Catastrophe Containment Facility
Chapter 909: Siberian Giant Hamster

Chapter 909: Chapter 909: Siberian Giant Hamster

There are only nineteen people in this place. If someone harbors malice, it wouldn’t be surprising for anything to happen.

Perhaps the greatest threat here might be these ’companions’.

After all, without the constraints of law and given the peculiar environment, the malice in a person could expand endlessly.

For instance, the tall, burly man with a face full of stubble who keeps glancing at a few women, and the sullen short guy who, after entering, said nothing but managed to snatch a handgun.

After everyone had unlocked their bicycle locks, the scene fell into a bizarre silence because they didn’t know how to deal with the complicated situation at hand.

"Let’s start with some introductions. I’m Luan Xing, and my profession is... a mercenary."

But no one responded to Luan Xing. His initial aggressive demeanor indeed scared some people.

Luan Xing sighed, "I apologize for my previous actions, but it was necessary. Other weapons are fine, but guns are too dangerous."

"We need to survive this month together and could face danger at any time. No one knows if there will be another gathering to obtain firearms, so the limited three guns should be used to their fullest extent."

"However, I don’t know if anyone here has experience with guns or what kind of person they were before, so I dare not rashly hand out the guns. Firstly, I’m afraid it would waste bullets if someone inexperienced used them, and secondly, a villain might steal them and turn the gun on us."

Luan Xing’s words eased some of the group’s vigilance, bringing a bit more understanding.

Upon reflection, indiscriminately allowing others to take a gun is indeed a dangerous act. Currently, the Federation prohibits civilian ownership of firearms in all nine districts except for the U.S.-Canada District, so his words are understandable.

"You make it sound like all mercenaries are good people..." Wen Wen, hiding behind Geng Xingshu, weakly instigated.

He came here both for amusement and to check on the situation, hoping to spark conflicts and see people’s true natures, so Wen Wen would occasionally stir the pot.

After Wen Wen’s words, the others cast skeptical glances at Luan Xing once again.

Luan Xing paused and then said, "I’ll give one of the guns away, but everyone should introduce themselves first, and I’ll hand the gun to the most suitable person."

The group didn’t demand both guns from Luan Xing; his willingness to offer one was already a compromise. Requiring both would be pushing their luck, and at this stage, no one wanted to see internal conflicts arise.

Geng Xingshu stepped forward and said, "Let’s introduce ourselves. I’m Geng Xingshu, a handcraft enthusiast. I’ve never fired a gun, so I don’t want it."

Wen Wen stepped forward and said, "I’m Wen Wen, twenty-two years old, orphaned, wealthy, and unmarried..."

With these two setting an example, the introductions finally proceeded smoothly.

The sullen short man with the gun was named Li Wei, and he claimed to be a street thug, whereas the tall, burly man called himself a butcher.

Among the other men, there were a civil servant, a student, a businessman, and a security captain. Among the women, there was a rich heiress, a hostess, a female teacher, a female office worker...

In essence, they all came from different walks of life, appearing to have been randomly selected with no apparent connection.

Geng Xingshu furrowed his brow, unable to figure out any connection between these people.

Only Wen Wen seemed to have a clear understanding of everyone’s background, like seeing through a mirror.

Geng Xingshu was a senior researcher, while Luan Xing was a team leader in the armed department. The rich heiress was Zhao Hongmin’s woman, the head of the business department, and that security captain was the security captain of the Foundation’s headquarters...

The sullen short guy, Li Wei, was a new recruit in a special combat unit. Although he hadn’t awakened his Supernatural Power yet, he was naturally suited for combat, a natural talent.

By the age of ten, he already possessed Master Ye level combat skills, and after participating in a few battles, he could now overpower Master Ye single-handedly.

Out of these eighteen people, seven were Foundation employees, four were Sanctuary prison guards, and the remaining seven were lucky individuals randomly selected from outside...

As for why the Foundation employees didn’t recognize each other, that relied on the cooperation between Wen Wen and Jidro.

Jidro was responsible for adjusting appearances, while Wen Wen fine-tuned memories, making it difficult for anyone to recognize familiar faces from the Foundation here. After the test, Wen Wen would restore their memories.

Otherwise, with so many Foundation employees together, some slip-ups were bound to happen.

The prison guards also had some of their memories from the Sanctuary temporarily blocked. Their role here was to act as ’bad guys;’ these individuals weren’t exactly paragons of virtue, and under such circumstances, they were bound to stir trouble, further intensifying conflicts.

However, if a prison guard didn’t commit any wrongdoing during the entire process, it would show that he had reformed during this period of labor reform.

Therefore, Wen Wen was willing to give him a chance. He would make the prison guard an extra in twenty consecutive story modes, and as long as nothing major happened in those twenty times, Wen Wen would let him return to society.

As for the last group of ’lucky’ ordinary people, they were chosen by Feng Ruixing. They were individuals whose families recently faced economic difficulties. After reluctantly acting as extras, Wen Wen would erase their memories and provide them with financial support to solve their problems.

However, memory and appearance alterations could only be used when testing ordinary people.

When dealing with superpower users, it was impossible to test so many people at once. Not only because memory modification wouldn’t work, but also because if a superpower user entered this space with an ephemeral body, they would instantly detect the anomalies.

After everyone finished their introductions, through a vote, the handgun in Luan Xing’s possession ended up with the security captain.

This displeased the tall, burly man immensely. He was one of the prison guards captured by Wen Wen, someone who would have been executed ten times over outside.

Having his memories from the Sanctuary erased, he reverted to his old self, seeing his detainment here as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. With six exceptionally beautiful women here, he thought he could...

Unfortunately, without a handgun in his possession, he hesitated to act. He was determined to find a chance to snatch a gun and then become an ’Emperor’ here, enjoying a month of...

Just as the firearms were distributed and everyone didn’t have a chance to discuss their next steps, a giant crate fell, and one side of it opened automatically.

On top of the crate, it was labeled with the word "food," but emerging from it was an excessively large grizzly bear!

Jidro’s mocking voice came from the screen, "This is your food for the first day, a Siberian Giant Hamster that hasn’t eaten in five days. Please enjoy."
