Little Mushroom

Silence often means facing a crucial choice.

To save, or not to save.

"Can you still contact the dungeon?" A voice broke the silence.

"No reply."

"The meeting in the first meeting room is over. With the existing resources, if the survival of the whole city is guaranteed, it can last for three to ten days."

"Isn't it guaranteed that the whole city will survive?"

"Only guarantee the resource supply of the Twin Towers and the Garden of Eden for fifteen to thirty days, regardless of climate factors."

"In extreme cases, the core personnel are transferred to the underground shelter of the Garden of Eden, and long-term survival can be considered."

"There is still a little hope."

Silence again.

Finally, someone asked, "Can you save me?"

The lieutenant general looked around the room.An Zhe listened to the broadcast calling for the meeting, and he knew that the room was full of the highest-ranking officers from the command office, the staff department, and the combat center. on the front line.

However, even An Zhe knew how dangerous the front line would be this time.What would bring the most well-equipped human base to the brink of collapse, unable to hold even an artificial magnetic pole?

Perhaps when the reinforcements arrived there, it would have become a dead city.Perhaps before arriving at the destination, the team crashed in a storm, fell to the ground, or in the Pacific Ocean.Or, the northern base used its own armament storage to help the dungeon base, so that the next time the aliens jointly attacked here, they would lose the ability to resist.

In the long silence, An Zhe heard Lu Feng beside him say, "I'll go."

The lieutenant general looked at him for a long time.

"You are the best candidate," he said.

An Zhe looked at Lu Feng, he knew why the lieutenant general said that Lu Feng was the best candidate.

In different areas on the same continent, there are still huge differences between monsters. However, the northern base and the dungeon base are separated by a Pacific Ocean, and the habits and fighting methods of the monsters there may be completely unknown.

Who can best adapt to this unknown?

—A person who often goes to the abyss.The monsters of the abyss are chaotic and crazy, and almost all the patterns of mutation can be traced in them.

At this time, another officer said: "I am good at commanding large-scale joint operations, apply to go."

"The captain of AR137," Lu Feng said, "Correspondent, please ask him if he is willing to go."

"Mr. Hubbard agrees to go."

The meeting was over, and when he left here, the lieutenant general called Lu Feng to stop him.

"Who will undertake the work of the Tribunal?"

"My adjutant."

"Can he?"

"can."

After going out, Seran came over. The working area of ​​the trial court is in this building. He whispered: "Colonel."

Lu Feng responded lightly.

In the dim light, Seran's eye sockets were a little red.Lu Feng left, he still has a lot of things to prepare.

Seran asked him to rest in the Inquisition's office.On the way, An Zhe made an excuse to go out, and he climbed up to the 13th floor. The light at the door of D1344 was still on, and there were voices of researchers inside.An Zhe lowered his head. His body as a mushroom was too fragile and soft, and he couldn't rush in after all.He returned to the lobby on the first floor.

People came and went in the hall, and Seran came to him.An Zhe didn't speak, he quietly watched all this happen.Busy, people walking back and forth, radio constantly ringing, lights flickering and intermittent electricity supply.All this is happening very quickly, and the fate of humanity is as fickle as the aurora in the sky.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the equipment center reported that the task had been completed.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the logistics supply office reported that the task had been completed.

At one o'clock in the morning, the overhaul of PL1109 was completed, and the formation of fighter jets set sail.

The dull rumbling sound came from afar. The ground command needed a wide view. The separation wall rose, and the hot rays and gusts of wind paved the way. Everyone retreated to the safe area deep in the hall.A row of lights lit up in the distance, and An Zhe tried to look there. The lights on the wings and nose outlined the huge silhouette of the fighter. Three PL1109 fighters and a whole flight formation were driving steadily.

PL1109, An Zhe knows it.The masterpiece of human science and technology, full radiation shielding shell, independent cruise system without magnetic field guidance, human beings have long predicted and prepared for the coming disaster, but no one knows the effect of this prediction and preparation.

And he finally knew why the roads of the base were repaired so smooth, solid, and wide.A military base closely connected to the city center, a huge buffer zone, aprons and runways everywhere... 100 years ago, people devoted all their resources to build it.All of this is not because of beauty or order, but because everything in the main city of this human base is to deal with possible wars,

Another gate opened, and several officers in black combat uniforms came out.

Among the few people, An Zhe could see Lu Feng at a glance—this man's figure was tall and straight, with clean and neat lines, which was different from the superior elegance and coldness of the judge's uniform. Seems casual, which magnifies that bad-ass quality about him.

But An Zhe didn't plan to call him a bad thing tonight, Lu Feng is a very good human being.

Lu Feng walked towards him with his original uniform jacket in his arms, and Seran took it.

"Follow Seran, don't run around." Lu Feng looked at An Zhe and said.

He said to Seran again: "Take care of him."

Although it was a few simple words, An Zhe always felt that he could hear a threat from it, as if he would be punished if he ran around.

He frowned and looked up at the man.

Lu Feng stretched out his hand and rubbed An Zhe's hair carelessly.

His eyes were not as indifferent or harsh as usual, and An Zhe even felt that they were a little soft.

This person made up his mind to go to the dungeon base on the other side of the world.An Zhe felt that he should say something, such as asking him to pay attention to safety, or take care of himself... and so on.

He opened his mouth, and felt that the colonel was probably used to this kind of life, and he seemed to be able to handle everything without warning.

In the end, An Zhe only said: "...I cooked mushroom soup tonight."

No matter how good the thermos is, it is not as delicious as when it is boiling hot.

There was a slight smile in Lu Feng's eyes.

"Thank you." He said, "Come back and do it for me."

Those eyes—the eyes as bright as the glimmer of fireflies in the deepest part of the summer night forest looked at An Zhe.

He seemed to bend slightly, and for a moment, An Zhe felt that Lu Feng wanted to get close to him, but that feeling was fleeting.

"Maybe I won't come back." Lu Feng said in a hoarse voice, "Take care of yourself."

An Zhe let out a "hmm", he watched Lu Feng turn around, leave here without looking back, and walk into the temporary boarding bridge.

This was the first time he watched Lu Feng's back go away, and he couldn't remember.He didn't know why this man was always able to move forward, he could shoot at his compatriots without hesitation, and he could sacrifice his own life at any time.

Outside, sandstorms came along with the strong wind, and the night covered them, making the flying dust and gravel look like a boundless night fog—in this vast night and moonlight, the humming of the engine sounded, and the whole body was pitch black The PL1109 fighter plane set sail smoothly.

Its wings spread out like a huge flying bird. In An Zhe's line of sight, the farther it got, the higher it became, the smaller it became. It turned into an invisible black spot, and finally disappeared into the brilliant galaxy across the sky.

There was a distant bang, a sonic boom, and the fighter plane accelerated again.

An Zhe couldn't find it at all.

Everyone looked up at the boundless night sky. In the hall, there was a solemn silence. After a long time, people dispersed.

An Zhe was still standing there, soft footsteps sounded behind him, it was Seran.

"I sometimes wonder why the colonel chose me as his successor, and what qualities and principles he thinks a judge should have." Seran said, "Now I think, contrary to what people think, it's not coldness, it's kindness."

"The interests of mankind are above all else. It is not the kindness to one person, but the kindness to the fate of mankind as a whole. This is the source of unshakable belief." Seran's voice was very soft and hoarse: "I sincerely hope that 100 Years from now, people won't have to face what we're facing now, if there were human beings."

An Zhe didn't speak, he looked up at the starry night sky, a boundless and brilliant ocean.

Seran's general uniform was draped over him.

"When the aurora shines again, the colonel will be back."
