In the picture.
As the content of the file ended, Leon Lake and his team had left the transport plane and arrived at a base that looked like a factory.
Everyone immediately connected this factory building with Outpost 54 mentioned earlier.
Inside the outpost, Dr. Kondraki is speaking.
"After SCP-1983's discovery, a team from Mobile Task Force Chi-13 was dispatched through the front doorway to investigate the anomaly. … They did not return."
After a pause, he continued, "Nevertheless, shortly after they entered, the front door appeared and closed. Or rather, it is closed to the door frame because the door does not appear in the wall."
Didn't the door appear in the wall?
What does this mean?
In the crowd,
Except for a few timid D-class personnel, the other agents and mobile task force members all remained silent.
Like solemn statues.
Dr. Kondraki's tone remained unchanged:
"Some time ago, a second strike team entered SCP-1983-1 to determine the fate of the first strike team. They didn't come back. The front door was not closed. Shortly afterward, agent Morris entered the doorway due to the appearance of new instances of SCP-1983-2. Shortly after that, the front door closed."
After that, he glanced at the people in front of him, and finally stopped at the D-class personnel, or rather, Leon Lake:
"Your mission is to enter SCP-1983-1 with a closed-circuit camera, check as many places as possible, and then try to return."
The words fell.
In the live broadcast room.
The audience, who were full of curiosity just now, were stunned.
It is not difficult to see from what Dr. Kondraki just said that the mortality rate of anyone who enters SCP-1983 is almost... 100%!
"What? Is he kidding?"
"Shit, does this doctor know what he said?"
"I thought they were going to attract SCP-1983-2, but they ended up going inside SCP-1983-1?"
"Damn it, last time he lured 682 with his bare hands, this time he sent people straight to hell! This doctor is the ultimate wolf destroyer!"
"Damn it, he is indeed an executioner."
The atmosphere inside SHIELD was somewhat strange.
After a long silence, an agent spoke indignantly:
"Are all researchers at the SCP Foundation so cold-blooded?"
Nick Fury glanced at him.
He said, "If an unknown danger appears right before your eyes, would you let an agent who has been trained at great cost take charge, or an unforgivable death row inmate take charge?"
"This..."
The agent stopped talking.
In fact, there are also some human experiments within SHIELD.
It is not an exaggeration to say that without human experiments, there would be no Super Serum and no Captain Steve!
Because of this, although he sympathizes with Leon Lake, he does not feel sorry for the other D-class personnel.
What really concerns Nick Fury is -
They didn't come back.
Just these six short words meant that the first team to enter had been wiped out.
But even so, the second team still went in.
For those D-class personnel, there may be no choice.
But what about other agents?
A sentence suddenly occurred to him.
The road ahead is long; what if I never come back?
...
And never come back!
In the picture.
As Dr. Kondraki finished his words, there was a commotion among the D-class personnel.
Perhaps because of the previous conversation, those people were desperate, but no one resisted anymore.
They accepted their fate.
Definitely, maybe they just act like this, who knows?
On the way to SCP-1983-1, the D-class personnel who had volunteered to join the containment mission like Leon Lake came to Leon Lake.
"Hey, brother, hello, you are the famous D-14134 in the base! I have admired you for a long time!"
The boy has an ordinary face, but his smile is very pure.
So pure that one wonders how someone like him could become a D-class personnel.
The boy was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Leon Lake to take care of him, let alone ask this question.
He opened his mouth, and the words came to his lips, but he swallowed them back.
Finally, he showed a complicated smile: "I will tell you when we get out of that damn place."
Hearing these words and looking at the boy's innocent smile, the audience in the live broadcast room all felt emotional.
The appearance of the boy also made them realize that perhaps not all D-class personnel were vicious criminals.
While talking,
The crowd had arrived at a fenced farm.
Looking at the old, dilapidated farm in the picture, everyone could not connect it with the gate to hell described in the archives.
However,
As a dark and strange shadow staggered out of the wooden house,
Countless people opened their eyes wide, as if they had seen a ghost.
A vaguely humanoid creature appeared in the picture.
Its entire body is pitch black, and its arms are long and slender like tentacles.
There was also an indescribable black mist lingering on the surface of the body.
A pair of scarlet eyes filled with madness and violence clung to that head that could not be described as a face.
Unexpectedly, before the people at the scene could react.
Bang!
With a burst of gunfire, the monster fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, it turned into a pool of sulfur emitting yellow smoke.
Dr. Kondraki glanced at it calmly, then looked away and explained:
"Silver-plated bullets are the bane of these guys."
Obviously, his explanation did not make the D-class personnel feel at ease.
There was visible fear on their faces.
The crazy scene of the monster with bared fangs and claws just now seemed to be still vivid in their mind.
And they...
Are about to enter these guys' lair.
