NO.524 Curse the Dead Zone!
At this moment, in the honeycomb base camp on the other side of the earth, Zhang Hengzheng sat steadily in a huge room. The walls in front, back, left and right of the room were covered with dense 3D virtual screens. These screens were only 20 to 30 centimeters in diameter, but they covered the four walls and roofs of the room.
"Entering the third process, all cages and lights are turned off again for 30 seconds."
In the room, Yuehua stood beside Zhang Heng, and the screens were all neatly trapped in 100% darkness.
Zhang Heng did not use infrared rays and other monitoring equipment, because playing tricks with memes is a very childish and ridiculous behavior. The first law of ghost-like cursed memes is that when cursed memes affect life forms, there cannot be a third-person observer. Even if it is observed in monitoring or observation in infrared rays, this is a law, just like the law of physics, without any suspense.
At this time in the darkness, Zhang Heng could still hear waves of moans and clucking sounds. If anyone heard this sound, he would probably be frightened and immediately escape from the room. At the very least, he would curl up into the corner of the room and lose all resistance.
This sound is full of coldness and malice, like the sound of a dead corpse, or like the purest evil thoughts, as if it can pull people into some unknown abyss.
However, there was no difference in this sound in front of Zhang Heng. The continuous giggling sounds did not affect him at all. It was not until a long thirty seconds passed and all the screens lit up, and Zhang Heng looked at one of the screens with interest.
On the screen, it was a Mexican male face. He was also a student of St. Mary's Queen's College, named Barry Lynch. Through his outstanding performance in the first and second rounds, he had successfully attracted the attention of Zhang Heng and Yuehua.
"Very good. It seems that he is not only smart, but also lucky." After seeing the other party successfully survived in the third round of experiments, Zhang Heng said lightly. He looked at Barry, who was pale on the screen and sighed, "It's a pity that if it weren't for ghost memes, they would be unsolvable. Once infected, they would die. Otherwise, I would really bring him into the Star Foundation."
"If his luck is really good, he wouldn't have been infected with this meme." Yuehua said seriously again, "There are 1,600 people infected this time, and finally 1,030 people survived. The survival rate is about 64%, and the data is 10% higher than before. The data is being uploaded...uploaded."
After saying that, Yuehua immediately looked back at Zhang Heng in amazement, "Commander, your original speculation was indeed correct. 'self-belief' or 'self-hypnosis' can indeed help delay the meme burst period.
Zhang Heng nodded and said nothing.
"Tell us how to get out!"
"Tell me how we can survive! I want to know all!"
"Let me or leave, that's my problem, please!"
"Tell me a second way to resist memes!"
Almost as Yuehua and Zhang Heng were talking, many people shouted on the surveillance as if they had grabbed the life-saving straw.
Barry on the surveillance video also frowned and thought for a while, and finally said tentatively, "Tell me the second way to resist memes!"
Yuehua smiled slightly and said again without waiting for Zhang Heng, "Very good. This time, Mr. Barry, an observer infected by cage No. 207, first grabbed the problem. His question is, "What is the second way to resist memes!"
"Oh Fark!"
"Damn it!"
"Impossible, he cheated!"
"Baby!"
During the surveillance, a loud shout came, Zhang Hengqi remained motionless, and Yuehua didn't look at all, and still said, "He asked very well, because every method of resisting memes is the cost of our foundation's countless lives. This is how to summarize the laws of blood and fire. Although these laws cannot be guaranteed to be 100% correct, they can guarantee more than 80%.
As he spoke, without waiting for everyone to scold in despair, Yuehua continued to say slowly, "In fact, the previous three rounds of experiments and all the words have revealed a lot of information about resisting curses, such as:
1. When cursed memes affect life forms, there is no third-person observer. Everyone knows the laws of horror movies? In the horror ghost movies of Japan and South Korea, the basic reason for death is because of being alone. This rule can also apply to cursed memes, because cursed memes seem to be related to quantum superposition.
2. Strengthen your courage. The longer the incubation period of the meme, the longer the incubation period of the meme, the shorter the incubation period of the meme. When watching horror movies, you will find that sometimes ghosts do not kill the victim at the beginning, but cats tease the prey and constantly appear like ghosts. The prey becomes more and more afraid, and ghosts become more and more fierce, until the ghosts kill the prey in the end. In fact, this is not the evil taste of ghosts, but a natural phenomenon when cursed memes affect life forms. In which when the infected person is in a normal state and the ghosts are frightened by their subordinates, they can be called the incubation period. As the incubation period deepens, the infected person is more and more afraid of the unknown Moyin, and once the outbreak period reaches, it is death."
After talking nonstop, Yuehua suddenly said again, "Then let me talk about the third way to resist cursed memes, that is, to be unconscious or sleepy!"
Everyone was stunned when they heard this.
"Yes, you heard it right, it's just a coma and a sleeping state." Yuehua nodded, "Based on previous experiments, we concluded that when the infected person is in a sleeping active or passive sleep, he will not be attacked. After all, everyone should have never heard of someone being killed by a ghost in his sleep. Of course, except for Freddy in "Ghost Street", but except for Freddy ghosts in Europe and the United States, there is indeed no one in Asia who is killed by cursed memes in coma and sleep. Even if the memes enter the outbreak period, the infected person will have to wait until he wakes up first and then be killed by the memes..."
"This is the third way to resist memes that the foundation has revealed to everyone."
As soon as this passage came out, everyone fell into silence, but soon, these people started roaring even more crazily. Many people were yelling loudly about how they could fall asleep in such an environment. Only some calmer people began to look at the glass wall next to them frequently, as if they were waiting for the fourth round of experiment to start, they bumped into it and forced themselves into a coma.
As the fourth round started, many people really hit the glass wall as the other party said. With a thud of thumping in the video, even Yuehua was amazed at the potential of human beings. In the face of life and death, even the pain became so unimportant.
Barry is the same, and he is very lucky that he successfully knocked himself out of the first collision. In the darkness, Zhang Heng in front of the screen could still hear a cold sound of giggling... depriving the lives of infected people who did not make up their minds or did not successfully faint.
Thirty seconds passed, and when the lights lighted up again, more than 800 people survived!
"There are 1,030 people infected this time, and the final survival rate is 849. The survival rate is about 82%, and the data is 18% higher than before. The data is being uploaded...uploaded."
Yuehua shook her head. The next second, everyone's cage automatically sprayed a large amount of clear water from the top of the cage. Stimulated by the clear water, all the people who were knocked out of coma cried and got up. Some covered their blood all over their heads and kept wailing, while others were furious and kept roaring in the water, as if they were venting their unparalleled anger at the Star Foundation.
Yuehua shook her head, and a sigh flashed in her eyes. It was not that they were cruel, but that these people were basically sentenced to death when they were infected with memes. They just used the surplus value of these people and tried hard to find a way to fight against memes. Although the method was a bit inhumane, it was helpless.
If you want to blame, you can only blame them for their bad luck.
At this time, just when Yuehua looked complicated, Zhang Heng said lightly, "It doesn't matter whether the traditional process continues or not. The data has been collected almost the same. I plan to temporarily add an experimental process, which will make these people feel more comfortable."
Yuehua turned her head in surprise, then smiled, "Okay, Commander, you have a day of kindness, but what kind of temporary experiment is it?"
"The so-called temporary experiment is the last question I have always wanted to verify cursed memes." Zhang Heng did not care about Yuehua's eyes, but said calmly, "From the previous laws, we can know that 'no observer' is one of the important conditions for meme outbreaks. So, does that mean that when this infected person always stays in a third-person observation situation, he will never die?"
"Of course not."
Yuehua wrinkled her nose and firmly cut off the railway. "Not to mention whether it can guarantee that a person will be permanently watched for decades or hundreds of years. Even if it can be guaranteed, who can guarantee that the 'gazeman' will not blink? Perhaps the gazeman will be infected in the outbreak stage in just one blink, and the infected person in the outbreak will be completely killed by the meme!"
"That's why I did this experiment." Zhang Heng nodded, turned to look at Yuehua, and smiled, "Don't forget, I have you."
Yuehua was stunned and then realized that although he did not belong to the conventional life, he was still within the scope of life. As long as he was life, he would have attention, even if he was an observer.
And it is precisely because I am an intelligent life and do not have the fatigue and patience of conventional life that for Yuehua, it is possible for a person to observe continuously for decades or even thousands of years. Of course, the premise is that the person is not dead after a thousand years.
But at this moment, Yuehua suddenly received some news, showing a hint of surprise and surprise, and murmured in a low voice, "No, how could it be, it's impossible!"
"What's wrong?" Zhang Heng's originally plain pupils shrank slightly, which made Yuehua, who was at the moment, feel this kind of emotion, which shows that something extremely incredible has happened!
"Your Excellency Commander!" Yuehua quickly showed a serious expression and reported, "In this 'cursive meme observation experiment', I used two counting methods, one of which was observed through video surveillance, and the other was to let the five hundred death row prisoners use the original counting method to count through the communication device, and then send the data to me, and the two were confirmed."
"At the time before, in the first three tests, all the data statistics were normal, but just now, the fourth statistics given to me by the D-level personnel had a conflict with my statistics!"
When Zhang Heng heard this, he was stunned, "Can it be those people's statistics wrong?"
"It is impossible. Five hundred people are divided into fifty groups, each with ten people. Each person is responsible for counting the number of people in the cage in one area. Then the ten people gather and add each other, and then report the data to me. This time, the data reported by all the groups are 727! Compared to the 849 people I observed, there are 122 people missing!" Yuehua said in surprise.
Zhang Heng's expression also became serious. He looked at the countless screens in front of him and whispered, "In other words, have cursed memes already begun to affect electronic instruments?"
"That's right, I have ordered the D-level personnel to find the 122 people who disappeared based on the previous information. They are..." Yuehua was about to speak, but suddenly her mouth opened, but she didn't say anything. At the same time, Zhang Heng also saw that some people who were originally quarreling in the cage disappeared directly under her nose on some screens in front of him...
"The number of people here should be right..." Zhang Heng whispered bitterly.
"No, it's not this..." Yuehua's expression became even more serious. "Once we find that these cursed humans are false, they will really disappear. This is inevitable. And it is not this that surprised me, but..."
"Some of the D-level personnel have begun to disappear..."
A glimmer flashed in Zhang Heng's eyes, and he suddenly leaned back and breathed out, "Two possibilities."
"The first possibility is that cursed memes automatically treat the entire island temporary base as a house. Any human inside the island base will be infected by the meme."
"The second possibility is that when a curse meme breaks out, when a dead infected person reaches a certain critical point, the area will automatically form a 'curse dead zone', so that the curse can break through the limit of 'only enter the infected house can be transmitted'. In this area, all uninfected humans will be infected by curse, resulting in an astonishing 100% infection rate..."
"I would rather believe it is the first one." Yuehua's face changed suddenly when she heard this. She was an intelligent life herself, and her intelligence can be imagined. Since Zhang Heng could list the most logical first point and then put forward the second point, it means that even Zhang Heng herself might be inclined toward the second point!
"It's a pity that I tend to be the second type." Zhang Heng waved his hand, "Do you remember my previous premonition? When I was in London, I said, "'I have an unknown premonition. It seems that every time one more person dies in London, the city will become colder than before..."
"That is to say..." Yuehua opened her mouth, revealing heavy weight in her expression, "It is very likely that London has turned into the kind of permanent area you are talking about..."
"Curse dead zone!"
