"The mission is now partially completed. I have had your family information compiled and will be delivered to your dormitories after the meeting. Once this simulation test is over and there is no risk, I will arrange for you to meet with your families in batches. However, please note that you must not disclose any information related to the mission for the time being, including the infiltration of the destructive forces, to avoid putting your families in danger."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jingcheng and his team members' eyes lit up instantly, their previous solemnity replaced by genuine gratitude.

Lu Jingcheng stood up and bowed solemnly to Xu Ying: "Thank you so much, leader! You've thought of everything so thoroughly! We will do our utmost to complete the mission and will never let the base down!"

Xu Ying waved her hand, indicating that he didn't need to be so polite. Her gaze swept over everyone, and she stood up, closing the folder.

"That's all for today. After the meeting, familiarize yourselves with the base's security rules and the layout of the research area. I will have someone send over the relevant documents and your relatives' information. Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, we will meet in this conference room to officially launch the simulation test plan."

Everyone responded in unison: "Understood!"

After the meeting ended, Xu Ying left first to coordinate cooperation between the security department and the research area.

The members of the Fire Team all wore relieved smiles. The tension they had felt earlier due to the mission and their families had completely dissipated, replaced by confidence in the upcoming mission and anticipation of reunion.

Lu Jingcheng glanced at his teammates, then at Li Luo and Chu Yuanqing, and said in a deep voice:

"Everyone, go back and familiarize yourselves with the information and take good care of yourselves. We absolutely cannot afford to make any mistakes."

Stepping out of the underground secure conference room, Li Luo looked up at the sky above the base.

Although shrouded in a pale blue energy shield, obscuring the true sun, moon, and stars, this barrier gives one a strange sense of security.

She recalled the conspiracy of the base's traitor and the forces of destruction mentioned in the meeting earlier, and felt a little heavy-hearted. At the same time, she admired Xu Ying and the meticulousness of the Youzhou base.

It is this strict adherence to confidentiality rules and keen awareness of crises that allows the reagents to remain safe amidst layers of danger.

Back in the temporary dormitory, Li Luo sat by the window, looking at the lights of the base outside.

Although the lights were faint, they formed a dense sea of ​​stars, illuminating the darkness of the apocalypse and the hope in people's hearts.

A faint commotion emanated from the nearby commercial street, and the laughter of children could be faintly heard.

Those were the survivors in the base trying to maintain a semblance of life in the post-apocalyptic world.

She touched the encrypted communicator on her chest, the contents of the meeting echoing in her mind:

Members of a destructive force infiltrating the base, unusually "obedient" shapeshifters, experiments combining zombies and superpowers...

A series of questions lingered, giving her a vague premonition.

This mission is probably more complicated than they anticipated.

What is the ultimate conspiracy of the forces of destruction?

What is the true purpose of that shapeshifter? And where are the spies in the base hiding?

But these questions did not deter her.

Having been reborn, she is no longer an ordinary person struggling to survive in the apocalypse.

She has comrades-in-arms, formidable strength, and an unwavering determination to protect hope.

Li Luo took a deep breath, her eyes becoming increasingly determined.

No matter how many dangers lie ahead, she will do everything in her power to protect the reagents, thwart the destructive forces' plot, and ensure that this base, which carries the hopes of countless people, will forever remain peaceful.
