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 31 She is Crazy

This is a very clean blue.

Xie Xuan quickly realized that she was dreaming. The entire space was covered in the same blue color, but this blue was different from the lighter blue of the sky and the darker blue of the ocean. It was neither bright nor dull.

Xie Xuan's experience told her that this place should be dangerous, but her intuition told her that it was not dangerous, and she even felt a little familiar.

After Xie Xuan realized what she was thinking, she felt a little complicated.

It seemed like she had only been working at the Ecological Bureau for a few days, but she went crazy so quickly.

As if sensing Xie Xuan's thoughts, a patch of blue fungi slowly grew out of the clean blue.

I don’t know if it’s because these mushrooms grew in Xie Xuan’s dream, but Xie Xuan actually thought they were pretty and handsome.

The blue caps slowly open like a small umbrella, and they grow on the ground in an orderly manner, as if there is some kind of pattern.

Xie Xuan took a step back and looked carefully at the mushroom growing in front of her. She found that the mushroom had grown into a smiley face pattern.

Xie Xuan: …

She must be crazy.

The next morning, after Xie Xuan woke up, she was in a daze for a while. Suddenly, she thought that the little blue mushroom in her dream might be the mushroom that was coexisting with her now.

So...actually, last night it was this fungus that wanted to show friendliness to her, its symbiont?

Xie Xuan doubted whether a fungus could have such a high IQ.

However, Xie Xuan soon stopped caring about this problem. Today was the day she returned to work at the Ecological Bureau after her vacation, and it was also the first day she and Xiao Yao teamed up for a mission.

As Xie Xuan almost stepped into the door of the Ecological Bureau, a message popped up on her terminal.

"An infection has occurred at the B19 stop on the 749th Light Rail Line in Subdistrict 273. Preliminary rating: C-level reproductive area. Team 7: Captain Xiao Yao, team member Xie Xuan, and Team 51: Captain Ji Chenghong, team members Li Fei and Zhang Xiaoqian are currently handling the matter."

"You have been assigned a task. Please proceed to the entrance of Precinct 45 within five minutes. The shuttle bus number serving you this time is 430."

Xie Xuan raised her head and saw Ding Qiaoyun standing behind the front desk, waving at her and even mouthing "Bon voyage".

This shuttle bus was bigger than the previous two, but it was still pure white in appearance. Xie Xuan originally thought she would be the first to arrive, but when she found shuttle bus No. 430, there were already people on the bus.

It’s Xiao Yao.

He had already put on his protective suit, with his helmet resting on his lap. Seeing Xie Xuan, he smiled and waved, saying, "It's been a few days since I last saw you. How are you? Have you fully recovered?"

"Not bad." After Xie Xuan sat down, she couldn't help but ask, "How did you get here so quickly?"

"I just got back. It's a D-level field. It didn't take long."

Xie Xuan was puzzled. "Doesn't the Ecological Bureau stipulate that you must take a vacation after completing a mission?"

"This rule exists because, no matter what realm it is, it will more or less cause mental infection to those who enter it. The severity of the mental infection depends on the level difference between the psychic and the realm. Generally speaking, if the level difference is two levels, the impact of the mental infection can be basically ignored."

This long paragraph actually has only one meaning: because he is an A-level mutant, he can ignore this rule.

But Xie Xuan only had one thought after hearing this: "You are so hardworking."

To use the description used more than a hundred years ago, Xiao Yao is simply a master of internal circulation.

Xiao Yao didn't seem to expect Xie Xuan's focus to be here. He smiled and said, "It's not about being diligent, but about wanting to do my best to protect humanity."

Xie Xuan didn't expect Xiao Yao to answer like this. After all, judging from the text presented in the archives and Ding Qiaoyun's hints, Xiao Yao didn't seem like such a selfless person.

But Xie Xuan didn't say much, and politely replied, "I admire you."

Just at this time, Team 51, who were teaming up with them, also arrived.

Captain Ji Chenghong is a thin man in his thirties. Li Fei looks to be about the same age as Ji Chenghong, but his weight is probably the same as his height, and he is very strong.

The only female member of their team looked much younger, probably around the same age as Xie Xuan. She followed behind Ji Chenghong and Li Fei and looked rather introverted.

"Captain Xiao." Ji Chenghong nodded slightly to Xiao Yao, his expression not looking very good.

Not only Ji Chenghong, Li Fei also looked like he had lost his parents, but Zhang Xiaoqian seemed to be confused.

Xie Xuan knew what was going on at a glance. Xiao Yao's reputation in the 45th Precinct's Reception Department had become so bad that it was almost on par with the Grim Reaper.

Especially in this kind of dangerous C-level mission, Xiao Yao escaped unscathed in more than half of the records, but his teammates either died or went crazy.

"Captain Ji, I wish us a pleasant cooperation." Xiao Yao said with a smile, as if he was completely unaware of the reason for Ji Chenghong's worry.

Ji Chenghong sighed, "It's a pleasure to work with you."

After the five-person team was assembled, Zhang Xiaoqian, who was about the same level of novice as Xie Xuan, quietly asked Ji Chenghong, "Why is there only two people on their team?"

Ji Chenghong actually felt uncomfortable answering this question in front of Xiao Yao.

You can't say that it's because Xiao Yao is too demanding on his teammates. Plus, he can handle many D-level areas by himself, so assigning teammates to him is a waste of resources.

In fact, even he felt that if the Ecological Bureau had not strictly prohibited one person from carrying out the mission alone, Xiao Yao would probably be the first person to fly solo.

"Because... Captain Xiao is very powerful." Ji Chenghong said vaguely.

Zhang Xiaoqian pressed on, "Are the other A-level psychics also working in pairs?"

Ji Chenghong was stunned by the question.

"I'm the only one like this." Xiao Yao answered himself, "The reason I only have one team member is because my team members are also very good."

Xie Xuan, who was suddenly called, turned her head blankly and met Zhang Xiaoqian's gaze.

"Are you also an A-level psychic?"

"No." Xie Xuan shook her head.

Zhang Xiaoqian wanted to ask more, but Ji Chenghong quickly stopped her and said, "It's time to put on protective clothing and prepare weapons."

Although Xie Xuan's application was just signed yesterday, the communicator she was given had already been issued.

The pure white mushrooms looked very harmless lying on the black flocking cloth. Xie Xuan suddenly thought of the blue mushrooms she saw in her dream.

In comparison, I feel that the blue toadstool looks better?

Thinking of this, Xie Xuan placed the communicator on his temple.

Everyone put on protective clothing and prepared their weapons, and Bai Ze's voice sounded in the car on time.

"Attention Team 7 and Team 51. We are expected to arrive at our destination in five minutes. Please put on your protective gear and be ready. Preliminary mission rating: C-Class Reproduction Type. Estimated time to maturity: 3 hours and 30 minutes."
