379 - Ex and the beggars

Chen Chen stood at the top of this building, silently listening to the voice of the whole city, the blood flowing from his eyes had formed a blood scab, hanging on his cheeks, and there was an inexplicable tragic aura.

Although Chen Chen had forgotten the purpose of gouging out his eyes after returning to this seat because of the existence of antimemes, there must be a very important clue in it.

Moreover, perhaps because of the loss of vision, Chen Chen felt that his perception had become more acute.

Just by listening closely, you can hear sounds that are difficult to distinguish on a daily basis, such as the sound of the wind blowing through obstacles, the deathly silence of a tall building under your feet, and even your own breathing and heartbeat......

Not only hearing, Chen Chen could smell the endless smell of decay in the air, even if he was on the coast, this smell of decay could not be blocked, and this smell of decay came from the buildings themselves.

The walls of these buildings are already filled with the bodies of missing people, and these walls are the source of the smell of decay......

Through the previous information, Chen Chen had already learned that the curse meme at this time was no longer limited to the room, but the surrounding area of the room would also be infected, and it was precisely because of this that the curse meme would completely get out of control, causing the entire business to fall.

If you don't want to try to stop it, Shangdu is just the beginning, and then, the whole world will start from Shangdu, decaying little by little, until the whole world completely loses the last piece of pure land.

Humanity will be helpless against this meme.

"If you don't guess wrong, the death toll should be a very important factor."

Chen Chen muttered in a low voice, it was recorded in the information that in the original large hospital, tens of thousands of students were quarantined here, and according to official estimates, less than one-tenth of the students were infected with the curse meme.

In other words, among these students, there will eventually be about a thousand people who will be killed by the meme, and at that time, the remaining people will be able to confirm that they are not infected after the incubation period, so that the suspicion of infection can be ruled out.

Although it is a bit cruel, it is already the easiest plan to stop losses for helpless officials.

And this set of recipes did have a certain effect at the beginning, as time went on, the number of missing people would be high at first, but after reaching a peak, it quickly decreased.

That's because the person infected with the meme is already dying.

If you divide this data into a graph in your mind, you can see it at a glance - it is an arch curve, which is not high at first, but over time, the curve starts to rise rapidly, until it reaches a peak, and then it starts to decrease rapidly......

As long as this statistic is eventually reduced to zero, it is equivalent to controlling the spread of the meme, and controlling this terrifying thing to the world at a small cost.

It's a pity that the facts have proven that the Middle Continent and the FBI still underestimate memes.

According to the data that followed, the graph did not drop to zero completely, as they expected, but after falling to a low point, it rose again in vain, and its peak began to brush higher, double, triple, or even ten times higher than before!

And the reason why this is the case, Chen Chen has already got the answer from the data - in a large building, when the number of people who die by curses reaches a certain number, these curses will be connected, so that the scope of infection will spread from a single room to the point of the entire large building!

At this point, anyone who enters the building will be infected with the Cursed Meme.

Then, when more and more people are killed by the curse in the building, and a tipping point is reached again, the cursed meme will explode again, and the infection will completely spread out of the building, making a larger area a cursed place.

Then it completely falls into a cycle of endless spreading.

This is the deadliest rule of the grudge meme.

It is precisely because the officials of the Central Continent District have gathered all the infected people together, but it is self-defeating, so that the meme spreads in a more rampant posture.

"That is to say, at this time, there are at least several areas of this indiscriminate infection in Shangdu, as long as you enter this area, you will be infected with curse memes, and these areas will become more and more extensive because of the increasing number of deaths......

Chen Chen muttered in a low voice, "In that case, this kind of area is called the 'Cursed Death Zone', curse the Death Zone, and you will die when you enter." ā€

Silently analyzing everything in my mind, the above is probably another law of the curse meme, compared to the first one-no third-person observer, this law is undoubtedly more deadly, and its threat is more of a threat to the entire human civilization.

Now it seems that the international metropolis of Shangdu can be said to be in ruins.

And if you don't try to reduce the number of deaths in the cursed dead zone, there will be a bigger hidden danger - when the death toll in the cursed dead zone reaches more than one million, I am afraid that the entire Shang will become a large cursed dead zone, and even completely extend out and infect nearby cities.

The only way to curb the expansion of the Dead Zone is probably for the official strong man to break his wrist and evacuate people within a radius of thousands of kilometers within a few days, so that a no-man's land ring can be created to curb the spread of the cursed Dead Zone.

It's just that the official has the courage and ability?

Chen Chen sighed secretly, there are 30% of the population of the entire continent living near the Shangdu Circle, which is one of the most densely populated areas in the world, and if all of them are evacuated, the manpower and material resources required are simply astronomical.

Moreover, even if the government successfully suppressed it at a huge cost, this area of thousands of kilometers will be completely wasted, like an indelible scar, ugly across the surface, even after thousands of years, it will still remain here.

Moreover, in these areas, every year the Earth Federation has to invest tens of billions of dollars for troops to be stationed on the border, and it is strictly forbidden for anyone to enter them, after all, although these cursed dead zones have come to a standstill because of the loss of resources to continue to spread in the surrounding areas, even if they have been a million years old, the so-called cursed dead zones are still infectious.

Because memes are a concept, and concepts don't go away.

Here, like a big time bomb of human civilization, it may be detonated again at any time, and no one dares to guarantee that the next time it is detonated, there will be no chance to be stopped.

These thoughts flowed through Chen Chen's mind, but Chen Chen didn't have to worry about these, after all, he had already used the Basilesk pattern for immunity in the "Cursed Plane", as if he had been injected with a vaccine, his body had already produced antibodies, and he was permanently immune to the infection of the curse meme.

Thinking of this, Chen Chen jumped around and jumped down directly from the top of the tall building.

Next, a magical scene happened, Chen Chen showed a uniform descending speed, jumped directly from a hundred-meter-high building, and then fell lightly to the ground.

However, by this time, the streets were so desolate that there was not even a single figure, so there was no audience to cheer for this shocking scene.

Chen Chen tilted his head, and in his senses, he was on a familiar street at this time, this road was called Renmin Road, which belonged to a kind of commercial street.

However, the shops on both sides of the shopping street have either been completely closed or have been forcibly pried open, and the products inside have been looted.

Obviously, the people of the city are not dead, and there are still a large number of people trapped in the city, hiding in some shops and homes, stocking up on enough food to escape the strange woman in white.

But all of this is wishful thinking, and memes don't play hide-and-seek with humans.

"It's just that when you return to Shangdu, do you want to find something?"

Chen Chen was a little puzzled in his heart, and at the same time a little depressed, after all, after returning from the other side of the passage, he found that he had deducted his eyes and made himself blind for the first time.

Not only that, but the subconscious was still urging him to return to Shangdu, although Chen Chen was already immune to the curse meme, but the ghost call meme and the midnight bell meme were still spreading in the city, and there were even more terrifying death memes.

It's just that up to now, Chen Chen hasn't heard of anyone who has experienced the Grim Reaper meme.

But it's normal to think about it, because everyone who has seen the Grim Reaper's meme is dead.

Next, Chen Chen simply wandered aimlessly through the streets of the city, believing that he had definitely planned something on the other side of the passage, and at this time, he only needed to execute his plan according to his own plan.

……

Next, Chen Chen continued to scan both sides of the street with his field energy.

Taking advantage of the fact that there were no dead ends in the field, Chen Chen quickly found several living people through the gaps on both sides of the road.

The living were vigilant, hiding themselves in the storefronts of daily necessities, which had enough food for them for months without fear of starvation.

And because Chen Chen didn't lower the sound of his footsteps when he walked, many people who heard the movement even deliberately stared at themselves through the crack in the door.

It's just that when they saw the blood on Chen Chen's cheeks, some of the people who originally wanted to ask Chen Chen were completely dumbfounded, in their opinion, Chen Chen's strange dress was not much different from that of a coconut.

But just as Chen Chen turned to the end of a road, his footsteps suddenly stopped.

In his senses, on a certain corner of the street, a familiar figure flashed by.

So Chen Chen quickly stopped, he turned around, and while closing his eyes, he walked in the direction where the figure appeared.

Then, Chen Chen "sensed" a familiar figure.

It was the beggar.

The beggar looked very young, only about fourteen or fifteen years old, his thin body curled up in a dark corner somewhere, his skin festering all over his body, emitting a strange smell.

His hair had formed into a flaky substance like wool felt, and Chen Chen couldn't even judge the other party's appearance, the only thing he could be sure of was that the beggar was a girl.

After sensing this scene, Chen Chen slowly stopped his pace, he closed his eyes, and faced the other party with his face, while frowning slightly, revealing a solemn expression.

Will a beggar who can survive a memetic catastrophe be an ordinary beggar?

Chen Chen didn't believe it.

But at this time, the beggar finally saw Chen Chen, and suddenly, she sat up slowly, and at the same time stretched out her thin and dark arms, crawling towards Chen Chen in a strange posture......

The field could not observe so many details like his eyes, Chen Chen could only sense that the other party was staring at him with a pair of large, godless eyes.

Is it finally here?

Chen Chen only felt that his whole body was a little stiff, and he subconsciously took a step back, but at this moment, a crisp exclamation suddenly came from behind Chen Chen, "Chen Chen, run!" ā€

This was followed by the sound of crisp and rapid footsteps.

This voice is Ex!

Thinking of this, the owner of that voice had also broken into Chen Chen's field energy range, and it was only at this time that Chen Chen completely relaxed.

In the induction of field energy, it was indeed Ex who was right.

"Chen Chen, hurry! Run! ā€

As soon as Ex grabbed Chen Chen's right hand, he dragged him backwards, and at the same time said in a panic, "Don't touch that person, don't!" ā€

Chen Chen only felt that he was caught by a slender and soft little hand, and then he was pulled by the other party and ran in the opposite direction......

"Why are you here?"

Chen Chen was still a little wary in his heart, and asked as he ran, as soon as he faced the beggar, Ex appeared, which seemed to be too much of a coincidence.

"I—I don't know ......"

However, Ex was stunned, she shook her head, and said with a puzzled expression, "I don't know why I'm here, I just know that you're in danger!" ā€

Chen Chen's heart moved when he heard this, if Ex is really the incarnation of Xiao X in reality, then it is indeed a very reasonable thing to appear here, after all, she is the guide of her own hypnosis.

Just, is it really that simple?

Chen Chen only felt that the doubts in his heart were even stronger, although the person in front of him was indeed Ex, but for some reason, he gradually began to have an awkward feeling.

It seems that I have forgotten something very important.

At this moment, the sweat that had been pouring out of running suddenly flowed down Chen Chen's forehead and through his eyes, and suddenly a heart-piercing pain struck.

"Ahh

Chen Chen couldn't help but cover his eyes, half-knelt on the ground and cried out in pain.

"Chen Chen, run! Don't stop! ā€

Ex grabbed Chen Chen's collar again, and wanted to pull Chen Chen forward, but at the same time, there was already a crying tone in his tone, becoming more and more urgent.

But in addition to the severe pain, Chen Chen suddenly woke up as if he had been empowered!

He finally remembered that something was wrong, and Ex didn't even ask his eyes!

Thinking of this, Chen Chen raised his head suddenly, he was directly facing in the direction of Ex, while constantly trying to open his eyes!

But in reality, all he opened was a pair of black hole eyes, and the flesh in the eye sockets was blurred.

But in reality, all he opened was a pair of black hole eyes, and the flesh in the eye sockets was blurred.
