I Have A Super USB Drive

The Minaret Experimental Base, in a level 5 biosafety laboratory.

More than a dozen researchers stood in the command room, silently looking out the window at the two delta-level experimenters lying on the test bench.

The two experimenters were injected with a large amount of sedatives and had already fallen into a deep sleep. Moreover, they did not wear any protective equipment and were completely exposed to the air in the laboratory.

As for these two people, one had already been infected with the protoplasm liquid before, while the other was transported into the laboratory for the first time and had not been infected before.

This request for the experiment was personally sent by X-111, and it came from the person with the highest authority in the Spire Experiment—His Excellency Chen Chen.

Although he didn't quite understand Chen Chen's intentions, the director of the laboratory still planned to fulfill Chen Chen's request faithfully.

"According to the instructions above, put the infected person into the isolation cabin."

In the command room, the director of research gave instructions, and then several bionics immediately followed suit, and the division of labor clearly sent the infected delta-level experimenter into the isolation cabin.

The so-called isolation cabin is a kind of closed sleeping bag made of soft plastic, which can fit a person. There is an oxygen device next to it, which can automatically supply oxygen to the inside.

After finishing all this, the supervisor continued, "Now release a conscious infected person, let him enter the laboratory, and let all the bionics exit at the same time."

These orders were followed by the bionics one by one, and then a delta-level experimenter with a somewhat terrified expression was released. This was an Ovambo man. He first looked around in horror and saw the bionics who were holding him hostage. After leaving, he started to pace around in a little bit of surprise.

However, he could only see a large number of instruments in the laboratory and the two stretcher carts in the center of the laboratory. As for the people behind the observation window on the second floor, he could not see them at all.

Because the observation window is just a mirror when viewed in the laboratory.

And on the experimental platform, there were two of his companions lying down, one of them was completely exposed, and the other was sealed in the isolation cabin.

The experimenter who was not infected before and was completely exposed to the laboratory environment was marked as No. 1, while the experimenter who was closed and infected was number 2.

However, when he saw experimenter No. 2 in the isolation cabin, his expression suddenly froze. His face was slightly distorted, as if he was struggling with something.

This entanglement only lasted for a moment. Gradually, his eyes became more and more rigid. At the same time, he began to walk towards the direction of the two stretchers step by step.

Seeing this scene, all the researchers standing in the command room immediately understood that the infected had activated the fusion state at this time.

Sure enough, the infected person ignored No. 1. He went straight to the No. 2 test bed that was already infected but sealed in the isolation compartment, and roughly tore open the isolation compartment. When the other party was completely exposed At that moment, the infected person suddenly showed a look of satisfaction, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and at the same time, he was lying on the other person's body...

crunch...

With the sound of flesh and blood squirming, the two infected people slowly merged together under the gaze of many researchers...

"Very good, next is the control group, the comatose No. 1 remains the same, clean out this fused corpse, and replace the No. 2 group!"

Following the order of the supervisor, another experimenter who was also infected and also sedated was lifted up and put into a new isolation cabin.

But this time,

No. 1 was poured with tens of milliliters of protoplast liquid.

According to the infection rules known to everyone, No. 1 is definitely infected at this time.

After that, everyone waited for about three hours to eliminate the error as much as possible, and then a sane infected person was put in again.

In everyone's thinking, since a conscious infected person has been put in, according to the principle of priority, this infected person must first fuse with No. 1. Although No. 1 was not infected before, but now he is being injected After drinking the protoplasmic liquid, he was definitely infected.

Surprisingly, the infected person still chose No. 2 in the end.

"What's going on? Shouldn't number 1 have been infected?"

The director of the laboratory suddenly showed a puzzled look, "Could it be that the infection is not deep enough?"

In order to answer their doubts, they waited another three hours, and then repeated the above experiment.

However, the newly infected person still chose No. 2, as if No. 1 did not exist...

"Could it be that No. 1 was not infected?"

Everyone in the entire laboratory showed a look of surprise, "But, how is this possible..."

...

After a few hours.

This experiment has been carried out more than ten times. At first, many people thought it might be an error, but every time the fusion was all the infected people chose the number 2 in the isolation cabin, while the other side was always exposed to the outside. None of the infected chose to fuse.

In the end, the supervisor even directly withdrew the choice of No. 2, and then let a conscious infected person in, but the result was still the same, and all the infected people were still unwilling to integrate with No. 2.

"What's the matter? Even if the comatose personnel come into contact with the extraterrestrial protoplasmic liquid in large quantities, they won't be infected by this liquid?"

Some people suddenly asked in surprise.

"How can it be……"

Many people quarreled in disorder.

But what they didn't know was that in a certain place deep underground, Chen Chen had completely revealed his expression. He stood up as if he had grasped something, and paced around again, "So it's really like this? I never thought of..."

"Your Excellency the Godfather?"

Little X's voice came, "If there is no problem with this experiment, doesn't it mean that unconscious personnel will not be infected by protoplasmic fluid?"

"That's right, the infected want to fuse, but they ignore No. 1 who doesn't have any protective measures, but they have to fuse No. 2 in the isolation cabin. What does this mean?"

Chen Chen asked rhetorically, "Doesn't this mean that unconscious people cannot be infected? Because there is no infection, infected people will not choose comatose people as fusion targets at all?"

"Then the question is, why as long as you are in a coma all the time, you won't be infected even if you drink the protoplasmic liquid directly? What is the difference between a comatose person and an ordinary person?"

"The answer is simple, that is, they are not conscious!"

As Chen Chen talked to himself, he couldn't help taking a deep breath. He could only feel his heart pounding. He couldn't tell whether it was excitement or fear, "After abandoning all the impossible, no matter how absurd the remaining option is, it will be impossible. It is the final answer... that is to say, this kind of protoplasmic liquid from outside, what they infect is not our body, but our consciousness!"

"This is an infection of consciousness!"

"Conscious infection?"

Little X muttered in a low voice, "No wonder dead people cannot be infected, animals and plants cannot be infected, even people in a coma cannot be infected, but conscious people cannot prevent infection even if they wear protective clothing..."

At this moment, all the clues appeared like cocoons. Only this kind of explanation can explain why some people were obviously not quarantined, but the infected people ignored them and chose those comatose people who were quarantined in the isolation cabin to fuse. .

However, Xiao X suddenly changed his face again, "If it is really a consciousness infection, then doesn't it mean that all the researchers at the Minaret Experimental Base have also been infected?"

"No, it shouldn't be possible."

However, Chen Chen shook his head confidently, "It's not a meme, how could it be infected by outside observation? This fusion death phenomenon is absolutely impossible to rely on visual transmission, only ghost things like memes can It spreads visually and auditorily, so in my inference, at least two conditions need to be met before the protoplasmic fluid can be infected!"

"First, it must be conscious contact."

"The second is the distance!"

Chen Chen concluded, "No matter how powerful the infection ability is, there will be a distance limit, whether it is a virus or a bacterium, so of course the protoplasmic liquid that can infect human consciousness is also the same... Do you understand? Whether it is seeing or hearing Touching, touching or touching those infected dead bodies, or even touching the protoplasmic liquid, will not lead to infection. The real reason for infection is consciousness and distance. Infect!"

"It turned out to be the distance?"

Little X suddenly realized, she thought carefully, "If you didn't make a mistake in your judgment, I don't think this distance is too far, and it can even be said to be very close. The range does not exceed a radius of two meters. If it exceeds a radius of two meters, even If you are conscious, the protoplasmic liquid and those fused corpses will not be able to infect humans, otherwise the scientists who are researching in the command room in the steeple experimental base will have been recruited long ago!"

"Yes, the reason why I judged that distance is a factor is because consciousness is difficult to define."

Chen Chen nodded and said with emotion, "People's consciousness is divergent. What people see with their eyes, hear with their ears, and touch with their bodies are also contacts at the level of consciousness. If there is no distance limit, then the infected person will There is definitely more than such a small number, so the limited distance for this infection is definitely not far away, I think the same as you, the distance is between one meter and two meters."

After inferring all this, Chen Chen only felt that his thoughts became smoother and smoother. Under his order, the steeple moved again and began to use more delta-level experimenters to do distance tests. After dozens of experiments, more than a hundred deltas died High-level experimenters finally tested that the infection radius of this protoplasmic liquid was 118.36 centimeters!

In other words, as long as it exceeds this distance, it is completely safe to stand by and watch those corpses!

"But why is there a virus that infects consciousness? Can consciousness also affect the body?"

Till now, Little X was still a little puzzled, "It's normal if they are memes, but they are not memes, they are just ordinary biological protoplasms."

"You mean supernatural?"

Chen Chen raised his head from his thoughts, "No, it's not supernatural. It's like the power in my mind—field energy. Although field energy is invisible and substanceless, it can affect matter and make me do something beyond Newton's law. action."

"If I'm not wrong, there may be strange powers similar to field energy in this protoplasmic liquid. Even if it is supernatural and beyond the scope of science, it is just nature beyond our human understanding, and the science we understand. ..."

"Humans often use terms such as supernatural and miracles to describe things they don't understand, but in fact, is all this really beyond science? Even memes are within the system of science, let alone this integration Dead." First post www.(x81zw) m./x81zw/

Chen Chen concluded, "So, the protoplasmic liquid we are facing is just an unknown science, and what we have to do now is to find a countermeasure to stop everything that is happening! X, the information we deduce Send it to the Black Light Foundation, so that all continents of the world can get this news, as long as you master this law, this disaster may be suppressed.” Genius remembers in a second 噺バ一中文m.x/8/1/z/ w.c/o/m/

"Understood, I have sent the information."

Little X replied, "However, the situation is not good. The fusion death event is still in the outbreak stage. It has been a week since the meteorite fell, and the number of deaths has exceeded 100,000. Although the protoplasmic liquid fell on the earth three to five days ago It will lose its activity, but every time it infects a human being, it will cause this person to become a new source of infection."

"At present, the world has suspended air routes, blocked ports, and even blocked similar remarks on the Internet, but ordinary people have already noticed that something is wrong, especially many cities and regions have been closed. According to the survey According to the established model, the entire society is likely to collapse in half a month, and we must seize the time to find a way to suppress it."

"And, even you..."

Little X suddenly stopped talking, and his tone was a little frustrated.

Chen Chen just shook his head. He himself was infected with this ghost thing. Although he is still in the incubation period, it is because he has not met the second infected person. Once he leaves here, it is very likely that he will become unconscious immediately. Fusion in a controlled manner, by then, I will be dead.

However, do I want to stay in such a dark place for the rest of my life?

Not only that, Chen Chen found that every time he fell asleep, he would continue to have that weird nightmare. It seemed that there was a will in the dark that kept urging him to fuse with other infected people, but Chen Chen's will was higher. For the time being it doesn't matter much.

But as time passed, he could feel that the will was getting bigger and bigger, and it was getting more and more irresistible.

Chen Chen suspects that as more and more dead people die, the consciousness of these dead people will become the nourishment for that will, making it stronger and stronger...

Although this conjecture sounded too fanciful, even Chen Chen himself didn't want to believe it, but he somehow sensed that his worries were about to become a reality.

Some kind of thing that cannot be understood by modern science is taking human life as nourishment and is gradually waking up...
