Chapter 878 Mental Plague

George's sharp shout startled all of his comrades. Although they didn't understand the purpose of George's actions, out of mutual trust, they stood their ground, maintaining a distance of about seven or eight meters from each other.

"George, answer me, what happened?" A teammate asked in a very low voice, "We noticed that after you entered the building, your mental state seemed to be a bit off. Your thinking became unusually scattered, and you also made some incomprehensible physical movements."

"Can you tell us, what did you see after you entered the building?"

Since the appearance of evolutionaries in the world, human civilization, including Li Tianran, had also developed some special technologies for different types of evolutionaries.

For example, the mental watch worn on the wrists of teammates could detect the mental state of cerebra-type evolutionaries.

The attack methods of cerebra-type evolutionaries were difficult to observe and could not be seen with the naked eye, but this watch could detect changes in the mental strength of cerebra-type evolutionaries, allowing them to observe the opponent's attack intentions in advance.

If the mental strength of a cerebra-type evolutionary in a normal state was 100, then once the watch showed 150, it meant that the opponent might be about to attack.

And once the mental strength decreased, it meant that there might be a problem with the other party's body, possibly an injury.

Just now, George's mental strength fluctuated greatly, rising to a maximum of 230, which was almost the level of a full-force attack; and at its lowest, his mental strength dropped to less than 20, close to a near-death state...

This huge change in mental state, coupled with the happy smile that George had just shown on his face, and his chest out, discarding his gun, as if he were about to step into a palace of happiness, made the team members immediately realize that there was something wrong with his mental state.

Although they didn't know what the problem was, the team members detected that George's vital signs had been declining through the life energy detector.

This was definitely not a good sign.

To change the thinking of a cerebra-type evolutionary, besides using a stronger mental ability to forcibly interfere, they could only use external force to harm his body, so that his own pain instinct would overcome his body's thinking ability.

Facts proved that their approach was indeed very effective.

The teammate's gunfire shattered George's knees, and also awakened him from that chaotic mental state.

"Hoo... hoo..." George's forehead veins bulged, he was panting violently, his knees were bleeding profusely, and he was in great pain.

But at this time, the physical pain was far less intense than the psychological fear.

George looked up at the dark corridor of the resettlement area. As a cerebra-type evolutionary, his mental strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, but after stepping into the corridor, he fell into the environment almost instantly, without any ability to resist, and without even suspecting anything!

If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid there would be no chance to escape!

"There is strong mental radiation inside, which can affect a person's thinking ability, causing people to have incredibly realistic hallucinations, even I can hardly resist!"

George pointed to the corridor and said in a very solemn tone, "I guess everyone inside has already been affected!"

Faced with mental radiation that could invade even cerebra-type evolutionaries, ordinary people could not possibly escape.

Moreover, judging from the life energy feedback just now, many people in this building may have already died in that happy hallucination...

The crowd was silent, and then turned their attention to the soldier who had been dragged out by George.

"Yes, our goal for next month is to increase turnover to three hundred million. As long as we can achieve this goal, as the boss, I will definitely not treat you badly..."

The soldier waved his arms, and a look of "confident majesty" appeared on his immature face. He sat pale and slumped on the ground, but looked as if he were standing in the highest office of the Empire State Building, making a grand announcement about his future ambitions to his loyal subordinates!

"We, we will become the leaders of this industry!"

The soldier clenched his fists and roared this sentence from his thin, shriveled chest. Blood溢溢from his mouth, indicating that his life was coming to an end, but he seemed to feel nothing, his face full of happy smiles.

George knew this soldier.

His name was Anthony. He was a new recruit who had just joined the army. Before the world's cataclysm, he was a real estate agent, and owning his own company was his lifelong dream...

And now, this dream seemed to have come true in his hallucination.

"Pa pa pa!" George grabbed Anthony's collar and raised his hand to slap the other person hard a few times, wanting to wake him up in the same way he had been awakened.

But what was unexpected was that as George slapped him a few times, Anthony did not react at all. Apart from his breathing becoming weaker, there was no sign of him waking up.

Seeing this, George pulled out his dagger and stabbed it into the palm of his hand.

Blood spurted out!

But Anthony seemed to have lost all sense of pain. Not to mention waking up, even the smile on his face did not change in the slightest.

"Geo... George, outside your body..." Just at this moment, a teammate next to him suddenly opened his mouth tremblingly, pointed his finger at George, and asked, "What is that thing?"

When George heard his teammate's cry, he looked down and saw that on the exposed skin of his body, there were countless tiny rays of light emitting colorful light. They twisted and wriggled like worms as they burrowed into his body.

And as these worm-like rays of light invaded, the hallucination that had originally collapsed actually reappeared faintly in George's mind.

"Fuck!" George was taken aback. He cursed angrily and directly activated his cerebra ability, forcibly maintaining his composure, trying to expel these rays of light.

But soon, he discovered that even with his cerebra ability fully activated, he could only slow down the speed at which the light rays invaded, and could not completely expel them. This thing was like a maggot clinging to his bone, completely sticking to George.

"That thing, it crawled out of Anthony's body..." A team member discovered the source of those strange rays of light.

Anthony's body was now like a giant insect nest, with a large number of colorful rays of light emerging from the pores of his body, crawling towards George, who was the closest.

There were also some rays of light crawling towards the other teammates who were further away.

"Ahhh..." Outside George's body, those colorful rays of light had completely burrowed into his body. His brain was in a state of mad confusion. The desolate No. 7 City and the wedding scene in the hallucination appeared intertwined and overlapping in his brain.

He poked his fingers into the wound on his knee, trying to repeat the same trick and use pain to awaken himself.

But this time, he failed.

The colorful rays of light that crawled out of Anthony's body seemed to be endless, constantly burrowing into George and the bodies of the teammates around him.

It was unknown how long had passed, but George's screams and the roars of his teammates weakened, replaced by happy laughter.

Those rays of light were not mental radiation at all.

It was a plague.

A mental plague.

Its speed of transmission was faster than any virus!
