Ding Junyi looked at the dense fungal network beneath his feet and couldn't help but say, "I recall an experiment that used the splitting fungal network of Physarum polycephalum for designing urban subway networks. This fungal root system acts like a substantial information network that can transmit messages. Now, the whole of Yijin City is covered in it, like what I said..."
"Ah, you mean each of these fungi might be a sensory terminal, like a monster's tentacles, watching us?!!" Luo Yang was the first to react, his expression turning somewhat grim.
"If the mycelium is conscious, yes." Ding Junyi answered calmly.
The words sent chills down everyone's spine instantaneously.
Lu Xingchen impatiently broke a strand of fungal vine with his foot, feeling as though some energy was flowing within it, and grumbled, "I really want to burn it all clean."
