At this moment, a harsh voice rang from the communicator. The doctor picked up the call before he could catch his breath. Just three seconds later, his face changed.
After hanging up the phone, his face was solemn: "Another tiny distortion has been observed. Ji has increased the magnetic field strength to the maximum. The time for the magnetic field defense line to collapse is coming soon. I'm going to an emergency meeting, which will take about an hour. You stay here and don't go anywhere."
After saying that, he hurried to the door.
"Wait." Lu Xun called him, and Dr. Ji stopped. He was still angry and didn't turn around.
Behind him, Lu Xun asked, "Will An Zhe not be affected by the distortion?"
"Distortion is the intensification of infection, with similar properties. He is not afraid of infection, and most likely he will not be afraid of distortion."
"Thank you."
The doctor slammed the door and left.
Lu Xun typed a few words on the communicator interface.
The total collapse of the magnetic field occurred within this hour.
Outside the base, on the field, the howling of monsters suddenly sounded. They seemed to have been lurking for a long time, and finally waited for this opportunity, rushing towards the base like a tide.
After the doctor came out of the conference room, he hurriedly ran towards the direction of the laboratory, followed by two soldiers.
"Dr. Ji, please come with us as soon as possible."
"The military cannot protect the entire base. Currently, drones have observed that a wave of monsters are advancing here. In the end, we can only use the artificial magnetic pole as the only defense position."
"I need to bring something." Dr. Ji said, "Give me five minutes."
"Besides, your Colonel Lu is in the laboratory"
"Please evacuate with us immediately. The military has ordered that after the personnel gather to take refuge at the center of the magnetic pole, the presence of Colonel Lu will further aggravate the chaos of the group. Therefore, you can consider--"
The emergency alarm has sounded, and the piercing buzzing sound and red light are connected. This is the highest level of wartime alarm, reminding everyone to evacuate immediately to a safe direction. The corridor is in chaos. The howling of monsters in the wilderness in the distance can be clearly heard. The white-coated experimenters and soldiers are in a mess.
The laboratory door is approaching.
However, Dr. Ji's eyes suddenly show a look of disbelief.
——The door of the laboratory is wide open. He was so overwhelmed before leaving that he forgot to lock the door.
He strode in, but saw a soldier with a black band tied around his arm, holding a rifle and aiming at a figure standing in front of the window.
His pupils shrank - the black band tied around his arm was a symbol of the anti-judgment movement.
The communicator lit up, but he could no longer care and shouted loudly: "Lu Xun!"
The sound was followed by a gunshot.
The figure by the window swayed, and with a dull sound, fell to the ground.
The armed soldier was quickly controlled by the two soldiers who followed him. Dr. Ji strode in and bypassed the heavy experimental equipment. He half-knelt in front of Lu Xun's fallen body. He was still trembling all over before, but his eyes were cold.
A soldier handcuffed the shooter and walked towards this side.
"No more." Dr. Ji's voice echoed coldly in the laboratory: "Colonel Lu is confirmed dead."

pl1109, cabin.
Hubbard leaned against the cabin wall. He and Lu were not very good friends.
But it seemed that they were a life-long friendship.
"How does it feel to be under house arrest?" he asked.
Lu Xun pursed his lips slightly: "Not bad."
An officer next to him said: "We all came back from the underground city base together, Colonel Lu, we promise not to report you to the military."
"Don't thank them." Hubbard wiped the gun in his hand: "It's just a monster siege, we have to participate in the battle again, you are experienced in fighting the enemy, everyone can see it." Hubbard
was wiping - it was a silver semi-automatic gun, the whole body was silver, his fingers stayed on the butt - there was a scratch here, and a string of letters "tang" was vaguely engraved.
His eyes stayed on this string of letters.
The officer next to him asked, "Who is this?"
"A friend." Hubbard said, "I've known him for thirty-three years."
"That's a long time."
Hubbard looked at the word, and smiled, "What a pity."
"Why?"
"We lived together, but didn't die together."
"That's not such a good thing."
"...Yes."
Lu Xun crossed his arms and watched their conversation. His eyelashes were half closed, and he couldn't see any emotions, and the others naturally didn't expect the judge to feel their emotions.
Until Hubbard discovered something.
"Where's your gun?" he said.
Lu Xun said, "I gave it away."
Hubbard smiled, as if he understood everything. Compared to the standard military supplies, this mercenary captain was quite wealthy. He handed a black pistol to Lu Xun. The moment he took it, he whispered, "He'll be alive."
"Thank you."
