"Yes, based on the messages sent by the four advance teams, the following information can be confirmed..."

"At 21:15 on June 3, 2015, a meme attack was encountered in the urban area of ​​Xiangxiang City, Hunan Province, China. According to the prediction of the Prophet, the meme is temporarily named Shadow Meme, numbered E-456."

"The shadow meme has the following characteristics, large scale and wide range. It has been confirmed that the urban area of ​​Xiangxiang City is a completely infected area. Humans who encounter infection will die immediately. The shadow will leave the human body and transform into a meme derivative similar to a ghost. It will be named Shadow Demon for the time being. Shadow Demon will attack humans without restrictions, and the humans killed by Shadow Demon will be converted into new Shadow Demon."

"The Shadow Demon has the ability to penetrate the wall. Once touched by it, his body will fall into a stiff state, unable to move, unable to resist..."

"The mission of the four advance troops is to escort the only survivor to the initial location of the meme outbreak. After confirming whether the survivor is a shadow meme immunized person, you can return. Fire One and Fire Two armed helicopters will set off in an hour. Regardless of whether the mission is completed or not, they will launch strategic-level air-to-surface missiles five minutes after arrival, completely destroying the city..."

"In addition, a little advice for the advance troops, Shadow Demon will give priority to searching for parallel sight areas, then the upper sight areas, and finally the lower sight areas. If you need to rest, try to find facilities such as basements, above..."

Five minutes after breaking out of the street, Chu Hai and his team members had already escaped into an underground parking lot and left the group of ghosts tracking them.

Wei Kai turned on the communication equipment he carried with him, and everyone, including Chu Hai, clearly heard the information conveyed from the equipment. After listening, Chu Hai looked puzzled. He could not understand the meaning of the information.

"We are safe for the time being, so now you can tell me what is going on here and who are you?" Chu Hai looked at Wei Kai and asked his own questions. In fact, he wanted to ask these questions from the beginning.

These armed personnel had taken off their helmets. Chu Hai looked at them. They were all young men around twenty-five years old. Judging from their unified uniforms, they did not seem to be soldiers from the military.

"SCP Foundation, we are soldiers of the SCP Foundation." Wei Kai lit a cigarette, took a long sip, and then spit out a round smoke ring.

"SCP Foundation? Is it an organization similar to the WTO or an organization under the United Nations?" Chu Hai looked at this group of people of different skin colors, and he used his greatest imagination.

"No, the SCP Foundation is an international organization established for memes, controlling, protecting and hosting various memes. This is the purpose of the establishment of the SCP Foundation. Do you know Umbrella?" Wei Kai asked Chu Hai.

Chu Hai nodded immediately. Umbrella is the mastermind behind the famous "Resident Evil". Although it is notorious, few people will not know about it.

"You can regard the SCP Foundation as an organization that is stronger than Umbrella." Wei Kai's words shocked Chu Hai. Umbrella was the culprit of the global Resident Evil. He is now staying with soldiers from such a terrible organization, and it seems that he is going to participate in one of their research. It makes Chu Hai feel creepy when he thinks about it.

"Is there a Resident Evil here? But what we encounter are obviously ghosts, they don't look like zombies!" Chu Hai tried his best to remain calm.

"It's not a Resident Evil, it's a meme. To be precise, the Resident Evil you understand is just one of the memes. Also, what we see is not a ghost, they are shadow demons, and derivatives of shadow memes. Don't equate Umbrella with the SCP Foundation. A small-scale company like Umbrella is at most a subsidiary of the foundation. Let's talk to you, Umbrella is just a research and use of T viruses, while the SCP Foundation controls thousands of memes that are even more terrifying than T viruses. These two cannot be compared at all." After Wei Kai smoked a cigarette and stomped the cigarette butts, he explained to Chu Hai.

"How...how is it possible!?" Chu Hai couldn't believe that in his understanding, the most powerful in the world was undoubtedly the national governments of various powerful countries. A giant like Umbrella can already shake a country and even the world. In the real world, there will never be any country allowing such a threat, let alone the so-called SCP Foundation, which is even stronger than Umbrella.

Wei Kai seemed to have heard the doubts in Chu Hai's dialect. He said: "How do you think we armed personnel can enter China? It is because there are several branch bases of the SCP Foundation in China, and our actions have also been approved and supported by the Chinese government. The SCP Foundation is not afraid of national forces, because we are based on the acquiescence and support of national forces in various countries!"

Chu Hai no longer knew what to say. He could not tell whether what Wei Kai said was true or false, but the absurd experiences in the past few hours had shattered his worldview. Even if Wei Kai told him that there was a God in this world, he was afraid that he would not have too much doubt.

"So, what are the memes and shadow demons you mentioned?" Chu Hai tried hard to remain calm. Wei Kai mentioned the word memes many times. It seemed that the memes were the ones that caused the disaster in Xiangxiang City. He asked Wei Kai.

"Things similar to the role played by genes in biological evolution in the transmission process of language, concepts, beliefs, behaviors, etc. This is the secular definition of memes. However, for the SCP Foundation, memes have another meaning." At this point, Wei Kai paused.

"Everything that cannot be explained by science, including matter, theory, concept, biology... in short, something that violates all scientific principles is meme!"

"You have heard the information from the Foundation before? The city you are in has been attacked by the shadow meme. The ghosts you see are temporarily named Shadow Demons. They are transformed by human shadows, that is, derivatives of Shadow Memes. Our mission is to escort you, the only survivor, to the central area of ​​the meme outbreak, to obtain information about Shadow Memes!"

Wei Kai smiled at Chu Hai, but this smile made Chu Hai feel cold. Chu Hai probably understood the explanation of the meme, but Wei Kai repeatedly mentioned that he must take him to the central area where the meme broke out, which gave Chu Hai an ominous premonition.

"Wait a minute, why do you have to take me to the central area?" Chu Hai thought for a while, and finally asked this question.

Wei Kai smiled again, put on his helmet again, and said, "The only survivor of the meme outbreak, do you think the researchers in the foundation will let go of such a rare guinea pig?"

"I'm just lucky and not touched by those ghosts!" Chu Hai defended.

"What's the point of lying to me? Tell you, the foundation has retrieved all the surveillance information of this city. You were besieged by eight ghosts and were completely unscathed. The three bullets my team members made mistakes at you were blocked by your shadow. We already know these things, otherwise you would think, why would we risk coming back to rescue a person who might have been torn to pieces by ghosts?" Wei Kai had already put on his helmet.

Chu Hai was mixed with feelings. He didn't expect that his secret had been discovered by these people, and even the appearance of him being sent to the operating table to dissect it into a human specimen.

"Okay, don't be afraid." Wei Kai patted Chu Hai's shoulder lightly.

Chu Hai remained silent. He had just escaped from danger, but was told that he would be treated like a research material like a teenager. How could he not be afraid? After all, he was just a young man who had just started working.

"I said, you don't have to be afraid. Although you are excellent research materials, the foundation will not force you as long as you don't want to." Wei Kai patted his shoulder again, and this sentence ignited hope for Chu Hai again.

"What do you think the foundation is? A beast that treats humans as experimental materials like Umbrella? If so, I would have quit!"

"Believe me! As long as you follow my team to the location, I, Wei Kai, a combatant of the SCP Foundation Level 03, guarantee your life safety!"

Wei Kai increased his strength and patted Chu Hai on the shoulder. Regardless of whether Chu Haixin or not, he and his team members had already started to sort out their guns and prepared to leave the underground parking lot.

"I will never be a guinea pig!"

Regardless of whether what Wei Kai said was true or not, Chu Hai had already gritted his teeth secretly. He would not be willing to be a teenage mouse at slaughter. Neither Wei Kai nor Chu Hai noticed that the shadow under Chu Hai seemed to move slightly.

"Set off!"

With Wei Kai's order issued, Chu Hai and the team issued again. As they walked, dozens of arms extended from the ceiling of the parking lot and hung over their heads.

Those arms were fair and almost transparent, and black silk threads were wrapped around the arms. This was the Shadow Demon's arm!

"ah!"

"Ah...ah!"

Several screams sounded, and more than half of the people in this team were already caught by the extended arms of the Shadow Demons. After the screams fell, piles of residual limbs and minced meat were thrown from the ceiling.

Chu Hai looked up in horror, and his pale heads drooped down from the ceiling and looked at them coldly. The air was filled with a strong smell of blood. From the piles of minced meat, new shadow demons floated out again. Teammates who were still fighting side by side not long ago have now become deadly enemies! "Retreat!"

Without caring about sadness, Wei Kai threw out a grenade and issued an order to retreat. Chu Hai no longer wanted to stay here for a second. He followed Wei Kai and ran away.

After rushing all the way to the exit of the parking lot, Chu Hai was almost collapsed when he saw the scene in front of him. More than a thousand shadow demons gathered in the exit passage. They waved the slender black silk threads in their hands and flocked towards Chu Hai and others!
Chapter completed!
