Chapter 439
A slight sense of weightlessness came, and the lights on both sides of the elevator shaft swept across everyone's faces as they rose upward.
Captain Luo Yi raised his head, looking at the increasingly distant iron door, and for some reason, suddenly felt a sense of peace.
"This is probably what they call... facing it?"
Captain Luo Yi mocked himself in his heart, when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.
"Luo Yi."
He turned his head and looked at that agent.
"Hmm?"
The agent's name was Olman, burly in build, wearing a mask, revealing only the part above the bridge of his nose.
"I have a guess, a very bad guess..."
Olman's voice was somewhat low; he opened his mouth, but didn't know what else to say.
After a moment, he put away his confusion, "I was on duty on the 19th, I remember you guys went out on a mission at that time?"
"I was on duty that day too." Captain Luo Yi's tone was calm, as if he were just stating a matter unrelated to himself.
"Will we be inside?"
Olman asked tentatively.
No matter what, seeing a dead body exactly like oneself in another world was always a bit strange.
——Even if it wasn't them who died.
It was better not to see it.
"Don't be in a hurry, we'll know soon."
Captain Luo Yi said, while turning to look at the other side—more accurately, looking at two agents.
"I, Foster, and Morocco spent the whole night in the weapons laboratory."
The team members mentioned by name remained silent, their eyes moving with the lights in the elevator shaft, like two sunflowers.
The light shone from all around, casting star-shaped shadows under everyone's feet.
Everyone knew what Olman was worried about.
Even if this was another world, even if the one who died here wasn't "themselves"...
But...
The entire elevator fell into a long silence again.
Proliferating, spreading, and extending like cancer, quietly covering every single person within it.
An agent broke this atmosphere, like a silver vase suddenly shattering:
"Did you guys hear that?"
Other agents asked:
"Hear what?"
"A containment breach alarm?"
"I have a question, I haven't figured it out yet." Captain Luo Yi shook his head, "The breach alarm is automatic—but it requires the containment chamber to trigger it; otherwise, it can only be started manually."
Everyone fell into deep thought.
And at this moment, Agent Keller thought for a moment and speculated:
"Someone must have gone to the office and started the emergency broadcast."
"That's an automatic response." Captain Luo Yi shook his head, "It's probably because the life detector didn't receive any results that it triggered it."
"Can a life detector trigger an emergency response?"
"One can't, but if the quantity is large enough, it can... so, there are many questions that need answering; the world here is definitely not as simple as 'everything is dead' as we see."
Captain Luo Yi glanced at the elevator shaft wall and put on his tactical goggles, "We're here."
A slight vibration came from under their feet, and the elevator cabin stopped steadily.
And not far in front of everyone was the true entrance gate to Site-81.
Every site contains many containment objects, and the site gate is the final barrier separating the containment objects from the "daily" world.
Therefore, ordinary containment objects wanting to physically breach the site would have to spend a certain amount of time.
Let alone these agents.
Captain Luo Yi shifted his gaze to confirm the situation here.
Everything here gave him a sense of peace and familiarity, as if he had returned home.
After he completed the inspection by visual observation, he reached a conclusion:
Site-81 had enabled lockdown status.
"Keller, open the door, everyone be careful."
Captain Luo Yi was referring to the containment objects.
——These things are the hardest objects to eliminate on the entire planet, or objects that cannot be eliminated at all.
"Alright, Boss."
After Agent Keller received the order, he gripped his pistol with both hands and walked to the console, operating it carefully.
And not far from him.
Eleven agents were either crawling, pressing against the wall, or poking their gun barrels out from the cabin.
They remained motionless, sealing the area behind the gate with their gun lines.
Guarding against containment objects that might have breached containment.
"... Identity information verification complete, verification passed."
"Welcome back, Level 3 Agent, Keller."
"Lockdown status has been canceled, opening the door for you, please enter the inspection area to undergo inspection."
With a heavy click, the lock cylinder retracted, and the door to the airlock chamber was slowly pulled open, and slightly dry, slightly cool air poured out from the site.
Interacting with the sweat all over the agents' bodies, it brought the latter a special kind of pleasure.
The moment the gate suddenly opened, an agent stepped lightly, holding an assault rifle, aiming the muzzle inside, and carefully walked out in an arc.
A moment later.
"Danger cleared."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
If a containment object had really breached containment, relying only on their twelve agents would still be a bit impossible.
Captain Luo Yi coughed twice, focusing everyone's attention, and then ordered:
"Alright everyone. We'll check the front desk office first, move to the right."
However, just as the search began, they found a big gift package in the front desk office.
Inside the office.
White light was cast from the ceiling, dispelling all shadows.
The Foundation's logo was posted on the wall.
The computer screen was off, but the power light of the computer host was still on.
In front of every desk sat a dehydrated corpse.
They were dressed brightly and neatly, with hair on their heads.
In contrast, however, they were covered in a thin layer of dust, their eye sockets sunken, lips cracked, and fingers shriveled, as if the moisture in their bodies had been drained alive.
Dead silence and terror permeated every corner, making one's hair stand on end.
Although the audience sympathized greatly with the victims, at this moment they only felt a sense of terror.
Perhaps because the external humidity was relatively pleasant, that family of four did not show huge changes after death.
Even Captain Juno was able to pull their eyelids.
But here, only the horrifying parts remained.
Except for funeral viewings, the vast majority of people had never seen corpses.
Especially these corpses that appeared in clusters, with abnormal death appearances, and full of non-human feelings.
"WDNMD, we're celebrating Ghost Festival today, I'm out first, don't let a ghost come to my door tonight."
"Slipped away, this thing isn't suitable for watching at night, I always feel the Foundation has prepared some big events waiting for us."
"Why is the dehydration situation of the Site-81 staff so severe, while the situation of the farmer's family is much better?"
"Normal, the Foundation must have an air circulation system and air purification system inside, which accelerated the evaporation of human body moisture."
On the Xianzhou "Luo Fu," Bai Lu sat on the railing, her two little feet swinging lightly, and the tail behind her butt kept wagging. ===== CHAPTER 441 =====
