Chapter 232: Aftersound

On the other side of the portal is the apartment that Chen Ke rents.

The afternoon sun shines through the window onto the floor. On the small table by the window is a white CRT monitor, and next to it is an old black computer case.

The blasphemous dagger is now inserted into the window frame. With a flash of orange light, it turns back into a small diamond and falls on the keyboard.

This black portal is about 2 meters in diameter and elliptical, just enough for one person to pass through.

And if you look closely at the connection between the portal and this world, you can see that the portal has some kind of siphoning phenomenon. The dust on the ground is slowly being sucked into the apartment by the portal.

"Just walk in? Don't you need to recite any spells or something?" Sam asked.

Not everyone has seen a portal, let alone walked through it directly.

"Just go in... it's no problem." Chen Ke said.

Sam walked around the portal, trying to see the portal from behind, just like Chen Ke did when he first opened the portal, constantly probing with his fingers.

Chen Ke picked up Diana, put her right arm on his neck, and was the first to cross the portal. The warm sunlight shone on Diana's face, making her squint.

"Don't be like a child... just walk in like this... hurry up." Chen Ke urged. Even if he opened the door, he didn't know how long it would last before it was manually closed.

Because after Chen Ke returned to the real world, "Xiaoyao City 2006" did not appear in his door opening list, which meant that after the portal was closed, Chen Ke would say goodbye to this world forever.

Sam made some preparations, jumped into Chen Ke's apartment with a bang, and then quickly checked himself.

The other survivors also quickly passed through the portal. When everyone came in, he thought about it, and the black portal disappeared.

"Everyone... welcome to my home..." Chen Ke said.

Eight dusty people squeezed into the small room, Chen Ke, Diana and Sam, two children, two survivors brought by Ying Baiyi, and a girl.

"Are you sure this is the City of Opportunities..." Sam asked, still unsure if he had really escaped from that nightmare.

"If you still have questions, you can go downstairs and look on the street..." Chen Ke said.

He had just escaped, but Chen Ke knew that it was not the time to relax. Diana went into shock in his arms, and the arm around his neck drooped.

She had lost too much blood and needed treatment as soon as possible, but Chen Ke did not want to go to hospitals and laboratories. He instinctively had a strong resistance to these two places.

Moreover, if you enter the hospital, you will definitely be photographed by the camera, and you will have to leave your name when you go through various procedures...

However, saving Diana's life is important.

Chen Ke did not say much, and briefly explained the current situation, allowing the remaining survivors to choose whether to go to the hospital or go home.

Fortunately, the relatives of the two children did not die in the subway accident. They had pocket money that day and wanted to complete their adventure of taking the subway, so they encountered this kind of thing.

Sam persuaded them to go home quickly, gave them his Facebook account, and promised to tell them about Diana's future.

The woman who survived was called Gina. She was still in shock, but she also said firmly that it was Chen Ke and his team who saved her, so she decided to follow them to the hospital to see if she could help.

Ying Baiyi was dead, and the two survivors did not belong to this world. They were not familiar with the Opportunity City and did not know where to go next. Chen Ke advised them to stay in their own residence first and make long-term plans in the future.

One of them was named Luis, a Latino boy, and the other was named Rama, a black boy. They both seemed very confused. After hearing Chen Ke's advice, they expressed their gratitude and contracted the sanitation work of the room.

Luis and Rama stayed in the apartment rented by Chen Ke. Chen Ke held Diana and went downstairs with Sam, Gina and the two children, and stopped two cars, one to the hospital and one to take the children home.

Chen Ke did not know that there was a hospital under the Administration in the Opportunity City. Even if he knew, he would definitely not go.

After all, the wounds on Diana's body were obviously caused by monsters, and his agents were seriously injured. The Administration would definitely investigate the cause of the incident. Chen Ke did not think that a simple lie would allow him to escape unscathed, so they chose to send Diana to a large hospital in the city.

Considering Chen Ke's concerns, Sam and Gina used their personal information to handle various procedures for Diana.

Chen Ke's offshore account could not pay the medical expenses directly, but he still asked the two to help pay the expenses through a transfer.

When he took out his mobile phone, he found that he had 129 missed calls and more than 70 unread text messages in just two days.

When he traveled back to the City of Opportunities, Chen Ke's mobile phone suddenly had a signal, so he pulled all the information he had missed in the past two days.

Pihom, Heinard, Lester, Hall, Priskin... all looked for him more than once, and Lucina made 100 calls alone. He had no time to read the text messages for the time being, and his attention was all on Diana.

At this time, Diana was stripped of her jacket by the medical staff and laid flat on a stretcher. She was pushed into the operating room through the emergency passage. An infusion device was inserted into her forearm vein, and two bags of plasma and a transparent medicine were being injected into her body.

When the door of the operating room was closed, the three of them really breathed a sigh of relief. Although Diana was still in danger, at least Chen Ke could sit down and wait honestly.

Sam estimated that Diana's wound might require more than 100 stitches, but he also believed that she would recover slowly. Gina couldn't relate to the topic at this time, so she sat quietly and waited silently.

What Chen Ke was worried about at this time was not Diana, but Sam.

He has been infected by the meme, and what happened to Ying Boyi will definitely happen again to him.

The people who have been confirmed to turn into ashes, except for Chen Ke, are Louis and Lamar led by Ying Boyi. Sam has not accepted Jiulin's test, but there is a high probability that he will also turn into ashes.

Those two children, Gina and Diana, also have a small chance of turning into ashes. After all, no one can guarantee that they have not seen the big black pillar.

The corridor of the hospital was quiet, the smell of medicine filled the air, and the voices of patients and medical staff came to their ears, making the three people who had just escaped from that world feel unreal.

Chen Ke openly expressed his worries. After all, it is impossible for you to pretend that he does not exist when he turns into ashes.

"I don't know, Chen Ke, what can you do...?" Sam was still immersed in the joy of escaping, but now he was a little frightened when he heard Chen Ke talking about this matter.

In the past, Sam could force himself to ignore the possibility of turning into ashes with the excuse of "find a way to escape first", but now, he must prepare for a longer life.

"I will look for a way, but there is no guarantee that it will succeed..." Chen Ke shook his head, what can he do? The only people he knew who knew about memetic infection were Diana and Lester...

Maybe he could ask Lester...

"Well... you are... well, a strange person. You must have your own way." Sam looked at Chen Ke and said. Chen Ke's expression worried him, because when he said that he would find a way, Chen Ke's performance did not Not that convincing.

"My teacher... works in the administration, I can also ask him." Gina from the side interjected.

"Oh? That would be better...are you still a college student?" Chen Ke asked.

"No... I just graduated a year ago, but I know the teacher very well..." Gina said.

"Very good... Regardless of whether there is hope or not, let's ask first to see if the Administration has any methods for memetic infection..." Chen Kedao said.

Although he said that, he did not have extravagant expectations. If the Administration really had a way, Xiaoyao City in 2006 should have researched it long ago...

To this day, he still can't figure out the connection between the world in 2006 and the current one.

"Sam... I advise you to be calm recently... live a slower pace of life... control your emotions... until I find a way to cure this symptom..." Chen Ke looked at Sam.

Jiu Lin once said that the speed of ash transformation depends on the replacement speed of ash in the body. Every time the blood circulates in the body, more and faster ash will replace a person.

With Chen Ke's blood circulation speed close to that of a dead person, he still has some time. But Sam and the others were different. They might turn into a pile of red dust in the next second.

"I'll try my best... but Chen Ke... you should also try your best to be as fast as possible... I just escaped, and I don't want to die in the blink of an eye..." Sam said nervously.

"I know..." Chen Ke could only nod, but he was really unsure.
