Back to the main topic, I'll start from the beginning about the zoo.
It started eight years ago. At that time, our organization received news that a zoo had appeared out of thin air in the suburbs. Many people went in and never came out. After receiving this news, the organization attached great importance to it, so they sent the five of us to investigate.
At that time, the zoo was not as big as it is now. It was probably as big as the dotted circle on the map, so it was easy to investigate.
Very soon, we met 'it'. After a series of probing, the quick-witted Old Chen quickly discovered the truth of the matter. It would turn humans who accidentally entered it into various animals through meme pollution.
"Moreover, we discovered that if we don't control it, this zoo will gradually expand and even swallow our city one day. Its power would also become stronger, and the entire world might even become its paradise.
After learning this information, we hurriedly contacted the organization and applied for a large amount of funds. We have decided to destroy it for the future of mankind!
At first, it was Old Chen who proposed a plan. Since the other party's method is meme pollution, then we'll follow it. We'll expand the zoo and fill it with all kinds of animals to attract a large number of tourists. We hope to use a large number of tourists to consume its energy.
However, the safety of the tourists was of utmost importance. Once the tourists were completely contaminated and turned into animals, not only would it not weaken the other party's strength, but it would also increase the number of accomplices.
But soon, after many days of observation, we completely grasped its behavior and cognition.
Then, based on this information, we formulated extremely safe tourist rules. As long as the visitors followed the rules, they would be able to leave the zoo safely. At the same time, in order to prevent any accidents from happening, we used our extremely high welfare benefits to recruit a large number of staff. Through the contents of the employee code, we added a double insurance for the tourists.
In this way, even if some tourists did not follow the rules and were in danger, there would be staff members who would come in time to save them.
In the first five years, as we expected, all the tourists were very safe.
Even if some of the tourists were unlucky enough to fall into the trap, they would be able to walk out of the zoo safely with the help of the staff.
Moreover, in the future, after interacting with normal people, they would quickly return to normal without any sequelae.
However, this balance was completely broken in the sixth year.
After five years of hard work, constantly weakening the other party's abilities, we thought victory was right in front of us. However, reality gave us a heavy slap.
Its power had not been reduced, and it had even become stronger.
We can't figure out what went wrong and why things turned out like this.
July 23rd, 20xv, I will always remember that day.
On that day, I saw a scene that I would never forget.
At that time, Old Zhang and I were patrolling the elephant park. Suddenly, something happened. A strange elephant appeared out of thin air among the elephants. It was extremely eye-catching.
That snow-white body, long rabbit ears, and crimson red eyes caused me to suffer a great shock. In fact, my understanding of it was on the verge of collapse.
In the park, the normal elephants were even more flustered and ran around as if the strange elephant was a carnivorous beast.
At that time, there were quite a number of spectators in the park. They were also scared silly and stood rooted to the ground. They did not notice that the frightened elephants were charging at them.
At this critical moment, Old Zhang was the first to wake up. He used his ability to transform into a giant elephant and rushed towards the frightened elephants and the strange elephant.
After a bitter struggle, Elder Chen won with difficulty. All the elephants quieted down, and the strange elephant disappeared after being killed.
Just as Old Chen was about to transform back, a child's scream suddenly erupted in our ears.
Then, Old Chen's body disappeared into thin air. At that time, I was shocked, so I quickly contacted Old Chen and the others. When they received this news, they were also shocked and hurriedly arranged for people to search.
Finally, we found Old Zhang's body at night. He maintained his elephant appearance and floated in the whale area of the aquarium.
From his corpse, we can tell that he must have been tortured before he died.
Seeing this scene, Old Zhao could no longer suppress his anger and completely exploded. He had a big fight with us and cursed that Old Zhang was killed by Old Chen! She should have listened to him and gathered all her strength to destroy the other party. If he had listened to him, Old Zhang wouldn't have died such a miserable death!
In the end, this argument did not yield any results. Old Zhao slammed the door angrily and left. That night, the lion's roar shook the entire zoo.
However, Old Zhao also failed. He was not killed.
Since then, the zoo had an additional area for the white lion, an area that it did not dare to step into.
This is also the legacy that Old Zhao left for us.
In the next few days, I also reported this to the organization, but the organization did not have any extra manpower.
The other places were becoming more and more strange, and the organization was also lacking in strength.
After receiving this news, we also felt despair and even gave up on ourselves.
But in the end, Elder Chen stood up again.
He monopolized all the power and established the position of director, taking all the responsibilities on his own.
In the following time, he began to tell the truth to all the employees. He knew that the three of us could not defeat the other party at all.
After these employees found out the truth, many of them chose to leave, but even more chose to stay.
It was at this moment that I regained my confidence. Because we are not alone.
No matter what danger they faced, humans would always embrace hope and bravely sacrifice themselves.
Unity, courage, and unwavering loyalty were the greatest strengths of humans!
Just like that, the situation gradually improved. We once again used the rules to restrict it.
Just as we were about to celebrate our victory, reality gave us another slap in the face.
We were too na?ve. We once again underestimated the other party's strength.
However, we simply can't figure out how it became stronger after so many years of weakening.
July 23rd, 20xw.
On the same day as last year, it jumped out of the rules again.
Not only was it using meme corruption, it was also distorting the rules.
The rules of the visitors had been tampered with without their knowledge.
On this day, not a single visitor escaped from the zoo.
All of them died!
By the time we got the news, it was already too late. All the tourists had turned into animals.
Elder Chen was on the verge of a mental breakdown. The pressure he had been under for so many years had suddenly exploded. He felt that all of this was caused by him.
If he had listened to Old Zhao's words and gathered his strength to fight to the death with the other party earlier, perhaps the tragedy that followed would not have happened.
Old Chen's eyes were red as he handed me the director's badge.
Then, he walked out of the director's office, and Old Li followed him.
Before I left, Old Li patted my shoulder and said helplessly,"Old Zhou, don't come with us. You're our last hope. I still think that Old Chen's method is fine. If we fail, you must work hard to protect this zoo!”
I didn't say anything at that time. I just stared blankly at the two of them disappearing into the night.
That night, the lion roared again. I could hear Old Chen's unwillingness in his furious roar.
The next day, there were two more white lions in the lion park.
We failed again.
