Armored vehicle.

"Congratulations on coming back. We will return to the base in 15 hours' drive."

Lu Feng said: "How is the base?"

"The distortion caused widespread panic and chaos, and some precision instruments became unusable. Fortunately, the artificial magnetic poles can operate normally."

"Does the distortion occur when the magnetic poles fail?"

"yes."

Lu Feng said: "I have been living with the survivors in a magnetite mine these days, and there is no distortion there."

"Because of the magnetic field, the magnetic field can resist distortion to a certain extent." The doctor said: "At that time, the lighthouse was in chaos. We exchanged all the research results over the years with the underground city base with the last glimmer of hope, but got nothing. Everything about them

Research is also based on biological genes."

"Then, I again violated the rules and accessed the communication channel with the institute."

Lu Feng raised his eyebrows slightly.

"After joint discussion and combining some clues, such as the time when the distortion occurred, we thought that it might be related to the magnetic field, so we temporarily increased the strength of the artificial magnetic pole." The doctor said: "It worked for the time being, and we bought a little bit of time to survive.

."

The doctor leaned on the seat in the car: "But according to predictions, the distortion will gradually increase and then defeat us within three months."

After a pause, he looked at the gray foggy sky in the distance and the brown flying eagles hovering in the sky. He said: "However, knowing that all the efforts humans have made for survival from ancient times to the present are in vain, becoming a human being is completely

Being a witness to the event of destruction is actually an unimaginable honor."

He looked back at Lu Feng: "To be honest, you are a little calmer than I thought."

"Why, was it hit?" He added: "I don't know what kind of species An Zhe is. It's so slippery that it can even escape from such a tight defense in the base. It's normal that it can't be caught. Even if it is caught,

I can’t keep it, so don’t take it too seriously.”

Lu Feng said nothing.

He extended his hand.

A small soft snow-white thing rolled out from his sleeve, and the soft white mycelium wrapped around his fingers affectionately.

He looked at it.

Strangely, a soft thought filled his heart. He seemed to have returned to some moments, and An Zhe leaned quietly against his chest.

Those turned out to be the most memorable days in his life.

The doctor was stunned: "You got it back? You could actually get it back?"

Lu Feng: "Yeah."

"What about An Zhe?" The doctor asked very quickly, "Did you kill him?"

Spore seemed to be frightened by the man's suddenly louder voice, so it shrank and got back into Lu Feng's sleeve.

But after a while, it appeared on his collar again and rubbed his neck affectionately.

Lu Feng said calmly: "He left."

"Why are you willing to let him go? Who is he?" The doctor opened his eyes wide and said, "He...can he protect himself?"

Lu Feng touched the soft hyphae of the spores with his fingers and did not answer. Under the dim skylight, his side face was a silent silhouette.

The doctor looked at him, but suddenly frowned: "Where is your gun?"

Roof.

Watching the convoy disappear into the distant sky, An Zhe moved his stiff body and stood up from behind the flower bed. Yesterday's heavy rain filled the bed with water. At this time, some thin and strip-like creatures were twisting in the water.

Born yesterday.

But when the weather clears up, the water will soon dry up, and after a brief rebirth, they will face eternal death.

All living things are like this.

Will his spores outlive these ephemeral creatures? He hopes so.

An Zhe waited patiently for the opportunity. When the flying eagle landed and perched on the ground, he climbed on its back - the flying eagle ignored him, maybe because he was too light and too lacking in nutrition. An Zhe sat on its spacious back

I found a place to stay on the ground. What really covered the eagle's body was not feathers but scales. Some intertwined translucent tentacles grew between the scales. The eagle was looking for food everywhere in the city.

It swallowed a vine with a texture similar to meat, and after fighting a huge monster with bat wings for half an hour, it lost and left the place.

An Zhe marked the direction of its flight against the North Star and the map. After discovering that the trajectory had deviated, he quietly slipped away. After taking root in the soil and absorbing nutrients for a night, he hesitated for a long time and took out a pitch-black gun and a gun from his backpack.

A dozen rounds of ammunition.

The gun belonged to Lu Feng, but he found it in his backpack after Lu Feng left. The colonel often used his belongings, including his backpack, for granted, and An Zhe guessed that this caused him to leave the gun behind.

He successfully used the sound of gunfire to attract a monster with butterfly wings as a means of transportation.

Three days later, he landed again. While looking for the next ride target, Anzhe encountered an extremely ugly monster with a centipede-like body. This monster had many characteristics of ant-like arthropod monsters. It used mushrooms as its

Food. An Zhe wanted to escape, but his health was already very bad. When he was almost completely eaten, Lu Feng's gun protected him. He accidentally hit the monster's soft belly and took advantage of its brief pause.

When he was young, he rolled into a turbid stream and escaped.

When the weather gets cold, the animals that are afraid of the cold begin to move south. Of course, they also prey on each other in the process. Sometimes, there is no trace of any living thing across the endless plains, and you can only encounter one or two extremely huge victories.

Or, sometimes, the gregarious creatures are like a black torrent, migrating southward, Anzhe mixes in it, and flows down the river.

Ten days later, he finally found a flying bird that was headed due south. More than twenty days later, on the soft back of the flying bird, he saw a long, narrow, huge dark shadow appear on the horizon, like a scar in this world.

According to human beings, the core of the abyss is a narrow fault zone caused by an eight-magnitude earthquake in the Catastrophic Era. The radiation in this place is extremely abnormal, which has given birth to countless terrifying monsters. With this core fault zone expanding outward, the abyss

To the north is a vast plain covered with dense forests, covered with all kinds of mushrooms, and with countless monsters dormant. To the south is a huge rolling highland and mountain range.

The bird came to the edge of the abyss. It was tired from flying, so it found a huge dead tree and perched on the branch to rest.

The branches suddenly trembled, the bird's feathers exploded, its wings flapped, and it screamed——

——Dense black vines appeared on the dead wood at some point, and they had already entangled the bird’s feet tightly. ——With the sound of flapping wings, the snow-white bird was dragged to the

In the center of the tree with dense branches, its graceful neck was raised high, and its long and pointed beak stretched out to the gray sky. It was a struggling gesture, but the vines wrapped around its neck, and the flexible vines split in the next moment, and a

The mouthparts with sharp fangs bit its neck.

There was a splash of blood, and the body of the five- to six-meter-long bird was broken into two pieces, with tiny feathers and downs scattered all over the floor.

An Zhe hugged his backpack and landed on the ground with the feathers. He stood up and stepped on the rotten ground with black water flowing across it. After staggering a few steps, he looked up and saw the bird being eaten by tens of thousands of vines.

All.

The vines spread away contentedly.

The dense forest, the vines and giant mushrooms in the forest blocked the skylight and the sound of fighting.

This is the abyss, a place that eats people without spitting out bones. There are no rodents or arthropods here because they are too weak. And those creatures that are a hundred times more powerful than them are not invincible - the soil of the abyss is covered with flesh and blood.

Soaked and nutritious, this may be the reason why the mushrooms thrive.

An Zhe walked into this place with one foot deep and one foot shallow. The ground covered with moss, dead branches, and fallen leaves was too soft, almost like a swamp, and creatures walking on it would not make any sound.

He clearly felt that the atmosphere of the abyss had changed. In the past, killing fights happened all the time, and powerful monsters often walked in the dense forest to patrol their territory. But today, as he walked down the road, he only encountered a silent shuttle.

of python.

They all seemed to be hibernating.

But An Zhe had no intention of paying attention to the comings and goings of the monsters.

He stared blankly at this endless place where even the sun couldn't shine.

To his left is a ten-meter-high dark red mushroom. It is entangled among several huge stones. Bloody mucus is constantly flowing from the umbrella cover. The huge body seems to be breathing, and it floats together in the air.

One volt.

An Zhe put his fingers on its stipe and felt the lines wrapped in mucus.

He had never seen mushrooms like this before.

His eyes were suddenly filled with fear, and he looked elsewhere.

——He didn’t recognize it.

His breathing fluctuated violently, and he stumbled and ran through the dense forest. After the day, it was night, and after night, it was morning. Every plain seemed familiar, and every cave was empty. I don’t know how long it took, but he couldn’t walk anymore.

His hyphae are no longer as soft and flexible as before. They are melting and breaking, and his human body has become extremely weak as his life is consumed.

At a quiet lakeside, a dead vine tripped him down.

The sharp stones scratched the knees of his palms. He knelt on the ground and buried his face in his palms, trembling all over.

He couldn't find it. He couldn't find the cave.

There is only one season in the life of a mushroom. The old ones die and new ones grow again. The face of the abyss changes with the generation of mushrooms. The original path, the path he firmly remembered - again

There is no shadow anymore.

Surrounded by mushrooms and dead trees, he looked at the sky in despair. He didn't know, he didn't know that things would be so - so cruel.

Lu Feng was right, he had no idea how big the world was.
