I was a rookie reporter in the 00s

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei were trapped in the secret base of the "Undercurrent" organization, facing wave after wave of guards. Their bullets rained down like raindrops, but the enemy seemed endless. Their physical strength was rapidly depleting, and their ammunition was gradually running out.

Zhang Wanqing's pistol grew heavy in her hand, each pull of the trigger requiring more effort. Fu Siyuan's sniper rifle began to heat up after continuous firing, and his eyes grew dry from staring at the scope for so long. Li Wei's communication device was hit in the fierce battle, sparks flying, and his voice became intermittent in the headset.

The battle in the laboratory became more and more intense, the alarm sounded shrilly, and the red emergency lights flashed in the room, adding a doomsday tone to the battle.

"Retreat! We can't go on like this!" Zhang Wanqing's voice sounded in the headset, and her eyes revealed a hint of determination.

Fu Siyuan nodded, a flicker of reluctance in his eyes, but he knew Zhang Wanqing was right. They had to conserve their strength, otherwise everything would end here.

Li Wei's voice rang out in the headset, hoarse and urgent: "I'll cover you, go!"

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan moved quickly toward the lab's exit, their footsteps echoing rapidly on the metal floor. Li Wei stayed behind, his pistol steady and powerful in his hand, each shot hitting its mark.

They walked through the dark corridors and returned to the entrance of the base. Zhang Wanqing quickly closed the entrance door, her eyes fixed on the door to make sure no one was chasing them.

The three of them returned to the outside world, the cold night wind slapping their faces, their hearts pounding in their chests. They could feel their adrenaline surge through their bodies, the key to keeping them calm in the face of danger.

They moved quickly through the city streets back to their hiding place.

Li Wei took a deep breath, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "I must contact my former colleagues, we need more support."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan looked at each other. They knew that this was a dangerous decision, but it was also their only choice.

Li Wei quickly dialed a number. His voice was low and firm: "It's me, Li Wei. I need your support. We are facing a huge conspiracy."

A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. It was his former boss. There was a hint of surprise in his voice, but more of a firm tone: "We're leaving right away. Where are you?"

Li Wei quickly told him their location, with a hint of anticipation in his voice. He knew that they would soon receive strong support and would have the opportunity to enter the base again and expose the conspiracy of the "Undercurrent" organization.

As night fell, the city streets were deserted, with only the dim streetlights swaying in the wind. A black van quietly stopped near their hiding place, and several snipers in black uniforms quickly got out of the car, their eyes cold and determined.

Li Wei quickly went up to them, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement: "You are here, we need your support."

The sniper captain nodded, a look of determination in his eyes: "We are ready. Tell us the plan."

Li Wei quickly explained their plan to them, his voice low and firm. They would reenter the base, use sniper fire to deal with the guards, and rescue the people who had been experimented on.

The sniper captain nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of anticipation: "We are ready, let's get started."

The snipers quickly entered the base and, without a doubt, eliminated all the guards in the base with precision.

Under the cover of night, the edge of the city was immersed in a dead silence, broken only by the occasional sirens. Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei retreated to the safe house with the snipers, their faces filled with frustration.

The guards at the base were suppressed, but the key evidence—the data recording the human experiments of the Dark Current organization—had been moved. They sat together in the dim light, a heavy silence hanging in the air.

Zhang Wanqing leaned against the wall, her eyes gazing out the window at the night, her thoughts as deep as the night itself. Her fingers tapped the grip of her pistol, each tap akin to her heartbeat. She knew they had lost a crucial opportunity, but more importantly, they had to find a new way.

Fu Siyuan sat in front of his computer, his eyes glued to the screen, his fingers tapping away rapidly on the keyboard. He was trying to track the data's whereabouts, hoping to find a clue.

"We can't give up like this." Zhang Wanqing's voice broke the silence, her eyes revealing a hint of determination, "We must find the data."

Fu Siyuan raised his head and said, "I'm trying to track the data, but the Dark Current organization is moving too fast. They seem to have anticipated what we would do."

Li Wei nodded, his voice low and firm: "We need more information, more clues. I contacted some old colleagues, and they are helping me collect intelligence."

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Li Wei quickly grabbed his pistol, his body tense, ready to deal with any possible danger. Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan also quickly prepared for battle.

The door slowly opened, and a figure in a black windbreaker appeared at the door. His eyes were alert, but when he saw Li Wei, a hint of relaxation flashed in his eyes.

"Li Wei, it's me." The man's voice was low and hoarse. He took off his sunglasses, revealing a familiar face.

Li Wei frowned, he recognized this man, he was his former colleague, someone who was well-known in the police station for collecting intelligence.

"I have what you need." The man took out a USB flash drive from his windbreaker and handed it to Li Wei.

Li Wei took the USB drive, his eyes revealing a hint of surprise: "What is this?"

The man's lips curled up into a smile. "This is some data from the Undercurrent organization. I risked my life to obtain it. It contains some records of their experiments, which may be helpful to you."

Zhang Wanqing and Fu Siyuan quickly gathered around, their eyes fixed on the USB drive. A glimmer of hope welled up in their hearts.

The three of them sat in front of the computer, their eyes fixed on the screen. Fu Siyuan quickly inserted the USB drive into the computer, his eyes fixed on the screen.

The screen displayed some encrypted files, which revealed some experimental records of the "Dark Current" organization. Although the data was incomplete, it was enough for them to find new clues.

"These records show that the 'Undercurrent' organization is moving their experiments to a new location." Fu Siyuan's voice was low and nervous, and there was a hint of excitement in his eyes.

Li Wei's face turned pale, he knew what this meant.
