Seven days later.
The invasion of Site14 site had come to an end.
The Site14 containment area was severely damaged and most of the anomalies escaped.
It took three whole days to recover all the anomalies.
Among them, the project to contain SCP-106 (Horrible Old Man) was the most difficult. The foundation used three D-grade personnel as bait to lure him back into the containment room.
According to the foundation's investigation, the cause of this incident was that a researcher sent by the O5 council accidentally leaked information about SCP-2950 to Professor Li Chengming after drinking.
Professor Li Chengming then passed the information to the Chaos Splitter.
After a month of infiltration, the enemy bribed an IT technician at Site14 site and obtained the defensive formation.
After the IT technician was interrogated, he hanged himself in his cell the next day.
Professor Li Chengming was sent to the SCP Foundation's headquarters for further investigation.
The invasion of Site14 site resulted in the death of 133 workers.
This included 120 security guards, 5 researchers, 3 MTF members, 4 D-grade personnel, and 1 janitor.
Under the lead of the deputy station chief, Huang Xingwen, Site14 site held a simple funeral for them.
Special consultant Zhang Jue and senior researcher Yang Xue gave a eulogy on behalf of the staff to express their grief.
After the funeral, Zhang Jue and Yang Xue went to the mountain behind the cemetery to meet the Site14 site chief, Yang Wenbai.
The old man was dressed in black and his hair was white. His eyes had lost their usual vigor.
"Uncle — —"
Yang Xue called out, she was worried about his health.
"I'm fine." Yang Wenbai held Yang Xue's hand and patted it lightly. He nodded to Zhang Jue behind him.
Seeing how old Yang was, Zhang Jue also felt bad. He sighed. "Station chief Yang, I know you're feeling bad, but it's already happened. There's no point in blaming yourself. It's never too late to mend the pen after the sheep is lost. I believe you understand this better than I do."
Zhang Jue wanted to persuade Stationmaster Yang to cheer up, but Stationmaster Yang shook his head.
"I'm old, and there are many things that I can't do. It's time to hand over the burden to you young people. I've already applied to the headquarters to resign from my post as the stationmaster, and Deputy Stationmaster Huang will take over. The notice will come in two days, so you must prepare yourselves. "
Yang Xue exclaimed softly while Zhang Jue sighed.
Actually, everyone understood that they had no other choice.
Someone had to take responsibility for such a serious accident at Site14 site.
The first one to bear the brunt was naturally Yang Wenbai, the station manager.
All along, Yang Wenbai had been known for his seriousness and steadiness in doing things.
Ever since Yang Xue's father, Yang Wensong, disappeared, he had been the head of Site14 site for more than ten years, and everything had been peaceful.
Who would have thought that he would still stumble.
"Zhang Jue." The old man said, "You've helped me a lot this time. You've controlled the consequences of the matter to an acceptable level. I want to thank you."
Zhang Jue curled the corners of his mouth into a helpless smile.
"What I'm most worried about now is that even though my niece is good at everything, she's too headstrong and likes to go down a dead end. After I leave the foundation, if it's convenient for you, please take care of her for me."
As Stationmaster Yang spoke, he placed Yang Xue's hand in his, with the intention of entrusting her to him.
Yang Xue's face instantly turned red. She pulled her hand back and said, "Who needs him to take care of me?"
"Don't worry, Station Chief Yang." Zhang Jue patted his chest. "I'll take care of her like she's my own niece."
