Chapter 707 Giant Mushroom

At this time, Zhuang Mingxu's attention was also attracted by the silk cocoons floating in the liquid.

Compared to the others who have different shapes like inlaid in amber, Lu Weiyi seems a little different.

A vacuum egg-like shape formed around him, his body was wrapped in plants, and he curled up into a ball hugging himself, like a baby in its mother's womb.

Zhuang Mingxu felt as if he saw himself being sealed into an amber specimen.

"Hurry up and drag the man up," he shouted hoarsely.

The moment the egg cocoon came into contact with the air, the small green branches surrounding Lu Weiyi's body broke away first and peeled off from his body at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time, Lu Weiyi suddenly opened his eyes.

"Base Commander!"

"Base Commander here!"

Someone shouted at Lu Weiyi and threw a plant stem at him. Lu Weiyi reached out and grabbed it, then carefully stepped over the stepping stones made of ice and left the still flowing liquid.

"How is it? Are you feeling unwell?" Zhuang Mingxu hugged the man and checked him up and down. Seeing that his face was just a little pale, he turned around and asked Zhou He for some crystal cores and handed them to him.

"It's okay." Lu Weiyi absorbed the crystal core and looked around.

After Zhuang Mingxu told him the general situation, he handed over the remaining command to Zhong Ye, "We have found our people, and there are some advanced instruments left. See if you can salvage them."

"Understood." Zhong Ye took over the command and directed everyone to continue.

Zhuang Mingxu pulled Lu Weiyi aside and asked him what happened next.

"Nothing. After I went in, I soon found that the passage was shrinking. With the help of the little green branch, I trapped the person who was chasing me into the shrinking passage. I was hit by a bubble of liquid that suddenly fell, and I could only use my mental power to build a barrier to protect myself." But the energy below continued to be absorbed, and his barrier kept shrinking.

"Why don't you..." The reason why Zhuang Mingxu was not worried about him was because he had a space he could enter. Seeing that he didn't enter in the end, he frowned and hinted.

"I'm afraid that after I go in, the place will merge and I won't be able to get out," Lu Weiyi said. Seeing that Zhuang Mingxu looked unhappy, he immediately added, "However, it's also timed. If there is no change after an hour, we will decide to go in."

"It's not even an hour yet." Lu Weiyi shook the watch on his hand and looked at Zhuang Mingxu in a half-coquettish manner.

Having survived with great difficulty, how could Zhuang Mingxu blame him at this time? Especially since Lu Weiyi lowered his head so naturally, he could only tap his forehead and say, "Don't do this next time. I will always find a way to save you."

Seeing that the person looked unhappy due to excessive consumption of supernatural powers, Zhuang Mingxu directly requisitioned all the remaining crystal cores in the team and said, "You go and rest for a while and absorb some crystal cores. I will go to interrogate Qi Le."

"Okay." Lu Weiyi had indeed consumed a lot of energy and was not polite at this time.

As soon as the two turned around, there was a buzzing vibration from the ground beneath their feet, as if some huge monster was rising from the ground.

Lu Weiyi's face changed instantly. He pulled Zhuang Mingxu and ran away, shouting, "Get out of here."

The people of Yueban Bay were quick to act. Without asking any questions, they quickly took the people around them and ran away.

Zhao Gang and his group had stronger superpowers and were faster. The rest of the people didn't react at first, and when they turned around to leave, they were already unable to leave.

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha……"

"Are you happy to die together?"

Qi Le's crazy voice clearly showed that he knew something. He laughed loudly with his face up, which was out of place among the people around him who were desperately trying to escape. He struggled out of Xiao Meng's control and wanted to go back. The wounds on his legs were torn again and blood was gushing out.

But he seemed to feel nothing and crawled hard with a crazy smile on his face that seemed to want to destroy everything.

"ah--"

A shrill female voice sounded, causing Qi Le's expression to stiffen for a moment. He was like an old man with stiff joints. After a while, he turned around slowly and saw a woman who was barely wrapped in a body-covering garment, with a dagger stabbed into the intersection of her ankle and hoof.

The owner of the dagger stared at him coldly, turning the dagger in his hand slowly. The sharp dagger flashed with cold light and drilled into her skin. The woman twitched all over in pain.

Zhuang Mingxu raised his eyebrows at him, as if silently saying, continue.

Most of the places originally covered with gray-white soil have been lifted away by them, and only a thin layer is left on the pit that is forty or fifty meters deep. However, the originally hard stratum was broken into pieces by the huge force, and it seemed that there was something underneath that was pushing them up continuously.

Some of those who had not escaped accidentally fell into the crack. The screams of fear suddenly stopped, and the sudden silence made people even more frightened.

Qi Le looked around and saw that all the people in Yueban Bay had evacuated far away. The remaining ones were basically all residents of the Mountain God Base, and even more were the families of those with special abilities.

At first, Qi Le wanted to set up a base and live a stable life. He took these residents seriously, but after seeing the darkness of human nature, how could he trust people again?

He just wanted to leave himself some guarantee, some way out, but he didn't expect that this little thing would become his death warrant.

He looked at Fang Tang and his group who were trying their best to stop a few minor superpowers from coming forward to rescue people. As his most proud masterpiece, Qi Le thought about how to rely on them and how to give them some benefits to make up for the suffering of his family, but...

There is no chance for anything.

Another woman's scream was heard, followed by her stifled sobs as she said, "Leave me alone."

There is no turning back, that is the foreseeable future.

Qi Le told himself this in his heart, but when he heard the woman's suppressed cry, he finally pounded the ground and gave up struggling.

Xiao Meng, who was standing nearby and watching this scene, regained control of the man at Zhuang Mingxu's signal. He slowly wiped the dagger in his hand and asked the man who was carried over like a dead dog, "Can you tell me what this is now?"

Without Qi Le's explanation, Zhuang Mingxu had already recognized this thing - this was the mushroom he had seen in the cave when he rescued Sun Cheng before.

The difference is that the giant mushroom this time is even bigger than that one, covering the sky and blocking out the sun.

Lifting the last hard layer on the top of the head, the mushroom's cap was as huge as a ghost. It slowly stretched out its handle and finally stopped and swayed dozens of meters above the ground.

The mushroom cap handle, which is as tall as a building, is like two pillars reaching the sky. Mycelium hangs down from the cap like the tentacles of a jellyfish. The difference is that compared with the holy mushroom body, the mycelium is bright red, as if soaked in blood.

The distance around was too far to see below, but Lu Weiyi could see clearly with his mental power. The bottom of the pit that they had drained the liquid from was now full of corpses, both animal and human. Some had melted into sticky liquid, while those that had just fallen in were still intact, struggling, and trapped in it.

Without bothering to ask Qi Le whether this thing was artificially bred or naturally grown, the giant mushroom swayed its mycelium, and tiny pink particles flew around.

"Be careful!" Lu Weiyi pulled Zhuang Mingxu and swung the small green branch in his hand quickly, dragging all his comrades standing along the pit over while setting up a mental barrier.

The speed was so fast that the group of psychics didn't have time to attack before the person appeared beside him.

"What's wrong?"

"occur……"

Before the questioning voice died down, the eyes of some psychics nearby gradually changed. They staggered as if drunk and staggered towards the pit. As if they could not see the danger, they raised their feet and fell into the deep pit.

"This is the abyss mushroom, a new type of creature discovered after the end of the world. They have very low requirements for the living environment and can reproduce in many places."

Qi Le's voice suddenly rang out, attracting the people standing around to look at him.

"Three years after the apocalypse, it was discovered in a mass grave. At the time, it was already S-level. They discovered many wonderful uses for it. After killing the main plant, they took away the seedlings for research..."

Qi Le paused for a moment, as if something happened afterwards that he didn’t want to mention, “Later, things got out of control.”

"How do we deal with this thing now? Can we burn it?" Zhou He didn't care about what happened in the past. He had seen that the psychics behind him had also been affected. They walked in groups towards the direction of the mushrooms as if they were summoned.

If it continues like this, I'm afraid it will drag down everyone around it, and it will truly become a mass grave.

And they...

Zhou He saw Lu Weiyi's face, which had just gotten better, turn pale again - his supernatural power had been consumed too much and he couldn't hold on for long.

"able".

As soon as Qi Le's voice fell, the fire-type mutants led by Zhou He immediately waved countless fire dragons into the air. After the dense barriers burned all the spores in the field of vision, the largest clusters flew towards the largest mushroom.

"Don't burn!" Qi Le shouted. When the flame controlled by Zhou He was about to touch the mushroom, he quickly turned it to the other side. He also deprived the control of the few flames that he didn't have time to turn.

But just like that, most of the supernatural powers in his body that could not be replenished were consumed.

"Mushrooms cannot be burned," Qi Le said seriously, "The surface of this large mushroom will be covered with a layer of symbiotic insects. The mucus produced by these insects is the main raw material of the underground passage. Once burned, it will evaporate into an intoxicating effect, making people quickly comatose."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want to kill us?" Zhou He's face changed instantly when he thought of something that was useful even to dead people.

However, Zhuang Mingxu looked at Lu Weiyi with a strange expression - after all, he knew that all the mushrooms he had encountered before had been burned by Lu Weiyi.
