Chapter 107: No Man's Land
Taking advantage of the fact that the vaccine had not yet been distributed, Ye Lingxing gathered his army of zombies and pounced on the Foundation site within reach.
His first contact with the Foundation was in SCP-3999.
The 3999 that has destroyed the world countless times and made people desperate.
This made Ye Lingxing overestimate the strength of the Foundation by several steps, so that he dared to make a move against the Foundation's site at a critical moment.
Then I found that the site was like a papier-mâché and it was broken......
Actually, this is normal.
Although the Foundation is omnipotent in various archives, this is mostly because it is the protagonist of the SCP Foundation.
The author gave it a protagonist aura.
If the Foundation were to be measured by the force of human conventions, it would be ...... Still very strong.
But it's nowhere near as invincible as many people think.
The armed forces deployed by the Foundation on the site are generally considered to be at the top of the national level.
In terms of conventional force, they are not even better than the GOC next door.
After all, behind the GOC is the United Nations, and the cost of military equipment is paid by countries around the world.
As an independent organization that does not belong to any international power, the Foundation has to earn all its own expenses.
INTERVIEWER It's no wonder that there is a parallel world in which the foundation goes bankrupt due to poor management and is acquired by the GOC.
In such a big setting, many of the Foundation's sites are relatively easy to overcome.
Well, this "relative" is also relative to other organizations and things in the same supernatural world, so people in the normal world should not join in the fun.
For example, the Chaos Insurgency plans to attack Foundation sites every day to snatch SCPs, and the key point is that they have succeeded more than once.
At the same time, in line with this relatively weak white technology status, the Foundation's black technology power is at its peak.
memetic weapons, antimemetic weapons;
psychic assault weapons, anti-psychiatric assault gear;
Spatio-temporal transmission technology, reality stabilization device, causal stabilization device, civilization restart device......
If you look at the sci-fi names like "Scranton Reality Anchor (SRA)" and "XYANK/Anastasakos Continuous Time Slot (XACTS)", do you feel the fear of "I can't read it, but it's amazing"?
It may not be the strongest on the frontal battlefield, but the level of the Foundation's ability to renew the life of civilization is absolutely unmatched!
But no matter what, the Foundation is not so brittle that even zombies can't stop it.
Even if these zombies have their own antimemetic effects.
There is only one possibility that this will happen.
- Ye Lingxing is facing a weakened version of the Foundation.
The newbie perks of "Endless" are in place.
"Is this still preferential treatment for me?" Ye Lingxing expanded the infection area while engaging in the Foundation site, watching the number of infected people and the number of deaths beating in tens of thousands in the data column below, without the slightest fluctuation in his heart.
Such a picture without a sense of realism really makes it impossible to bring up any guilt.
All he needs to do is to control the direction of the zombie group's attack and guide the scope and trend of 008 infection.
The virus mutated rapidly during the spread of the virus, and various lethal traits made Ye Lingxing tremble.
If an infected person dies too quickly, there is a high chance that they will die faster than they can be infected.
- Before the pathogen can spread, the carrier hangs up.
Whoever made the 008 file write in black and white that it "cannot be transmitted in air and water", once it was locked down in an area to erase the possibility of contact, it could no longer cause any harm.
In order to avoid this, Ye Lingxing had to disperse the infected in his hands—those who had already turned into zombies and those who were about to become zombies—to other places as much as possible.
Make the rate of infection higher than the rate of death.
The area where SCP-008 first erupted, the area where the G2 site is located, has fallen silent.
When it was completely covered by 008, it also disappeared from everyone's perception.
No one remembers, no one knows, and no one goes......
Completely no-man's land.
No man's land is expanding.
Even more terrible than death is being forgotten.
SCP-008 has killed tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions.
More people are carrying a deadly virus to every inch of the planet.
Humans don't know.
They went on with their lives as usual.
Flesh and blood flew on the road where people came and went, and the zombies who lost their minds tore at the innocent victims.
Passers-by were unconscious, trampling on the long street soaked in bright red, and the hems of their clothes were stained with blood that they could not see, and covered with new blood.
Not far ahead, another newborn infected person had set his hunting eyes on them, who knew nothing.
"I seem to have been smelling a strange smell lately, like some kind of rotten meat?"
"No, I didn't smell anything, are you hallucinating because you're too tired from work?"
"Yes, but the tasks assigned in the past few days are really heavy, obviously it is the workload that can be completed by at least ten people, and there are only two of us in the group......"
"There are so many projects every month, and we've done them all before, I don't even know how we used to do it!"
The hunter rushed and bit down on the unguarded neck, blood gushing out with a strong fishy smell.
"Goo...... Help me...... Save ......"
Deadly viruses are injected from the wound.
"I seem to smell something, it feels a bit like ...... Hmmm......"
Another victim was towed away.
"What's going on?"
The only one left stood in the street for a while and continued to go to work.
His body was covered in mottled red, and the scarlet liquid that had not yet solidified flowed down the clothes, lining up in long twists and turns behind him, merging with his predecessors who had long since solidified.
"There are so many jobs, and they are all pressed on me and me, and I must resign next month!"
This is certainly not a game screen.
However, if an infection of SCP-008 with antimemetic effects does occur, such a scenario will become a reality.
Whether it is Ye Lingxing or Guan Li, they can imagine the tragic details.
The unknown end times.
I don't even know how I died.
In order not to affect the player's gaming experience, it is better not to let them know about the specific situation.
A map name, a death toll, gives the intuitive impression of being very pale.
Pale enough to develop empathy.
Nor do they feel how cruel it is to "destroy the world".
It's just a game.
A game that doesn't even have the existence of NPCs.
Weaken the cruel nature of "individual death" and highlight the macro concept of "destroying the world".
As a result, the guilt of "killing" is transformed into the sense of accomplishment of "destroying the world".
It's all about the player's game experience.
Merely......
Guan Li held his chin and watched Ye Lingxing hurt the killer, "System, do we want to add a doomsday CG in the future?"
"What do you want to do?" the system knew he wanted to do something as soon as he heard this.
"Give away the microscopic details that don't appear during the game to the player after the game is over. He felt his nerve endings start to get excited, "Show them all the innocent deaths, the most cruel and tragic victims." ”
How would gamers who thought they were looking down on the game world from a macro perspective feel after witnessing the "tragedy" they had created with their own hands?
Self-blame, remorse, reflection?
Under the sanction of empathy and self-social morality, the guilt of self-loathing is long overdue.
Will they be able to continue playing the game?
"Then 'Endless' will be branded as an 'anti-human' game and sprayed to death. The system's tone didn't fluctuate, "Administrator, are you happy with this result?"
"......," Guan Li pondered for half a second, "Then forget it." ”
System: "......" It actually succeeded in stopping Guan Li's thoughts? Hurry up and record the audio and treasure it!
"Wait...... It occurred to me that there is no need to force CG to be added. ”
System: "......" Well, not yet.
"It can be made into DLC and sold to players who have special hobbies. Guan Li continued, "You can also collect some of these interesting apocalyptic scenes and make them into an episode of annihilating unit drama animation, such as this antimemes 008 is very good." The name of the animation is the one you had in mind...... Uh, "The End!"
End...... The endscene?
Isn't there something wrong?
The system wants to speak and stop, and stops talking.
To make such an animation, may I ask the administrator, have you considered the psychological shadow that Ye Lingxing may have after seeing it?
Just now, he was full of unworthy human beings and wanted to die!
