Watching Zhou Xun and the others leave, Zheng Sheng stroked Xiao Heizi beside him, reviewing what Zhou Xun had just said.

"Little Blackie, tell me, is what he said credible?"

"Woof woof," Little Blackie barked.

"Okay, never mind. I know you're a dog, no need to emphasize it."

He had been testing Zhou Xun and the others, and although Zhou Xun appeared sincere and open with everything he knew, the others didn't seem to react strangely.

But clearly, Zhou Xun seems to be hiding something.

"The Ember Squad is weaker than I expected. I wonder how strong their unseen captain is?"

"As soon as their captain was mentioned, Zhou Xun didn't dare to go into details. It seems the other party's situation is far more complex than just being injured..."

"And the fact that they're so eager to form an alliance with me suggests that the Ember Squad has run into some serious trouble."

According to what he learned from Liao Changguo, the Divine Tree Cult, the Residual Fire Squad, and Grandpa Sheep were three forces that had been entangled in a complex struggle for power.

And judging from the current situation, that seems to be the case.

However, Zheng Sheng didn't think much of it.

His high-profile entry into the forest and his display of formidable strength were intended to show these people that he was not a pushover and would deter them from further action.

Moreover, he had no intention of staying in the forest for long, nor did he want to get involved in the three-way conflict.

As for Zhou Xun's comment that the forest was like a ghostly realm, where one could only enter but not leave, he didn't care much.

After all, this wasn't his first time entering the Ghost Realm. With the blessing of Purple Thunder Yang Blood and Demon-Subduing Black Dog Blood, ordinary Ghost Realms simply couldn't hold him.

"After collecting the supplies today, we'll stay overnight and leave as soon as possible tomorrow morning."

"Unfortunately, this Ember Squad has no ancient heritage."

Around the mushroom forest.

Wang Miansheng, along with Li Xia and ten-year-old Xiao Shuang, were searching for food. Around them, they could also see a large number of survivors.

The mushroom forest was larger than they had expected, covering an area of ​​several kilometers, and was filled with all sorts of strange and unusual mushrooms of all sizes.

"...What a huge mushroom! This is only a few stories tall..."

"...Look, this mushroom is so beautiful, like a crystal work of art. If it were in the past, it would have sold for hundreds of thousands!"

"It smells so good! This mushroom smells just like a well-cooked steak."

"Look, this mushroom actually has a pair of chicken legs! And hey, it can even run!"

The survivors scattered and dug for mushrooms everywhere in the mushroom forest. Most of them followed Wang Lu's advice and only dug for those mushrooms that were ugly, strange, and smelly, while avoiding those that were brightly colored, beautiful, and fragrant.

Of course, not everyone.

"These mushrooms are golden, like they're made of gold! Could they be some kind of mutated, extraordinary plant?"

A young man in his early twenties with a buzz cut, wearing a yellow delivery uniform, stared greedily at the golden mushroom.

Looking at the golden mushroom, a strange voice suddenly arose in his mind:

Eat it! As long as you eat it, you can awaken the extraordinary sequence and become a superior person!

This must be the kind of opportunity described in novels; such an opportunity shouldn't be missed!

As the voice in his mind rang out, the delivery guy hesitated before walking toward the golden mushroom, completely forgetting Zheng Sheng's earlier warning.

As soon as he got close, the golden mushroom suddenly swelled up and sprayed out a large number of spores, instantly covering the deliveryman. Only then did he instantly regain his senses.

"What is this?"

The delivery driver froze, turned around to run, but suddenly found that he couldn't move his body.

"Help me, help me! I can't move my body!"

He began to plead for help from the survivors around him, but they were all easily frightened and, seeing his strange behavior, no one was willing to help him.

"Liu Qiang, save me! I saved you before. When you were broke, you broke your leg while delivering food, and I lent you 2 yuan. Don't you remember?"

The deliveryman called out to Liu Qiang, who was closest to him, but Liu Qiang didn't even listen and turned around and ran away in fear.

What is the gratitude for saving a life? It's all worthless in the face of death!

Looking at the survivors retreating around him, his face was filled with despair, because he could feel that his body was actually moving on its own!

The delivery guy turned around in terror, pleading for help from those around him, but his body seemed to have gained its own will, and he began to walk towards the golden mushroom.

"Help me! Liu Qiang, help me!"

He roared in terror, but slowly walked up to the golden mushroom and knelt down.

He took out the short knife from his waist, and with a soft "thud," he actually began to cut the meat little by little. Each piece of meat he cut off was neatly arranged around the golden mushroom, and he cut faster and faster.

Less than half a minute.

He removed all his flesh and internal organs, arranged them around the golden mushroom, and stained the ground red with blood.

What terrified the delivery driver even more was that he didn't feel any pain at all, and watched as he was cut into a bloodstained skeleton.

Finally, his head was also removed and placed on his own flesh and internal organs.

And he's still alive!

His face was still filled with terror, and he kept pleading for help.

"Save me, please save me!"

"Liu Qiang! I helped you so much before, why didn't you save me?!"

"I want to go home!"

Upon witnessing this bizarre scene, the surrounding survivors all frantically turned around and fled from the vicinity of the golden mushroom.

They didn't know what that thing was, but clearly, this mushroom forest wasn't entirely safe.

Wang Miansheng and his two companions were terrified as they watched the deliveryman, whose head was now the only visible part of him, still calling for help. They dared not look any longer.

"Follow me closely. If I run, you all run with me right away!"

Wang Miansheng warned Li Xia and Xiao Shuang behind him. The three of them were carrying large backpacks on their backs and plastic bags and urea sacks in their hands, which were already filled with a lot of mushrooms.

Wang Miansheng continued, "My ability allows me to foresee danger, so you must stay close to me!"

"Brother Sheng, what sequence did you awaken after your last fever? What level was it?" Xiao Shuang suddenly asked from the side. Although he was only 10 years old, his experiences in the past few months had made him seem like a little adult.

They have become very steady and cautious.

Li Xia, who was standing next to her, also looked curious.

Wang Miansheng hesitated for a moment, but still told the two of them. The three of them had always supported each other and had a life-or-death friendship.

When he was feverish and unconscious, although it was Grandpa Niu who rescued him, it was the two of them who helped him afterwards.

His successful awakening was at least half due to the efforts of the two of them.

"The sequence I awakened is called the [Coward] sequence..."
