Little Mushroom

The lunch meal turned out to be mushroom soup.

Xibei said that he planted it himself in the mine, and it was clean.Pleurotus ostreatus grows fast, and the remaining amount is enough to eat for several days.

An Zhe shrank silently to the corner when he heard the words. Xibei looked so gentle and friendly, but he didn't expect that he was also a murderer of mushrooms.

But he had to become an accomplice in eating mushrooms.

Before he started eating, he noticed that Lu Feng glanced at him lightly. An Zhe thought that the colonel must have remembered the bowl of mushroom soup that he couldn't drink before leaving the base. It seemed a pity, and humans don't like to have Pity.I ate it today, and it made up for it.

After the meal, Xibei showed them the food reserves, not many, some mushrooms, a few strips of dried meat, and a packet of salt.

"The meat was stored in the past," Xibei said. "The trap can catch some small monsters. They say that if they are too strange, they will be infected if they are eaten. Only those that are not too strange, like the animals in the past, can be eaten."

Lu Yan said: "Low-mutation monsters can be eaten 24 hours after death."

"Then the uncles concluded correctly." Xi Bei said.

Lu Yan asked him, "What kind of monster is there?"

"There are birds, many lizards, and big mice," Xibei said. "Sometimes there are bugs, like spiders. We eat more mice."

"But after the sandstorm, I seldom see it. I saw two very ugly things," Xibei's face turned slightly pale when he said this: "It's so big, I'm afraid they will find me, so I just took a look through the binoculars. I've never seen such a thing, do you know what it is?"

"This should be the eastern hills, and the pollution level was not high at first." Lu Feng said, "But there was an accident in the magnetic field five days ago, resulting in a secondary mutation, and a hybrid monster appeared."

Xibei: "...Huh?"

Lu Yan's voice was deep: "The original small monsters have been aggregated into large hybrid monsters through the food chain."

Xibei's face turned pale again.

An Zhe listened to Lu Feng's words, and it was conceivable that the monsters killed each other and devoured each other. The number decreased, but the level of mutation increased greatly.Perhaps the scarier thing is that the same thing is happening all over the planet, and every day is more chaotic than yesterday.

The communication was still disconnected, but the colonel still performed his duties. In the afternoon, Lu Feng borrowed a pen and paper from Xibei and briefly recorded the situation here.

Night is the rest time. There is only one generator in the entire mine that can still be used, and the wiring is also damp and aging. There is only one empty room in the entire mine that has electricity, and the two of them live here.

After An Zhe took a shower, he dried his hair and leaned against the bedside to play with magnets. In this mine, magnets can be seen everywhere.

Holding one piece in one hand, he aligned the two same poles of the magnet together, trying to press them together.There is obviously only air between the two black magnets, but no matter how much effort he uses, he can't get them close, as if there is an invisible force in the middle pushing them away.

He frowned. He didn't know why this happened. He couldn't understand a lot of human knowledge, just like human beings couldn't understand a lot of knowledge in this world.But he still stubbornly wants to put them together. He feels that as long as there is enough strength, there is nothing that cannot be approached.

With the sound of footsteps, Lu Feng entered the room. His coat was washed off by An Zhe, and it is now hanging in a ventilated place.An Zhe looked up and saw that the colonel was only wearing a military-style black vest at this time, the graceful and smooth muscle lines of his shoulders and arms were exposed, and the trouser legs of the combat uniform were tucked into the black boots, making his figure even more tall and beautiful.His hair was simply brushed and slightly messy, and the broken hair on his forehead was dotted with shiny drops of water.

An Zhe looked at him, leaving the judge's uniform and badge, Lu Feng seemed to be just a young officer with a bright future and power in his hands.Even though his brows and eyes were still as cold as before, and the temperature of his cold green eyes hadn't risen substantially, An Zhe felt that he seemed much more relaxed.He suddenly remembered that according to the counting method of human age, the age of twenty is obviously the age when everything has just begun.

Someone in their twenties is looking down at the communicator, but the comm just repeats "Sorry, due to solar wind or ionosphere effects..."

Turning off the communicator, putting it on the table, Lu Feng sat down next to An Zhe.

An Zhe couldn't put the same poles of the two magnets together anyway, so he looked at Lu Feng.

"Repel each other." Lu Feng said lightly.

An Zhe frowned.

Lu Feng took the two pieces out of his hand, and the opposite poles attracted each other, and changed the direction. The two magnets quickly joined together tightly, and then Lu Feng threw it aside.

An Zhe asked, "What's in them?"

He is a mushroom, Anze has never taken a physics class, and the combined knowledge of the two of them cannot explain this phenomenon.

Lu Feng said, "Magnetic field."

An Zhe: "Is it the same as an artificial magnetic field?"

"Yes." Lu Feng said.

An Zhe said, "Can't you see it?"

"Invisible."

"Why can't I see it?"

Lu Yan stuffed him under the quilt: "There are many things I can't see."

An Zhe let out an "oh", it was a little hot under the quilt, and he exposed his arms and shoulders again.

Lu Yan looked at the collar of his soft white T-shirt, where a blue bruise was exposed, and he stretched out his hand to pull the collar down.

The originally smooth and flawless creamy white skin exposed from the collar was covered with bruises and purple marks, which were very uniform, so uniform that it was impossible to find which part was the source.

An Zhe didn't say a word, he pulled his hand away, and pulled the collar back silently.

Lu Feng's eyes still stayed there. Of course he recognized this trace. When the base treats serious offenders who need to be tortured to extract confessions, they will use high-intensity electric shocks. No one can survive without confessing.The sequelae left by electrocution are various, ranging from physical to psychological.The marks on the skin are just one of them, and more people can't get rid of this painful nightmare throughout their lives.

But after An Zhe wrapped the quilt tightly, he just drooped his eyelashes and said calmly, "It doesn't hurt now."

Lu Yan looked at his quiet expression, sometimes he wanted to bully him, and sometimes he wanted to treat him well.

An Zhe squirmed into the bed, giving him space to lie down.

The bed was not big, and after Lu Feng lay down on his side, they were very close.An Zhe also saw a scar on his arm that seemed to be hit by a blunt object, and that's not all, there were also faintly visible dark wounds or scratches on his shoulder.

He stretched out his hand to touch the longest one, but in the middle of the journey, afraid of hurting the colonel, he retracted it, obediently huddling under the quilt.

The colonel's eyes seemed gentle: "Go to sleep."

An Zhe let out an "um" and closed his eyes.

The eyelashes cast a faint shadow under the light, making his expression softer and quieter.He was also relaxed all over, and Lu Yan could easily recognize this. This little alien seemed to be sure that he would not hurt him—even after his body was covered with electric shock scars.

It's not the first time I've been puzzled by his behavior.When they first met, on that disorderly night when he left the city gate and had nowhere to go, An Zhe also said to him unpreparedly, you can stay with me—at that time he felt that this boy was not Or, he's as innocent as he looks, as if he doesn't know that people don't often invite strangers to stay.

He thought so, and asked the same question.

"...Aren't you afraid of me?"

Asked by him, An Zhe slowly opened his eyes. Under the dim light of the gas lamp, his eyes seemed to be covered with a soft and beautiful mist.

It was just such a short time, he seemed to be about to fall asleep, and said in a muffled voice, "Why are you afraid of you?"

Lu Yan didn't speak, he propped up his upper body, looked down on An Zhe, his eyes were heavy, and with the other hand he picked up the gun beside the pillow, and the cold barrel touched An Zhe's cheek.

An Zheqing glanced at him and frowned slightly. He seemed to be angry again. He stretched out his hand to push the barrel of the gun away, and turned around - this action also tore away the quilt by the way.

Lu Yan looked at his slender neck, his thin shoulders that undulated slightly with his breathing.Such a person seems to be easily hurt and easily protected.After a long time, he turned off the light and lay down again.

Lu Yan's body sank slightly, and An Zhe pulled back the part of the quilt that had been torn away from him.

Like a summer night, the tail of the dragonfly tapped the calm lake.

It is not only the originally calm water waves that are touched by the ripples.

In the silent silence, driven by some emotion, or just a subconscious movement, Lu Feng hugged An Zhe from behind.His arm pressed against An Zhe's arm, and An Zhe moved slightly. At first, he planned to put his arm down, but in the end, there was nowhere to rest it, so he moved up a little bit, and put his finger on Lu Feng's forearm, just Like he used to roll mycelium around a nearby stone or tree trunk.

Lu Feng felt his movements.

An Zhe's voice sounded softly: "Aren't you afraid that I will infect you?"

Lu Feng didn't answer An Zhe, just like An Zhe didn't answer him just now.

The inquisitor believed in a xenomorph, or the xenomorph believed in an inquisitor, it couldn't be more absurd - for whatever reason.Perhaps the day they met was the beginning of the most ridiculous story in the world.

But in the dark, no one can see whose face clearly.In this isolated place, in this hour when no one knows, it seems like it doesn't matter what you do.All is forgotten, all is acquiesced.

Listening to An Zhe's light and even breathing, Lu Feng closed his eyes.
