41, Chapter 41
Lu Feng glanced at him indifferently, but did not answer the question directly, but said: "Huh?"
An Zhe saw that he seemed reluctant to answer, but after thinking about the possible clues, he still mustered up the courage and said, "There is something approaching you..."
Lu Feng raised his eyebrows: "Nothing comes close to me."
An Zhe: "The doctor just said——"
"I went to see a project." Lu Feng said casually, "Nothing else."
An Zhe was furious with this person. He wanted to ask Lu Feng what project he had gone to see, but this person kept saying that he had done nothing.
"A laboratory called him." The doctor returned to the monitoring equipment. "Working normally, he will come back after cooperating. But he may have to go there a few more times."
After that, the doctor began to focus on studying the previous video of Simon.
Lu Feng's way of thinking was difficult to understand. Even if he didn't grasp the key point, the doctor actually didn't answer the question. Anzhe didn't get any news. He sat next to Lily, feeling restless. He was frustrated because he didn't get the answer, and he hated himself.
Because he was afraid of revealing his identity and couldn't ask too obviously, he even considered waiting for Lu Feng to go and then follow him.
I heard Lu Feng beside me say calmly: "Concentrate on your work."
An Zhe: "..."
At five o'clock in the afternoon, it was time for Lily to go back. After she went back, Simon stopped knocking on the wall soberly and started bumping around in the cell. An Zhe briefly recorded what happened today, and the doctor told him that he could go back.
.
An Zhe looked at Lu Feng.
Lu Feng said: "I'll stay here."
The doctor said: "He is on duty tonight."
An Zhe: "...Oh."
Various experiments are carried out in the lighthouse, and most of them are related to the research of alien species. Sometimes staff may be infected due to improper operation or accidents, so the Tribunal also has permanent personnel at the lighthouse.
Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that things were a little difficult to handle.
He didn't have an ID card and couldn't go back to his home, and if Lu Feng didn't go back, he would have nowhere to go.
Thinking of this, Lu Feng took out the ID card from the breast pocket of his uniform and gave it to him: "Go back by yourself."
An Zhe took it and said, "Thank you."
Doctor: "Tsk."
Anzhe: "Are you having dinner here?"
Lu Feng continued to look at the armaments manual and said calmly: "Yeah."
An Zhe asked: "What to eat?"
"The compressed nutritional granules newly invented by the laboratory next door and the Garden of Eden," the doctor said while typing on the keyboard, "are only for internal use within the lighthouse."
At this point, he typed the keyboard a little harder: "It's the most disgusting thing I've ever eaten in my life."
An Zhe stood there and thought for a moment.
He realized that the ventilation pipes were nothing and the lighthouse was nothing. The only person who was really related to finding the spores was Lu Feng.
He said to Lu Feng: "Do you want me to bring you food?"
Lu Feng looked up at him, his cold eyes showing no emotion.
An Zhe saw that he happened to turn to the page of "pl1109" fighter plane.
Lu Feng didn't answer, and An Zhe whispered, "Then I'll bring it to you."
"Tsk." The doctor said again.
The doctor said: "I want it too."
Lu Feng: "You didn't."
The doctor turned to Anzhe and said, "I want to drink tomato soup."
An Zhe: "Maybe not."
He didn't lie. The food supply in the living area, except for potatoes, varies every day - it depends on the output of Eden Garden at that time.
However, today’s ingredients do contain tomatoes.
An Zhe stopped in front of the tomato container and hesitated for a while.
——Then he turned around and turned to the crisper opposite where the mushrooms were placed.
He remembered having dinner with Lu Feng yesterday. Lu Feng chose mushroom soup from the same three portions of potato soup, tomato soup and mushroom soup served in the public canteen that night. Although his choice made Anzhe feel a little uncomfortable, but
…
He struggled in place for two minutes and finally took out two portions of mushrooms.
The mushrooms cultivated at the base are gray-white, with round stipes and soft umbrella caps. He often comes here to buy things, and the staff in the food area already recognized them and asked, "Make mushrooms tonight?"
"Hmm." An Zhe asked, "Do you need any other materials?"
Under the guidance of the staff, Anzhe went back with fresh meat and a seasoning package. He swiped Lu Feng's card. Originally, the amount of these ingredients would make him feel huge, but compared with the balance, it turned out to be huge.
It's insignificant.
An Zhe picked up the knife, took a deep breath, and started to cut the mushrooms. They were very soft and split into two halves. The mushroom soup also took much less time than other soups - the boiling water will cook until the mushrooms are cooked.
After slicing the fresh chicken bones, put the ingredients in the package, and then added the mushrooms. After a while, a light and fragrant smell came to the surface. He folded the lid of the pressure cooker, set the time, and left the kitchen.
He had nothing to do, so he added water to the roses in the colonel's room, tidied the room, and turned on the TV in the living room.
It was now time to play the news. When the screen appeared, An Zhe saw a familiar figure.
——Hubbard, the mercenary captain who once ordered a doll from Boss Xiao. He also helped Boss Xiao obtain Lu Feng's information.
At that time, if he had not already led the team to go on another mission, I am afraid that he would have been involved in the crime.
"The mercenary recall work is currently proceeding smoothly. This morning, all members of the AR137 mercenary team returned to the base. This is the only team other than the base military that can perform six-star missions. They brought back precious samples and the latest information from the outside world.
According to the news, our reporter interviewed Mr. Hubbard, the captain of AR137."
On the screen, Hubbard was wearing field equipment and had just gotten off an armored vehicle. A reporter was interviewing him.
"Mr. Hubbard, welcome back."
Hubbard: "Thank you."
A staff member next to them was guiding them to check their blood and said: "You are welcome to the main city."
"Thank you." Hubbard said: "I am surprised by the situation at the base."
The reporter asked: "Your return date is slightly later than other mercenary teams. Did you encounter difficulties along the way?"
"No." Hubbard's answer was brief: "The signal is not good, we just received the recall message."
The reporter smiled: "Which area are you coming back from?"
"Outskirts of the abyss."
"How are things there now?"
"Monster forms are more changeable."
"The abyss is indeed a very scary place. What did you bring back from there?"
"specimen."
"Thank you for your contribution to the base." the reporter said.
"You're welcome."
An Zhe felt that Hubbard could compete with Lu Feng in terms of talking less, but his eyes were not as good-looking as Lu Feng's.
The screen cut back to the news host: "As far as we know, the returning mercenary team will be included in the military establishment after their merits are calculated and they will continue to serve the base."
After this news was broadcast, there were a few insignificant news. There were not many things worth reporting in the main city every day. Most of the time, the host was broadcasting new progress in lighthouse scientific research, professional terms and terminology
It was a lot, making Anzhe drowsy.
The pressure cooker in the kitchen beeped, freeing An Zhe. After opening the lid, a rich aroma hit his face. The soup had become very thick and had a long texture. Snow-white mushrooms were looming in the soup.
, he tried to take a sip, and felt satisfied. He happily put the soup for three people into a thermos, planning to take it to the lighthouse.
But the next moment he walked out of the kitchen door, he was stunned.
On the news screen, there was a silver laboratory surrounded by complex machinery, and in the center of the laboratory was a cylindrical glass water tank filled with light green clear liquid.
In this water tank, which is as tall as a person, there is only a small white thing floating quietly in the center.
An Zhe opened his eyes wide and took three steps at a time to reach the TV screen - at exactly this moment, the camera zoomed in, giving a close-up of the small white thing.
A snow-white, soft mass, its main body is like a cloud floating in the water, the same size as the mushrooms used in cooking today.
In addition, the tiny snow-white mycelium also stretched out, soaked in the water, and swayed gently as it floated in the water.
Anzhe almost stopped breathing.
He would never mistake his spores - even though they seemed to have grown a little bigger than when they left him.
An Zhe raised his hand, his fingers trembling a little, and they were pressed against the cold screen of the TV, as if he were touching the surface of the glass water tank, and the snow-white thing was only separated from him by a glass wall. But the next moment
, the newscaster’s voice broke this illusion: “Four months ago, the abnormal fungal samples collected by the trial court were listed as first-level observation objects. Fungi, as a special type of eukaryotic organisms, have never appeared before.
It is a variation that is separated from the basic form of the species. Therefore, Lighthouse believes that this sample has valuable research value. Perhaps through the study of the sample, the process and principle of biological infection variation can be revealed."
An Zhe frowned, his spores were indeed used for research.
Immediately, the newscaster added: "According to the researchers, the sample has been in a semi-dead state for the past four months. However, in the past two days, it has regained activity and increased in size. This is an amazing thing."
Exciting news…”
An Zhe's heart was beating loudly.
——He knows that Spore also recognizes him.
Otherwise, why did he start to grow up only during the two days he had been staying at the lighthouse? The spore sensed him, and it must want to come back to him.
The announcer continued: "The laboratory contacted the Inquisition and confirmed that the sample was growing in a direction similar to the original subject."
At the same time, on the screen, spores were swaying and floating in one direction. An Zhe thought that this must be the direction of the laboratory where he was, and the spores wanted to find him.
The next second, a figure appeared next to the glass water tank. His body was outside the screen, and there was only a blurry reflection. It was unknown who he was.
An Zhe wanted this person to stay away from his spores.
On the contrary, the man stretched out his hand and lightly touched the surface of the water tank with his fingertips. His fingers were slender and the joints were very graceful. An Zhe frowned, the shape of this hand was very familiar to him.
This man's sleeves were also familiar to him, as were the silver buttons.
An grinded his teeth and confirmed that the person who tried to touch the spores was undoubtedly the bad guy Lu Feng.
However, at this moment, the spore floated in front of the bad thing, its white and soft mycelium stretched out, and lightly touched his finger through the water tank.
An Zhe: "?"
