Little Mushroom

Decades have passed since the Earth's magnetic poles disappeared, changing the balance forever. As the last remnants of humanity huddle in their bases, the remaining lifeforms have mutated into so-called xenogens and taken over the outside world. In the midst of this war for life or death, a sentient mushroom lived his little life in the forest. That is, until humans came and took something precious from him — his spore. With his life's purpose gone, the young xenogen is ready to risk his life to reclaim it. So, donning a dead boy's face and calling himself An Zhe, the little mushroom makes an attempt to infiltrate a human base. To get inside, he must first get past the Supreme Judge Lu Feng, whose job it is to detect and kill any mutants who try to sneak through the gate. It is said that nothing can escape his cold sight, which is now locked on An Zhe... (Source: Aloha Comics) Note: Silver Award winner at the 12th Chinese Nebula Awards for Chinese Science Fiction.
