21. For who we were
"You're very nice to this girl."
Wang Yao replaced it with a new backpack, turned around and returned to 434, and waved his hand without turning his head, leaving everyone with a back, and his figure disappeared before he entered the door.
After Wang Yao left, the special service team in the containment room looked at each other. Take off the helmets one after another.
This is a group of middle-aged people with an average age of over forty. The years have left deep marks on their faces.
As a member of the third expedition, he was assigned to take charge of security due to the development of antibodies to bacteria in SCP-434.
"It's a lot better than we did, and he's got a guy back." A tall middle-aged man snorted.
A middle-aged woman beside him, who could vaguely see the beauty of his past, replied, "After all, he is a handsome young man." β
"Come back first, guys." Dr. Li in the observation room clapped his hands. "I have a headache, how to tell the 03 committee."
Not many people know about it, and there are some people who are there and who are concerned about it. For example, Lin Zhan.
No one knows what happened to the fourth expedition. I only knew that the team leader Lin Zhan came back alone with a serious injury, and his spirit was on the verge of collapse. There is no video recording of what happened. Or rather, there is, but none of them are brought out.
After more than ten years, it seems that everything has passed.
"You've decided?" He Ying leaned against the door, crossed her shoulders and looked into the office.
Lin Zhan, the second-in-command of the C7 district, is rearing up equipment. He changed into a brown expedition suit.
There was no response, He Ying said to herself: "You can report to the 03 committee group and let them arrange support." β
"There are some things that only I know and only I do."
He Ying chuckled and shook her head: "They won't let you in." β

The bullet was loaded, and Lin Zhan pushed the pistol into his waist.
"If you can threaten Wang Yao, you won't be of much help when you go in." He Ying was trying to make a final dissuasion.
"I'm not putting old bones yet."
Lin Zhan has made up his mind. He Ying didn't say anything anymore and sighed lightly. "I haven't seen you break the rules even when you have them."
"Now there is."
"Is it for Wang Yao's little guy?"
Lin Zhan carried his backpack on his shoulders and his thick-soled leather boots on the ground. He looked at He Ying and spoke in a deep voice.
"It's for who I used to be, teammate."

Zone C2 - Ground base
Ostensibly, it is an air base built on the prairie. Surrounded by a layer of electric barbed wire. Inside, the runway, the hangar, the helipad have everything.
The blue sky and white clouds, and the warm breeze make this base a little less strict and a little more humane.
It is surrounded by a military restricted area, and apart from some herders who are curious to look far away or get close to within 100 meters, few others will strayed into it.
There is an asphalt road at the entrance to the ground base, which connects to the nearest highway. Except for trucks carrying supplies, there are very few vehicles on this road. At this time, an uninvited guest came on this road.
"Please stop the car, this is a military restricted area!" The soldiers stationed at the entrance spotted an off-road vehicle approaching from a distance. The license plate number is unfamiliar to them.
The buggy was parked in front of the door. The window opened, and a document was handed out.
The soldier stepped forward with a gun on his back to take the documents, carefully looked at the photos of the documents and the people in the car, saluted, and handed the documents back: "Sorry chief, please come in!" β
The barbed wire gate was pulled open horizontally, and the off-road vehicle was activated and entered the base.

434 Containment Chamber-Observation Room
A researcher whispers in Dr. Lee's ear. The latter looked surprised: "Why is he here?" β
Before he could react, a voice cut in: "Doctor." Long time no see. β
Dr. Lee turned around and saw the straight figure of a soldier in the doorway. He was followed by two guards.
The guard was apologetic: "Sorry doctor, we can't stop us." β
"He's the same level as me, it's normal that you can't stop it, step down."
The guards left, and the researchers in the observation room also left temporarily.
Dr. Lee sighed with nostalgia: "Yes. Sixteen years gone. I'm sorry, but when I'm older, I always like to reminisce about the past. Are you here to see Wang Yao? Unfortunately, he had already gone in again. β
Dr. Lee knew what he was coming for.
"I'm here to enter 434."
Dr. Li was stunned, he didn't expect Lin Zhan to be so direct. He shook his head and said resolutely: "There is no instruction from the 03 committee group. No one is allowed to enter. β
"You can't stop me." Lin Zhan's figure stood still.
Dr. Li, who is close to 60 years old, was stunned, and he couldn't laugh or cry. Of course, he wouldn't believe that Lin Zhan dared to make a move, but his tone was resolute, obviously not something that could be forced to retreat by just a few words or even moving out of the 03 committee group.
"Maybe I shouldn't let those scientists out?" Dr. Lee asked rhetorically.
"Probably." Lin Zhan walked straight to the door of the isolation room leading to the containment room. As a member of the Fourth Quest, he was well aware of some of the control processes. At the same time, because he had entered once, he did not need to disinfect it, and went straight through the isolation chamber and into the containment chamber.
Dr. Lee was a little resistant, and he opened his mouth but couldn't say anything.
"Is it worth it?" An unfamiliar voice came over the loudspeaker. Lin Zhan froze and turned around. I saw a figure behind Dr. Li walking forward.
"Once you're in, all the hard work you've done so far will be in vain."
"03......" Lin Zhan's mood fluctuated, and then he calmed down, his eyes returned to calm and firm, and he suddenly saluted the observation room and shouted loudly.
"Report Chief! I can't put it down! β
Voices echoed through the enclosed containment chamber for a long time. Lin Zhan's body was straight, just like the military salute he gave when he saw the chief sixteen years ago, and shouted to report to the chief, I will definitely bring them all back.
Dr. Lee's eyes suddenly became a little sour, and he turned his head away from looking at the scene.
His gaze remained firm and he met the head of the observation room, without dodging.
For several minutes, 03 rubbed his eyes.
"I'm old, and I'm a little old-eyed. Wang Yao, what are you still doing here, if you don't go in, we will cancel the fifth exploration.
Lin Zhan's body trembled, lowered his arms, and entered Gate 434 without looking back.
"You shouldn't have let him in." After he left, Dr. Lee let out a long sigh. Maybe it's the old man's mind, and there is always a voice telling him that this is the last time they will see each other.
"If he doesn't solve the knot, he won't give up. Wang Yao is just an introduction. When we old guys restarted 434, we knew that Lin Zhan would definitely come, but we had no choice. There are many who can improve Wang Yao's strength, but Zhizi is staring at us, most of them can't be activated, and we don't have time. β
"Lin Station may have combat capabilities, but after all, he is an ordinary person. He's going to die inside. β
"Who knows. Maybe he died with those teammates 16 years ago. 03 let out a sigh of emotion. (To be continued......)
