he noticed that the corpse was holding a weapon in its right hand.

This is an iron spear. In the darkness of night, the tip of the spear can be faintly seen gleaming with a cold light. Even without testing it, one knows that this spear is absolutely sharp.

Everyone looked on in astonishment. They were wearing leather armor, knee pads, and holding a specially made iron spear. In their minds, this should be the standard equipment of an ancient soldier. But how could the corpse of an ancient soldier be here?

Li Yu used the crowbar in his hand to lift the iron spear. Regardless of who the corpse was or what its origin was, this iron spear was a real weapon of death, and Li Yu took a liking to it at a glance.

Li Yu picked up the iron spear after confirming that the man was truly dead.

He had initially thought it was an iron spear, but when he held it in his hand, he found it to be lighter than he had imagined. The material resembled iron, yet it didn't seem to be iron.

Li Yu gently swung the iron spear, producing a faint whistling sound. The iron shaft of the spear even showed some resilience, and Li Yu realized that the material probably only looked like iron and was not actually the steel he was familiar with.

"Hey, look! There are mushrooms here!" Zhou Xigang suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Li Yu turned his head to look in the other direction and discovered that on the other side of these giant mushrooms, there was a patch of white jade mushrooms, which was the white jade mushroom they had been looking for.

There were at least one or two hundred of these white jade mushrooms, and everyone was delighted to see them.

However, the group did not immediately pick the fruit; their attention was focused on the corpse.

This corpse is really strange.

Li Yu tried out the spear and couldn't put it down.

Fang Mingxuan and Zou Dapeng carefully dragged the corpse out of the giant mushroom grove.

As the body was dragged out, everyone finally saw clearly that it was a young man who looked to be around twenty years old, with a buzz cut. Although he was dressed like an ancient soldier, judging from his hairstyle, appearance, and the clothes he was wearing underneath, he should be a modern person like them.

A huge wound appeared on his neck, almost severing his entire neck, which was clearly the cause of his death.

Everyone who saw this felt a chill run down their spines. The man was wearing leather armor and holding an iron spear, so he was probably no ordinary person. Yet he had died here. What had killed him?

"He also had a backpack and a dagger on him." Fang Mingxuan noticed that the corpse had a backpack on its back and a dagger at its waist. He immediately turned the corpse over and carefully removed the backpack from its back and the dagger from its waist.

The backpack looked like it was made of leather, but Fang Mingxuan couldn't tell what kind of leather it was made of.

Li Yu took the backpack, opened the top flap, and saw that it contained some small mushrooms he couldn't recognize, but most of them were flattened. He didn't look at them closely, closed the flap again, and said, "We can't stay here long. Pick these mushrooms and leave immediately."

The thought that the man's neck had been slashed open by a terrifying force made Li Yu feel uneasy. He didn't want to stay any longer. As for the contents of the backpack, he could take a closer look when he got back.

"Okay." Lin Muying and Fang Mingxuan nodded in succession, knowing that every minute they stayed outside was an extra minute of danger. They immediately split up and Lin Muying took Qian Lili and Zou Dapeng to pick white jade mushrooms.

Li Yu, Fang Mingxuan, and Zhou Xigang remained by the corpse, all three men sharing the same thought.

The leather armor and knee pads on the corpse were clearly rare items, so they couldn't be wasted. The three of them worked together and quickly peeled the leather armor and knee pads off the corpse.

"I wonder what material it is. It doesn't look like ordinary cowhide or pigskin." Zhou Xigang touched the leather armor, his face showing some excitement.

He then carefully searched the body's clothes and found several faintly gold-colored banknotes in the inner pocket. They were printed with the words "one yuan" and "five yuan," a type of currency they had never seen before.

"Gold note, this thing is called a gold note." Zhou Xigang quickly noticed the words "gold note" printed on the banknote. Looking at the other side of the gold note, there were nine cylinders printed on it, but he didn't know what they represented.

"Put them all away first, we'll talk about it when we get back." Li Yu told Zhou Xigang to put away the gold notes first. Seeing that Lin Muying and the others had already picked the mushrooms, he immediately made a gesture, signaling everyone to retreat.

Zhou Xigang wanted to strip the clothes off the corpse as well, but Fang Mingxuan stopped him.

For him, the dead should be respected. They had already taken so much from the body, and now they wanted to strip it naked, leaving the deceased with no dignity whatsoever. This was unacceptable to Fang Mingxuan; it was the moral bottom line he could uphold.

Seeing that Fang Mingxuan insisted on not touching the last clothes on the corpse, Zhou Xigang disagreed, but could only purse his lips and give up the idea.

The six people, carrying the mushrooms they had picked, along with the weapons, leather armor, knee pads, backpacks, and other items they had looted from the corpses, quickly left the area, diagonally passing under the overpass and heading towards the residential building where they had been before.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey was safe, and the group did not encounter any danger. They soon arrived at the familiar supermarket, passed through the alley next to the supermarket, and entered the residential building.

Returning to the familiar fourth floor, everyone went back to their original temporary residence. As for Zhou Xigang's house, although the door had been pried open and they could enter freely, Zhou Xigang did not want them to go in and disrupt the original furnishings.

Back in the living room, after closing the door, everyone breathed a long sigh of relief, their tense hearts finally relaxing. It was much safer here than outside.

Everyone put down what they were carrying, sat down on the ground, opened the covers containing the white jade mushrooms, and began to eat them.

After all the commotion tonight, everyone is feeling incredibly hungry.

After all six of them had eaten their fill, half of the mushrooms they had picked were gone. Now, Li Yu, Lin Muying, Qian Lili, and Zhou Xigang had all entered the spore stage and needed more and more nutrients. The group had picked so many mushrooms, but they had eaten half of them in one meal.

The remaining mushrooms were only enough for one more meal for everyone. Everyone frowned, realizing that a problem lay before them: food.
