I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

In the dimly lit command post, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei sat nervously around a computer. The screen displayed footage from the laboratory interior, their eyes fixed on the document known as "Project Shadow." The information revealed in the document made their hearts race, and an unprecedented sense of urgency enveloped them.

Zhang Wanqing moved silently along the outer wall of the laboratory, her body pressed against the cold surface, each step carefully chosen to avoid attracting any attention. Her eyes were as sharp as a cheetah, capturing every tiny movement. She could feel the adrenaline surge through her body, the result of years of training and the key to her calmness in danger.

Her eyes scanned every corner of the lab, searching for possible traps and surveillance equipment. She noticed two guards at the back door, their eyes alert, weapons ready to fire. Zhang Wanqing's fingers gently touched the pistol at her waist, knowing she had to deal with them quickly and silently.

She took a deep breath, then moved like a ghost. Her movements were almost silent, only the soft thud of footsteps echoing through the empty corridor. She approached the guards, her hand swift and precise, striking their necks. Both men fell almost simultaneously, without a sound.

Zhang Wanqing quickly dragged them into the shadows and checked the door lock. She pulled a set of delicate tools from her pocket and began to carefully pick the lock. Her fingers were steady and quick, each movement full of confidence. After a few minutes, the lock gave a slight click and the door opened.

Fu Siyuan's fingers pounded across the keyboard, his eyes glued to the screen as the code streamed down like a waterfall. He could feel his heartbeat syncing with the click of his keyboard, each successful intrusion causing his heart to race faster. He knew he was racing against time, and every second counted.

He successfully accessed the lab's security system and began searching for blind spots. He discovered a pattern: every five minutes, the surveillance would briefly switch, which was the perfect time for them to sneak in. He quickly relayed this information to Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei.

At the same time, he was also looking for a diagram of the lab's internal layout and possible escape routes. He discovered an abandoned sewer system beneath the lab, which could be their escape route. He marked this information in preparation for the upcoming operation.

In their makeshift command post, Li Wei's fingers moved across the map, marking every possible entrance and escape route. His eyes were fixed on the map, his brain working rapidly, calculating every possible situation and response strategy.

He knew they had to act quickly, as the consequences would be disastrous if Project Shadow was implemented. He developed a detailed infiltration plan, including how to avoid surveillance, how to quickly find the core area of ​​the laboratory, and how to quickly retreat if discovered.

His voice was low and firm as he explained his plan to Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan. The three of them exchanged glances, knowing they were about to face a life-or-death struggle. But they also knew they had to do this for justice, for the sake of those innocent lives.

With Fu Siyuan's discovery of a blind spot in the surveillance footage, the three began their infiltration. Zhang Wanqing entered the lab first, her movements swift and silent, her figure weaving through the shadows like a ghost in the night. Fu Siyuan followed closely behind, his eyes glued to the surveillance screen, ready to alert Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei of any danger.

Li Wei was in charge of the rearguard, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly to make sure no one was following them. Their movements were coordinated and swift, they passed through the corridor of the laboratory and arrived at the door of the core area.

Zhang Wanqing used her lock-picking skills once again, and the door was quickly unlocked. They quietly entered the core area of ​​the laboratory, and the sight before them made their hearts skip a beat. In a huge glass container in the center of the laboratory, a human figure was suspended in green liquid, connected to countless tubes and wires, a look of extreme pain on his face.

They quickly approached the container. Zhang Wanqing's fingers gently touched the glass, and she could feel the coldness inside. Her eyes were fixed on the person inside, and a strong feeling of anger and sympathy surged in her heart. She knew they had to rescue this person quickly, otherwise he might die.

Fu Siyuan quickly checked the container's control system and found an emergency release button. He quickly pressed it, and the top of the container slowly opened, and green liquid began to discharge. Li Wei prepared first aid equipment, ready to immediately provide first aid to the man once the container was opened.

As the liquid drained, the person in the container began to cough violently. His eyes slowly opened, revealing a look of confusion and fear. Zhang Wanqing quickly climbed onto the container, her eyes fixed on the person. She could feel his vitality rapidly draining away.

"Hold on, we're here to save you." Zhang Wanqing's voice was firm and gentle, full of determination.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei stood in the core area of ​​the laboratory, facing the huge glass container. The figure inside was faintly visible in the green liquid. Their hearts beat violently in their chests, and each beat seemed to remind them that time was running out.

Fu Siyuan's fingers moved rapidly across the control panel of the container, his eyes fixed on the data on the screen, searching for the emergency release option. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but his fingers were unusually steady, and each tap was filled with determination.

"Found it!" he whispered, pressing the emergency release button. The top of the container slowly opened, and the green liquid began to rapidly discharge, making a gurgling sound, like the breathing of some creature.

Li Wei quickly prepared the first aid equipment, his eyes fixed on the person in the container, ready to immediately perform first aid once the container was opened. His hand tightly grasped the oxygen mask, his heartbeat violently in his chest, he knew that this person's life might be in his hands.

Zhang Wanqing stood beside the container, her eyes fixed on the person inside, a surge of anger and sympathy welling up in her heart. She could feel his vitality rapidly draining away, and she had to rescue him as soon as possible.

As the liquid drained out, the person in the container began to cough violently. His eyes slowly opened, revealing a look of confusion and fear. At this moment, the laboratory alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill sound echoed in the empty laboratory.

"Oh no, the self-destruct program has been activated!" There was a hint of panic in Fu Siyuan's voice. His eyes were fixed on the countdown on the console. The red numbers were jumping on the screen, like the countdown of death.

"We have to hurry!" Li Wei's voice was low and nervous. He quickly climbed onto the container, ready to pull the man out. He grabbed the man's arm tightly and pulled hard, and the man's body slowly slid out of the container.
