Chapter 136: Goodbye Dr. Li

Chapter 136: Goodbye Dr. Li

Instead of staying at the place that the Foundation had arranged for him, Zhang Jue found himself in a nearby hotel.

He lay on his bed he carefully analyzed the current situation. So far, he had contacted four O5s directly or indirectly. Including O5-5, whom he just met today. Lei Shan's boss, O5-6. Lei Shui's boss, O5-10, and SCP-3844's old friend O5-12.

Among them, the only ones he had met were O5-5 and O5-12. Coincidentally, both of them have apparent hatred towards him and can be said to want to get rid of him before they do as for the others. Although not all of them are friendly to him, at least no apparent conflict was made between them.

Of course, the fact that no conflict had broken out did not mean that it was trustworthy; after all, it was unclear to him which O5 Guan Peng's transfer order had come from. Most of the O5 Council should have a wait-and-see attitude towards him. As long as he shows enough ability and does not overdo it, I believe they will not interfere in a short time.

With this in mind, he dared to act "arrogant" today at Site-19. He knows very well that the Foundation does not need a docile and obedient person. As long as he has the value of use, the Foundation will not do anything to him.

...

Although O5-5 forbade Zhang Jue to see SCP-682, it did not prevent him from entering Site-19. The next day he was accompanied by Morales and wandered around the facility. Site19 was the main headquarters of the Foundation and held many secrets. Even though Zhang Jue had Level 4 Security Clearance, there were still many places he couldn't get into.

However, he still made detours left and right and was happy to do so. As time goes, Morales was exhausted and couldn't catch up with Zhang Jue, but he was still alive and well.

"Little Mo, if you can't catch up with me, you need to exercise more." Zhang Jue patted Morales' shoulder and spoke in a serious manner, "Think about it, in case the containment breach happens one day. You won't be able to run much."

Morales said with a sad face, "Advisor Zhang. You need to be careful throwing those words in Site-19."

After a whole day together, Morales probably understood what kind of personality Zhang Jue was. When it comes to harsh words, he can't be stopped.

When Bellamy said one thing about him, he made Bellamy silent in a few words. Yesterday, when he met with an O5, knowing his character, it was estimated that both sides' interaction would not end well.

"I was just telling a joke, don't take it seriously. Look at your expression. Why do you look like you've stumbled upon something? People need to laugh more to look young." Zhang Jue said while laughing.

The world must be really small, huh.

A man who looked like a captain came forward, "Supervisor Morales, what's going on?"

Morales hurriedly explained, "This is the Foundation's Special Advisor, Zhang Jue. I was ordered to give him a tour around here."

"So that's how it is." The captain nodded and gestured to the rear, and only then did all the team members lowered their guns. He turned to Zhang Jue, "Advisor Zhang, we have a mission to do. So, please make it quick."

Before Zhang Jue could say anything, Dr. Li shouted, "No! Don't take me away! Zhang Jue, kill me! If you're a man, kill me!"

The Foundation's D-Class personnel, who were generally on death row for their most heinous crimes, is used by the Foundation for various experiments. After being brought back by the Foundation for a review, Dr. Li already knew his fate.

He was begging for death, but he couldn't get it. He could only live in fear day by day. He didn't know what kind of cruel experiments he would be subjected to next. I wonder if he still remembers what he said at Site-14.

Dr. Li violates one of the biggest things in the Foundation, leading the Chaos Insurgency to enter Site-14, killing and injuring countless security personnel there, and nearly setting off a nuclear strike. Even if he were subjected to the harshest punishment, Zhang Jue would not be soft-hearted.

He looked at the nearly crazy Dr. Li and calmly said, "Li Chengming, when you betrayed the Foundation, you should have thought there would be consequences like this. You only had one life to use. It was simply a bargain for you."

"Zhang Jue, you bastard. You arrogant prick, why don't you just kill me right now!" Dr. Li kept going back and forth with these few words, and Zhang Jue was tired of hearing them. He waved his hand and told the security personnel to take him away.

Unexpectedly, Dr. Li was furious and pushed the security personnel away.

Bang!

The captain shot Dr. Li in the leg, and he fell to the ground while screaming in pain. The captain gave a command, and the team pulled out a tape and tried to shut his mouth.

Knowing that this was his only chance, Dr. Li shouted a second before his mouth was gagged, "Zhang Jue, don't you want to know who really wants to kill you? The person who pushed you into SCP-053 was not me at all!"
