I’m In Charge of SCP

Chapter 185: Backup

"Good, then let's get going." Seeing that Zhang Jue was full of confidence, Yang Xue nodded and headed outside. Zhang Jue made a hand slash that struck her above the neck when she turned her head.

"Ugh..."

Before she passed out, Yang Xue turned around and looked at Zhang Jue with disbelief. She had never thought that Zhang Jue would sneak up on her, so she didn't have the slightest defense. Before Yang Xue fell down, Zhang Jue caught her.

"Don't get the wrong idea." Zhang Jue looked at Yang Xue in his arms and smiled faintly, "Doctor Yang, it's dangerous here. So you'd better get some sleep first and leave the rest to me, the Great Advisor Zhang."

Yang Xue's lips twitched, wanting to say something, but her eyelids grew heavy, eventually falling into a deep sleep. Zhang Jue took out a small syringe. He stuck a needle in Yang Xue's arm. This injection would ensure that she would not wake up for 48 hours while maintaining her nutritional supply.

After doing this, he carried the unconscious Yang Xue all the way to the terrace on the roof of the building and then took out a small flight pod from his Pocket Dimension. This small flight pod was shaped like a capsule, powered by the solid fuel developed by the Foundation, and could fly over half the planet.

This was what Zhang Jue had asked Lei Shan for. Two months ago, when Smith had disappeared. Lei Shan had promised him a favor if he could get Smith back. After it was over, Zhang Jue had asked Leshan for one of these. It was meant to save his life, and he set the destination of the flight pod to Site-14.

After 48 hours, if he didn't lift the command, the flight pod would activate itself. As long as they were still on Earth, the pod would take Yang Xue back to Site-14.

After doing this, Zhang Jue clapped his hands. He did so because he was also not sure of getting out in one piece and had to leave some backup plan this time. Antimemetic can be said to be one of the types of SCP that cause the most headaches for the Foundation. Because of its self-shielding nature, discovering them is hard.

Most likely, it is right in front of you at this moment, but you can't just realize it. It's not as easy as he says to deal with them, or the Antimemetics Division would not have been wiped out.

He acted relaxed and casual before because he didn't want to let Yang Xue have too much pressure, thus affecting her judgment. In fact, what they are about to face is an unprecedented challenge. The ones they had encountered before, whether it was the Site-14 Infiltration or the Chlamydia town. This situation was also very critical.

But Zhang Jue had never been worried just because he was strong on his own. The most important thing was that no matter how bad things got, there was the Foundation to cover the problem. Those thirteen O5s and the countless powerful forces behind them backed him up. No matter what problems arose, they could be resolved.

Under that kind of situation, Zhang Jue could do anything he wanted. But this time was different.

They were facing the Antimemetic Hazard. It was the same Antimemetic that even the Foundation had nearly been played to death. One mistake and they would be just like those predecessors before them, remaining unnoticed until they died.

And in his memory, there happens to be a terrifying one - SCP-3125. Among the Antimemetic Hazard SCP, 3125 is a famous one. It is the culprit of the rapid demise of Antimeme effects on people worldwide.

In ████, over 400 institutions have found SCP-3125 in their research. This included government agencies, military branches, private companies, independent research institutes, university research programs, and amateur groups. And by now, all of these organizations no longer exist. Leaving only the Foundation's Antimemetics Division.

Sadly, almost no one in the world knew about this, and there is no explanation for the disappearance of these groups. The most likely scenario is that all of them were devoured by the discovery of SCP-3125, which is, in fact, the ultimate fate of all Antimemetic Hazard.

SCP-3125 is a highly dangerous complex of memes and aAntimemes from beyond our reality. The Foundation can only reverse its containment by creating a containment room without SCP-3125.

One of the most frightening features of SCP-3125 is that when someone observes and perceives it, it will cause SCP-3125 also to perceive that person and then completely erase the existence of everyone, including relatives, colleagues, and friends. It is almost impossible to contain such an anomaly.

But the Foundation's excellent employees in the Antimemetics Division did it anyway. Of course, the cost was the total destruction of the Division.

The head of the Antimemetics Division left behind those very famous words.

"None of this ever happened. Neither you nor I ever existed. There is no Antimemetics Division."

Although the process was very convoluted, in the end, thanks to the combined efforts of her husband, Adam Wheeler and Dr. Hughes, SCP-3215 was Neutralized entirely.

At one point while reading this story, Zhang Jue was moved. There are always those remarkable people who protect all of humanity in unknown places.

Back to reality.

The reason why Zhang Jue knocked Yang Xue out was that he didn't know if SCP-3125 was Neutralized or not under the timeline of this world. If the answer is no, then his head's perception of SCP-3125 would also make SCP-3125 notice him and, subsequently, Yang Xue beside him.

Although he was not from this universe, Yang Xue did not seem to be linked to him. He still did not dare to take the risk. That said, even if SCP-3125 had been Neutralized, then there would be other items such as SCP-4125 and SCP-5125 among this site that contained the Antimemetic SCPs, which are also as terrifying as SCP-3125.

Zhang Jue was really not sure that he could protect Yang Xue. After all, the attack mechanism of the Antimemetic objects was bizarre. It wasn't that he could just avoid it by being careful. The most likely scenario was that you were already too deep into it to pull yourself out by the time you discovered it.

Zhang Jue thought so as he made his way down through the main building. Once again, he arrived above the square in the center of the three buildings.

At this time, the sky was already white. But the sky was filled with dark clouds, so it was obvious that it would not be a good day.

Zhang Jue looked around. Left or right, that was the question.

"Eenie Minnie Miny Moe"

Zhang Jue switched to a "scientific" approach and eventually headed for the building on the right. His thinking was quite simple. Since they woke up in the building on the right, something must have happened to draw them here.

Going to the building on the left again would most likely greet him with yet another memory loss, which simply wouldn't help. The best weapon against Antimemetic is actually memory-assisting drugs. But for some reason, all the drugs on this site had disappeared. This made it much more difficult for Zhang Jue to contain those Antimemetic SCP.

The area was lit up, and even without a flashlight, he could still see the path beneath him. He made his way up the stairs. Like in the building on the left, the stairs and corridors here were covered with a thin layer of fine sand.

There were only footprints from when he and Yang Xue had just gone down, and it was completely unknown how they had come up. He climbed a few floors and checked the rooms he passed by one by one but found nothing.

All the rooms were empty, not even a single person or a mouse. It would only be a waste of time to continue like this. After thinking about it, Zhang Jue finally took out one of his divine weapons from the Pocket Dimension.
