Footsteps were heard and they entered the building. An Zhe looked up at the right on the upper right side of the building. This was Building 55. Lu Feng’s footsteps didn’t stop as he walked another 30 meters and came in front of Building 56. Building 56—

Something in An Zhe’s heart was touched. He looked up at the sign and then the dark unit door in the middle of the building. This area was close to the isolation gate. The military had started to resettle people in Building 55 and it would soon be Building 56.

Lu Feng’s voice was heard. “Do you want to go in?”

An Zhe shook his head.

Lu Feng’s tone was flat. “Go in if you want.”

An Zhe, “…”

He suspected that the judges and the Judge was trained in mind-reading.

He said, “Let’s go.”

Lu Feng turned and headed for Building 56. An Zhe walked next to him, taking an ID card out of his pocket. There was a series of numbers printed on the card: 3260563209. This represented Room 9, floor 2, unit 3, building 56.

This wasn’t An Zhe’s room or his ID card. It belonged to Vance, the man who took him to the Northern Base. On that day when Vance’s body was carried away, the soldier handed the ID card to An Zhe as a relic and he had been carrying it with him ever since.

An Zhe opened the door with this ID card. It hadn’t expired, indicating that the base hadn’t yet reclaimed the right to use the room. He went in and turned on the light. It was a simple room and the quilt was piled on the bed like the owner had just got up and left. On the table were some household goods, water glasses, cigarette boxes and a lighter. This was Vance’s home.

It had been a month since Vance’s death and An Zhe sometimes remembered him. He kept wondering why Vance still chose to return to the base despite the possibility of infection. However, after witnessing the death and fear of so many people today and passing by Building 56, he felt that he understood Vance in a sense.

He was dominated by his own instincts, risking his life to go deep into the base to find his spore. Humans might not agree with his motive. Unlike monsters dominated by instincts, humans were a species dominated by emotions. They did things that didn’t conform to common sense and didn’t need too many reasons. As long as he understood this, he wouldn’t be confused by the inexplicable behaviour of humans.

An Zhe thought so as he pressed the ID card gently under the cigarette box. He remembered Vance smoking. Having done all this, he turned and left. Lu Feng was leaning on the door frame and waiting for him. His eyes fell on An Zhe like a falling snowflake and seemed different from the past.
