Chapter 25 Announcement of Results
Night falls.
Huang Duo was not sleepy at all, but she heard that she would suddenly fall asleep at a certain time, so she kept slapping her face, hoping to fight against the sudden sleepiness.
Haohao on the side was yawning and feeling sleepy.
"Haohao, don't be afraid."
Huang Duo patted Haohao gently, still feeling a little worried.
Although Chen Xuan was very sure that Haohao was safe, Huang Duo was still worried because he was now being quarantined here.
Everyone in the room knew what was about to happen, and some were sobbing, some were silent, some were praying, and some were making arrangements for their funeral arrangements.
The room was not small, but it was filled with a feeling of despair.
"Mom, I'm so sleepy, can I sleep?"
"Haohao, be good and wait a little longer."
"Wait a little longer, and you can sleep..."
Before Huang Duo could finish her words, a huge sleepiness swept over her, dragging her consciousness into the abyss.
This also means that she has become... a cursed person.
Meanwhile, people in the meeting room on the other side also realized that sleepwalking had begun!!
Everyone stood up. They no longer had the energy to sit down. They leaned in to look at the screen, waiting for the verdict.
Huang Duo's deep sleep attracted everyone's contempt. As expected, Chen Xuan's plan would result in the death of one person and was completely unrestricted. Now it depends on whether other plans are successful.
Liu Mei stared at the three people in the room from her special project team. According to her guess, if nothing unexpected happened... none of them would be asleep.
But the accident still happened.
Suddenly, the family members who were still awake began to nod, their eyelids heavy, their heads shaking, floating and struggling on the edge of dreams.
Even so, as long as we haven't completely fallen asleep, there is still hope. This is true not only for Project One, but also for Projects Two and Three.
Only the situation of Project Group 4 and Project Group 5 is the most serious.
A family of three, a couple, a total of five people fell into a deep sleep and began to march towards their destination.
This shows that the plan of simply waking up the sleepwalker has completely failed.
It also means...that two transmission chains have become five transmission chains.
This is undoubtedly bad news. If they are no longer restricted, they are likely to expand again once they reach their destination.
But there is no conclusion yet... No one knows what plan to use because there is still one last plan, and no results have been released.
In the room, only ten people were still awake. One of them was Haohao, who was awake and stunned by the scene before him. The other nine were struggling in their sleep, not knowing what the outcome would be.
Liu Mei was a little uneasy. The scene in front of her was different from what she had expected. The sleeping scene reminded her of Chen Xuan's words.
“Can you guarantee the results?”
"It's a good thing you didn't fall asleep. If you can struggle successfully, it means humans can still fight against ghosts!"
The sleep continued. In fact, not much time had passed, but everyone felt like they had just lived for the rest of their lives. They clenched their fists and stared at the screen. For a moment, the scene became strangely quiet.
"Um……"
A soft groan broke the silence at the scene. The father in the surveillance video frowned and slowly opened his eyes.
“Success!!”
There was a sigh of relief in the hall, even Liu Mei breathed a sigh of relief. She subconsciously looked at Chen Xuan, but found that Chen Xuan was no longer looking at the screen. He was pointing and sending messages on the screen of his mobile phone .
"Mom is awake too..."
In the surveillance video, the mother also woke up. After waking up, she was overjoyed and began to shake her son's body to wake him up.
If... my son could wake up too.
Liu Mei smiled triumphantly. As expected, she hadn't lost. Now her parents were both awake. Even in the worst-case scenario, where her son couldn't wake up, the chain of transmission wouldn't increase. Besides, her son might...
"tap."
The son stood up suddenly, but the difference was...
He didn't open his eyes.
He leaned forward, and no matter how his parents called him, he still took a step forward and walked towards the distance little by little. Not only him, but also people in the second and third groups stood up and gradually walked into the "two-dimensional" space.
There is just one father and one mother.
This scene made everyone who were cheering stop abruptly. They stared at the screen blankly with mixed emotions.
The results are finally out.
Project groups one, two, three, and six infected one person, while groups four and five infected five people.
Including the previously added chains of infection, there are currently... 10 chains of infection.
"Are they all mute?"
Kong Zheng spoke in a calm tone, his face still expressionless, without any change due to the result.
"Within two minutes, six teams, give me an answer. I want these ten infection chains to be the final number."
"Otherwise, none of us deserve to be in this conference room."
Kong Zheng looked at everyone with deep eyes. Liu Mei took a deep breath. Although the result was different from what she imagined, she still believed that she was right.
"Chief Kong, although the implementation of Plan 1 has deviated from expectations, the impact is still minimal. Moreover, perhaps through struggle, a family will truly be able to break free and end the chain of transmission."
"Chief Kong, please give the order and execute Plan One!"
Liu Mei tried her best to stare at Mayor Kong. Her chest rose and fell, and she pursed her lips, breathing hot air from her nose.
"Do you really think your plan was successful?"
The person who said this was Chen Xuan.
At this moment, Chen Xuan also stood up and looked at Liu Mei across the table.
Liu Mei refused to give in and retorted:
"Compared to the above, my plan is the best. Your plan will definitely result in one person's death, while mine will only result in one person's death at most!"
" Did you see the footage in the surveillance video?"
"Are you sure these results are acceptable to these three families?"
Chen Xuan pointed at the screen and shouted loudly:
"The mother of Project 2 has cancer and, optimistically, can live for three years. Do you think it's a success to let the father of their family die?"
"Look at the parents' breakdown in the surveillance video. If they were given the choice again, would they choose to die themselves or their son?"
"In the end, I never thought they were struggling when they were half asleep."
"That's just the process of the Pen Fairy selecting its target."
"Your plan isn't much better. Someone will always die."
"Why not let them discuss it again before dying, instead of giving them all a hope of survival, and then destroying it?" "Just to give yourself another reason to deceive yourself?"
Liu Mei never thought that Chen Xuan, who was usually taciturn, would speak so sharply now, like a shrew who was right and was determined to force her to lose her temper.
She was a little angry, but it was not her turn to speak.
"Okay, both teams' proposals have their merits."
"Let's stick to what Chen Xuan said first... We can't let the chain of transmission spread any further."
Kong Zheng spoke and looked at Chen Xuan, and Chen Xuan no longer targeted Liu Mei, but said :
"Now, follow the sleepwalker to the destination and ask the other party who is willing to sacrifice. If no one is willing, then all of them can come out and choose randomly."
"Although one person will definitely die, at least the chain of transmission can be controlled."
Kong Zheng nodded and said:
"action."
Liu Mei stood up and looked at Chen Xuan's back. This tired body seemed to hide a huge demon, which made her feel scared.
