Early morning. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The sea is magnificent, the wind is beautiful, and the sea is as calm as a huge blue gem.

Standing above the deck of the cruise ship, a trace of salty sea breeze blew on Zhang Heng's face, with a touch of coolness.

However, at this time, Zhang Heng was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful weather, he raised his head slightly and stared at the east slightly. I saw that at the edge of the sky under the rising sun, a trace of blood-colored fiery clouds appeared in the sky, and at the end of the fiery clouds, there was a silk thread as black as ink, with a faint ominousness.

"The weather at sea always changes." Zhang Heng spoke lightly and turned his head to look at the two field agents, "Mr. Joy, how long will it take for us to arrive at the base?" ”

"It's going to be soon, an hour at most." The man known as Joey was a blonde and blue-eyed young man who looked sunny and handsome, and belonged to a typical European appearance, if he didn't know the identity of the other party, it would be difficult for Zhang Heng to equate this man with an SCP field agent comparable to an ace special forces.

"But, as far as I can see, we'll have a storm in half an hour at the most." Zhang Heng shrugged, took a glass of champagne from the tray of the waiter beside him, and motioned to the two, "I've been in trouble for the two of you these days." ”

"It's just work." Joey shrugged his shoulders and replied to Zhang Heng with a wine, "We don't have much knowledge, so we can't be researchers, if Mr. Stephen becomes a senior researcher in the future, don't forget to give the two of us a hand." ”

"Each other, each other." Zhang Heng smiled, who said that foreigners do not have such a human relationship as Chinese, and the communication skills of this Joey in front of him are not inferior to any Chinese in Zhang Heng's opinion.

After chatting with the two of them, there were more and more people on the deck at this time, and many of them looked at the dark clouds in the distance. At this time, the black line has occupied half of the sky, and as a whole, half of the sky has become a pitch-black scene, and from time to time there are thousands of thunderbolts colliding fiercely in the black clouds, compared to the location of their cruise ships, it is like two opposing worlds.

"Boom Rumble......

A thunderclap faintly came, and the uneasiness in Zhang Heng's heart became even stronger, and many people walked back to the deck, and in the end, only Zhang Heng was still standing at the bow of the boat, staring at the black clouds that were already close at hand, and the wind was hunting.

"Mr. Stephen ......" Behind him, Joey asked tentatively, and Zhang Heng suddenly waved his hand, "It's okay, I like the wind very much, it gives me a feeling of soaring in the sky." ”

The two immediately glanced at each other, and finally had no choice but to return to the cabin and give up the entire deck to Zhang Heng.

Gradually, the black clouds have been completely shrouded in the sky above the cruise ship, the sea water is no longer calm, but has become undulating, a wave up to several meters high on the hull, this 100-meter-long cruise ship suddenly roared and trembled, with the waves continue to rise and fall, at this time, it is not much different from a small can version, under the power of nature, incomparably small, may capsize at any time!

But fortunately, at this time, Zhang Heng had already seen the island not far away, and the visibility was not high in the storm, but now that he saw the island, it means that they are only two or three kilometers away from the island at most, and the cruise ship only took ten minutes to successfully arrive at the port of the base.

Zhang Heng's whole body was almost soaked, but at this time, he found that for some reason, this island, which was originally quite familiar, had a faint trace of unsettling atmosphere.

On the island, there seems to be some quietness.

The island itself is just a small isolated island about 500 meters long and 300 meters wide, there are only a few palm trees on the island, and a 100-meter-long sandy beach.

Unaware of the other passengers on the ship, they complained about the weather, shielding themselves from the rainstorm with their bags and umbrellas, and quickly reached a metal disc in the center of the island, where a fifty-year-old researcher flicked a string of numbers and opened to reveal a dark passageway.

"Is there no one on duty today?"

"What's the matter, where's the security guard?"

A trace of doubt flashed in people's hearts, but they didn't think much about it, after all, the base on this island can be said to be the top site facility in the world, and since the day it was built, there has not been a serious containment breach.

However, there are some people who also sense that something is wrong, but in this kind of ghost weather, even if they feel wrong, they have to bite the bullet and enter, as for returning to the cruise ship? That is impossible, and the cruise ship will not allow these people to return, because returning without the permission of the superintendent would result in execution for treason.

A group of people bustled into the gate of the base, and suddenly the gate closed in response, and was completely locked from the outside, and the gate would never be opened without the order of the Level 4 security clearance personnel.

"What's the matter, there's no one here?" There was a grumbling from the crowd, and at the top of the hall was a row of elevators at the end of the hall, through which they would enter the ground thousands of meters deep, where the official base was located, and now it was at most an outpost.

"Maybe everybody went to the base party." One of the young men shrugged his shoulders, but everyone ignored his words completely, after all, unless the Level 4 Site Director who managed the base wanted to be executed by the O5 Council, it was impossible for the base to make such a major mistake in terms of security.

Generally speaking, the foundation itself has two sets of grading systems, one of which is like the five levels A, B, C, D, and E that Zhang Heng understands, and in addition, there is also a confidentiality level, which is divided into 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.

Level 0 personnel are restricted to public information, and Level 0 security clearance is granted to non-core personnel who do not need to be aware of Foundation projects, such as those in logistics and cleaning positions.

Level 1 security clearance is granted to personnel who work relatively close to the containment object, but do not have direct contact with them. For example, those in clerical, logistical, or cleaning positions in facilities that have containment capabilities or must handle sensitive information.

Level 2 security clearance is granted to security guards and researchers who need direct access to the containment object, and most researchers and field agents have Level 2 security clearance, such as the current Zhang Heng is Level 2.

Level 3 security clearance is granted to senior security guards and researchers who need deep contact with containment projects, recovery, and long-term plans, with the majority of senior researchers, project directors, security officers, response team members, and Mobile Task Force operatives holding Level 3 security clearance, such as Professor David and Professor Anderson in front of him.

Level 4 security clearance is granted to senior management personnel who need access to Foundation operations and research programs. Level 4 security clearance is usually held by the Site Director, Security Director, or Mobile Task Force Commander, who is typically the number one management officer at a containment project base.

In the final 5th level, only thirteen members of the O5 Council have this highest level of privilege, having free access to all strategic data and other sensitive data, and after deliberation, they can decide on any Foundation projects and experiments, just like the British Parliament, with supreme power.

It's just that at this time, everyone also noticed that something was wrong with the situation, and stood in the center of the hall one by one, not daring to walk in the direction of the elevator.

"Don't panic, everyone, I'll contact Your Excellency Director Max." In the crowd, the only one with level 3 clearance, the old man who opened the gate of the base before walked out of the crowd, and at this time, because he was the highest in the county, he automatically took on the role of pacifying everyone.

Everyone immediately fell silent and all looked at the old man. This old man Zhang Heng still knew him, the other party's name was Anderson, and like Professor David, he was one of the few senior researchers in the Foundation, and at this time, I saw him take out a contact device like a mobile phone from his arms.

Of course, in the base, it is not possible to use mobile phones to communicate, not to mention that you are not allowed to bring in any electronic devices before entering the base, even if you use means to bring your mobile phone into it, you will find that the mobile phone has no contact signal at all, and the thousands of meters deep underground is not vegetarian, enough to resist the world's most advanced communication tools, and only the contact device issued by the Foundation itself can be used.

"Hello, this is Level 3 Security Clearance Officer Anderson, we are now in the entrance hall of the base, what is happening inside the base, why don't we see the security personnel?" Anderson tried to keep his tone as calm as possible, not as if he was questioning, but there was only a rustling sound in the communicator, as if some kind of signal interference.

Anderson frowned, fiddling around with the communicator, cranking up the volume in an attempt to make it easier for the communicator to receive the signal, and then repeated the previous words again.

But at this moment, the rustling sound suddenly disappeared......

"Hello? Hello, may I ask ......" Anderson frowned, and was about to say something more, but suddenly, there was a strange roar in the communicator!

What kind of sound was that, as if countless people were screaming and moaning, suffering inhuman torture like hell, full of malice and resentment, after hearing this voice, Professor Anderson actually shook his whole body, and the contact device in his hand couldn't be grasped directly, and fell to the ground with a bang!

This strange roar and miserable howl made everyone stunned, as if they thought of something, and all the faces of everyone present changed, as if they had encountered something terrifying, everyone retreated in unison, and in the blink of an eye, a vacuum was formed in the crowd, and in the center of the circle, only Anderson and the liaison at his feet remained!

The strange roar continued, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but the voice in the communicator was getting louder and louder, as if something was about to burst out of the communicator! The faces of the people turned pale, and the timid ones even trembled their legs and completely collapsed to the ground!

Stomp ......

But at this moment, a pair of feet wearing white sneakers appeared in the eyes of everyone, and the owner of the feet walked to the liaison, bent down slightly, picked up the communicator without hurry, and pressed the close button at the same time, and suddenly, the voice finally disappeared.

"Guys, looks like we're in trouble." Zhang Heng played with the liaison in his hand and said with a flat expression, but his eyes were already serious.

"It's a meme......" Professor Anderson's face turned pale, the muscles on his face twitching unnaturally from being too frightened, "Meme, curse memes have leaked, and we're all going to die!" ”

When everyone heard this, their expressions changed greatly!

"Smack!"

However, just before the crowd was about to erupt, Zhang Heng suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped Anderson in front of him, in the empty corridor, the sound was extremely harsh, and suddenly, Anderson and all Foundation personnel were stunned.

"Your mood swings are too great." Zhang Heng looked coldly at the stunned old man in front of him, and said sharply, "Now is not the time to spread panic, besides, whether it is a curse meme leak or not, do you want to be executed by spreading panic like this, Professor Anderson?" ”
