Starting 40km northwest of City 1062.
Further northwest, there was an endless expanse of purple.
The purple color is distributed in a fan shape, stretching for hundreds of kilometers.
This place has also become a forbidden zone for humans.
Because all these purple things are made up of individual small mushrooms, as well as some giant purple mushrooms as big as skyscrapers.
These countless mushrooms turned this vast area purple.
In addition, these mushrooms have attracted countless mutated creatures to eat them.
Initially, many adventuring mercenaries and bounty hunters were drawn to the mutated creatures and came to hunt them.
But these creatures actually launched a counterattack, carrying out an organized reverse encirclement and slaughter.
These mutated creatures seemed to possess intelligence, guarding the purple area.
It will not attack if a mutated creature approaches.
They become aggressive only when humans approach, and will only attack humans.
The mercenaries who came hoping to profit from hunting mutated creatures paid a heavy price.
After word got out, very few people dared to come to this purple area.
This area is known as the Purple Forbidden Zone.
On the edge of the purple restricted area, a temporary base for a fishing port exploration team was also stationed.
They routinely use fuel and flamethrowers to burn large numbers of mushrooms in the Purple Forbidden Zone, and also use a large number of weapons to suppress and eliminate the mutated creatures that are attracted to them.
Unfortunately, the purple restricted area is too large, and the efforts of this small team are like a drop in the ocean, having little effect whatsoever.
The large mutated creatures attracted by the mushrooms stayed outside to guard the area, while the smaller ones, after being parasitized, would enter the giant mushroom.
From the outside, the center of the purple area appears peaceful.
What no one knows is...
In the center of the purple restricted area that stretches for hundreds of miles
There is a secret refuge 500 meters underground.
This shelter has been here since the end-of-the-world war began, and it has never been opened.
This shelter has its own ecosystem, which has been maintained for 50 years.
This place seems to be a corner forgotten by the world.
Just today, inside this shelter, the director in charge of the shelter clashed with the scientist in charge of the planting.
The shelter director was a man in his thirties named Murray.
Murray roared in the room, "There are 5,000 people who desperately need food, and you're telling me we're out of food reserves? How am I supposed to explain this to them?"
There were only two people in the room, and the other person was an elderly plant scientist named Yuan Guoping.
Yuan Guoping was also very unhappy, but he tried his best to restrain himself and said calmly, "I have told you this several times. I made a prediction for you five years ago. If you lift the restrictions on childbirth, we will have no food to eat in seven years."
Muli angrily said, "Five years ago you predicted seven years from now, but now, only five years have passed and you're telling me there's no food left? How are you going to take responsibility for this?"
Yuan Guoping frowned and said, "That was indeed the prediction at the time, but I never expected such a sudden situation. For some reason, a strange purple mushroom appeared in our plantation. These mushrooms grew in large areas around the plantation and inhibited the growth of normal plants, which caused us to lose a lot of grain this quarter."
Muli said, "Since so many mushrooms have grown, wouldn't it be better to switch to eating mushrooms for this season's food?"
Yuan Guoping quickly waved his hand and said, "This mushroom is different from normal mushrooms. I am still conducting tests and analysis. The results show that this mushroom is not poisonous, but it has a strong attack on cells. I need to conduct further research."
Muli seemed to see a glimmer of hope: "Since there's no poison, let's give it to the people." Muli only paid attention to the first half of the sentence and didn't hear the second half at all.
"No, absolutely not! I haven't fully understood it yet!"
Muli frowned and said, "Are you the director here or am I? Should we listen to you or me? If we don't feed them these things, do you think you can conjure up food?"
Yuan Guoping was speechless for a moment, and complained, "You just make things difficult for me. How am I supposed to conjure up food? I told you five years ago that a birth quota could only be opened if someone died in the shelter, but you just wouldn't listen and changed the shelter rules, removing the birth quota for everyone, which has led to the current situation."
Muli retorted angrily, "What do you know? We've all lived here our whole lives, with absolutely no fun. Opening up childbirth is what everyone is calling for. What's wrong with me doing that?"
Yuan Guoping said, "It's all because of you. You broke the rules first, got several women pregnant, and couldn't cover it up anymore, so you changed the rules in the name of the public."
"Shut up, this is none of your business to interfere," Mu Li snapped.
Yuan Guoping turned and left with a flick of his hand: "Fine, fine, I won't interfere with the food shortage. Do whatever you want with it."
Yuan Guoping left.
Muli called out through the communication device.
A group of more than a dozen people walked in shortly afterward.
Murray said, "Go to the plantation to pick mushrooms. Mushrooms will be our lunch."
"yes!"
A small team of a dozen or so people went to carry out their orders.
Yuan Guoping was angered by Mu Li and went straight back to the laboratory alone.
The study continued with the samples of purple mushrooms.
