Chapter 220 Sun Hang's Data

"Oh, right!" Yang Qi suddenly changed the subject, as if she remembered something, "What about Sun Hang? How is Sun Hang doing now? What are the results of his meme analysis?"

“It’s out too…” When the researcher mentioned Sun Hang, his expression became as if he was constipated. “Very strange, his condition is very strange… If the change of Ye Fu just now was shocking, then the change of Sun Hang is completely puzzling…”

"Confused? What does that mean?" Yang Qi moved Wang Xiyi's meme analysis report aside and clicked on another report marked with Sun Hang's ID.

"His meme frequency... has not changed at all." The researcher said, "This is so strange. He absorbed so many mutated violent memes, how could there be no change at all?"

The meme frequencies in the report showed many complex curves, but when Yang Qi moved the curves in the two tables to the same position, he found that the two almost completely overlapped, with only a slight error allowed in the detection process.

The previous table records the meme frequency before Sun Hang’s experiment began, and the next table records his current meme frequency.

Although the current memes are measured remotely using wireless equipment and may not be as accurate as the results of the last measurement, even if there are errors, these curves should not overlap completely!

Could it be... Could it be that the black dragon's meme was absorbed and assimilated by the Taotie? Yang Qi thought to herself, and she recalled the meme she had just detected... the "contradictory and harmonious" "music"...

She shoved the tablet back into the researcher's hands and quickly ran back to the monitoring device she was using.

The memes belonging to Sun Hang detected by the device were almost identical to those recorded in the researcher's report file. Yang Qi took a deep breath and quickly pushed the mouse wheel to scroll up the monitoring records.

Once, twice, three times...

Yang Qi checked it over and over again, and all the curves representing the meme frequencies recorded by the equipment were the same...

The "abnormal records" during the absorption process seemed to have been deleted without anyone noticing, and no trace of them could be found in the device.

"How could this happen..." Yang Qi murmured absentmindedly, "How could it disappear..."

Those "messy" frequencies and fragments, that "music" with a strange beauty...all of this seemed to be just her imagination, something that had never happened in reality...

"Who else has recorded the changes in Sun Hang's meme frequency throughout the process?" Yang Qi asked loudly to the other researchers, "Collect all the data! Now! Immediately! Immediately!"

"What's wrong?" The old director turned and looked over. "Is there anything abnormal in his data?"

"Uh..." Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said, "There is nothing abnormal... but there is no change in the frequency of the memes before and after. This is really unreasonable."

"You seem a little nervous?"

"No, no... I just urged everyone to return to their jobs..." Yang Qi explained, "All the people present are professional researchers, but they acted like spectators... It's really embarrassing for our institute."

"Haha... it's human nature, it's human nature." The old director said with a smile, "Don't be too harsh on your colleagues, or you'll lose your popularity."

"..." Yang Qi pursed her lips, then nodded vigorously, "Got it, teacher."

All of Sun Hang's data was quickly transferred to Yang Qi's computer. She checked them one by one and found that they were exactly the same as what she had monitored.

"Were you watching the whole process? Did any abnormal situation occur during the recording process?" Yang Qi asked the researchers.

"I've been keeping an eye on the Night Fury's data. These data are automatically recorded by the computer." A researcher said, "But even if there are errors, they shouldn't be that big, right?"

"Yeah, I think there's nothing wrong with this data anyway." Another researcher said, "I think we should focus our work on Night Fury... Although her memes are now stable, no one knows whether there is a possibility of mutation. After all, there are similar precedents..."

"..." Yang Qi hesitated to speak, and finally just waved to others, then walked aside with her tablet computer.

"Xiao Qi, isn't your work intensity a bit too high recently?" The electric wheelchair brought the old director to Yang Qi's side. "I think it's time to give you a vacation."

"Teacher, are you kidding me..." Yang Qi said with a wry smile, "It's not the time for a holiday now. I have a lot of things waiting for me to deal with... Even if you give me a holiday, I'm not in the mood."

"As the saying goes, 'Sharpening the knife does not delay the chopping of wood. You idiot, you can't keep the string so tight. Be careful that the string will break with a pop one day!" The old director frowned and began to reproach.

"Well, let's not talk about this." Yang Qi asked while tidying up the things on the table, "Teacher, how is the situation in Lizhou City?"

"It's tragic." The old director shook his head. "There are a total of 176 villages in that Qiang settlement area registered with the Lizhou City Household Registration Administration. Except for those villages that were relocated to the resettlement area, all the rest were not spared."

"Hiss..." Yang Qi couldn't help but take a breath, "Have you figured out the number of people who died...and are missing?"

"It's hard to count," the old director continued. "The population census of the Qiang villages has been progressing very slowly. It's impossible for the household registration department of Lizhou City to go to the mountains to register every month... The last relatively complete statistical data was six years ago... According to the data from six years ago, the number of missing people is at least 20,000."

"Six years ago, the statistics showed that there were already 20,000 people... so there will probably be more now." Yang Qi murmured, "Chimera 17 moves too fast... it's hard to imagine what it will look like the next time we encounter it."

"Don't panic, don't be afraid." The old director looked calm and gently patted the armrest of the wheelchair. "When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth."

……

On the other side, Sun Hang and Wang Xiyi had already walked to the exit of the glass cover - this glass cover was formed in one go using a special processing method, and there was no gap from top to bottom. The so-called entrance and exit was actually an underground passage that passed over the bottom edge of the glass cover.

However, the two were stopped by several researchers.

"Sun Hang, you can come out, but Night Fury... according to regulations, she must stay in the test field for a full seven days of observation before she can come out." Song Yarong, who rushed to the scene with the old director, said, "There is nothing we can do about it. I hope you can understand."

"It's okay, I'm used to it." Wang Xiyi nodded.

"I don't have any objection... But can you help Lao Wang find a few sets of clothes? She is wearing Tai Sui's mycelium now."

"Okay, I'll have someone arrange it right away. You can rest assured that Ye Sha's living conditions during this period will be of the highest standard." Song Yarong took the initiative to step forward, took off her white coat, and put it on Wang Xiyi, "Use this for now, and clothes and other things will be delivered soon."

"The highest standard?" Sun Hang tilted his head. "Then what standard is the mirror room that locked me up for several days?"

"Standard specifications." Song Yarong said, "Everyone who has just been infected has to go through that level, but their mental state is always under monitoring. If there are signs that they are about to get out of control, the observation experiment will be terminated immediately?" "And then the person will be killed?"

"That's not necessarily true." Song Yarong shook her head, her long silver ponytail swinging back and forth with her movements. "Some people just have weak psychological endurance and are prone to mental symptoms... These people will be transferred to less stimulating observation rooms and receive professional psychological counseling. As long as there is no obvious change in the progress of the memetic infection, we will generally try our best to let the infected people have a normal life."

"What about the obvious changes in the course of infection?"

"Then we can only 'dispose of it harmlessly'." Song Yarong shrugged, "That will also help them get rid of it."

"It seems that I was quite lucky at the beginning." Sun Hang muttered.

"It has nothing to do with luck... Your meme frequency has been very stable. Unfortunately, the meme you transmitted to me was Tai Sui's meme. It would have been much better if it was Taotie's meme." Song Yarong said with some regret.

"So do you want to try it again?"

"Forget it." Song Yarong waved her hand and said, "I was just kidding. Who would like to hang around the gates of hell when they have nothing better to do?"

"Someone liked it before." Sun Hang glanced at Lao Wang out of the corner of his eye.

The long skirt woven from mycelium has been taken back by Sun Hang, and Wang Xiyi is now only wrapped in a thin white coat. Given the height difference between her and Song Yarong, the hem of the latter's coat, which can reach all the way down to her knees, can only barely cover one-third of Wang Xiyi's thighs. Coupled with the tail swinging back and forth behind her, it can be said that there is a risk of exposure at any time.

Fortunately, the researchers in the underground passage were all women - Song Yarong seemed to have considered this issue and did not allow other male researchers to enter the passage.

"That's it," Sun Hang said, "I'll go back first and wait for your good news."

"Okay, when I get out of prison, I'll go find you for a drink." Wang Xiyi smiled and waved at Sun Hang.

……

Sun Hang walked out of the passage, and Wang Xiyi, accompanied by Song Yarong, returned to the glass cover.

Compared to the clean interior of the glass cover, the situation outside the glass cover was a mess - many researchers were pushing equipment back and forth, all kinds of garbage and overturned tables and chairs were everywhere, and less than five meters away from Sun Hang, there was a shoe scattered on the ground that someone had dropped.

Two helicopters printed with the emblem of the Tianfu City Weird Treasures Research Institute hovered in the air, and the high-speed rotating blades made a huge noise.

Sun Hang took a deep breath of fresh air, stretched vigorously, then threw off the tattered protective suit hanging on his body, strode to the supply storage area, tore open a cardboard box, and took out a bottle of water from it... He was too lazy to even unscrew the bottle cap, but instead slid the liquid metal blade directly across the bottleneck, then raised his head and drank it violently.

He was dying of thirst...

All the water in his body was evaporated by the black dragon's flames, and the dragon blood he swallowed afterwards not only failed to relieve his thirst, but made it worse, burning away all the little water in his body... If Sun Hang was a normal person, he would have died of dehydration long ago...

wrong.

If I were a normal person, Sun Hang thought to himself, I would have turned into ashes before dying of dehydration.

He drank seven or eight 500 ml bottles of drinking water in a row, and his thirst was relieved.

After wiping the water stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand, Sun Hang turned around and found that Yang Qi was already standing in front of him with a tablet computer in her arms.

He suddenly remembered a meme he had learned on the Internet and waved at Yang Qi.

"Aibo, Ramen Iku thief?"

"Ah?" Yang Qi was stunned for a moment, obviously not reacting to what Sun Hang was saying.

"I mean, do you want to go eat ramen together later?" Sun Hang touched his stomach. "Although I drank a lot of water, my throat still feels dry. I want to eat something soupy to moisten my throat... To be honest, the pork bone ramen in the cafeteria on the first floor of the institute is very good. I ate it last time and I still miss it."

"Unfortunately, because of the Eternal Night, all supplies are rationed." Yang Qi glanced at Sun Hang and said expressionlessly, "The cafeteria you mentioned is temporarily closed now. If you want to eat ramen, you can only cook it yourself."

"Not impossible... I'll go to the kitchen and grab some ingredients and seasonings to take back." Sun Hang said, "I'll tell you a secret. Zhong Ling is actually a hidden chef. How about coming to my house for dinner tonight? I guarantee you'll be surprised!"

"I'm not in the mood... I have to work overtime tonight." Yang Qi said, "I have something to ask you."

"what's up?"

"Did you feel anything special when you absorbed Wang Xiyi's mutant meme just now?" Yang Qi asked seriously, "Or let me ask it another way. When you assimilated the black dragon meme, could you perceive any changes that took place in yourself?"

"Why do you ask this?" Sun Hang was a little puzzled. "You have been staring at the instrument. The actual data should be clearer and more accurate than what I can tell you orally, right?"

"Instruments also have limitations," Yang Qi said. "Not everything can be measured by instruments."

"Tsk... How should I put it? I'm not sure how to describe that feeling... At that time, because the absorption rate was too slow, I bit through Lao Wang's throat and swallowed her blood into my stomach... That feeling made me suspect that what I drank was not blood, but burning oil."

"and then?"

"That's all? I drank her blood and absorbed those mutated memes." Sun Hang spread his hands, "That's the end of it... Uh, do you really want to continue working overtime? Aren't you afraid of sudden death?"

"There are too many things to deal with. The news from Lizhou City has been reported back... None of the Qiang villages in the mountains were spared."

"As expected." Sun Hang also put away his joking expression, "With so much food, Chimera No. 17's injuries should have almost recovered..."

"Do you think it will really come... for revenge?"

"It will come." Sun Hang nodded, "It will definitely come."
