The doomsday virus has polluted the earth, the sky, and the rivers.

Plants and animals are mutated or decayed.

Human society collapsed, civilization collapsed.

The planet has been reduced to a wasteland.

……

Night.

Cracked roads.

The man with a distorted face, held in his arms, motionless.

In his head, a mechanical voice sounded.

[Corpse King detected, it is strongly recommended that the host exchange the corpse embryo devouring mycelium]

Flutter.

The flesh of his arm was torn open.

[Excessive blood loss of the host was detected, and it is strongly recommended that the host exchange for hematopoietic bacteria]

Click.

The bones of his arms were bitten off and chewed up.

[The host's limbs are mutilated, and it is strongly recommended that the host exchange for purple lingzhi]

A whisper sounded in his ears.

"The arm is finished.

"But I'm not full yet.

"I love the pipes.

"When I bite into it, hot blood immediately spurts out, and the taste is amazing.

"But your feelings, will be terrible.

"Otherwise, you hand over your things, and I'll leave hungry.

"Okay?"

[Corpse King detected, it is strongly recommended that the host exchange the corpse embryo devouring mycelium]

The man's breath was like a gossamer, and the trembling voice was squeezed out of the throat.

"Good......

“…… System...... Transfer ......"

[Host Transfer System Intent Detected]

【Commencement of Transfer Procedure】

[The current host has begun to unbind]

【……】

[The current host has been successfully unbound]

【Detection of transfer objects】

【……】

[The transferee is not a human]

【Transfer Failed】

[The system automatically looks for the next host]

[Goodbye]

In my head, the last mechanical sound ended, and I couldn't hear it again.

The man's face was twisted, and tears flowed from it.

"No...... Other...... Not ......"

……

Noon.

On the side of the road, there was a behemoth covered in layers of vines.

Behind the corner of the wall dozens of meters away, the boy squatted.

"Could this thing be ......... Legendary ...... Van? ”

His name is Bai Kabu, and he wears a shabby denim suit, short hair, and is thin.

Keep your eyes wide at this point, inspecting every corner of your field of vision.

He's on the lookout for zombies.

In the wasteland, zombies are everywhere.

This thing is extremely fast and powerful, and once targeted, it can be declared dead!

If you don't see any zombies, make sure you're safe ahead.

He swooped out and rushed towards the van.

The vine that covers the behemoth is called a "canned vine". For some reason, the pre-catastrophe relics covered by it are like sealed in cans, which can often escape the erosion of time and remain intact.

The canned vine is very strong, like an old tree root, and it is easy to get rid of. If you want to "open a can", you need to open it from above.

Bai Kabu grabbed the vines, nimble as an ape, and jumped to the roof of the car in a few clicks.

It is still covered by dense canned vines, but the vines are much softer.

He tore it with his hand, and in a moment he saw a silver-white metal plate.

Really a van!

He grinned, revealing a mouth full of white teeth.

Keep tearing...... Sure enough, as it is written in the book, there will be a sunroof on the roof!

There are no stones at hand, so it is inconvenient to smash.

He first tried to press his hand on the skylight, rubbed it twice, and it actually opened.

The skylight is not large, but he is thin and should be able to get in.

Dry it for a while to allow the air inside the car to renew.

After looking at the situation in the car, he carefully drilled in, and successfully entered the cabin with the seat back as the foothold.

The glass of the car was sealed with canned rattan on all sides, and it was dark and could not see the outside world, except for a beam of light from the sunroof.

The cloth seat is still soft.

"It's a canned vine."

There are more than a dozen sealed plastic bags stacked on the back seat, bulging with bags.

Bai Kabu picked it up, greeted the light cast by the skylight, and looked.

"The words on it are, 'nutrient soil'?

"Dirt? The soil before the catastrophe? Plastic bag sealing? ”

He rubbed his stomach, drank a bowl of boiled bread and grass for breakfast, and his stomach was already empty.

"If the soil is really not contaminated with the virus, use it to grow it...... Isn't that all-you-can-eat bread and grass? ”

Suddenly.

Ding——

There was a crisp sound, and a strange picture appeared in Bai Kabu's mind.

[The system has been successfully bound, congratulations to the host!] 】

【Super Mushroom System】

[Starter Pack: Air Cannon Spray Mushroom x1, Mycelium Manipulation (Skill)]

Bai Kabu was slightly stunned.

Several books passed down by his family, in the novels before the catastrophe, there were such plots.

System flow? Goldfinger?

Am I a pig's knuckle? The Chosen One?

Is it a hallucination? Or is it true?

Organize your thoughts and start validating.

He put down the nutrient soil, sat down in the van seat, took a deep breath, and tried to see the picture in his head.

It does exist.

"Collect skills, mycelium manipulation."

Ding——

[Congratulations to the host, learned skills, mycelial manipulation]

Body...... There is no such thing as a hot flow, a cold flow, or anything like that.

Look at the hands, nothing has changed.

There is no way to verify.

"Get the Air Cannon Mushroom."

Ding——

[Congratulations to the host, successfully received, air cannon mushrooms.] 】

Abruptly, in Bai Kabu's hand, there was a fleshy ellipsoid.

By the light cast by the sunroof of the van, I saw that the ellipsoid was grayish-white.

Pinch it, it's soft and elastic.

There are two small holes on the side, like nostrils.

There was a large horn at one end, presumably the muzzle of an air cannon.

"It's not a hallucination, it's real."

Moreover, Bai Kabu is aware of his own skills.

At the other end of the puff mushroom, more than a dozen slender mycelium extended, fluttering lightly and weakly.

There is a certain connection between himself and the air cannon mushroom in his hand. It's as if the mushroom becomes one of his hands, and the mycelium that extends from the mushroom becomes his fingers. As soon as the mind moves, the mycelium flutters with it.

"It's a real cheat!

"There's nutrient soil again.

"Isn't it not far from the day when you can eat enough every day!"

He grinned.

"System, introduce how to use air cannon mushrooms?"

[The air cannon spray is extremely hostile to any zombie, and whenever it smells the smell of corpses, it will erupt a powerful air cannon to smash the zombie's head!] 】

Smell the stench of corpses?

Shoot an air cannon?

Bai Kabu tugged at the corners of his mouth, immediately took out a plastic bag from his pocket, put the spray mushroom in it, and tied it tightly.

If it smells the smell of corpses and fires a cannon, won't the sound of the cannon attract the zombies?

"System, do you have any other functions?"

[None yet]

Bai Kabu nodded.

The van was inspected and nothing else of value was found.

More than a dozen bags of nutrient soil, he couldn't bring them back at one time.

But there is no hurry, this place is too far from the settlement, and no one will come except him.

Grab a bag of nutritious soil, climb out of the van, close the skylight, and cover the canned can.

"Next, go find a zombie and test the power of Puff Mushroom.

"The garment factory one is quite suitable, there are no other zombies nearby.

"Moreover, it only has an upper body, no legs."
