“What are you thinking?” Dr Ji walked behind Lu Feng and asked. Lu Feng was standing in front of the laboratory window with the brightly lit Garden of Eden and Twin Towers in front of him.

As he approached, he realized the colonel wasn’t in an aimless daze. The man was playing with the communicator and the bright screen remained on the contact interface. The doctor glanced at the familiar name.

“Hubbard—who is this?” Dr Ji stood beside him and raised an eyebrow. “Do you still have friends I don’t know about?”

Lu Feng didn’t answer and Dr Ji didn’t follow up. In the presence of the colonel, it was normal for questions to not be answered.

As he spoke, the white spore drilled out of Lu Feng’s collar. It seemed to look carefully at the doctor before quickly going back into hiding.

“It’s so small.” Dr Ji chuckled.

Lu Feng scooped it out and placed it on his palm. It was originally the size of a large palm but now it was only the size of a jujube pit. It desperately hid itself on Lu Feng’s hand like it was afraid of Dr Ji.

“I won’t cut you today,” Dr Ji told you. “You have become too small. Be good and eat more nutrient solutions. Grow up and I will cut you.”

Lu Feng sent Dr Ji a cold look.

Dr Ji folded his arms. “I’m not cutting you. Why look so fierce?”

These days, the base had realized that the existing technology was unable to completely analyze why this spore was inert and they retreated. They could only break the jar and concentrate all researchers in another direction. Today, they finally developed a method for making mycelium extract. The extraction solution was diluted and the base intended to pour it on the surface of important equipment. They used this simple method on the premise that the inert spore would produce an inert extract. The inert extract would form a protective layer or simply pass the inertia to the device, making the device no longer afraid of infection. In this way, the extract could also infect other substances.

They immediately flew 20 litres of the solution to the Underground City Base by plane.

In response, the Lighthouse’s senior officials laughed at themselves, stating that science had failed and they could only use unknown witchcraft. Still, this was all they could do since all science seemed to have failed. No one knew what to hope for.

Dr Ji reached out. “Give it to me to play.”

Of course, he didn’t receive anything. Lu Feng didn’t even look at him. Nevertheless, Dr Ji was still staring at the mycelium exposed by the spore. “Tomorrow, another litre of extract can be produced. It is quite a lot. The base requires us to first ensure that the key device of the artificial magnetic pole is protected.”
