In the seventh year of the fungal outbreak, 70% of the world's population has been infected by "golden spores". Mycelium grows in the brains of infected people, and their behavior is gradually covered by "bacterial consciousness". The city is still functioning, but everyone is quietly rotting away.
Chen Hao, an ingredient buyer at the urban village market. He is naturally immune and can taste the infection level of food - F0 to F10 - with his tongue. He doesn't want to be a hero, he just wants to let the people around him eat a clean meal in this fucked up world.
Until that night, he found a girl covered in blood in the warehouse.
Her name is Su Wan, the daughter of the top chaebol Shen's family, and a core participant in the "Human-Fungal Fusion Project" - but she defected. With a living strain implanted in her body, she can hear the "voice" of the fungus and can temporarily suppress the infection with her own blood.
The people chasing her were sent by her father.
The people in the village in the city don't know who she is. They only know that since she arrived, there has been a batch of "clean flour" in the supply station, the daughter of Sister Liu's bun shop has recovered from her fever, and even the crying mushroom tree in the west of the city has become quiet.
But the price is huge - every time Su Wan uses his "sense ability", his lifespan is shortened.
The neighbors in the urban village didn't know what Chen Hao was doing. They only saw a buyer covered in oil fumes, a young lady in rags, a veteran carrying a kitchen knife, a crazy street orphan, and a black market doctor who was expelled from the academic world——
Five people walking in this fungus-infested ruins,
And deep underground, a hyphae is unfolding its first tentacles extremely slowly.
Very interesting,
