Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 159: Encountering a Team on a Mission
"Are you the captain?" Ye Nai looked at the other person with cold detachment.
"I am, I am the captain."
The captain appeared in his thirties or forties, with white hair at his forehead and wrinkles on his face, which made him look quite old. At this moment, fear filled his eyes.
"I have a question to ask."
"Please do, go ahead, go ahead."
"You rush into someone else’s camp and start shooting without warning, what were you thinking then?"
"No, no thoughts."
"No thoughts and you dare to do it? Being so bold with an out-of-province license plate?"
The captain, tears streaming down his face, kept apologizing.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, forgive me this time, I won’t come again, really, never again."
Ye Nai looked indifferent and got up.
"So easily cowed? Truly boring."
As her voice fell, these people were all taken into the Space, becoming nourishment for the Fungus, advanced Fungus that could even decompose mutant beast bones, so human bones were nothing to it.
Ye Nai looked at the nine cars in front of her, took out a toolbox, and removed each license plate. Then, she let the Fungus that had grown around her search for rat nests, feeding all these metal license plates to the giant rats.
There was no special meaning to it, just using the giant rats’ sharp teeth to gnaw the license plates into pieces.
However, the license number was painted on the back door of the refrigerated truck, and since Ye Nai didn’t have paint to cover it, she had to pretend not to see it. She wasn’t worried; she had ways to safely deal with these cars.
The nine vehicles, of course, became new spoils of war stored in the Space after their personal belongings had been searched.
The pile of personal belongings, such as electronics, was kept, while clothes and snacks were also thrown back into the Space to see how much the Fungus could decompose.
Due to the arrival of enemies from the Otherworld, the offshore oil fields were gone, only a few large oil fields developed inland were preserved, so petroleum products were still available, just not as much as before the war.
Ye Nai didn’t just let the electronics sit; she checked each one for things like storage cards, deleting the contents inside, and then reused the cards. Now that resources were scarce, electronic products were quite expensive.

Working on the computer, Ye Nai listened to the giant rats gnawing on metal license plates a few meters away, skillfully handling the electronics, and after inspecting one, she placed it into a storage box at her feet.
While the iron was hot, she took out previously collected vehicles from the Space, removed their license plates, and gave them to the rats to grind their teeth.
Fearing that the rats might strike from overwork, she kept their energy up with spores, letting them gnaw continuously without food or water.
Several hours later, Ye Nai put away her computer and prepared to sleep. Two of the giant rats couldn’t handle the intense load and, while gnawing, suddenly stretched out their limbs and died.
Ye Nai stored the giant rat corpses in the Space, had the Fungus remove their big teeth, and threw the bodies into Rat Mountain to be sold when leaving the Secret Realm.
With spores and Fungus on guard, Ye Nai slept soundly in her tent. When she came out at dawn, the remaining giant rats from the previous night had all died from exhaustion.
Fortunately, they had finished gnawing the license plates on the ground before they died.
Ye Nai gave a thumbs-up to the rat corpses.
Well done.
She collected the rat corpses, processed them as usual, then washed up, had breakfast, packed up the camp and continued on her journey today.
Guided by the Fungus, Ye Nai headed towards the nearest segment of the highway and ran for three hours until she heard intense gunfire in the direction she was heading.
Not wanting to get involved, she turned the steering wheel to avoid the area ahead.
Before she could turn completely, Ye Nai’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of an SUV flashing by with what seemed to be a military emblem on it, and people firing guns in pursuit behind it.
Ye Nai immediately steered sharply and chased toward the direction where the two SUVs had fled.
Her tractor had a transport model frontline, with speed and even highway eligibility. In this vast plain, as long as she floored the gas pedal, the tractor with its trailer could literally soar.
Not wanting the camel-hump deers to suffer, Ye Nai transferred them into the Space.
The long gun, loaded with a magazine, was placed on her lap.
Spores guided her, charging from the side towards the escaping and chasing SUVs.
As they rounded a clump of trees, she got a clear view, the one in the front was indeed a military SUV marked as such, with a local license plate.
In the blink of an eye, she couldn’t determine which danger zone it belonged to, but since she had encountered them, she naturally had to help out.
Ye Nai immediately inserted herself between them, blocking the pursuing SUV. The window had been rolled down in advance, and she rested the rifle barrel on it, shooting straight at the front windshield of the chasing SUV.
Being higher up in the tractor, Ye Nai shot down from her elevated position, forcing the people in the SUV to crouch under the dashboard, holding their heads.
Ye Nai took the chance to collect both the vehicle and its occupants into the Space.
She didn’t have a gun license, couldn’t legally purchase guns or ammunition, and the bullets she had were spoils of war, acquired through force and limited in number; she had to use them sparingly.
Ignoring the escaped military SUV, Ye Nai continued to follow the guidance of the spores and fungus, turning around and heading towards the intense battle.
Halfway there, she encountered two more SUVs in a chase. This time the roles were reversed, the unmarked SUV led while the military SUV pursued and fired.
Ye Nai drove her tractor straight into the pursuing SUV.
In a collision, those not afraid to die prevail.
The other party was also bewildered, unexpectedly encountering a powerful tractor in the wilderness of the secret realm.
No matter how confident they were in their SUV’s collision safety and protective measures, no one dared to collide with a tractor to test it and swiftly turned the steering wheel to the right to escape.
"Ye Nai!"
Ye Nai was about to chase when she faintly heard a distorted shout coming from behind in the military SUV.
She stuck her head out of the window to see and saw the co-driver from the other vehicle similarly extending half his body out the window, vigorously waving at her.
Ye Nai instantly recognized him as a member of Captain Cao’s team.
She responded by waving her arm, then quickly retracted her head and pulled out her machine gun, firing at the rear wheels of the fleeing SUV.
The escaping SUV, trying to dodge the tractor, took a sharp right turn and just as it stabilized and was about to speed up again, it violently shook.
The rear left tire burst.
Immediately after, the vehicle began swaying from side to side, and the driver, with considerable effort and a red face from straining, tried to stabilize the vehicle.
The speed inevitably slowed down.
Ye Nai put away the gun, steered sharply, floored the gas pedal, and rammed vigorously into it.
The already unstable SUV was knocked over by her impact. It flipped over in the air, landing upside down and came to a halt.
Ye Nai drove closer, using her vehicle’s body as cover, collected the wrecked SUV along with its occupants into the Space, and then turned to head back.
Just then, the car radio cracked to life, emitting a raspy voice panting for air.
"Xiao Yezi, keep up."
Ye Nai didn’t respond. She simply adjusted the direction sharply and caught up with her now distant comrades.
An SUV and a tractor with a trailer, both returned fiercely to the battle scene.
