I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 182: The Most Important Question

Gray divided the security team members into two teams. One team followed Zhang Jue and him to explore the building. The other team stayed behind to protect the other researchers.

"Father, I'm going too." Loris said.

"No." Gray shook his head, "Loris, if we don't come back, take the rest of the group and get out of here."

The reason why Gray and the other fellow stayed here and didn't leave was probably from that powerful sense of mission at the bottom of their hearts. The rallying cry of the Foundation did fade from them. Even though their memories had been erased, they still held their ideology.

At this time, they are weak, helpless, and look silly. But they are the most determined group of people in the Foundation because there are millions of people like them in the Foundation who can withstand those dangerous things until now.

Yang Xue was a bit moved because her father was probably also once a member of this place. They sacrificed because of something. Even the traces of their former existence were erased. Probably this was the saddest part.

Zhang Jue looked at the father and daughter. In his heart, he was also reckoning with something.

Judging from Gray's ability, he might have had some overpowering qualities, but he definitely wouldn't be the top officer here. Probably those who hold the core secrets one by one disappeared and were forgotten. Only leaving him to fill the position.

At this time, there are not many people left behind. If they really don't return, probably the people here can't survive much longer. Gray did not delay too much time. After giving a few words of explanation, he looked at Zhang Jue.

"Advisor Zhang, let's go."

Zhang Jue looked at him, Yang Xue, and then looked at all the people waiting or staying there. He nodded his head.

"Let's go."

....

The doors that had been closed for who knew how long reopened with a creaking sound. Zhang Jue and his group stepped into the building on the left side. The inside of the building was dark, but because it was in the middle of the desert, it wasn't really damp. Only a thin layer of fine sand was on the floor.

Zhang Jue tried to turn on the lights in the corridor and found that they actually worked. The quality of the technology built by the Foundation was as reliable as ever. After entering the place, Zhang Jue and Yang Xue walked rightfully to the front.

Gray and his security team followed carefully behind, ready to deal with any possible danger. Zhang Jue was completely unafraid as he strolled along. As usual, he took out a bag of melon seeds.

"I have a lot of them. Do you want one?"

Yang Xue shook her head.

He asked again to the rear, "Supervisor Gray, do you want one?"

Gray hadn't eaten melon seeds for many years. But again, he didn't need them. He simply couldn't eat them now. Zhang Jue didn't force himself and clicked his own tongue. Gray wanted to say something but didn't.

Zhang Jue patted him on the shoulder, "Supervisor Gray, relax. Since I dare to bring you here, I can ensure your safety. Look, I don't look like someone who would be stupid enough to kill himself, right?"

The security squad that entered the building with Supervisor Gray consisted of seven or eight heavily armed people. But no one dared to refute Zhang Jue when he said such words. They could sense that this Advisor was the real deal.

After Zhang Jue finished speaking, a few of the security team members breathed a slight sigh of relief, seemingly not as tense as they were just now. Yang Xue watched their movements and knew clearly in her heart that this was Zhang Jue's charm.

No matter when or where, he could make everyone feel at ease as long as he was there. Just now, several security members were holding their guns tightly. Their hands were trembling slightly. There was a high risk of accidentally injuring their people if something happened. But Zhang Jue was able to calm them down with a few words.

As they spoke, Zhang Jue had taken them around the first floor. Many of the doors were open, and the inside was already empty. There were undeniable signs of rummaging. It seemed that Zhang Jue's judgment was correct, and it wasn't that Supervisor Gray or the previous Supervisor hadn't sent someone here to explore.

It was just that they had somehow forgotten about it.

Zhang Jue's footsteps gradually quickened. Since it was an area that had been explored, there should be nothing dangerous. Looking at the surrounding, this was definitely not the containment areano signs of those bizarre containment rooms. No matter if it was a demon or devil inside it, Zhang Jue wasn't afraid.

Soon, they searched the entire first floor. There was nothing. All information had been scavenged away by the previous people.

Zhang Jue looked at Gray, "Supervisor Gray, has all the information here been moved to the main floor by you guys?"

Gray shook his head, "I'm sure there's nothing like that."

Zhang Jue let out a sigh, not dismissing his answer. Yang Xue looked around and was confused.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Jue asked.

Yang Xue frowned, "I'm looking for the floor map of this building."

"Don't bother. It can't be here." Zhang Jue waved his hand, "The stuff contained here is obviously very important and dangerous. It was probably erased by some kind of power."

...

The group started moving to the second level. In the center of the second level was a hall made of glass with all kinds of shelves. Some boxes were scattered around.

Zhang Jue picked one up and looked at it, which had various specialized words written on it in English that he couldn't understand. Zhang Jue's English was only at a junior high school level, so he decisively handed that box to Yang Xue.

"It's antibiotics." Yang Xue was brief and concise as she looked around, "This should be the medical area."

The inside of the medical ward was destroyed all over because there were so many different kinds of drugs. They weren't all taken away. Zhang Jue noticed that there was only a certain shelf of drugs, not a single box left, and the labels on the shelves had been torn off. So, he didn't know what had originally been on them.

Zhang Jue said, "Dr. Yang, please take a look and see which type of drug is missing here."

Yang Xue nodded and began to look around.

"Over here are antibiotics, over there are drugs for physical trauma. Heart, lung, eye, anesthesia, painkiller..."

With each box Yang Xue picked up, he would name the type of drugs that were there. Zhang Jue listened down; It seemed that the vast majority of drugs could be found here. Whether oral or injectable, even more loaded than Site-14.

So, what was on the shelves that had been emptied and kept by them? Pregnancy Medicine?

Thinking about it to no avail, Zhang Jue simply waved his hand. He didn't want to think about it and continued to walk upward.

It was still him and Yang Xue walking in the forefront. Yang Xue looked back at the silent Gray.

She asked Zhang Jue in a whisper, "It should be possible to communicate via satellite with the technology here. So, why not let the Foundation send someone to investigate and escort the people? It's too dangerous here."

"It's not that I don't want to inform the Foundation." Zhang Jue said, "How do you know the Foundation hasn't sent anyone?"

Yang Xue's pupils dilated slightly, "You mean that the Foundation has sent people here many times, but the people who came here were also forgotten?"

Zhang Jue continued to explore forward while saying, "This is just my guess. After all, your father is a perfect example of it."

"But there's one thing that's strange." Yang Xue's brow furrowed deeply, "Why doesn't everyone remember my father? While my uncle and I still remember about it."

Zhang Jue gave her a sound of excitement and a thumbs up to Yang Xue.

"Dr. Yang is truly extraordinary. After all this time, you've finally discovered the most important question."
