Time goes back to one day ago.
Late at night, Chen Chen was walking alone on a desolate road.
This seemed to be a deserted dirt road, with uneven terrain and occasional mud pits, making the road extremely muddy.
On both sides of the road, there are weeds that are half a man tall. The grass is quiet, without the noise of mosquitoes or the rustle of the wind.
On a midsummer night, this is really weird.
The entire road was dark, with only the cold moonlight overhead barely providing the glimmer of light that kept Chen Chen from falling.
Snap!
Suddenly, Chen Chen felt a pain in his shoulder, and he staggered. Only then did he realize that a tall figure walked past him, and their shoulders happened to collide.
Rubbing his shoulders, Chen Chen showed a confused look, because he found that although there were no street lights on the entire road and it was extremely dark, there were an unusually large number of people on this road. If you just take a few steps, you can see ahead. The approaching shadow.
Back and forth, Chen Chen had already encountered more than a dozen figures, and he would bump into them accidentally.
Chen Chen didn't think much. He didn't even think about why he was here. He was just a little confused. The group of people walking towards him seemed to be muttering something in a low voice.
It's just that he has never been able to hear clearly what these people are talking about.
boom!
Just when Chen Chen was still confused, he suddenly felt a pain in his nose again. Because he was lost in thought, he collided with a black shadow again!
At this point, Chen Chen finally heard what these people were murmuring:
"Integrate, merge... everyone is lonely..."
"Come on, let's merge, let's merge into one..."
Hearing the other party's murmur, Chen Chen felt an inexplicable sense of crisis coming over him. He didn't have time to get up, so he kicked his feet back hard, trying to keep himself as far away from the other party as possible. But at this moment, several figures suddenly came towards him. He walked towards the figure who knocked him down, and then, in Chen Chen's shocked eyes, these people actually merged into one!
Gujiguji…
With a sound of flesh and blood mingling, those dark figures actually merged. Their bodies and limbs were twisted and elongated like bubble gum, and blended together like several balls of dough. At the same time, more figures continued to join. Come in!
Finally, a demon-like figure with densely packed arms and heads slowly stood up in front of Chen Chen. The monster, which was made up of countless human bodies, twisted the dozens of heads on its body and looked in Chen Chen's direction. :
"Integrate, merge, everyone is lonely, only merge into one, only merge into one..."
Countless voices rang in Chen Chen's ears. Chen Chen felt his heart beating with fear. Just when he was about to give it a try, he suddenly opened his eyes again!
"call!"
Chen Chen sat up from the bed and found that his whole body was wet with cold sweat again.
At this time, he was lying in the dormitory of the Minaret Experimental Base. Because the space of the Minaret Experimental Base was limited, it required high space utilization, so Chen Chen only lived in a single dormitory here.
Although this single dormitory is fully functional, with its own bathroom and black light automatic medical platform, and is also equipped with a holographic environment simulator, it is still just a dormitory with the same area as other members, without any exceptions.
"This is the second time."
At this time, Chen Chen felt the cold sweat flowing down his face and couldn't help but frown.
Now that he has a strong physique, he only needs to sleep for two or three hours a day, and nightmares have stopped happening eight years ago. Now, both his spirit and his will have become as strong as iron. .
But in the more than a day after returning from Mars, he had already had two nightmares...
Thinking of this, Chen Chen couldn't help but frown. He lay down on the fully automatic medical platform aside again and ordered at the same time, "Carry out a full body scan."
Immediately, the fully automatic medical platform started running and scanned Chen Chen from beginning to end.
However, nothing was found.
"There is no abnormality in my body..."
Chen Chen sat up again. He raised his hand and looked down at his palm with a thoughtful look on his face. "Is it just an ordinary nightmare? I'm overthinking it?"
But just when Chen Chen was deep in thought, a light footsteps suddenly came from the corridor outside the door. The footsteps quickly approached and then stopped outside Chen Chen's door.
Dong Dong Dong…
There was a knock on the door immediately.
"come in."
Chen Chen can identify people as soon as he hears the footsteps, and his current bedroom is located in the Minaret Experimental Base. There is only one person who can visit him, and that is Xiao X.
Generally speaking, Xiao
Sure enough, Little
"Yes, but it shouldn't matter."
Chen Chen waved his hand, "What, do you have a problem with me?"
"I came because I found some weird things on the Internet. I thought you might be interested in these things."
Xiao X walked in the door and answered.
"Since you said it like that, it means it's really a great thing."
Chen Chen nodded. He stood up and walked to the water dispenser and got himself a glass of water. "You tell me."
"Is such that."
Little Dead bodies of unknown causes have been found in the Inzhou District."
Chen Chen put down the water glass and nodded, indicating to Xiao X to continue talking.
"These corpses all have a common feature, that is, they are formed by the fusion of at least two corpses, and as many as three or four corpses."
Little
Following Little Most of the corpses were found in a certain house. Only the corpse in Zhongzhou District was the most special. It was actually in a movie theater.
Chen Chen looked up and saw that they were a man and a woman. Their heads and bodies merged together along the gap between the cinema seats, entangled and twisted with each other. But the strange thing was that their faces were not visible at all. Feeling pain, on the contrary, the corners of their mouths turned up slightly, with a strange arc.
It was as if the two of them had a special sense of satisfaction with this fusion before they died...
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen's heart suddenly sank. He immediately thought of the nightmare he had had in the past two days. In the dream, the black shadows seemed to be fused together like this...
Integrate, merge, everyone is lonely...
That weird whisper echoed in Chen Chen's ears again.
"It's a meteorite."
Immediately, Chen Chen said with certainty, "There is something wrong with those meteorites..."
"I also have this feeling."
Little
"Notify all supervisors of the Black Light Foundation that I need to open the Lilith meeting."
Chen Chen walked to the bathroom, wiped his face casually, and then walked outside, "I will give the other supervisors an hour. After one hour, I hope that the other four supervisors will arrive at the conference table. At the same time, Inform Hannibal and ask him to come see me immediately!"
As Xiao X agreed, Chen Chen had already left his single dormitory.
Half an hour later, when Chen Chen was standing alone in front of the dormitory door where everyone was resting, a pale Hannibal rushed over from the direction of the laboratory.
But before he got close, Chen Chen frowned.
When he saw Hannibal, he suddenly felt a special feeling in his heart, madness, paranoia, greed... The whispering voice in the dream seemed to be ringing too...
Integrate, merge, everyone is lonely...
Hannibal, who was walking not far away, was also stunned. His footsteps paused, and then he walked towards Chen Chen in surprise.
"Okay, no need to come near me."
Chen Chen immediately waved his hand, and two black knights walked up next to him and restrained Hannibal in place.
"Isolate him first, provide him with good food and drink, and tell him the ins and outs of the outside world."
Chen Chen gave instructions and then turned around and left without looking back...
Meteorite…
If Chen Chen still had a trace of doubt before meeting Hannibal, then at this time, he had completely given up the last trace of luck.
When he saw Hannibal just now, a voice seemed to sound in his mind, completely merging him with Hannibal.
Hannibal suddenly paused at that time. It was obvious that the other party had similar feelings.
Strictly speaking, he and Hannibal should have been the first people to come into contact with meteorites. After the meteorites fell on the earth, large-scale human contact began.
But now, I had nightmares for two consecutive nights, and the key word in the dream was fusion.
A similar way of death also appeared in reality. If Chen Chen didn't take it seriously, then he wouldn't be Chen Chen anymore.
Meteorite…
Fusion…
When these two factors are superimposed, everyone who has been in contact with the meteorite begins to experience a strange fusion death. Although the relationship between the deceased and the meteorite has not yet been determined, in Chen Chen's judgment, this factor But it has been established.
As for the reason, Chen Chen has two judgments:
First, maybe that kind of meteorite contains a rule that humans have never seen before, and everyone who comes into contact with the meteorite under certain conditions will be affected, such as a memetic effect.
Second, it is known that the meteorite contains the body fluid of a certain creature. Perhaps this body fluid can assimilate humans into the corresponding life form, and this life form has its own consciousness or instinct. Once the two life forms meet, will be merged automatically.
However, both judgment systems have loopholes, because memes will never exist in the form of life. Even the "Weeping Angel" which is closer to the form of life is essentially just a rule and not a real life.
Moreover, if it really contains memes, it is impossible for Little X, who also knows all about the effects of memes, not to notice it at all.
The second point is that if this kind of body fluid can assimilate humans, then the infection of life will naturally trigger an alarm on the fully automatic medical platform. However, Chen Chen had just used that device before, but he did not notice anything abnormal in his body.
What's more, Chen Chen clearly remembered that neither he nor Hannibal had ever really come into contact with that kind of meteorite. When he picked up the cooled crystals of biological fluids, he was completely isolated by protective clothing.
There are loopholes in both judgments, which makes it very difficult.
Because this meant that Chen Chen didn't even know what the enemy was, so he was forced to go into battle to kill the enemy.
These thoughts flashed through Chen Chen's mind, and then he arrived at the exclusive conference room for the Lilith meeting.
As Xiao X turned on the holographic projection, he was already sitting in his seat, with the number "05" placed in front of him.
After waiting for a while in front of the conference table, a dark figure appeared on the seat with the 04 grade. He nodded to Chen Chen, and then sat down in his seat to wait silently.
When the hour was about to expire, the owners of the remaining three seats finally arrived, and the Black Light Foundation's top meeting finally began.
"05."
As soon as the meeting started, 02 asked, "We are all busy people. If it is not necessary, it would be better to have fewer meetings like this."
"I don't want to bother you if it's not necessary."
Chen Chen knew that this kind of thing could not be postponed for a long time, so he went directly to the topic, "It's just that this time it is very urgent, and I have to call you directly, because this time may be related to the rise and fall of mankind... I don't know if you have received any messages from all over the world. Fusion death case report?”
"Fusion death? What is that?"
01 asked immediately.
Chen Chen looked at the remaining three people, but they were all black figures with no expressions at all.
"I haven't received any reports like what you said."
"Me too… "
02 and 03 also spoke.
"It seems that you are indeed taking care of everything."
Chen Chen nodded. He was not surprised that these people did not know about it, because those who could become the supervisors of the Black Light Foundation must be the leaders of the four continents. Maybe some people are not presidents, but there must be people behind them. Presidential shadow.
Therefore, it is normal that this strange death case that just broke out did not reach their ears.
With a casual stroke of his hand, twisted and strange corpse pictures suddenly appeared in front of everyone, "Everyone, please look, this is the fusion death that occurred in the Central Continent, European District, Indian District and other places. It is a symbol of It is the phenomenon of body fusion of two or more people..."
