Chapter 181: You Guys Go and I'll Get Him From The Back

"I don't care about that. If this continues, not a single person at this site will survive. How about Supervisor Gray show us around?" Zhang Jue said. Little by little, he narrowed it down to that topic. After all, that was what he aimed for.

However, Gray shook his head. "It's not that I don't want to take you guys there. I… have tried to find where it is and even what it is all about."

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue, who had never seen such an SCP before. "So, that's why, huh?" Zhang Jue cupped his chin, then laughed, "Never mind. This site is huge, and we can go look for it together. I don't believe that we can't find it at all."

...

Early the next morning. Zhang Jue and Yang Xue both came to the cafeteria to eat along with Gray. Looking at the unidentified gelatinous substance on the plate, Zhang Jue solved a doubt in his mind.

It seemed that this station in the desert had achieved self-sustainability, and these should be synthetic proteins. Seeing his expression, Supervisor Gray was somewhat embarrassed.

"Although the taste and texture are a little worse, the various nutrients are adequate."

After one night, Supervisor Gray seemed to have softened a bit. It was probably because Zhang Jue and Yang Xue's arrival had finally made him realize certain problems, or rather, he faced certain problems head-on.

"It's fine." Zhang Jue waved his hand, then feasted on the plate that just didn't look very tasty.

Yang Xue looked dumbfounded. Zhang Jue himself was a man who never tired of fine food and could be said to be very picky. Yang Xue didn't expect him to be so natural as someone who could fry a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Taking advantage of the fact that others were also starting to eat, she poked Zhang Jue with her elbow, "You really think it's delicious?"

Zhang Jue looked at Yang Xue with a look like a psychopath and whispered, "Dr. Yang, something is wrong with your tongue. How can this kind of damn thing be so delicious."

"Then why don't you eat it vigorously like you usually did?"

"Of course, I'm trying to be nice here. Can't you see that Loris keeps staring at me? If I don't eat these, I'm afraid I'll be getting into trouble."

...

Zhang Jue looked at the people around him as he ate his meal. As expected, there were not many employees left at this site, and there were only about thirty people, including the security personnel, who came here to eat.

Apart from those on guard duty, this was probably all that was left here. Zhang Jue looked around and suddenly frowned.

Sensing the sudden change in his aura, Yang Xue asked softly, "What's wrong?"

"There seems to be someone missing." Zhang Jue said and looked at Gray, "Supervisor Gray, the man who interrogated me last night. Did he take breakfast here?"

Gray seemed to have heard something strange, and his face was filled with disbelief, "Advisor Zhang. Last night, only the two of us talked together from the very beginning. There was no such thing as the first person who interrogated you."

The atmosphere froze for a moment. Everyone stopped their knives and forks in their hands and looked over. Zhang Jue stared into Gray's eyes, ensuring he wasn't lying. At least in their perspective, that's how things were.

Zhang Jue didn't fight back, "If it's convenient, can you take me to see your surveillance room?"

Before Gray could speak, Loris snatched, "You don't believe my father's words?"

"No." Zhang Jue shook his head, "It's not that I don't believe him. I just want to confirm certain things."

The group went to the surveillance room and found yesterday's surveillance video. Sure enough, as Gray had said, it was only him and Zhang Jue talking from start to finish.

Everyone looked at Zhang Jue with a strange look, feeling as if this outsider was not very reliable. Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue and asked him with her eyes. Zhang Jue gave her a faint smile and shook his head. He could now confirm that some SCP must have affected this site, knowing there are only so few people left today.

Although he could not yet determine the number same as the type of SCP and how it worked. He had already gotten some candidates and waiting for the next confirmation.

"I probably remembered it wrong." Zhang Jue smiled and shook his head, "Supervisor Gray, let's get started. But before that, I have one more question."

He rummaged through his backpack and took out a photo. The photo showed the man they had found outside Site-14. It was the same man that he and Yang Xue had followed his signs to get all the way here.

"Supervisor Gray, Ms. Loris. Do you know this person?"

Gray shook his head. He took the photo and had all the other employees look at it one by one, but none of them recognized it. Zhang Jue put away the photo and made a gesture to Yang Xue. She understood and nodded slightly.

...

This forgotten site was big. Gray only used it for basic necessities such as the water circulation system and food production system, which only used less than a tenth of its area.

In his words, they don't know what is in there nor what it's for, and most of them even forget what that could be. They didn't even dare to go inside it.

That made Zhang Jue clear enough. Over the years, it was not that no one had gone in. It was probably those who did have their memory erased, just like that man last night.

"Where's the floor plan of the building? Not there either?"

Gray shook his head. Zhang Jue shrugged, anticipating the answer to that question. In a way, it was really like a bad exploration game. The entire site had three main buildings built in a zigzag pattern. Their current location is in the most central one, where some of the main living facilities are located. Probably that's why Gray they were able to last until now.

According to the Foundation's usual structure, some dangerous items were usually contained underground. He wondered if it was still the same as here. Zhang Jue thought about it, but he decided to finish searching the above-ground part first.

Then a question was raised. Should we start with the building on the left or the one on the right?

Zhang Jue was planning to use the most scientific method when Yang Xue suddenly pointed to the left building and shouted, "Look! There's a man there!"

The crowd looked for the sound and saw a figure standing in one of the stairwells of the abandoned building on the left, looking down at them through the broken window.

Seeing that he had been discovered, he turned away. The figure walked with a bizarre posture, seemingly floating in the air. Everyone was stunned by this scene.

Zhang Jue asked, "Supervisor Gray. He's not one of your people, is he?"

Gray's brow furrowed deeply.

"I'm certain he's not."

"Very well." Zhang Jue clapped his hands and seemed to get excited, "Since he's here right now. Don't blame me for being ruthless. Supervisor Gray, get your team to go after that guy!"

Gray looked at him, "Advisor Zhang, what about you?"

"Me?" Zhang Jue said confidently, "Someone as powerful as me, I'm going to get him from the back. You don't have to worry about anything with me around!"
