"Mushrooms?"
No one said anything, but even an idiot could tell that the word was ringing in their minds like a monk ringing a bell. After a few seconds, the three of them raised their heads at the same time and looked around at the "buildings" surrounding them. Because he raised his head too high, Meowie Hu's mouth was half-open, and he could not help but let out a snoring sound from his throat.
Everyone had seen mushrooms before, but not many people could imagine a mushroom that was dozens of meters tall and could house hundreds of people like a building. Lin Sanjiu suppressed the strange feeling of disappointment and absurdity in her heart. She asked hoarsely, "All of them?"
"All of them." Puppeteer snapped his fingers, and the two puppets that had been following them silently knelt on the ground. Their limbs intertwined to form a chair for Puppeteer to sit on. Puppeteer had only gone through the preliminary treatment, so he was far from fully recovered. His stamina was still very weak.
"The street lamps that emit light are a type of 'Luminous Mushroom'. Because they are all natural creations, they are all different from one another. That's why some of them are bright and some are dark. Their appearance and the place where they grow are not very regular. " He raised his chin. Even though his voice was cold and soft, it was still loud enough for everyone to hear, "As for these buildings … they are even more complicated. Don't you know how many different types of mushrooms there are? "
Lin Sanjiu really didn't know. "I didn't expect Puppeteer to be so knowledgeable …" Lin Sanjiu thought to herself, but she didn't say it out loud. The bright and prosperous feeling of fullness and happiness that she had felt a few hours ago was now tangling with the dark and depressing reality in her mind.
"How can a mushroom be so big?" Bohemia asked with her eyes wide open. She wasn't the only one. All of them couldn't believe their eyes. How could a mushroom grow into a city?
Puppeteer waved his hand impatiently, and a shadow streaked across the air, heading straight for the two humans and the cat. Just as they were about to turn around to dodge, the shadow landed on the ground with a thud. A gust of wind blew at it, and the pages of the book flipped over.
"Mokugyo Forum Printed Book?" Lin Sanjiu read the words on the cover.
Even though she could recognize every word, it seemed meaningless to her. Compared to that kind of radiant and abundant experience, everything seemed dry, dim, thin, and distant at this moment.
It was Bohemia who stooped to pick up the booklet. She opened it and glanced through a few pages, muttering, "It's so expensive to do this."
As long as one was willing to spend money, the Mokugyo Forum could provide the posthumans with information about certain apocalyptic worlds. The content was far more detailed and comprehensive than what the average person could find. Even the distribution of dungeons, analysis of duoluozhong, climate change, and so on were recorded. It could be called the doomsday version of Lonely Planet. Needless to say, with such information in hand, one's life would naturally be longer than others.
Bohemia stared at the light of the Luminous Mushroom for a while, and her expression became more and more strange. "Er … The place you brought Master to, what was it called again?"
"Lobster Body Repair Center."
Bohemia sighed, rubbed her temples, and cursed under her breath, "Damn it."
"What's wrong?" Lin Sanjiu asked with a gloomy expression.
"Is it orange-red?" Bohemia asked without turning her head to look at the booklet. "At the top is a large irregular umbrella, and at the bottom is a short column …"
"Yes, when I opened the door, I saw a small crack …"
"It really is a mushroom." Bohemia closed the booklet and sighed again. "That is called 'Lobster Mushroom' … It's all written in this booklet."
Not only the common lobster mushroom, Lin Sanjiu also found many illustrations of other "buildings" in the booklet. The shapes of the mushrooms were very different, and many of the strange mushrooms had different names. However, after skimming through the booklet, Lin Sanjiu finally understood.
Why did that "bank" have dozens of doors, and each door was as narrow as a crack? It was because those weren't doors. They were just cracks on the surface of the mushroom. The local residents used the natural structure of the giant mushroom to extend the crack into a door.
Why didn't the bakery have an entrance? Why were they connected at the root? It was because they were all mushrooms that grew from the same root system.
For example, there were many small offices on the outside of the building, a living room with a wall full of small holes, and a city street without any planning to speak of … The reason why the city was so distorted like the imagination of a mental patient and full of strange vitality was that it was composed of thousands of different kinds of fungi that grew wantonly.
"There are quite a lot of mushrooms among them. They seem edible," Bohemia murmured.
"Edible?" As if offended, the cat doctor's fur bristled. He pointed at the shadows in the distance and said, "This doesn't look normal or healthy. Even if it's edible, no one would eat it! Besides, how are we going to eat it? Are we going to cut a piece of the wall and eat it? "
"Then, you will be remembered by them," Puppeteer said coldly. He was sitting at the outer edge of the Luminous Mushroom. His face was covered by the shadows, but he could see a pair of white, bony hands crossed over his black leather pants. "Lin Sanjiu attacked a mushroom, right? Everyone who has hurt them will be remembered by this community. They share their thoughts and memories. This is the reason why she was the only one who was infected by the spores in the lobster mushroom. "
Bohemia's expression changed. She exchanged glances with the cat doctor. She could still remember the time when she accidentally ran over a bean sprout that had just grown out of the mushroom while she was driving. That heart-wrenching scream still echoed in her mind. She quickly flipped open the notebook again and used her Higher Consciousness to protect her nose. Her voice was trembling as she said, "I... I was careless …"
However, she had been in the mushroom city for a long time, but she did not inhale any spores. The cat doctor thought for a moment and guessed, "Is it because those bean sprouts are too far away from this city and haven't matured yet, so they can't share their memories? Do you feel happy now? "
"If you want to cry, you can cry anytime," Bohemia pulled a long face.
"Wait a minute," Lin Sanjiu suddenly interrupted. She seemed to have just come to her senses, "In other words, anyone who attacks these mushrooms will be considered as an enemy … Is that why these mushrooms sent their servants to capture me and release spores at me?"
"Well, you can understand human language," Puppeteer said slowly, "You are truly the light of the fly world."
Usually, Lin Sanjiu would turn a deaf ear to his sarcasm, but this time, even though she remained silent, her expression seemed a little off.
"So, I just need to attack them again, right?"
