Chapter 320: Chapter 320: Origin of Mushrooms

Qu Baoguo didn’t make Liang Yu wait long; at his command, someone came jogging over in less than three minutes.

Without asking anything, the person, as Qu Baoguo instructed, picked up the radio and began explaining the clues he had to Liang Yu.

The person took a deep breath and said, “According to the information our people gathered, the west side of the city is quite special and is very likely the place you’re looking for.”

“There, our people discovered many shriveled corpses guarding the vicinity.”

“Therefore, we didn’t rashly enter to investigate.”

“Additionally…”

After listening to the person’s report, Liang Yu frowned; this was not good news.

Even Qu Baoguo’s expression beside him turned solemn. If what this person said was true, then the entire city was no longer very safe.

After he finished his call with Liang Yu, he would have to verify the situation as soon as possible. If it was truly as reported, then relocating the base would become an urgent matter.

Liang Yu then asked another question.

“When you go out to search for supplies, has the number of Survivors you encounter increased or decreased compared to before?”

Although he already knew the answer, he still wanted to ask for a final confirmation.

After only a brief silence on the other end of the radio, the answer was exactly what Liang Yu expected. Once he received the definitive answer, Liang Yu hung up the radio.

At this moment, Lan Ling had arrived beside Liang Yu without him noticing.

Liang Yu turned to face Lan Ling and reached out to caress her cheek.

“It seems the situation is worse than I expected. Those shriveled corpses are too dangerous. I need to deal with them.”

“Otherwise, I believe it won’t be long before they surround us here.”

Liang Yu’s words were not an exaggeration. If he allowed the other side to develop further, they would truly possess that capability.

Lan Ling wouldn’t say anything about Liang Yu’s decision; she only knew that her Da Zhu Ti Zi was definitely right.

So she asked about Liang Yu’s arrangements.

“Then, after you leave, what should I do?”

Liang Yu looked at Lan Ling tenderly, reached out and held her hand, and said with a serious expression.

“My dear, of course, you should take good care of the home after your husband leaves and wait for him to return.”

“If I’m not satisfied, you’ll be waiting for the family punishment, oh.”

Lan Ling, who was originally a bit moved, changed completely when she heard Liang Yu mention family punishment.

She had a lot of objections to Liang Yu’s so-called family punishment.

However, she didn’t say much, because she also had her own family punishment. After all, as the saying goes, two people sleeping in the same bed don’t produce two different kinds of people.

After arranging things for Lan Ling, Liang Yu changed into a brand-new set of armor, preparing to go and see the situation for himself.

The armor he wore was composed of many small rhomboid and pentagonal plates. Liang Yu didn’t know what material it was, but according to the description, it could easily withstand some ‘Dongfeng Express’ (missile) attacks.

He mainly wanted to test the new equipment, which was one reason Liang Yu didn’t use his Mechanical Armor.

The second reason was that this armor was not as heavy as the Mechanical Armor. Compared to the Mechanical Armor, this set was more flexible and lighter, and its performance far exceeded the Mechanical Armor; this could be said to be a numerical碾压 (crushing superiority).

After preparing, Liang Yu left the RV and headed east.

Along the way, he saw many abandoned buildings and desolate streets, and occasionally heard strange cries from afar.

When he arrived at what appeared to be a deserted factory, he keenly detected a faint life aura there.

Liang Yu cautiously approached the source of the life aura.

Through the cracks in the dilapidated walls, he saw a group of ragged dry corpses huddled together. Liang Yu looked at this group of dry corpses, somewhat curious about their behavior.

Liang Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally revealed himself and walked in.

As soon as Liang Yu appeared, the dry corpses inside quickly discovered his presence.

Those shriveled corpses slowly surrounded Liang Yu.

Facing the encirclement, Liang Yu was still a bit nervous, as it was his first time using this armor, but he remained calm on the surface.

At this moment, Liang Yu gripped the weapon in his hand, ready to respond to an attack at any time.

Just then, one of the dry corpses actually spoke, although its words were very awkward.

“You, come.”

“Intrude, die!!!”

Liang Yu was startled upon hearing this, not expecting the dry corpse to speak, so he tried to see if the other party could communicate.

“Get out of the way, and I can still leave you a complete corpse.”

Unfortunately, after Liang Yu finished speaking, the other party showed no reaction at all.

Seeing this, Liang Yu stopped wasting words. Since communication was impossible, he would act. He directly swung his weapon at the dry corpse closest to him.

The dry corpse appeared slow in movement but was quite agile in dodging; Liang Yu’s attack actually missed.

But Liang Yu didn’t care at all. This was just his weapon missing its target. At this moment, the armor on his body disassembled, floating around him.

Those rhomboid fragments quickly passed through the dry corpse and then returned to their original positions.

The dry corpse was cut into several pieces and fell to the ground.

The other dry corpses seemed to be provoked, or perhaps controlled by someone behind the scenes, and they all bared their fangs and claws, pouncing forward.

Facing the encirclement of seven or eight dry corpses, Liang Yu had no intention of avoiding them. Instead, he stood still and watched, not even raising the weapon in his hand to counterattack.

He allowed the dry corpses to come before him and launch their attacks.

However, each time the dry corpses attacked Liang Yu, a small pentagonal plate blocked their path. No matter how they attacked, they couldn’t break through the defense of the pentagonal plates.

Looking at the constantly attacking dry corpses around him and his impenetrable self-defense, Liang Yu was very satisfied with the armor based on this alone.

Liang Yu’s lips curved slightly upward; it was even harder to control than an AK47. Taking advantage of the gaps in the dry corpses’ attacks, he waved his single hand.

The rhomboid plates on the armor followed his gesture, instantly combining into a long blade. Then, Liang Yu changed his gesture, and the blade expanded outwards from him as the center.

Countless rhomboid plates pierced through the bodies of the surrounding dry corpses, and those dry corpses instantly turned into dust, scattering into the air.

Liang Yu was a bit bewildered. After changing the armor back to its regular form, he found it hard to believe that he had solved this group of dry corpses so easily.

Without the interception of the previous dry corpses, Liang Yu continued to advance in the direction of the city’s west side that he had previously detected.

Finally, he reached the place that was suspected to be the target.

As soon as he entered, he was met with a strong stench of decay, especially since shriveled corpses were everywhere, piled up like a small hill.

Liang Yu scanned the surroundings, trying to find anything related to fungi.
