Chapter 79 Chapter 79
"What are you thinking about?" Dr. Ji walked behind Lu Feng. Lu Feng stood in front of the laboratory window, with the brightly lit Garden of Eden and the Twin Towers in front of him.
As he got closer, he realized that the colonel was not aimlessly in a daze - the man was playing with the communicator, and the still-lit screen stayed on the contact interface. He caught a glimpse of an unfamiliar name.
"Who is this?" Dr. Ji stood next to him and raised his eyebrows: "Do you have friends that I don't know about?"
Lu Feng didn't answer, and Dr. Ji didn't get to the bottom of it - it was normal for questions to go unanswered in front of the colonel.
When he said this, the small snow-white spore came out of Lu Feng's collar. It seemed that he looked at him carefully, and then quickly went back and hid it.
"It's so small." Dr. Ji said with a smile.
Lu Feng pulled it out. The spore, which had grown to the size of a palm, was now only the size of a date stone. It tried its best to hide itself in Lu Feng's hand, as if it was extremely afraid of Dr. Ji.
"I won't cut you today." Dr. Ji said, "You have become too small. Be good. I will cut you when you grow up."
Lu Feng gave Dr. Ji a cold look.
Dr. Ji crossed his arms and said leisurely: "I can't cut you, so why are you so fierce?"
Over the past few days, the base has realized that it is completely impossible to analyze the reason why this spore is inert using existing biological technology. They have resorted to the next best thing, or in other words, they can only break the pot and focus all researchers elsewhere.
In one direction, today, a method of making mycelium extract was finally developed. After the extract was obtained, it was diluted, and they planned to pour it on the surface of important equipment - using this simple method, it was expected that the inert spores would become inert.
The extraction liquid, the inert extraction liquid creates a protective layer, or simply transfers inertness to the equipment, so that the equipment is no longer afraid of infection. After all, after the distortion begins, even glass and wood can infect each other. In this case, the extraction liquid will also
Can infect other substances.
——They even decided to immediately send twenty liters of diluent to the dungeon base by plane.
In this regard, the top management of the lighthouse laughed at themselves, saying that science has failed and we are actually planning to use unintelligible witchcraft.
Dr. Ji stretched out his hand and said, "Let me play with it."
Of course he got nothing. Lu Feng didn't even look at him.
But Dr. Ji still stared at the bit of white hyphae exposed by the spores and said: "Tomorrow we can produce another liter of extraction solution."
Lu Feng closed his fingers, and the spores were not even exposed to the hyphae.
"Don't be like this." Dr. Ji said: "Although you have a good relationship, you don't treat me like a son. Colonel Lu, have you noticed that since you came back from the wild, you are not so emotionally lacking."
Lu Feng still said nothing, and only Dr. Ji chattered in the room. He always became talkative when he was nervous. Over the past month, the number of words he spoke has been rising sharply.
It wasn't until three minutes later that he asked: "When will you start using the extraction solution?"
"The lighthouse is still being discussed because we cannot rule out the possibility that after the distortion begins, all matter will start to merge equally. At that time, it may pass on inertia to us, or it may turn all our equipment into one
Mushrooms that have lost any function."
Lu Feng's cold voice finally sounded, as if covered with a layer of frost: "If this is possible, why use it?"
"Your Inquisition likes to kill all possibilities of bad things, but the situation is different now. You know, the situation can't be worse than it is now. There will be another meeting, and the Beacon can determine whether to use it or not."
"What exactly is inertia?" Lu Feng asked.
"No infection."
The spores came out of Lu Feng's hand, swishing along the fabric of the uniform and crawling under the epaulette on the side of Lu Feng away from the doctor.
Lu Feng turned slightly sideways. This subtle movement revealed something on the windowsill.
A small vial with a label reading "MIX-III" in handwriting. Next to the vial is a blank syringe.
Dr. Ji's eyes paused.
"What do you do with the mixed xenogeneic extract?" he said, "Don't touch things in the laboratory, it's very dangerous."
Lu Feng looked at him and said something that was indeed in no way related to their current topic: "When we were in the underground city base, there was no magnetic field, and non-contact infection and distortion were taking place."
The doctor didn't follow his train of thought for a moment and just nodded.
"Many of the soldiers who went into the dungeon with me to assist were infected, but I was not." Lu Feng said.
The doctor seemed to understand what he wanted to say. He stopped talking and looked at him quietly.
"If the spores are inert, then An Zhe will also be inert." Lu Feng said.
Dr. Ji nodded.
"But he can change between mushroom and human forms, and in human form, there are no abnormalities in genetic testing." He said calmly: "If I have been infected by him and acquired inertia, you won't be able to tell from any aspect."
"Yes, I admit it. We also thought about this at the beginning." Dr. Ji said: "But what's the point? It's precisely because we can't detect this infection at all that we took the decision to spray the extraction solution on a large scale.
Until the day when full-scale distortion occurs, we will know whether the extract can protect humans."
"But we also face the risk of all turning into fungi." Lu Feng said.
"So?" The doctor looked at him, as if he had some unknown premonition, and his tone became aggressive.
"Use the monster extract to infect me. If I am still human after twelve hours, it proves that An Zhe has given me the inert infection without any adverse reactions. The extract can be used."
The doctor looked at him without any surprise, as if he had already guessed that this person would say such things. He looked at Lu Feng, shook his head and said, "Why you?"
"I have been with him for a long time. I also stayed with him during the abnormal period of indiscriminate infection after the incident in the underground city base." Lu Feng said calmly: "If he can infect others, then it is most likely
I am the one who is infected."
"It's me." Dr. Ji sneered. He looked directly at Lu Feng, approached him, and raised his voice: "After the incident in the dungeon, you only stayed with him for a while and then left. It was me who was with him all the time. Let's sleep together."
In the same room. He is as good as a kitten, and I am inseparable from him. I have many close contacts with him that you don’t want to know about - if you can be infected by him, why can’t I?”
"You still have many tasks," Lu Feng said without being aroused by his words, "We can't take this risk."
"You clearly know that this is a risk, right?" The doctor became angry, took a few breaths, and said loudly to him: "I can't take this risk, so you can take it? Sacrificing yourself is so worth it to you.
Something to commemorate?”
Lu Feng didn't say anything. Dr. Ji grabbed the liquid bottle from the window sill. The mouth of the bottle had been opened. He inserted the needle tip with vicious movements, lifted the injection handle upward, and quickly filled the syringe.
"If you insist on doing experiments, then I can only do it." He held the syringe, his blue eyes filled with ice, and spoke very fast: "You have done too many things, you have to fucking
Give me life."
Lu Feng did not stop any of his actions, he just watched quietly, his cold green eyes like a lake with no waves.
He reached out and lifted up his sleeves.
A blood spot on the vein of the wrist represents what has been injected.
"After twelve hours, if I'm fine, you can use the extraction solution."
The doctor stood there, his chest rising and falling rapidly, and he stared at Lu Feng.
"You... you..." His eyes turned red with anger, and his voice was as hoarse and sharp as glass being rubbed: "You are a hopeless... self-mutilating patient."
At this moment, the piercing sound of the communicator rang. Before he could catch his breath, the doctor picked up the communication. After just three seconds, his expression changed.
After hanging up the phone, he looked solemn: "We have observed minor distortion again. We have raised the magnetic field strength to the maximum. The magnetic field defense line will collapse soon. I will go to hold an emergency meeting. It will take about an hour. You stay here.
Don’t go anywhere.”
After that, he hurried to the door.
"Wait a minute." Lu Feng called him, and Dr. Ji stopped. He was still angry and did not turn around.
Behind the scenes, Lu Feng asked: "Will An Zhe not be affected by the distortion?"
"Aberration is an enhancement of infection. It has the same nature. He is not afraid of infection and most likely will not be afraid of aberration."
"Thanks."
The doctor slammed the door and went out.
Lu Feng typed a few words on the communicator interface.
The total collapse of the magnetic field occurred within this hour.
Outside the base, on the surrounding fields, the howls of monsters suddenly sounded. It seemed that they had been dormant for a long time, and finally waited for this opportunity, and rushed towards the base like a tide.
After the doctor came out of the conference room, he hurried towards the laboratory, followed by two soldiers.
"Dr. Ji, please come with us as soon as possible."
"The military is unable to protect the entire base. Currently, drones have observed that the monster wave is advancing here. In the end, we can only use the artificial magnetic pole as the only defensive position."
"I have to bring something." Dr. Ji said, "Give me five minutes."
"Besides, your Colonel Lu is also in the laboratory."
"Please evacuate with us immediately. The military has ordered that after the personnel evacuate to the center of the magnetic pole, Colonel Lu's presence will further aggravate the chaos of the crowd. Therefore, you can consider-"
The emergency alarm has sounded, and the harsh buzzer and red light are connected together. This is the highest level of wartime alarm, reminding people to evacuate to safety immediately. In the corridor, there is a chaos of war, and the howling of monsters in the distant wilderness
The sound was clearly audible, and the experimenters and soldiers in white coats were in a mess.
The laboratory door is near.
A look of disbelief suddenly appeared in Dr. Ji's eyes.
——The door to the laboratory was wide open. He was so carried away before leaving that he forgot to lock the door.
He strode inside and saw a soldier with a black strip of cloth tied to his right arm holding a gun and aiming at a figure standing in front of the window sill.
His pupils shrank suddenly - the black cloth on his right arm was a symbol of the anti-trial movement.
The communicator lit up, but he couldn't care anymore and shouted loudly: "Lu Feng!"
The sound was followed by the sound of a gunshot.
The figure by the window shook, and fell to the ground with a dull sound.
The soldier with the gun was quickly controlled by the two soldiers who came with him. Dr. Ji strode in and bypassed the heavy experimental equipment. He half-knelt in front of Lu Feng's fallen body. He was still shaking just now. At this time
But his eyes were cold.
A soldier handcuffed the shooter and walked towards him.
"No need to come." Dr. Ji's voice sounded coldly in the laboratory: "Colonel Lu is confirmed dead."
pl1109, engine room.
Hubbard leaned against the cabin wall. He and Lu Feng were not very good friends.
——But it seems that it can be regarded as a life-long friendship.
"How does it feel to be under house arrest?" he asked.
Lu Feng curled his lips slightly: "It's okay."
An officer next to him said: "We all came back from the underground city base together, Colonel Lu. We promise not to report you to the military."
"No need to thank them." Hubbard wiped the gun in his hand: "It's just a monster siege. We have to participate in the battle again. You are experienced in fighting the enemy, and everyone can see it."
What Hubbard was wiping - it was a silver semi-automatic gun, all silver, and his fingers rested on the butt - there was a scratch here, with a series of letters "tang" vaguely engraved on it.
His eyes stayed on this string of letters.
The officer next to him asked: "Who is this?"
"A friend," Hubbard said, "I've known him for thirty-three years."
"Really long."
Hubbard looked at that word for a long time and then smiled: "It's a pity."
"Why?"
"We were born together, but we didn't die together in the end."
"How can such a good thing happen?"
"……yes."
Lu Feng folded his arms and watched their conversation. His eyelashes were half-closed and he could not see any emotions. Naturally, others did not expect the judge to empathize with their emotions.
Until Hubbard discovered something.
"Where's your gun?" he asked.
Lu Feng said: "Give it away."
Hubbard smiled, he seemed to understand everything. Compared with the military's standard supplies, the mercenary captain was rich. He took out a black pistol and handed it to Lu Feng.
In an instant, he whispered: "I will live."
