Cheng Zhirang recited the words he had organized in his mind.
When the others bowed their heads in contemplation, he surveyed everyone’s responses, then looked up at the cara in front and showed a satisfied smile.
The cara remained still, and he tilted his head slightly, gesturing towards a position behind him.
There were still a few photographers lingering at the museum entrance. They were the ones who had been following Shen Zhousong earlier; while others had left, they remained hidden behind the door, indicating sothing unusual.
The main cara switched to the museum entrance, watching a group of people leave before turning to push into the museum corridor.
In the winding corridor, it was silent and deserted, with only those paintings hanging on the wall despite their fras being shattered; the deeper you went, the more eerie it felt.
It wasn’t until past the spot where Guan Yu and the others had stayed that the last bit of space was revealed.
This was the wall where Mu Qiu and her team discovered the Epiphyllum monster. This ti, however, the ergency axe reappeared, but there was only the axe, without the Epiphyllum monster.
The cara stopped, quietly waiting for two seconds, and a photographer called out Shen Zhousong’s na.
Then, the wall was actually pushed open by soone from inside.
Shen Zhousong erged from the cramped space with his head down, glanced at the photographer team, and asked softly, "Did Brother Cheng take the people away?"
The cara nodded up and down.
He showed an anticipated expression and invited the photographer with a side gesture, "Do you want to go in and take a look?"
The cara nodded up and down again.
Led by him, the photographers and live-stream viewers collectively witnessed what it ans to "strike it rich" unexpectedly.
Behind the wall disguised as solid concrete was a small compartnt, packed with a variety of snacks and half a case of bottled water, about five, six, seven, or eight tis the amount Mu Qiu had in her pocket.
The supplies so had painstakingly sought turned out to be stored right here.
Shen Zhousong, unaware that soone purposefully sought concentrated supplies, retrieved a gilded card from his pocket and held it in front of the cara like a playing card.
"These are pleasant surprises indeed. Places with anomalies certainly offer great opportunities.
Mu Qiu and the others ntioned an Epiphyllum monster here, along with the vanished ergency axe, but the disappearance simply occurred because the program team’s hollow wall hid them.
Perhaps this surprise suits us better; so many people passed by, yet only we uncovered this secret—
Before the third day of the apocalypse, soone hoarded extensive supplies and transferred them here. During the hoarding, they also found a monster archive card and conveniently placed it among the snacks."
He pressed the card closer, and after the focus adjusted, the live-stream viewers could clearly see the writing on it.
It really was SCP—813.
"Although not sure what special aning this naming has, the below description and unlock thod are clearly written. The first monster turned out to be a pile of glass shards; can you imagine that?"
[Couldn’t have guessed it; I only imagined Ultraman, even after scratching my head]
[Is Mu Qiu and her team searching for these snacks?]
[You guys are really lucky; you managed to discover this place]
[So Brother Cheng really is a traitor! The two soldiers in camouflage beca traitors first!]
[Mu Qiu: Already crying]
[Hahaha Mu Qiu and her team are going to be furious! Sneaked around so many places, only to find it here!]
[They even wandered here twice, touching the wall on the second visit]
[Brother Lao Shen, even you couldn’t have imagined it, right? Mu Qiu thought of glass shards as the monster]
[Mu Qiu guessed right! It really is glass shards! Brother Cheng is really suspicious!]
[Ti to place bets, friends; I’m betting on Mu Qiu]
[As expected, Brother Cheng stopped trying to be a good person long ago; look how happy he was just now /dog face]
[I just want to ask, how many of Shu Ran’s team got ensnared earlier?]
[So, has anyone tried to pop out of the ga yet? Would there be world news?]
[Everyone treats this as a ga, hahahaha]
The cramped space had poor ventilation, felt stuffy, and sweat had already appeared on Shen Zhousong’s temple, with dampness on his back, clearly outlining his muscular lines beneath the black t-shirt.
He sported a buzz cut, had sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, striking quite a righteous appearance. But at this mont, one hand in his pocket, he mischievously fiddled with the gold card, and his tone carried a rugged, soldier-like flair.
Besides serious discussion about the narrative’s progression, the rest of the bullet comnts were all screaming "Brother, you’re so handso; Brother, love ."
Shen Zhousong couldn’t see the comnts, but he noticed a female assistant swallowing hard while looking at him.
His gaze passed over without pausing, and he asked the photographer again, "Did Brother Cheng take them to the school?"
The photographer said nothing, simply nodded the cara up and down.
Thoughtfully, he nodded, "Even if it’s not a hundred percent hit, soone among them might already be parasitized by the glass shards. Although they can’t be imdiately knocked out, it still offers so advantages.
The unaware, parasitized individual carries the glass shards around; when eliminated, if there’s soone nearby, the shards can imdiately leap onto another person, continuing to parasitize the next one until everyone except Brother Cheng and is parasitized."
As he spoke, a noticeable, pleased smile crept onto his face.
"This card is incredibly powerful; wonder if there’s an even more impressive card. The broadcast hasn’t notified of the second card being activated, right?"
Staying here, he could receive limited information, fearing he’d miss news about the second card’s unlock.
The cara shook left and right.
"That ans apart from us, no one else has found the archive card."
The comnts drifted by with nurous "No."
The card was found, but not yet activated.
Mu Qiu obtained card 049 but didn’t imdiately activate it; she pocketed the card and wandered outside for a while.
Upon spotting Li Yang, darting around seemingly in search of people, she hid in a corner to activate the card, then pretended leisurely to search for it, eventually "encountering" Li Yang on the street.
Li Yang noticed them, his eyes sparkling with joy as he waved and shouted even before rushing over.
"Mu Qiu!"
She and Zhao Yu each held a red bean bun, munching away, the kind packaged in a long bag with five buns squeezed together.
Without a hint of expression, they watched as Li Yang ran over. Despite her heartache, Mu Qiu pulled out a bun from the bag and handed it to him: "What’s up? Want one, first?"
Li Yang halted abruptly, staring at the delightful aroma-filled bun, his eyes practically crossed.
He swallowed, his gaze fixed on the bun, but his words remained stubborn.
"No thanks... Where did you find them?"
"You don’t eat but ask where they’re from, your eyes nearly glued to it," she extended the package, adding, "I haven’t touched these, will you eat or not? It’s a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity."
