Chapter 49 Space Imprisonment
Something is wrong!
As soon as he stepped into the passage door at the end of the hall, Chu Hai felt something was wrong. In the hall, he did not notice the fluctuations of modular factors in the passage door at all, which made him enter the passage door with confidence. What he never expected was that there was extremely strong fluctuations of modular factors in the passage door.
"You guys back! No, don't move!"
Chu Hai spoke out to stop others from entering, but it was too late. Wen Jie and his friends had already entered the passage gate like him.
"What's wrong?" Wen Jie asked in confusion. Like Chen Xin, he could not accurately detect the fluctuations in the modal factors.
"What a strong fluctuation of mock factors, there is a meme effect here!" Edward frowned. He felt something was wrong like Chu Hai.
"Don't move around, we've triggered the meme!" Chu Hai looked around. He could clearly feel the changes in the surrounding mould factors, but he didn't know what kind of memes existed in this passage gate.
The unknown is the most terrifying enemy, which is especially true for memes! Chu Hai is not afraid of fighting with those hideous monsters. Whether it is the shadow demon that has appeared in Xiangxiang City, various meme derivatives in the Infinite Corridor, or the zombies and crawlers in the town of Monterey, these monsters are sensational, but at least they still have physical entities. They can be killed through physical means and can also find certain rules. If it is such an enemy, even if it is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, Chu Hai will not feel afraid or fear, but the memes are definitely not the only ones!
Among all kinds of memes, the most feared by many of the staff of the Zheng Jiuhe Foundation is the memes called "nightmare". These memes are untraceable, have no entity, and cannot find the rules. Ordinary memes are just a violation of scientific nature, while these "nightmare" memes are strange existences that can completely subvert everyone's worldview.
"The modal factors fluctuate strongly and have a wide distribution range, covering almost the entire laboratory. This...is probably a nightmare meme!" Chu Hai muttered in his heart. If it was a nightmare meme, it depends on luck whether the four of them could leave here completely.
"It's started..." The fluctuations of the mock factors became stronger and stronger. Chu Hai wanted to sigh, but he still held back. Faced with unknown memes, no matter what action it was, it could trigger a terrible disaster, even if it was just a sentence or a small action.
The lighting facilities around the passage door slowly lit up, and Chu Hai finally saw clearly the situation of his location. They had entered the laboratory, which was a standard scientific research laboratory, with various instruments and office equipment scattered around.
Chu Hai looked at the situation in the laboratory carefully and observed keenly that the equipment and instruments seemed to be cut by sharp tools, with the cross-sections and incisions very flat and smooth.
"Is it a meme effect similar to the Blade Meme?" Chu Hai remembered the Blade Meme that the Foundation had hosted. It was a weird room. Except for the room itself, any creatures and non-organisms entering the room would be cut into several pieces. Although the specific blades were not visible, they were still named Blade Meme.
Chu Hai and the other two dared not act rashly at this moment. About ten seconds made them suffer. Ten seconds passed, and the memes in the laboratory finally showed initial shape.
There were clusters of black lines appearing in the entire laboratory and the passage door. These lines cut the huge space into hundreds of three-dimensional squares. Chu Hai and the other four were separated by these lines and isolated into four different three-dimensional square spaces.
When he was isolated, Chu Hai felt a great sense of depression. The square space he was in seemed to be a different dimension space completely different from the earth. Gravity changed in an instant. If it were not for the reaction to be sensitive enough, Chu Hai would almost fall to the ground due to the change of gravity. The most fatal thing was not the change of gravity, but the square space was an absolute vacuum!
Chu Hai and his friends are meme survivors. They are different from ordinary lives, but they still need to breathe. Chu Hai is not sure what the physiological structure of Edward, the remnant of the Misopotamian civilization, is like, but he is very clear that he, Wen Jie, and Chen Xin can only last for five minutes or even shorter in an oxygen-deficient environment at most!
The sound cannot be transmitted in a vacuum environment, but fortunately, there is Wen Jie, a mental user in the team. He immediately used his mental power to connect the consciousness of several people to make a call.
"What should I do! Chu Hai!"
Wen Jie and Chen Xin both asked Chu Hai. Before he knew it, Chu Hai had become the core figure in the team after Zheng Jiu. Wen Jie and Chen Xin both placed their hopes on Chu Hai.
At this moment, hundreds of square spaces were moving. These squares slowly rotated, and the equipment at the junction of square spaces were neatly broken. Seeing this scene, Chu Hai understood how the smooth sections of the equipment and instruments in the laboratory were produced. They were not cut by the blade, but were forced to cut by the transformation of space.
In thirty seconds, the square space completed its first rotation, and hundreds of square spaces had become more than one thousand. Each square space split into a narrower square. The four had to move their positions carefully. Once they were at the junction of the two square spaces, they would be cut into two sections in an instant.
The rotation continued. Chu Hai took a look at the square space he was in. According to the current situation, in just two minutes, the square space after five splits could not accommodate his body. Moreover, the lack of oxygen was also a fatal factor. Now Chu Hai felt his head begin to feel dizzy.
"Wenjie, let memes be liberated! Find the meme subject or core area, if not, we will have to die!" Chu Hai hurriedly urged Wenjie. Not all memes will have subjects and cores, but according to the foundation's data, as long as there are subjects and core memes, once the meme subject or core is destroyed, the meme is likely to disappear directly, and even if it is not good, it will greatly weaken the meme traits.
Wen Jie didn't say much, and immediately entered the state of meme liberation. After his mental power was greatly enhanced, the suppression of his mental power scan in the base instantly slowed down a lot. His mental power covered the entire laboratory. The four of them stared at the mental power scan screen, looking for possible subjects and cores.
Chu Hai turned his attention to the center of the laboratory. Generally speaking, the subject is most likely to exist in the central area within the meme infection range. Not only him, but Wen Jie and Chen Xin, and Edward all knew this theory. The four of them were searching carefully in the central area, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
Time passed by seconds, and the second space cut and split came, and the square space where everyone was located was reduced to half again. Due to lack of oxygen, everyone's thinking and actions were obviously slowed down. Thanks to them being meme survivors, if they were ordinary people, they had already fallen into a coma.
"That room! There is something wrong with that room!" Chen Xin was the most careful person among the four. During the second space split, he finally found a clue. Only one room in the southeast in the entire laboratory showed abnormalities. Although the room was cut and partitioned by squares, the door and metal wall still maintained a complete overall structure.
After Chen Xin discovered the abnormality, Wen Jie immediately mobilized all his mental power to scan the room. Edward and Chu Hai also tried their best to sense the fluctuations of the modal factors in the room.
The subject is in the room!
The three of them came to this conclusion. After a brief rejoicing, the few people immediately became new confused and knew what the subject was in the room. The room was still not close to them, and they could not reach the room at all, let alone destroying the subject.
"Don't sit and wait for death, try to see if you can break the square space or attack that room!" Chu Hai gritted his teeth and began to try first. He covered his shadow armor and punched the square space in front of him, separated by lines.
Chu Hai's fist did not work, the transparent space barrier was very strong, his punch just made the square room slightly shake. Time was precious, Chu Hai's meme Jiefang waved his fist in front of him again. After several consecutive punches, cracks appeared in the space barrier in front of him.
A rotating machine gun appeared in front of Chen Xin. With sufficient ammunition reserves, this machine gun is a powerful weapon that can shoot infinitely. The bullet shell fell on the ground like rain. The continuous shooting finally shot through the square space where Chen Xin was. However, it was obviously unrealistic to destroy the entire square space or attack the room where the main body was. Chen Xin put away the machine gun, clenched his fists tightly and entered the meme liberation state. A small spot of light slowly expanded.
Finally it became a red aperture the size of a fist. A visible light extends out from the red aperture and shoots into the room in the distance. Chen Xin's laser weapon has a very strong destructive power and shot through dozens of square spaces along the way. However, the laser light eventually disappeared in a square space not far from the room. Chen Xin covered his chest and panted. If he had not been in a meme liberated state, he would have fallen into a coma and his physical strength could only support the launch of the laser again.
Edward looked at the slowly rotating square space in front of him helplessly. He was powerless to face these square spaces like Wen Jie, but his situation was much better than Wen Jie. Although the physiological structures of the Misopotasians and humans were very similar, they were still somewhat different. Chu Hai and others had an limit of about five minutes, while Edward's limit was as high as twenty minutes.
Another minute passed, Wen Jie's face became increasingly ugly. It won't take long for his meme liberation to be lifted, and he will also fall into a coma due to hypoxia.
Chu Hai has abandoned the shadow armor and turned into the form of Lu Bu. Fang Tian's painting halberd has cut through the barrier of the three square spaces. He also began to move towards the room where the meme subject is. Judging from the current situation, Chu Hai is already the last hope for the four of them to survive!
