Chapter 116 Memory Puzzle

In the dimly lit warehouse, Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei nervously watched over the man they had rescued from the laboratory. He lay on a worn bed, his brow furrowed, a look of pain flickering across his face. His memory was like shattered fragments, difficult to piece together. Their gazes were fixed on him, knowing that this man's memories might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the Undercurrent organization.

The man slowly closed his eyes, and some vague images flashed through his mind. He could see some people in white lab coats, some flashing screens and complex instruments.

"I... I remember..." His voice suddenly became firm, and a gleam flashed in his eyes. "I remember 'Project Shadow', I remember the super soldier..."

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei quickly gathered around him, their eyes fixed on his face. They knew his memory might be the key to uncovering the secrets of the Undercurrent organization.

"Tell me, what do you know?" Zhang Wanqing's voice was low and nervous, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes.

The man slowly recounted his memories, his voice low and trembling.

He recounted how the Dark Tide organization had kidnapped him and other agents, imprisoned them in a laboratory and subjected them to cruel experiments. He described how they had attempted to create super soldiers and control their minds and bodies.

There was a hint of fear in his voice and pain in his eyes as he recounted how he had managed to escape, how he had hidden his memories, until Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei rescued him.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei's eyes were fixed on the screen. They had just learned the location of the "Undercurrent" organization's secret base from the former agent's memories. They knew that this base concealed the core secrets of "Project Shadow" and was the key to uncovering the "Undercurrent" organization's conspiracy.

The man's memory gradually became clearer. His voice was low and trembling as he described the secret base of the Dark Current organization. He said that the base was hidden beneath the city, a vast laboratory where all kinds of illegal human experiments were conducted. He remembered that there were countless rooms there, each filled with screams of pain and despair.

Zhang Wanqing's brows were furrowed, her eyes fixed on the man. Her voice was low and nervous: "Are you sure? This base really exists?"

The man nodded, his eyes revealing a hint of determination: "I'm sure, I saw it with my own eyes."

Fu Siyuan quickly turned on his computer, his eyes fixed on the screen, his fingers tapping away at the keyboard. He was searching for the base's location, hoping to find some clues. He knew it might be the key to uncovering the secrets of the Undercurrent organization.

The three of them sat around a worn table, their eyes fixed on a map. The map marked the location of the secret base, and they were formulating a plan to infiltrate it. They knew the base was heavily guarded, so they had to proceed with caution.

Zhang Wanqing's fingers moved across the map. Her voice was low and firm: "We enter from here. The defense here is the weakest."

Fu Siyuan nodded, his eyes fixed on the map, his finger moving on the map: "We can set up a jammer here to attract the guards' attention."

Li Wei was inspecting the equipment, his fingers gently sliding over the cold metal, feeling the contours of each piece of equipment. His voice was low and firm: "We must prepare all the equipment, including weapons and communication equipment."

As night fell, the city streets were deserted, with only the dim streetlights swaying in the wind. Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei, all dressed in black nightgowns, loomed in the night. Their eyes were fixed on the horizon, their hearts pounding in their chests.

They approached the entrance of the secret base silently, their bodies pressed against the wall, taking every step carefully to avoid attracting any attention. They could feel their adrenaline surge in their bodies, the result of years of training and the key to their ability to remain calm in danger.

Zhang Wanqing gently pried open the lock at the entrance. Her movements were swift and silent, her body moving through the shadows like a ghost in the night. Fu Siyuan followed closely behind, his eyes fixed on the surveillance screen, ready to alert Zhang Wanqing and Li Wei of any danger.

Li Wei provided support from the rear, his eyes scanning the surroundings vigilantly to make sure no one was following them. Their movements were coordinated and swift, as they passed through dark corridors and arrived at the core area of ​​the base.

Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei stood in the core area of ​​the "Undercurrent" organization's secret base. The sight before them made their hearts skip a beat. Inside the vast laboratory, countless human bodies were suspended in rows of transparent containers, their faces etched with expressions of extreme pain. Tubes and wires entwined themselves like parasitic plants, draining their life force.

Zhang Wanqing's brow furrowed, her eyes fixed on the containers. A surge of anger and sympathy welled up in her heart. She could feel her hands trembling, a feeling she had never experienced before. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself.

"We must save them." Her voice was firm and low, and her eyes revealed an unquestionable determination.

Fu Siyuan's face was pale, his eyes fixed on the containers, trying to find a way to close them. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, but his fingers were unusually steady, and every tap was full of determination.

"We can't act rashly. After all, the three of us are no match for a group of people," said Li Wei.

Zhang Wanqing's brows were furrowed, her eyes fixed on the containers, and a strong sense of anger and sympathy surged in her heart. She knew that they had to rescue these people as soon as possible, otherwise they 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 drain out. Li Wei prepared first aid equipment, ready to immediately provide first aid to the people once the container was opened.

As the liquid drained, the people in the container began to cough violently, their eyes slowly opening, revealing confusion and fear. Zhang Wanqing quickly climbed onto the container, her eyes fixed on these people. She could feel their vitality rapidly draining away.

"Hold on, we're here to rescue you."

However, the rescue operation did not go smoothly. The laboratory alarm suddenly sounded, and the shrill sound echoed in the empty laboratory. Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei's hearts suddenly jumped. They knew they had been discovered.

A group of guards in black suits quickly rushed into the laboratory. Their eyes were cold and ruthless, and the weapons in their hands flashed coldly in the dim light.

Li Wei quickly pulled out his pistol and she moved her body quickly, looking for cover.

The battle raged inside the laboratory, bullets whistling through the air and explosions echoing all around. Zhang Wanqing, Fu Siyuan, and Li Wei, relying on their excellent fighting skills and tacit cooperation, successfully resisted the guards' attack.

"Let's retreat first. When we get back, we'll discuss it and get backup to rescue those people." Li Wei said.

So the three of them had to retreat.

"We have been discovered this time. By the time we get backup, they may have already moved away. What should we do, Li Wei?" Fu Siyuan asked.

"Brother, what are you worried about? The monk can run away, but the temple cannot. Don't think that we policemen are cowards. Although I am not a policeman now, I am still a tough guy. I will call all my brothers when I go back and let you see how powerful a sniper is!" Li Wei said proudly.

"A sniper, is it the kind that kills a bad guy with one shot?" Zhang Wanqing asked curiously.

"Yes! Kill one with one shot!" Li Wei said as he made a gesture of aiming the camera and shooting.
