Wasteland Fungus Foraging Guide

Xie Xuan transmigrated to a wasteland world over a hundred years later.

Marine fungi, initially affected by nuclear-contaminated water, were brought back to land by a tsunami, and a spore inf...

Chapter 12: Unconventional Fields

Xie Xuan put the lid back on and moved on to the next plate.

What's inside are all noses, just like the eyes, like a complete human skin mask with the middle section cut out and thrown together.

And they seemed to be connected with the sense of the eyes just now, because after the eyes saw Xie Xuan start crying, these noses also started to run, and from time to time they made sounds of taking a deep breath.

Xie Xuan frowned, closed the lid and continued walking forward.

The rest of the plate was filled with various body parts: ears, hands, feet, and even a beating heart, but there was no mouth.

The domain is generally a reflection of the inner world of the parasite. Now, how twisted must the inner world of this parasite be to create such a horrifying domain?

Xie Xuan searched the middle dining table from beginning to end, but found nothing except many disassembled body parts.

Fifteen minutes later, Xie Xuan returned to the middle to gather.

Ling Wenqing and Zhou Yuanyuan also shook their heads and said, "We didn't find any special clues."

The silence lasted for a few seconds before being broken by Bai Ze's voice, "The current spore concentration detected is 40%, and the parasite is beginning to lose control."

Ling Wenqing made a decisive move and said, "We can't delay any longer. This domain is very strange. I suggest destroying this place directly, but this will most likely cause the domain to start attacking us."

Zhou Yuanyuan raised her hand in agreement. "If we don't break the deadlock quickly, we will be infected and die here."

Xie Xuan certainly had no objection, "Just throw a grenade?"

Ling Wenqing: "I'll come, you guys step back."

Ling Wenqing pulled off the pull ring and threw the grenade with standard movements into the dance floor where the most "people" were gathered. After a short two seconds, the grenade exploded, and the entire banquet hall was immediately filled with a heat wave and the unique aroma of roasted mushrooms.

The thick smoke had not yet dissipated, and amid the subtle sounds of burning mycelium, pairs of demonic eyes all looked at Xie Xuan and the others.

All the "people" who were doing their jobs in the banquet hall at the beginning stopped at this moment, facing Xie Xuan and the others, with strange smiles on their lips.

Zhou Yuanyuan got goosebumps all over her body. "Why do I have a bad feeling?"

Xie Xuan's expression was slightly tense, and he already had the sharpest dagger in his hand.

In the center of the explosion, the "person" who was roasted black was still standing upright, and the bright red mycelium on the whites of his eyes looked as bright as if they were about to drip blood.

But other than that, this space did not reveal any flaws.

Ling Wenqing's voice also became deeper, "Get ready, they are going to attack us."

Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes followed the countless "people" in front of her, and she slowly reached out to grab the machine gun on her back.

But the moment she touched the gun, all the "people" moved. Zhou Yuanyuan only saw a shadow before she was thrown to the ground.

Through the helmet, the corners of the "person" in front of him were exaggeratedly cracked to his ears, his eyes were wide open, and his blood-red eyeballs looked like they would fall out at any time.

It was strangling Zhou Yuanyuan's neck with all its might. Despite the tough protective suit blocking the way, Zhou Yuanyuan still felt like she was being strangled to the point of suffocation.

Zhou Yuanyuan quickly pulled out a pistol from his waist and shot it in the head.

With a "puff", a hole was pierced in its head, revealing the white mushroom-like contents inside. Under Zhou Yuanyuan's gaze, the thumb-sized wound quickly turned blood red like a cut hand.

Before Zhou Yuanyuan could breathe a sigh of relief, its blood-red eyes suddenly turned and met Zhou Yuanyuan's gaze again.

Zhou Yuanyuan felt a chill on her back and was about to shoot again when a cold light suddenly flashed in front of her. Then the head of the mushroom man who was looking directly at her began to slowly slide to the side.

"Are you okay?" Xie Xuan only had time to ask this question.

The overwhelming number of "people" around them are constantly rushing towards them.

At first, it was just a "person" playing a role in the banquet hall. Later, the blood-red fungus on the ground began to grow rapidly to a height of one person, and joined the battle like a red mannequin made with crude craftsmanship.

"The current detected spore concentration is 50%. The parasite is out of control."

Ling Wenqing is using a flamethrower to force back these mushroom people, but if they continue like this, they will sooner or later run out of ammunition and food and be forced into a desperate situation.

Zhou Yuanyuan, who was lying on the ground, quickly tore off the mycelium that had grown on her body. When she was about to stand up, she suddenly saw a vague human figure sticking to the ceiling behind the dazzling crystal chandelier on the nearly five-meter-high ceiling.

Zhou Yuanyuan was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted, "On the ceiling! The parasite is at the ceiling chandelier!"

Xie Xuan swung his knife back and harvested a group of mushroom people, and took advantage of this opportunity to raise his head.

Under the dazzling light of the crystal chandelier, the human figure hidden on the ceiling behind the chandelier almost merged with the thick mycelium around it.

Ling Wenqing's spirits lifted. "Well done! We'll cover you and kill the infected person!"

Xie Xuan lowered his head and gripped the dagger again, continuing to harvest the mushroom man who pounced on him again.

Zhou Yuanyuan immediately picked up the gun and took aim, firing five shots in a row, each of which hit the vital part of the blurry human figure on the ceiling.

After five consecutive gunshots, the mushroom man who was rushing towards them immediately froze.

Ling Wenqing and the others held their breath nervously, waiting for the mycelium to dry up.

The short two seconds of silence seemed as long as two hours.

Suddenly, the chandelier on the ceiling fell down with a loud bang, and the light that illuminated the entire area went out.

Ling Wenqing immediately turned on the light on his helmet, took a step back, and stood in front of Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan.

Xie Xuan and Zhou Yuanyuan immediately followed suit, but the darkness was exactly the same as when they entered the area. The bright white light could not penetrate the foggy darkness and could only vaguely illuminate the figures of their companions around them.

The passage of time became blurred in the darkness, but they waited for a long time but did not hear the loud noise that should have been made when the huge crystal chandelier fell to the ground.

Ling Wenqing swallowed hard.

He thought that he was unlucky enough to encounter a reproductive field that mutated into an offensive field last time, but he didn't expect to encounter such an unconventional field again when he went on a mission again.

Ling Wenqing's voice was dry, "Bai Ze, check the concentration and domain level."

"The current detected spore concentration is 45%, rating: D-class reproductive area."

It was expected that the field had not been resolved, but the spore concentration had decreased instead of increased?
