Although there were hyphae and fungi everywhere, the ground was still relatively flat, and the density between the huge fungi was not high enough to hinder progress.

But today, they would occasionally encounter situations where their way was blocked by rows and groups of mushrooms. At this time, Xie Xuan or Xiao Yao had to go down and release black fog or set fire.

Although it doesn't have much killing power, it wastes a lot of time.

However, Xie Xuan saw that other teams on the map were probably facing the same situation, and their marching speed was much slower than yesterday.

However, there are no other teams on either side of Route 18 that they are taking now, so it doesn’t really matter how fast they move.

When the sun was about to rise overhead, Chongming finally woke up.

Their journey was actually quite boring. When nothing unexpected happened, all they could see outside the window were endless mycelium and fungi.

But no matter how boring they are, they don't expect anything unexpected to happen.

Xie Xuan cleaned up the mushrooms once more and got in the car. As the door closed and the car started moving again, Ding Qiaoyun asked, "Want to have lunch?"

It’s called lunch, but it’s actually just compressed biscuits and a small bag of dried meat.

Xie Xuan shook her head. Her current condition was actually similar to Chongming's. The vitality obtained from the fungus was her main source of energy for survival, and eating was dispensable.

She had eaten an A-grade fungus last night and was forced to eat so many "snacks" in the morning. Now she had no appetite for the tasteless compressed biscuits.

"Okay." Ding Qiaoyun is used to working in the logistics department of the Ecological Bureau, and is now also responsible for managing the various supplies on the vehicle.

Ding Qiaoyun took out water and food and distributed them to the other three people, and watched Xie Xuan and Chongming standing in front of the car looking at the map and sand table.

Today, there are a lot more black dots representing grade A and red dots representing grade B on the sand table than yesterday, and yellow dots representing grade D are everywhere.

Chongming and Xie Xuan looked at it for a while and suddenly found it a little strange.

"Are we moving too slowly?" Xie Xuan asked hesitantly.

Whether on the map or the sandbox, their positions hardly changed. Although their advance speed slowed down today, it was not as slow as this.

But the positions of other teams on the map also did not change, as if they had suddenly lost connection and were stuck.

"It's too slow." As soon as Chongming finished speaking, the hollow dots representing them on the sand table suddenly turned completely black.

Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment, "What does this mean?"

"What it means is that a Class A fungus suddenly appeared underneath us." Chongming finished speaking quickly, and the window next to him suddenly opened.

The others who were still eating looked over when they heard this and saw pure white mycelium rapidly growing in Chongming's palm, wrapping up the entire car within a few seconds.

The moment the light source was completely blocked, the lights inside the car came on. Before anyone could say anything, the entire car body suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?" Yang Jiayue couldn't help but shout.

"There are A-level fungi that suddenly rose from deep underground to attack us." Xie Xuan finished speaking and turned to look at Xiao Yao, "Prepare for battle."

Xie Xuan didn't need to tell him that Xiao Yao was also preparing weapons.

After the violent vibration lasted for a few seconds, Xie Xuan and the others felt that the entire car seemed to be lifted up by something. After a brief pause in the air, they began to fall rapidly again.

At this moment, Xie Xuan considered using control techniques to fly the RV for a distance, but she thought of the map that was stuck before, and it was very likely that they had unknowingly entered the territory of Class A fungi before this unknown thing sprang out of the ground.

After the RV fell rapidly, it suddenly began to fall slowly as if it was swallowed by something.

The six people in the RV were all staggering because of this accident. Song Zhixian leaned against the wall and coughed continuously, as if he wanted to cough out his lungs.

"What ate us?" Ding Qiaoyun asked.

"Most likely," Chongming said, "I can feel something outside dissolving my mycelium."

Xie Xuan frowned. "Is it very corrosive? How long can you last?"

"It's generally corrosive. It would take at least half an hour to dissolve a human," Chongming said. "If I don't consider what happens after I leave this domain, I can last twelve hours."

Xie Xuan didn't know whether Chongming meant that he would enter a short or permanent hibernation after going out, but they would all be infected within twelve hours.

The display screen in front of the car shows that the current spore concentration has risen to 50%.

"Is this what you call corrosive?" Xiao Yao couldn't help but complain, "But we can't just sit there and wait for death. We have to think of a solution."

They should have been directly swallowed by this A-level fungus, which means they have directly entered the core of the field. The problem now is how to find the fungus and get rid of it before they are dissolved.

Xie Xuan walked to Chongming's side. White mycelium was still extending from the palm of his hand to fill the corroded part.

She also stretched out her hand, and blue mycelium emerged from the palm of her hand, swimming out along the white mycelium.

"Why are you joining in the fun?" Chongming said, "Your mycelium isn't as strong as mine. It will dissolve if you touch it."

Xie Xuan said in disbelief, "Let me try."

Chongming wrapped Xie Xuan's mycelium with his own mycelium and sent it out. The four people standing behind them had different moods. Two seemingly normal humans were doing things that only fungi could do.

Xie Xuan also felt very strange. She had always thought that her mycelium had no senses, but when she touched another mycelium for the first time, she felt a subtle sense of familiarity and intimacy.

However, this feeling soon disappeared, because her mycelium, just as Chongming said, completely dissolved as soon as it touched the liquid outside.

Xie Xuan's mycelium returned to her body. She originally wanted to try to break out directly using the mycelium and the transparent cage, but now it seems that there is no need to think about it.

But if going alone is not feasible, she can actually bring the entire car with her.

The only problem with this plan is knowing where the bacteria are.

Xie Xuan turned to look at the sand table, but now the sand table has turned completely black and nothing can be seen.

Yang Jiayue noticed Xie Xuan's gaze and quickly explained, "There's no bug. This is what happens in the field. I can't sense the specific location of the fungus in the field."

Although it was a bit disappointing, it was also expected.

All possibilities were cut off and the situation was completely deadlocked.
