Chapter 403: She Didn't Tell Me
What exactly SCP-762-1 is called, no one knows.
Even the name he was once named SCP-762-1 is no longer known. The Foundation may have wanted to use his properties to kill creatures that could not be destroyed. For example, an invulnerable dinosaur, if you really use guns to kill each other, the price you pay will definitely be not small.
However, if SCP-762-1 is present, as long as a drop of the dinosaur's blood is obtained, SCP-762-1 is allowed to drink it, and then SCP-762-1 is given a shot, and the dinosaur should be dead as well.
As such, SCP-762-1 should actually be classified as a very powerful weapon.
This characteristic dooms him to be unable to spend his life without pain, being killed, resurrected, and killed again, when a person's pain can be exchanged for the lives of countless people, then it is difficult for this person to be viewed with normal human rights.
In that case, it seems to make sense to retaliate against the Foundation after SCP-762-1 is released.
It's a hard problem to discern who's right and who's wrong, it's like a car without brakes, turning left will crush two people, turning right will crush three, no matter what you do, you will be abused by the other party, and the Foundation is the one holding the steering wheel.
The choice is painful, and the funny thing is that the people who are usually invulnerable are the ones who have not endured the pain.
SCP-762-1 is buried at the foot of the mountain, wrapped in a steel coffin, and perhaps a long, long time later, he will be found again and see the light of day again.
Or maybe never.
This is not a problem that Lu Yuan wants to think about, and it is even difficult for him to use the idea that [this fellow is just a person whose mind has been controlled by the ark, and what he does is not his own will] to make himself sympathetic.
As for why, he couldn't tell.
......
Lu Yuan was very tired, but he didn't leave No. 71.
The time he spent with No. 71 was very short, and it was estimated that it would only be two days in total, but he couldn't hate this hard-hearted woman.
Especially when I learned that this girl brutally seized her brother's hunter seat, she just wanted her brother to be an ordinary person again.
At noon, the sun was much hotter than usual, and the hunters were working in disarray under the mountain, where there was no vegetation...... The sudden attack of the dead body just now was more crazy than any previous one, especially the last wave, all the minced flesh seemed to be out of control, attacking everything around them without regard to everything, even each other.
All were injured...... Thankfully, after 5 minutes, the dead were quiet, and the hunters knew that 71 had succeeded, and she had found the pursuer and killed them.
......
"Look!" The youngest girl suddenly pointed into the distance, she was very good at tracking and concealment, so her eyes were also the best.
Everyone looked in that direction, and at the edge of their line of sight, a small black dot gradually became clear.
It couldn't be the enemy, because he didn't have anything to hide, he walked slowly, step by step, to this side.
That's their captain.
But gradually, everyone's eyes seemed to loosen a little, because they saw that their captain seemed to be attached to her back, and the one who was carrying her was the guy named Lu Yuan.
"What's wrong?"
"I think I'm hurt......
"Maybe she's tired, after all, she's just recovering from a serious injury."
Everyone said something, as if they were deliberately trying to lighten the atmosphere around them.
However, to no avail.
Lu Yuan's figure was getting closer and closer, and everyone saw No. 71's body lying weakly on the man's back, his hands drooping.
No one rushed to greet them, and no one hysterically showed sadness. Only hot wind and dust.
"It's not the worst possible outcome." The old man no longer looked at the figure that was getting closer and closer to him, and simply muttered.
"......" was silent.
They don't care about death, but they definitely don't like it.
After a few minutes, Lu Yuan finally came to the crowd, he tiredly put No. 71's limbs on the ground, and he was weakly paralyzed on the ground, in order to keep up with No. 71's speed, he almost used up all his strength.
"I'm sorry." Lu Yuan lowered his head and said.
"It's not your fault." The young girl responded, leaning down and touching the body of No. 71: "She has suffered a lot......
"yes, but the pain is certainly not over." The old man said: "We have to continue on our journey, the task is heavy, as for the captain, ours will bury her." ”
Lu Yuan knew that this was the habit of hunters, and after a teammate died, he would generally find a place with hard ground or not easy to find and bury his body, which was to prevent his teammate from becoming dead in the future...... And so that the hunters do not become dead is the greatest respect for them.
The burial process was simple, and the coffin was easy to make due to Lu Yuan's presence, and the hunters could easily find a suitable burial site.
In a narrow mountain with a small entrance, but a deep inside, the corpse of 71 was lowered, a place where it was impossible to climb up even if it had become a dead body, so that it would not be fused into other pieces of minced flesh and then turned into a weapon against his companions.
Everyone stood above the slit, watching the coffin slowly descend, no one spoke, but everyone tacitly tapped on their left chest.
It's some kind of tribute.
"Well, although the pursuers have been dealt with, we still can't stop." The old man brought back the emotions of the people around him.
"Yes, but don't forget, we're not completely safe yet." Maori said very impersonally at this juncture.
"What do you mean?"
Maori shrugged: "Isn't that obvious?" Although we got rid of the pursuers, the traitor has not yet been found, and if we rush on the road like this, it is difficult to say whether we will expose our whereabouts again and be chased by someone else. ”
Speaking of which......
"Actually, before No. 71 died, he should have known who the mole was." Lu Yuan took over the conversation and said.
"What !!" This sentence made the surrounding atmosphere tense all of a sudden: "Who is the mole?" ”
Lu Yuan shook his head: "But it's a pity...... She didn't tell me that by the time I arrived, she couldn't speak, and even her limbs were moving. ”
Everyone frowned, looked at Lu Yuan with strange eyes, and then looked at the others.
"Okay, there's no way around this kind of thing, but we still have to keep going, no matter what the situation, the mission is still the most important."
This sentence is naturally recognized by everyone, and the task is always the most important.
So, the group embarked on the road back to their hometown again.
However, no one noticed that Lu Yuan took out a piece of paper from his pocket at a gap where no one noticed him, stuffed it into his mouth, and chewed it...... Swallowed.
