Next, Dr. Roland showed everyone the status of Site 7.
It was an image taken and sent back by a drone about twenty hours ago.
That video was very similar to the trailer Ji Thrush and the others saw in "Peach Blossom Spring", only longer and more trivial.
Everyone saw that almost all the buildings at Site 7 were covered by a layer of gray-green unknown shell.
The drone entered the site and hovered at low altitude for about ten minutes. After taking a clear picture of the hexagonal honeycomb structure of the shell, it selected another building and flew in through the gap in the window.
Probably because the doors and windows were covered with gray gel, even in broad daylight, the lighting in the house was very dim.
Considering the clarity of the photography, the drone can only take the risk of turning on a light source.
After flying for a minute, two "persons" appeared on the camera, a man and a woman, both in their thirties, with ordinary looks, and they belonged to the faces of passers-by who were thrown into the crowd and could never be pulled out again.
They were dressed in rough white robes, and they all had a dreamy smile on their faces.
The two were walking slowly in the corridor, as if they were taking a walk, but they soon spotted the drone, stopped immediately, turned around and walked quickly towards the camera.
The drone in mid-air immediately flew towards the depths of the corridor, trying to stay away from the two men and women in white robes.
However, it didn't fly very far, and was soon stopped by three other smiling men in white robes who heard the sound from another direction, and then shot it down and quickly destroyed it.
The image finally stayed on the scene of a man smiling and crushing the camera.
For a moment, no one spoke, and the meeting room fell into a brief silence.
Ji Thrush sat on the far left side of one of the long sides of the rectangular conference table, which was the position of the "team leader". Next to him was Dr. Roland who presided over the meeting, and sitting opposite him was the "captain" of another group.
Although they are all participants from "Peach Blossom Land", the five people facing each other are very strange to Ji Thun, apparently they have never met each other before.
The leader of the "Sea God Team", "Sea Eagle", is a middle-aged man in his fifties, with a disheveled beard, a tall and strong figure, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a sturdy appearance. The scar looks like a classic villain's face, the kind that can directly play the gangster in a gangster movie without makeup.
The four companions next to him are all young people in their twenties and thirties. Regardless of their appearance and stature, it can be seen from their straight shoulders and backs after sitting down that these people are probably all experienced practitioners.
While Ji Thrush was observing the opponent, the five members of the Poseidon team were also observing them.
When they saw the task of "finding the participants of group A" arranged by "Peach Blossom Spring", they also discussed in private, who is the other group of people.
The number of participants in "Peach Blossom Spring" increases and decreases every month. Sometimes there will be a sudden influx of one or two hundred newcomers, but it is very likely that in a certain month, you will hear about the tragedy of several teams overturning together.
But generally speaking, most of the unfamiliar faces added are newcomers who can only wander in the low-level difficulty world, and the participants who can persist to the A-level difficulty must at least be veterans who have been in "Peach Blossom Land" for a year or two up.
In other words, as long as you stay in a closed space with only four buildings long enough, it is almost impossible to never meet each other in terms of probability, and you will recognize them more or less.
The five members of the Poseidon team have already completed four "worlds" with A-level difficulty, and they are considered well-known in the "Peach Blossom Spring".
In fact, they also have their own gang, but because the members all have military training backgrounds and have already developed an irreplaceable team understanding, they are more inclined to act in groups of their own. After the leader of the gang learned of this, He also expressed his understanding and agreed that they would enter the monthly "world" with a fixed squad list.
So when the Poseidon team met Ji Thrush and the others at the conference table, the surprise and doubt in their hearts were actually a hundred times more abundant than the expressions on their faces.
First of all, apart from Fan Hemian and Fan Luming, the Poseidon team had never seen the other three in "Peach Blossom Spring" before—if it wasn't for their ignorance, then the people on the opposite side were indeed newcomers who had just arrived.
Secondly, judging from the appearance of these five people, it is really easy to be underestimated-their "boss" is too young, with a head of curly hair that looks exactly like a high school student, and the others are either as beautiful as a catwalk Models, or twins who can't see what's so great about it, or the muscular man who feels like he still has a bit of fighting power.
The five members of the Poseidon team looked at Ji Thrush and the others, subconsciously scorning them, but at the same time, a question appeared in their hearts:
—Are they really participants who can challenge the A-level difficulty
—Isn’t it because you chose the wrong difficulty for hand skating and came here looking for death
"I think everyone has seen the current situation at Site 7."
Dr. Roland broke the silence of the conference room with her gentle and gentle voice.
"We believe that Site 7 is now fully occupied by SCP104, and the vast majority of SCP items are presumed to have breached containment."
She paused and continued:
"But you know... If SCP104 is left alone like this, it is very likely that there will be a K-class species reconstruction-like doomsday scenario."
The so-called "K-class end-of-the-world scenario" refers to a major event caused by a certain SCP item that causes the death of more than 99% of the world's population.
According to the files seen by Ji Thrush and others, the SCP104 queen bee is a very dangerous and difficult to contain creature.
The queen bee can emit a special silver light wave, causing all creatures within the coverage of the light wave to appear as new copies, and kill the body for their food.
After eating enough food, she will secrete a large amount of gray-green slime, build its nest, and re-"construct" a new body—usually like a centipede, made of countless jointed limbs. A huge body made of paste.
In the SCP archives, the largest reconstructed queen bee recorded has a length of 48 meters and a total weight of seven tons.
Once the queen bee grows into such a giant, the energy and range of the light waves it releases will become larger and larger. According to presumptions, it may even completely cover an entire metropolis with a population of tens of millions.
If it really reaches that level, tens of millions of slaves will be created in an instant.
The "worker ants" of these newborns will do whatever they can to find food for their queen, and a catastrophe of species reconstruction enough to sweep the world will come.
What's more terrible is that since SCP104 is such an extremely dangerous creature, after the containment failure of SCP104, it is impossible to use the simplest and rude method, such as using a large-scale thermal weapon, to destroy the queen bee's nest and her hundreds of thousands of creatures. The copies of the people will be blasted to the sky.
Because as long as the existing queen bee dies, a new queen bee will regenerate from a certain wasp nest at a random place within a radius of about 2,000 kilometers, and then repeat the mistakes of the previous large-scale death.
So far, the only known containment method that can deal with the queen bee is to store its body in a low-temperature environment below 20 degrees Celsius, forcing it to fall into a "hibernation" state.
After hibernation, SCP104 will stop emitting light waves in a large area, but if it does not eat for more than eight months, it may die of starvation.
Therefore, the SCP Foundation can only wake it up once every six months, and re-refrigerate it after providing a small amount of food, so as to ensure that the queen bee will not cause any harm during its life cycle of about one hundred years.
"So, we can only find a way to recontain SCP104."
Dr. Roland's eyes slowly swept across the people at the conference table:
"All of you here have worked in Site 7 and know more about the site than we do. I hope you can join our special forces and help us recontain SCP104."
Upon hearing Dr. Roland's request, Ji Thrush immediately recalled the trailer he had seen in "Peach Blossom Land".
At that time, the line he heard was: [Please prepare the secret service, go to Site 7, and recontain SCP104.]
—Here comes, this is the key!
Ji Thrush lowered his eyelashes, pretending to casually glance at the watch on his left wrist.
Sure enough, the progress bar on the dial obviously jumped a lot forward at this time, jumping straight from the original third to the middle position.
He raised his head and exchanged glances with the team members.
Obviously, not only him, Ren Jianmo, Mo Tiangen and the Fan family siblings also noticed the change in the watch, so they all nodded slightly at him.
"We agreed to join the Secret Service."
Ji Thrush expressed his opinion on behalf of his team.
The five members of the Poseidon team on the opposite side also gave an affirmative answer.
"That would be wonderful."
Dr. Roland breathed a sigh of relief, "Thank you for your loyalty and dedication to the SCP Foundation..."
"wait."
At this time, the bearded man sitting opposite Ji Thrush raised his hand and interrupted Dr. Roland:
"Although I agree to join the special service force, I can't just go directly."
He folded his arms, and stared at Dr. Roland with a pair of fierce tiger eyes:
"As far as I know, the characteristic of the queen bee is not only as simple as emitting special light waves, but also has a certain mind control effect, right?"
According to the archives of SCP104, the queen bee can not only create newborn individuals with light waves, but also in order to obtain more prey, its "nest" will also emit an effect similar to mind control, making any living creatures approaching as if seeking Like a bee who sees flowers, it can't help but have a strong urge to get close, and the closer it is to the queen bee, the stronger this mental influence will be.
If there is no mistake in the file records, then when entering Site 7, these people will also be affected by mental effects, desperately wanting to get close to the queen bee.
"Of course, we will never allow you to take these unnecessary risks."
Dr. Roland looked directly at the bearded stare, and replied with a smile:
"We will provide mind-blocking devices to ensure that no one in the Secret Service is affected by the Queen Bee's mind control."
