Chapter 137: Fungal Attack
The glasses guy stood not far away, pointing to a greenhouse-like room to greet everyone.
Lu Sheng and Xu Yi stood up and hurried over, following his line of sight and looking in.
The greenhouse is full of mushrooms and fungus that are suitable for dark and humid environments. In the end of the world, most plants will evolve more luxuriantly, and even these mushrooms are no exception.
In a room about 50 meters away, more than a dozen long cabinets placed against the wall were all crowded and occupied.
There are three adult men in white coats standing next to the long cabinet inside, slowly playing with large mushrooms that have grown into steamed buns.
"Don't move!"
The glasses guy was about to open the door, but Xu Yi held down his wrist in time.
"These people are infected by the fungus and may have turned into zombies." Xu Yi's eyes were like torches, and he lowered his voice and said in a deep voice.
"Fungal infection...... Is it athlete's foot? β
The glasses guy suddenly felt an itch on his body, and asked with a confused face after scratching it.
"Look at the wrists of the three of them."
Xu Yi's words attracted the attention of the remaining few people, and a group of people gathered outside the greenhouse.
Lu Sheng stared at the three people in the greenhouse closely.
The three of them don't look very old in shape and back, but their movements look extremely slow. All three were wearing gloves, masks, and hats, and the color of their skin could only be seen from the exposed wrist at the cuff.
The exposed parts of the wrists are all red patches the size of a coin, and it makes you feel itchy all over your body.
Symptoms following a typical skin infection with a fungus.
"Don't make a sound, leave first, fungal zombies are difficult to deal with."
Xu Yi slowly took a few steps back and gestured to the rest of the people.
The medical professionals all said this, and the others did not dare to delay, and immediately gathered their things lightly and prepared to leave.
Lu Sheng clenched the handle of the knife and stared at the three slow fungal carriers in the greenhouse, and with the other hand, he took out the gas mask and threw it to Sun Tiantian.
She didn't know much about fungal zombies, only occasionally seen it once in the doomsday knowledge manual provided by the system.
After the end of the world, the fungal spores carried by mushrooms will also mutate and even infect the human body.
Fungal zombies have a particularly long attack range and are difficult to prevent.
Not only can it cause fungal lesions on the surface of the skin, but it can also attack the central nervous system after entering the body through the respiratory tract.
It's tougher than traditional zombies.
As if sensing movement outside the door, the three fungal zombies in the greenhouse suddenly stopped.
"Hurry up!"
Lu Sheng felt bad, and hurriedly urged in a low voice.
Zhang Qiang, who had just put on a mask, nodded subconsciously and ran away in a panic. As a result, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he stumbled two steps and hit the greenhouse door directly.
Bang!
The crash was loud in the quiet hallway, and the people in front of them turned their heads in shock.
The door of the greenhouse was originally hidden, but he directly knocked it open.
Zhang Qiang covered his head and got up dizzily, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the three fungal zombies had raised their heads violently and focused on him.
Everything happened too suddenly, Lu Sheng's pupils tightened, and he looked up in the direction of the fungal zombie.
Sure enough, the three zombies that were still slow just now instantly rushed towards the gate like a whirlwind.
"Hurry up!"
Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed Zhang Qiang's collar and wanted to pull him up from the ground.
But Zhang Qiang's legs were frightened, and the soles of his feet were like stepping on cotton, and he knelt on the ground with his knees weak after two steps.
In just a few seconds, three fungal zombies had already rushed to Zhang Qiang.
Whoa.
The big mouth that grinned to the root of his ears bit Zhang Qiang's nose.
With Zhang Qiang's screams, the skin of his whole body was rapidly invaded by the fungus at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Red patches spread along the bloody face to the tips of the fingers, and soon the surface of the skin was filled with white hyphae.
Everything happened so quickly that before everyone else could react, Zhang Qiang was already lying on the ground and not moving.
"Ahh
Seeing the creepy scene in front of her, Han Rui subconsciously screamed, took a few steps back, and almost crashed into Zhang Xiaojuan's arms.
The girl's thin voice immediately attracted the attention of the three fungal zombies.
The leading zombie opened its mouth and spewed out a mouthful of minced meat.
Accompanied by a black-gray turbidity, the bloody pieces of flesh spewed out more than three meters away, just falling at Han Rui's feet.
"Ahem."
A cough sounded from the direction of the crowd.
Lu Sheng's brows tightened, the black gas just now should have been all fungal mycelium. The corridor is too narrow, and these zombies can cause a large area of AOE damage at any time.
"You go first! I'll keep up in a moment! Don't wait for me! β
She kicked away the fungal zombies that rushed in front of her, and swung her knife quickly without hesitation.
This knife used a lot of force, and the knife was fierce and urgent.
With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade broke through the air, and the sharp blade wrapped in an electric arc, directly cutting off the neck of the fungal zombie.
As the zombie's skull rolled to the side, a half-meter-high black mist instantly rose from the broken neck.
The black mist quickly drifted through the air, and the entire hallway was filled with a damp and musty smell.
Although Lu Sheng was rewarded by the system with a body that is invulnerable, the smell was also a little disgusting. She casually fastened the gas mask to her face and concentrated on the remaining two.
"Whew!"
The death of their companion angered the two fungal zombies, and their cloudy eyes stared at Lu Sheng tightly, opening their huge black mouths and rushing over frantically.
Lu Sheng dodged the zombie's sharp claws sideways, and the sharp Tang knife slashed horizontally.
The fungal zombie couldn't dodge and was cut off his right arm by Lu Sheng.
Lu Sheng stepped on the cabinet in the corridor and jumped up, stepping lightly on the slanted left shoulder of the fungal zombie.
The lightning flashed, and the cold light of the Tang knife flashed, penetrating from the top of the skull of the fungal zombie. Finally, with a twist of the blade, it picked out the crystal nucleus in its brain.
The remaining small zombie was naturally lonely and difficult to scream, and it was solved by Lu Sheng in three or two clicks.

Lu Sheng touched her hair casually, the attack range of these fungal zombies was too large, and she tried her best to avoid it and still got mycelium all over her body.
The fungus is highly contagious and can cause infection by contact or breathing. In order not to infect Sun Tiantian and them, Lu Sheng immediately entered the space.
Quickly undressed, Lu Sheng mixed a large vat of concentrate and sprayed himself from head to toe.
There was no time to dry it, so Lu Sheng quickly changed into clean clothes and chased after him quickly.
"Big sister! What to do! They are all infected! β
As soon as he kept up with the large army, he heard the anxious voice of the glasses brother.
