Chapter 14 The Infected

Seeing Chen Meiyue appear at the door, Chu Cheng's first reaction was that he was broken. Could it be that the fact that he controlled a rich second-generation transvestite from another world to fly around outside in the middle of the night was exposed?

But then I thought about it and thought it shouldn't be the case. No matter how much it is said that a gamer remotely controls a superhero from another world to go out and have fun, it is too abstract, and ordinary brain circuits should not be able to think of it.

It is more likely that the other party is here to investigate the accident at school yesterday.

But soon he will find that he guessed correctly, but not completely.

"Come in and sit down?"

Chu Cheng asked politely and swallowed back the second half of the sentence, "My family is quite big."

"No, I'm working." Chen Meiyue chuckled, "When I take a day off, I can come over to your house and have a good time, little brother, but not today."

"Then today is..."

"Our team just finished some errands and was about to return to the headquarters, and we happened to pass by here." Chen Meiyue explained, "The superiors said they have something to talk to you about, so we came to pick you up and take you to the headquarters. Is it convenient for you now?"

Are their superiors looking for them by name?

This was a bit unexpected. Chu Cheng thought that if he really wanted to investigate and collect evidence, he wouldn't need the leader to take action, right? Is there anything special about him?

"Okay." Chu Cheng thought for a while and responded, "Then I'll go change my clothes first."

He went back to the house to change his clothes, and soon went out and followed Chen Meiyue downstairs. The black van had already parked at the bottom of the building, and the bald agent Luo Yajun from yesterday was leaning against the car and smoking.

When he saw Chu Cheng, he grinned.

"We meet again." He handed a cigarette to Chu Cheng, "Want one?"

"Thank you, but I don't smoke." Chu Cheng waved his hand and refused.

"Ha, you're welcome. There may be more opportunities for us to deal with you in the future."

"Thanks, but I really don't smoke."

Chu Cheng refused again, and at the same time he wondered if there was any other meaning to his words.

But when he asked a question, neither Luo Yajun nor Chen Meiyue meant to explain. They just smiled, opened the door and took him into the car.

Tang Li, the innocent logistics girl, was also in the car. She was still holding the tablet in her little hand. When Chu Cheng got in the car, she raised her head and greeted him politely.

There is a saying that Tang Li's girl is actually very good-looking. If you look at the campus where Chu Cheng is studying, she will definitely be a school beauty.

However, as the saying goes, there is no harm without comparison. But in fact, it does not mean that appearance cannot be beat. After all, appearance is a thing that everyone has their own preferences. It is difficult for you to say that any judge is fair.

But Chen Meiyue is an E-level powerhouse, and Tang Li's sister is only half a step from the peak of A-level to B-level by visual inspection. She is short of several levels... Oh no, she is short of several big ones.

realm.

Since ancient times, heroes have loved high mountains, and horses have never been heard of riding on flat rivers. I can't beat this one, and there's nothing I can do about it because of the difference in level.

After Chu Cheng sat down in the back seat, the car started to start.

Luo Yajun was sitting in the passenger seat and humming a tune. Tang Li was seriously waving the sensor pen to write and draw on her tablet. Chen Meiyue was looking through documents with her long, snow-white legs crossed...

...Hmm, wait a minute, so who is driving the car?

Only then did Chu Cheng notice the young man driving the car. He had unkempt black hair, a pale complexion that looked like he was malnourished, and dark circles under his eyes that looked like he hadn't woken up. Chu Cheng suddenly couldn't help but wonder if he was riding in this man's car.

A bad idea.

The man seemed to notice that Chu Cheng was looking at him, and raised his eyelids as a greeting: "Kitagawa Junpei."

Neon name?

Of course, it's just Chu Cheng who thinks so. There are no national boundaries in this world, so it's not surprising that names with characteristics of any country in the original world appear around him.

However, the young man mumbled something like this as a self-introduction, and then he stopped talking and continued to shut up and concentrate on driving.

"Let me teach you some basic knowledge first."

Chen Meiyue threw the pile of documents aside and sat across from Chu Cheng.

"You must still be curious about what happened in your school yesterday." She said, "To be honest, your classmates were infected."

"Infection?" Chu Cheng was stunned, "What kind of virus is it?"

"It's not what people generally understand." Chen Meiyue shook her head, "No one knows where the specific source is, but from a certain day, the world suddenly entered an out-of-control track.

Some unknown ancient existence is awakening and will use various media to infect humans in various ways that are difficult to prevent.

The first thing that is affected is often the human spirit. For this, we have a specialized monitoring system to conduct targeted assessments of infected individuals.

Individuals with an infection level of less than 10% are generally considered to be within the normal range, but they are relatively more sensitive, more irritable or more likely to be depressed, have greater mood swings, and can easily lead to some impulsive behaviors.

When the infection level is between 10% and 50%, the target will be able to observe obvious abnormalities and may become extremely mechanical, numb or crazy. In addition, infected persons in this range will lose consciousness, show strong aggression, and have the ability to infect others.

instinct.

The degree of infection is between 50% and 99%. As this range deepens, the above situation will become more serious. And the physical potential of the infected person will be developed to the maximum extent, reaching the limit of the human body in all directions. At the same time, the infected person at this level

There may be a strong vitality - this also varies from person to person.

We have seen some exaggerated cases where people can survive even severe injuries such as decapitation."

Chu Cheng immediately thought of the scene when he played the game for the first time last night and saw the man named Edge decapitating himself with a knife in the Klein Building conference room.

So is that the infected person whose infection level is close to 100%?

However, this awakening ancient existence, as well as the manifestation of affecting the body to the physical body, somehow gave him some strange associations.

From the initial stage of pollution, the sanity level will go crazy. When the sanity level drops to a certain level, you will start to go crazy. After you go crazy enough, your mental state may also be reflected in the physical body, causing some changes that cannot be explained by science...

So that ancient existence you are talking about, is it possible that its old man’s surname happens to be Ke and he also likes to give out candy?

"It is still possible to save if the infection level is below 50%. The lower the coefficient, the smaller the impact will be, and the difficulty of restoration will be lower," Chen Meiyue said. "Like your classmates yesterday, although they were infected, the highest coefficient did not exceed 40%.

, so they are fine.”

After saying this, Chu Cheng thought of something immediately. He thought for a moment and then asked: "What if it reaches 100%?"

The third interval division only reaches 99%, so of course there should be 100%, right?

"Of course." Chen Meiyue nodded and said that Mr. Chu's understanding is teachable. "There are very few people who can reach 100% infection level. At the same time, 100% also marks a watershed."

She paused and emphasized her tone meaningfully.

“A watershed beyond the concept of ‘human’.”
