Chapter 856: The ultimate rescue (5)

It was not convenient to walk around with a paper cup, so after Feng bujue left the breakroom, he ran straight for the stairs.
Brother Jue did not find SCP-173 behind the electronic door, but there were a few more bodies in the stairwell behind the door …
“OHO!” Then, as if he was summoning a pet, Feng bujue shouted at the door and blinked.
The next second, the huge body of the SCP-173 really did appear before brother Jue.
“Haha … That’s great, I was worried that you went to another floor.” Feng bujue said in a relaxed tone as he took half a step forward and splashed the liquid on number 173.!!
He patiently waited for a full thirty seconds, but nothing happened.
There was no light effect, sound effect, or smell. 173 itself did not move.
If it were someone else, they might have panicked and doubted the effectiveness of the liquid. But Feng bujue would not do that. He believed that … Even if there was no chemical reaction, the effect of the liquid was undeniable.
As a result, he did something very, very bold. He blinked his eyes.
He stood right in front of SCP-173, just a stone’s throw away … And blinked.
In the end … He was really fine.
At this moment, it was as if the SCP-173 had become a true sculpture. It was not moving at all, and it could be considered to be worthy of its name (173’s name was The Sculpture).
“Phew … Done.” After eliminating this threat, Feng bujue sighed in relief, but he was not completely at ease because he could not be sure if the effect of the liquid was permanent or temporary.”Then … While you can not teleport around, let me complete the main quest without any trouble.”
Feng bujue said as he walked around room 173 and went down the stairs.
Although he could return to B2 to investigate or utilize other SCPs, he did not do so. Feng bujue, who had plenty of experience in nightmare scenarios, knew that in this mode, it was best to advance the main storyline if possible …
Wuwuwuwu
Feng bujue used the level 3 access card to swipe the card beside the electronic door on floor B3. In the end … The machine replied with a voice message,”[You do not have the authority to enter this area.]
“Level 3’s members can’t enter?” Feng bujue thought to himself, what is going on at this level … Something flashed through his mind. Could it be … There is a ITER-level project inside?
Keter (crown in Hebrew, top Elementium in Jewish mysticism) level: A program-level “ITER” project not only showed a strong and positive hostility to human life, civilization, and/or the four-dimensional space, but it also had the ability to cause major damage in the event of containment failure. Such projects must be categorised, contained according to special containment measures, and destroyed if possible.
Most of the Keter-level projects had no perception, and most of them were still objects. SCPs that were only hostile to humans would not be classified as Keter-class. A ITER-level project not only had the ability to destroy human life and civilization, but in order to stop it from doing so … The containment agreement for it had to be huge, complicated, and precise.
The research on how to destroy the ITER project had always been the priority of the SCP Foundation. However, under the supervision of the Golden Foundation, very few of the ITER-level projects were destroyed by the Golden Foundation’s staff. There were three main reasons: First, some of the projects were destroyed and difficult to implement due to their invulnerability or similar situations. Second, some projects had been retained because of their significant tactical value to the Golden Foundation. Third, if some of the projects were destroyed, it might cause greater harm to mankind, so they were permanently taken in.
“That’s not right … Generally speaking … Would they put the ITER project and the Anomalous project on the same level?” Feng bujue then thought,”if the project is affected by the nearby ITER project, the consequences will be unimaginable …”
As he thought of this, he had a flash of inspiration, could it be …
Yes, the answer was obvious. Obviously … Even though the anatomalous project that Feng bujue was going to acquire had not been graded, it was already considered a Keter-level item by the Golden Foundation. That was why … It had been kept in such a high clearance level.
“Hmph … Interesting.” Feng bujue’s interest was piqued.”What exactly do you want me to bring out of the base?”
…………
At the same time, in the command center on the ninth underground floor.
It was located at the bottom of the facility and had a higher security level than the emergency shelter on the eighth floor.
Everything in the base, including the security and surveillance Department on the seventh underground floor, was under the supervision of this floor.
The Golden Foundation’s huge, black, circular LOGO was printed on the wall,and below it was written the SCP Foundation’s motto: “To be Secure,””contan,” and “protect.”
“It has been confirmed that the initial power outage was caused by the failure of the containment of SCP-106. The guy seems to have woken up from the ‘false dormancy’. When he killed the security personnel, he happened to pollute the power room.”
At this time, an agent in a black suit was reporting the situation to another man in a suit who was dressed similarly.
“Did the Nine-Tailed Fox team receive the news?” The officer’s eyes were fixed on several surveillance screens at the same time, and he replied without looking back.
“Yes, they’re already on their way. They’ll be here in 20 minutes.” The agent replied.
“It’s too slow,” The officer continued,”what do they think they do? A firefighter? Do you want to be blown up? Get them in position within 15 minutes!”
“Yes, sir.” “Yes, sir,” the agent replied and was about to turn around to make the communication. However, he seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said,”by the way … Sir.” He paused for half a second.”On the B2 floor … There’s a D-class personnel’s actions that are a little concerning.”
“What did he do?” The senior officer asked quickly.
“He … Went to use SCP-294.” The agent replied.
“Do you have to report to me that a class D member went to the lounge for a cup of coffee?” The officer replied impatiently.
“Uh … In fact … Sir … He …” The agent stammered.
“What’s wrong with him?” The senior officer replied,”did you order some strange drink and then drink it to mutate?”
“I think he used a drink to subdue scpnovel 173 …”
“What?” The officer turned around with his eyes wide open.
“According to the feedback from the security personnel watching the surveillance video …” The agent continued,”this Class D personnel used SCP294 a total of three times … The first time, the machine did not inject any liquid; The second time, the machine injected an unknown liquid, and he used this liquid to stop 173’s operation. As for the third time … The machine also injected some liquid and he drank it. It’s just that the effect of the third drink is unknown. ”
“Hmm …” The officer was silent for a few seconds.”Where is this person now?”
“He …” The agent hesitated for half a second before replying,”he seems to be planning to enter B3 …”
“What?” The senior officer was shocked.
“Also … He has already obtained access cards and weapons from some of the corpses.” The agent continued,”however, the access cards that he could find did not seem to be enough, so he ran to B1 and is searching the bodies on that floor …”
“Get someone to bring him back immediately.” The senior officer gave the order,”if you resist … Kill without mercy.”
“Sir …” The agent thought for a moment.”The drink he drank …”
“Eliminating the threat is our top priority. If conditions allow, after this situation is over, we can retrieve his body and dissect it.” The senior officer replied.
“I understand.” The agent nodded and left.
The officer quickly turned his head and looked at a staff member on the far right.””Mark, switch B1″ s image to the main screen. ”
…………
Underground level, in front of a containment facility.
“Ha … I found something interesting.” Feng bujue looked at the SCP 738 printed on the door and revealed a meaningful smile.
“Project number: SCP 738
[Project level: ITER]
[Special containment measures: SCP-738 should be stored in a storage room that is constantly guarded by armed guards, remotely controlled explosives, and audio/video surveillance. Based on the changes observed from communicating with SCP 738, strength, and unknown limits, the following procedures must be strictly adhered to
First, when SCP-738 is idle, each of its components must be placed separately. The assembly or disassembly of the SCP-738 must be completed with the built-in machinery in the safekeeping area. If the mechanical assembly system failed, the test had to be canceled until an engineer wearing an explosive collar was sent to repair the mechanical system. If the engineer attempts to communicate with any part of the SCP-738, the collar will be detonated.
Second, if the remote mechanical assembly failed, the pre-installed cone bomb would dismantle the SCP-738, and an engineer wearing an explosive collar would be sent to repair and reset the system.
“Third, all Class D personnel used for the test must be mentally retarded or slow-witted, and must wear explosive collars. This was to prevent them from knowing too much about SCP738 and using it to cause harm to the Golden Foundation. Only D-class personnel with an IQ of less than 60 could enter the room where scpnovel 738 was. [D-class personnel can only enter the room for experimental purposes and must be continuously guided by the experimenter.]
From the containment measures, it could be seen that this thing was extremely dangerous … Of course, 99% of Keter-grade items were like this …
Generally speaking … Most of the ITER-level projects were causality-type weapons that threatened and were hostile to humans. This SCP prototype 738 was no exception.
The ‘description’ of the item was not written down in detail because … Feng bujue would be using it soon. (To be continued.)
