NO. Six Hundred Fifty-Three Containment Breach

early morning.

The magnificent sea, the wind and the sun are beautiful, and the sea is as calm as a huge blue gem.

Standing on the deck of the cruise ship, a trace of salty sea breeze blows on Zhang Heng's face, bringing a touch of coolness.

However, Zhang Heng was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful weather at this time. He slightly raised his head and stared at the east. At the edge of the sky under the rising sun, traces of blood-colored burning clouds floated in the sky, and at the end of the burning clouds, there was a thread as black as ink, faintly ominous.

"The weather at sea is always changing." Zhang Heng said lightly, turning his head to look at the two field agents, "Mr. Joey, how long will it take us to reach the base?"

"Soon, an hour at most." The man called Joey is a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He looks sunny and handsome, with a typical European appearance. If Zhang Heng didn't know the identity of the other party, it would be difficult for Zhang Heng to identify him. This man was equated with an SP field agent who was comparable to the ace special forces.

"However, according to my opinion, we will experience a storm in half an hour at most." Zhang Heng shrugged, took a glass of champagne from the tray of the waiter beside him, and motioned to the two, "These days are troublesome. There are two."

"It's just work." Joey shrugged and held up the wine to return to Zhang Heng. "We don't have much knowledge, so we can't be a researcher. If Mr. Stephen becomes a senior researcher in the future, don't forget to support the two of us."

"Everyone, each other." Zhang Heng smiled, who said that foreigners don't have the worldly sophistication of Chinese people, and the Joey's communication skills in front of him are not inferior to any Chinese in Zhang Heng's opinion.

After chatting with the two of them, there were more and more people on the deck at this time, and many people looked at the dark cloud in the distance. At this time, that black line has already occupied half of the sky. Looking at it as a whole, half of the sky has turned into a scene as dark as ink. From time to time, thousands of thunderbolts collide violently in the black clouds. It's like two opposing worlds.

"Boom, boom..."

There was a faint thunder, and the anxiety in Zhang Heng's heart became more intense. Many people walked back to the deck. In the end, only Zhang Heng was left standing on the bow, staring at the black clouds that were already close at hand, and the wind was chasing.

"Mr. Stephen..." Behind him, Joey asked tentatively, and Zhang Heng waved his hand immediately, "It's okay, I like strong winds very much, it gives me a feeling of flying into the sky."

The two immediately looked at each other, and finally had no choice but to return to the cabin and gave up the entire deck to Zhang Heng.

gradually,

Black clouds have completely shrouded the sky above the cruise ship, and the sea is no longer calm, but has become choppy. Waves several meters high hit the hull. The 100-meter-long cruise ship suddenly roared and trembled. Ups and downs, at this time, it is not much different from a small boat. Under the mighty power of nature, it is extremely small and may capsize at any time!

Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Heng had already seen the island not far away. The visibility was not high in the storm. Now that he saw the island, it means that they are only two or three kilometers away from the island. The cruise ship only costs In ten minutes, they successfully arrived at the port of the base.

Zhang Heng's whole body was almost soaked, but at this moment, he found that, for some reason, this island, which he was familiar with before, was faintly disturbing.

On the island, it seems a little quiet.

The island itself is nothing more than a small isolated island with a length of about 500 meters and a width of about 300 meters. There are only a handful of palm trees on the island and a sandy beach with a length of 100 meters. I can't see it, but at this moment, the island gave Zhang Heng a great sense of anxiety.

However, the other passengers on the cruise ship didn't notice it. These people complained about the horrible weather one by one. While shielding the heavy rain in the sky with their leather bags and umbrellas, they quickly arrived in front of a metal disc in the center of the island. A researcher in his fifties fiddled with a series of numbers, and the metal disc opened with a bang, revealing a dark passage.

"Is there no one on duty today?"

"How did it happen, where did the security guard go?"

A trace of doubt flashed in people's minds, but they didn't think much about it. After all, the base on this island can be said to be the top site facility in the world. Since the day it was built, there has never been a serious containment incident. failure event.

However, some people also noticed something was wrong, but in this kind of ghostly weather, even if they felt something was wrong, they had to bite the bullet and enter. As for returning to the cruise ship? That is impossible, and the cruise ship will not allow these people to return, because returning without the permission of the supervisor will be executed for treason.

A crowd of people walked into the gate of the base in a bustling manner. The gate was immediately closed and completely locked from the outside. The gate will never be opened without the order of Level 4 security personnel.

"What's going on, there's no one here?" There was a burst of complaints from the crowd. At this time, everyone was in the hall on the top floor of the base. At the end of the hall was a row of elevators. Through these elevators, they would completely enter the Thousands of meters deep underground, that is the official base, and now it is at most an outpost.

"Maybe everyone went to the base party." A young man among the crowd shrugged, but the crowd ignored his words completely. After all, unless the Level 4 Site Director who manages the base wants to be executed by the O5 council, otherwise However, it is impossible to make such a major mistake in terms of the security of the base.

Generally speaking, the foundation itself has two sets of classification systems, one of which is like the five levels of A, B, C, D, and E that Zhang Heng knows. In addition, there is also a confidentiality level, which is divided into 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.

Among them, level 0 personnel are limited to public information, and level 0 security permissions are granted to non-core personnel who do not need to know the Foundation's projects, such as logistics and cleaning personnel.

Level 1 Security Clearance is granted to those who work in close proximity to contained objects, but do not have direct contact with them. Examples include clerical, logistical, or cleaning personnel in facilities with containment capabilities, or where sensitive information must be handled.

Level 2 security clearance is granted to security personnel and researchers who need to directly contact the containment items. Most researchers and field agents hold level 2 security clearance. For example, Zhang Heng is currently level 2.

Level 3 security clearance is granted to senior security and research personnel who need in-depth access to containment projects, recovery, and long-term planning. Most senior research personnel, project directors, security officers, response team members, and mobile task force operators hold 3 Level security permissions, such as Professor David and Professor Anderson in front of him.

Level 4 Security Clearance is granted to senior executives who need access to Foundation operations and research programs. Level 4 Security Clearance is usually held by the Site Director, Security Director, or Mobile Task Force Commander, who are generally the number one supervisor of a containment project base.

As for the last level 5, only the thirteen members of the O5 Council in the world have this highest level of authority, they can freely access all strategic data and other sensitive data, and after discussion, they can decide any projects and experiments of the foundation, just like the United Kingdom Congress in general, power is supreme.

It's just that at this time, everyone also realized that something was wrong. They stood in the center of the hall one by one, not daring to walk in the direction of the elevator.

"Don't panic, everyone. I'll contact Mr. Max." Among the crowd, the only one with Level 3 authority, the old man who opened the gate of the base before, walked out of the crowd. At this time, because he was the tallest in the county, he automatically acted as a pacifier. The role of many people working.

Everyone immediately quieted down and all looked at the old man. This old man, Zhang Heng, is acquainted with him. His name is Anderson. Like Professor David, he is one of the few senior researchers in the foundation. At this moment, he took out a communicator like a mobile phone from his arms.

Of course, in the base, it is not feasible to use a mobile phone to communicate. Not to mention that no electronic equipment is allowed to be brought into the base. The meter-deep underground is not a vegetarian, it is enough to withstand the most advanced communication tools in the world, and only the communication devices issued by the foundation itself can be used.

"Hello, this is Anderson, a level 3 security clearance officer. We are now in the entrance hall of the base. May I ask what happened in the base? Why didn't we see the security personnel?" Anderson tried to keep his tone calm, so as not to appear to be He questioned the other party, but there was only a rustling sound in the communicator, as if some kind of signal interference.

Anderson frowned. He fiddled with the communicator, turned up the volume, trying to make it easier for the communicator to receive signals, and then repeated his previous words.

But at this moment, that rustling sound suddenly disappeared...

"Hello? Hello, may I ask..." Anderson frowned, and was about to say something more, but suddenly, a strange roar came from the communicator!

What kind of sound was that, like countless people screaming and groaning, suffering inhuman torture like hell, full of malice and resentment, after hearing this sound, Professor Anderson trembled all over, and the The communicator couldn't hold it directly, and fell to the ground with a bang!

Everyone was taken aback by the weird roar and howl, as if they had thought of something, the expressions of all the people present changed, as if they had encountered something terrifying, everyone backed away with a buzzing sound, and in the blink of an eye , A vacuum was formed in the crowd, and in the center of the circle, only Anderson and the communicator under his feet were left!

This weird howling sound continued, and I don't know if it was an illusion, but the voice in the communicator became louder and louder, as if something was about to rush out of the communicator! Everyone's faces were pale, and the timid ones even had trembling legs, and they completely collapsed to the ground!

Tread...

But at this moment, a pair of feet wearing white sneakers appeared in everyone's eyes. The owner of these feet walked up to the communicator, bent slightly, picked up the communicator unhurriedly, and pressed down heavily at the same time. Press the close button, and suddenly, the sound finally disappeared without a trace.

"Everyone, it seems that we are in trouble." Zhang Heng said calmly while playing with the communicator in his hand, but his eyes were already serious.

"This is a meme..." Professor Anderson's face was pale, and the muscles on his face twitched unnaturally because he was too frightened, "Meme, the curse meme is leaked, we will all die!"

When everyone heard the words, their expressions changed drastically!

"Snapped!"

However, just before the crowd was about to erupt, Zhang Heng stretched out his hand suddenly, and slapped Anderson hard in front of him. In the empty corridor, the sound was extremely ear-piercing. Immediately, Anderson and all the Foundation personnel were stunned. up.

"Your emotions fluctuate too much." Zhang Heng looked coldly at the astonished old man in front of him, and said sharply, "Now is not the time to spread panic, and it is unknown whether the meme of the curse was leaked. You spread panic like this. Do you want to be executed, Professor Anderson?"
