Who Are You

Hael's assistant found a man under the cliff, hiding behind a rock and showing only half his body, not knowing whether he was alive or dead. If not for his sharp eyes, maybe the man would never have been found.

Hael took out a rope, put it on his body, went down the cliff, and brought him up. The man was bathed in blood. They couldn't see his face with a helmet on. The armed suit printed with the words GOC signaled his identity. He must be a GOC personnel.

Hael carried him on his back, and after Zhang Jue checked his vital signs and confirmed that he was still alive. He searched his whole body and then dismounted all his weapons and equipment.

"What are you doing!" Davis yelled with anger.

The entire GOC crew was missing and had probably met their demise. This person was their only hope of finding the rest of GOC's personnel. Although Zhang Jue didn't trust him enough. He sighed and patted Davis's shoulder.

"Bearded man. Don't be blinded by hatred and anger. You are a field agent. There are things that you should know better than I do. No matter when or where ensuring safety is the first priority."

Zhang Jue stopped Davis' anger by giving him words through his mouth. Everyone had disappeared, and only this man remained here, which was a problem in itself. That cliff was hidden, but the enemy was powerful enough to wipe them all. How could they make such a small mistake like this?

The current situation was as if someone had deliberately left him here, waiting for others to rescue him. The temperature on the mountain peak was low, and the GOC personnel was wearing armed helmets, so that Davis couldn't have known everyone.

Although this man was wearing a GOC uniform, no one knew if he was a member of the GOC personnel and the one who should be guarding the camp.

Listening to Zhang Jue's words, Davis also thought about that point. As a GOC field agent, his brain wasn't slow. But the situation at the camp was so bizarre that it had slowed his ability to think. Foundation's personnel was always rigorous in their work, and he had to admit that Jue Zhang was right.

Davis clenched his fist opened the goggles on the man's helmet. He wiped a little of the blood off his face and tried to see the survivor's face.

"Hunter?!" Davis screamed. It seemed he knew this man.

Zhang Jue and Hael looked at each other. In that case, they should be able to figure out what the hell had happened here.

With the help of Zhang Jue and the others, Hunter finally woke up three hours later. He was a little weak, leaning against the rock with frightened eyes. He was staggered after experiencing something terrible.

Zhang Jue handed him a cup of hot water, "No need to rush. Take your time."

Hunter closed his eyes and tried to remember what had happened. His body trembled slightly. Those memories were not so good. About ten minutes later, he spoke.

"Ever since Davis left, strange things had happened in the camp one after another."

"Starting that night, people from the camp started disappearing for no reason."

"Some were out on patrol and never came back. Others were even more horrific; one second, I was talking to them, and when I turned around, they were gone."

"Captain Bruno began to count. At eight o'clock, it was one hundred and thirty-five personnel. At nine o'clock on the second count, there were less than one hundred and twenty people."

"Everyone started to panic, and I was a little scared."

"The captain gathered everyone together. Several team leaders discussed how they should react to this situation. They felt that this place was experiencing weird stuff and everyone decided to leave the place the next day."

"In the morning, everyone's eyes were red, and many of them could no longer speak."

"It was time for us to retreat. I packed up my equipment and was preparing to leave the tent."

"But who would have known that my partner, Arthur, stabbed me with a dagger. I knocked him out and tried to get out for help."

"But I found that everyone had gone mad and killed each other."

"I saw Captain Bruno shoot Vice-Captain Dennis in the head and then get blown up by another guy with a rocket launcher."

"Everyone was going crazy."

"A couple of guys tried to come over to kill me. I ran all the way to the exit and fell off a cliff in a hurry."

"After that, I didn't know anything else."

When Hunter finished speaking, all of them looked at each other—puzzled at what had just happened. Zhang Jue cupped his chin with his fingers, processing the information Hunter had conveyed.

All of the GOC's personnel had inexplicably disappeared and then killed each other. He thought through his brain and hadn't come up with any anomalous object or phenomenon that could turn everyone like that.

If we were to combine the weird things that happened here with an SCP object, it would look a bit like the Hanged King's Tragedy. But the GOC personnel was is here to carry out a mission. Did they perform the drama here? Just thinking about it made him feel unsympathetic.

Zhang Jue's brow furrowed slightly. There was something weird about this. If they couldn't find out what had caused it, they had to evacuate immediately and stop the MTF squads from heading here. Otherwise, everyone would face the fate as the others.

Compared to that giant Dragon, this unknown danger is rather more frightening.

Hael was also thinking about the situation and asked, "Advisor Zhang, what should we do?"

Zhang Jue said, "According to Hunter, the GOC camp began to show abnormalities after being stationed here overnight. It looks like it should be an anomalous phenomenon that disturbs everyone's thoughts. The GOC personnel, like the SCP Foundation personnel, have mostly undergone special mental training. If they can't resist it, the MTF wouldn't have the chance to survive it. We must first inform them to stay away from here."

Zhang Jue narrowed his eyes, "Another thing to confirm is whether what happened here is related to that giant dragon."

Hunter said faintly, "About that... I don't think that has anything to do with the Dragon."

"Oh?" Zhang Jue raised his eyebrows and looked at him, "Why is that so?"

"Just... a hunch," Hunter said. "It gives me the feeling that it's more like a geomagnetic field or something like that. As long as we get out of here, we won't be affected."

"So that's how it is." Zhang Jue gave a long sigh and casually pulled out the sidearm he was carrying and played with it in his hands.

He said to Hael, "How about this, rather than having your assistant escort Hunter down the mountain. The rest of us will stick to the plan. We will wait here for the MTF team to arrive, and then we'll search the Dragon's nest."

Hunter coughed violently twice, "No, don't stay here. Something will definitely happen!" Seeing his response, Zhang Jue smiled.

If Yang Xue had been here, she would have understood that this meant Zhang Jue already had a good idea of the situation.

"Well, the show ends here." He pointed the gun in his hand at Hunter's head. "Tell me, who are you really?"
