In the car.

Li Qing and others were shocked to find that they had already entered a hell on earth.

Light green fluff spread all over the place, scarlet body fluids flowed all over the ground, screams and moans were heard, mixed with many heartbreaking sobs.

"These guys" Bugalati's pupils ignited.

"It's true" Giorno's blonde hair is windless automatically.

"Angered" Apaki and Nalanga's faces were as gloomy as ink.

"It's my turn!" Even the cowardly Fuge and the tenderest Misda couldn't help but let out an angry roar.

To them, Naples is home.

They are very familiar with every street here, and every corner has their past memories.

And now, this hometown, which is famous for its beauty, has been ravaged into this way.

"We must kill them!"

Everyone reached a consensus.

"Li Qing."

Everyone turned their attention to the humanoid radar in the team: "Please find out the whereabouts of the enemy as soon as possible."

"must."

Li Qing was also angry at this inhumane scene.

He closed his eyes tightly, focused his attention, and perceived all the sounds around him.

During this short search, Gioruno and others also seized the time to study the characteristics of those killing fungi:

"The real fungus should be transmitted through the air and can absorb the nutrients of flesh and blood and proliferate and expand rapidly."

"Damn it"

Fuge endured the pain of being eaten by fungi on his feet, gritted his teeth and said:

"This is not something that will be found in nature, but the enemy's substitute ability."

"If we don't find the enemy's body quickly, we may have eaten up the fungus before killing him!"

"That's right."

Giorno nodded, but quickly found a place that everyone ignored:

"But, have you noticed it?"

"The fungal flora in a few of us proliferates slowly than the fungi in Faugh?"

"Fuge's feet were gnawed out in a few seconds, but the bacteria on us were still only that small piece of the bacteria."

"And the pedestrians on the road just now"

"I saw an uncle who was almost intact in the car, but he just got out of the car and walked a few steps before his legs were chewed."

"The rate of fungi proliferation can vary so much. Why is that?"

"why is that?"

Everyone fell into deep thought, and no one could answer this question.

Giorno's mind flashed with inspiration and immediately said to Fuge: "Fuge, raise your feet slightly and take a look."

"Um?"

Fuge was puzzled, but he still raised his feet, which were almost chewed by fungi, as Giorno told him.

Just lifted up a little

The light green bacteria blanket that grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye stopped expanding.

"why is that?"

Fuge's eyes widened.

He was puzzled, but Giorno pressed his knees again and pressed the raised legs down.

"Ahhhh!"

Fuge let out a harsh scream.

Although the pain becomes extremely dull due to the effects of fungal erosion, you can see it with your eyes:

His legs just put them down slightly, and the green bacteria blankets that were originally entrenched on their ankles quickly spread to his calves like a gushing tide.

In just a moment, his calf was almost gone by the fungi.

"It's true"

After doing some small experiments with Fog's legs, Giorno came up with the answer.

He ignored Fuge's resentful gaze, but said calmly:

"These fungi can sense the "high and low" of their location."

“I’ve seen it in a miscellaneous book.”

"There are some fungi that have always wanted to move to the "lower", but they have no way to walk on their own."

"So, they will first parasitize into the insect body. When the insect moves to the "lower", the fungus will begin to proliferate and reproduce and kill the host!"

"That's how Cordyceps sinensis was born."

"The reason why Fuge was gnawed off his feet so quickly was actually because he was moving his limbs up and down at that time, which activated the fungus' reproduction ability."

"I see."

After saying this, Fuge, as a top student, immediately reacted:

"There is such a habit that the host will only die after moving to the "lower".

"It is through this that fungi ride on the moving host and continuously expand the infection range further away."

A disease that causes death in a short period of time will not become a contagious disease.

And those viruses with incubation periods are the demons that are truly unstoppable to humans.

At this moment, this carnivorous fungus that spreads in the city is a killer who knows how to lurk like this.

"But it only has instinct after all."

"As long as we ensure that we do not forget to walk "lower" and go "higher", we can stop the reproduction of fungi and slow down their erosion of the body."

Fuge tried his best to lift his legs while explaining.

After lifting his legs higher, the carnivorous fungi did stop quickly.

And at this time

Li Qing suddenly opened his eyes and gave the information everyone wanted:

"Finally found!"

"I just felt the sounds of several kilometers nearby."

"Although the sounds in the distance are difficult to distinguish clearly, you can understand them from the location distribution of the screams."

"The infection range of this fungus is as big as two or three kilometers!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but clench his fists:

"And there are constant screams in the inner and outer circles of the death circle with a diameter of several kilometers, indicating that those people have just been infected and have not finished their death."

"But in that inner circle, there was no sound at all."

"The people there have been killed by fungi, without screaming or wailing, as quiet as late as the night."

This fungal outbreak was obviously spreading with the enemy's substitute messenger as the center.

That is to say

The center of the circle of death is where the enemy is.

"There are no living people in the inner circle of that 'center'."

"But I heard a voice in that dead Jedi"

Li Qing stretched out his hand and pointed at a small black dot in the distant sky:

"That's a helicopter."

"Our enemy is on that helicopter!"

Everyone turned their eyes to the distant sky.

In the burning rage, Misda stepped on the accelerator hard.

"etc."

"Don't drive on the flat ground."
