66, Chapter 66(1/2)
Finally he saw Lu Feng's face. He had never seen such a confused look on the colonel's face. He wanted to say something, but he couldn't say anything——
There was darkness before his eyes, and his body was a hollow.
Gently, something broke inside his body.
——It hurts so much.
Then comes the second one.
He tried hard to understand what was happening. Finally, his consciousness seemed to become a point of light in the void, and he finally saw what was happening.
The slender, snow-white one gradually stretched to the point where it was almost transparent, and it was frail to the point of thrilling.
Snap.
With a stinging pain, it broke.
His spores.
The hyphae from his body are connected to each hyphae of the spores. Now the hyphae are breaking one by one. It is not him who loosened them, but the spores leaving on their own initiative - no, it is not.
It is time for maturity to come, and the power from the instinct of life separates them.
An Zhe could do nothing to stop him. It was hard to say that there was any deep emotion between a mushroom and its spores. Their relationship was not like that of human parents and children, but he still didn't want the spores to leave him so soon. There was still so much love outside.
Danger, if the spores leave him, he will die young no matter what he encounters - especially Lu Feng.
But he lost all his senses and couldn't say anything. He could only speak desperately to the spores in his heart.
Don't come out.
Don't come out.
When there were only three remaining hyphae, the fear of death reached its peak.
Don't come out - please.
He was sweating heavily and opened his eyes suddenly.
With the ceiling in front of him, he blinked slowly, and then suddenly trembled at the next moment.
——Still.
He could still feel the spores in his body, and three hyphae were holding it precariously. Fortunately, it looked calm and obedient, as if it had finally decided to obey his request.
The next moment, the doctor's voice came to his ears. At first, he thought he was back at the base, but then he realized that it was the voice of the communicator.
After correcting the distorted copper wire, Lu Feng indeed contacted the base. Although this was wrong, he felt lost at that moment.
"...I tell you for sure that mankind is about to finish." The doctor's pessimistic remarks came from the communicator. An Zhe moved and found himself lying in Lu Feng's arms, with his coat wrapped around him. Lu Feng saw
He woke up.
He seemed to want to say something, but An Zhe used his eyes to tell him to concentrate on continuing the call, and then weakly pressed his forehead against his chest.
"This is not a predictable disaster at all. This is a mass extinction. I can tell you, a mass extinction of all living things, all non-living things, and all physical laws in the entire world."
Lu Feng: "I saw the fusion of matter."
"It's not called fusion. Our latest definition is distortion, which is the overall distortion at the microscopic level. Did you know that a silicon atom turns into something under the microscope? It turns into something we don't know. It's not a gene at all.
Pollution is a change at the quantum level, something we can never observe. According to the uncertainty principle, we cannot overcome it, and we will never be able to overcome it. If technology advances for ten thousand years, we can only accept death." The doctor said: "I...
I... we only know so far that the magnetic field can protect the earth from this change. After the two bases increased the strength of the magnetic field, the distortion temporarily stopped. But you know, the situation is always getting worse."
It was as if he was nervous and kept chattering: "In the past, only serious injuries would lead to infection, then minor injuries would also lead to infection, then just touching would lead to infection, and finally no contact would lead to infection. I thought this was a worse situation, but it turned out
What? The basic structure of this world is in chaos, and this is obviously a gradually intensifying process. The world is getting more and more chaotic. Now our magnetic field can temporarily block it, and then what? What about when the highest intensity of the artificial magnetic field cannot withstand it?
The maximum strength of our magnetic field is level 9, and now it is level 7, which is almost over. Tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or at the latest half a year, our artificial magnetic poles will be broken due to distortion."
"The base hopes you can come back, but in fact, if you want to find a place to spend the rest of your life, I will never stop you." He said: "It's almost over."
Lu Feng said: "I understand."
"If you don't find An Zhe, there's no need to look for him. Let him go, let yourself go, and live well. He's going to die anyway." The doctor said, "If you bring the sample back, we won't be able to get any results.
This is not something that science can do - although the base still wants to fight for its last glimmer of hope."
After a pause, the doctor continued: "I collapsed. I'm sorry, I was infected by the base's current pessimism. Don't listen to a word I said. The sample must be taken back. Since that sample is inert to infection,
Perhaps it is also inert in terms of distortion. This is the last breakthrough, the last hope, either you die outside or bring it back. But based on An Zhe's sudden disappearance in the end, he may be a very terrifying alien species.
You have to be careful."
The doctor's self-defeating tone and miscalculation of his strength made An Zhe curl his lips, but realizing the meaning of his words, he understood that the base was still obsessed with his spores.
"Have a good rest." Lu Feng said, "I have sent the coordinates to the United Front Center."
Communication hung up.
Lu Feng looked at An Zhe.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
"It's okay." An Zhe said.
Lu Feng said: "What happened just now?"
An Zhe shook his head.
"You don't know either?"
An Zhe whispered: "No."
He said: "I can't tell you."
He suddenly noticed that Lu Feng's eyes were so cold that he was frightened.
"Hmm." Lu Feng gently smoothed his hair with her fingers and said in a light voice, "So you can't tell me the sample."
Anzhe lowered his head. He had nothing to say about the spores. It was like this in the past and it is like this now.
In this world, peaceful time is nothing. Like the end of a dream, he and Lu Feng finally returned to a few days ago.
Judges and aliens, pursuers and defectors. He will not hand over the spores, and Lu Feng will not let him go.
He didn't want to look into Lu Feng's eyes, so he could only change the subject: "Is the base in a bad situation now?"
"Um."
"Then do you want to go back?"
"Go back." Lu Feng said.
"But the doctor said... there is no hope." He whispered.
Then he realized the stupidity of his words. Even if the base was about to be destroyed, there was no way Lu Feng would not go back.
After a long silence, Lu Feng said: "At least stay with the base until the end."
An Zhe pursed his lips. Lu Feng belonged to the base just as he belonged to the abyss. They could not coexist peacefully. Lu Feng had already sent the coordinates to the United Front Center. He refused to tell the whereabouts of the spores. He could not imagine what he would encounter next.
What.
He looked at Lu Feng. In the rain curtain outside, the light was dim. He couldn't see Lu Feng clearly, and he couldn't understand Lu Feng.
When the changes in the world are getting more and more crazy, and even the doctor said, "Humanity is going to be over." He doesn't know what Lu Feng will be thinking in the last moments before humankind's demise.
"I sometimes feel that if the base is destined to perish in my lifetime," Lu Feng's voice was low: "All the things I have done before..."
He stopped and did not continue speaking. The emotional fluctuations were like ripples on the water, which soon became frozen.
"There might be a miracle." An Zhe could only say these words softly. This was the only thing he could think of that might comfort Lu Feng.
Lu Feng looked down at him: "Do you think it's possible?"
"Yes. It's like... it's like the world is very big, but when your plane had an accident, it fell next to me." An Zhe said: "If it hadn't been like this, you would have died."
If Lu Feng dies, he will not have the comfort of being in a human city again at this moment, and everything will change.
But he saw that Lu Feng was just looking at him, and he was lying in his arms. Lu Feng was looking at him so condescendingly, with only a cold chill in those green eyes without temperature: "Do you know how big the world is?
What?"
An Zhe recalled that in his limited memory, he had not walked many roads or seen many things. He was just an inert mushroom. But the world must be very big, so Lu Feng's plane fell from the sky and landed on the ground.
In front of him, it can be called a miracle.
So he nodded slowly.
He wanted to make Lu Feng happy, but Lu Feng was so scary now - looking at Lu Feng's expressionless profile, An Zhe couldn't help but flinch.
"You don't know." Lu Feng said in a cold voice, "I can't happen to fall in front of you. The reason why it happened is because I came to catch you."
"No." An Zhe couldn't stand the look in his eyes. He wanted to leave, but was held tightly in Lu Feng's arms. His voice became hoarse: "There were a lot of planes that day. You were going... to kill the bees.
You accidentally... unexpectedly met me, and that's why you wanted to arrest me."
"Already killed." Lu Feng's voice fell calmly.
An Zhe opened his eyes wide.
He trembled: "...Who?"
