Chapter 331 331. Memetic Pollution

Since they had to wait until the next day, Qiao Mu and the others decided to find a safe place to hide.

The roads are already full of Crazy Thursday zombies. Fortunately, most of them just want to eat fried chicken. In order to prevent some people from accidentally eating fried chicken in advance and waking up to see this doomsday situation and being frightened, Qiao Mu also posted Xindi asked Xiao Ai to close all Kaifeng food stores through the Internet.

Taking the smart-driving car, the three of them left the school and soon arrived downstairs at the apartment building where Qiao Mu lived.

"This is where?"

Gu Yingying looked at the unfamiliar surroundings with some caution.

There are still many Mad Thursday zombies here, but most of them are old people. After entering the era of smart phones, the old people's original listening to the radio has become short videos on their mobile phones. They are inevitably not immune to the viral spread.

Even if someone manages to escape, contact their family and friends, or call the police, they will be contaminated by the meme and become a Mad Thursday zombie.

"Memetic contamination can either be relatively mild and spread without any serious problems, or so severe that it cannot spread at all."

The little witch got out of the car and explained.

"Just like infectious diseases, colds and other infectious diseases are not that harmful to the host, so they are easy to spread. With the development of modern transportation, it is even easier to become popular. And those fatal infectious diseases usually kill directly in a short time. The sick people died, and the symptoms were obvious, so it was difficult to spread widely. "

"But this memetic contamination is different. It spreads extremely quickly and is extremely lethal. It is like an instantaneous disease that spreads through cognition and is impossible to prevent."

The three of them arrived at the elevator entrance.

Gu Yingying shuddered after hearing what the little witch said.

Although it seemed that Qiao Mu had solved all the problems just now, the reality has not changed after all, and everything will have to wait until tomorrow to be revealed.

Just like your boss has promised you that this year's year-end bonus will be generous, but it hasn't been paid yet. No one knows whether your boss will let you pack your things and leave on the last day of work this year. What about the year-end bonus? Is it rich? It is indeed very rich, but have you got it? It is true that you have not got it.

Such as taking.

Damn capitalist!

When Gu Yingying was thinking about her year-end bonus, the elevator had already reached the ninth floor.

Ding dong——

The elevator door opened, but there were no Crazy Thursday zombies banging on the door.

Qiao Mu listened for a while. Most of the residents here had also been affected by the trick and were making strange screams in the room.

He raised his hand, and golden threads dropped from the infinite sky, wrapping around the residents in the entire apartment, controlling them to lie on the bed and sleep peacefully.

"Please come in."

Qiao Mu opened the door.

The little witch jumped in as if she were back at home.

Gu Yingying, on the other hand, stood at the door and looked inside.

"What are you still doing? Come in."

The little witch touched her shoulders. With the door open, the cold winter wind came in, making her shiver.

"Huh? Oh"

Gu Yingying could only walk into the house and close the door.

This was the first time she went to a boy's home alone.

If I had to say it, when she was a child, her parents took her to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year, but she never went to her cousin's house again when she was older.

"This is the boys' room."

Gu Yingying couldn't help but peek around, only to find that the little witch was as familiar as the mistress of the house.

"Living together!?"

She did know that some couples in their junior and senior years or postgraduate students who felt that too many people in the dormitory would affect their review would rent a house to live outside. However, she did not expect that Qiao Mu would actually live with this girl who looked like a high school student. Qiao Mu seemed to be very honest before, but I didn't expect him to be so open-minded!

"She's here for a trip. Let's stay here."

Qiao Mu explained, turned on the computer, and found that the Internet was already full of Crazy Thursday. If you were not careful, you would be contaminated, so you closed the web page.

"No one in the work group is talking anymore, everyone is very cautious."

The little witch looked at the line group on her mobile phone. It had been silent since more than ten minutes ago. She didn't know if no one was talking, or if no one could speak anymore.

"Don't go online, it's easy to get polluted."

Qiao Mu said, asking the little witch to put down her phone, and then asked Gu Yingying to take out her phone and put it on the table.

"You can't use your computer, you can't read on your mobile phone, you can't watch TV, what's the point of life!"

The little witch collapsed on the sofa, like a people's artist who now has no hair.

Gu Yingying sat cautiously on the other side of the sofa, not knowing what to do. She fiddled with the edges of her clothes uneasily with her hands, as if she was taken to a strange relative's house by her parents during the Chinese New Year and didn't know what to call that person. A child who feels uneasy about relatives.

"Is it really okay?"

She could only ask.

Although she knew very well that even if Qiao Mu said there was no problem at this time, she would still not be convinced and would still be anxious until the sun rose the next day.

"No problem."

Qiao Mu said firmly.

"What is your wish?"

The little witch asked again.

"it's actually really easy."

Qiao Mu paused and explained.

"My wish is that everyone in the world can eat the Crazy Thursday meal yesterday."

"Um?"

Gu Yingying didn't quite understand.

The little witch thought for a moment, and soon showed an expression of enlightenment.

"Indeed, such methods are indeed needed to deal with memetic contamination."

"What?"

Gu Yingying still doesn't understand, and this is very normal. She is listening to Qiao Mu and the little witch discussing, just like a primary school student who has just learned addition, subtraction, multiplication and division listening to two college students discussing calculus. Not every word can be understood, let alone connected.

"It's simple, because if everyone doesn't eat the Crazy Thursday meal before tomorrow, they will die, so if they want to survive, the only way to survive is to eat the Crazy Thursday meal today."

The little miko explained aloud, feeling quite proud of a top student who stood up to answer questions in class.

"But the wish in the merit box will only come true the next day, so simply making a wish so that everyone can eat the set meal is not enough."

"But they didn't actually eat the set meal yesterday, right?"

Gu Yingying listened to the chat between Qiao Mu and the little witch before, and she roughly understood how the so-called memetic pollution affected human beings. Although it was unbelievable, it had already happened in the real world, and she could only consider it based on the actual existence of these things. Problem.

"Just like what this guy experimented with before, the horror of memetic pollution is that there is no physical transmission, or in other words, it relies on information transmission, but the disadvantage is also here, that is, only information is needed to solve the problem."

The little miko spread her hands and explained.

"Those Mad Thursday zombies don't actually need to eat the meal, as long as they think they have eaten the meal, then the memetic contamination will be lifted."

"Can this still happen?"

Gu Yingying couldn't imagine it.

"So, everyone in this world will trigger two memetic pollution effects after zero o'clock. One is caused by the abnormality of Crazy Thursday and will die if you don't eat the set meal the next day. The other is caused by the abnormal merit box and you think that you yesterday Already had the Crazy Thursday meal, so the two effects cancel out.”

The little miko explained.

"So, what do we eat?"

Qiao Mu asked.
