Chapter 348 Infinite Proliferation (Subscription Request)

The voice in Chen Ke's mind was intermittent, and after entering the spherical shelter, it seemed to become clearer.

Although the record player had been broken, the spread of the meme did not seem to be interrupted.

He looked at Wang Ailin and felt something was wrong. Wang Ailin was not affected at all and was looking at him with eyes wide open...

Recalling that Wang Ailin had called him when she was affected by the meme before, Chen Ke was led to the spherical shelter below.

And the bus driver also drove to pick him up under the guidance of the meme.

Chen Ke frowned. Could it be that this voice was directed at him?

"Partner/partner."

The voice kept hinting, hoping that Chen Ke would find it. He didn't know what that thing was, but he was sure that it was not as kind as it said.

"Are you sure you are okay?" Chen Ke looked at Wang Ailin, wanting to confirm the situation.

Wang Ailin nodded and took out a notebook to write down something.

"Maybe we can see what we can use here. You see, I don't have any weapons, and I always feel uneasy when I'm empty-handed." Parker interrupted at this time. He looked around and seemed to be selecting.

"No! These are all very dangerous objects." Wang Ailin closed the notebook and stopped him.

"Just tell us what these things are used for, and we can pick out the ones that are not too excessive." Parker said.

"Absolutely not! If these things can be used, we would have handed them over to the Administration long ago. Using the objects casually will cause irreparable disasters." Wang Ailin walked around Chen Ke and walked in front of Parker, looking at him very seriously.

"I think what Wang Ailin said makes sense. It's better not to touch these things." Chen Ke said.

Seeing Chen Ke say this, Parker gave up the idea of ​​using these objects, but he was still a little worried with his empty hands.

"I don't have a weapon. If we encounter something dangerous, I can't help." Parker said.

"You have it, Parker, and you will know when the time comes." Chen Ke smiled.

Parker didn't understand, but he didn't ask much, because he knew Chen Ke wouldn't tell him so quickly. He could only give up his idea and follow Chen Ke and the others to continue moving forward.

After going down to the containment layer, there were almost no people below, because most of the research institutes stayed in the research layer. Theoretically, the only places where people could enter the spherical containment station were the research layer and some maintenance pipelines.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble as much as possible, Chen Ke and his friends decided to go down to Hall 1 from the maintenance worker passage behind the wall.

Parker removed the plastic cover of the maintenance passage on the white wall, revealing a half-meter-high maintenance entrance. Adults have to bend over to crawl in.

This maintenance well is full of cables and network cables, which are part of the power supply system of the entire spherical artificial layer, just like blood vessels.

Chen Ke and Parker were okay, but it was a bit too difficult for Wang Ailin, a female scientist, to crawl in it with her back bent.

I thought Wang Ailin would be very reluctant, but Chen Ke didn't expect that this female scientist was really a capable person.

Wang Ailin tore the edge of her purple skirt open to make it easier for her to squat down. At the same time, she took off her high heels and stepped on the ground wearing only brown stockings.

"I'll crawl in first, and then..." Chen Ke had just said halfway when Parker turned into a stream of black ash and rushed into the maintenance passage.

"The space inside is bigger than it looks. There's no danger, but it's too dark... Come down quickly." The two stood outside and watched for a while, and then Parker's voice came from inside.

"I'm a little envious of him..." Chen Ke said helplessly.

He asked Wang Ailin to go in first, and he would be the last to follow, so as not to have any strange things following.

Wang Ailin bent her body, like a cat, and crawled into the maintenance passage lightly, and Chen Ke followed closely behind.

As soon as Chen Ke entered this narrow passage, he felt a wave of heat coming towards him. After all, it was a closed space, so narrow, full of wires, and the air was not circulating. It was normal for the temperature to be higher.

This passage can only be entered by crawling, but after entering, you can actually walk while standing with your back bent.

The passage was not so dark that you could not see your hand in front of you. Various red and green indicator lights were flashing, like a passage full of dim light.

Because she was not a sports girl, Wang Ailin looked a little clumsy in the narrow passage. In addition, she was a little chubby, so it was inevitable that she would trip.

Chen Ke supported her from behind and paid attention to the situation behind her. After walking for a few minutes, Wang Ailin's back was sweating and looked greasy and wet.

"It's too hot. I have never come here to play. It's a rare experience." Wang Ailin walked forward and talked to herself.

"Parker?!" Chen Ke shouted forward.

"I'm in front. There is a ladder on the side that can go down, but..." Parker's voice sounded far away.

"But what?" Chen Ke asked.

"Something blocked the road. I just went down several floors in one breath, but the maintenance passage below was blocked by a large piece of meat." Parker shouted.

"Meat...?" Chen Ke asked in confusion.

He and Wang Ailin walked down the small passage in silence for more than ten minutes with difficulty. Parker turned into a ball of ash and could go down several floors at once, but they had to move forward slowly in the high temperature.

Chen Ke didn't care. He could feel the temperature, but he had lost all his reaction to it. It didn't matter to him whether it was cold or hot.

But Wang Ailin was different. The temperature inside was estimated to be over 40 degrees. She was sweating profusely after staying in it for only a few minutes.

After finally finding the ladder to go down, Wang Ailin couldn't stand the heat anymore and looked like she was about to have a heat stroke. She trembled and climbed down the iron ladder. Chen Ke resisted the urge to look at her chest.

Halfway up the ladder, Wang Ailin cried out, her feet slipped, and she fell down.

"Are you okay?!" Chen Ke lay on the iron ladder and looked down.

"I caught her." Parker's voice came from below.

After a false alarm, Chen Ke followed and climbed down, and finally came to the next level. The climbing area was also very narrow. Wang Ailin might have suffered some scratches when she fell down just now.

After meeting Parker, the three walked down the narrow passage for a while, until they stopped at the place where Parker said it was blocked by a large piece of meat.

It was a large mass of something similar to a mixture of mushrooms and meat, pink all over, but with small dark brown spots. Chen Ke poked it with his hand, and it was soft, leaving a fist-shaped hole on the surface of the thing.

"What is this..." Chen Ke was puzzled. There was no information pop-up box in his vision.

Wang Ailin was leaning against the side, panting, holding her chest. She was sweating, and she seemed to be a girl who was afraid of heat. She pushed her glasses, squeezed past Chen Ke, looked at the thing closer, and said: "It's another containment object, harmless, but it will continue to reproduce..."

"Continuously reproduce...? Is this thing alive?" Parker asked.

"It belongs to the bacterial class... The growth rate is very slow, but its growth is unlimited, and the things it needs are also very simple. As long as there is oxygen, it can continue to grow... This thing was only as big as E. coli at the beginning..." Wang Ailin wiped the sweat from her face and neck.

"When was this thing collected..." Chen Ke asked.

"About... half a year ago..." Wang Ailin said.
