A symphony of guns and screams began to intertwine.
One after another, the walking corpses fell to the ground under the attack of firearms.
But there are always fish that slip through the net, and the most special one among them, the epidemic doctor, was not harmed at all.
"Back off! Keep a safe distance!"
The task force yelled, but the doctor was faster than they expected.
Moreover, after the epidemic doctor rushed into their team, he quickly reached out to touch different people.
The person who was touched fell to the ground directly.
After a few breaths, ten members of the task force, including the city guard's epidemic doctor, were lying on the ground.
The unknown and special epidemic doctor also stopped at this time and immediately raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
At the same time he shouted:
"Hey, hey, are you treating your savior so rudely? I saved you from the 'plague' infection."
At the signal of the containment expert, the task force also stopped shooting.
After all, their attacks had no effect on the strange plague doctor in front of them.
It is very possible that he is a supernatural creature that appeared during the outbreak of strange rumors.
Moreover, unlike the SCP-173 they first contained, he was sane and seemed to be able to hold a conversation.
"What the hell are you!"
the containment expert yelled.
"Me? Don't you see? I'm the same as you guys. I'm a doctor. This is a great profession. If it weren't for me, you would have been infected by the 'plague' just now."
"I healed them."
The plague doctor pointed to the lifeless task force again.
Hearing this, the rest of the task force members were filled with anger.
This is not a cure at all!
They have tested and these team members are dead!
The containment expert controlled his emotions very well.
It is now certain that the epidemic doctor in front of him is a supernatural, special and abnormal creature.
At this moment, the goal is to contain and control the other party.
"Then...doctor, we need your cooperation in the investigation, otherwise..."
Before the containment expert could finish speaking, the plague doctor interrupted.
"I know. Don't worry. I'm not hostile. I'm just a doctor. I have no problem cooperating with you."
"So there's no need to open the box. The life inside is quite special."
The plague doctor looked at the container at the end of the task force with the tightest grip.
The containment expert stared at the epidemic doctor, waved his hand, and motioned for the D-class personnel to come forward.
"Thank you for your cooperation, this is the best thing."
Things here were reported to the foundation headquarters.
The decision was made immediately to conduct temporary containment.
An hour later, another Foundation team arrived from the Tuoji City branch with a built containment vehicle.
The plague doctors, together with the resurrected humans, were escorted to the reception vehicle and began to rush to the foundation headquarters.
…
A few hours later.
Foundation headquarters, in a specially built temporary containment room.
A Foundation researcher named Scholar Hamm sat in front of the plague doctor.
"Oh, someone finally came, otherwise I would have thought I was abandoned here by a group of thugs."
The plague doctor looked around, and his eyes finally fell on Scholar Hamm.
"How should I start? Introduce yourself? I mean how should I cooperate with you?"
Scholar Hamm adjusted his glasses: "I am Hamm, a scholar who studies various supernatural and mysterious creatures."
Plague Doctor: "Oh! A scholar. I am also a scholar. What a pleasure to meet you."
"No wonder it's so clean here. There's not a trace of 'plague' in sight. Is this your laboratory?"
Scholar Hamm: "From the very beginning of my contact with you, you have been talking about the existence of plague. Are you referring to abhorrence?"
Plague Doctor: "No, they are not plagues, they are also scholars, and the kind with profound knowledge."
Scholar Hamm frowned: "Have you ever met Abomination?"
Plague Doctor: "Yes, we had a very friendly exchange, haven't you?"
Scholar Hamm: "Then can you reveal anything about the Abomination? I mean anything about him."
Plague Doctor: "Sorry, I don't know anything about them. We just had academic exchanges. If you also want to discuss it, maybe we can communicate."
Scholar Hamm: "Keep this for now and get back to the topic. What do you mean by plague?"
Plague Doctor: "That's a natural disaster, a mass extinction, oh, oh...you call it...forget it, it's a plague, it's everywhere outside."
"But you are very lucky. I am very close to developing a perfect cure."
"You see, it is my mission to rid the world of the 'plague'."
Scholar Hamm: "Massive extinction? I don't know what you're talking about."
"You resurrected all those people who were already dead?"
Plague Doctor: "Well, in a sense, yes, but that doesn't really matter, does it?"
"Life and death, health and disease are nothing in front of the 'plague'. There is only one disease in the world, and that is the 'plague'."
Scholar Ham: "But those... are what you call cures? They are no longer human."
Plague Doctor: "I have already said that this is not a perfect treatment. I still need some time to conduct further experiments."
"I have been studying this all my life. If necessary, I can do it again in another life. Scholar Hamm, we can't continue to waste time here."
Scholar Hamm: "Then where do you want to go?"
Plague Doctor: "No, I just want to start research. As long as you can provide a laboratory and some materials, it's okay for me to stay here."
Scholar Hamm: "I think I need to declare it, but I will need your cooperation in the follow-up."
The Plague Doctor smiled softly: "Of course, no problem, please do it as soon as possible."
【End of record】
After the conversation with the Plague Doctor, the Foundation decided to provide him with what he needed.
And in the following days, we observed and talked with him one after another.
A containment report on the Plague Doctor was also compiled and named SCP-049.
[No. SCP-049 Plague Doctor, whose origin is unknown. According to the main body, he came after the 'plague'. 】
[SCP-049 has a communicative mind and is friendly to others. There is a conceptual 'plague' in his cognition that is different from the real world. 】
[The nature of this 'plague' cannot be determined, and it has not been shown to have a substantial impact on living things. 】
[But SCP-049 will become violent and hostile when it senses the presence of 'plague' until it kills the target. 】
[After the target dies, SCP-049 will perform so-called healing and perform surgery on its corpse. 】
[After the operation is successful, he will be resurrected as a human being without memory, called an individual numbered SCP-049-2. 】
[It is known that SCP-049 has had contact with strange creature abominations. Subsequent understanding of abominations may be helpful. 】
[SCP-049 is currently contained in a single room in a special research area, guarded by at least two armed personnel. 】
[If SCP-049 becomes aggressive due to the 'plague' outbreak, lavender can be used as a sedative to make it docile and re-contained. 】
[In order to facilitate the continued containment of SCP-049, it will be regularly provided with corpses, including those of humans, for archival research. 】
[The observation of SCP-049 is still ongoing, and we may be able to understand the strange abominations through him. 】
