Chapter 567

~7 min read 1,255 words

As soon as they saw it, Tianya Yan and Lige Yan tightened their spirits simultaneously.

Lige Yan shouted loudly, "Friendly forces! Mobile Task Force!" while putting the target into the crosshairs, his finger resting on the trigger.

The other party still had no reaction.

"Stand where you are, put your hands where we can see them!" Tianya Yan warned.

But no matter how much the two agents raised their volume, the unidentified humanoid entity ignored the order and continued to move forward.

The two agents' alarm bells rang loudly.

The situation was wrong.

After a while, when it was closer, the two agents' faces changed in unison.

That was a monster.

Even though it was wearing a white lab coat and had a Foundation employee's name tag on its chest.

Its skin was uneven, like some kind of tree bark, and where the facial features should have been, they were replaced by several severely distorted holes; except for the similar outline, it was impossible to tell it was human.

Even Supreme Guardian Bronya was stunned after seeing the appearance of this monster.

When did such an ugly, such a hateful monster appear on Jarilo-VI?!

If in a few days, Belobog encountered a monster originating from the Foundation during land reclamation, that would really be a bitter situation with no way to speak.

Even the audience who were used to seeing various Foundation anomalies felt that compared to it, "The Old Man" could be considered human-looking.

"Fuck," Lige Yan cursed. "What is this?"

Tianya Yan assumed a shooting posture:

"Stand there and don't move, otherwise I'll shoot! Stop!"

But it still had no reaction, swaying left and right on its own like a zombie, moving along the corridor.

"Do you need support, Captain?" Blue Orchid Swallow asked on the first basement level.

Tianya Yan didn't reply, his voice stern:

"Kill it."

The trigger was pulled, the internal circuitry of the firearm connected, and the projectile was propelled by abundant electromagnetic force, shooting the warhead—which could easily tear through tanks and penetrate concrete—straight at the target.

"Hum!"

The humming of the Gauss rifle echoed in the hall of the mysterious building, spreading in all directions.

If this were a normal site, the alarm would definitely be blaring at this time, and the security personnel and Mobile Task Force stationed here would be urgently mobilized.

But it remained quiet here, as if no other living things existed.

Beams of bright blue light cut through the darkness, piercing the air like lightning, hitting accurately.

But the hell of it was, the other party showed no signs of being hurt at all.

There wasn't even a pause from being hit.

That was a fucking Gauss rifle!

Not a BB gun!

Watching the rapidly decreasing ammunition count on the digital screen, Lige Yan's face was anxious:

"Bullets aren't working! I don't—"

"Roar!"

As if awakened from a nightmare, the monster let out a piercing howl.

Then, its entire body flipped over, its head twisted 180 degrees, using its back as its stomach, crawling and flying frantically.

Tianya Yan and Lige Yan shot at its head, but the means were ineffective.

Its frantic limbs tore through the walls with peerless strength, and it pounced toward Lige Yan.

"Fuck! Get away from—"

Lige Yan was pounced to the ground, his Gauss rifle was knocked away, and the particle beam on his wrist had just been fired when it was twisted off along with his wrist.

An unknown part of the monster let out a piercing scream, and the hole that was originally the mouth suddenly opened, with ulcerated muscles radiating outward like petals.

And inside it, it wasn't flesh and blood, but teeth that were impossible to look at directly, arranged in five rows, spiraling outward.

The audience's hearts tightened in unison.

Immediately after, the screen went completely black, and only the anxious words of Feiyu Yan could be heard in the communicator:

"Captain! We'll be there soon!"

"My god—"

"Ugh!"

A huge sound of metal friction erupted, which could almost shatter a person's eardrums.

The signal was interrupted.

The lens in the image returned to the perspective of overlooking the planet from outside the sky.

It was just that, shrouded by the great fog, the white area was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The area shrouded by "SCP-C-2001" had its terrain restructured once again, and several containment wings that originally didn't exist emerged.

Listening to the screams of the agents, the audience couldn't help but be stunned.

Used to seeing Foundation personnel killing and suppressing anomalies with a flip of their hands.

The audience even forgot that the Foundation's field personnel were not only those masters comparable to Emanators, but also ordinary people as fragile as them.

And the Foundation's most important past was built bit by bit by these mortals with flesh, blood, and white bones.

After a long time, Jing Yuan sighed slowly:

"... Truly terrifying things; this kind of terrifying vitality, and this kind of distorted form, is several times more terrifying than 'Abundance Abominations'."

In the anxious waiting, Feiyu Yan's voice sounded again.

It was just that, listening to the voice, he sounded like he was crying.

"This is General Command, can you hear me?"

"What—Doctor?"

"Yes. We have been trying to contact you. What happened?"

"The captain is dead..." Feiyu Yan said with a sobbing tone; it was hard to imagine what the Foundation agent had encountered to show such a weak side.

"Fragments of internal organs are all over the floor. Song Swallow is not there, his gun is left on the spot... an hour ago, Blue Orchid Swallow was with me, now he's gone."

"Sorry? Blue Orchid Swallow—"

Dr. Bright was a bit confused.

"He was following me, I turned back, and he was gone."

Feiyu Yan spoke very fast, as if if he didn't say it quickly, some terrifying existence would find him.

"The building is changing, I can't find the way up."

"Stay where you are, Feiyu Yan, support is on the way, it will be there soon," Dr. Bright tried to soothe him as much as possible.

"Doctor?"

"I'm here."

"I'm really scared, don't leave me, sorry, it's too dark—"

"You are not alone. I am here, okay? I am here."

Dr. Bright's tone was gentle, trying to use words to give this agent hope to live on.

The situation of "SCP-C-2001" was getting worse and worse; not only was the range of the great fog expanding unprecedentedly, but "Reality Restructuring" also began to proceed without any pattern.

In the face of "Reality Restructuring," human technology was so fragile; even the most advanced starship could be turned into a pile of Lego toys or a pile of chocolate candies in an instant.

And... the pile of figures related to "five" on the wall gave Dr. Bright some bad associations.

This might involve supreme divinity.

Feiyu Yan was lying in this dust that was as soft as a lawn; his headlamp had already shattered, and without the infrared and ultraviolet vision of his tactical goggles, he had no way of knowing what was around him.

But now, he had taken off his mask, revealing his blood-oozing mouth, and inhaled the turbid air.

He had a look of relief:

"Time here is so long... I can see them—my colleagues, or family... everyone is waving at me."

"At first I thought it was the joy of reunion, now I know, it's the farewell before leaving."

"Feiyu Yan!!!" **CHAPTER 569**
