Chapter 1 The City of A, Worn Out
Two days are slowly passing. In the blink of an eye, it was 12 noon on May 16, and the four people who were lucky enough to survive also returned to the apartment with each other's help. At about one o'clock in the morning, four figures also limped in front of everyone, and the masked figures lay on the ground until they returned to the apartment, it seemed that they were very tired, and the wounds were constantly recovering.
On the third day of the four people in a coma, the new blood word was actually released, this is the fastest blood word indication that Shen Feng encountered in the apartment, and this time the blood word indication is also quite weird, the content of the blood word indication is like this: On May 23, 2026, go to City A and return to the apartment after spending 100 yuan, and there is no time limit for this mission. Participants: Zhao Hua, Xia Tian, Li Xin, Wang Huajun, Liang Jianguo.
Just a few sentences show that the apartment released this blood word in a very hurry, and there are no more clues, but this time the blood word is not all newcomers, among them; Li Xin and Zhao Hua are the ones who have spent three blood letters, while Liang Jianguo and Xia Tian are the people who have spent two blood letters, and only Wang Huajun is a newcomer. However, what made Shen Feng most curious about this blood letter was that City A was a place that had been abandoned for a long time, and there seemed to be some major incident there, which caused the government there to collapse instantly, and then City A became an abandoned city, and was called a real ghost town by the people!
In City A, even if you pass by there during the day, it is eerie, and in such a situation, you actually want them to spend a hundred yuan of name coins, not to mention anything else, that is, how to spend this hundred yuan, and who to spend it is a problem, and Shen Feng guessed that this hundred yuan is for ghosts, how difficult it is to spend a hundred yuan of name coins in that ghost town, this mission is very strange.
At this time, several people were discussing some solutions in a separate office, but there was no clue. The only thing I know is that I have to disguise the 100 yuan name coin, and then I can spend it, but I just don't know if those ghosts will be in danger of life when they enter A City, this is one point, and the second point is what will happen if the ghosts find out that they are using the name coin, can they escape or just wait for death, and now these two points make people uneasy. Shen Feng kept banging on the table, as if he was thinking about something!
At this time, Dongfang Xi also slowly raised his listless eyelids, but found that his arm was also numb, after a little rest, he got up and looked at the refrigerator, but there was nothing, so he had to take out a post-it note and write a bubble noodle, and after a while, a bowl of hot noodles appeared in front of Dongfang Xi's eyes and shook his head, took a pair of chopsticks and began to eat and drink.
At the same time, Yao Yihua was not as idle as Dongfang Xi, just got up and simply painted his makeup and ran out in a hurry, as if he was in a hurry. Mu Ke'er got up later than the two of them, and the moment she opened her eyes, she thought of one thing, that is, to go to Li Zhen and ask about the cursed meme.
But Li Mang had already met with someone outside, and the person he met was ...... Li Yin!
"By the way, your information about K City is accurate!" Li Yin asked uneasily.
"Oops! Don't worry, I'm sure I got this quietly from the government department, but is it useful for you to ask why? Li Mang asked curiously.
But Li Yin said very indifferently: "The two of us are just the relationship between the employer and the employee, I pay for it, you collect the money and then know that I want to know, so you don't have to be too curious or anything, these are the employer's problems, this is your intelligence fee this time, if it is useful to you, I will call you!" As he spoke, Li Yin took out an envelope from his pocket, and the thick pile in it might be the mercenary money! Li Mang smiled, hurriedly grabbed the envelope with his hand, and then said with a smile: "Okay, call me if you have something, and accompany me at any time." ”
Li Yin smiled at him dryly and walked out the door, but Li Mang was still sitting blankly, "How do I feel that he looks so much like Li Zhen!" Oh, maybe it's an illusion! Regardless of getting the money, let's have a good time! "I thought to myself, and walked out slowly!
This meeting is still fruitless, this time the blood word is really too rushed, I can only ask Dongfang Xi if he knows what the internal situation is, Shen Feng shook his head helplessly and walked towards Dongfang Xi's room......
And at this moment, in a room somewhere, two **** men and women are discussing something, and it can be seen that the man's face is very ruddy, and it seems that he has done something to enjoy the joy of fish and water! He smiled slowly and said, "The current information is not wrong!" Then the wise men who are recognized by everyone are Li Zhen, Shen Feng, Luo Qiu, and the newcomers Dongfang Xi and Mu Keer! ”
"That's right! But that Li Zhen, you have to pay attention, that child is not a fuel-efficient lamp, you must be careful, if you want to revive your family, try to hit the right or pay attention to that child, he is not easy to deal with! The bewitching woman was also talking softly, but when it came to Li Zhen, a chill flashed in her beautiful eyes! As he spoke, the man smiled strangely and said, "Let's continue!" You tell me! Ha ha. "The room was filled with love!
And at this moment, Shen Feng also arrived at Dongfang Xi's room, and he ...... Knock, knocked on the door, and after a while, a handsome face appeared in front of Shen Feng.
"Oh! You're awake, I'll ask you something! Shen Feng whispered.
"Alright! You come in first. After speaking, he pulled Shen Feng in, and then closed the door. Well, now you say it! Something important! ”
"Well, it's really an important thing, the new blood word was released, it is to let a few people go to City A to spend a hundred yuan of name coins, but City A has been abandoned for a long time, of course this is not an important thing, now I want to ask you if you know anything, such as how City A was abandoned, and what happened that day, I want to know!" Dongfang Xi said all a series of questions.
There is no way, Dongfang Xi smiled bitterly and said: "Although I am a policeman, my co-management area is only in City K, and I don't know anything about City A, but I have a friend who used to work in City A, he should know something!" Let me ask him first! With that, he pulled out his phone.
After half an hour of quick questioning, some questions could be solved. But his colleague was very frightened when he said this, as if he had seen something, but the destruction of City A was really strange, just a few hours, the city became a pile of flesh and blood, and some officials who had just taken office also fainted on the spot, and the scene was full of flies, but they were very impatient, and they were not secreting maggot eggs in the dead man's body at all, but ...... Instead, they were posing for an image, and that image was only for a few seconds, and then the flies exploded en masse!
Seeing Dongfang Xi's strange expression, Shen Feng was also very strange, he wanted to know what Dongfang Xi had heard, which would make Dongfang Xi, who had always been calm, look shocked.
Dongfang Xi calmed down for a moment before he opened his mouth and said, "It turns out that the collapse of City A is only a few hours. Shen Feng also knew what City A was like at that time, as a city with a prosperous economy and a solid foundation, it was a very ideal and good place, but it was just that the frequency of life there was too fast, otherwise Shen Feng also had an urge to rush there at that time, but he didn't expect such a behemoth to be destroyed in one fell swoop!
Dongfang Xi looked at Shen Feng and said: "As a rising new city, the destruction of a few hours may attract widespread attention from many media, but the destruction of City A has not been reported by any media, and it has even been deceived for a year, and it was finally seen by a young man who was scavenging, but there are many strange points in this matter, has there been no movement in the past year?" Including eyewitnesses and state officials, these questions are all mysteries as to why the fall of this city of A-City was discovered a year later! ”
After a pause, Dongfang Xi said again: "That friend of mine happened to be employed at that time, and he investigated that there were many unknown blood in City A, but after DNA testing, the system collapsed directly, the machinery exploded, and there were a total of ten dead and injured patients, and they said that they seemed to see a huge skull and laughed at them at that time!" In the end, he had to rush to City A with his team, of course, they saw the abnormal scenery, the flies kept posing, and they all exploded one by one, those flies were hundreds of thousands, the explosion scene was terrifying, there were dozens of dead and wounded, fortunately, the ambulance team at that time came quickly, and finally the media reported the news of the destruction of City A. ”
"But now the destruction of City A is also a mystery, that's what my friend told me, because the time was a little far away, so now the clues are here, but then again, why is the blood word so much earlier this time, it's not in line with the style of the apartment!" Dongfang Xi asked curiously.
"I don't know, I always feel like something is going to happen to the apartment, hey! It's far away, let's continue to see what clues can be found this time! After speaking, Shen Feng sighed and left. And only Dongfang Xi stood stupidly at home, not knowing what to think.
At this moment, Li Zhen and Mu Ke'er were also discussing something in the living room, "Li Zhen, I also thought about the curse meme you mentioned, why did you think of these things!" ”
"Because I and a few people have seen what the future K City will be like, that kind of horror, that kind of helplessness pervades the hearts of each of us, if we hadn't seen the future apartment at that time, then we might not have seen the sun today." The more Li Zhen spoke, the more excited he became, but in the end, he suppressed this excitement to the lowest point with his silent character, and he slowly turned his head to look at Mu Keer.
Mu Keer shrugged his shoulders and said: "You are not the only one who is also suffering, everyone, aren't they all in a terrifying place?" So it's time to learn more about that cursed meme. ”
"Curse memes are a kind of memetic theory, the simple understanding is a contagious curse, memetic theory you should have heard of it, the original inference is like this, memes are like viruses, it will be contagious, such as popular music, fashionable words, creations and inventions, as long as someone takes the lead, everyone will spread it, and then imitate it to achieve the effect of everyone else, this is memetic theory."
"And the curse meme I'm going to say is crazier than all of that, and this inference is only seen in a novel, but don't be in a hurry to deny this inference, doesn't the place we live in look like the result of the curse meme's split?"
Mu Keer smiled and said, "Yes, I'm not going to deny you, and I can be sure that this curse meme is indeed possible, even if this fact is not true, it must be confirmed, you go on." ”
"And the place where the blood letter indicates each time is the place where the curse meme is attached, so I will tell you to pay attention to each blood letter indication, kill the ghost as much as possible, and stop the crazy spread of memes, but we don't know what role the apartment represents, whether it is a positive character or a negative character, if it is a positive character, why not destroy the ghost but let us ordinary humans stop the ghost, but if it represents the negative character, why not destroy us humans! These issues led to my inability to locate the role of the apartment at all! ”
"Uh, don't mean it, far away, we continue to curse the meme, the effect of this meme is far beyond those ordinary memes, its characteristics are fast, widespread, and powerful, commonly known as fast and strong, and the only thing that restrains this meme is the ability to devour ghosts in the apartment, we don't know when the outbreak time of this meme, so in normal times we have to destroy some small or medium-sized memetic mothers to reduce the number of memetic outbreaks." Li Zhen quickly finished his reasoning.
And when it comes to the meme outbreak, Li Zhen did suddenly have an idea, he thought that the event of the population disappearing in City K every five years may be a memetic outbreak, and this time the blood letter indicates that it is in City A, so there was such an apartment in City A before, but with the passage of time, the apartment in City A could not restrain the fall caused by the powerful curse meme in the end, which is not impossible! Li Zhen touched her head and suddenly thought of such a phenomenon, after all, the difference between K city and A city is not far, and there is still an O city between K city and A city, so is there some experiment between these three cities!
Maybe the three governments are aware of the existence of the apartment with each other, and they want to use the apartment to do something unknown, but they may not have thought of the curse meme, which led to the fall of City A, and these two cities may be the only ones who know the inside story now, and these two cities are still planning. "That's right! Yes, it's possible, but what would that plan be? Li Zhen kept thinking and thinking.
Mu Ke'er looked at his eyes, and then shouted at him slightly, and then came back to his senses. "You...... It doesn't matter to you! Isn't it too tiring! ”
Li Zhen paused and said, "Oh! Probably! I suddenly thought about it, and I was embarrassed. Li Zhen is not stupid, this woman's mind is no worse than his, so she can't be careless, so she didn't tell Mu Keer what she thought in her heart. After all, there are no fully trusted partners in this apartment!
Mu Ke'er smiled awkwardly and said, "Then you can rest first!" I won't bother, I'll take these materials back and look at them first, and I'll give them to you after reading them! ”
Li Zhen didn't say much, smiled and sent Mu Keer out, and then quickly took out the phone and dialed it on Li Yin's mobile phone!
"Hey, Dad, I have a deference, maybe the mayor of K City is hiding a huge plan, and this plan may devour the surrounding neighbors!" Li Zhen slowly told Li Yin everything he deduced. And at this moment, in a room, a handsome woman also heard it all, this woman was Mu Keer. But when she was leaving, she saw Li Zhen's eyes blazing, not at all like she didn't have a good rest, but thinking about something, so when she was leaving, she took out a small monitor from her pocket and played it in the shoe cabinet, but she didn't expect to be guessed correctly.
Hearing Li Zhen's speculation, Li Yin and Mu Ke'er who eavesdropped were all taken aback, and Mu Ke'er sighed even more, fortunately he put the listener, otherwise he would regret his death!
