"Many of them have gone home. Wait, I will retrieve the information of those people again." Yuehua seemed to have thought of something, closed her eyes and entered the network again, and soon opened her eyes in shock, " Your worries have really come true. Those students continue to disappear after leaving school. Now three people have been confirmed missing after leaving school. One of them disappeared in the toilet of a bar, and two others disappeared in their own homes. There is even a student whose parents have completely disappeared..."
"So, all the missing persons were caused by contact with other missing persons?" Zhang Heng looked extremely solemn and thought, "It is basically certain that this is indeed a curse meme. And what causes the meme to spread? Is it close contact with other infected people? It is still unclear what kind of contact it is transmitted through, is it through physical contact or even through sound? Airborne?"
"I think the mode of infection cannot be transmitted by sound or air. Otherwise, in just three or four days, the entire earth would have fallen." Yuehua denied, "Physical contact transmission is the most likely possibility, but in fact, I think it is more likely. It's like regional transmission. After all, I found that every missing person seemed to have entered the room of those missing people before disappearing. "
"Regional transmission?" Zhang Heng was suddenly stunned. The next second, he seemed to be enlightened. An idea flashed in his mind. He took a sharp breath of cold air, then quickly turned around and looked at the position of the white shadow that had just appeared!
As if he thought of something, he and Yuehua looked at each other, and they both said loudly at the same time,
"Grudge!"
"Grudge" refers to the curse cast by a person who dies with a grudge. Because after a person dies in vain, the inner anger will produce a strong resentment, which will last for a long time in the place where the deceased lived, forming a kind of curse. The power of the curse accumulates in the residence of the deceased. Anyone who touches it will die, and a new "curse" will be generated, which will continue to spread the horrific death. The "curse" will always guard the haunted house, cursing every visitor who enters...
This passage is the opening line of "The Grudge".
"If interpreted according to meme science, it is that for some reason, after a person dies because he is full of resentment, a phenomenal meme is formed. The form of this meme is: when the person enters the meme The house in which it is located will be infected by the meme, and then after a period of incubation, the memetic effect will begin, killing the infected person, and then the room where the infected person died will form a new source of memetic infection.”
At this moment, Zhang Heng analyzed in a low voice, "In other words, as the first source of infection appears, more and more infected people will be infected, and the houses of infected people will continue to become new sources of infection. Keep going and eventually destroy the entire world!"
"If this is really the case, then I'm afraid we are really in danger this time." Yuehua sighed, "Ordinary residential buildings are fine, but what is really troublesome is that some public places have become sources of infection, so the meme The number of infected people will increase exponentially at an incredible speed!”
"Yes, although it seems that only twenty or thirty people are missing now, in fact, you have no idea how many people have been infected by memes." Zhang Heng said with a bitter smile, "Moreover, memes are intangible and qualityless. It cannot be detected at all, and we have no way of knowing which house is the source of infection.”
"Then what should we do?" Yuehua frowned, "Do we need to use orbital cannons to level London?"
"I don't think memes can be eliminated in this way." Zhang Heng shook his head, "If memes can be eliminated just like this, then it won't be called the first impact. It's even possible that when someone is infected with memes After the house is destroyed, the memes will be completely released, which may cause a more severe infection. "
"Then what should we do?" Yuehua said at a loss.
"The most important thing now is to immediately control all infected people." A flash of decisiveness flashed in Zhang Heng's eyes, "As long as the infected people are taken into custody and the infected area is sealed off, this meme can be controlled! Yuehua, Send out all the clone warriors, this is our only hope! If we survive this disaster, we will have several years or even decades to develop. If we cannot survive, then the entire human civilization will be completely destroyed!"
…
India.
In the suburbs of Mumbai, inside the Galaxy Technical Services Company, all the clone warriors stationed responded to the call!
In the sky, Falcon fighter planes continued to emerge from nothingness, and then quickly landed in the square. The group of clone warriors had already put on doomsday armor and entered the Falcon fighter planes one by one. Whenever a Falcon fighter plane was full, this one The Falcon fighter will take off again, turning into a stream of light and flying towards the distance...
Somewhere on the sea surface of the British Virgin Islands, there are also Falcon fighter planes emerging from the sea water, loaded with fully armed clone warriors, flying in the direction of Britain!
The Stellar Life Science Foundation has set up strongholds around the world, and each stronghold is stationed with several or even dozens of clone warriors. At this time, more than 50,000 clone legions continue to gather over the UK, even faintly. The shadow of the C-class battleship can also be seen. Although it is in a stealth state, some people still noticed something unusual in the sky.
The entire United Kingdom of Great Britain is filled with a tense atmosphere of black clouds and overwhelming tension.
At this moment, the British Prime Minister was staying in his newly renovated room. The impact of Reinhardt had not faded away, and at this time, several new cases began to trouble him.
"Disappearance case?" A strange look flashed in the Prime Minister's eyes. He looked at the files on his desk, his expression showing solemnity and unprecedented distress, "Damn it, what happened? First it was that Reinhardt, and now Another large-scale disappearance case, this is simply..."
"Your Excellency Prime Minister!" Outside, his secretary knocked on the door.
"Please come in." The Prime Minister threw the files on the table and said with a bad look, "How about it, did you find anything on the body of the dead Reinhardt?"
"Sorry, Your Excellency, Prime Minister." The secretary lowered his head and said, "Because the body was burned so severely, most of it was carbonized. Even if there is no carbonization inside, the protein has been severely damaged and hydrolyzed into shorter peptide chains or even individual amino acids have lost their research value.”
"Damn it, that Zhang Heng must have done it on purpose!" The Prime Minister suddenly slammed the table, his face even more ugly, "Let the person in charge of research come to see me!"
"This..." The secretary seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then spoke with some difficulty, "Your Excellency, the Prime Minister, Dr. Adolf Nightingale, who is in charge of research, mysteriously disappeared in the laboratory last night..."
