Zombie Cultivation Across Worlds-Chapter 78 – Mushroom City! Mushroom People!

Spores began to spread, carried by the breeze towards East Lake City.

It seemed they sensed the presence of a living being like Chu Xuan.

The spores even started drifting towards him.

Chu Xuan casually unleashed a Netherfire Bomb.

Flames erupted.

In an instant, the spores were reduced to ashes.

Chu Xuan did not land but stood on the Heavenly Force Flying Sword, overlooking the city.

Everywhere he looked, there were mushrooms.

At first glance, it seemed full of life.

But upon closer inspection, it was deathly silent.

As if all life had been consumed.

"It seems during my seclusion, quite a few transcendent creatures have appeared nearby."

Chu Xuan was not alarmed but rather pleased.

He never considered transcendent creatures a threat.

As long as one's strength was sufficient, everything could be crushed like bugs.

The only difference was.

Some bugs were useless.

While others were of great use to him.

Chu Xuan scanned the city but found no other creatures present.

He continued flying eastward.

Soon, he crossed Linjiang Province and reached the border of Hanhai Province.

"Hanhai Province."

"There are even more Mushroom Cities here."

"I recall the force occupying this area is called the Boat Gang."

Chu Xuan looked at the mushrooms spreading and growing like tumors on the land, deep in thought.

……

Hanhai Province, Yuhai City.

This city was the capital of Hanhai Province.

It was also the core territory of the Boat Gang.

It should have been the safest place.

However, it was now overrun by mushrooms.

Gunfire echoed through the streets.

One by one, mushroom people fell.

Yet more mushroom people stood up.

Survivors with slight wounds or who inhaled the mushroom spores would undergo drastic changes within an hour.

Without timely treatment, they too would join the ranks of the mushroom people.

These terrifying mushrooms were thus able to sweep through everything, unstoppable.

"Die!"

The Captain roared, muscles bulging on his arms.

They were even thicker than his thighs!

He swung a massive, heavy anchor, smashing a mushroom person into mushroom paste.

He was a powerful Level 4 Strength-type Extraordinary Being.

Like most Strength-type Extraordinary Beings.

His arms were the enhanced part.

Once he fully unleashed his power.

His arms could swell four times their size.

Swinging weights far beyond the limit!

"Old Lu! Another batch of mushroom people is coming, block them!"

The Captain shouted.

However, there was no response from that direction.

The Captain stomped the ground, crushing a mushroom person's head, and climbed to a higher vantage point.

He looked in that direction.

Only to find that the transcendent team had been overwhelmed by mushroom people.

His familiar "Old Lu," had mushrooms growing from the left side of his body.

Rationality and madness alternated on Old Lu's face.

As if two people were fiercely playing tug-of-war.

Old Lu clung to his sanity, drew a short knife from his waist, and stabbed it into his arm.

The intense pain allowed his rationality to momentarily take control.

"Boss... kill me!"

However, in the next instant, he lunged at the Captain with a vicious expression.

The mushroom transformation had further enhanced his physical qualities.

In three seconds, he reached the Captain.

His mushroom-covered mouth opened wide.

Attempting to spray spores into the Captain's nose and mouth.

"Rest in peace..."

The Captain, with a pained expression, swung the anchor down hard.

Bang!

Old Lu's head was smashed into the concrete by the heavy anchor.

Red blood and white brain matter mixed and flowed out.

Old Lu's body twitched for a while before finally going still.

Intense gunfire sounded from not far away.

Soon, a team retreated while fighting, reaching the Captain's side.

Leading them was a burly man.

His name was Feng Biao, once a fisherman from East Sea like the Captain.

After the zombie outbreak, he was fortunate enough to awaken his abilities and become an Extraordinary Being.

The Captain quickly asked, "How's the north district?"

Feng Biao shook his head and said in a low voice, "It's lost. Except for us, everyone else is dead."

The Captain's face turned extremely grim.

Since a month ago, mushrooms had sporadically appeared around Yuhai City.

Initially, people didn't pay much attention.

After all, the Boat Gang had easily repelled a group of mushroom people before.

Those mushroom people were weak, a Level 1 Extraordinary Being could take on two or three alone.

A few survivors could swarm and kill mushroom people with bullets.

People thought all mushroom people were this weak.

They even considered the defeat of the Linjiang Army a joke.

Losing to such weak mushroom people.

The complacency towards mushroom people also led to a lax attitude among the Boat Gang's Extraordinary Beings.

Originally, as per the Captain's orders, water and food had to be checked daily to prevent contamination by mushroom spores.

However, his orders were not fully implemented.

The ease of spore transmission meant that incomplete implementation was as good as no implementation!

The result was a flood-like mushroom outbreak!

North district, south district, west district!

In a matter of days, large numbers of mushroom people appeared in these three directions.

Countless ordinary people under the Boat Gang's protection were killed and transformed into mushroom people.

The Boat Gang's only escape seemed to be boarding ships from the east district and fleeing to the sea.

But the Captain knew that was a death sentence.

The current ocean was more terrifying than the land.

Who knew how many marine creatures had mutated in the deep sea.

They were enormous, with immense strength.

A casual flip could create huge waves, capsizing ships.

Boarding ships was a last resort.

But now, it seemed to be the only option.

"The Linjiang Army has long since disbanded, and Ye Nantian's whereabouts are unknown."

"Who else can we rely on..."

The Captain looked at the few people around him, showing confusion for the first time.

Feng Biao looked at the Captain, seeing the pillar-like figure also looking lost, and couldn't help but sigh.

The Boat Gang, the largest force in Hanhai Province.

Would it also fall apart and fight amongst itself like the Linjiang Army?

"Let's go, retreat to the east district, and board the ships."

"We'll try to sail close to the coast, avoiding the open sea."

The Captain said in a deep voice.

"Understood."

Feng Biao and the others nodded.

Boarding the ships was a last resort, even potentially suicidal.

But dying later and dying now were different.

Keeping this life might allow them to rise again in the future.
