Little Mushroom

"Human science is like climbing a mountain, but we missed it 100 years ago." The doctor smiled: "It's like we can't explain why the geomagnetism suddenly disappeared for so long."

After that, he said no more, "Let's go."

Ke Lin lowered his head and walked towards the direction of the ferry without saying a word. After saying "goodbye" to the doctor, An Zhe also got on the bus.

Lu Feng didn't know where he was, An Zhe didn't see him, this person was very busy, and he didn't seem to want to deal with him much today, so he probably left.

After confirming that the last two people got on the bus, the shuttle bus left the train station along the track. This was the last bus, and there were nearly 100 people standing in it.Their starting point is inside the building, and they cannot see the situation outside.Until 3 minutes later, the shuttle bus passed through a tunnel, the sound of rain from the outside crashed in together with the light, the front suddenly opened up, and there was a faint sound of breathing in the car.

An Zhe's gaze passed through the crowd in the car, and also through the car window—it was another buffer zone, but just behind the buffer zone, countless gray-blue buildings with glittering glass luster rose from the ground.

He opened his eyes slightly.

A month ago, when he came to the human base for the first time, he felt the magic of human buildings. They were higher than most giant mushrooms, and they were extremely magnificent and tall—but that was for a mushroom that had never seen the world It's grand and tall.

Not now.As a person who has become accustomed to the architectural specifications of the outer city, he once again felt those tall buildings looking down on him.The residential buildings in the outer city are mainly ten stories high, but the buildings here are different. After he counted to thirty, because it took too long, the building had receded and disappeared from his field of vision, and he only counted Mostly.

At the same time, they are also extremely dense and intricate, intertwined strangely in An Zhe's sight.The rain is getting lighter, and the summer rainstorm always goes fast. The golden sun shines through the clouds and shines on the glass curtain wall at the top of the building.

An Zhe once heard the complete story of the establishment of the base from the poet's mouth.At first, it was only the weakening or even disappearance of the geomagnetic field-people built two magnetic field generators to solve this problem, and the main city of the northern base protected one of them.

It was not until later that bacteria, animals and plants mutated, and human beings began to assemble themselves to save themselves, and the entire northern base was born.Therefore, the establishment of the main city was earlier than the establishment of the outer city. At that time, many things had not happened. The magnetic field generator and the main city were the peak of human technology and construction ability at that time.

And then, it's all downhill.

The voice of the mechanical guide said: "Passengers, due to the scarcity of living resources in the main city, the residential areas attached to the Lighthouse and Garden of Eden are full, and you will be temporarily placed in the military residential area. Please find the corresponding address according to the ID card number, and wait for the next instruction. "

An Zhe took out his newly obtained ID card, the card number has changed, it is now 3124043702.

3 represents the human base, 1 represents the main city, and the remaining numbers indicate the specific living location.

The people in the car began to whisper, and they found that their respective addresses were very scattered.

"I see," someone said: "People in places like the Lighthouse and the Garden of Eden are not dangerous to work and will not die, so the residential area is full. However, the military often reduces its personnel, and many positions are vacant, which is just right for us to enter. .”

The rest echoed this view.Not long after, the shuttle bus stopped and let them off.There were a few others who lived in Unit 24 of Building 04 with An Zhe. They walked into the building and began to learn to use the elevator in a hurry-this is not available in the outer city.

Finally, Ke Lin got off the elevator on the 36th floor, and An Zhe came to the 37th floor alone. There are no other buttons above 37. This is the top floor—the two doors are facing each other, and there are white seals on them. The seal of Gate 02, you can enter by swiping your card.

The living area of ​​the main city is obviously larger than that of the outer city. This is a suite with one bedroom and one living room, with a separate bathroom and kitchen.There is a simple coffee table and a small gray sofa in the living room. On the wall facing the small sofa, there is a black square hanging. The structure and color of this square reminded him of the tablet computer he had played with Boss Xiao. He went up to it. , the button below was pressed.

"...has been safely transferred to the main city, and the emergency defense of the main city is activated. According to the United Front Center, the base will enter a period of 5-10 years to gather until the next generation grows up. At the same time, the lighthouse guesses that the monsters from outside will mutate with high intelligence. This insect invasion is a collective action of insect monsters during the breeding season. In order to avoid the potential danger of gene leakage, Lighthouse recommends that the United Front Center carefully dispatch troops to the outside, no longer carry out high-risk operations, and shift the focus of work to resource production and combat readiness research and development, to find a way to overcome the current predicament. Next, I will transfer to Mr. Chen, a researcher at the lighthouse."

The interface switched from an announcer in a suit to a serious middle-aged man in a white coat.

"As we all know, arthropod monsters do not have an advantage in survival in high-risk areas. However, in the breeding season, they need nutritious and genetically superior animal flesh as a breeding ground for eggs. We guess this is why they collectively attack humans The reason for the base. After all, reproduction is the first priority of a species, and they can do anything. However, it is unknown how they developed a group consciousness with wisdom, and it may be related to the ingestion of human genes by some individuals."

The announcer said: "Regarding this situation, what do you want to convey to everyone?"

"It's unfortunate that the outer city of the base has completely fallen. But in the end, we also eliminated the possibility of further leakage of human genes, and did not leave the monsters with a chance to reproduce. This is also a victory." The researcher said: " What I want to tell you is that there is no need to worry about the safety of the main city. The main city is the crystallization of the peak of human technology. Its safety is destined to prevent it from being invaded by external monsters. At the same time, everyone does not need to worry about the future of the human species. , I got the news that the breeding technology has been further improved, the number of newborns in the Garden of Eden has surged in recent years, the base will enter a period of population expansion, and our future is bright..."

The researcher talked on and on, mostly revolving around appeasing people. After he finished, the announcer connected with a military personnel and asked him to introduce the latest progress of the field work.

An Zhe thought that the news broadcast in the main city was much more detailed than the monotonous broadcast in the outer city.

He thought it was funny, and he didn't turn it off until the news finally finished and the screen turned gray and started playing some meaningless music.

It was already evening at this time, looking out from the window of the bedroom, the stars were just emerging, and a huge cylindrical tower-shaped black shadow stood in the distance. The buildings are all tall, like a huge monster dormant in the center of the city, with the faint aurora rapidly changing around it, An Zhe thinks maybe this is the legendary magnetic field generator.

He looked at it for a long time, and opened the door to have dinner. The main city, like the outer city, has group restaurants on certain floors.

At this time, he found that the seal of the neighbor's house opposite had been torn off.

An Zhe didn't intend to find out when his neighbor came back and what kind of person he would be.Today this day has a thrilling beginning, he doesn't like it, he intends to have a peaceful ending.

So he got his wish and calmed down until the next morning, a message came from his communicator, asking all the civil servants transferred from the outer city to gather at the gate of the Garden of Eden.

Last night, An Zhe read the map and base manual of the main city, and knew that there are 2 adult residents in the main city, 70.00% of them are soldiers, and the remaining 30.00% are scientific researchers and various civilian personnel.The periphery of the main city is composed of the armament area, military base, apron, train station and residential area, while the interior is the core area, which is an important institution of the three bases.

The first is the United Front Center, that is, the military, which is responsible for dispatching military personnel and supplies. The second is the scientific research center, which functions as its name suggests. Because the logo is a simplified lighthouse, it is simply called "lighthouse".The United Front Center and the Lighthouse each have a building, and the two buildings are connected by covered bridges. The buildings they form are called the "Twin Towers".

The third one has a longer name and is called "Breeding, Cultivation and Education Center". It has two functions. One is to provide food and nutrition for the base - An Zhe thinks this may be the place where humans grow potatoes. The other function is Breeding cubs, human babies grow up in this place and receive their rudimentary education.Because the name is too difficult to pronounce, it is also called "Eden".

An Zhe's future workplace will be the Garden of Eden.

He looked at the Twin Towers in the distance, and then at the Garden of Eden. In fact, he had a little expectation because he had never seen a human cub.His spores are a small, soft white thing. I don't know if the human cubs will be the same.

But can caring for human cubs give him experience in caring for his own cubs in the future?

— It seems that I can't.
