Liu Yan took a deep breath and began trying out various possible passwords.
He knew that time was running out and he had to get the data as soon as possible and then evacuate safely.
Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly remembered a number—a code he had used when he and Lu Zhaoming were on a mission together.
He entered the number, just to give it a try.
With a "click," the box opened.
Liu Yan was overjoyed and quickly opened the box to take out the documents inside.
Just then, the alarm suddenly went off.
"Oh no, the alarm has been triggered!" Su Li exclaimed.
Lu Zhaoming's face darkened, and he immediately ordered, "Retreat!"
Liu Yan didn't dare to delay and immediately grabbed the documents and rushed towards the exit.
However, just as he reached the door, he saw a group of soldiers in white robes, carrying guns, rushing towards him.
"Damn it!" Liu Yan cursed under his breath, immediately raising his gun and engaging in a fierce firefight with the white-robed soldier.
He fired while using the terrain to evade, trying to break out of the encirclement.
However, the white-robed soldiers outnumbered him and had overwhelming firepower, and he was quickly suppressed.
Just when he was about to despair, a figure suddenly descended from the sky and stood in front of him.
It's Su Li.
Holding two Uzi submachine guns, she fired wildly at the soldiers in white robes, instantly routing them.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go!" Su Li said without turning her head.
Without hesitation, Liu Yan immediately followed Su Li and rushed out of the laboratory.
Xiaodie waited outside to meet them, using her special abilities to create illusions and confuse the white-robed soldiers.
With the three working together, they finally managed to shake off the white-robed soldiers and safely returned to their base.
Upon returning to the base, Lu Zhaoming immediately gathered everyone to discuss the attack plan against the white-robed figure.
"Liu Yan, give me the documents," Lu Zhaoming said.
Liu Yan quickly handed the document to Lu Zhaoming.
Lu Zhaoming took the file and began to analyze its contents using the system.
He quickly got the results.
"The White Robe's goal is to create chaos by massively releasing 'gene fusion agents,' thereby weakening the defenses of survivor settlements," Lu Zhaoming said gravely.
"Gene fusion agent? What's that?" Su Li asked curiously.
“A drug that can alter human genes,” Lu Zhaoming explained. “It can make people stronger, but it can also turn them into monsters.”
"If we confront them head-on, we could suffer heavy losses," Su Li said worriedly.
"Then let them panic and lose their composure." Lu Zhaoming sneered.
He looked at Liu Yan and said in a deep voice, "Liu Yan, next, I need you to cooperate with me in putting on a show."
"This time, I will definitely not let you down again," Liu Yan solemnly promised.
Lu Zhaoming patted him on the shoulder: "Remember, we have no way out."
He then deliberately leaked false information, claiming that he would launch a surprise attack on one of the White Robe's outer outposts within three days. Unbeknownst to him, just as the plan was about to be implemented, the system suddenly issued a warning:
Just as the surprise attack was about to be launched, an alarm suddenly blared in Lu Zhaoming's mind: "Warning! Warning! Unknown tracking signal detected around the host. Repeat, unknown tracking signal!"
Lu Zhaoming's body trembled. Holy crap, what's going on?
These days, even doing underground work requires guarding against being eavesdropped on.
He reacted quickly, rushing to the communication device and rapidly destroying it physically.
This thing is a ticking time bomb!
"Attention everyone, evacuate immediately! There's a mole!" Lu Zhaoming's order sent the entire stronghold into chaos.
Su Li's alluring figure weaved through the crowd, directing everyone to evacuate in an orderly manner.
Xiaodie silently cast illusions, trying to conceal their whereabouts.
However, in this chaotic moment, Liu Yan seemed somewhat absent-minded.
He grabbed Lu Zhaoming's arm, his voice low and menacing, as if he'd crawled out of hell: "Brother Zhaoming, if... if I fail again, what will you do?"
Lu Zhaoming stopped in his tracks, his eyes sharp as knives, staring intently into Liu Yan's eyes.
The air seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
“Then you’re no longer my brother.” Lu Zhaoming said, each word distinct, his tone carrying a hint of resolve and heartache.
After saying that, he ignored Liu Yan and turned to walk towards the backup hiding place.
Liu Yan was left standing alone, his figure appearing incredibly lonely.
As night deepened, a lonely crescent moon hung in the sky, as if mocking the joys and sorrows of the world.
Lu Zhaoming gazed at the direction of the white-robed stronghold in the distance, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
Since they want to play, let's play along!
"Su Li, pass the word down and proceed according to the original plan. This time, we'll show the White Robe what it means to be the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!" A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he gave the order to Su Li.
