Chapter 25 Prehistoric Civilization
Chu Hai's movements were obviously slowing down, and he was still on guard against Edward, but a survivor of the Misopotamian civilization and a smart creature with memetic characteristics are two completely different concepts.
Edward also had some concerns about Chu Hai. As a survivor of a once glorious civilization, he may have a better understanding of memes than the members of the Hope Squad. The Misopotha civilization was destroyed by memes, and Edward naturally had a very high sense of defense against Chu Hai, who showed meme characteristics.
"Are you a meme immunist too?"
"Are you the chosen one?"
Although the Blade Locust has already revealed its traces, the two people still couldn't help but ask each other tentatively.
Both civilizations call this kind of thing that goes beyond scientific common sense and can only be described as myths, magic and miracles, but it is obvious that the two civilizations' different understandings and attitudes towards memes can be seen from the conversation between them.
Human civilization regards memes as a virus and a disaster. Their research on memes also tends toward the perspective of medical and biological. This can be seen from the name meme immunizer that people like Chu Hai who are lucky enough to die are regarded as immunizers of the virus meme.
From the three words "Selected by Edward" mentioned by Chu Hai could probably guess the attitude of the Misobuda civilization towards memes. They were most likely to regard memes as a miracle, a magical power that was beyond nature, and those who were fortunate to obtain the characteristics of memes were called "Selected by God! Judging from this title, the Misobuda civilization seemed to regard this as a kind of worship and glory!
They wanted to ask each other again, but it was too late. The blade-leading locust mentioned by Edward was approaching. At this time, Chu Hai saw clearly the appearance of those blade-leading locusts. Their appearance was not much different from the common locusts on the earth. It was just that they were several times larger in size. Each locust had a body the size of a mouse. In addition, their forelimbs had not become like biological organs, but were as if they were sharp sharp knives. When they were roaring and charging, they drew extremely deep traces in the walls of the corridor. Chu Hai also understood why these groups of locusts had the name of blade-leading locusts.
Bang! Bang...
While Chu Hai was still observing, Edward had already started shooting. The weapons he used were similar to common pistols. Bullets were shot out one by one. Any blade-leading locust that was hit would fall to the ground and struggle constantly. However, even if the body was shot in half, these locusts did not completely die, and they still had their wings. Only when the blade-leading locust on the head would they die completely.
A huge shadow appeared on Chu Hai's body. The blade-leading locust that was approaching was smashed by Chu Hai's punch and turned into a pool of meat sauce. After killing several blade-leading locusts, Chu Hai found that several cracks had appeared in his shadow. This was caused by the sharp forelimbs of the blade-leading locust. Just a few blade-leading locusts would have been like this. If the thousands of blade-leading locusts rushed up, Chu Hai would already feel his scalp numb.
"Do not!" Seeing Chu Hai resisting in front, Edward retreated for a distance to the rear. The two guns in his hand had been put away, and replaced by a huge tubular weapon. After shouting loudly at Chu Hai, Edward pressed the button and sprayed out high-temperature flames. The weapon was actually a flamethrower.
Chu Hai's movements were extremely rapid. Before the first flame erupted, he had already kicked open a door and hid in the room. He only walked out of the room until the whistling of the flames stopped.
He secretly compared the flamethrower he had seen with the weapons he had taken. The weapons and equipment in the foundation were of quite high technology, but those heavy large flamethrowers could not be flexibly used by one person's strength, and the flames ejected can only reach a distance of about one hundred meters, and the width is only about one meter. The handheld flamethrower used by Edward is much smaller than the flamethrower of the foundation. Logically speaking, the power, range, and width should not be as good as the flamethrower seen by Chu Hai, but the fact is not the case. The handheld jet has a jet distance of up to 200 meters, and a width of five meters lasted for more than thirty seconds!
Chu Hai secretly guessed in his heart that judging from this flamethrower, the technological level of the Misopotamian civilization may be too much beyond human civilization.
Even though he was shocked, he was still worthy of joy to repel the blade locust. However, Chu Hai was also confused. He clearly felt the great crisis, so how could it end so easily? Thinking of this, Chu Hai did not dispel the shadows and still patrolled around vigilantly.
"Did you already feel something is wrong? No, from the extent I sensed it, you should not be a high-level choice, how could you have such intuition?" Edward had already put away his weapon, and the flamethrower more than one meter long disappeared in an instant, but he didn't know whether he had high-tech equipment like Chu Hai with space storage technology.
"Advanced Chosen? You should be talking about meme assimilation. Yes, I have not been able to assimilate memes, and I have not even fused memes. Now I can only simply use the power of memes. According to our human civilization, I am still a meme immunizer." Chu Hai once heard Zheng Jiu say that once he reaches the level of meme assimilation, he will have a sensitive feeling similar to the intuition of wild beasts. But Chu Hai himself is also confused. He is still a meme immunizer, but after waking up, he has such a keen intuition, which he feels incredible.
"I don't know how you human civilization masters and uses memes. In the Misobuda civilization, the one who can infect memes but never dies is the God-Selected One. If you can use the power of memes, you can be called the Elementary God-Selected One. If you can start to absorb memes, you will be the Advanced God-Selected One. You said you are a Meme immunizer. Judging from the extent of my senses, you are the Elementary God-Selected One, but it's strange. I have never seen a powerful Elementary God-Selected One such as you. Even some of the Intermediate God-Selected Ones I have seen are not as good as you..." Edward seemed to be thinking about something, and his words also shocked Chu Hai secretly.
"Edward has mentioned sensing several times. He can sense my strength. The meme ability he has mastered should be more than mine. He can sense strength and the danger that is coming. Could it be that he has assimilated memes like the captain!?" Chu Hai increased Edward's danger by several levels in his heart. To be honest, if he had to face such a powerful existence as captain Zheng Jiu, he would not have any confidence. Even if he was released all three shadows, he could only be suppressed and beaten by Zheng Jiu.
The two of them had their own thoughts and remained silent for a moment. At this moment, the locusts on the ground that had been burned into black and gray actually made moves again. The black and gray gathered together and turned into lively blade locusts again.
Chu Hai was surprised when he saw this scene. The resurrection from the dead was incredible to Chu Hai, but Edward on the side seemed to have known that he had already taken out another firearm weapon. Judging from the style, this weapon actually resembled the water gun that Chu Hai used to play in his childhood.
"The Blade Locust is a mutant infected with an unnamed mysterious meme. In addition to being extremely aggressive, it has a strong vitality and can be resurrected after death. The number of resurrections is not certain. Moreover, after each resurrection, all abilities will be greatly improved. According to the records of the Missoudaya coalition government, the strongest Blade Locust has appeared, which can destroy a regular coalition government army with a number of 1,000 people in frontal battles. So be careful, they are here..." Edward's face was not good-looking.
"A regular army of one thousand people..." Chu Hai clenched his fists. As a member of the Hope Squad, he had extremely strong personal strength, but in fact his strength was only able to fight against the standard combat teams of five to ten foundations, which were about two hundred people.
The blade-leading locust attacked again, and it was no different from before, but Edward's previous words made Chu Hai mentally prepared, and he did not rush into the locust swarm.
"That... Chu Hai, I think we should run away." Chu Hai smashed the blade locust that rushed forward into pieces, but Edward's voice came from behind.
"You shoot quickly!" Chu Hai urged Edward repeatedly. There were a large number of blade locusts, and once surrounded, it would be almost a dead end. Close combat is too dangerous. The best way at present is to rely on Edward's weapons.
"I had retreated from the battlefield before I fell asleep. The weapons and ammunition were insufficient. The energy of the flamethrower had been consumed. This current gun only had one shot of energy, and it would not work with a pistol..." Edward had been sleeping for too long. It was not until he encountered the Blade Locust head-on. Then he suddenly realized that the weapons and ammunition he was carrying were insufficient.
"**This is a cheating dad! What is your meme ability? Use it quickly!" Chu Hai couldn't help but retreat a few steps.
The Blade Locust attacked near, and the buzzing whistling made Chu Hai and Edward want to escape. Fortunately, the Blade Locust was not fast, and the two of them were determined to avoid the battle, but they were not entangled by the Blade Locust, but they no longer had time to talk.
"Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it's really awkward, haha! Rookie, and Missoudaya's guests, Human Civilization SCP Foundation 05 Uncle Zheng Jiu has arrived!"
A familiar voice made Chu Hai excited, and what followed was a tall man and a long sword shining with cold light.
