I'm working as a warehouse manager in SCP

"boom!!!!"

There was an explosion.

Immediately afterwards, a huge air wave jetted out from the gap in the elevator door.

Zhang Jue instinctively protected Yang Xue, and the two were ejected several meters away.

"A few more times, sooner or later I'll have a concussion—"

Zhang Jue lifted Yang Xue up from the ground and rubbed his head.

Yang Xue was in a daze: "What happened...what?"

Zhang Jue pointed at the completely distorted elevator door: "Isn't it obvious enough? Someone blew up the elevator shaft."

Before Zhang Jue finished speaking, explosions were heard from other directions.

Yang Xue's face was pale: "Not good, the other elevator rooms——"

"Ah, that's normal." Zhang Jue rubbed his head, "The enemy came here alone, and he definitely didn't plan to confront TF (Mobile Task Force) head-on. He just wanted to achieve a certain goal."

For safety reasons, SCP Foundation sites generally do not have stairwells between the containment area and the safe area. The enemy blew up several elevator shafts, and it would take at least an hour or two for the people above to open the passage. During this time Enough for him to do anything.

"We have to stop him." Yang Xue said.

To be honest, Zhang Jue was not very enthusiastic about preventing the enemy from invading.

The uninvited guest was well prepared. When to launch the plan, the Foundation's response method, and reaction time were all within his calculations.

Calculating intentionally but not intentionally, the site14 site has stumbled this time.

However, he was also a little curious about what was contained in the sixth floor that could make the enemy so persistent.

The two continued to search in the second floor, expecting to find some valuable clues, because the two 939 (thousand-throat beasts) were still nearby, they could only speak in low voices.

"Since meeting 049 (the epidemic doctor) just now, your expression is a little unnatural." Zhang Jue said, "Did you find anything?"

"No, no." Yang Xue shook her head.

Yang Xue is not good at lying, even children can see something wrong with her expression, how can she deceive Zhang Jue.

But since she didn't say anything, Zhang Jue didn't force it either.

The two continued to move forward, all the way to the monitoring room, where the first alarm was issued.

The monitoring equipment has been destroyed, and all the video recordings have been burned. Two security team members lay on the workbench, bleeding a lot.

Zhang Jue turned the two staff members over and checked their wounds, only to find that someone had touched their necks with a sharp weapon.

Very fast knife.

The two of them didn't even have time to move.

The enemy seems to be strong.

Zhang Jue judged the gap between himself and the opponent in his heart.

He is good at fighting among punks, but compared with this kind of professional agent, he can only be beaten.

He stood up, ready to look for any other clues.

Then he saw Yang Xue standing at the door of the inner room, motionless and silent.

There is also a small room in the monitoring room, which is for the staff to rest temporarily. Could it be that there is something in it?

Zhang Jue called her in a low voice: "Dr. Yang?"

Still not moving.

Zhang Jue knew that there was a high probability that this girl would be tricked again.

He stooped down and walked cautiously towards Yang Xue's side.

Zhang Jue walked behind Yang Xue, and looked inside through the gap between her and the door.

In the darkness, I saw a big rooster standing on the iron bed where the employees were resting, looking towards the door, and looking at Yang Xue.

She was too scared to move by a chicken?

Zhang Jue was about to complain, when the chicken noticed his appearance and turned its gaze.

One person and one chicken met their eyes.

Zhang Jue only felt a numbness all over his body, as if countless fleas ran over his body, and then he felt nothing special.

He frowned, something was really wrong with this thing.

Seeing that Zhang Jue was not affected by it, the chicken opened its webs around its neck with a clatter, like a peacock spreading its tail.

This time its entire body was exposed, and Zhang Jue could see clearly what this big cock was.

Item #: SCP-1013 (Lizard Chicken)

Object Class: Keter

Description: SCP-1013 is a small lizard with the head of a bird, with frills growing around the head, which can be opened by the bones surrounding its neck.

Most of its body appears to be that of a typical lizard, save for the head and unusually long tail.

Its main body is only 60 centimeters long, and its tail is 121 centimeters long and highly flexible, which SCP-1013 will use to grab and disturb large prey.

SCP-1013 hunts by releasing an unknown radiation, wave, or meme upon its prey through visual contact.

Subjects will report sudden tingling in most major muscle groups of the body, and complete paralysis within three seconds.

The paralysis process lasted 8 minutes and completely ceased after 10 minutes.

If the paralyzed subject is bitten, it will enter a calcification process.

The outer skin tissue begins to calcify rapidly, becoming dense and hard within minutes.

This transformation will spread from the point of contact to the whole body, calcifying the entire body within 15 minutes.

SCP-1013 will peck through the hardened outer skin, devour the inner tissue, and gradually eat into the body as it swallows.

The prey usually dies from blood loss or internal injuries before being eaten, and the remaining body tissues will be left in the calcified tissue to slowly decompose and rot.

Special Containment Procedures:

Standard security procedures for Visual Response Items (ED-8) are to be applied at all times, and any personnel entering the containment area must wear AR-68 armor variant protective suits.

Personnel leaving the area with damaged clothing must be sent to quarantine for one hour.

Personnel who become paralyzed during cleaning/feeding/testing are to be sent for medical monitoring.

SCP-1013 is to be fed a small mammal (rabbit, mouse, cat, or dog) once a day.

Feeding is only permitted if no calcified remains are present in the containment area, and any calcified remains no longer consumed by it must be immediately removed from the containment area and incinerated.

Personnel who succumb to SCP-1013's pre-feeding effects are to be removed and cremated, and all remains must be destroyed within one hour of complete calcification.

……

SCP-1013 is capable of immobilizing any creature that meets its gaze, a common tactic used by prey.

As if realizing that his gaze hadn't produced the desired effect, SCP-1013 took a few steps forward, staring straight at Zhang Jue.

Instead of becoming paralyzed, Zhang Jue rubbed his wrist and clicked his fingers, as if he was preparing for some exercise.

If SCP-087-1 (that face) is here, it will definitely tell 1013 that it's okay to be idle, and don't go to see Zhang Jue!

Chapter 20 Horror Projections

Zhang Jue jumped over the unconscious Yang Xue, rushed up, grabbed the lizard chicken's long tail, swung it round, and smashed it against the wall.

"Let you look at me! Let you look at me! Let you look at me!"

Every time he said a word, he slammed it against the wall.

The head of the lizard chicken's big rooster hit the wall with a bang, and the whole chicken was stunned.

Ordinary human beings are either frozen when they see it, or are too scared to look directly at it. How can it be like this?

What kind of freak is this person!

Its mood at this moment, I am afraid only SCP-087-1 can understand.

The lizard chicken's body is only 60 centimeters, but its tail is 120 centimeters. It is thin and long, and it is very easy to handle. Zhang Jue smashed it around like a whip.

The bottles and cans in the house suffered, and almost all of them were smashed to pieces by Zhang Jue.

Three minutes later, Zhang Jue felt a little sore in his wrist, and casually threw 3 on the ground.

The lizard chicken limply slumped in the corner, its skull smashed to pieces.

It probably never imagined in its dreams that it would die in such a way, which can be called a disgrace to the lizards and chickens.

Zhang Jue clapped his hands casually, the danger was gone, and he went to check on Yang Xue's situation.

Yang Xue and SCP1013 didn't look at each other for a long time, and it didn't cause much damage to her body function. Zhang Jue patted her cheek lightly, and she regained consciousness.

"Be careful! There are 1013 inside!"

Seeing Zhang Jue, she whispered.

"Ah, are you talking about that thing?" Zhang Jue pointed to the Lizard Chicken on the ground, "It has been solved."

Seeing the tragic death of the lizard chicken, Yang Xue was stunned for a long time, then sighed.

"It's aggressive, I agree with you killing it, but can you...can you make it die more quickly."

Zhang Jue nodded, accepting the criticism sincerely: "Ah, yes, I will pay attention next time. If anyone looks at me again, I will let them die with dignity and look better."

It was obviously a very normal passage, but when it came out of Zhang Jue's mouth, it sounded a little ruffian no matter how you heard it.

Yang Xue shook her head, not to get too entangled in this matter.

On the bed was the body of a security guard, most of which had been calcified. When the Lizard Chicken was enjoying its delicious meal, Yang Xue broke in.

This person was wearing the uniform of the security personnel, not the staff of the monitoring room, and he was not killed by the mysterious person, but by the lizard chicken.

Zhang Jue checked the body and found nothing.

While he was concentrating on—

"Zhang, Zhang Jue."

Yang Xue suddenly called him twice, her voice trembling.

"what happened?"

Zhang Jue turned his head and followed her gaze, only to see a dozen or so SCP1013 blocking the door, densely packed in a large area.

They all opened their necks poof, like angry fighting cocks, about to rush in and tear the two of them apart.

Zhang Jue looked around. Lizard chickens lived in groups, and it was probably the blood of the same kind that attracted them.

Yang Xue shuddered slightly. As a woman, she was inherently weak in the face of such terrifying monster-type anomalous items, and she couldn't blame her.

Zhang Jue took a step forward and stood in front of her.

Somehow, looking at Zhang Jue's back, she suddenly wasn't afraid at all, just like she was in the stairwell.

It seemed that as long as Zhang Jue was around, all problems would be fine.

Zhang Jue spat and said, "I said, you are getting impatient, aren't you?"

His tail rose slightly, with a hint of threat.

If the other party was a human being, it might have some effect, but the ones outside the door are a group of monsters.

Yang Xue thought so.

But something happened that surprised her.

The dozen or so SCP1013s outside all tightened their necks after Zhang Jue spoke, trembling all over, and were too frightened to move.

This……

Yang Xue looked at Zhang Jue in shock.

The latter sensed her gaze and spread his hands.
