The world enters the fungal world

Before Li Yu and Lin Muying could respond to these words, Qian Lili stepped forward and excitedly exclaimed, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

In this terrifying and bizarre world, Qian Lili was overjoyed to finally discover a living person other than the three of them.

"Why did the power suddenly go out? The ground is so slippery, I almost fell!" Following this voice were footsteps, clearly someone was groping their way outside.

As Qian Lili was about to go inside, Li Yu stretched out his arm to block her, preventing her from rushing in. Then he took a step back, signaling the two women to also take a step back and make way.

Qian Lili was taken aback, and Lin Muying also pulled her back.

The situation is unusual now. A person has suddenly appeared in this dark supermarket, and no one knows what's going on. It's always better for Li Yu to be cautious.

The three of them had just taken a step back when a person appeared in the dark supermarket ahead of them.

The man groped his way out from between the two sets of containers, carefully avoiding the goods scattered on the ground, and then he saw Li Yu and the other two.

At the same moment, Li Yu also saw him emerge from the shadows of the supermarket shelves.

This was a young-looking man, probably around twenty years old. His face showed some confusion, astonishment, and bewilderment. He had clearly taken a bad fall, and was now walking with a limp, occasionally rubbing his right elbow.

Li Yu squinted slightly, carefully examining him, mainly looking for any parasitic mushrooms on his body.

Fortunately, everything looks normal from the front, and there are no signs of fungal parasitism such as mushrooms or mycelium. Now we just don't know what's going on with his back.

He thought of the parasitic monkey he had seen before, which crawled out of the deep pit. From the front it looked like an ordinary monkey, but its back was covered with dense clusters of small mushrooms.

Through the twisted and shattered glass door, the young man saw Li Yu and the other two standing outside. He saw the ground covered in mushrooms all around them, and the skyscrapers further away that were being eroded by mushrooms. The confusion on his face turned into shock, and finally into an unbelievable horror.

He blinked repeatedly, rubbed his eyes frantically, and then looked carefully outside. Clearly, he thought he was seeing things.

"Impossible, how could this be?"

He suddenly yelled and rushed out, then stopped at the supermarket entrance, looking around in horror. Then he turned to look at the supermarket behind him, and only then did he notice that the goods scattered all over the supermarket floor were covered with various small mushrooms, and there were huge patches of mold everywhere.

"Who...who are you? What...what's going on? Am I dreaming?"

He stammered, his eyes wide like copper bells, before finally thinking to ask Li Yu and the other two questions. Looking at them, his face was filled with extreme shock.

Seeing his reaction, Li Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, this person in front of him should be a normal person like them. Judging from his behavior, he must have just discovered the dramatic changes in the city, and there were no mushrooms or mycelium on his body.

"My name is Li Yu." Li Yu, looking at the excited young man before him, remained calm, first stating his name before asking, "What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Zhou Xigang..." The young man answered Li Yu's question while constantly looking around, in a state of extreme shock.

"Can anyone tell me what's going on? Where is this?" Zhou Xi gasped for breath, the shock on his face fading slightly, replaced by fear and unease.

Li Yu asked, "Can you tell me where you were just now? What happened?"

"Just now?" Zhou Xi was asked by Li Yu. He thought for a moment before saying, "I just came into this supermarket to buy something, and suddenly I heard a loud bang. Then all the lights in the supermarket went out. I didn't know what happened. I was about to go out when I slipped on something and fell. Then I heard your voices outside. When I came out, I saw you... How did this supermarket suddenly become like this? And, and what is this...?"

As he spoke, he looked up and pointed at the mushrooms that had appeared all around him. Looking at the once brightly lit and bustling Jiangcheng, which had suddenly turned into ruins covered by mushrooms, he was momentarily stunned.

Li Yu listened carefully to Zhou Xigang's words, and a thought struck him as he realized that Zhou Xigang and they had experienced something in common: they had heard a loud rumbling sound.

Everything changed starting with that loud noise.

"It seems that it wasn't just the three of us who time-traveled in Jiangcheng. Zhou Xigang also time-traveled after hearing a loud bang. However, we didn't hear the bang at the same time. How can that be explained?" Li Yu pondered.

Lin Muying said, "Zhou Xigang, we heard a loud bang just like you, and then this is what happened around us. We were just attending a classmate's wedding at the Century Garden Hotel not far away."

As she spoke, she pointed towards the Century Garden Hotel in the distance.

Zhou Xigang was taken aback and said, "Century Garden?" He knew about this hotel; it was a five-star hotel and very famous in Jiangcheng.

"You said you were attending a wedding when you heard a loud noise and this happened? But how did you end up here?" Zhou Xigang clearly didn't believe Lin Muying's story. After all, the Century Garden Hotel was quite a distance away. He felt that there must be something wrong with these three people, and this thought made him take a step back.

Lin Muying guessed his thoughts, but didn't care. She continued, "What I'm about to say may be hard for you to accept or understand, but that doesn't matter, because you'll soon realize that everything I'm saying is true."

"The loud noise you heard is probably the cause of all these changes. That loud noise may have opened some kind of spacetime tunnel, and we just happened to pass through this tunnel and entered Jiangcheng in another parallel world. Of course, it is also possible that we came to Jiangcheng in the future, which was abandoned and invaded by mushrooms. And this Jiangcheng is what we see now."

To Lin Muying's surprise, Zhou Xigang breathed a sigh of relief after hearing her explanation. Instead of questioning her, he asked, "You mean we've traveled through time? To another Jiangcheng in a parallel universe, or perhaps to Jiangcheng in the future?"

Clearly, he is no stranger to the idea of ​​time travel or parallel universes.

"I'm glad you understand. That's roughly how it is." Lin Muying waved her hand and said, "Of course, all of this is just our guess, but we can't think of any other more reasonable explanation besides this possibility."

Zhou Xigang murmured, "Time travel? What about the system? Hasn't my system appeared yet?"

Lin Muying frowned and said, "System? What are you talking about?"
