The world enters the fungal world

These words startled Fang Mingxuan, who slowly stopped crying, wiped the tears from his eyes with his sleeve, and looked at the photo in his hand with his red eyes.

Li Yu chimed in, "That's right. Even if we don't have a chance to return to our original world, and even if we really can't go back, maybe only a dozen years have passed here, but we still have a way to find Xiaoyue and the others."

Lin Muying continued, "Yes, Mingxuan, we'll all search with you. We'll definitely find Xiaoyue and the child."

Qian Lili nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, Xiaoyue and the others will be so happy then."

"Thank you." Fang Mingxuan calmed down a bit, nodded slightly to everyone, and then carefully put the photos he was holding away from his body.

Lin Muying took out a cleaning kit from her backpack, pulled out a cleaning cloth, and handed it to Fang Mingxuan.

Fang Mingxuan took the cleaning wipe, carefully wiped away the remaining tears on his face, and then took a deep breath.

"I'm fine now, I'm sorry to have worried you."

He looked at the children's room again with some lingering affection before leaving.

"Li Yu, tell me, if Xiaoyue is really still alive, where is she now? How can I find her and the child?" Fang Mingxuan gradually calmed down and spoke.

He trusted Li Yu the most, so his first reaction was to ask Li Yu.

Li Yu's face showed a thoughtful expression. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Based on the clues we have obtained so far, there are good and bad aspects. On the one hand, although there was an accident at the hotel and two or three hundred people disappeared, we originally thought that these people had fallen into a deep pit and their fate was uncertain, but now it seems that this is not the case."

Fang Mingxuan pursed his lips and nodded slightly. He had also thought of this. These photos proved that Wang Xiaoyue was still alive and well after the accident at the hotel, and had even given birth to their child.

Li Yu slowly said, "I have some guesses, let's all analyze them now."

"On the evening of April 26th, we attended Mingxuan and Xiaoyue's wedding banquet. It was suspected that a meteorite fell from the sky and crashed through the hotel, causing a spacetime distortion. I, Muying, Qian Lili, Mingxuan, and you were all taken to Jiangcheng in the future by the meteorite. The vast majority of the remaining people did not travel through time and are still living in their original world."

"As for Xiaoyue and the other two or three hundred people who attended the wedding banquet, there are two possibilities. One is that the meteorite hit the hotel and caused a disaster, and most of the people died in accidents, while Xiaoyue was a survivor of this disaster."

"Another possibility is that they were unaffected. To them, it might be as if we had suddenly and mysteriously disappeared."

Zou Dapeng couldn't help but touch his neck and said, "Li Yu, the second possibility doesn't exist. If, as you said, the hundreds of people who attended the wedding banquet were not affected, then how do you explain the situation in the banquet hall? There was a huge hole in the ceiling and a deep pit below. If a meteorite really fell from the sky and hit the hotel, it's impossible that the hundreds of people in the banquet hall at the time were unaffected. I think the most reasonable explanation is the first one: Wang Xiaoyue was just lucky to be a survivor of this disaster."

Li Yu nodded slightly and hummed in agreement. He also felt that the first possibility was the most likely, but there was still a phenomenon that was difficult to understand.

That is, a hole about three meters in diameter was punched through the top of the banquet hall on the third floor, while the area below the banquet hall completely collapsed, which is very unusual.

Lin Muying frowned slightly and said, "We'll find out the reason once we find Xiaoyue. The important thing now is how to find Xiaoyue and the child."

Fang Mingxuan pursed his lips tightly, nodded repeatedly, and then said with reddened eyes, "Yes, the problem is, where are we going to find Xiaoyue? Is Xiaoyue still in Jiangcheng?"

Li Yu said, "Since Xiaoyue is still alive, she is a native of this world to us. Do you remember the address recorded in that booklet? Lingxu City. Perhaps Lingxu City is a new city built by natives like Xiaoyue, and it is even possible that Xiaoyue and the others live in Lingxu City now."

Zhou Xigang, who was leaning to the side, felt a tickle in his nostrils when he heard this. He picked his nose and said, "This guess makes a lot of sense. So what's important for us now is to find a way to find this Lingxu City. Since it's called a city, there must be a lot of natives living inside. Once we find them, the rest will be much easier."

Upon hearing this, Fang Mingxuan's eyes gleamed slightly. At least now he had a goal, and he knew what to do next.

Qian Lili murmured, "But where exactly is this Lingxu City?"

Li Yu looked towards the living room balcony, and suddenly, something struck him, so he went outside.

He thought that this was the sixteenth floor, a high vantage point overlooking the city, where he might make some discoveries.

He went out onto the balcony and looked outside.

The sky outside was still gray and hazy; although the sun was out, it always seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog.

From his vantage point, Li Yu looked down upon the distant, swirling fog of this abandoned city, where some kind of undercurrent seemed to be surging.

In the distance, faint roars and howls of beasts could be heard from time to time, indicating that this river city was far from peaceful, but rather fraught with danger.

Dilapidated high-rise buildings stood side by side, mixed with swathes of giant mushrooms. Li Yu saw tall trees and mushroom groves in the distance. The further he looked, the denser the mushroom groves became. Streets, alleys, and residential areas were almost entirely covered by mushrooms.

Suddenly, Li Yu's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked towards a distant spot where he could vaguely sense light, as if some source of light was hidden among the mushrooms and buildings.

It's just that it's too far away, and it's daytime now, so the light source isn't very bright, and it's hard to see clearly.

Lin Muying and Fang Mingxuan also walked to his side and looked into the distance.

"Muying, do you see a light source over there?" Li Yu pointed to a spot in the distance.

Reminded by Li Yu, Lin Muying observed carefully, a hint of doubt appearing on her face. She said, "It seems so, but... I can't be sure."

Li Yu stretched out one hand to cover his left eye, and carefully observed the distance with only his right eye.

With his left eye covered, the "pupil fungus's" perspective in his right eye became clear. Even though it was daytime, he was able to capture the ubiquitous points of light. He saw points of light converging in the distance, forming a huge vortex of light.

The core of that vortex was the suspected source of light that he had just inadvertently spotted.

"As expected... there really is something there." Li Yu murmured softly, lowering his hand with a thoughtful expression. "There's a light source... could that be Lingxu City?"

Upon hearing his words, Fang Mingxuan hurriedly asked, "Li Yu, you're saying that's Lingxu City?"

Li Yu pointed into the distance:

"There seems to be a light source there. It's not very noticeable during the day. Along the way, although we've occasionally encountered some luminous mushrooms, their light has been extremely dim, barely visible at night. Now, we can see it from this distance, and it's daytime, so the light source must be quite bright, unlike what a mushroom could emit."

Fang Mingxuan became excited and said, "Since it's not something mushrooms can emit, then it's likely a man-made light source!"
