Chapter 246

"Is there a possibility that the Foundation's containment measures failed, just like when Dr. Kondraki rode 'The Immortal Lizard' and destroyed most of the site?"

"Impossible. Dr. Kondraki had already ravaged the entire site to that state, and no anomalies broke containment. Mere anomalies, the Foundation can definitely handle."

"Very possible. Before the anomalies became anomalies, they attacked the Foundation's site in clusters, releasing high-risk anomalies in groups, which is enough to cause the end of the world."

"Doesn't this mean the Foundation is like a trash can? As long as the trash can breaks, the whole world will be flooded by trash?"

"I like your description. Remember to write your will."

The Foundation's video was still continuing.

The characters in the footage were no longer the confused Joel, but instead, a group of people dressed differently.

They were either fully armed, wearing combat uniforms, or dressed in glamorous and beautiful clothes, in expensive suits, or dressed ordinarily, like passersby seen everywhere...

Everyone had a serious expression, their footsteps didn't stop, and they were moving forward in a hurry.

The surrounding plants were lush, the mountain peaks were towering, the canyons were majestic, the grasslands were open, and the splashing sound of waterfalls was endless, as if the apocalypse had nothing to do with this place.

【Yellowstone National Park】.

The audience knew the name of this place through the letters, and questions followed—how did the Foundation people have the leisure to come to the park?

Were they here for a walk?

It couldn't be that they were here to take a shit, right?

"'SCP-2000' is here? Good location choice."

Welt Yang looked at the screen, silently pondering.

The world before he traveled also had a scenic spot called 【Yellowstone National Park】.

In an inadvertent moment, Welt Yang thought he had returned there.

From this, he suspected that the world the Foundation was in had a deep connection with the planet he once protected.

It was very likely the same planet in different worlds!

His thinking continued, and he heard a burst of violent mechanical operation sounds. The park ground began to tremble violently, like an earthquake.

In shocked eyes, the ground of 【Yellowstone National Park】 appeared with huge cracks, separating to both sides, revealing a downward passage.

No one hesitated; the Foundation members went down in an orderly manner and entered it.

Everyone went down the steps, and on both sides of the passage, unknown devices were densely packed.

Reaching the bottom, a heavy metal door blocked their way.

"Authentication in progress: Ganymede Protocol has been implemented, security system unlocked;"

"Permission unlocked: Allowing any Foundation personnel to initiate 'Program CYA-009';"

"Identity verification: Identity verification passed."

"Ssh—"

Several electronic sounds rang out one after another, the heavy metal door slowly opened, the interlocking gear structures moved away from each other, revealing the internal scene of "Deus Ex Machina."

An underground city!

Before this, no one would doubt that "Deus Ex Machina" was a large facility, but no one would have thought it was so huge.

"How long has the Foundation been preparing for the end of the world..."

"Unimaginable..."

The entire underground was hollowed out, the distance between the dome and the deepest part would not be less than 2 kilometers, each building-like structure was an instrument, and countless pipelines crisscrossed within it.

This was an underground city far larger than a first-tier metropolis.

After seeing this scene, Fu Xuan couldn't help but marvel at it.

The most spectacular thing here was not these building-like facilities, but the neatly arranged chambers, like giant bird eggs.

In them, there were people with different faces, their bodies clean, all soaked in pale yellow liquid, floating up and down, sleeping soundly.

The next moment.

An alarm sounded, echoing in the desolate city, like a ghost town that had triggered an alarm.

"Click—"

"Click—"

"Click—"

Pieces of lights lit up, and the roar of machines resounded.

In the containers, one human after another opened their eyes, confused and helpless, like newborn cubs.

"6, I guess the Foundation has been preparing to build this 'SCP-2000' Deus Ex Machina since the first day of its establishment. This thing must have spent quite a lot of time and resources to build."

(bbda) "I have a way to save effort—I can use reality warpers like Zhao Zena to create things out of thin air. Wouldn't it be faster to complete the construction this way?"

"Rest assured, everything you can think of, the big shots of the Foundation must have thought of. Don't forget, no matter how terrifying the end of the world is, the Foundation still has Administrator sitting in command. Perhaps humanity is extinct, but the Foundation itself will still last forever."

"But even if the Foundation has enough mechanical equipment to replicate humans, how to ensure that the replicated people won't notice that the world has been reset? It must take a lot of time for the Foundation to replicate all the people on an entire planet. What does the Foundation plan to do during this time window?"

"Don't forget, the Foundation has memory erasure means. If they notice something is wrong, they can just clear all memories."

"What you said makes so much sense, I actually can't refute it."

The heavy rain stopped, and the dark clouds dispersed.
