Chapter 233: The Death Knell and Nursery Rhymes
Today is the last day of the mission.
In the early morning, Qin Fei was awakened by the ringing of a bell.
The sound of the bell was so loud that it sounded as if someone had placed a dozen megaphones in different directions outside the tent.
"Someone's ringing the bell?" Xie Nanai was also woken up by the sound of the bell.
"I don't know." Qin Fei shook his head.
At the same time, he himself felt a little strange.
The place where Qin Fei was currently located was on top of a mutated giant tree next door.
It is simply uninhabited, and there is no possibility of a temple or something.
So, where did this bell come from?
Qin Fei walked out of the tent, stood on the treetops, and looked around the giant tree for a moment.... The whole Gobi is still as desolate as yesterday.
Could it be that the bell came from far away?
Qin Fei frowned, his face puzzled.
He had not been standing long in the treetops when the strange ringing of the bell rang again.
Qin Fei, who was standing outside the tent, looked for this bell and subconsciously raised his head.... At this moment, he has heard it thoroughly.
The bell rang so loudly that it resounded through the heavens and the earth.
The most important thing is that this voice should come from heaven!
But how can there be a bell ringing in the sky?
Qin Fei raised his head and looked at the sky.... As far as the eye could see, there was nothing but white clouds in the sky.
This scene is really too unbelievable.
Originally, Qin Fei thought that what he was traversing was only a plane on the technological side, and there was nothing related to magic and metaphysics.
But the appearance of this strange bell completely subverted Qin Fei's cognition.
This sound is by no means natural in nature.
Strange things began to grow more and more ....
Just as Qin Fei was thinking, Xie Nanai pulled the corner of his clothes and pointed in the direction of the city not far away: "Look at that!" ”
"What's that?" Qin Fei followed the position of Xie Nanai's finger and looked into the distance.
That's New York City.
In the distant city, a huge worm appeared among the buildings of the city!
The distance between this insect and Qin Fei was almost thousands of meters away.
However, since the size of this worm was too large, even from such a distance, Qin Fei could still easily find it.
Looking at the appearance of that bug, it seems to be the one he and Xie Nanai encountered before....
To Qin Fei's surprise, in just two days, this guy's size had nearly doubled.
Qin Fei compared the worm in the distance with the tall buildings around it.
He estimated that the size of this insect was hundreds of meters long, to say the least.
It's a little too fast....
Could it be that the sudden increase in the size of this insect has something to do with the wild growth of plants last night?
……
Soon, Qin Fei discovered that beside this worm, there was a huge ball of flesh that was no less than its size.
After Qin Fei saw the ball of meat, his face changed.
Because that meat ball was the 'giant egg' he had seen in the park last time!
The difference from the previous one is that the size of this giant egg has skyrocketed to a height of nearly 100 meters, just like that worm....
Judging by the movements of the two monsters in the distance, they seemed to be attacking each other.
This scene is very unusual.
According to Qin Fei's understanding, even between different types of black light virus infections, there will be no fighting.
But the two monsters behaved in opposite directions.
Obviously, these two monsters should want to devour each other!
Seeing the scene in the distance, and then thinking of the scene in the park before, where the giant egg devoured those ordinary infected bodies, Qin Fei immediately thought of a guess in his heart.
All of these infected individuals have only one purpose:
That is, the black light virus in the body of these infected bodies, which wants to gather together by devouring each other!
But this does not fit the basic behavior pattern of the virus.
You know, viruses are parasites.
For the virus, it is natural that the greater the number of infected individuals and the wider the spread, the better.... The virus does not seek the strength of the number of individuals.
So, why did the behavior of these black light viruses suddenly become so abnormal?
Or is it because these black light viruses behave because they are artificially controlled?
Soon, the time came to eleven o'clock in the evening.
[Countdown to survival in the current mission: 1 hour!] 】
At the same time, the battle between the giant eggs and the worms in the distance has continued until now.
"Those two bugs are still fighting?" By the moonlight, Xie Nanai could still see the figures of the two behemoths in the distance.
She turned her head and asked Qin Fei, "This mission is almost over, what do you estimate to be the next mission?" ”
"It's hard to say...."Qin Fei looked at the two giant objects in the distance, and his face was embarrassed: "But I feel that the next task should not be easy to do." ”
……
After chatting for a while, it was almost midnight.
[Countdown to survival in the current mission: 10 minutes!] 】
Towards the end of the mission, the strange bell sounded in the sky again....
'Boom...... Knock ......'
After hearing this bell ringing, Qin Fei immediately raised his head and looked into the sky.
He wanted to find out why the bell was ringing.
However, in the night sky at this moment, except for the stars and a bright moon, Qin Fei found almost nothing.
The bell rang in the air for nearly a minute or two before it ended.
But then, a very strange song appeared from the night sky: "Roses in the shape of rings~, bouquets full of pockets~, ashes.... Ashes.... You're all going to die! ”
The song is very short.
As you can tell from the singing, the person who sings seems to be a little girl.
After hearing this song, Xie Nanai looked at the sky and said with a puzzled face: "It's weird.... First the bell is ringing, then the song is sung, you say, where are these sounds? ”
After saying this, Xie Nanai turned his head to look at Qin Fei again.
But she found that Qin Fei at this time was like a demon, standing on the treetops in a daze, without saying a word.
"Are you stupid?" Xie Nanai shook his hand in front of Qin Fei's eyes.
After hearing Xie Nanai's question, Qin Fei came back to his senses.
His face was solemn, and he looked at Xie Nanai and asked word by word, "Do you know what this song is singing about?" ”
"What?"
Qin Fei explained: "This is a song sung in 160 years when the Black Death broke out in London...."
"I'll go, you know all this!" Xie Nana exclaimed.
Of course Qin Fei knew.
Because he once heard this nursery rhyme.
Actually, the song is the background music from the strategy game 'Plague Inc.'.
Plague Inc. is a game that isn't complicated, and its gameplay is very simple.
As the name suggests, since the game is called 'Plague Inc.', it is the 'Plague' that players play in this game.
And the ultimate goal of the player is to infect all the humans on the earth with 'themselves', and eventually kill them completely.
As for that nursery rhyme ....
Every time the player's Disease' suddenly increases in lethality and surpasses the fatality rate of the Black Death, the whole world rings the bell from before.
And when the bell ends, this spooky nursery rhyme will play in the game....
