Chapter 454

~6 min read 1,143 words

Agent Keller remembered this atmosphere—the mission was basically completed, and it was a relaxing time to return to Site-81 and rest for a few days.

The huge gap between reality and imagination made him dazed for a moment, but the quality of an agent made him recover quickly.

He organized his expression and asked about the others' gains during the operation while walking toward his captain.

"It took a little more time to organize the terminal data, sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Agent Keller said, taking out several iron boxes from his backpack—these were hard drives placed in protective boxes, very drop-resistant, and could prevent radiation to a certain extent.

He handed them to Captain Luo Yi and then looked at the teammates around him, "What did you gain?"

"Don't you basically know what happened in Site-81—the containment objects were wiped out, 682 is dead, Dr. Bright is also dead..."

Before Olman's words fell, Underwood's voice sounded abruptly:

"What? What? What? Dr. Bright and 682, these two headache-inducing guys, are both dead?"

"I have to remind you, it's fine to talk about 682 behind his back, but be careful when talking about Dr. Bright behind his back, he might stuff 'Immortality' into your hands while you sleep."

Captain Zhu Nuo reminded sinisterly.

Underwood lost his voice instantly, like a chicken whose throat had been grabbed.

The next second, Captain Luo Yi knocked on the wall behind him, "Dong dong dong," attracting everyone's attention.

Captain Luo Yi unfolded the drone's rotors, held them in his hand, and said to everyone:

"Alright, now is not the time to chat, let's send the data back first... and then continue to wait for the command's orders."

Captain Zhu Nuo nodded:

"I agree... this place is too uncomfortable, let's finish early and go home early."

Agent Keller felt like he was in an ice cellar at this moment.

The central air conditioning of Site-81 certainly kept the temperature in the site at around 24 degrees Celsius all year round, but more of it was the cold in his heart.

A kind of deception and betrayal of his teammates.

But he still spoke, as the one most proficient in electronic technology among the agents present.

"Zhu Nuo, do you need my help?"

The other party shook his head, supporting his waist with his left hand:

"No, this level of mission doesn't need an expert like you to show up, wait until later if there's any door in Site-81 that can't be opened."

Captain Luo Yi also shrugged, very relaxed:

"Alright, since everything is ready, let's send the things back to the command."

"Understood."

The agents said immediately, and then took the elevator together to return to the surface.

After completing the final check, the two drones slowly rose into the air and flew along the established route to the entrance of "Containment-2935."

The screens in front of the agents were displaying the real-time images sent back by the drones.

In the surrounding town, several forests and a few buildings were burning;

At the international airport in the distance, a large cloud of smoke rose upward, and below it was a crashed jet plane;

An apartment building in the west seemed to have collapsed, but most of the buildings were intact;

And the entrance to "Containment-2935" was still further away, on the other side of the mountain.

……

……

"Alright, return first, wait for further orders from the command."

Captain Luo Yi ordered.

Subsequently, the sixteen agents returned to Site-81 to take a short rest while waiting for new instructions.

Not long after, the command's order followed—go to Site-19 and conduct an investigation.

It's just that, except for Agent Keller, no one expected that this investigation mission would end here.

The agents were walking on the road to the elevator room.

"Click—"

A crisp sound, and suddenly an unsettling sound came from the road that had had no problems before.

Everyone was stunned.

"What's going on?!"

Zhu Nuo and Captain Luo Yi reacted at the same time, looking around vigilantly.

The next moment, an alarm sounded abruptly in the passage.

Extremely shrill.

"What happened?!"

Immediately after, they saw the heavy door slowly close, sealing the road.

Even as steady as Zhu Nuo and Luo Yi, their eyes were wide open at this time, pupils dilated, and they roared:

"Stop!"

"Stop!"

"Stop it, damn it!"

But no one paid attention to them, and no one would pay attention to them.

Amidst the heavy collision sound, the door closed.

Captain Zhu Nuo kicked the steel door, but the latter didn't move:

"This is fucking hell! Fuck! I was thinking about going home early!"

"What is that?"

Carl pointed to the long strip-like object on the ground not far away.

It looked like bamboo tube rice, and also like a mung bean paste flavored popsicle.

Agent Keller explained:

"That is the energy core that threw out the exhausted fuel rods. Lights out."

It seemed to be waiting for his command.

As his last sentence was spoken, the lights in the entire corridor went out instantly.

Pitch black, not a glimmer of light, nothing could be seen.

After a moment of darkness, more than a dozen beams of light appeared in the deep ink color, illuminating everyone's figures.

In the darkness, the light of the tactical flashlight was the source of everyone's peace of mind.

The two captains took turns counting, three times in a row, each time it was sixteen people.

No more, no less.

Only then did they feel relieved.

Captain Luo Yi looked back, touched his chin in anxiety, and pointed to a few people at random:

"You, you, you, and you, keep the lighting, everyone else turn off the flashlights."

As soon as the words fell, the light in the entire passage dimmed a lot.

It didn't have much impact, they could see the environment in the corridor clearly, and could distinguish the outlines of the mummies.

In the horror movie, the scene of the dead reviving did not play out.

The colleagues from the other world were still sleeping quietly, a group of babies who would never be woken up.

Captain Luo Yi found Keller in the darkness and patted the latter's shoulder, scaring him into a shiver.

"What is this situation?"

"This must have triggered the emergency breakthrough protocol."

Keller shook his head, telling everyone the worst result.

The agents were silent.

In fact, without Keller's statement, everyone knew the meaning of this sound was very bad.

Having worked at Site-81 for so long, this kind of alarm sound had never been heard once.

As for the "Emergency Breakthrough Protocol."

A term that every Foundation staff member knows clearly.

Once triggered, and no one answers or uses authority to turn it off within a short time.

There will only be one result.

Nuclear explosion! ===== CHAPTER 456 =====
