An Zhe came to the first floor corridor and the atmosphere here was even more solemn. An Zhe remembered the patrolling judge telling him to go back early and he hurriedly returned to the Trial Court. The doctor was tapping on his laptop in the corridor and saw him. “You’re finally back. Where did you go?”

An Zhe replied, “I went out for a walk.”

He sat next to the doctor. Dr Ji was a very gentle person and in the past few days, they had developed a good relationship.

“Don’t run around,” the doctor told him. “At least, not today.”

An Zhe inquired, “What happened?”

The doctor looked away from the computer screen toward him. Dr Ji’s face was slightly tired and his lips were pale. There seemed to be an endless deep emotion in his blue eyes that weren’t positive. He pushed a bottle of water in front of An Zhe. “Are you thirsty?”

An Zhe shook his head. He was fine. Although mushrooms were existences that needed water, today his spore had returned to his body and he felt very stable. The demand for water didn’t seem so urgent.

“Every aspect is in short supply. Forget food and water, even the oxygen isn’t enough.” He heard the doctor whisper. “By today at the latest, the military will transfer people. If you came back late, you would’ve missed the transfer and could only stay here.”

An Zhe had some doubts.

“Where will the transfer be to?” He had thought the Lighthouse was the last refuge.

The doctor fixed his eyes on the empty wall in front of him. “The Garden of Eden.”

“There is a crops growing centre, a stable food supply and a large amount of pure water reserves. All the base’s resources are there.” The doctor explained.

Having said that, he smiled. “The name ‘Garden of Eden’ is aptly named. Now it really is the last Eden.”

“There had been voices of opposition when the Garden of Eden was originally built. Crop growing, drinking water supply, growing children… they protested that concentrating so many resources necessary for human survival in one place would bring great risks, even if it was extremely beneficial to Eden.” The doctor lowered his voice. “However, facts always proved that the base’s ability is limited. In the fact of a huge disaster, all human resources can only be concentrated in the Garden of Eden. We must sacrifice everything to protect it. If the Garden of Eden doesn’t exist then humanity will no longer exist.”

An Zhe understood what the doctor meant. The Garden of Eden was a place for mothers and children. He looked at the doctor and asked, “Is everybody going?”
