Chapter 200: Extermination

Chapter 200: Extermination

It was the third morning of Zhang Jue and Yang Xue's arrival at Site-237. The storm had just stopped, the air was still filled with sand and dirt, and the scene in the distance was not at all clear.

Zhang Jue found Kiddo behind the site's stone monument and a metal coffin. The coffin was buried deep in the sandy bottom, and if the storm hadn't blown the top layer of sand away, they might never have found it.

The coffin was specially made and required a palm print to open. Zhang Jue was about to use the force, but the coffin made of metal suddenly opened on its own. In the coffin, a middle-aged man with long black hair lying quietly inside. Looking at the face, it looks like Yang Wenbai. It could also be the possibility that this person was Yang Wensong.

After the metal coffin opened, there is a compartment inside. It is made of a special glass material. Yang Wensong was lying inside. Zhang Jue looked carefully and found that the other person's chest was rising and falling regularly, and surprisingly there was still a heartbeat. When he saw the familiar face, Yang Xue's pupils dilated slightly.

"Father?" She shouted softly.

But Yang Wensong did not respond to her. He was lying at the bottom of that coffin, as if he was really dead. Read latest chapters at novelhall.com Only

"Don't be anxious." Zhang Jue patted her shoulder, "He is still alive,"

It was a very significant discovery that Yang Wensong had been buried here. Unlike Gray and other people like Loris. Yang Wensong was specially invited to Site-237 by Healey, who is the Head of the Antimemetics Division.

The entire underground palace was built with his participation, and he was the important figures in the Antimemetics Division fighting with SCP-3125. By bringing him back to life, they will be able to restore the whole truth of this site.

The most important thing is that after this battle with SCP-3125, Yang Wensong actually survived. Perhaps he already knew the way to defeat SCP-3125. This metal coffin is obviously specially made, and the structure is very delicate. Yang Wensong didn't know how long he had been lying in it. Zhang Jue guessed that his current physical state was similar to hibernation, controlling his metabolism to just enough to sustain life. No matter how many years had passed, as long as the power inside the metal coffin did not run out, he could remain dormant forever.

The metal coffin is very heavy, probably weighing several tons. The good thing is that Zhang Jue's current body is no longer an ordinary person. Even if you can't move it, you can still drag it. Several people found ropes and tied the coffin tightly around the coffin, and Zhang Jue dragged the coffin back to the main building.

...

"We have to open this thing." Zhang Jue said as he looked at Yang Xue.

Yang Xue knew what he meant, because such an act had risks. Yang Wensong's life might depend on it, and by risking opening it, Yang Wensong might die immediately. A more conservative approach, it would be better to bring this metal box back to the Foundation.

But now they can't do it at this moment. Yang Xue thought about it and nodded her head.

"Since he put himself here, he should have considered someone finding him, and I'm sure he has a way."

Zhang Jue hummed, he was on the same page. Yang Wensong was rigorous and talked about backhandedness, so he shouldn't make such a low-level mistake. The two of them made up their minds. Zhang Jue took out his own long sword and sliced at the layer of specially made glass.

His sword quickly cut through the glass with a sound. A cool air seeped out from inside, mixed with an unknown smell. Zhang Jue smelled it and guessed that it was some kind of nutrient that could be absorbed by the skin.

When the airlock was broken, Yang Wensong could no longer remain in hibernation. His chest rose and fell violently, and his breathing sharply. Yang Xue rushed up to check the situation. After a few minutes Yang Wensong's breathing and heartbeat gradually returned to normal, seems to have adapted to the current external conditions but still did not wake up.

Yang Xue checked his pupils and heartbeat as usual. Then he took out a small instrument and put two electrodes on Yang Wensong's temple, seemingly observing his brain waves. A few minutes later, Yang Xue stood up with a frown on her face.

"Well..." Zhang Jue asked.

Yang Xue shook his head slightly, her face full of doubts. "Father's brainwaves are very strange, different from those of the researchers. As if..."

"As if what?"

"As if a vegetative person." Yang Xue looked down at her father's face, "Only a vegetative person brain waves would show up like this."

Hearing Yang Xue say that. Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows. It was so hard to find Yang Wensong, but it turned out that he had turned into a vegetative state.

Zhang Jue asked, "Could it be affected by some SCP?"

"I can't be sure, I can only say that it's possible." Yang Xue said, "My equipment has limited capabilities. If I want to figure out why my father became this way, I need to do a full examination of his brain before I can do that."

Loris asked, "Can't those devices in the site work?"

Yang Xue shook her head, "Most of the equipment here is for research use, not for medical use."

"Don't bother, just leave it to me."

Zhang Jue said, reaching his hand towards Yang Wensong's head. He wanted to use the SCP-049's ability on Yang Wensong. But Yang Xue held his wrist and Zhang Jue lifted his head.

Looking at the characteristic steely face of the Asian man, Kiddo's face showed a look of disgust. He seemed to have a deep-seated hatred for Yang Wensong. He raised the dagger in his hand and moved to stab Yang Wensong's heart.

It was a close call. A gunshot can be heard. The bullet hit Kiddo's wrist, and blood instantly spilled out. Under the pain, the dagger in Kidd's hand flew out. He turned his head back. He saw Zhang Jue leaning against the door frame, looking at him in amusement.

"Kiddo Boy, I'll count to ten for you to come and make up a reasonable reason for me, is that enough?"

"I..."

Kiddo covered his wrist and was about to speak.

Only to hear Zhang Jue said, "Ten."

Then there was another shot, hitting Kiddo in the abdomen. While ensuring that he wouldn't die immediately, it also left Kid completely incapable of fighting back. Zhang Jue walked over to him and picked him up like a chicken.

"Are you wondering why I didn't fall for it?" Zhang Jue laughed, "The reason is simple, I already knew you were wrong. Remember when I said I was going to leave here? I was talking to you."

Kiddo looked at Zhang Jue with a sinister look, "You already knew that I was watching you from the shadows. So, you deliberately said you were leaving to lure me to show myself."

"You deserve a reward for answering correctly." Zhang Jue said, and shot him again in the thigh.

Kiddo let out a pig-like howl.

Zhang Jue looked at him, "I thought people infected by SCP-3125 wouldn't feel pain, but so far it seems like that's not the case. You're disappointing me."

Kiddo looked into Zhang Jue's eyes, wanting to swallow Zhang Jue in one gulp. However, Zhang Jue smiled.

"It seems like you're really weak right now."

He said this to SCP-3125. It was in its prime, but it would infect whoever knew it. Where it would be so wretched as it was now, and it would take time to infect a person.

"Why my ability has no effect on you?" Kidd looked at him and roared, "Tell me why!"

"I'm not going to tell you, so go ahead and guess for yourself."

Zhang Jue chuckled. But half a second later, he changed his mind.

"How about this, let's make a deal. How about that?"

This was Zhang Jue's usual tactic. He already didn't know how many people he had screwed over with this trick.

"Kiddo" asked, "What kind of deal?"

"I'll tell you why I'm not infected, and you tell me why Yang Wensong turned out like this." Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes and smiled heatedly, "How's that for a fair deal?"

"Kiddo" thought for a moment, then said, "Yes, it's a deal. You first!"

"I can't tell now, you're smart." Zhang Jue said, "Don't you see? You have no qualifications to talk about conditions now or I shot you."

"You'll only kill one of my infected." "Kiddo" said calmly, "Even if you kill everyone here, you can't threaten me."

This statement really spoke to Zhang Jue's heart. He had been circling around here, refusing to leave, in order to find a way to completely wipe out SCP-3125.

"Alright, I'll start." Zhang Jue sighed.

He was about to speak. Loris and Yang Xue also walked back.

"How is it on your side? Was the explosion serious?" Zhang Jue asked.

Yet neither of them answered his question. Their eyes were vacant as they each pulled out a pistol. Pointing it at Zhang Jue's head.

"Kiddo" sneered, "Advisor Zhang, it seems I no longer need to know why you're not infected. Exterminating you physically seems a bit more straightforward."
