Chapter 251: Something Is About To Happen

Area-114 of the SCP Foundation.

Yang Xue exited a hospital room and was approached by Kadeer. "Why haven't you left yet, Dr. Yang Xue?"

"I" said Yang Xue in frozen.

Kadeer could tell by the way Yang Xue looked that she didn't want to leave at all.

"Did you see the supplies the MTF team escorted over last night? One of the larger cars was filled with a small nuclear weapon; if you don't leave now, it will be too late," Kadeer groaned.

Head lowered, Yang Xue murmured, "Many patients who have contracted SCP-610 and are all Foundation workers are still present. If I leave now, I'm afraid none of them will survive. They should not pass away here; they have given enough to the Foundation."

"Lordy, Dr. Yang. You're still thinking about it right now." Kadeer answered, "Can't you see that the Foundation is already preparing to leave this location after two sets of researchers were evacuated from the site in the last two days? Even though those patients are really poor, the best outcome for them is to promptly put an end to their misery."

Yang Xue kept quiet. She actually had the events of the last few days in her eyes. The Foundation felt chilly. It appeared emotionless, like a machine. Arcadia City was now in a dire state. The Foundation would not hesitate to make a modest number of sacrifices in order to preserve the hope of many people.

Although she was well aware of the situation, she nevertheless decided against going with the others. She was, in other words, willing to make a sacrifice. It was impossible to leave anyone on guard when there were so many more patients in Area -14 and a nuclear bomb.

She was prepared to play the fool if someone had to be sacrificed in this situation. She had only one regret, and it was only one thing. He hadn't even had a chance to properly say goodbye to Zhang Jue when they had parted ways at site 17.

Kadeer was gone, and for the final time he would be pursuing those supply-delivering cars. When they went, the location would be strategically abandoned by the Foundation and assume trustee status. Momentarily lost in thinking, Yang Xue cast a glance into the darkness.

...

Yhe night before the evacuation The Foundation's current frontline commander, Angelo, stood in his office and peered out the window towards the far-off city of Arcadia.

A man in servant attire was arranging pertinent data behind him and mentally planning the upcoming action. Although he was short, he had a little fat frame and a naive demeanor.

"One thing, Young Master Angelo, I don't understand: why does the foundation have to bring the nuclear warheads here when they could just launch them from the far-off silo? Since the launch conditions are already in place, why wait until the full moon, when Saarn climbed, three days later? Who can predict what will happen when removing them beforehand?"

"The simple explanation is that Saarn isn't in the city right now." said Angelo as he set down the telescope he was holding." The once-great warlock Yarn, whose power is now comparable to that of a demigod, will spread his intention out and have no entity at all; he will only manifest during the enthronement ceremony, at which point we will be able to destroy him. This is according to information that the Foundation has."

He approached the wall and indicated Arcadia on the map.

"Too early or too late are both bad times to launch the nuclear weapon. We'll put the nuclear weapon here and wait for the optimal moment because this station is the one closest to Akadoda City. The notification I have asked the foundation to write in advance simply states that a nuclear power plant was being readied to be built here in Arcada City when an explosion took place. Once it is finished, it is anticipated that the entire city would be leveled."

When the servant learned that Angelo had given the situation such careful consideration, he couldn't help but smile.

"Stuart, grandfather requested you to follow me to keep me safe, not to snoop on my work." Angelo growled.

"That's part of it." Stuart chuckled apprehensively.

Although Stuart was formally Angelo's housekeeper, the Foundation knew him for his strength and renown. This time, Angelo's task was extremely risky, which is why his grandfather, O5-2, dispatched Stuart to look out for him.

"I'm a little interested about what would happen if I let you fight with Saarn." Angelo stated abruptly as he stared at the innocent middle-aged man.

Stuart laughed, "Young master is joking, Saarn is already a figure to ascend to the gods, I am definitely not his opponent, but to deal with those few saints under him, I still have some confidence."

Angelo nodded, not to talk about disappointment, he had not hoped that anyone could fight Saarn head-on hard. As Stuart said, Saarn had long since left the realm of humanity, and the only things that could really wipe him out were those non-human means.

"Let's go." Said Angelo.

They were about to flee the area by driving after the cars that were transporting supplies.

"Aren't you worried that something will happen here if we leave this place?" Stuart asked.

Angelo laughed icily. "I just have a feeling that something is about to happen here, so that's why I'm leaving. According to the tip-off, someone intends to raid the location and detonate the nuclear weapon."

Even though Stuart could see that Angelo had a strategy in mind by looking at him, he nevertheless urged him not to make a mistake.

"Stop worrying," Angelo made a small hand motion "Just like a nuclear weapon, it will detonate. We'll just acquire another one if Dr. Yang Xue's luck is that awful."

With the final batch of researchers in the supply-carrying cars, Angelo departed the location. Only Yang Xue's rating is the highest due to the fact that the majority of the researchers have long since left the area.

She was appointed as the temporary leader of this place thanks to Angelo's deliberate setup. Angelo also abandoned her two MTF teams. These two squads are the only resources Yang Xue has, except from some medical professionals.

Yang Xue sensed that something wasn't right. But she has already made the choice between life and death irresistible. Although they were not the last to use the nuclear weapon, the captains of the two MTF squads were aware that it existed.

Angelo definitely had different plans for this situation. Yang Xue had the impression of a young girl dozing off while holding a gold bar that would suddenly meet with bad luck. The truth is that, as she had suspected, someone had used the night to probe through Site Area-114's door the day after Angelo left, or the 13th day of the 4th month of the Chinese lunar calendar.

Will Smith, who was on patrol, just so happened to come across this group of people.
