SCP Foundation Area114 site.
Yang Xue walked out of a room and was pulled aside by Caudell.
"Dr. Yang Xue, why haven't you left yet?"
Yang Xue paused. "I …"
Seeing Yang Xue's expression, Caudell knew that she didn't want to leave at all.
Caudell sighed and said, "Did you see the supplies that the MTF team brought over last night? The biggest car was filled with a small nuclear bomb. If you don't leave now, it'll be too late!"
Yang Xue lowered her head. "There are many patients here. They're all infected with SCP-610. They're all Foundation staff. If I leave now, none of them will survive. They've done enough for the Foundation. They don't deserve to die here. "
"Oh, my Dr. Yang, you're still thinking about this at a time like this?" Caudell was exasperated. "Didn't you see? Two batches of researchers have already left the site. The Foundation has decided to give up on this place! Those patients are really pitiful, but the best outcome for them is to end their suffering quickly. "
Yang Xue was silent.
She had seen everything that had happened these past few days.
The Foundation was a cold place.
It was like an emotionless machine.
The situation in Akadora was critical.
If they had to sacrifice a small number of people in exchange for the hope of a large number of people, the Foundation would do it without hesitation.
She knew this clearly, but she still didn't choose to leave with the others.
In other words, she was prepared to sacrifice herself.
There were so many patients and a nuclear bomb in Area114. It was impossible that no one would be on duty.
If someone had to be sacrificed here, she was willing to be that idiot.
There was only one thing that made her feel a bit regretful — when they parted at Site 17, she didn't even get to say goodbye to Zhang Jue.
Caddell was gone. He would leave with the last shipment of supplies.
After they left, the site would be taken over and the Foundation would give up on it.
Yang Xue looked at the night sky and fell into deep thought.
…
The day before the evacuation.
Angelo, the frontline commander of the foundation's operation, stood in his office and looked through the window at the distant city of Acado.
Behind him, a man in a servant's uniform was sorting out the relevant information and rehearsing the next action in his mind.
He wasn't tall, but his body was a little plump, and he looked a little silly.
"Master Angelo, there's one thing I don't understand. Why did the foundation send the nuclear warheads here? Couldn't they just launch them from the silos? And now that the conditions for launching have been met, why do we have to wait until three days later, on the night of the full moon when Jahn ascends? No one knows what will happen. Wouldn't it be better to eliminate them in advance? "
"The reason is simple. Jahn is not in the city right now." Angelo put down the binoculars in his hand. "According to the information in the Foundation's hands, Jahn, who used to be a great warlock, is now close to a demigod in strength. He has no physical body at all. He will only materialize during the godly ascension ceremony, and only then will we be able to eliminate him."
He walked to the wall and pointed at the city of Acado on the map.
"We can't launch the nuclear warheads too early or too late. This is the closest site to Acado, so we'll place the nuclear warheads here and wait for the best time. After we succeed, the entire city of Acado will be razed to the ground. I've already asked the foundation to write a notice in advance. Just say that Acado was preparing to build a nuclear power plant here, and there was an explosion. "
The servant couldn't help but grin when he heard Angelo's thoughtful plan.
Angelo snorted. "Stuart, Grandfather asked you to follow me to protect my safety, not to monitor my work."
Stuart smiled foolishly. "That's part of it."
Stuart was Angelo's servant in name, but he was powerful and had a reputation in the foundation.
