I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 57: A Bunch of Idiots

The black-bearded person was named Davis. Unlike Harvey, who had a personality like a smiling tiger. He was a straight shooter, the kind of guy who didn't think twice before anything. He also knew that the GOC was in trouble again and didn't dare to look Zhang Jue in the eye, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

What the fuck! That was the only word that came to Zhang Jue's mind.

The giant red flying dragon that the GOC had released was their fault. No wonder so many reporters had gathered here. They should have been told by eyewitnesses that they all wanted to get first-hand information.

What a pain in the neck. A flying dragon that big would be easily seen by the public. Fortunately, its nest is in the Alps, blocking those reporters. Otherwise, the front-page headlines of major media tomorrow would be "Shocking! The dragon really exists!"

"That's not true." Zhang Jue thought about it and said, "Aren't you GOC guys would use any means to destroy the anomalies? Why don't you guys just kill it?"

Speaking of it, Bearded Davis' face was ugly as if he had eaten shit. It's not that they don't want to destroy it, but the dragon simply can't be killed.

Davis said, "We tried to use machine guns, explosives, laser weapons, long-range missiles, biochemical weapons, but... all failed. Moreover, it seems to have become more and more powerful."

Getting stronger and stronger? Zhang Jue realized that something was wrong.

A dragon that can't be killed is normal. For this kind of hard-to-kill creature, the Foundation has all the ways to deal with it. But, this seemed to be a big problem when it comes to a self-adapting creature.

Zhang Jue said, "Tell us more about the creature in full detail."

Davis said, "When we first found it, he was just a small flying dragon with a wingspan of fewer than five meters. According to the procedure, our staff proceeds to terminate it. They shot it with a dozen heavy machine guns and were beaten to death. But it did not die. Its body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye and became larger than before. Growing to more than ten meters long; then, my crew used a rocket launcher, and the result was the same. After killing it time over time, it would only recover, and the size would be larger than before. Last week, we used biological weapons but still failed to destroy it. The preliminary estimate of that dragon now has a wingspan of 350 meters, and as for the weight we can't estimate it."

Listening to Davis, GOC used all conventional weapons on that dragon to kill it. Zhang Jue wanted to ask him if GOC was still planning to deploy nukes on it if the Foundation didn't come to help. Instead of killing the target, these attempts had become a feeder for the dragon to be more powerful.

All that couldn't kill it would only make it stronger. This is exactly like SCP-682 but with wings!

Zhang Jue looked at Davis and asked, "Since you already know that characteristic of the dragon, why do you have to test it again and again?"

"That's because..." Davis was momentarily speechless, not knowing how to answer him. "Forget it."

Seeing his tangled face, Zhang Jue waved his hand and guessed the reason behind it.

I guess the GOC didn't think this dragon was any different at first, thinking it was just an ordinary anomalous creature. But as the termination goes, they were already too late by the time they found out what the problem was.

At this time, they could have turned it to the Foundation. But on the one hand, it was a shameless thing to do, and on the other hand, they were worried that the United Nations would blame them. So, they chose to throw their weight around and continue to use all kinds of advanced weapons in an attempt to find the dragon's weakness.

Unfortunately, they failed. The little dragon turned into a behemoth and inflicted a considerable number of casualties on the GOC's staff. Then it was witnessed by some people visiting the Alps, and things got out of hand.

What a stupid way of thinking.

At this point, Zhang Jue just wanted to slap that bearded man's face and slam him against the wall, buckling all the way down.

Things are not complicated, Harvey also guessed the reason behind it, and he mocked, "You GOC really a bunch of stupid people, huh. A random termination team uses those random biological weapons. Unlike the Foundation, we are more strategic. When it comes to dealing with this kind of anomalies, we rely on our brain."

Harvey grimaced. Davis wanted to retort, but knowing that he was now begging for help. He could only mutter a few words and did not speak.

Zhang Jue's fingers kept tapping on the table, and after a moment, he said, "Deputy Site Director Harvey, what should we do now?"

Harvey laughed, "Are you kidding? Zhang Jue, you are a Special Advisor approved by the O5 Council. The same rank as the Site Directors, Site-17 invited you to guide the work. I wouldn't dare to teach you the ropes. Regarding this matter, just lead us on what we should do and assist you. I, Harvey, are ready for your order!"

Harvey had just said he didn't dare to reveal Zhang Jue's identity, and now he was holding him in high regard, afraid that Davis didn't know who was in charge now. His whole paragraph had one purpose, to dump the pot.

You can know from Davis' description that this dragon is not a monster to be messed with, and now there are so many reporters are in the area. One mistake will make the whole world know about the existence of those anomalous monsters, and maybe even the Foundation will be exposed. Of course, someone had to take responsibility if something happened, and Zhang Jue was the one who was willing to hold that burden.

However, for Zhang Jue. He was thinking about a plan that hadn't finished yet, knowing what he would face later. On the one hand, he had an advantage in containing anomalous creatures, and the information he had in his head was incomparable to others. On the other hand, he was confident to the point of conceit. At all times, he wants to take control to command others to do things, but he can't just do whatever he wants to do.

It can be said that the question he asked was on purpose because he already knew how Harvey would answer. Both are human, ready for their willingness to fight and suffer. After they set up their mind, they looked at each other and smiled.

Zhang Jue said, "Deputy Site Director Harvey, I'll try my best. Bearded old man, I need detailed information about your termination of the dragon, including the time of execution, the weapon used, the time it took to recover, its speed, etc. The more detailed it is, the better, and also, give me a map of the Alps. "

He licked his lips and felt some excitement as if something hidden in his genes had been ignited. Zhang Jue did things with precise planning, and even those who had just come into contact with him could feel that confidence, thus allowing people to trust his decisions.

This is something that Yang Xue would describe him the bestknowing that when the SCP-682 containment breach incident occurred, it was Zhang Jue who saved the day.

Harvey asked, "Advisor Zhang Jue, what do you need the map of the Alps for?"

"Deputy Site Director Harvey, haven't you heard that in the lair of a giant dragon, there are usually treasures that lurk beneath it?" Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes and smiled, "Let's sneak into the Alps and shoot the hell out of it."
