Little Mushroom

"Human science is like mountain climbing, but we stepped out of the air a hundred years ago." The doctor smiled. "It's like we can't explain until now why the geomagnetism suddenly disappeared for so long."

He stopped talking and said, "Let's go."

Colin bowed his head and walked in the direction of the ferry bus without saying a word. After Dr. An Zhehe said "goodbye", he boarded the car.

Lu Zheng didn't know where. An Zhe didn't see him. This man was very busy, and it seemed that he didn't want to deal with him any more today, probably already gone.

After confirming that the last two people also boarded the bus, the ferry bus left the train station along the track. This is the last car, which was crowded next to each other and stood for nearly a hundred people. Their starting point was inside the building, and they couldn't see the situation outside. Until three minutes later, the ferry car passed through a tunnel, and the sound of rain from outside ran into it along with the light. The front was suddenly bright, and there was a faint inhalation sound from the car.

Anzhe's line of sight passed through the crowd inside the car and through the car window-another section of the buffer zone, but behind the buffer zone, countless gray-blue, glittering glass lustrous buildings stood up.

He opened his eyes slightly.

A month ago, when he first came to the human base, he felt the magic of human architecture. They are higher than most giant mushrooms, they are unusually magnificent and tall—but that is for a mushroom that has never been seen before. It's grand and tall.

It's different now. As someone who has become accustomed to the specifications of the outer city, he once again feels that the tall buildings are overlooking him. The residential building in the outer city is mainly ten stories high. The building here is different. After he counted to thirty, because it took too long, the building had receded and disappeared into his view, and he only counted it. Mostly.

At the same time, they are also extremely dense and intricately intertwined in the sight of Anzhe. The rain is getting lighter, and the heavy rains in summer always go fast. The golden sunlight shines through the clouds on the glass curtain wall at the top of the building.

An Zhe once heard the full story of the establishment of the base among the poetic population. At first, the geomagnetism weakened or even disappeared-two magnetic field generators were built to solve this problem, and the main city of the northern base protected one of them.

It wasn't until later that mutations in bacteria, animals and plants occurred, and humans began to gather to save themselves, and the entire northern base was born. Therefore, the main city was established earlier than the outer city. At that time, many things had not yet happened. The magnetic field generator and the main city were the peak of human science and technology and construction capabilities at the time.

And then, it was all the way downhill.

The mechanical guidance voice said: "Dear passengers, due to the scarcity of living resources in the main city, the lighthouse and the Eden-affiliated residential area are full. 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 new ID card, the card number changed, and now it is 3142437002.

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

People inside the car started to talk to each other, and they found that their respective addresses were very fragmented.

"I see," someone said. "People in lighthouses, Eden, etc. are not dangerous to work, they will not die, so the residential area is full. But the military often downsizing vacates a lot of places, just stuffing us in. . "

The rest agree. Not long after, the shuttle bus stopped and set them down. There were still a few who lived in Unit 24 of Building 24 with Anzhe. They walked into the building and started learning to use the elevator in a hurry-this is not available in the outer city.

Finally, Colin stepped off the elevator on the 36th floor, and Anzhe came to the 37th floor. There are no other buttons above 37. This is the top floor. The two doors are facing each other, and the white seal is pasted. Door 02 seal, swipe to enter.

The living area of ​​the main city is obviously larger than that of the outer city. This is a one-bedroom, one-living suite with separate bathroom and kitchen. The living room is supported by a simple coffee table and a small gray sofa. On the wall opposite the small sofa, a black square is hung. The structure and color of this square remind him of the tablet computer that he once played with Boss Xiao, and he went forward. And pressed the button below.

"... has been safely transferred into the main city, and the emergency defense status of the main city is turned on. According to the United Front Center, the base will enter a period of 5-10 years until the next generation. The insect wave invasion was a collective action of insect monsters during the breeding season. In order to avoid the potential danger of gene leakage, Beacon suggested that the United Front Operations Center be cautious to send out soldiers, no longer carry out high-risk operations, and shift its focus to resource production. And combat readiness research and development, to find a way to overcome the current predicament. Let ’s switch to the lighthouse researcher Mr. Chen. ”

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

"As we all know, arthropod monsters do not occupy survival advantages in high-risk areas. However, in the breeding season, they need nutritious and genetically superior animal flesh as a breeding ground for worm eggs. We guess this is their collective attack on humans. The reason for the base. After all, reproduction is the number one priority for species, and they can do everything. However, it is unknown how they generate intelligent group consciousness. I am afraid that it is related to the ingestion of human genes by some individuals. "

The announcer said, "What do you want to tell everyone about this situation?"

"It's unfortunate that the outer city of the base was completely destroyed. But we also finally prevented the possibility of further leakage of human genes and did not leave the monsters a chance to thrive. This is also a victory." The researcher said: " What I want to tell you is that you don't have to worry about the safety of the main city at present. The main city is the crystallization of the peak of human technology. Its security is destined that it will not be invaded by external monsters. At the same time, you don't have to worry about the future of human species. I have received news that the cultivation technology has been further improved. The number of newborns in Eden has surged in recent years, and the base will enter a period of population expansion. Our future is bright ... "

The researcher continued to talk about appeasing people. After he finished, the announcer connected with another military person 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 very interesting. When the news finally finished, the screen became monotonous gray, and began to play some meaningless music before he turned it off.

At this time in the evening, looking out from the bedroom window, the stars appeared, and a huge cylindrical tower-shaped shadow stood in the distance. It was too large, occupying almost a quarter of Anzhe's vision, and more than all The buildings are tall, like a giant monster dormant in the center of the city. The thin aurora changes rapidly around it. Anzhe may be the legendary magnetic field generator.

He watched for a long time, opened the door and planned to have dinner. The main city, like the outer city, had collective restaurants on some floors.

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

An Zhe did not intend to investigate when his neighbors came back and what kind of person he would be. Today is a thrilling start to the day. He doesn't like it, and he intends to come to a peaceful end.

So he did his best to calm down until the next morning, when his communicator heard the news, asking all the civilian staff transferred from the outer city to gather at the gate of Eden.

Last night, Anzhe read the map and base manual of the main city, knowing that there are 20,000 permanent residents in the main city, 70% of whom are military personnel, and the remaining 30% are scientific researchers and various civilian personnel. The periphery of the main city is composed of armament areas, military bases, tarmacs, train stations and residential areas, while the interior is the core area and is an important institution for the three bases.

The first is the United Front, the military, which is responsible for dispatching armaments and supplies, and the second is a scientific research center. Its function is as its name. Because the sign is a simplified lighthouse, it is simply called a "lighthouse". The United Front Center and the lighthouse each have a building, and the two buildings are connected by a covered bridge. They are called "twin towers".

The third one has a relatively long name and is called the "Breeding, Cultivation and Education Center". It has two functions. One is to provide food and nutrition for the base. Anzhe thinks this may be the place where humans grow potatoes. Breed pups, human babies grew up in this place and received initial education. Because the name is too difficult to pronounce, it is also called "Eden."

The future work location of Anzhe is Eden.

He looked at the twin towers in the distance and looked at the Garden of Eden, in fact he had a little expectation, because he had not seen the human cubs. His spores are a small, soft white thing, and I don't know if human cubs will do the same.

But can caring for a human cub accumulate experience for him in the future?

-It doesn't seem to work either.
