Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi

"So the Heart Cores used to start the Transmission Platform, they all come from there?"

"Yes, only there the mutant beasts produce Heart Cores in abundance and of good quality. In other places with mutant beasts, the Heart Cores are weak. They can still start the Transmission Platform, but they are only suitable for short distances. For long distances, after a few uses, they run out of energy."

"So, the transmission platform to Yunding Continent is specifically for hunting mutant beasts?"

"Most of the time that's the case. Every time the team comes over, it's a large group of several hundred people, but the frequency is low, only once every few years. However, each visit lasts several months, they won't return until they've had a bountiful hunt."

Ye Nai felt that this time interval made sense. Go on a hunt, come back with full-body injuries, recover from them back on Blue Star, then come back here to hunt again. By Blue Star's count, it would be a few months per trip, but here it turns out to be a few years per trip.

It was all an issue of time difference.

Time differences really are interesting.

"You stand up slowly and take me to see the Transmission Platform."

The deputy commander obediently stood up and found the door locked when he tried to open it. He then gave Ye Nai a surprised look.

"What's the matter? Can't you open it? Where's the key?"

"Key?"

The deputy commander quickly turned around, searched among the people scattered on the ground, found one, and retrieved a set of keys from him. Only then did he open the door and step outside.

Ye Nai had no study of architectural aesthetics, but she could still tell if something was beautiful or not. The Royal Palace was built resplendently and magnificently, filled everywhere with statues and murals, yet uninhabited, kept only with the most basic cleaning staff. It couldn't even maintain an air of lived-in warmth, left to deteriorate idly, truly a waste of money.

The deputy commander, panting, took Ye Nai on a half-hour walk, first from the Political Hall to the outside corridor, then circling from there to the back garden. The garden mainly featured bush landscaping and large stretches of grassland, while the real location of the Transmission Platform was in a concealed small courtyard in a corner of the back garden.

Entering the small courtyard also required a key, but since the commander was neglectful, and to avoid trouble, the key was kept by the deputy commander.

Upon entering the courtyard, they saw three Transmission Platforms arranged in a triangular formation.

"Tell me, which platform corresponds to which destination." Ye Nai took out paper and pen, looking at the deputy commander, "You're a smart man, you should be able to figure out that since I'm standing here, it means your Selsa United Kingdom has been completely defeated in this war. Do you want to die as a soldier, or live as a captured civilian? You choose."

The deputy commander bowed his head deeply, his voice hoarse, "I'll be a civilian."

He then pointed out the locations corresponding to the three Transmission Platforms.

Ye Nai wrote them down on the paper one by one, pasted them onto the Transmission Platforms, and gave the Gold Coin to the deputy commander.

No sooner had the deputy commander secured the Gold Coin on his person than he lost consciousness and slumped to the ground.

The three Transmission Platforms also entered Ye Nai's space, but instead of being consumed, they were just kept there, to be taken out and used when needed.

As for when the three corresponding locations would discover that their paths had been cut, that was no longer Ye Nai's concern.

When she woke up and checked the situation, she knew there was a Transmission Platform in the Royal Palace and that it had already been wrapped up by the Fungal Mycelium. She just didn't know the corresponding locations, which is why she captured people to interrogate, and incidentally, to learn some other information.

She hadn't expected to unearth such significant gains – the nation's upper echelons had all run off to settle on Blue Star.

Ye Nai used instant teleportation to bring the deputy commander back to the Political Hall, returning him to the place where he originally lay. Then she activated the spore map in her brain. In the time she was inquiring within the Royal Palace, the map had gradually expanded with the natural reproduction of the spores, and the Southern City Camp was now inside the new map coverage.

The positions of the Transmission Platforms were even pinpointed by the spores.

Ye Nai used Space Teleportation and landed directly on the ground.

In the military camp, there was also a stationed army, but they were all lying on the tables and floors of the dining hall, struck down by a surprise spore attack while eating lunch.

Finding someone among the soldiers was much easier, and before long, several officers were dragged out and thrown onto the ground outside of the dining hall.

Then she casually woke one of them.

It was the same routine, a gun muzzle against the forehead with her right hand, and a gold coin in her left, the choice was theirs to make.

The chosen officer, seeing his comrades unconscious, decisively chose the gold coin and honestly led Ye Nai to the two Transmission Platforms in the camp.

One led directly to the Royal Capital Camp on Blue Star, while the other connected to the Vice Capital's logistical base.

This logistical base centralized all sorts of civilian and military supplies gathered from across the nation, including supply dispatches for the entire army and even Blue Star, functioning as the main logistics hub.

It was indeed from this Southern City Camp where troops were dispatched annually to the Otherworld, heading directly to the Royal Capital Camp in the new world.

The officer had heard rumors of another Transmission Platform in the Vice Capital that led straight to the Otherworld but had never seen it himself.

Ye Nai believed this rumor to be true, as shorter transport routes for supplies were preferable, a headquarters-to-headquarters connection made sense.

The officer took the gold coin and soon collapsed again, passing out.

Ye Nai secured the two Transmission Platforms, commanding the Space Fungus to devour the one leading to the Vice Capital, and then returned the officers to their original places in the dining hall.

She was confident the bribed officer would play dumb well upon waking up with his comrades, not exposing himself.

Next, of course, she thoroughly plundered the camp, taking away all valuable public and private possessions and weaponry.

Once done, stripping away the Transmission Witch Pattern in the space was completed, Ye Nai opened the Transmission Port, first sending through a massive quantity of spores to clear the area on the other side, then started organizing her space, neatly placing the coins and Heart Cores she had just haphazardly collected into different Fungal Mycelium compartments.

After a few minutes, no enemies had come through from the other side of the Transmission Port. Ye Nai, carrying a light machine gun and constructing a spore defense wall all around her, cautiously stepped through the Transmission Port.

The new location was a spacious field enclosed by tall walls, with the Transmission Platform situated on one side of the field.

A few soldiers who had been on guard lay collapsed at the entrance to the field.

The spore map of the main logistics camp quickly materialized in her mind. Thanks to the ample quantity of spores accumulated in the Royal Capital, there was no need to breed first, but rather to clear the area directly after arrival.

Turning around, apart from the Transmission Platform she came from, there was a row of Transmission Platforms arranged at intervals on both sides, totaling sixteen.

More Transmission Platforms at the main logistics headquarters made sense.

Ye Nai located the area with the most people on the spore map, and with Space Teleportation popped over to see another dining hall.

It was a two-story building, with ordinary soldiers eating downstairs and officers upstairs.

At this moment, they were either collapsed at the dining tables or on the ground, all fallen into a deep sleep.

With the cold weather, everyone was dressed warmly, and it was hard to tell who had more tattoos. Ye Nai selected an older-looking one and woke him up. Faced with the choice between a gun and a gold coin, he decisively chose the gold coin.

With his guidance, Ye Nai promptly found the Supreme Commander of the camp, a Marquis.
