Chapter 19: Goal, clear

at the same time.

In the outskirts of Hafa City, Troy Military Base, in the command center;

There are nearly two hundred screens, each of which displays the personal status of the soldiers of the UBCS company.

Dozens of technicians sat behind them, responsible for observation and direct contact.

In the very center of the command center is a giant screen, which is displaying real-time dynamics of thermal imaging of the town of Athabasca.

One hundred and twenty-three shining points, showing the specific location of the UBCS soldiers and tyrants.

William and Andre are on the high platform in the command center, watching the screen broadcast.

It was already three thirty in the morning, and Andre had given William a rest.

But how could he fall asleep?

The first time an anomaly occurred, the town of two thousand people was blocked, and he had to pay attention to it all the way.

In addition, I am not sure which SCP we are facing this time, so William did not let the UBCS turn on their personal cameras.

If you encounter a ‘squeaky’ guy like SCP-096, you might rush directly to the base four thousand kilometers away, that’s trouble.

After all, before Sparta, even if the full force of the existing Umbrella was invested, it would not necessarily be able to deal with SCP-096.

...

"Boss, Colonel."

At this time, the supervisor who was in charge of unifying the various technical personnel in front turned and said to the two top leaders:

"Company A has already started the cleaning operation, please give instructions."

Hearing this, Andre first looked at William.

William sitting on the boss chair just waved his hand and motioned to Andre to be in charge of the overall command.

After    was approved, Andre ordered to the supervisor:

"Good second lieutenant, let's release the communications of Captain Victor's class."

"Yes, Colonel."

...

The following is the content of the dialogue of Captain Mihal Victor’s class;

Rifleman: Damn it, it's so quiet.

Support soldiers: There is still a faint light in some houses, is it a ghost?

Machine Gunner: Ghost? Still shot.

Victor: Shut up, it may be listening to our conversation.

Everyone: Yes, Captain.

Victor: Investigate the first house, break through, and see if you can open the door directly.

Breakthrough hand: Yes (gasp when running).

A few seconds later.

Breakthrough hand: The door is not locked.

Victor: Okay, the breakthrough hand is a pioneer, the grenade hand showed me the door, and the others followed me to check the first floor.

Everyone: Yes, Captain.

Everyone: Hu—ha— (smooth breathing from concentration)

more than ten seconds later.

Everyone: Safe!

Victor: Good! Riflemen, machine gunners, you two go and check on the second floor.

The rest of the people will give me a careful investigation. I don’t want to be attacked when the technicians come to finish the work!

Everyone: Yes!

Dozens of seconds later.

Rifleman: (The voice is very small, but it can be heard clearly) Captain, there is an anomaly here, you should check it out.

Victor: I see, the grenademan and the assaultman are on the first floor, and the support soldiers follow me.

more than ten seconds later.

Victor: The command center, this is Victor, the company commander of Company A, who found anomalies.

Command Center: Please describe the specific situation.

Victor: In front of us, there were three people sitting around the candle-lit table, motionless.

And there are dry blood stains on the corners of their mouths and eyes, and their skin is pale, as if...dead for a while.

Due to safety issues, I did not let my hand go down for a close examination.

They didn’t show any hostile actions for the time being...

Wait, their eyes shifted from the candle...

They are staring at us...

shooting.

Communication Channel: Pop! Snapped! (The sound of a burst gun with a suppressor comes from)

A few seconds later.

Victor: Command center, the target is offensive, we have killed it.

The other teams also encountered the same situation, and there were no casualties for the time being.

Command Center: Received, please wait for instructions.

————————

...

Troy military base, inside the command center;

Everyone clearly heard the incident described by Victor.

Now, William can be sure that the SCP that appeared this time is definitely not the shy guy 096.

And this kind of special thing that can be shot is not too dangerous, but it can't be taken lightly.

William got up from the chair and came to the edge of the high platform, holding the railing in his hand, and said to the supervisor below:

"Second Lieutenant, let the company turn on the personal camera, and put the video information of Captain Victor on the big screen."

"Yes, boss."

After receiving instructions, the supervisor asked a group of technicians to notify the front-line UBCS company, and at the same time put Victor's video on the central screen.

Soon after, the screen presented a first-person perspective.

Victor held a rifle and pointed the muzzle at the three corpses on the table.

Then he looked at the screen and continued to order: "Second Lieutenant, let Captain Victor observe one of the corpses up close."

"Yes."

Soon, Victor received the instructions to act according to William's words.

Victor held the gun in one hand on the screen, freed his right hand to grab the male corpse's hair, picked it up and leaned on the chair.

William looked at the male corpse whose face should be about 30 years old. There was a bullet hole in each of his left chest cavity and his forehead.

This is the habit of UBCS, shooting the heart first and then destroying the brain.

It's just that there is no blood flowing out of the bullet hole, UU read and the deceased's pupils and whites of eyes are gray.

looks like a zombie.

But ordinary zombies can't light candles, and will sit around the table.

‘It is very likely a masterpiece of 049. ’

Immediately, William looked at the supervisor and ordered again: "Second Lieutenant, let the soldiers of Company A look for ‘people’ wearing heavy robes and beak masks."

"Yes." The supervisor quickly communicated William's order.

Suddenly, the supervisor raised his head again to look at the high platform and hurriedly said: "Boss, Colonel, the battle situation in the town is rising."

Andre, who accompanied William, took over when the situation was urgent, and said: "Turn the screen back to the drone view and let all UBCS evacuate the residential houses."

"Yes, Colonel."

The large screen switches back to thermal imaging display.

I saw a group of six bright spots on the street, shooting around indiscriminately.

Thermal imaging can vaguely see humanoid creatures rushing towards the UBCS soldiers, indicating that those are zombies that have no signs of life.

The tyrant who stood at three points in the town assisted UBCS in eliminating the threat at an extremely fast speed.

...

"The third row of A company has encountered many hostile targets and is being cleared!"

"A row of company A has already controlled the southern end of the town!"

"The windbreaker of No. 1 T-103 is damaged, and the other two are normal."

Within a few minutes, a series of reports from various technicians also came from the command room.

Shortly after.

The supervisor suppressed the excitement that was difficult to suppress, and turned around and said: "Boss, Company A successfully suppressed Athabasca with the cooperation of the three tyrants.

There were no casualties in company A, and Captain Victor successfully controlled the ‘person’ you just mentioned, the boss! "
