The lunch meal turned out to be mushroom soup.

Xibei said that he grew it himself in the mine and it was clean. The mushrooms grow quickly and there is enough left to eat for several days.

An Zhe silently shrank into the corner after hearing this. Xibei looked so gentle and friendly, but he didn't expect that he was also a murderer of mushrooms.

But he had to become an accomplice in eating mushrooms.

Before starting to eat, he noticed that Lu Feng glanced at him lightly. Anzhe thought that the colonel must have remembered the bowl of mushroom soup he failed to drink before leaving the base. This seemed to be a regret, and humans did not like to have

It’s a pity. I ate it today, which makes up for it.

After the meal, Xibei showed them the food reserves, which were not much, including some mushrooms, a few dried meat strips, and a packet of salt.

"The meat was saved in the past," Xibei said. "The traps can catch some little monsters. They say if you eat the ones that look too weird, you will get infected. Only the ones that are not too weird and look like animals from the past can be eaten."

Lu Feng said: "Low-mutated monsters can be eaten 24 hours after death."

"Then uncles have concluded correctly," Xibei said.

Lu Feng asked him: "What monster is here?"

"There are birds, a lot of lizards, and big rats," Xibei said. "Sometimes there are bugs, like spiders, and we eat more rats."

"But after the sandstorm, I rarely see them. I saw two very ugly things." At this point, Xibei's face turned slightly pale: "They were very big. I was afraid that they would find me, so I only took a look with a telescope. I had never seen them before.

I’ve never seen anything like this, do you know what it is?”

"This should be the eastern hills. Originally, the pollution level was not high." Lu Feng said, "But there was an accident in the magnetic field in the past five days, which caused secondary mutations and hybrid monsters appeared."

Xibei: "...ah?"

Lu Feng's voice was deep: "The original small monsters aggregated into large hybrid monsters through the food chain."

Xibei's face turned a little paler.

After An Zhe listened to Lu Jie's words, it was conceivable that the monsters were killing and devouring each other. The number had become smaller, but the level of mutation had greatly increased. Perhaps the more terrifying thing is that the same thing is happening everywhere on the earth, every day.

Even more chaotic than yesterday.

The communication was still unavailable, but the colonel still performed his duties. In the afternoon, Lu Feng borrowed paper and pen from Xibei and briefly recorded the situation here.

It was rest time at night. There was only one generator in the entire mine that was still working, and the wiring was damp and aging. There was only one empty room in the entire mine with electricity, and the two of them lived here.

After Anzhe took a shower, he dried his hair and leaned against the bedside to play with magnets. In this mine, magnets can be seen everywhere.

He held one piece in one hand and put the two poles of the magnet together, trying to press them together. There was obviously only air between the two black magnets, but no matter how hard he tried, he could not make them move.

Approaching, it seems as if there is an invisible force pushing them away.

He frowned and didn't know why this was happening. He couldn't understand a lot of human knowledge, just like a lot of knowledge in this world, humans couldn't understand either. But he still stubbornly wanted to put them together. He felt that as long as he had enough

With great power, nothing can't come close.

With the sound of footsteps, Lu Feng entered the room. His coat had been washed off by An Zhe and was now hanging in a ventilated place. An Zhe raised his head and saw that the colonel was only wearing a military-style black vest on his upper body, with graceful and smooth muscle lines on his shoulders and arms.

It was exposed, and the trousers of the combat uniform were tucked into black boots, making his figure even more upright and beautiful. His hair was simply brushed, slightly messy, and the broken hair on his forehead was dotted with sparkling water drops.

An Zhe looked at him. Without the uniform of the judge and the badge, Lu Feng seemed to be just a young officer with a promising future and power. Even though his eyebrows and eyes were still as cold as before, the temperature of his cold green eyes was not the same.

There was no real recovery, but An Zhe felt that he seemed to be much more relaxed. He suddenly remembered that according to the counting method of human age, the age of twenty was obviously the age when everything just started.

Someone in his twenties was lowering his head and fiddling with the communicator, but the communicator just replayed "Sorry, due to the influence of solar wind or ionosphere..." over and over again.

Turning off the communicator and placing it on the table, Lu Feng sat down next to An Zhe.

An Zhe couldn't put the same poles of the two magnets together no matter what. He looked at Lu Feng.

"Repelling each other." Lu Feng said calmly.

An Zhe frowned.

Lu Feng took the two magnets out of his hand. They were attracted by opposite poles and changed directions. The two magnets quickly joined together tightly and were then thrown aside by Lu Feng.

An Zhe asked: "What's among them?"

He is a mushroom, Anze has never taken a physics class, and their combined knowledge cannot explain this phenomenon.

Lu Feng said: "Magnetic field."

An Zhe: "Is it the same as an artificial magnetic field?"

"Yeah." Lu Feng said.

An Zhe said: "Can't you see?"

"Can't see."

"Why can't you see it?"

Lu Feng tucked him into the quilt: "I can't see many things."

An Zhe said "Oh", it was a little hot under the quilt, and he exposed his arms and shoulders again.

An Zhe looked at the collar of his soft white T-shirt, where a blue bruise was exposed, and he stretched out his hand to pull the collar down.

The originally smooth and flawless milk-white skin exposed from the collar was covered with bruises and bruises, which were very even and so even that the source could not be found.

An Zhe said nothing, opened his hand, and silently pulled the collar back.

But Lu Feng's eyes still stayed there. Of course he recognized this trace. When the base treats felons who need to be tortured to extract confessions, they will use high-intensity electrocution. No one can refuse to confess. The sequelae left by electrocution are diverse, ranging from physical

Psychologically. The marks on the skin are just one of them. More people cannot get rid of this painful nightmare throughout their lives.

But after An Zhe wrapped the quilt tightly, he just lowered his eyelashes slightly and said calmly: "It doesn't hurt now."

Lu Feng looked at his quiet expression. Sometimes he wanted to bully him, and sometimes he wanted to treat him well.

He saw Anzhe squirming into the bed, making room for him to lie down.

The bed was not big. After Lu Feng lay down on his side, they were very close. An Zhe also saw a scar on his arm that looked like he had been hit by a blunt object. That was not all. There were also faint hidden wounds or scratches on his shoulders.

.

He stretched out his hand to touch the longest one, but when he got halfway, he was afraid of hurting the colonel, so he took it back and huddled under the quilt.

The colonel's eyes seemed gentle: "Go to sleep."

An Zhe said "hmm" and closed his eyes.

The eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the light, making his expression appear softer and quieter. His whole body was relaxed, and Lu Feng could easily recognize this. This little alien seemed to be sure that he would not hurt him - even if

After his body was covered with scars from electric torture.

This is not the first time that I feel puzzled by his behavior. When they first met, on that disorderly night when he left the city gate and had nowhere to go, Anzhe also said to him unpreparedly, "You

You can stay with me - at that time, he felt that this boy had ulterior motives, or that he was as innocent as his appearance, as if he didn't know that people didn't often invite strangers to stay overnight.

He thought this way and asked this question.

"...Aren't you afraid of me?"

When he asked, An Zhe slowly opened his eyes. Under the dim light of the gas lamp, his eyes seemed to be covered with a soft and beautiful mist.

In such a short period of time, he seemed to be about to fall asleep, and said in a muffled voice: "What are you afraid of?"

Lu Feng didn't say anything. He raised his upper body and looked down at An Zhe with a heavy gaze. He picked up the gun placed next to his pillow with his other hand and touched An Zhe's cheek with the cold barrel.

An Zhe glanced at him with clear eyes and frowned slightly. He seemed to be angry again. He stretched out his hand to push the gun barrel and turned around - this action also pulled the quilt away.

Lu Feng looked at his slender neck, his thin shoulders, and his shoulders that rose and fell slightly with his breathing. After a long time, he turned off the light and lay down again.

Lu Feng sank slightly, and An Zhe pulled the part of the quilt that had been taken away back to him.

——Like a dragonfly tapping the calm water waves.

In the silence, it was unclear whether he was driven by any emotion or just a subconscious action. Lu Feng hugged An Zhe from behind. His arm pressed against An Zhe's arm, and An Zhe moved slightly.

For a moment, he first planned to put his arm down, but in the end he had nowhere to place it, so he moved up a little, and put his fingers on Lu Feng's forearm, just like he used to wrap the mycelium around the stone or tree trunk next to it.

Lu Feng felt his movements.

An Zhe's voice sounded very soft: "Aren't you afraid that I will infect you?"

Lu Feng didn't answer An Zhe, just as An Zhe didn't answer him just now.

It’s hard to say which one is more absurd, the judge believing in an alien species, or the alien species believing in a judge - no matter what the reason. Perhaps the day they met was the beginning of the most absurd story in the world.

But in the darkness, no one could see anyone's face clearly. In this isolated place, at this unknown moment, it seemed that it didn't matter what you did. Everything was forgotten and everything was acquiesced.

Listening to An Zhe's gentle breathing, Lu Feng closed his eyes.

The author has something to say: I’ll try to see if I can add more updates at night.
