On the dark and humid island, it started to rain lightly. Under the firelight, the two mushrooms stained with human blood were still squirming slowly, looking for parasites.
Zhang Ming stared at his attribute panel and kept using the "Venom Resistance" ability.
Recalling the scene I saw in the valley, the colonies of bacteria blooming all over the mountains and plains were like flowers from the other side, but also like a silent hell.
"I may have inadvertently inhaled some fungal spores at that moment and became parasitized."
"If I don't have toxin resistance, I might be finished soon...just like the local indigenous people."
"The poison of this spore is so powerful that it took away a year of my life in just half a day."
"The local indigenous people, the indigenous people are most likely... gone."
At this moment, Zhang Ming became angry.
We have always just increased our attributes, but this time we were actually taken away by a parasitic mushroom!
Thinking of the lost 1 point of life is as heartbreaking as Grandet losing a sack of money, and the whole person's mood is not good.
"Toxin Resistance" causes heat to circulate continuously in the body, and there is no more discovery.
But Zhang Ming still couldn't help but feel anxious. The mushroom that had wiped out a civilization was beating around his feet like a leech. How could he not be anxious? He knew the source of his anxiety. If he was active on this island for a long time, he would inevitably be parasitized by spores. Who could bear it if his life span dropped every now and then.
The dancing fireworks illuminated the ground, his face turned red, and while he was restless, a bold idea came out of his heart.
"What will happen if I roast these mushrooms and eat them?"
"Since it grows in my lungs and coexists with me, it should not be fatally toxic, otherwise I would have been poisoned to death."
"You might as well eat it! It's all protein anyway, and you might be able to regain some of your lifespan."
"Even if it's poisonous, it can resist removal with toxins."
"If a person dies, he will look up to the sky, but he will not die for tens of millions of years!"
Thinking of this, Zhang Ming became increasingly restless and eager to try.
The unknown is the scariest thing.
But as long as the parasitic mushrooms are edible, the unknown is transformed into the known.
He took a deep breath, took a branch, picked up the wriggling mushrooms on the ground, and grilled them on the flame.
Under the burning of the flame, the mushroom soon trembled a few times and stopped squirming.
Cut it into pieces with a knife and grill for a while.
Bite the bullet and stuff the strange coke into your mouth. It tastes like enoki mushrooms?
Apart from a slight smell of blood, it actually tastes pretty good...
After chewing it twice and swallowing it directly, a strong warm current came from my stomach!
Before he could be happy, severe pain erupted from his body. Zhang Ming felt like he had eaten a high-explosive bomb. His whole stomach was turned upside down and his internal organs were completely blown through!
Bean-sized sweat dripped from his forehead. This was not toxin, but a special "spirit" pouring into his body.
This wave of pain lasted for half an hour. Zhang Ming was sweating profusely and opened his eyes.
I was surprised to find that my [Perception] attribute increased a bit.
"Is this only half a mushroom?"
Although the process of increasing is painful, the joy of becoming stronger is unstoppable.
Grilled a little bit, chicken flavor, crunchy.
Roasted tender, the protein is six times that of beef.
"Come again!"
"No one can take away my attributes!"
After spending more than three hours eating these two parasitic mushrooms, my [Perception] attribute increased by four points!
Zhang Ming himself was sweating profusely, as if he had been fished out of water, and his clothes were completely soaked with sweat.
My mind was in turmoil, as if there were countless ants crawling around inside, and I felt an excruciating pain.
"These mushrooms still have some side effects, and resistance to toxins is not omnipotent..."
"It's just that these two mushrooms are parasitic from my body, which is equivalent to me eating myself, so the side effects are barely bearable..."
Zhang Ming always felt that he had discovered a bug and became a perpetual motion machine.
"But no matter what, I still made money. My perception increased by 4 points, my life span decreased by 1 point, and I made a net profit of 3 points!"
"Today, there are many twists and turns, and a huge harvest!"
Zhang Ming lay on the chair and looked at the light rain in the sky.
He is not afraid of a reduction in his lifespan, because he can increase his lifespan back through attribute transfer.
In fact, the next attribute points are already available!

…
Earth.
Near the mysterious area, the ocean survey fleet.
"About 313 of the 3,000-person team that entered the mysterious zone fell into a coma. The symptoms generally include irregular heartbeat, high fever, palpitations, cold sweats, vomiting and diarrhea. The specific cause cannot be identified. Under normal circumstances, these people will Wake up within one to two days, and have a higher probability of gaining a superpower."
"This is almost consistent with the data provided by the Americans."
In the special affairs department, Li Xianfeng lay on the hospital bed and listened to expert reports.
After a boatload of people returned from the mysterious zone, almost 10% of the population was unconscious, including himself.
This coma lasted for about two days and two nights before the situation improved.
"How is the data monitored by the satellite? Have you analyzed anything?" Li Xianfeng took a sip of warm water on the bedside table and said a little tiredly, "Have you found the island where Zhang Ming is located?"
"Several important experts have passed out. In addition, the computer on the ship is not a supercomputer and has limited computing power, so the progress of data analysis is relatively slow."
"But... there is a high probability that the island where Zhang Ming is located will not be found."
Li Xianfeng asked: "Since he couldn't find the island, how did he hear the satellite broadcast?"
Everyone fell silent.
Theoretically, the sky above the earth and the sky above the mysterious zone are two different parallel worlds, but Zhang Ming's radio can actually hear the earth's broadcasts?
It makes the experts a little doubtful about life.
Li Xianfeng smiled bitterly and said: "Well, maybe his radio is a strange object. Since there are supernatural objects on the earth, there should be some in the mysterious area."
"It is possible. By the way, have you awakened any superpowers? As usual, this information needs to be registered in the database."
"I..." Li Xianfeng was silent for a few seconds and frowned, "I feel that the whole world has become a little different. I can see things far away, and my sense of smell and hearing have also been strengthened. This is... …”
"Supersensory person?" The little girl in charge of registration smiled, but she was not too surprised.
Physical abilities are the largest in number, and the number of supersensory beings is quite high.
"The biggest advantage is that you no longer need to wear glasses, you won't suffer from aging eyes or myopia, and you only need 4 hours of sleep every day... Here, I need to test your vision, smell and hearing."
The test results came out quickly. Li Xianfeng's perception ability was indeed several levels higher than that of ordinary humans.
But among the supersensory community, it is only a common level.
"Then, please have a good rest and we won't disturb you."
After the door to the infirmary was closed, the room fell into silence.
Li Xianfeng looked at the ceiling above his head and sighed slightly.
He hid the ability he had gained.
On the surface, he is an ordinary "supersensory person", but in fact he has other abilities.
Moreover, this ability was very strange, so strange that it made him subconsciously choose to lie.
