Little Mushroom

"rustle."

The sound wave seemed to cause a ripple in the air.In an instant, An Zhe realized that it did not use its eyes to mark its position, but its sound.

Countless limbs squirmed, and it moved this way.

"boom!"

Gunshots rang out in the night sky, and with the wind blowing around An Zhe, Lu Feng climbed up to the high rock at an unimaginable speed and fired the first shot.

The rustling stopped.The eyeballs on its body turned slowly, and a dull intermittent howl came out. Its trachea must be full of pustules, An Zhe thought.

The second shot hits an eyeball in the upper right.

The hissing grew louder, and An Zhe suddenly opened his eyes wide.

blood.

Black-red blood gushes out from the wound in the eyeball—not gushing, but spurting out.

Lu Feng fired several shots, the opening gradually festered and grew bigger, blood shot out from there like a fountain, and the howl of the monster was amplified countless times.

An Zhe looked up at Lu Feng, and saw this man's eyes were calm, as if everything was expected.

He looked back at the monster—its wings were trembling, but its body was too heavy to fly completely—it pounced forward crazily, and slammed into the stone where Lu Feng was. There was a loud noise, the stone trembled, dust and The debris fell together, and Lu Feng stood on it, but didn't move at all-he was condescending, looking down at the huge lump of meat.

The action of hitting the stone made it bleed faster, it was like a water bag with its mouth opened, An Zhe looked at this unimaginable scene, he suspected that the monster's body was composed of countless liquids.

After the tenth impact, the sound died down, and its huge body slowly fell to the ground.

The blood is not all. Tissue blocks and strangely shaped organs flow out from the breach. The heart and lungs are integrated into a flowing semi-solid, and an indescribable fishy smell permeates the entire area.Even monsters in the abyss don't have such indescribable structures in their internal organs.

An Zhe: "...?"

There was a gap in his cognition, and he looked up at Lu Feng, who raised his eyebrows slightly, jumped down and landed beside him: "What's wrong?"

An Zhe: "...That's it?"

Lu Feng: "That's it."

An Zhe: "It died so easily."

"Yeah." Lu Feng retracted the gun, and the butt of the gun gently twirled between his cold white fingers, and was put back into the gun case at his waist.

An Zhe was in great confusion, and even began to wonder what would happen if he was shot. He felt a little scared.

Lu Yan glanced at him with a slight smile in his eyes, then turned and walked out.

The ugliness of this monster was beyond An Zhe's imagination, and the speed at which it fell was also beyond his imagination.There are many huge and ugly species in the abyss, but the pile of minced meat in front of him obviously does not meet the criterion that the uglier the monster in the abyss, the stronger it is.

The corpse of the monster fell on the dune just like that, black and red pus flowed out from under its body, staining the soil in a dark color, and the same pus also stained the nearby bushes, like a drop of dew at first. It hangs down slowly, and after 1 minute, the contracture recovers and merges with the branches and leaves of the shrub—it is absorbed.

Lu Yan glanced at his watch. Three or ten minutes after the monster was confirmed dead, he approached the monster, and An Zhe followed—although he was still a little limping.

Its grotesque body reflects a strange metallic luster under the aurora. Although all the parts of the body come from different creatures, they are all firmly connected and grow from the inside of the body.Thinking about its previous action of devouring the black bee, An Zhe realized that if it swallowed a creature's gene, it would immediately grow an organ dominated by this part of the gene.

After observing the monster for a long time, Lu Feng said to An Zhe, "Let's go."

An Zhe said, "Where are you going?"

"There may be many such things here." Lu Feng said, "Find a safe place."

An Zhe looked around, there was nothing in his field of vision, only a dusty desert, and he asked, "Where are you going?"

"There are ruins ahead." Lu Feng said.

An Zhe wondered why I didn't see the ruins when I was flying in the sky.

But he thought again, he was riding a bee, and the colonel's means of transportation was an airplane, so of course his field of vision would be wider than his.

I heard Lu Yan ask him: "Can I go?"

An Zhe: "Yes."

He is actually not a pain-sensitive mushroom.

—Although it does hurt a bit.

The colonel glanced at him lightly and said, "Come here."

In the end, An Zhe returned to Lu Feng.He hugged his neck and buried his face on Lu Feng's shoulder. He could feel Lu Feng's breathing, and the undulating hilly area when he walked was actually only suitable for four-legged reptiles, and the ground was not hard. When going down, the sand is slightly sunken, which is not suitable for the development of bones and muscles. If it is a snake-like creature without feet, it may be like a fish in water. There are many places in this world that are not suitable for human activities. They need to consume extra energy to walk here. Physical strength, but it takes more to carry a person.But Lu Feng didn't seem to be stingy. In his limited memory, the colonel didn't be stingy about anything other than not being talkative.

In the silence, An Zhe looked back, and saw a line of footprints on the snow-white sand under the endless dark sky, which looked like some profound symbols.

He suddenly thought of that day in the Garden of Eden - that day when he passed the empty corridor, several white officers gathered in an empty room, reciting a beautiful poem, the leader held a silver cross.At that time, the geomagnetism disappeared and the power supply was interrupted. Everyone was in the fear of chaos, but their expressions were very peaceful, as if they had gained a kind of strength that could support them to move on.

"Though I have walked through the valley of the shadow of death, I am not afraid of harm." He read this quiet poem to Lu Feng: "Because you are with me. Your rod, your pole, comfort me."

Lu Feng's voice seemed to have a hint of gentleness in the coldness: "Is there any more?"

An Zhe tried hard to recall: "I will be accompanied by kindness and love for a long time in my life."

"And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever."

"They are religious."

An Zhe said: "God?

He remembered that words such as "God" or gods appeared in the manuscripts written by Anze for the base.

Lu Feng gave a faint "hmm".

An Zhe said again: "What about you?"

Lu Feng didn't answer.

Lu Yan didn't speak, An Zhe read to him line by line the poems he had written down in his child's textbook or somewhere else, simple or complex, until "Don't go gentle into that good night". When it's over, repeat it from the beginning.He and Lu Feng had nothing to say, no day to chat, he wanted to say something to make this dead night more lively, that's all he could do.

The wind was strong, and the sound was quickly blown away, but they were so close, An Zhe knew he could hear them.

They have been gone for a long time.

An Zhe didn't know what kind of training he had received as a colonel in the military, but he also knew that the road and the night were too long.

Long enough to seem to be able to walk a lifetime, to the edge of this world, or the end of their lives.

He quietly changed a part of his body into light hyphae, and was afraid that this change would be minimal, so after a while, he would quietly change another part.

Finally, he heard Lu Feng say, "Do you know why that monster died so easily?"

An Zhe didn't know why Lu Feng suddenly mentioned this, he stopped reciting poems and said, "I don't know."

"Low-level mutations are genetic pollution, and there are two types of high-level mutant monsters," Lu Yan said: "Mixed and polymorphic."

"After the mixed edible gene, it will have a part of the original creature, and the genes and characteristics of many creatures can coexist in it. But it has a buffer stage." Lu Yan walked forward and continued: "The original gene and The newly captured gene has a conflict time. During this period, its gene chain changes drastically, conflicts with the original organ function, and the inside of the body is in chaos. Therefore, the interval between intelligent hybrid monsters eating genes is very long, and it needs to establish stable genes. The one just now ...greedy."

An Zhe: "What about polymorphic classes?"

"Polymorphism is the highest-level variation observed so far. The number is small, and it is mainly concentrated in the abyss. The variation method is not the coexistence of genes, but free conversion. For example, from a bee to a plant... Sometimes it can also be changed locally .”

"The genetic sequence of the polymorphic variation is more stable than that of the mixed type," Lu Yan said lightly: "But don't ingest too much at one time, it will affect the mind. The court once collected a case, a polymorphic animal and plant monster The transformation was incomplete, the organs of the whole body became fibrotic, and he died on the spot."

An Zhe was a little scared, and silently hugged Lu Feng's neck tightly.

But he always felt that there was something in the colonel's words.

The author has something to say: The colonel teaches you to be a different species.
