Outside a towering cathedral filled with the aura of Rome, a man covered in blood with a mangled throat floated in the air like a ghost. The onlookers screamed and retreated.
No matter how one looked at this scene, they would not think of words such as miracle or God. Instead, they would think of Satan, the devil, and evil...
At this very moment, dozens of meters away, a bearded man holding a cell phone was trembling like a sieve. He watched helplessly as the Chinese man floated up from the ground, then twisted his head in a strange manner and turned it back to its original position.
When he saw this horrifying scene, he wanted to run away, but he felt weak all over because of the shock. Even moving a finger was an extravagant hope...
However, at this moment, an even more chilling scene unfolded — as the Chinese man turned his head, he turned to look in his direction for a second and stared at him with an inexplicable gaze!
At the same time, the mobile phone in his hand that was still dutifully maintaining the recording state suddenly exploded with a "Pa" sound without warning!
"Oh my god!"
The piercing pain in his palm awakened the bearded man's will to live. He finally came to his senses and tossed the remains of the phone away without hesitation!
He screamed in pain as he ran until he disappeared into the building on the other side of the street.
After shooing away the passersby who was still recording him, Chen Chen turned his head back. Little X's calls were still coming from his earpiece. He tried to speak but found that his vocal cords had been broken by the angel statue's attack. He used Field to temporarily reconnect his vocal cords, and only then was he able to speak in a low voice.
"X, I'm still alive..."
When she heard Chen Chen's answer, Little X quickly said with a sob, "Sir Godfather, are you hurt? The Black Knight is on the way here and will arrive at your position in twenty seconds. You must hang in there! "
"Don't worry, I won't die."
Chen Chen's voice was hoarse. He looked at the door of the cathedral again and saw that the two statues had appeared again at the open door of the cathedral. At this time, they were standing there motionlessly.
This time, both statues were in Chen Chen's sight.
However, Chen Chen did not move. His injuries did not allow him to continue fighting, so he just stared at the two statues, quietly waiting for the Black Knights to arrive.
Sure enough, after 20 seconds, a truck arrived at the square in front of the church with an ear-piercing horn blaring. Four Black Knights carried a metal box that looked like a coffin and placed the two statues into the metal box in a well-trained manner.
Then, the metal box was quickly sealed shut by a huge metal bolt, and the Dark Knight threw it back into the truck.
"Sir Godfather, your neck …"
Through the vision transmitted by the Black Knights, Little X finally saw the extent of Chen Chen's injury. At this time, Chen Chen's neck was completely broken. Not only were his arteries and veins directly exposed to the air, but even his cervical vertebrae were broken.
For an ordinary person, this kind of injury was basically a road to death, and it was completely irreversible.
"My body has lost all feeling, but it doesn't matter. My spinal cord is not completely damaged, and my brain can still control my heartbeat. I just can't breathe."
Like a ghost, Chen Chen floated to the front passenger seat of the truck and closed the door. "As long as I use Field to maintain the expansion of my lungs and keep the arteries and veins unobstructed, I won't die."
"I'll take you back to Eco Science City now!"
Little X hurriedly said.
"There's no need to rush."
Chen Chen waved his hand. "With the physique brought about by the T-virus, my vitality is far stronger than that of a normal human. Now that my wounds have begun to heal, I'll be back to normal in a few hours. Don't worry, the most important thing now is to leave this place. I don't know how many people have taken pictures of the angel statues just now, these are all things that need to be taken care of."
"I've used Gantz to send another group of Black Knights over. They'll take care of these people before they turn into new angel statues."
Little X immediately responded. "Also, I'll keep an eye on the Internet, nothing will go wrong."
"Very good."
Chen Chen nodded. Then, he slowly closed his eyes and began to rest.
Seeing this, Little X immediately stopped talking. She knew that Chen Chen had been fighting since last night and had not rested at all. Now, both his physical strength and Field energy were on the verge of exhaustion, so she could not bear to disturb Chen Chen any further. Instead, she had the Black Knights drive toward the suburbs of Los Angeles.
Chen Chen kept himself in a half-awake state. As the car bumped along, his neck began to feel waves of numbness and itchiness, as if thousands of ants were crawling in his body.
He knew that this was a sign that the damaged parts of his body were beginning to repair. If an outsider saw this, they would immediately notice that red muscle fibers were constantly extending from the wound on Chen Chen's neck, wriggling like thousands of worms. At a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye, Chen Chen's neck began to repair itself automatically!
This was the regenerative ability comparable to a Tyrant after being injected with the customized version of the T-virus. As long as he did not die on the spot or suffer brain damage, he could quickly recover no matter how serious the injury was...
Half an hour later, Chen Chen returned to the headquarters of Osmond Biotechnology, but he did not go in. Instead, he rented a room in a nearby hotel and stayed there.
After this period, Chen Chen's neck finally recovered to a certain extent. Even if the Field faded, he could still maintain basic physiological activities. At this time, Chen Chen finally let go of the control of the Field. After injecting himself with a few nutrition shots, he immediately fell asleep...
Chen Chen's sleep was not peaceful.
A night of battle had made his cerebral cortex extremely active. Even in his sleep, he had nightmares. He dreamed that the angel statue could not be suppressed and began to spread wildly around the world.
Countless people died overnight. The situation had reached an irreparable point, so Chen Chen had to bear the pain and abandon this place. He took his parents and loved ones into the USB drive channel and went to another world to take refuge.
However, in that world, he encountered something far more terrifying than the meme...
In the end, Chen Chen stood alone among the pile of corpses of his parents and loved ones, howling at the sky. In front of him, there was a strange shadow that blotted out the sky...
“！”
In the darkness, Chen Chen opened his eyes abruptly.
He looked around with some confusion, only to find that he was in a beautifully decorated guest room. It was already dark outside the window.
Chen Chen slowly sat up. Only then did he feel like his stomach was on fire. The intense hunger and thirst made him very unbearable.
He picked up the water bottle prepared by Little X next to him and poured it all into his stomach without thinking. Then, he picked up the energy bar next to him and ate it in big mouthfuls. These energy bars were digested by Chen Chen's powerful digestive ability almost as soon as they entered his stomach. It was not until he had eaten dozens of energy bars that Chen Chen felt a lot less hungry.
After throwing the finished packaging on the ground, Chen Chen pulled the bed covers and got out of bed. Only then did he realize that the entire bed was soaked. Due to the injury, his body had undergone a round of transformation in his sleep.
Seeing this, Chen Chen touched his neck as if he felt something. At this time, his neck had completely recovered. Not only the muscles and skin, but even the broken spine had also healed. It was as if the injury during the day was just an illusion.
However, the Field energy in his mind had not recovered much and was still in a state of exhaustion.
As if hearing the sound, Little X's voice came directly from the computer speaker in the room. "Sir Godfather, you're awake. How do you feel?"
"It's alright, I'm almost recovered."
Chen Chen twisted his neck, making a "click" sound. After confirming that his neck had recovered, he asked again, "What's the situation in Los Angeles now?"
"We've taken in four statues in one day and the remaining three statues are still being searched and pursued. At the same time, we've also destroyed all Northern American citizens who may have been infected by the meme, a total of one hundred and thirty-four people. However, the Northern American government reacted and they also sent out troops to conduct a secret search operation. There was even a conflict with our Black Knights, but they didn't find any evidence of our existence."
Little X said, "Their officials also called our headquarters and asked if we sent armed forces to attack Los Angeles."
Hearing this, Chen Chen was not surprised at all. When the angel statue appeared, he had to ask Little X to warn the Northern American government in the name of Blacklight Biotechnology, which later led to the situation where the Los Angeles police sealed off the Herrank Warehouse District.
The reason for this was because if Little X did not reveal her identity, the Northern American government would not have believed her and would not have sealed off the Herrank Warehouse District so quickly.
However, this did create a hidden danger — after this battle, Blacklight Biotechnology would inevitably move from behind the scenes to the front. At least in the upper echelons of the Earth Federation, part of Blacklight Biotechnology's strength could no longer be hidden...
Still, this was not a big deal. As the influence of Blacklight Biotechnology grew, it was only a matter of time before the Earth Federation showed its hand. It was just that the appearance of this incident had disrupted Chen Chen's plan and brought forward the time of the showdown.
At that time, the situation should have ended in the Herrank Warehouse District. It was just that the development of the meme eventually went out of control and evolved into the current situation.
With this in mind, Chen Chen did not feel any remorse or regret. He just nodded and said casually, "In that case, let the Northern American officials be suspicious as long as we don't admit to sending armed forces to Los Angeles."
"So now, do we continue to search for the remaining three angel statues?"
Little X asked again, "Otherwise, they may eventually fall into the hands of the Northern American government."
Chen Chen pondered for a moment and then rejected the idea. "What we need to do now is to strictly prevent the spread of the angel statue meme. Even if some of the angel statues fall into the hands of the Northern American government, there's nothing we can do about it. Anyway, we've already informed them about the memetic nature of the statues. If we let the meme spread, it can only mean that humanity is doomed to face this disaster."
"Alright, I understand."
Little X agreed.
"Right, how's the situation on Carter's side?"
Chen Chen suddenly thought of the situation on Osmond's side. He looked at his watch and saw that it was now 23: 00 on the first of June. He wondered if Carter, who was being pursued by the Black Knights, had arrived in Los Angeles.
"Carter has arrived in the territory of Los Angeles, only half an hour away from here."
Little X replied, "If you still haven't woken up in half an hour, I was going to wake you up."
"Is it finally here?"
Chen Chen's spirits were lifted when he heard this. He had been waiting for this moment for three years. Even the reason why he came to Los Angeles was not because of this memetic infection incident, but to welcome the arrival of Carter.
The reason why Chen Chen took this so seriously was that this matter was related to the secret of the USB flash drive. It could even be said that the final outcome of this matter was related to the rise and fall of Chen Chen and even Blacklight Biotechnology!
It was just that Chen Chen had gone to greet the other party with the attitude of a complete victory. Now, even before he had seen the other party's face, he had already suffered heavy casualties. This scene gave Chen Chen an ominous feeling.
Could it be that Kite was really the so-called "main character", the so-called "Son of the Dimension"?
However, in the next second, this thought was quickly discarded by Chen Chen. He slowly walked to the bedside and looked at the brightly lit city outside the window. A sharp glint appeared in his eyes.
"Rowling Carter, even if you're the Dimension's Child, the protagonist of the entire world, so what?
"I'd like to see if the destiny of the Dimension's Child is stronger or if the fate of me and Blacklight Biotechnology is stronger!"
Chen Chen muttered in a low voice, then he directly opened the window and flew out. In just the blink of an eye, he had completely merged into the dark night...
