Chapter 10: The Last Hope
Black spikes came out of the ground and pierced the bodies of the team members, and scarlet blood flowed down the ground thorns.
They died in an instant, without any unnecessary struggle and pain, but because of this, the desire for life was aroused even more.
"SCP-RU-976, Keter-Class SCP, King of the Thorns!"
A large array of information flooded through his mind, each codename made him shiver, such an SCP was definitely not something that a small captain could handle.
Maybe it's only useful to send out the "Red Right Hand" or the "Last Hope" ace agent in the Foundation.
Of course, he'd heard that there were people from the College of Eden, and that they were a super combat unit that had splintered from the Last Hope service.
He gasped, and no one could maintain absolute composure in the face of a Keter-class SCP.
And at this moment, the Thorn King slowly leaned down and looked at the well-armed Mole Captain in front of him.
The captain had no choice but to close his eyes and pray silently in his heart, hoping that this SCP would not be too murderous.
"There it is!"
Suddenly, there was a sound outside the door, and dozens of bright lights shone brightly on the bodies of the Thorn King and the Mole Squad.
Heavily armed, they are the Foundation's elite agents, nicknamed the "Nine-Tailed Fox", and they are the Foundation's internal security personnel.
They are also supervised by the Foundation's most prestigious "Red Right Hand" agents, and it can be said that their immediate boss is the "Red Right Hand".
As for the "Red Right Hand", they are usually responsible for the safety of the most mysterious O5 councilors, and will only appear unless it is a particularly major incident.
"Nine-Tailed Fox Squad, fire and sweep the target, don't leave your hands behind!"
In the midst of their communications, a man's voice rang out, and these elite agents, armed to the teeth, immediately opened fire.
The flames of the muzzle erupted wildly, and the nine-tailed fox poured ammunition frantically.
The line of fire was flying, and the shelter seemed to be hit by a heavy rainstorm, and the gunfire was like thunder.
The Ground Thorn King's dagger-like fingers stabbed into Captain Mole's body, holding him in front of him and fleeing into the depths of the shelter.
"Target escapes!"
Captain Nine-Tailed replied in the newsletter that each of them was a well-trained agent, and that their configuration was much better than a "one-off team" like the Mole.
Jianghu people say, "Little Red Right Hand".
"Get back to safety, and let those people from the Academy of Eden come over, they're much better against these guys than you are. ”
The man said mercilessly in the newsletter that there was nothing disgusting about the members of the Nine-Tailed Fox Squad, after all, those people were all splinters from the "Last Hope" department of the T1 queue.
The members of the Nine-Tailed Fox quickly set up a protective belt around them, and if an SCP escapes, whether it is a humanoid or an alien, it will be hit by fire.
"SS-class mission?"
Lu Haitian was surprised in the communication, since the establishment of the academy, even the Keter-level SCP has not used the SS-level level.
"This is my new creation, use it temporarily, and wait until the academy officially puts forward the bill!"
Walter smiled at the other end of the communication, Lu Haitian shook his head, Lime sat up from the bed, twisted his eyes, "I'm going out again!"
"No, the O5 Council used us as gunmen when they came here, and they looked up to us too much!"
Lu Haitian put on a fur coat, and Lime was also dressed in a hurry, and Lu Haitian glanced at her.
"If you're too tired, just take a good rest, I should be able to figure it out on my own. ”
"No, I don't feel at ease if you go alone!"
Lime quickly put on her furry clothes and walked to Lu Haitian's side, Lu Haitian smiled and touched her head, "My good wife, it's really hard for you!"
"Don't pretend there, I didn't see you so gentle when I took a bath!" Lime snorted and glanced at Lu Haitian.
Lu Haitian smiled dumbly, a man can not be crazy at any time, but if he still cringes when he has sex, it is too much.
"Lu Dong, we are already waiting for you at the door!"
Walter urged the two to land on Haitian in the communication, and the two of them staggered downstairs, Walter and Turner, and the other two school trustees, Hipkin and Barton, waited.
"It's been a long time since we've been on a mission together, but it's really exciting!"
Lu Haitian rubbed his ruddy face, Lime followed him in white fur, and the five of them met.
"When was the last time we were on a mission, let me imagine... It seems that our three school trustees, the principal and the vice principal, have never carried out tasks together... So where did you get this for a long time?"
Barton thought for a moment, looked at Lu Haitian's smiling face and retorted.
Lu Haitian smiled speechlessly, his eyes wandered towards Turner, and Turner deliberately floated away as if he didn't see it.
"Alright gentlemen, that's the end of the pre-mission relaxation banter, we have to hurry up, just got the news, there are two Keter-class among these SCPs, and some Euclid and safe-class, don't take it lightly!"
"I guess the trickiest ones are those two Keter-class ones!"
Hipkin moved his wrist, the emperor of the fighting nation was not blown out, and he was also very interested in these things!
"One is SCP-RU-976, known as the King of the Thorns, and one is SCP-RU-075, supposedly a big one!"
Walter looked at the shelter in the distance, and he didn't know how big the Foundation was talking about.
However, as far as the Foundation is concerned, sometimes they say that the big is not necessarily just the volume, but also the area of influence.
If you don't have to say that it's big, there are some things in the SCP that involve cosmic star fields, which are already so big that humans can't understand them.
And some SCP effects are ubiquitous, like dream eaters, devouring people's dreams and waking people up from their dreams.
So it's hard to say.
The group of six passed through the defense line of the Nine-Tailed Fox Squad, and the Nine-Tailed Fox Team saluted them: "Salute to the dead!"
Lu Haitian's eyebrows are not spread, are these guys saying such things to congratulate them on their early death?
Can't you say something auspicious, such as "safe in and out"?
They just want to catch SCPs, and if they can't catch them, they will be executed, where is there so much reason.
In the midst of the snowstorm, a team of six headed for the shelter.
A blizzard is coming, and the snow on the ground is already very thick.
As soon as Lu Haitian stepped on it, his feet would sink into the snow and his movement would be restricted.
As they approached the warehouse, the bloody scene stopped everyone in their tracks, and the corpses of the Mole Squad lay on the ground.
Their bodies were pierced by the thorns, blood flowed profusely, and their intestines were exposed.
However, as supernatural beings, they naturally will not back down because of this bloody scene, after all, everyone here is nervous.
"I don't want to admit it, but that Keter-level Thorn King is really cruel, but it makes me want to meet this guy even more. Turner began.
"After all, these people are ordinary people, and they can't get any benefits when facing those guys, and some of them are even more troublesome!"
Shipkin said in a nasal voice peculiar to the Russians, and he went to the front, Walter waved his hand, and the rest followed.
Lu Haitian deliberately paid attention to the shelter of SCP-RU-166, but only saw a collapsed concrete block, and he didn't know what happened to the girl, Dr. A would be very worried.
At this moment, the ground trembled, and everyone realized the danger.
"Spread out!"
Walter shouted, and everyone but Hipkin ran to the side as fast as they could.
Hipkin snorted coldly and said silently.
"Indestructible!"
His whole body glowed yellow, and his body became larger, and his body was protected by light.
The ground spike stabbed from below and stabbed Shipkin's body, and Hipkin was unscathed, his chain of gods was able to withstand powerful attacks, the strongest defense of the known chain of gods.
The body of the Hip Gold Tiger shook, and the golden light on his body shook off and turned into countless points of light, and the surrounding ground was shattered into scum and spread on the ground.
After defending once, his chain of gods can also provide a melee burst attack, which is a very rare power, which is why he walks so unscrupulously.
"Tut-tut, having a powerful chain of gods is arrogant!" said Turner.
Walter spotted the anomaly in the darkness, and the corners of his mouth curled as he reached out somewhere in the darkness.
"Nian power!"
A dark figure was caught out of the darkness and fell heavily in front of Walter.
He was naked, with dagger-like nails, a mantle, and countless bloodshot eyes.
"You're SCP-RU-976!" Walter looked down at him with the aura of a superior being.
He bared his teeth and was very fierce, and waved one hand at Walter's neck, and if he was swung it, then his head would basically fly.
But Walter, as the headmaster, was naturally not so lightly defeated, and the hand of the Earth Thorn King was difficult to advance when he was close to Walter's side.
His hand seemed to be stuck in aerogel, and he couldn't get rid of it at all, he couldn't move, Walter snorted coldly, and the hand behind his back moved slightly, and the Stab King was knocked against the wall.
Walter casually lifted a stone with his telekinesis and threw it at the Thorn King, who screamed and bled all over.
His speed is very fast, but no matter how fast he is, he can't escape the drive of telekinesis, which can only be generated in an instant, and his body movements cannot be faster than telekinesis.
So the speed he was so proud of lost his advantage.
"Lu Dong!"
"Understood!"
Lu Haitian's fingers pointed towards the body of the Earth Thorn King, and the air suddenly became cold, and the ice flowers in the air condensed.
The limbs of the Thorn King were completely frozen, like a tiger without claws, and there was no other use than roaring.
"Isn't it easy? there's no room for me to strike!" Turner walked over and shook his head at the fierce appearance of the Assassin King.
"Nine-Tailed Fox Squad, we've successfully captured SCP-RU-976, let's recontain him!" Walter said in the communication.
"Nine-tailed fox received! Thank you for your sincere cooperation!"
The Captain of the Nine-Tailed Fox conveyed his gratitude to the group of several people in the communication, and they walked in from outside and captured the Earth Thorn King.
"There's still a big guy left, I don't know how big it can be!"
Turner suddenly felt that Keter-class SCPs were no big deal, just so, they could capture them at their fingertips.
As soon as the words fell, the ground trembled violently, and the nine-tailed fox team members fell to the ground, and even the Strangers stumbled and did not stand firmly.
"Come on!"
