Chapter 451

Even if he knows all this, what can he do?

They have no way to clear it.

If they don't intend to destroy the original world, the only action they can take is to stay here forever.

Should he tell the others the truth?

What should he do now?

What can he do now?

Agent Keller threw his tactical helmet aside, stuck his hands into his hair, and gripped tightly.

……

Meanwhile.

Site-81, on the road to the "Undying Scaly Lizard."

Olman glanced at Captain Luo Yi, who seemed to have something on his mind:

"They moved that lizard in here, but didn't tell the site staff?"

"Only necessary personnel know." Captain Luo Yi didn't stop his pace, his tone as calm as ever, though his breathing was slightly rapid.

After thinking about it, he realized this wasn't persuasive enough, so he added, "Other employees would get nervous."

"Why?"

Can you stop asking?!

I'm looking for a reason too!

I'm just a small team leader following orders from the big shots of the Foundation!

Captain Luo Yi frowned slightly and didn't answer the other person.

But then he thought, this was just the agents using chat to vent the pressure in their hearts, so he didn't say much more.

"To paraphrase Occam's Razor—if not necessary, don't increase the number of people who know." Another agent took over the conversation.

Captain Luo Yi interrupted casually to prevent the topic from continuing endlessly: "Quiet."

Then, he stopped, looked at the surrounding environment and the room layout, and said with certainty:

"It might be just around the corner."

Subsequently, he locked onto a containment cell:

"—There."

Outside the containment cell door, there was no nameplate to indicate that what was contained inside was—Old Man 682.

However, the green indicator light was on, indicating that the containment unit was still operating normally.

"Keller, open the door."

"Hey boss, wait." An agent hesitated, seemingly very unwilling to face the notorious Old Man 682.

So much so that he didn't even want to confirm whether Old Man 682 was dead or alive.

"If we open the door and it's still... you know. If it's still the same, then wouldn't it—"

"We'll be fucked, I know."

Captain Luo Yi nodded solemnly, indicating that he had fully considered this matter.

Then, he repeated the order:

"Alright, open the door."

Keller said "Mm," and then opened the security door.

"Clang—"

After a loud noise, the agents entered the containment unit.

Inside the room was a giant steel containment box, with a container of acid suspended above it.

There were various other containment instruments in the room.

"How is it?"

Olman stared at the "Undying Scaly Lizard" and answered casually:

"Dead. See for yourself—"

The "Undying Scaly Lizard" lay on the ground motionless, with large areas of corrosion on its body, showing no signs of recovery at all.

Its upper and lower jaws were weakly separated, its tongue was limp on the ground, all its multiple eyes were closed, and its limbs and tail were limp.

No signs of life at all.

Hard to imagine.

It would actually die.

Looking at the "Undying Scaly Lizard" in front of them that was motionless, neither cursing nor trying to eat people, and not even intending to fuck them into the ground.

The agents widened their eyes one after another.

"Impossible! Damn it, this is impossible! How could this happen!"

"This is fucking hell!"

"I'd rather get fucked myself than see this damn lizard die!"

While his teammates were struggling to accept it, an agent stepped forward, stepped on the "Undying Scaly Lizard," and shook it.

……No response.

"That's right. It's dead."

The agents couldn't say another word.

There must be something wrong with this world that could cause all the containment objects in the entire site to die.

Captain Luo Yi took a deep breath.

As the team leader, his authority within the Foundation was naturally the highest among the agents present.

Therefore, he was confident that he was the one who knew the "Undying Scaly Lizard" best among them.

Before today, he had never imagined he would see the "Undying Scaly Lizard" dead.

—The Foundation's high command had formulated hundreds of execution plans, trying to use various containment objects to kill the "Undying Scaly Lizard."

But they all failed.

This terrifying creature resisted physical damage, reality warping, conceptual erasure, etc., and evolved corresponding powers to counter them.

But now...

Captain Luo Yi tried hard to remain calm, not letting his subordinates see his wavering.

"You know, everyone, I suddenly feel like this place is weird too. We're going back to the surface."

"Do you want me to collect some samples?"

"... That can wait." Luo Yi shook his head and sighed softly with a helpless expression.

This was naturally the Foundation's first opportunity to collect samples of a dead "Undying Scaly Lizard."

But the situation here was too terrible, and the world of death was so full of mysteries.

And even worse, the "Undying Scaly Lizard," known as "immortal and indestructible," had actually died in the containment cell without even cursing.

If the deaths of others and other containment objects still allowed Captain Luo Yi to hold onto a glimmer of hope.

Then the death of the "Undying Scaly Lizard" made Captain Luo Yi feel for the first time that the situation was far beyond his imagination.

But as for what to do, he had no clue, nor the energy to think about it.

Let the big shots of the Foundation worry about those things.

The agents quickly entered the elevator and returned under the clear blue sky, only, there were faint rumbles of thunder in the distance.

……

Hanging up the communication, Agent Keller rested his hands on the terminal, bloodshot eyes bulging.

"They're all dead! Everyone is dead! How do you still not understand?"

"We are not on some bullshit recovery mission! We are not here to save people! There is no one to save!"

"Our evidence shows everyone, no, everyone, everyone is dead—everyone, everything..."

"100% of Foundation sites report identical transmitter failures, 100% of Foundation sites have entered lockdown."

"Not just here, the whole world. They couldn't have gone to some bunker, no—because that's everyone!"

"But this isn't our reality, it's someone else's. Ours... is fine. Nothing happened to ours."

In the midst of painful thinking, new thoughts emerged in Agent Keller's heart.

"Actually, I knew the answer a long time ago... I just subconsciously ignored it."

Saying this, he hacked into another console, pulled up the system of the entire site, and a detailed schematic of the Site-81 building structure. ===== CHAPTER 453 =====
