Dr Ji proposed that the spore sample from the Abyss showed unprecedented inertia to infection and distortion. If the mechanism could be studied and applied to humans then humans might also obtain this valuable characteristic. However, this strange spore showed an unusual closeness with the colonel of the Trial Court. Once it came into contact with the colonel, its growth rate and cell viability would increase.

Therefore, Colonel Lu had to cooperate with the research project and the base must also ensure the safety of the colonel, who might be humanity’s last hope.

This was how a colonel surnamed Lu appeared in Dr Ji’s laboratory.

“The end of the expected three months is coming. Although there is no precise evidence, the fate of humanity is counting down.” Dr Ji sat next to Lu Feng and said. “Originally, the main city never cared about the judge system but now they are about to face the trial, just like the outer city. You have to understand that once the magnetic pole is defeated by the distortion, all people are at risk of infection and everyone will face trial. They might all die under your gun. Although the Trial Court hasn’t done anything yet, it has become everyone’s spiritual enemy. The complete distortion will eventually come. They hope that they can be the 1 in 10,000 or 65%. Overthrowing you can allow them to live longer. This has nothing to do with you. Fear of death is a biological instinct.”

At this point, he frowned slightly and whispered, “No matter how much the Trial Court has been forced over the years, not one word about the trial rules have been leaked. I believe you must have a reason for doing so. Still, I want to ask you another question. The data of the fusion faction, did you know it before?”

Lu Feng’s eyes crossed him to stare at the spore floating in the green culture.

Since he was in the room, the spore’s mycelium stretched in a relaxed manner. It grew a bit and the spore was now as big as a person’s palm.

“Are there any results?” Lu Feng asked lightly.

“Unfortunately, no. This little thing is a liar like An Zhe. Now its only function is to act as your shield and I don’t know how long it can block you.” Dr Ji stared into Lu Feng’s eyes.

These eyes—the green eyes. The Northern Base mainly consisted of Asians, although there were some other mixed-races. Therefore, black pupils were common and other colours such as blue or brown weren’t uncommon. However, the frost green was too special. Sometimes the doctor had an illusion that these eyes were some type of inorganic material with no feelings, like the man’s usual gaze.
