Chapter 46: Chapter 45: Opening the Door Is Hell Difficulty?
Command Station: "Countdown 30 seconds!"
"Houston, you lead," Ross explained. "Our intelligence indicates that after entering from this entrance, we will pass through a long staircase, but there will be no other doors before reaching the bottom. So we will be more or less safe, understand?"
The black man, Houston, nodded: "Understood!"
Ross looked at Leon Lake again: "Any other questions? Leon, you have been silent."
If we were to say which of these four people Instructor Ross trusts the most, it would obviously be Leon Lake.
It's just that Leon is usually too silent.
"I'm fine, sir."
Ross grinned: "Okay, that's exactly what I want to hear."
Site Command: "10 seconds to go. Nine-Tailed Fox, you know the plan. After you enter, the Samsara team will enter in four hours!"
Ross nodded, took one last look at the four of them, and waved his hand:
"Let's go!"
Just like that, under the gaze of all the audiences in the Marvel world, the five people slowly walked into the building.
As expected, the first space you enter is a long descending stairwell.
The voice from Site Command said, "Team, we are monitoring here, but if you hear, see, or experience anything unexpected, please let us know."
Ross: "Got it."
The team descended for three minutes. SCP-1730 was completely dark, with the only light coming from the shoulder lights of the Nine-Tailed Fox members.
The darkness beneath the building seemed endless.
Another two minutes of walking.
"What the hell?"
"Wow, what the f**k is this—"
Houston and Jack, who were walking in front, stopped suddenly.
Ross came over, leaned his head and looked down, his face suddenly became solemn:
"Shit, alright Command, pay attention, the bottom of the stairs has disappeared, I don't know where that light we saw was coming from, but it ends three more steps down, and I can't see the bottom of the stairs either."
In the picture, the place where the building was originally has been completely replaced by darkness, and it looks like the stairs have suddenly disappeared.
Noah suggested, "How about we put something down there to see how deep it is?"
Jack smacked his lips. "It looks bottomless if you ask me."
At this moment, Leon Lake, who had been observing, seemed to notice something was wrong.
"Look, Ross, there's no void down there, there's a liquid. It doesn't reflect any light at all. It's pure black."
When everyone looked, they found that it was true.
This black liquid was like a black hole, swallowing up even the light around it.
Looking from above, it looks like a bottomless pit.
Ross's brows furrowed, "Wait a minute, oh, we are definitely not going in there, Command, how far are we from the bottom of this stairwell?"
Site Command: "Hold on, about fifteen meters from estimated location."
Hearing this, Ross made a prompt decision: "Everyone, this road is blocked. Let's go back and see if there is another way out..."
Before he could finish his words, Houston screamed, "Oh my God, it's rising!"
I saw that the liquid that looked like black water was surging up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Gurgle~
Gurgle~
Everyone's breathing was stagnant, and Ross immediately shouted: "Damn it, okay boys, run the f**k up!"
As they were talking, the black liquid was approaching everyone's leather boots.
Leon Lake and his companions moved upwards quickly in silence.
Boom boom boom~
For a moment, the only sounds in the entire stairwell were the rapid footsteps of five people.
However, Houston, who was previously in the lead, is now forced to run at the back.
After a moment of hesitation, the black liquid clung to his legs like a bone ulcer.
Houston fell to the ground, "Jesus Christ, I--"
Before he could finish his words, Leon Lake picked up Houston, who was much bigger than him.
Houston's face was filled with panic. "My legs, f**k f**k f**k my legs I-"
Seeing that the black liquid was about to catch up again, Noah, who was running in the front, slammed open a door: "There is another door here! Come on! Come in!"
Bang!
Leon Lake carried Houston and struggled into the door at the nearby staircase, and the door closed.
The black liquid seemed to be still rising, but was successfully blocked outside the door.
Seeing this, the audience in the live broadcast room breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
The terrifying scene just now seemed to be still vivid in front of their eyes.
No one expected that the five people had encountered such a dangerous situation less than ten minutes after entering SCP-1730.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury stared at Houston's disappearing legs on the screen: "Just a hit, and it's gone?"
He couldn't help but ask in shock: "What the hell is that black liquid?"
"Zizizi~What happened? Can you hear it?" The voice from the command center sounded.
In the room, Leon Lake and others looked at Houston's legs with serious expressions.
Ross swallowed and suppressed the panic in his heart: "Okay, sorry, Command, everything happened too fast, Houston fell on the stairs, and his legs were covered by... that thing... Now they are gone, the incision is very clean..."
"It's like they were never there."
Only Houston looked weird: "I can actually feel them, guys, it's like..."
He paused. "I saw them disappear, but I wasn't hurt. I think I can still stand up."
As he spoke, Houston stood up tremblingly!
He was gone below his knees, but his body floated as if his legs were still there.
Jack waved his hand beneath Houston's knees, unhindered.
Seeing such a ridiculous scene, Jack trembled and cursed loudly: "What the hell is this?"
The others were also confused, even Leon Lake was a little absent-minded.
Ross swallowed, "Okay, let's do this for now. You're not hurt, Houston?"
Houston touched the back of his head and said, "I don't think there's anything wrong with it."
Jack was still a little scared: "Oh, this is f*****g crazy, Command, do you understand this phenomenon?"
"I know nothing…"
While everyone was chatting, Leon Lake inspected the room.
He found that this seemed to be a maintenance corridor.
The walls are covered with pipes and instruments.
There were words written on the wall in bright red paint - "What Happened at Site-13?"
Jack read it out word for word. "This phrase appears over and over again. It's everywhere. Command, isn't this really a meme?"
People were walking in the corridor.
Houston suddenly asked, "There seems to be something around the corner?"
"Is it a person?"
Ross came to the front: "Approach carefully and stay alert."
After walking a few steps, everyone saw a person...
A person embedded in the wall...
