Chapter 137 Fungal Attack
The guy with glasses stood not far away, pointing to a greenhouse-like room to greet everyone.
Lu Sheng and Xu Yi stood up and hurried over, following his line of sight and looking in.
The greenhouse is filled with mushrooms, fungus, and other mushrooms that are suitable for dark and humid environments. After entering the apocalypse, most plants will evolve to become more lush, and even these mushrooms are no exception.
In a room about fifty meters long, the dozens of long cabinets placed against the wall were all crowded and occupied.
There were three adult men in white coats standing next to the long cabinet at the back, slowly playing with the large mushrooms that had grown into steamed buns.
"Don't move!"
The guy with glasses was about to open the door, but Xu Yi held his wrist down in time.
"These people have been infected by fungi and may have turned into zombies." Xu Yi said with blazing eyes and a low voice.
"Fungal infection...is it athlete's foot?"
The guy with glasses suddenly felt itchy on his body, scratched it and asked with a confused look on his face.
"Look at the wrists of the three of them."
Xu Yi's words attracted the attention of the remaining people, and a group of people gathered outside the greenhouse.
Lu Sheng stared closely at the three people in the greenhouse.
The three of them looked young in appearance and back, but their movements looked extremely slow. All three of them wore gloves, masks and hats, and the color of their skin could only be seen from the wrists exposed at the cuffs.
The exposed parts of my wrists were all covered with coin-sized red patches, which made my whole body feel itchy.
Typical symptoms of fungal skin infection.
"Don't make any noise and leave first. Fungal zombies are difficult to deal with."
Xu Yi slowly took a few steps back and gestured to the remaining people.
The professional medical talents said this, and the others did not dare to delay, so they immediately gathered their things and prepared to leave.
Lu Sheng clenched the handle of the knife and stared at the three slow-moving fungus carriers in the greenhouse. With his other hand, he took out a gas mask and threw it to Sun Tiantian and the others.
She didn't know much about fungal zombies. She only read about them once in a while from the doomsday knowledge manual provided by the system.
After the end of the world, the fungal spores carried by mushrooms will also mutate and even infect the human body.
The attack range of fungus zombies is particularly long and they are difficult to defend against.
Not only can it cause fungal lesions on the skin surface, but it can also attack the central nervous system after entering the body through the respiratory tract.
More difficult to deal with than traditional zombies.
As if sensing movement outside the door, the three fungus zombies in the greenhouse suddenly stopped moving.
"Move quickly!"
Lu Sheng felt something was wrong and hurriedly urged him in a low voice.
Zhang Qiang, who had just put on the mask, nodded subconsciously and ran away in a panic. As a result, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he staggered two steps and hit the greenhouse door directly.
Bang!
The sound of impact was extremely loud in the quiet corridor, and the people in front of them turned around in surprise at the sound.
The greenhouse door was originally ajar, but he knocked it open.
Zhang Qiang covered his head and got up dizzy. When he raised his eyes, he saw that the three fungus zombies had suddenly raised their heads and focused on him.
Everything happened so suddenly. Lu Sheng's pupils tightened and he raised his head to look in the direction of the fungus zombies.
Sure enough, the three zombies that were so slow just now suddenly rushed towards the door like a whirlwind.
"Get up quickly!"
Lu Sheng reached out and grabbed Zhang Qiang's collar, trying to pull him up from the ground.
But Zhang Qiang's legs were so frightened that he felt like he had stepped on cotton under his feet. After two steps, his knees went weak and he knelt on the ground.
In just a few seconds, three fungus zombies rushed to Zhang Qiang.
Chi.
His big mouth grinned up to his ears, and he bit Zhang Qiang's nose.
Along with Zhang Qiang's screams, the skin and clothing all over his body were quickly invaded by fungi at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The red patches spread along the bloody face to the fingertips, and soon the skin surface was covered with white hyphae.
Everything happened so fast that before everyone else could react, Zhang Qiang was already lying on the ground motionless.
"ah!"
Seeing the horrifying scene in front of her, Han Rui screamed subconsciously, took a few steps back, and almost ran into Zhang Xiaojuan's arms.
The girl's shrill voice suddenly attracted the attention of the three fungus zombies.
The leading zombie opened its mouth wide and spit out a mouthful of minced meat.
Along with a black-gray turbid air, the bloody pieces of meat were sprayed out more than three meters away, landing just at Han Rui's feet.
"Ahem."
There was a cough from the direction of the crowd.
Lu Sheng frowned. The black air just now should be all the hyphae of fungi. The corridor is too narrow, and any bite of these zombies will cause large-scale AOE damage.
"You go first! I will follow in a moment! Don't wait for me!"
She kicked away the fungus zombie that rushed in front of her, and swung her knife swiftly without hesitation.
This sword was made with a lot of strength, and the force of the sword was fierce and urgent.
With a flash of cold light, the sharp blade pierced the air. The sharp blade was wrapped in an electric arc and directly cut off the fungus zombie's neck.
As the zombie's skull rolled to the side, black mist half a meter high instantly sprang up from the broken neck.
Black fog quickly dispersed in the air, and the entire corridor was filled with a damp, musty smell.
Although Lu Sheng was rewarded by the system with a body that is invulnerable to all poisons, the smell was a bit nauseating. She conveniently put the gas mask on her face and concentrated on dealing with the remaining two.
"Ouch!"
The death of their companion angered the two fungus zombies. Their cloudy eyeballs stared at Lu Sheng, and they opened their huge black mouths and rushed over madly.
Lu Sheng turned sideways to avoid the zombie's sharp claws, and slashed across with the sharp Tang Dao.
The fungus zombie was unable to dodge, and Lu Sheng cut off his right arm with a knife.
Lu Sheng stepped on the cabinet in the corridor and jumped up, stepping lightly on the left shoulder where the fungus zombies were pouring down.
The electric light suddenly appeared, and the Tang knife flashed with cold light, piercing through the fungus zombie's skull. Finally, the blade turned and picked out the crystal core in its brain.
The remaining smaller zombie was naturally unable to survive alone, and was dispatched by Lu Sheng in a matter of seconds.

Lu Sheng touched her hair casually. The attack range of these fungus zombies was too large. She tried to avoid them but she was still covered in mycelium.
The fungus is extremely contagious and may cause infection through contact or breathing. In order not to infect Sun Tiantian and others, Lu Sheng immediately got into the space.
After quickly taking off his clothes, Lu Sheng mixed up a large bucket of concentrated liquid and sprayed himself from head to toe.
Without enough time to dry off, Lu Sheng quickly changed into clean clothes and hurried after him.
"Sister! What to do! They are all infected!"
