The main group of survivors quickly stopped on the highway.

Everyone stared in alarm at the dense thickets of mushrooms on either side, their faces devoid of any joy, clearly indicating that this place also looked extremely dangerous.

"Look, didn't that red mushroom move just now? It looked like it had legs and ran away!"

"I saw it too, it wasn't a hallucination. Look at that mushroom that's as tall as a person. I just saw it open its eyes and look at us, but when I stared at it, it actually closed its eyes."

"These colorful mushrooms look like they're extremely poisonous. Can we really find food in this godforsaken place?"

The survivors were abuzz with discussion; this eerie mushroom forest seemed more dangerous than any other place!

Moreover, the strange phenomenon in the middle of the mushroom forest was quickly discovered among the crowd.

"Look, there's a pool in the middle, and a huge corpse! What kind of monster's corpse is this? It's so big?!"

"Look, there's a black mushroom growing on that skull! Could it be something eerie?"

All eyes were drawn to the black mushroom in the center of the pool.

On the enormous skull, the mushroom was pitch black, so black it was unsettling. Black particles around the mushroom twisted and distorted, affecting the surrounding space, just like black mosaics in a game, enveloping the mushroom.

Everyone felt an immense terror at just one glance and dared not approach.

Zheng Sheng frowned slightly as he looked at the strange black mushroom.

What is this thing? Even he felt a chill run down his spine just looking at it!

Wang Lu looked at the black mushroom in the center of the pool, but there was no fear on her face.

She said it calmly.

"Don't be afraid, I can sense it. As long as we don't disturb it, this place is safe, and we can even stay for a few more days without any problem."

"What if we disturb it?" Fang Ting suddenly asked.

"Hmm." Wang Lu thought blankly for a while, "I guess the only thing I can do is die in its presence!"

"And everyone except the captain is going to die!"

After hearing Wang Lu's words, everyone gasped. Wang Lu meant that if they dared to touch the black mushroom, they would surely die.

Upon receiving this answer, Zheng Sheng also wore a pained expression.

"Can't we go somewhere else?"

Wang Lu shook her head: "In my perception, this is the most suitable place in this forest, and also the safest place at night. Other places are probably more dangerous than here."

"Moreover, there is plenty of food to be found around here, making it the most suitable place if you want to collect all your supplies in one day."

Wang Lu pointed to a spot not far from the mushroom forest, where there was actually a small stream, the forest's water source.

Zheng Sheng hesitated for a moment, but ultimately trusted Wang Lu's judgment.

As one of the longest-surviving people in this world, and a rare survivor, Wang Lu's judgment should be correct.

Otherwise, I wouldn't be alive now.

"Then let's get ready and start collecting supplies here."

"Zhang Mu, Master Konghai, please arrange for someone to notify everyone."

"Warning to everyone: Never touch that black mushroom in the pool in the mushroom forest! That thing is a man-eating monster; whoever touches it will die!"

Zheng Sheng gave instructions for a long time, and finally handed over command of the team directly to Zhang Mu, letting Zhang Mu manage it.

"Zhang Mu, I'm entrusting the task of collecting supplies to you. As I said yesterday, everyone who ate the witch's porridge must hand over 50% of the collected supplies to the management team for unified distribution!"

"If you don't want to, take your food and get out of line!"

"Yes, Captain Zheng." Zhang Mu nodded and quickly led his team to Kong Hai to begin arranging for the survivors.

"Fatty, go and call Wang Dali over here."

Soon Luo Hao brought Wang Dali to Zheng Sheng.

Zheng Sheng looked the seemingly honest middle-aged man up and down and nodded in satisfaction.

He had been observing Wang Dali for the past few days and found that he was performing well in all aspects, and there seemed to be no problem with his character so far.

The main reason is that his sequence ability is too special. Although he doesn't have much combat power, he is still a rare talent.

"Interested in joining my team?"

Upon hearing Zheng Sheng's invitation, Wang Dali was overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.

"Yes! I do!"

"Captain, please don't call me Dali anymore, just call me Xiao Wang."

Wang Dali said excitedly that he had long wanted to join Zheng Sheng's team.

Although he had farmed all his life, was not particularly intelligent, and had no special skills, he was not stupid.

The real powerhouses in the team are Zheng Sheng and his teammates; everyone else is just a slacker.

His awakened peasant sequence originally had little combat power; if he were separated from Zheng Sheng and the others, someone like him probably wouldn't survive more than three days.

So ever since he awakened his sequence, he has been coming to Zheng Sheng every day to make his presence known, bringing watermelons one day, potatoes the next, and vegetables the day after, trying his best to show his value.

In order to survive, he has exhausted all the social skills and social interactions he has accumulated in the past few days.

Recently, he even found some eggs on the road to survival and is preparing to see if he can hatch them into chicks and raise chickens on the road to survival.

If I make Captain Zheng a bowl of fragrant chicken soup, I'll be in a much better position!

Unexpectedly, before the chicken even hatched, I received an offer from Zheng Sheng.

It's truly a blessing from heaven!

Thank you Buddha, thank you Jade Emperor, thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva, thank you Monkey King, thank you dear readers...

Seeing Wang Dali's delighted expression, Zheng Sheng smiled and quickly called over Luo Hao and Grandpa Liu.

"Fatty, we're only staying here for one day. We'll leave as soon as it's light tomorrow. Aren't you still missing the ingredients for making the second-tier Black Tendon Pill? You must find them within this day!"

As Zheng Sheng spoke, he took out three paper figures and handed them to Luo and the other two.

"Uncle Niu, you lead the team and go with Wang Dali to help Luo Hao find the necessary ingredients. You each take one of these three Yang Blood Paper Soldiers."

After Zheng Sheng finished speaking, he turned his head and looked solemnly at the strange black mushroom in the mushroom bush, and continued.

"You all heard what Wang Lu said, so I have to stay here to prevent anyone from getting close to this black mushroom. Please be careful."

"Remember, don't stray too far from this mushroom patch. If there's any danger, come back immediately!"

"Yes, Captain!" The three nodded and quickly left.

Zheng Sheng then looked at Zhang Qing, Fang Ting, and Tang Yanyan.

"You guys should go collect supplies too. It's best to follow Wang Lu; she's a survivor, so it'll be safer to collect supplies with her."

Wang Lu nodded and quickly rode away on the big cat with the three women.

In the end, only Zheng Sheng and Xiao Heizi remained, quietly guarding the pool near the black mushroom, with more than a dozen burly Yang Blood paper figures standing silently beside them, preventing anyone from getting close.

Just as Zheng Sheng and others were collecting supplies.

A dozen figures suddenly appeared on a large tree several hundred meters away, standing on the branches and watching from afar.

The leader looked at Zheng Sheng, who was guarding the pool, with a furrowed brow and an extremely unpleasant expression.

"Huh? How did they find this place?!"
