Su Ting handed her the document and pointed to a section.
“Take a look at this part. It involves a classified research project called ‘Project Dark Night.’ They are trying to develop a new type of weapon that can cause mass destruction in a short period of time.”
Zhao Ying frowned. "We must report this to headquarters immediately."
"I have already contacted them, and they said they would send someone to handle it immediately."
As Su Ting spoke, he turned his gaze to the other team members and said loudly, "Everyone, keep working. Be sure to carefully check every detail and don't miss any information."
The team members nodded to indicate they understood and continued their work.
Just then, Li Xinyi led a man into the laboratory. The man was wearing a black suit and appeared capable and calm.
"This is Wang Ze, an agent sent from headquarters," Li Xinyi introduced.
Su Ting stepped forward and extended his hand to shake hands with Wang Ze. "Welcome. We need to organize the documents and hand them over to you as soon as possible."
Wang Ze nodded in response: "Thank you all for your hard work. I will assist you in completing this task as soon as possible."
Zhao Ying handed the documents to Wang Ze, saying, "Some of the content here needs further analysis by experts. You can take a look at these first."
Wang Ze took the document, glanced at it quickly, and said, "Okay, I understand. We will fully cooperate with you."
Su Ting watched their conversation from the side, his brows furrowed.
"We must act quickly. Project Dark Night is too far-reaching, and if it is not contained in time, it could pose a huge threat."
Wang Ze nodded in agreement. "I agree with your point of view. We have already arranged for a professional team to conduct technical analysis, and we will soon be able to draw more detailed conclusions."
During the discussion, a team member suddenly raised his hand and said, "Sir, there is an encrypted file package here that we haven't opened yet."
Everyone looked at the USB drive in his hand upon hearing the sound, their expressions grave.
"Bring it here quickly so I can take a look." Wang Ze gestured for the team member to hand him the USB drive.
Su Ting and Zhao Ying also gathered around. Wang Ze skillfully operated the computer, and lines of encrypted text gradually appeared on the screen.
“This is a high-level encryption format,” Wang Ze said in a deep voice. “But don’t worry, our technical team has specialized cracking tools and can decrypt it quickly.”
Su Ting nodded: "Then let's deal with it as soon as possible. Time is of the essence, we can't delay any longer."
At the same time, hurried footsteps sounded outside the laboratory. A guard rushed in, "Report! We just received information that the other side may have realized we are investigating and has begun to take action!"
Su Ting and Zhao Ying exchanged a glance, alarm bells ringing in their hearts. Zhao Ying decisively ordered, "Everyone, be on high alert and strengthen defenses!"
Wang Ze also stood up and said firmly, "In that case, we can't stop now. We must immediately activate the emergency procedures to ensure the security of the data."
The team members sprang into action, and the laboratory was instantly bustling with activity.
Li Xinyi walked over to Su Ting and said, "Su Ting, do you think the challenges we face now are even greater?"
Su Ting looked at her with unwavering determination. "That's true. But as long as we work together, there's nothing we can't overcome."
Chapter 284 Contacting the Headquarters Technical Team
Su Ting's tone revealed an undeniable determination, which infected everyone in the laboratory, making their movements faster and more coordinated.
Wang Ze has begun contacting the headquarters' technical team through his encrypted communication device, attempting to decrypt the ciphertext on the USB drive as soon as possible.
"How quickly can you crack this file package?" Zhao Ying asked eagerly.
“Our technicians have already started working, and given the complexity of the task, it should take about half an hour,” Wang Ze replied. “But we must be prepared for both possibilities.”
Su Ting nodded in agreement: "That's right, and we should also be prepared for any actions they might take."
Li Xinyi asked from the side, "What if the other side discovers that we are deciphering this document?"
“That means we need to speed things up,” Su Ting said firmly, “and strengthen our security measures, just in case.”
As soon as he finished speaking, an alarm suddenly blared throughout the laboratory, and the lights switched to a dim red glow in emergency mode.
All team members immediately went on high alert, each picking up their weapons and standing in their respective positions, their eyes revealing a tense but not panicked expression.
At that moment, a team member reported, "Sir, our perimeter surveillance system has just detected a signal from an unidentified object that is approaching us!"
Su Ting frowned. "Attention everyone, maintain high vigilance. Zhao Ying, notify other departments to immediately enter emergency preparedness mode to ensure the safety of the base."
Zhao Ying quickly walked to the communication station and sent out instructions.
Meanwhile, Wang Ze continued to maintain close contact with headquarters: "This is Agent 07. We've encountered an emergency. Please dispatch a support team and prepare an evacuation plan..."
Time passed second by second, the sounds outside grew closer, and everyone's heartbeats unconsciously quickened.
Suddenly, the laboratory door was violently slammed from the outside.
Su Ting signaled to his team members to prepare for battle, and then stood at the doorway himself.
Then the door was pounded on several times and forced open, and several people dressed in black combat uniforms and carrying heavy equipment rushed into the room.
One of the leaders raised his gun and pointed it at the crowd, his eyes cold. "Don't move, put down what you're holding."
Despite the critical situation, Su Ting, as a well-trained professional, did not show much panic but calmly asked questions.
Who are you? Why are you doing this?
The leader sneered and did not answer the question directly, but instead ordered his men to begin searching the interior of the laboratory.
"Find that USB drive and other relevant documents!" he shouted at Su Ting. "Hand over the documents and we'll spare your life."
Just then, Li Xinyi, who had been silently observing the changing situation and seemed to have some ideas, quietly made a hand gesture to Su Ting.
The latter immediately understood, and while pretending to hesitate as he handed over the USB drive, he actually quickly activated the countermeasure mechanism that had been set up beforehand.
A flash of electricity appeared, and the intruders were all electrocuted, losing their fighting ability and temporarily losing their ability to resist.
Taking this opportunity, Zhao Ying led everyone to quickly pack up the important documents and leave the area through a pre-prepared secret passage.
"Hurry up, follow this route until you get out of the underground section!" she shouted, directing the others to evacuate.
Meanwhile, the targets, who had just woken up and were about to give chase, found themselves far behind. Furious, they could only helplessly watch the figures disappear into the distance.
After everyone safely reached a safe area near the ground exit, Wang Ze received the latest message: "The rescue team is on their way. Please stay where you are and wait for our assistance."
Su Ting let out a long sigh of relief and patted his companions on the shoulders in consolation. "Well done, guys. Thanks to your quick thinking."
Chapter 285 Emergency Evacuation
The tense atmosphere eased slightly when Su Ting and his group finally sat down in the safe house.
Although everyone appeared calm on the surface, they remained on edge. It was a narrow victory, and they knew very well that the enemy they faced was no ordinary foe.
Zhao Ying checked the equipment she was carrying: "Our operation has been exposed, and those guys definitely won't let this go."
“That’s right, we must speed up the processing of that document and not give them any more time to react.”
Li Xinyi chimed in from the side.
At that moment, Wang Ze's voice came.
"We've already contacted support teams, and they're expected to arrive within ten minutes to pick us up. However, headquarters needs more time to analyze this coded message."
"Time is everything. Every second wasted means an increase in the risk." Su Ting frowned, looking at the USB drive on the table, his eyes filled with worry and resentment.
Suddenly, Zhao Ying's phone rang—it was an encrypted message from the base's internal communication system.
“It looks like someone is trying to find clues through our internal channels. We must take immediate action,” she said quickly, turning the screen to her teammates.
The message contained snippets of intelligence that the technical team had just obtained, which appeared to be preliminary decoding results of parts of the unknown ciphertext.
"This symbol looks familiar... wait!"
Wang Ze suddenly interrupted everyone's thoughts, a glint of light flashing in his eyes, "Isn't this the mark used by the international crime syndicate we were investigating before?"
This discovery shocked everyone; it turned out that such a powerful force was involved behind the conspiracy.
"No matter who did it, we cannot sit idly by and wait to die."
Li Xinyi stood up resolutely. "We should come up with a plan now to ensure everyone's safety while completing the mission."
As several determined gazes met, a bold yet meticulous idea gradually took shape.
They split into two teams: one team continued trying to unlock the secrets of the USB drive, while the other team went to the nearest satellite station to accelerate the cracking process with the help of more powerful computing capabilities.
Just as they were discussing the details, the door to the room was pushed open again—the rescue team had arrived as scheduled. "Please come with us, it's no longer safe here," the leading soldier said.
The group nodded in agreement and, led by him, quickly moved through the narrow corridor toward the exit.
"What's next?" Zhao Ying asked Su Ting in a low voice as they passed the last corner.
“We will split into two groups,” he replied decisively.
"You, me, and the other two team members will go to the satellite station first to try to obtain more information; Wang Ze, you are responsible for staying on the outskirts of the city to find a hidden location to continue contacting technical support and protect the remaining data."
Upon hearing this, everyone understood their assigned tasks and immediately began to act according to the instructions.
As the last rays of moonlight illuminated their figures and they gradually disappeared into the night...
Looking at the city lights that were faintly visible in the distance, Wang Ze whispered to his companion who was packing his things to leave: "Be careful, keep in touch, and notify the other party immediately if you encounter any problems."
"You too," team member A replied, then turned and walked quickly forward.
Meanwhile, on the other side of the road to the satellite station...
"Do you really think we can find a crucial clue this time?" Zhao Ying couldn't help but ask.
