The world enters the fungal world

Suddenly, a serious expression appeared on his face. He gripped the giant axe in his right hand, slammed it slightly on the ground, and said in a deep voice, "Speak, who exactly are you? Where did you come from?"

Li Yu knew that Zhou Xigang was suspicious of the five of them and was thinking about how to answer when Zhou Xigang interrupted, "We are refugees, we came from over there. And you, where are you from?"

As he spoke, he pointed north.

The tall man looked up in the direction he was pointing, his expression changed slightly, and he suddenly asked, "You're from the North District?"

Zhou Xigang nodded. The area around the Century Garden Hotel belongs to the Xingao District, located in the north of Jiangcheng. Some people are used to calling Xingao District the North District. Zhou Xigang was not lying about this.

He sensed that the tall man didn't seem to have any major malice towards them, and perhaps he could learn some useful information from him.

"And you, where are you from?"

The tall man didn't respond to Zhou Xigang's question. Instead, he frowned as if he was thinking about something. Suddenly, his frown relaxed, and he smiled slightly, saying, "That's interesting. You said you're from the North District—"

He paused slightly before continuing, "My name is Bai Xiuluo. What are your names?"

As he spoke, his eyes swept over Li Yu and Fang Mingxuan, but his gaze lingered more on the three men's faces. He merely glanced at Lin Muying and Qian Lili, barely giving them a second look.

Zhou Xigang busied himself introducing the five of them: "My name is Zhou Xigang, this is Li Yu, this is Lin Muying, this is Qian Lili, and this is Fang Mingxuan."

"Come with me, I have a gift for you." Bai Xiuluo nodded to them, seemingly having memorized the names of all five of them, then turned and walked towards the man and woman he had just killed.

Li Yu and the other four didn't know what the gift he was talking about, but judging from Bai Xiuluo's current attitude, he shouldn't have any ill intentions, so they followed him.

Approaching the two corpses, Bai Xiuluo stopped, pointed to them on the ground, and said, "The supplies they had on them are yours, including the leather knee pads, these two weapons, and the backpack. Oh, and their clothes too. Your clothes have been infected by fungus, so change them as soon as possible, otherwise it will be easy for people to notice something is wrong."

Li Yu was slightly taken aback, not expecting that the gift Bai Xiuluo had mentioned would be this.

Zhou Xigang, quick-witted as ever, thanked him profusely, then couldn't help but ask curiously, "Brother Bai, these three people are much weaker than you, how dare they suddenly attack you and throw their lives away?"

To get closer to him, he even called him "elder brother." What intrigued him most was why the dead man and woman, who were much weaker than Bai Xiuluo, had suddenly attacked him and lost their lives. Even if they had a blood feud, they should have considered their own strength first.

He thought about it for a long time but still couldn't figure out why.

Bai Xiuluo didn't take Zhou Xigang's calling him "big brother" seriously. Instead, he glanced at his left arm and said calmly, "They saw that my left arm was injured and assumed that I was injured while killing these necromancy lizards. So they guessed that my strength was nothing special and that I was alone and outnumbered. Naturally, they wanted to kill me and steal my supplies."

This was also what puzzled Li Yu. Although the seven gloomy lizards were terrifying, with the strength that Bai Xiuluo had shown, he could easily crush these elite-level fungal beasts. So how could he be injured by them?

This also indirectly confirms that the two men and one woman were definitely not weak. At least in their eyes, the person who was injured while hunting seven necromancy lizards was considered weak. That's why they dared to attack Bai Xiuluo, but they didn't expect to kick a hornet's nest.

Zhou Xigang suddenly realized something and said, "I understand now, Brother Bai, you didn't get this injury while hunting these lizards?"

Bai Xiuluo nodded slightly and said, "So they misjudged and lost their lives."

He paused slightly before continuing, "There are still two weeks until the bacterial outbreak, and they're already rushing to seize supplies. They deserve to die."

He shook his head slightly as he spoke, revealing a dismissive expression.

Qian Lili couldn't help but ask, "What is a bacterial outbreak? What does 'half a month' mean?" A look of curiosity appeared on her face.

Bai Xiuluo glanced at her quickly, then his eyes fell on Li Yu, Zhou Xigang, and Fang Mingxuan, and he slowly said, "You don't even know about the bacterial plague?"

Since Qian Lili had already asked, no one could go back on their word and say they knew. They could only bite the bullet and shake their heads, indicating that they didn't know.

Fortunately, Bai Xiuluo didn't pursue the matter too much. Instead, he narrowed his eyes slightly, looked up at the sky, and murmured, "The fifteenth of every month, the night of the full moon, is when disaster strikes. On that day, if you can't hide in a shelter, you will die."

Hearing this, everyone was shocked.

"This is the bacterial plague." Bai Xiuluo lowered his head and looked at them again: "Today is May 1st, and there are still fourteen days until the bacterial plague arrives on the 15th."

Zhou Xigang felt a chill run down his spine, unsure whether Bai was exaggerating or if it was real. This "germ disaster" sounded too mystical. Why would a catastrophe strike on the night of the full moon on the 15th? He hurriedly asked, "Brother Bai, what is this disaster, and where is the shelter?"

Bai Xiuluo smiled faintly, but this time he did not answer his question. Instead, he changed the subject and said, "In short, you should be careful. You should not only be careful of the fungal beasts, but also of humans. If they find out that you are weak, they will kill you without hesitation. Not everyone is as easy to talk to as I am."

As he spoke, he pointed to the two corpses, a man and a woman, on the ground: "If I were weaker than them, I would be the one dead here now."

These words sent a chill down the spines of Li Yu and the other three. They recalled what they had witnessed earlier: the two men and one woman had discovered Bai Xiuluo, noticed that he was injured, and judged that his strength was inferior to theirs, so they immediately attacked without hesitation.

Looking back now, they are still a little scared. If these three had discovered the five of them, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Lin Muying frowned slightly and said, "They're all human, why would they kill their own kind? Shouldn't humanity unite against the mutated fungi?"

She found it hard to understand. It seemed that the world was full of fungal beasts, and the surviving humans should unite to fight against them. But according to Bai Xiuluo, the humans in this world would kill their own kind without hesitation.

Bai Xiuluo said calmly, "To seize resources, earning gold coins on your own is never as easy as robbing."

Li Yu immediately recalled the scene where Bai Xiuluo had searched the man and woman and found gold coins on them after killing them.

"Killing your own kind just to rob money?" Lin Muying's beautiful eyes widened, revealing an expression of disbelief.

Bai Xiuluo didn't look at her, but shook his head slightly and said, "There's no other way. It's all to avoid the fungal disaster. You can't enter Lingxu City without money."

"Lingxu City?" Upon hearing this name, all five of them lit up. Fang Mingxuan couldn't help but excitedly step forward and hurriedly asked, "Do you know where Lingxu City is?"
