Little Mushroom

After the train traveled at high speed for 10 minutes, the city had been completely left behind. After Lu Feng withdrew his right hand, An Zhe saw a thick cloud in the direction when he came. within his line of sight.

He didn't say anything. After staring quietly for dozens of seconds, he returned to his original position and sat down.

At the moment when he got into the car, he was still thinking about using the communicator to tell Boss Xiao where he was going after the communication was restored, but now it seems unnecessary.

He rested his chin and looked outside, and there was a black figure in his peripheral vision. Lu Feng sat down on the seat next to him, and the young judge who had been following him was also seated beside him.

"Colonel, news from the trial court." He said: "The trial court evacuated 21 people, 9 people died, 4 people were infected, and they were killed."

Lu Feng said, "Where's the city defense station?"

"There is no data for now."

Then, there was no sound from the side.An Zhe has been looking out the window—but there is nothing worth seeing outside the window. In the rain and fog, only the empty concrete floor can be seen.

This is a buffer zone. From the city gate to the outer city, and even between each area of ​​the outer city, there is a huge buffer zone without any buildings. The purpose is that in the event of alien invasion or large-scale war, the existence of the buffer zone can Gain valuable quick response time for the military, so as not to let the alien species rush directly into densely populated residential areas.

After a while, there was a sound in the carriage. It was Colin who had fainted briefly before regaining consciousness. He got up from the aisle, returned to his original position and sat down. His face was pale, his head was lowered, and he took out a black pair from his pocket. The framed glasses were wiped repeatedly with the corner of his clothes, and he never spoke again.At this moment, An Zhe felt that this boy was different from the one he saw for the first time.

He turned around and looked at Lu Feng.

At this moment, Lu Feng also retracted from Ke Lin and looked at him.

Looking at each other, An Zhe grabbed the corner of his clothes anxiously.

Lu Feng only glanced at him indifferently, and then looked away.An Zhe felt that Lu Feng was very strange at this time - even though they slept in the same bed last night.

After thinking about it, An Zhe said, "What do you do next?"

Lu Yan said: "Depending on the courses you have studied, you may teach children to read."

"how about you?"

Lu Feng said: "Listen to the main city's arrangement."

An Zhe mustered up his courage: "Will you go to the lighthouse?"

——He knew that the spores would most likely be in the lighthouse.

Lu Feng glanced at him.

An Zhe thought it was like looking at a mentally retarded person.

"I belong to the military." Lu Feng said, "The next task is to recover the dispersal center."

An Zhe: "...Oh."

He whispered: "Then you go on."

Lu Feng looked at him quietly for a few seconds and said, "Thank you."

After that, they didn't talk anymore, and An Zhe inexplicably felt that the colonel might not be in the mood to talk.

After another ten minutes, the train arrived at the station, and Lu Feng walked towards the front of the train.

At the same time, the announcement sounded in the car: "Passengers, to ensure the safety of the main city, please queue up for the second inspection."

The people in the car started to line up, An Zhe and Ke Lin were at the end. The second test was a genetic test using a machine, and the tester was still the young doctor with blond hair and blue eyes in a white coat.After he and Colin each had a tube of blood drawn, the doctor started the machine and said, "Wait for 5 minutes."

An Zhe obediently pressed the place where his blood was drawn with a cotton swab, and stood aside.The doctor smiled: "It's you again."

An Zhe: "Hello."

"The inquisitor actually brought someone here for genetic testing, tsk." The doctor said, "Our entire testing office was surprised."

An Zhe said: "He now believes that I am human."

"He might just want to find fault." The doctor shrugged: "People in the trial court always have some mental problems."

An Zhe said, "He's okay."

The doctor gave him an admiring look: "You are the first person I have ever seen speak for Colonel Lu."

As he said that, the doctor's eyes moved to his left arm again: "Injured?"

An Zhe noticed that because of the relatively large range of movements, the cuff buttons were pulled up, and the bandage wrapped around his left arm was exposed.

An Zhe: "Yes."

"It's time to change the dressing." The doctor lifted the medical kit beside him and pulled out a new roll of bandage: "I'll change it for you."

The doctor seemed to be an easy-going and kind person, An Zhe whispered: "Thank you."

The doctor untied his original bandage, and said casually, "This knot is well tied."

An Zhe thought for a while, but didn't say anything. He decided not to tell the doctor that it was Lu Feng who entangled him, otherwise the testing department might be surprised again—they seemed to think that Lu Feng was the kind of bad guy who had no bottom line.

As soon as this thought came out, An Zhe suddenly frowned.

At this moment, he seemed to understand why Lu Feng didn't talk to others much.The position of judge is destined to be like this.

Just as he was thinking like this, he heard Colin next to him whisper, "Doctor."

The doctor bandaged An Zhe and looked at him: "Huh?"

"Now that the outer city has completely fallen, there is no need for the Tribunal to exist." Ke Lin said, "Can we know the reason why the Tribunal made the judgment?"

An Zhe thought, Ke Lin deserves to be a staunch opposition party.

"Why do you want to know?" The doctor leaned on the instrument cart, looked at him with folded arms, and said, "Have any of your family members and friends been killed by Lu Feng?"

"My mother." Colin said: "When she went to the field, she didn't leave the armored vehicle the whole time."

"Although there are few tiny monsters, they are not absent."

"But there was nothing unusual about her appearance or behavior."

"Hmm." The doctor said indifferently: "So? If everyone's relatives have to ask the trial court and the inspection office for an explanation, we won't have any time to ensure the safety of the city gate."

"But it's different now, you have time." Colin raised his voice: "We just want to know the reason."

Looking at him, the doctor smiled.

"You're right, it's different now." The doctor said softly, "You are from the main city now, and you will know a lot of information over time."

He said casually: "Do you think that after being infected——the human body is slowly eroded?"

Colin said, "Otherwise?"

"No." The doctor looked up at the sky: "When an infection occurs, your DNA strand—all DNA structures will change at that moment. Once an infection occurs, a person's fate is doomed."

"Impossible." Colin said: "I have studied biology, the time it takes for the virus to spread, and there will be an incubation period—"

The doctor interrupted him directly.

"Next, the structure of the DNA chain affects the composition of the RNA, and changes in the RNA affect the production of proteins, and the biological characteristics of people begin to change. These things all begin to happen in a short period of time. Your skin, appearance, demeanor, and movements The way, the way of thinking, the language ability...all are changing. All the training that the judge received before becoming a formal judge is how to observe this difference with the naked eye." He smiled and said: "When When the accuracy rate of their identification reaches 80.00%, they can graduate and officially take up their positions. Do you think your superficial observation of human behavior can compare to their more than ten years of training?"

"80.00%." ​​Colin suddenly raised his eyes: "So the Inquisition Court can't completely identify the heterogeneous species. They did use large-scale indiscriminate killings to ensure that they would not be misplaced, right?"

"Unfortunately, I have to tell you something." The doctor looked at him: "Lu Feng's grades back then were [-]%."

Ke Lin stood there in a daze for a few seconds, and said, "...Impossible."

"I hope you don't use mediocre standards to judge the upper limit of other people's abilities, especially after entering the main city." The doctor's tone was light, he was talking to Colin, but his eyes looked at An Zhe: "At least you can test the judgment result Whether it is correct or not, he has never missed a single shot. The testing department is closely connected with the court, and I have seen his assessment results. All the indicators of the judge that year were full marks, but it may not be that he can achieve 100 points. % determine the cause of the heterogeneity."

"He seems to have an innate talent, a kind of intuition." The doctor said: "Back then, after discovering his talent in this area, the testing department had to draw his blood once a month, but unfortunately no results were found. What a result."

"No..." Colin frowned, and said, "This is against science. Intuition cannot be used as a scientific basis, and the infection method you mentioned at the beginning is also—"

There is a short beep, and the machine turns green.

"Your new ID card and communicator, get on the ferry, and the main city will assign you a residence." The doctor handed the two blue chips and the communicator to them. "We will wait for the news of the communicator."

Colin took the things: "But..."

"I know it violates certain principles of biological science, but the scariest thing about this era is—" The doctor looked at him, his blue eyes seemed to be filled with frost, and he paused word by word: "We found that human beings The scientific system is not worth mentioning."
