Little Mushroom

"Uh-"

"Uh-"

"Uh-"

I don't know where it is, the instrument monotonously sounds. But there was another sound in the room.

"Well."

"Well."

"Well."

This sound resembles the sound of a human heartbeat, but it is not true, because it permeates the entire room, and the corners of the four walls seem to have a device for playing sound.

At this time, footsteps came from the end of the room. It was two humans. They walked and talked as if they were recording something.

After a while, a brief dialogue sounded.

"Zone 4 is normal."

"Region 6 is normal."

"No. 113 stopped developing."

"Continue to observe."

"No. 334 has multiplied abnormally and must be destroyed."

"Transplantation 334 is too early."

"No way, the report that was issued last time was not approved. The superior is determined to offset the high abnormal rate with a high birth rate."

"The abnormal rate of embryos has been increasing for the past two years. This is not a smart decision at all. The embryos must stay in the mother for at least one month to ensure smooth development."

"The mother's flowering period is too short. If the time is longer, the birth rate will not be enough."

"Why is it so difficult?"

"Be optimistic, the overall number of children is increasing."

The footsteps gradually disappeared, and only the heartbeat sounding throughout the room still rang. The light in the room was dim and soft. It was a stable nest, or a huge hollow organ, and the powerful heartbeat sounded like a proof of life.

An Zhe slowly exited this channel, and he felt a bit uncomfortable in his body-this place seemed to have some strange fluctuations affecting his body. But fortunately, after seeing the layout of the human room, he finally regained his cognition. He had to go near the building.

After turning around in the pipe many times, he found many vents, all of which led to one small room after another. Now it seems that it is time for people to sleep. There is a person sleeping in each room. There was no way to get out of the bed to see it, but I could hear the breathing, it was very weak, it was the babies' breathing. The windows were closed, and there was a red light camera above the room, and he couldn't escape through the room.

It took a long time before Anzhe finally found a vent on the corridor ceiling.

He stepped out carefully from here, spreading his body flat on the ceiling, climbing the ceiling and moving in the hallway-the camera was looking down and could not capture the picture on the ceiling.

The layout of each floor of the Garden of Eden is similar. He recognized that this should be a corridor for handling chores, where the warehouses for indoor cleaning tools, household items and food and sundries are located.

He was slightly agitated. According to the law, in the corridor three-quarters, there would be a door leading to a small terrace-occasionally for drying things, and sometimes the staff would smoke there.

Soon, An Zhe successfully found the door, and he tried to reach out the mycelium and leaked through the crack.

The sky outside was bright—it was already daylight.

But before Anzhe had time to think carefully, her attention had completely shifted.

On the empty terrace, on a concrete fence, stood a white, small figure, a girl in a white dress. She turned her back on Anzhe, facing the outside, slowly opening her arms and leaning forward—she would fall right away.

Anzhe's human figure appeared, and he took a few steps forward, grabbed the girl's shoulder, took her off the fence, and put it on the ground: "You ..."

The girl turned back.

An Zhe froze.

He had seen her. Just two days ago, she ran from the Garden of Eden to the road outside, stopped by Lu Yan, and finally taken away by the staff of the Garden of Eden. He would not admit it.

At this time she glanced at Anzhe. It was almost a godless look. Without the bright color of the children in Anzhe's class, there was an instant that Anzhe thought the girl was a lifeless doll. He knew that his current image was not ordinary. He wore a robe made of hypha, perhaps like a human going out on a sheet—but normal humans wouldn't go out on a sheet.

But this girl was like she hadn't seen anything. She didn't seem to think how special Anzhe's dress was, and how abruptly Anzhan appeared. She also did not seem to recognize him, or she did not remember the existence of this person at all. Three seconds later, she slowly turned back to look forward.

At this time, it was early morning outside, the aurora just disappeared, and the thick white mist was flowing through the dark gray city. The undulating waves generally rushed into the gray-blue sky. At this angle, half of the field of view was not far from the cylindrical magnetic field Covered by the generator, it is larger and taller than all buildings, like a mountain, an island in the sea fog, or a spiral ladder connecting the sky to the ground. The street lights flickered with the morning stars of the sky, but they were overshadowed by such a huge image.

And the girl looked up at the infinite sky above.

"I didn't want to jump." Her voice was immature, but the words were clear: "I want to fly."

An Zhe said, "It will fall."

She said, "I know."

Her tone was also bland, unlike a child of this age. The morning wind came, and her white skirt and black hair were blown up. It was an unusually slender and soft. Women and girls outside did not have this kind of thing-Du Sai also had such characteristics, but This girl is even more visible.

An Zhe was standing behind her. He had just protected a human cub, and he paid for it. At least, his existence was exposed in the eyes of the girl. Now he is in extreme danger and can not reveal anything flaw.

He said, "Why are you here?"

"Sometimes, the surveillance will be messed up for a while, and they haven't found it yet." The girl said, "I'll come out to see the sky."

"You can also watch the free time," An Zhe said. "How many flights are you on?"

He earnestly fulfilled the duties of a teacher and could not let the pups stay in such a dangerous place.

She said, "I'm in the Garden of Eden."

An Zhe: "How many classes do you have in the Garden of Eden?"

"I'm not on several floors and several shifts," she said, "the boys are there."

Anzh explained to her patiently: "There are girls in the class."

There are many girls in his class, such as Jisha-although they are dressed like other boys, they do not wear skirts and shoulder-length hair like the girl in front of them.

"Those girls are not girls." She turned to look at An Zhe: "A girl above the 20th floor is a real girl."

An Zhe: "Why?"

"Do you not even know this?" She said.

An Zhe: "I don't know."

He really knew very little about this human base.

For the first time, a girl's face had a non-flat expression on her face. Her lips were raised, with a faint smug comprehension: "Then you don't know the Rose Declaration."

An Zhe: "What is it?"

The girl turned and lay on the railing, and the sun rose faintly in the sky.

"Then you don't know about bacterial infections, do you?" She said.

An Zhe: "I know."

He knew about the disaster that killed 90% of the world's human beings.

"Only genetically good people can survive," she said.

An Zhe: "Yes."

With strong mutant bacteria, human treatments are ineffective. They can only escape infection by virtue of innate immunity. A person's genes are destined to resist this disease and he can survive.

"Then those people survived, and found that very few living children in the world were born." She reached out and combed her hair, paused for a while, as if organizing wording, and then said, "After the infection "The girls who survived have defects in their fertility. There are only a few, and their defects are relatively small."

An Zhe didn't speak. She wrinkled her nose and continued: "Scientists will give them genetic tests. Those with a score below 60 will completely lose that function. Those with a score above 60 may give birth to normal children. Then, just With the Rose Manifesto. You are a boy and the declaration has nothing to do with you. "

An Zhe asked, "What is the declaration?"

"We just carried it back," she said. "Do you want to listen?"

An Zhe: "Okay."

She had a calm tone and apostasy: "23,371 women with a fertility score of 60 and above on human beings had zero votes and rejected the following declaration: I voluntarily dedicate myself to human destiny, accept genetic experiments, and accept all forms of assisted reproduction Means to fight for life for the human race. "

"That's it," she said. "So I'm on the 20th floor, you are below, now you know."

"Thank you," An Zhe said, "but you still have to be careful not to come to such a dangerous place."

"I won't jump." She said, "I will come every week, aren't you here?"

She looked at Anzhe again: "I want to see the sky, so come here, why are you here?"

An Zhe: "I can't find my way back."

"I know the way," she said. "I have a secret passage."

An Zhe thought about it, "I don't have any clothes to wear."

"I also know where the laundry room is," she said.

An Zhe asked her, "Can you tell me?"

Instead of answering directly, she said, "Are you a lower student?"

An Zhe: "I'm a teacher."

"You promise me one thing," her eyes seemed more energetic, and said to An Fang, "promise me one thing, I'll go get clothes for you, and then take you out of the secret passage."

An Zhe asked, "What's the matter?"

"You find a boy named Sinan on the 6th floor and tell him that I was hit with a tracking agent and I can't go out to play with him later." She said: "At this time next week, you come here again and tell me he said What happened. "

An Zhe was silent.

The girl looked at him and asked, "Can't you do that?"

"I ..." An Zhe looked at her, she blinked, and then she looked like a normal child.

In the end, An Zhe said, "I may not be able to do it."

She said, "If you can find it, he is on the sixth floor."

An Zhe did not speak.

She seemed anxious, and opened the door to the terrace, and said, "I'll get you clothes."

Before Anzhe could stop her, her white skirt disappeared into the door.

If the Sinan she said is the Sinan that Anzh knows, then he is no longer in the Garden of Eden, at the lighthouse. But Anzhe didn't know, if he really told her the news, what would happen to her, he knew that human emotions would bring pain.

So until the girl went out and came back, pulling him through the deep empty corridor, and finally stopping at a small open door in the debris pile, he didn't think about wording.

"If you can get in, you can go down to the first floor." She pointed at the door.

The door was half open. Strictly speaking, because of years of disrepair, it was no longer closed tightly, but was released. But the chain-shaped rusty metal door bolt was still hanging on the door and embedded in the wall, so that it could only open a small width, enough for a child to drill into it sideways.

An Zhe said, "I'll try."

He walked to the door and leaned slightly.

It is impossible for an adult to pass through here, but after all, he is still a mushroom, his body becomes a state of hyphae under the cover of clothing, and after losing the restriction of human bones, he easily enters the door from behind.

"Your body is so soft," the girl said.

"I have one thing, too," An Zhe said. "Can you not tell anyone I've been here?"

The girl said, "If you come here next week-"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

"Lily?" A female voice sounded.

"You're here again." The voice was slightly reproachful.

Ann turned away and he heard Lili said, "I'm sorry, ma'am."

"This time I found you," the woman called "Mrs." said softly. "If it were them, you would be locked up again."

Lili said: "I won't do it again."

Then there was the sound of footsteps. They seemed to be going out. Anzhe looked through the gap and saw Lily being held by a lady in a long white dress. The figure gradually walked away in the dark corridor.

Lily didn't finish her words, but he knew what she wanted to say. He seemed to have reached an agreement with Lily. He would come here again next week and tell her Sinan's reply.

He was serious, looking around-a dim, moist atmosphere spread around him, and he faintly saw the wall skin mottled, covered with gray-green mold plaque, and the ground was covered with gray-white powder debris-it was a small one Steep stairwell. And, obviously, I don't know how many years have not been used.

Anzhe found the position of the handrail of the staircase and walked down it little by little. It had no windows and was darker than the night. This place was not much better than the pipes.

There are 20 steps on each floor. Anzhe walks and counts the number of floors. When he descends to the 6th floor, the door of the staircase has a gap about the same size as the 20th floor. He exits from the inside. And reached the utility room on the 6th floor.

Bright lights illuminated him. Lily gave him the clothes of the Eden staff, snow-white shirts—no different from his previous dress. He went out and glanced at the wall clock in the hallway at seven o'clock. When he went to work from the Garden of Eden to work-already late.

So An Zhan went downstairs and accelerated his pace towards the door. The bright red slogan "Human interests above all else" in the hall is particularly dazzling on the snow-white wall. The staff in white uniforms walked on the bright ground, and the voice of the child came from a distance. Everything is different from the inside of the tortuous pipe. He felt himself alive again.

The glass door in the lobby opened and bumped into a head-on.

An Zhe: "..."

Lu Yan.

Behind Lu Yan is Thuran.

He saw Lu Yan's eyes narrowed, and from this movement he felt some dangerous breath.

Sure enough, Lu Yan said, "Where is it?"

In the face of this man, the mycelium of Anzhe is about to explode.

He shouldn't be in the Garden of Eden now, he should be at the training base with Colin.

"I ..." He looked up at Lu Yan.

And those cold green eyes stared at him, it seemed like: you can start editing.

An Zhe said, "... I went wrong."

Really went wrong, completely lost in the underground of the whole city. If he didn't happen to come to the Garden of Eden, or didn't find the terrace in time, he might continue to be trapped in that place, and then lose his identity as a human and never come out again.

and……

And Lu Yan, this bad thing, has nothing to do with him ever since.

He lowered his eyes slightly, not knowing why, but he felt that the colonel at this time was not as abominable as before.

Just listen to Serran gently: "It's time to go to the training base to work today, haven't you responded that you have changed places?"

An Zhe didn't say anything, the sun rose from behind the artificial magnetic poles in the distance, and the golden light shone on the silver buckle of Lu Yi's uniform.

His voice was a little dumb: "And it's going to be late."

Lu Yan didn't speak, but didn't say anything to make him difficult. An Zhe felt that based on Lu Yi's knowledge of his IQ, Tsering's reason was convincing enough. An Zhe moved aside, tried to bypass Lu Yan, and left here.

Lu Yan's voice suddenly came from his side: "I'll send you."

Lu Yan's car is very stable and fast, at least twice as fast as the ferry car. When stopping at the gate of the training base, the time in the car's display just arrived at 7.25 am, leaving work requirements There are five minutes left and I am not late.

It was just when he got off the Lu Yan car that An Zhe felt that those who also came to work at the training base looked at him.

Anyway, it was not the first time to see it. Anzhe came to the credit card gate at the door, and one after another came over, using the ID card to open the gate, and entered.

Anze paused-he found something.

There were footsteps behind him, and he turned back and saw Lu Yan standing near him, raising his eyebrows, looking at himself.

An Zhe: "... Ka also forgot to bring it."

I heard Lu Yan "snap" gently.

Two long fingers clasped the blue ID card and placed it on the sensor. A "drop" sounded and the gate opened.

It was Lu Yan who used his ID card to help him open the gate.

At the same time, the colonel sounded in his ear with a slight disapproval.

"so stupid."
