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 70 Giant Fishman

This place looked like a workshop for feeding marine life, with a huge pool next to it. They were standing on a small platform next to the pool, and behind the giant fishman was an equally huge door. Now the door was ajar, leaving a gap.

It seemed that this crack in the door was the only way to escape, but there was a fishman guarding in front, so Xie Xuan did not act rashly.

"Xiao Yao?" Xie Xuan tried to find her captain amid the cries of the people around her.

There are about two hundred people in the performance hall, but the infection range when the C-level field is generated may be larger than a performance hall, and people who are not in the performance hall may also be affected. In other words, there are at least two hundred people in the field now.

But Xie Xuan took a quick look around and found that there were only thirty people around him at most, and Xiao Yao was not among them. In other words, the people who entered the field at the beginning were dispersed.

Xie Xuan could only try to save herself.

She thought of the infection incident that had occurred at a pet exhibition before. At that time, the identities of pets and humans in the field were swapped. Humans were locked in cages, while pets stood outside the cages and watched humans. This field seemed to follow a similar logic.

Humans become bait, and fish become the butchers that control their life and death.

If we follow this logic, where would Zhang Zheping be?

Xie Xuan was still a little concerned about the person who died suddenly just a second before the field was opened, as if he had been sucked dry.

Besides her, he should have seen other people who could control mycelium. Could this person be Zhang Zheping?

Just when Xie Xuan was distracted, the fishman bent down again, grabbed the two people, and threw them into the pool with neat movements.

Huge splashes of water appeared in the dark blue pool, drowning out the screams of the two people.

The remaining people immediately fled in terror, and the fishmen began to capture them one by one again without getting tired of it.

Some people were running around in panic, but more people, like Xie Xuan, found that the door was not closed tightly and were running towards the crack.

Xie Xuan was in the front group, with five or six people following behind her.

But the door that seemed so close in front of her was out of reach no matter how hard she ran. Xie Xuan was breathing rapidly, and at this moment, she suddenly felt the wind behind her moving unnaturally.

Xie Xuan's crisis instinct made her change direction immediately and quickly avoid to the side. When she turned around again, Xie Xuan saw a huge foot stepping down towards them.

Xie Xuan immediately took out a dagger and threw it hard at the fishman's feet. The fishman felt pain and stopped stepping on it.

"Run!" Xie Xuan shouted and ran towards the crack of the door again.

There were several footsteps following behind him one after another. Xie Xuan did not look back and ran forward with all his strength.

The gap in the door was getting closer and closer, and Xie Xuan was almost at the limit of her physical strength, but after she squeezed through the gap, she was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.

Behind the door was another workshop, with the same huge pool and giant fishman, and the same humans fleeing in all directions.

There is no way out here at all.

The people who followed Xie Xuan were also stunned when they saw this scene. For a moment, they didn't know whether to advance or retreat. It seemed that whether they advanced or retreated, it would be a dead end.

A gust of wind came from behind Xie Xuan again. She turned around and saw that the giant fishman had bent down and grabbed the two people following her.

The human who was struggling in the hands of the fishman now looked like a mouse with its tail pinched, which was a kind of hellish comedy.

The fishman looked at the terrified human, seemed to think for a moment, stood up by pinching one of the unlucky guy's legs, tilted his head back, opened his mouth wide and put the human in.

Xie Xuan stood at the feet of the fishman and could only see a small piece of calf with a foot falling from the fishman's mouth. It fell from a height of ten meters and splashed blood all over the ground.

"ah--!"

The person held in the merman's other hand screamed and struggled like crazy, but to the merman, their resistance was like being bitten by an ant.

The fishman turned around as if he didn't see Xie Xuan who had already walked through the door, took a step forward, and as if he thought the human in his palm was too noisy, he squeezed it hard, and the sharp cry disappeared immediately after a slight "puff".

Xie Xuan turned her head away reluctantly. She had to think about what to do next.

There were identical workshops on both sides, and no other exits were visible. Did she have to wait for the fishmen to feed the unknown creatures in the water before leaving with them?

Xie Xuan held the dagger in her hand again, or she could go into the water to see what was in it.

But this plan was too risky. If the creature in the water was as huge as the merman, she would have no power to resist in the water.

While Xie Xuan was hesitating, the fishman in another room had almost thrown all the ordinary people involved into the water, but no one floated up from the water.

The C-level field train that Xie Xuan entered last time relied on mental infection to control all humans, but this field was extremely bloody and violent and directly killed all humans.

This is also not in line with the basic rules of the domain. The vitality of every human in the domain is an important nutrient for the domain to catalyze the maturation of spores. In the process of humans being completely infected and becoming infected, humans need to stay alive so that the domain can extract their vitality.

Xie Xuan suddenly stopped when she thought of this. Does that mean the person who was thrown into the water must be dead?

Except for the two people that Xie Xuan saw being eaten and crushed to death by the fishman, Xie Xuan did not see the deaths of other people with his own eyes.

So the exit might really be in the water, Xie Xuan thought.

The fishman in this room threw all the humans into the water. It stood motionless facing the water for a few seconds, then suddenly turned its head to look at Xie Xuan.

Strictly speaking, he didn't turn his head, but turned his eyes to Xie Xuan.

Because Xie Xuan was some distance away from the fishman, Xie Xuan could clearly see the fishman's eyes rolling a few times and its mouth opening and closing a few times. It was clearly a fish head, but Xie Xuan could actually see a greedy expression on its face.

Xie Xuan got goosebumps. This fishman wanted to eat her?

As if to confirm Xie Xuan's guess, the fishman suddenly walked towards Xie Xuan, and Xie Xuan immediately ran towards the pool.

The fishman walked faster and faster, and Xie Xuan ran faster and faster.

Before the fishman caught up with Xie Xuan, she arrived at the pool first.

The pool looked bottomless. Although there was a light on the ceiling, the water in the pool was a deep dark blue, and it was impossible to see what was inside.

Xie Xuan made up his mind, took a deep breath, and jumped in.
