This little thing wasn’t fully matured and hadn’t inherited his ability to move freely. An Zhe reached out a hand. His arms and fingers turned into white mycelium that descended the inner wall of the container and touched the spore.

At this moment, it was like a current penetrated his body and he was reborn. He had taken back a part of himself and there was a strange fluctuation around him.

Holding the spore, he carefully fished it all. All the spore’s scattered mycelium were neatly connected and rolled between his mycelium.

An Zhe smiled at it. His mycelium connected with the spore and carefully incorporated it into his body. The spore’s body was completely integrated into his body and a euphoric emotion passed through him. The spore had finally returned to the place where it should be raised. The human’s culture fluid was useless. It was only the nutrition in An Zhe’s body that would allow it to grow until it matured.

This time, there was no bad thing to dig it away, although An Zhe didn’t know why the spore took the initiative to approach that guy.

In fact, it was a good thing the spore hadn’t approached An Zhe when he was in the laboratory the other day. Once it showed a tendency to approach him, the researchers would immediately observe him and his identity would be doubted. Thus, An Zhe one-sidedly decided that his spore was extraordinarily smart.

Thanks to the return of the spore, the empty space in his body was finally refilled. All his uneasiness fell to the ground. It was a feeling beyond description, like he had gained a new life. An Zhe walked to the window, pressed the button and raised the steel sheet.

The glare of the light came in and he squinted. Outside, there was wind and sand. In the golden morning, a bright red sun shone intensely.

An Zhe slowly turned his head, looking at the silver-white laboratory where machines were placed side by side. The wires were clear and the test tube racks in the cabinets were neatly arranged. From this laboratory, he could imagine what the entire base looked like.

This was the base of humanity. Its past, present and future had nothing to do with him.

His hands gripped the edge of the window, knuckles white as he pushed open the clear, three-layered glass window.

The window had only been opened to the size of a finger when a hot wind covered with gravel blew over his fingers. The strong wind from the outside was filled with radiation from the universe. The huge wave contained countless tiny ripples and An Zhe seemed to hear the Abyss calling him back.

He could go, leave here and return to the Abyss. It was equally cruel outside and he didn’t know if he could survive, but he had recovered his spore. He wasn’t afraid of anything.
