Little Mushroom

Downstairs, somewhere, there was a woman's scream, maybe she also saw the bug.

The beetle is slowly crawling on the glass. It is the size of a palm, and there are some dense and small protrusions attached to its eight slender legs. These protrusions are smooth and close to the glass surface. is its sucker.Its teardrop-shaped tail dragged a long, soft brown antennae, leaving dark brown water marks on the glass as it crawled - it seemed that it wanted to come in.

The poet stretched out his hand and slid his fingers through the gap between the two windows: "It's okay, it's sealed, it can't get in."

"One generation is not as good as one generation." Boss Xiao said, "The longer it gets, the uglier it gets."

"Gene fusion," the poet looked at the glass: "the more fusions, the more bizarre the appearance, and the stronger the infection ability. I know a scientist who said that all the research of human beings in the past 100 years still cannot explain the principle of infection. "

Boss Xiao: "Hey."

——He uttered a meaningless tone, but his body shrank to the corner of the room, away from the window as far as possible, and said, "Can't you close the curtains?"

"I want to see this city again." The poet said, lowering half of the curtains, the room was shrouded in darkness, and his silhouette showed a strange sadness in the darkness: "This... I don't know how long this city can last. .”

An Zhe looked out. In the early morning, the gray city was half hidden in the faint white mist. The sun was rising, and the mist was being roasted. At the end of the line of sight, some giants with mechanical structures appeared. They were very tall and pierced into the sky. There are many strange devices, these devices ensure the safety of the base, but sometimes they can't, such as now.

At this time, the poet turned to look at him: "You don't seem to be afraid at all."

An Zhe pursed his lips, he didn't know how to answer.

The poet put down the last half of the curtain and smiled at him: "You are really strange."

An Zhe: "Really?"

"You are too quiet, as if it doesn't matter what happens next moment." The poet said: "In our age, there are very few people with your personality."

An Zhe smiled: "Maybe."

There is no difference between mushrooms and people.He tried to make himself a little more human, asking the poet: "So what do we do now?"

The poet thought for 3 minutes and said, "Pray."

"Pray that the ultrasonic dispersing device is not completely damaged. Or pray that the bugs are just a group of bugs that have no brains and survive on instinct."

"And then, pray that our glass is strong enough not to shatter easily."

At the moment when his voice fell, the sound of ping-pong-pong sounded densely from outside the window, it was the sound of countless insects flying against the glass.

Boss Xiao looked at the poet gloomyly: "I pray that you are a mute."

The poet also panicked, opened the corner of the curtain, and then quickly closed it: "Don't look at it."

"I saw it." Boss Xiao said, "The bug swarm is coming."

The next moment, his face suddenly changed: "Quick! Block the vent!"

The poet suddenly looked towards the corner of the room: "There is the vent!"

The direction they were looking at was just above An Zhe's head. The poet tore off half of his sleeve with a stab, and handed it to An Zhe: "Clos it first!"

An Zhe took it, the air vent was not small, he rolled up the sleeve fabric with the fingers of his right hand, and stuffed it in: "Not enough."

The poet tore another piece, An Zhe held down the original piece with one hand, and took it over with the other.

The tip of his right index finger suddenly felt a slight pain.

An Zhe paused for a moment, with a normal expression on his face. He stuffed the ball of cloth in, blocked the vent firmly, and sat down on the bed again. Boss Xiao and the poet were checking the room for any other loopholes. He lifted the Put your index finger in front of your eyes.

A pinpoint-sized red dot.

The texture of the skin changed slightly, turning into snow-white hyphae. Taking advantage of the other two people's backs to him, he yanked and tore off the mycelium.

New hyphae protruded from the cut and reassembled into human fingers, new fingers without wounds.

An Zhe didn't know if this would work, and the mycelium that had been torn off didn't seem to have any problems, but he had no other choice.

"There are no other holes." The poet turned back and said.

An Zhe: "...um."

However, the sound of insects hitting the glass became more and more intensive and louder, and the glass clanked, as if it was about to shatter in the next moment.The radio in the corridor was blaring, but it was just some "please close the doors and windows, don't panic" nonsense.

The poet sat down, his face slightly pale: "Let's resign ourselves to fate."

"Hurry up and shut up." Boss Xiao looked serious, and after yelling at the poet, he looked at An Zhe.

An Zhe didn't know, so he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Quick," Boss Xiao said, "Call your man."

An Zhe: "...?"

District 1, Dispersion Center.

The huge black ultrasonic dispersing instrument is indistinct, standing under the gray sky. The disc-shaped main body makes it look like a huge flower blooming in the city.

The car was speeding on the road, the buildings kept receding, and the shadow of the dispersing device in front of them was also rapidly enlarging.

"If the dispersal center is destroyed." Lu Feng's voice interrupted him: "Will the other dispersal devices still work normally?"

"It is possible to stop working." The researcher was silent for a moment, and then said: "The operation of the dispersing instrument is too complicated. In order to ensure that the outer city is completely covered by ultrasonic waves, the strength and frequency band of all dispersing instruments are uniformly and remotely dispatched by the dispersing center. If the center is destroyed When the emergency procedures are not activated in time, I am afraid there will be very serious consequences."

"However, this is only the worst outcome, and the probability is very small." He continued: "The No. 1 dispersal instrument owned by the dispersal center is the largest ultrasonic dispersal instrument in the entire outer city. The power is too strong, and it will cause adverse effects on the human body. , Therefore, there are no permanent residents in District 1, and there are not many personnel and garrisons in the dispersal center. In the case of insufficient manpower, there may be other reasons for the temporary loss of contact, not necessarily—"

His voice stopped abruptly, and he looked through the car window, looking straight ahead at the ultrasonic dispersion device.

More than 100 years ago, in the spring of peaceful times, when flowers and leaves were growing, gardeners would spray insect repellants on plants to protect them from insect bites.

But at this moment, the ultrasonic disperser—this black flower, with gray, white, black and yellow stripes all over the surface, huge worms—they crawled all over its surface.

No, not just worms.

His breathing suddenly trembled violently.

"No..." he said, "Colonel, have you seen it?"

Lu Feng slammed the steering wheel!

The car completed a thrilling sharp turn on the narrow road, turned around and drove back in the original direction!

The armored vehicles at the rear turned on their lights angrily, but at the next moment, they all turned around——

At the end of the road, the swarm of black insects exploded like fireworks, flying up and down, like a sudden shower.The exoskeleton-covered bodies of arthropods slammed into the glass, and the entire car seemed to be headed against stray bullets.

In the car, the voice of the communicator was turned up to the maximum, and the operator's trembling voice rang.

"Colonel, emergency communication in District 2, the insect swarm has broken out, requesting support."

"Emergency communication in District 3, a large number of insect monsters were found during the evacuation process, requesting support."

"Emergency communication from the city defense station."

"Emergency communication from the City Office."

"Emergency Communications Area 8—"

"Continue to District 8," Lu Yan spoke very quickly: "Can the underground shelter safely accept the emergency evacuation of the whole city?"

"Colonel Lu!" The voice on the opposite side spoke faster: "Small swarms of flying mosquitoes entered through the ventilation system. There are more than ten infected people on our side, please ask the court for support!"

Three seconds of silence.

Lu Feng said: "The infected were killed, and the rest took refuge and waited for support."

Communication hangs up.

"Colonel." Then a young voice sounded: "The trial court has assembled, so far there are no casualties."

"Scatter support to each area. Priority is given to area 8."

"Yes."

Communication hangs up.

"Colonel." In the car, the researcher forced a calm voice: "Let's go back to the main city."

Lu Feng's voice was light: "The main city?"

"The main city has an independent defense and dispersal system, which can guarantee absolute safety."

The speed of the car slowly slowed down, and there was a fork in the road ahead.

Lu Feng said, "Where's the outer city?"

"The entire outer city of the base is exposed. Insect monsters have size advantages and can penetrate everywhere. The insect swarm is more dangerous than the rodent swarm that fell to the southeast base." The researcher's tone gradually returned to calm, and said: "You are the judge, but this In this case, you can't save anyone."

Sufficient arguments made the researcher regain his sanity and composure. He even smiled and said, "It doesn't make sense to go anywhere now, and it can't reduce any casualties. You know what I said is right. You can't protect anything else, but you can protect us." Own."

The voice of the communicator sounded again. The situation was urgent before. Lu Yan set the emergency mode, so after three seconds, the communication was answered automatically.

It was not the operator's voice that came.

"Colonel." A clear and lingering voice sounded, slower than what Lu Feng was accustomed to speaking, with a soft lightness between the words: "Your things are still here with me."

Lu Feng: "Where are you?"

"Beside the city defense station," An Zhe said, "...a lot of bugs are hitting the glass."

His voice trembled, as if frightened.

After half a turn of the steering wheel, Lu Yan drove onto one of the branch roads. The researcher looked at the abandoned one, his eyes widened, his body almost jumped out of the seat, and was tied up by the seat belt again. He suddenly said: "You -"

Lu Feng didn't seem to hear him at all, and only said to the communicator: "Wait."
