Chapter 299: The mysterious mushrooms

The person was killed, but at this point, there was no time to confirm his identity; their focused attack was fully observed by the Survivors.

The earlier shooting of the Survivor was, quite smoothly, attributed to Fifth Master.

At this moment, the waters were muddied, and these Survivors who were against Fifth Master didn’t know why things had turned out this way.

Initially, they had only set their sights on Fifth Master’s supplies, gathering people from nearby to put pressure on Fifth Master and his group, wanting them to hand over some materials.

However, it inexplicably evolved into the current situation, where even their own survival was in question; at this moment, they somewhat envied those who had left.

Fifth Master, on the other side, was also bewildered; after the firing started, he knew things had gone bad, and although there might not be any major problems in the short term, a feud had been formed.

This also meant they had taken responsibility for the previous incident, which was what vexed Fifth Master the most; after all, an open spear is easy to dodge, but a hidden arrow is hard to guard against.

Who could know when someone would stab you in the back? He already had the idea of relocating again, and doing so secretly, while this place would serve as a mere facade.

At this time, Liang Yu’s side also encountered a situation that disrupted his original plan; according to the plan, he should have already been in that small Western-style house by now.

But someone had their eyes on them.

If you were faced with food suddenly appearing before your eyes, how would you handle it?

The six people patrolling near the wall encountered such a situation; they were suddenly drawn by a sound during their patrol.

Upon arriving at the source of the sound, they found a ground full of mushrooms, simple in color and looking not much different from ordinary edible mushrooms.

Seeing the ground full of mushrooms, these six people thought it was compensation given to them by Liang Yu, the people inside the wall; they couldn’t have been happier.

It just so happened that they were also very hungry at this time, and coupled with the extremely large number of mushrooms, the few of them discussed it and began to make a fire to cook.

Not only them, but Liang Yu’s side also received mushrooms that fell from the sky, and they landed precisely in the swimming pool where he had changed the water yesterday, forcing Liang Yu to change the water again.

As for those suspicious mushrooms, Liang Yu certainly wouldn’t clean them up himself, so the diligent Mario began his work of scooping up mushrooms.

Soon, Mario had collected all the mushrooms; Liang Yu looked at the full bucket of mushrooms, thoughtfully gazing in the direction of the mountain.

The next moment, hundreds of drones swarmed out, beginning to search for the ‘kind person’ who had sent him the mushrooms.

And it seemed there was more than one kind person; soon, the drones found over thirty Survivors on the ice mountain and nearby.

Liang Yu knew that many of these thirty-plus people were innocent, but at this moment, he didn’t care whether those Survivors were innocent or not.

Normally, Liang Yu might have just let it go, pretending not to see, but now that others had set their sights on him, this matter naturally couldn’t be left unresolved.

As for saying it was gratitude from other Survivors, food specially sent to thank Liang Yu, whether others believed it or not, Liang Yu certainly wouldn’t believe it.

A large bucket of mushrooms, if it were before the cold wave, would certainly be no problem; Liang Yu might even think that someone had too much at home and was sharing some with him.

But what time was it now? So many mushrooms, given away for free?

When things are abnormal, there must be a demon; not to mention the origin of these mushrooms, just the person who sent Liang Yu the mushrooms had no good intentions.

Soon, these thirty-plus deeply resentful Survivors were led by drones, with their truths pointed at them, to the front of the wall.

Mario, carrying that bucket of mushrooms, also appeared at the wall; many Survivors’ eyes went wide when they saw a bucket full of mushrooms, and although Liang Yu noticed, he still chose not to release these people.

The commotion here was quite large, and the six people eating mushrooms not far away naturally noticed it, quickly bringing their truths to the scene as well.

At first, when they saw the full bucket of mushrooms, they still believed they were right, that these mushrooms were given to them by Liang Yu.

It wasn’t until Liang Yu’s voice came from Mario that they realized they were gravely mistaken.

“I just received many mushrooms that fell from the sky.”

“But I don’t dare to eat these mushrooms; my idea is simple.”

“Return these mushrooms to their original owner; I wonder if anyone will claim them.”

After Liang Yu finished speaking, the Survivors present looked at each other; anyone with common sense could sense the strangeness in Liang Yu’s words.

Some Survivors, although they really wanted these mushrooms, also understood the awkward atmosphere, so much so that after three or four minutes, not a single person spoke up.

Liang Yu, who had already anticipated this scene, didn’t take it to heart and directly issued an order to the thirty-plus Survivors present.

“Everyone, take one large mushroom, then return to your original spot.”

After Liang Yu’s command was issued, some people wanted to act like clowns, but under the aim of so many drones’ truths, they dared not say another word.

So no one stood out to resist; these thirty-plus Survivors obediently followed Liang Yu’s instructions, came before Mario, and each took a mushroom.

It was only during this back-and-forth that Liang Yu had the chance to notice that there were a few Survivors in the crowd whose behavior was very abnormal, which immediately caught Liang Yu’s attention.

However, Liang Yu did not directly pick out these few people and let the other Survivors leave, as Liang Yu could not be sure if this was part of their plan.

Once they had all taken mushrooms and returned to their previous positions, Liang Yu’s second command was issued again.

However, this time, in addition to the command, there was something else.

“Everyone, eat the mushroom in your hand.”

With the previous incident as a prelude, the resistance of the thirty-plus Survivors was much less this time.

A few of them holding the mushrooms wanted to ask Mario how to eat these mushrooms, as they were raw and had been soaked.

However, when they met Mario’s gaze, all their words were swallowed back; they forced themselves to put the mushrooms into their mouths and swallowed them without even chewing.

Seeing that they had all swallowed, Liang Yu then added.

“Oh, I just forgot to tell you, these mushrooms are not mine; they were thrown over by some of you.”

“As for whether they are poisonous or not, I don’t know.”

“The person is among you; find them yourselves.”

“If you can’t find them, eat one every two minutes.”

However, Liang Yu’s approach immediately drew protests from some people, who said:

“We are all Survivors; you can’t treat us like this.”

“We can help you find this person, but you can’t force us to eat that mushroom.”

“Alright, according to the rules, you need to pay us corresponding food and drinking water.”
