Li Wei frowned, but quickly understood the captain's intention: "Okay, in that case, let's turn around. Saving people is important. Maybe that person has some important clues."

The car quickly turned and sped towards the factory. Meanwhile, in the ruins, two brave young men had successfully rescued the injured researcher from the rubble and were using their first aid kits to provide initial treatment. While waiting for the ambulance, they reassured him, "Don't worry, help will be here soon."

At that moment, Lu Yining and his team arrived at their destination. The team quickly disembarked and asked the two young men about the situation. "Thank you very much for your help. How is that person doing now?" Lu Yining asked politely.

The young man pointed to the injured man who was temporarily placed on a wooden board not far away and said, "He has recovered a little, but he still needs to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible."

"Okay, we'll get him to the hospital safely." Lu Yining then directed the team to help transfer the injured person to the medical stretcher prepared in the trunk, then quickly returned to the vehicle and set off again. The ambulance followed closely behind, heading to the nearest medical facility. Throughout the process, everyone appeared extremely professional and calm, a truly admirable dedication.

"I never expected to meet you, a group of true heroes, in such a situation!" exclaimed the young man who participated in the rescue. "I really envy your lives."

"Actually, there's nothing special about us. We're just doing our job." Li Wei answered with a smile, but there was a gleam in her eyes.

Elsewhere, on the way to the hospital, the mysterious researcher gradually regained consciousness. He looked at the people around him who were protecting his life, his eyes filled with mixed emotions. "Why did you save me?" he asked in a faint voice.

"Because we hope the world can become a better place." Lu Yining responded gently but firmly, "And you may be able to help us and work together towards this goal."

After hearing this, the researcher was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "Okay... I will tell you everything I know..."

Outside the car window, the sun shines brightly and warmly; inside, it feels like a new chapter has begun—one filled with unknowns, suspense, and hope…

"Captain, do you think what this guy said is reliable?" Ajie asked softly.

Lu Yining glanced at the researcher in the rearview mirror, a thoughtful expression on his face. "No matter what, let's hear what he says first. The truth is often hidden in the details, and we need to carefully discern every piece of information."

At that moment, dark clouds began to gather in the distant sky, foreshadowing a stormy road ahead. As the car pulled into the hospital, a light drizzle began to fall. The team quickly carried the injured researcher into the emergency room, where doctors and nurses immediately took over. Amidst the busy medical staff, the researcher's gaze remained fixed on Lu Yining.

"Sir, please rest assured and leave it to us," a nurse soothed, then turned back to the emergency room. Meanwhile, Lu Yining and his team were waiting in the hospital for the results. They needed to confirm that this key figure had escaped safely and to extract as much useful information as possible from him.

The corridor was filled with the faint smell of disinfectant, and occasionally medical staff in white coats would hurried by. "I really don't know if he can make it," Li Wei whispered, her tone tinged with worry. "Besides, how can we be sure that what he said is true?"

Zhang Hao took off his glasses and wiped the lenses: "I can only try to stay calm and analyze the situation. Regardless of whether it is true or not, the most important thing now is to let him live and tell what he knows." At this time, the sky outside the window was getting darker and darker, and it seemed that a rainstorm was about to come.

After a while, the attending physician in charge of the treatment came out. "The patient's condition has stabilized," she explained to the team members, "but he's still very weak, so it's not advisable to talk to him for a long time. You can go in and take a look first."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed the doctor to the ward's door. They saw the researcher half-reclining on the bed. Although still exhausted, he was clearly in better spirits. Upon seeing the newcomer, he forced a smile. "Thank you... for giving me a second chance at life."

"This is what we should do." Lu Yining stepped forward and gently shook the other person's hand. "Then, could you please tell us the details of the whole incident?"

The other person nodded. "My name is Zhao Yunxiang, and I'm a senior researcher doing genetic research at this abandoned factory. Our team has been trying to develop a new drug that's said to cure many currently intractable diseases. However, in recent months, some serious anomalies have suddenly occurred during our experiments—many samples have begun to mutate or even go out of control, leading to a series of accidents in the experimental area."

Hearing this, everyone present showed a solemn expression. Wang Qiang couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you find anything particularly suspicious or any human factors involved?"

Zhao Yunxiang sighed. "At first, we thought it was just a normal experimental failure and didn't take it too seriously. Until a month ago, when the lab's internal server was maliciously hacked. The next day, the first large-scale biological sample runaway incident occurred, and already a colleague had lost his life..."

As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the ward became extremely heavy. Ajie couldn't help but clench his fists: "How dare they do such a thing! How cruel and heartless!" At the same time, Lu Yining also had a vague feeling that there might be a bigger conspiracy behind this case that has yet to be revealed.

To get more details, Xiaoli took out her recording device and asked, "So, do you remember any specific information about the person behind this? For example, the hacking methods they used, their communication methods, etc."

Seeing this, the researcher thought for a moment before answering, "I remember that during the last intrusion, the system monitoring log showed that the IP address was from abroad... and I also received an email at the time. The content was something like, 'If you want to stop these catastrophic consequences, do as I ask.'"

Zhang Hao instantly became excited. "Great! This way, we can track the suspect's exact location online!" But he quickly realized another crucial point. "But according to normal procedures, such an operation should be approved by higher authorities. What do you think, Captain?"
