Players Please Get In the Car

"A lot," the little girl said hastily, "it's everywhere in the town."

As if she was afraid that he would not believe it, she hurriedly added: "Butterfly Bone Town was originally built on rocks, because wood is easily eaten by fungi, and it doesn't take long to build a house, and there is not so much money to go elsewhere. We buy metal materials in places where we can, so we rely on mountains or stones to build our houses.”

Xu Huo frowned, and said with a smile: "Don't be so nervous, I just think this kind of fungus is rare, and even stones can be used as nourishment."

Because there was only one person with them, and the road in the woods was not easy to walk, they might encounter fungus-corroded land at any time and have to change their course, so the two walked very slowly.

Seeing that he seemed to believe her words, the little girl relaxed a little, and said: "I heard from the old man in the town that it is actually because there is a kind of fungus that can live in stones, and this kind of insect-repelling fungus likes that kind of fungus very much." , so it also parasitizes on the stone, not the stone eaten by the anthelmintic fungus."

Xu Huo nodded, "Area 013 is really a magical place, do you have many players from other areas?"

"Not many..." The little girl paused and asked again: "The guest didn't come here for the copy, did he come here specifically to find bacteria?"

Xu Huo looked back at her, and she explained: "Although we don't have many people coming and going here, there are still some people who like to study fungi every year. Several people came here a few days ago...but now people I’ve already left, probably because I didn’t find the fungus I wanted.”

Pretending not to notice the unnatural turn of her words, he asked again: "Are there many players in the outer area of ​​Butterfly Bone Town?"

"I don't know..." The little girl hesitated before saying, "I've been out for a long time, and those people leave as soon as they say, so I don't know."

Glancing at her wound, "The fungus wound medicine you used has a good effect."

The little girl immediately took out the medicine bottle tactfully, "I made this myself, it's not worth much, and if the customer wants, I can make more for you."

Xu Huo took her things without any psychological burden.

It took the two of them quite a while to arrive at the Butterfly Bone Town that the little girl mentioned. It is indeed a town, with well-formed roads and signs, and even a station with a signboard left at the entrance—it should be after the town shrinks. There are traces left behind, but this town is not built on the mountain, but built underground.

Next to the abandoned station is a narrow step down, which is a long road leading directly to the bottom. There are forks on both sides of the steps every ten steps, which should lead to the left and right residences.

Xu Huo didn't rush down, but stood at the entrance and looked around.

Except for the abandoned station, there are no traces of other people's habitation on the ground. The surrounding trees have been cleaned up, and some stumps that have not completely disappeared protrude from the fungus.

The fungi in Zone 013 are all kinds of strange things. In addition to the flakes and flowers as the normal understanding, there are many that grow into vines, but they have no rhizomes, but a kind of cobweb or fishing net formed by the mycelium of the fungi. The same thing, there will be a lot of mycelium cocoons on it, I don't know how it grows, these mycelium spans the sky above the excavated underground cave, covering the cracked rock tightly.

The entrance has just been cleaned, but it can be seen from a little further away that it has been a long time since the last cleaning.

Xu Huo reached out to fish for the mycelia.

The little girl quickly stopped, "Those mycelia like fabric very much, maybe they will damage your clothes."

Now Xu Huo felt that Chi Xian's "inverted milk bottle" was somewhat useful.

He withdrew his hand graciously, and just as he was about to say something, a man covered in pus suddenly jumped out from under the steps. He rushed to the little girl in a few steps, took her hand and scolded, "Where are you running, you bastard?" Go, we have been looking for you for two or three days! Oh, you have suffered such a serious injury, your mother knows that she will die of heartache..."

After he finished speaking, he turned to Xu Huo, "It must be this kind man who saved my daughter, thank you so much, but unfortunately our family is poor and there is nothing to entertain you, if you don't mind, go and sit at home. "

That's what he said, but he didn't show too much enthusiasm, and he had a sense of propriety.

"Okay, I just want to find some fungi, and I need a local to lead the way." Xu Huo said.

Only then did the man help the little girl up, "My name is Liu Da, this is my daughter Xiaotan, what do you call me?"

"Yu Er." Xu Huo dealt with it casually, put away the props, and said kindly: "I see that you are also seriously ill, can you help her? How about I come?"

Liu Da heard a smile on his face, and let go without hesitation, "Thank you so much, come here, come this way."

After all, it is transferred from the ground to the underground, and the environment below will not be much better. Except for the fungi with different traces of old and new that can be seen everywhere, the tunnels for people to pass through are not very spacious, and some places have to bend over to pass.

There were not many people living here, until Mr. Liu, there were only two or three people in the same situation as him who came to look around.

There is also a woman in Liu's family. Her face is also covered with pustules. Her condition is much worse than the other two members of the family. It is inconvenient to move her legs. After seeing Xu Huo, she cheered up a little. Get up and pour him water.

Liu Da stopped her, "Whatever to pour, foreigners can't just eat our food here."

Liu's wife mumbled and put down the tea set.

Seeing that no one cared about Xiao Tan, a wounded man whose injury had not been treated, Xu Huo made a point.

The couple seemed to have suddenly realized the responsibility of being parents, and quickly helped their daughter to sit on the simple stone bed, caring and caring, and gave her the water they were going to drink for Xu Huo.

Then Liu Dashi suddenly began to talk about the hardships of his family and the people living in these caves. Originally, there were still many people in Butterfly Bone Town. After death, there are only a few people living here, and they cannot get in touch with the outside world—even if they get in touch, no one will work hard to save them, so they can only live here ignorantly.

"It's better to die than to live," Liu said with tears in his eyes, "who knows what will happen in the future, anyway, life is like this..."

Xu Huo looked at him expressionlessly, and echoed without any ups and downs in his tone, "Yes, it's really pitiful."

Seeing that he was unmoved, Liu Dali wiped away his tears, and muttered in a low voice, "It's nothing for us half-buried people, the poor child grows so big and eats poisonous bacteria..."

Xu Huo pretended not to hear, and asked: "You just said that Butterfly Bone Town became like this because of a special fungus. What kind of fungus is it? Can you take me to see it?"
