I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 86: Thank You

After fighting with Able for almost an hour, Zhang Jue finally seized the opportunity to use both the Mind Fear and Terror Projection skills at the same time and managed to cause Able to stagger a little.

Zhang Jue took the opportunity to grab his arm and immediately felt a warm current go through his body.

Nice!

Zhang Jue gave considerable praise in his heart. With his goal accomplished, he immediately shouts, "Commence fire!" The voice was so loud that as if he was going to die with Able.

The Eagle Squad members ambushed around the Area were waiting for this moment, and without the Captain repeating the order, countless missiles flew toward the hill where Zhang Jue and Able came from all directions with a whistling sound. Able was so filled with hatred and anger that he had almost lost his mind, and Zhang Jue's powers were of minimal use to him, almost only for a moment.

But this moment was enough. Countless rocket missiles came crashing from the sky towards the hill they were on, and Able had no chance to make effective defensive moves.

Boom! Boom boom boom boom! The explosions continued one after another.

Varengus knew very well that no matter how saturated the attack was against an enemy like Able, it wasn't enough. In the center of the explosion, Able let out his last roar. He struggled, but his body was no longer intact, and in less than a moment, he was submerged in a sea of fire, never to stand up again. The missile was so powerful that it almost blew off a section of the entire hill.

The members of the Eagle Squad strictly carried out Zhang Jue's orders, not caring at all whether he lived or died. The temperature at the center of the explosion was so high that even the rocks were melted. At this temperature, let alone a person, even a cow staying here for a while and sprinkling some cumin could be eaten directly.

Varengus and his team didn't let down their guard, kept their eyes on their location until the fire gradually extinguished, and then led his team to approach slowly. The heatwave on the hill was one after another, making lots of people very uncomfortable, and all the surrounding trees were burned to ashes.

Able's body had been burned to a crisp and disappeared with a gust of wind. He would be reborn inside SCP-076-1, his coffin until he was resurrected, which could take anywhere from a few weeks to a few decades.

Varengus and his crew searched around but could not find Zhang Jue's body. Yes, they assumed the fact that Zhang Jue was dead. No one could have survived that kind of explosion. Not even Able could.

But strangely enough, they had searched the whole mountain, but they still hadn't found Zhang Jue's remains.

"No way." Varengus scratched his head. To prevent Able from escaping, they had agreed to destroy anything within its vicinity, and he could guarantee that absolutely no creature had escaped from the sea of fire, not even a fly.

But this advisor Zhang Jue is not seen alive but also not seen dead.

A team member whispered in Varengas' ear, "Captain, could advisor Zhang Jue have escaped? I've heard that there is a secret method in the ancient East that can make the stars turn around."

"Bullshit!" Varengus cursed, "I'll stab you through the heart and give you a hundred rockets. Are you trying to tell me that it's escapable? Train more if you have nothing to do, and read less of those boring novels! This is the real world, and Advisor Zhang is not an anomalous humanoid. He is just an ordinary person. If there's a way for him to survive this, I'll change my name backward!"

"Ahem." A moment after Varengus' words, two light coughs came from behind him. "Sometimes, you're right. Some things shouldn't be known by many because there are always accidents in life." Zhang Jue appeared there at some point, and he stepped forward and put his arm around Varengus's shoulder. "Isn't that right, Captain Sugnerav?"

The two met for the first time. But the moment he was wrapped in Zhang Jue's arm, Varengus suddenly winced. He was the MTF captain, and although he was a senior, his strength was absolutely unquestionable.

Zhang Jue was able to escape from that desperate situation, and he tells himself that he could never make it alive. He appeared behind him unnoticed, and if it was the enemy, he was afraid that he would have been in a different place by now.

Varengus mechanically turned around and looked at Zhang Jue and said with an awkward smile, "Advisor Zhang Jue, English grammar is not like this. Even if you read it backward, you can't pronounce it like that."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhang Jue nodded sincerely, "I see, Captain Sugnerav."

"..."

Just as the two of them were having an in-depth discussion about the pronunciation of Captain Varengus' name, his wireless phone suddenly rang.

"Well, uh, Got it! We'll make sure to finish the mission!" Varengus had a serious expression as if he had received a very important mission.

"What is it?" Zhang Jue asked. With his authority at the Foundation, he no longer had to worry about any bullshit principle of instructions.

Varengus thought for a moment and still felt that he should inform Zhang Jue of the news. He said with deliberation, "SCP-105 is missing."

"Wow, really." Zhang Jue pulled a long tone, thinking that things were getting interesting.

SCP-105 (Iris) belonged to the same Pandora's Box just like Able and was one of the few people who had been recognized by Able in terms of strength. She has the ability to manipulate physical objects through photographs, and in some cases, this ability works very well. During her service in Pandora's Box, she was mainly responsible for reconnaissance and intelligence gathering missions, and none of the operations led by her failed.

This time when Able broke through the contained, she was not killed, but there was surveillance in Area-25. She tied the positioning device on her body to a wild cat and escaped by herself. This chick is smart.

She was originally on Zhang Jue's "touch and go" list, but now it seemed that the plan would fall through.

Zhang Jue sighed. It was true that people's luck couldn't always be this good. Able was dead, and the crisis was over. After confirming that it was safe, Captain Varengus led part of his team to chase after the fleeing SCP-105. But Zhang Jue didn't think much of their actions.

It had been a long time since Able had broken through the containment, and Iris had probably found a good place to hide. In a sea of people, trying to find her would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Zhang Jue returned to Area-25 with other parts of the Eagle team. The place was in a mess caused by Able, the staff was dead and injured, and many facilities were also damaged. The person in charge of Area-25 - James Forent, organized the manpower to repair some facilities.

Then he saw Zhang Jue and his group, who had returned from their mission. He put down the work in his hands and walked quickly towards Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue tried to shake hands with him, but Colonel James suddenly dropped to one knee and rubbed his chest with his hand. "On behalf of all the staff at the Area-25. I, James Forent, express my most sincere gratitude to Advisor Zhang! No matter when the doors of Area-25 will always be open to you!"
