Train Survival: You're really trying to survive!

"Watch your mouth, Bob," Principal Phaidon immediately scolded Bob, who had been becoming increasingly rebellious lately.

"Hmph!" Bob snorted, but obediently shut his mouth.

Su Li gave Sophia a wink, signaling her to be wary of this troublemaker.

He had seen this kind of person before in school. After losing face, they would become emotional and retaliate against the person who damaged their self-esteem without considering the consequences.

It's disgusting. All Su Li wants to do right now is finish this job and leave this group of unreliable adults with the shield and ammunition promised by the principal.

The conflict lasted only a few seconds. Then, the young people around heard footsteps, and their expressions towards Sofia showed a hint of surprise.

The students, well-trained, gathered together in formation, their spears pointed outwards, surrounding the entrance in the middle.

Fortunately, the unloading area of ​​this small warehouse, though not large, is big enough for a car to drive in. The students don't need to guard the vehicles.

The speed of these fungal people was initially equivalent to a human brisk walking, but after a certain distance, they started to run.

Amidst the swirling mist, a mushroom-like figure dressed in a suit, with several mushrooms resembling lingzhi sprouting from his head, rushed out, followed closely by 11 other mushroom-like figures.

Zuli heard one of the students whistle, because among the 11 fungal people, there was a generous lady in a dress with slender branches bearing abundant fruit.

"I feel quite relaxed," Su Li smiled.

According to the agreement, the Bacterial Humans were not required to be involved. What they were supposed to deal with was the large, belatedly arriving mutated Bacterial Human.

In the blink of an eye, the riflemen and the fungus people clashed. Students inside the warehouse fired their guns at the fungus people from the second-floor windows. The shots were aimed at their legs to prevent the fungus people from charging too fast and breaking their formation.

The remaining spearmen worked in pairs, one attacking the chest with a spear while the other attacked the legs. They coordinated to take down the fungus-like creatures, only using their spears to finish them off afterward. They did a good job.

After observing them for a while, Su Li discovered that although these fungal beings had humanoid shapes and looked like zombies, they didn't have the headshot weakness of zombies. This was probably because, according to the lore, these monsters were essentially just humanoid mushrooms.

According to legend, these fungi within the human body replace the brain, driving the nerves to control the body. Therefore, the weakness of these fungal beings is actually the spine. Breaking the spine results in paraplegia, leaving them writhing on the ground.

The students were locked in fierce combat with the fungal beings, and Su Li and her two companions also began their work. With heavy footsteps, a massive creature, 2.5 meters tall, emerged from the mist.

The monster's lower and upper bodies were extremely disproportionate; its lower body resembled that of a normal adult male, while its upper body was covered in muscle-like tissue composed of mycelium and numerous disgusting cysts. As it moved, the cysts would spray out tiny amounts of yellow spores.

The head is also a burst mushroom, seemingly devoid of sight and smell.

It's disgusting.

This person arrived at the battlefield, immediately took a vesicle from his own body, and prepared to throw it over.

With a "bang!", the vesicle in the mutated bacterium's hand was broken, and a cluster of yellow spores spread out.

It's even more disgusting now.

Headmaster Felton put away his revolver, then rubbed his wrist. "I'm getting old, and I can't quite handle this old buddy anymore. It's your turn. When you use fire, be careful not to ignite the spores and hurt yourselves."

Knowing that their mission had come, Su Li and her two companions bypassed the fighting students and charged towards the mutated bacteria-man.

"Don't set it on fire yet, test its quality first," Su Li shouted.

"Understood!" Ivan strode forward, charging to the front lines. He then raised his shield, and a shield cautiously materialized around him.

"No! They are very strong!" the old professor shouted anxiously.

Su Li didn't think much of it. This monster couldn't possibly be a Silver-level being. Judging by its size, it was probably at least Iron-level. And Ivan was a Guardian about to reach Iron-level, equipped with a magic shield; it would be strange if he couldn't withstand it.

The mutant bacteria-man let out a strange roar similar to a water harp, then raised its right hand and smashed it at the reliable minor.

Ivan remembered the force-absorbing techniques his teachers had taught him and blocked the attack head-on.

With a "bang," Ivan took half a step back, and the invisible shield around him flickered. "Brother Su, it's about the same as your normal strength!"

Su Li raised an eyebrow. He was about to enter the Black Iron level as a warrior. His strength, without using skills or magic, was equivalent to that of three strong men.

On the other side, Sofia also raised her rifle and fired at the spine of the mutated bacteria man.

When the bullet hit the mutated bacteria-man, a small crater appeared, and then countless mycelia intertwined and healed the wound.

[Like a bulletproof vest, it's incredibly resistant to tearing and compression. And it can even recover its shape.] Sofia concluded to herself.

Zuli and Ivan dodged past the monster from both sides, avoiding the mutated fungal man's second attack.

Then Su Li also saw the healing wound. [It's not relying on hardness to withstand the damage, but on its structure; then it's not so difficult to hit.]

Su Li spotted the mycelial pattern of the mutated fungal man and slashed through the fungal man's ribs with her two-handed greatsword.

The sharp blade, like a comb, easily penetrated the mycelium, cutting through the flesh of the mutated fungal man. However, once it separated a portion, it felt a stiffness in its hand.

Su Li sensed the difference in feel and, on a sudden inspiration, slightly adjusted the blade.

When wielding a sword, the emphasis is on the unity of man and sword. Leaving aside mystical interpretations, the most basic unity is simply that the direction of the force exerted by the user aligns with the direction of the blade. Anyone who has used a sword knows that if the force exerted is not aligned with the blade's direction, cutting becomes extremely difficult; this is also known as misalignment of the blade's tendons.

Midway through the cutting process, Su Li sensed something and adjusted the blade. Logically, with the blade's tendons not aligned, it should have been more difficult to work with. However, the blade felt even smoother.

The two separated immediately upon contact. Su Li turned around and saw a deep wound on the ribs of the mutated fungus man. Inside the wound, countless hyphae were repairing it.

Su Li immediately recognized the distribution of hyphae inside. The hyphae inside were generally vertical, while those on the outer surface were mostly oblique and net-like.

Su Li loosened his grip on the sword for a moment, then tightened it again. He felt as if he had suddenly had a brilliant idea and executed a move he had only ever seen in highlight reels, his mind filled with the aftertaste of that play.

"Don't do it, let me handle this!" Su Li shouted to Ivan. Then she lunged forward and launched an attack.

Ivan noticed that Zuli was in excellent form. So he cautiously stepped back to protect his older brother. Sofia maintained her gun-raising stance while sensing the surrounding sounds to determine if reinforcements were coming.

Su Li was surprisingly agile, unlike a typical swordsman. She moved around the mutant bacteria man repeatedly, attacking and replaying the feeling she had just experienced. The poor mutant bacteria man was being toyed with.

Finally, when Su Li felt it was about time, she stepped back and said, "Fire attack, let's see the effect."

Sophia Adam immediately took out the resin, lit it, and threw it onto the mutant bacteria man. In an instant, the spores spreading across the mutant bacteria man's body were ignited.

Subsequently, the bacterial armor on the mutated bacterial man began to slowly melt, and the ignited bacterial man also went berserk, relentlessly pursuing and attacking Su Li.

Su Li dodged the attack with a quick movement, and then unleashed a magic slash imbued with magical energy, severing the fungus man's spine.

The fungus-like creature lost its ability to run and crawled on the ground for a while, leaving a trail of flames behind it.

Finally, the mutated bacterium turned into a lump of black charcoal. A few seconds later, the charcoal, along with the spores it left behind, turned into a black liquid and disappeared.

Under the awe-inspiring gazes of the young man, Su Li leaned on his sword with one hand, seemingly sensing something, and pretended to take out his manual from his pocket.

In the manual, on my own properties interface, there is a [???] flashing.
