Ji Thrush had watched a movie called "A Visit to ○" before.
In the movie, some kind of weird alien virus is raging around the world. People who are infected will complete personality transformation in sleep, lose their individuality and emotions, and devote themselves to making the whole world a hotbed of viruses.
In order not to be controlled by the virus, the heroine can only use various stimulants to maintain a sleepless state, and disguise herself as a person who has lost her feelings, and pretends to be a kind of indifference and peace beyond normal in the countless infected bodies around her .
Now Ji Thrush feels that their situation is exactly the same as that of the heroine in the movie.
The crowd was divided into two groups, Ji Thrush and Ren Jianmo walked in front, Mo Tiangen and the Fan family siblings walked behind, they were about forty to fifty meters apart, with fake and artificial smiles on their faces, without squinting, one step at a time. One step at a time, slowly walking towards their goal—the Bate Containment Center.
Along the way, they encountered at least thirty or forty people in white robes.
These "people" are all newborn individuals of the staff at Site 7. Ji Thrush even recognized the face of one of the men, who was the captain of the security team who had met Fan Luming when he and Fan Luming fled Area C.
When these new individuals passed by them, they would smile and nod to them as if they had met old neighbors on the street.
Ji Thrush and the others had to maintain a masked smirk the whole time, and return their salute calmly.
Obviously, the acting skills and psychological quality of the five people are good enough, so that along the way, no new individual doubts their identities at all, and only regards them as their own kind, allowing everyone to travel unimpeded.
About fifteen minutes later, Ji Thrush and the others entered the Bate Containment Center through the main entrance.
The originally empty hall is now a mess everywhere.
It seems that there used to be some huge monsters raging wildly here, and there are broken tiles and ruins everywhere. A big hole went straight from the first floor to the dome on the third floor, piercing a huge hole in the ceiling.
"...As expected of the fighting power of a two-headed dragon."
Ji Thrush fixed the curvature of the corners of his lips, and mumbled vaguely.
"Go to the basement on the east side."
Ren Jianmo beside him said softly.
Seeing someone entering the holding center, several newborn individuals near the gate twisted their necks and turned their faces in their direction like wind-up toy dolls.
The five Ji Thrushes maintained their smiles and calmly passed by them. When they passed by, they still nodded friendlyly to the new bodies.
Several people turned to the right and walked towards the east wing of the building.
The deeper they went, the more obvious signs of destruction they found.
Almost the entire wall near the outside collapsed, blocking most of the corridors. Ji Thrush and the others could only line up in a single file and crawl through the broken tiles and ruins with difficulty.
Because of their too humane operation, they also attracted the attention of two newborn individuals. Ji Xiaoniao could only waste a little time, before they sent a warning to other "worker bees", they were eliminated by one person and one arrow Lose.
It took the five people a little time to find the entrance of the stairs leading to the basement, but they found that except for a short section of the entrance, most of the depth had collapsed, and the gravel falling from a high place completely buried the stairs in the dark. Among them, unless they are a group of moles, they cannot pass at all.
"How to do?"
Fan Hemian frowned.
After 'laughing' for too long, her cheeks became stiff, and even when she spoke, her cheeks felt sore, "How do we get down?"
Ji Thrush looked left and right, wandered among a large piece of broken bricks and tiles for a moment, and then turned his gaze to a certain place at the end of the corridor, "Shall we go down from there?"
He was referring to the security control room at the end of the corridor.
"Do you guys still remember?"
Ji Thrush pointed to the room that seemed to be in good condition, and said in a low voice, "From the drawings, there should be a small freight elevator there."
"correct!"
Fan Luming patted his thigh lightly, "It really doesn't work, let's just climb down."
Just do what you say, and when there are no newborns around, everyone quickly ran through the remaining corridor and came to the door of the security control room.
The containment center has been without power for a long time, and the electronic door locks have also failed.
Mo Tiangen stepped forward, broke the handle and turned it down, and directly pushed the lock in half with brute force, and opened the door.
There are three newborn individuals in the security control room. Probably because they are security personnel, they are much taller and stronger than ordinary researchers in terms of size and stature, and their skills are relatively agile.
As soon as Mr. Dagen opened the door, the three of them rushed over with smiles on their faces, and punched the intruder's front with their fists.
Mo Tiangen kicked up one kick, and kicked one of them flying, then clamped the fist of the second with his arm, and pushed hard, like pushing dominoes, knocking the other two to the ground in one breath.
"Come in, come in!"
While urging, he was busy twisting the necks of the three newborn individuals, "Remember to close the door!"
Ji Thrush, Ren Jianmo, and the Fan family siblings quickly entered the security control room, and Mr. Dagen quickly resolved the three obstacles.
Several people quickly found the small freight elevator.
From the outside, it looks a lot like the elevator used by some high-end restaurants to deliver food, but its function is not to transport food, but to deliver some special security equipment to the isolated area below.
Because the bottom two floors of the Bata Containment Center are high-risk SCP biological containment areas, which contain many dangerous non-human or humanoid creatures, containment failure accidents are inevitable. The security control center originally installed many high-tech preventive measures. This small freight elevator is no exception.
It's just that now the entire Site 7 has been completely occupied, water and electricity are cut off everywhere, the buildings are still eroded by the slime secreted by the queen bee, and most of the high-tech equipment has lost its effectiveness—such as the original settings. The infrared net and automatic scanning system inside the freight elevator are now meaningless decorations.
"Okay, look at me!"
Mo Tiangen found a crowbar from the fire cabinet by the wall, pried open the inner and outer doors one by one, and then stuck his head into the elevator shaft to have a look.
The elevator shaft was pitch black, and it was impossible to see the top when looking up and the bottom when looking down.
Mo Tiangen could only get out of the elevator and take another photo.
The elevator car stopped about five meters below them.
"Okay, in the way."
Teacher Dagen sighed, reached into the elevator shaft, grabbed the hanging cable, and began to pull it up.
Although the elevator car is not big, it is completely made of steel, and the overall weight is close to one ton.
Mo Tiangen grabbed the cable and pulled it up section by section.
The iron block rubbed against the well wall, making a dull "creaking" sound.
"Drink it!"
Teacher Dagen yelled violently, and finally pulled the elevator car to the same level as them.
Then he pinned the bottom with a crowbar to prevent it from sliding down again. At the same time, he took off the bottom with both hands and lifted the heavy iron block to a higher place.
Under the dual effects of gravity and friction, Ji Thumper saw Mo Tiangen clenched his teeth, veins popped out on his forehead, his cheeks were flushed red, and with all his strength, he finally raised it by one meter.
"Quick, quick, pull the handbrake off!"
Mo Tiangen gritted his teeth and urged.
Ji Xiaoniao jumped up quickly, and manually broke off the brakes at the four corners of the slide rail, which blocked the elevator car and prevented it from falling down.
Only then did Mo Tiangen let go of his hand, took two steps back, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Having cleared a way, they decided to go down without further ado.
The elevator shaft of the small freight elevator is very narrow. The petite Fan family siblings and the skinny Ji Thrush are okay, and Ren Jianmo is also okay, but it is too unfriendly for Mo Tiangen, who is muscular and thick.
Teacher Dagen squeezed into the elevator shaft last, clung to the sliding rails on the wall, and tried to climb down. He found that this place could only be regarded as just enough for him to pass without getting stuck, and he could not even turn his shoulder. A bloody gash was scratched by the metal parts in the elevator shaft.
"Jile!"
Teacher Dagen couldn't help complaining: "If I knew this place is so narrow, I should have found an elevator to transport people!"
"Come on."
Fan Hemian's voice came from directly below him, "The elevator for transporting people is much more complicated than the elevator for transporting goods. You have to pry at least six doors!"
Mo Tiangen was so stunned that he couldn't speak, so he had to shut up resentfully.
If you only look at the ground part of this Bata Containment Center, it is a three-story building with a simple shape that can only be described as "average", but in fact, its underground part is as deep as 30 meters. It is divided into six floors, and the two floors used to contain the most dangerous biological SCP objects have very strict special architectural requirements.
Ji Thrush's goal is the fourth floor underground, where they want the Dionysian's Lamp.
Ji Thrush, who was in charge of the lead, had already climbed down more than ten meters at this time. He turned his head sideways and checked his position with the head-mounted light source. "I'm on the second floor."
He took a short breath and added: "Everything is normal."
"Keep climbing, come on!"
Fan Luming's encouragement came from above Ji Thrush's head.
So Ji Xiaoniao continued to climb down.
Because the elevator shaft is well sealed, the viscous substance secreted by the queen bee didn't spread too much here. Ji thrush crawled all the way down, and only found a few sporadic pieces on the side near the door.
It's just that he climbed down about half a floor, and the gray-green glue touched by his palms became more and more, and it seemed that he stepped on something sticky under his feet, and it slipped straight away when he moved.
Ji Thrush secretly felt puzzled.
After continuing to climb down two meters, the goo became more.
A large group of glue suddenly protruded from the side of the wall, and the hexagonal honeycomb structure was stacked staggered, almost blocking about one-third of the space of the elevator shaft.
Ji Thrush stretched out his hand and tried to break it.
When the glue dries, it becomes brittle and can be broken with a little effort.
So Ji Thrush asked the others to wait, and began to clean up the debris that blocked the way.
—Crack, click, click.
After a few crisp sounds, Ji Xiaoniao broke off a few balls of glue, revealing a dark hole behind.
It was the elevator door leading to the third floor, and it opened for some reason, and the jelly secreted by the queen bee gradually penetrated from here and spread into the elevator shaft.
"The door to the negative third floor opened..."
While cleaning the glue, Ji Thrush reported to several teammates above his head.
However, he only spoke half of what he said, and suddenly disappeared.
Because he saw, without warning, a woman's face suddenly hung upside down at the gap he had cleared!
