Chapter 172 The Secret of the Experimental Base!
After becoming a soldier, Steve had more time to think and did some reading.

But this was the first time Steve had read such a professional book.

Therefore, many words in each book are extremely unfamiliar to Steve.

For this purpose, Lynn specially asked Friday to provide Steve with an extra translator.

This translator can give Steve the most complete explanation in a timely manner when he encounters words he doesn't understand.

At the same time, a series of related historical events can be brought up for this word to help Steve understand the corresponding word.

After so many days of reading, Steve's understanding of this society has become a little deeper.

The more he reads and the more he understands, the deeper his understanding of today's society becomes.

Especially with the existence of an artificial intelligence like Friday.

Many things that Steve encountered in society would be immediately connected by Friday to the knowledge in the book and taught on the spot.

The more Steve understood this society, the more he felt its darkness.

Thinking back to his original purpose of joining the army, he finally understood that the future described in these books was the society he wanted to see.

Steve glanced up at Stark.

"Friday, explain to him what I'm reading right now."

As Stark listened to Friday's explanation, the look in his eyes when he looked at Steve became more and more strange.

Unlike the captain, Stark has received a complete university education.

Although their university does not teach any ideological education, Stark himself will also learn some of the corresponding philosophy courses.

Steve didn't have a deep understanding of the book he was reading, but he still knew the most basic concepts.

Looking at Steve, Stark only felt that there seemed to be a faint red light coming out of his body.

"Why do you suddenly want to watch this?"

Stark was curious.

He didn't have much of a feeling about the captain reading these books.

"Lynn told me that America needed a change, that society needed a change, and recommended that I read these books and then tell him what I thought."

Hearing this, Stark, who was about to leave, turned back immediately.

"You mean, Lynn told you that the Earth needs a change, and the theme of the change is... these?"

Stark pointed a finger at the book in Steve's hand.

Steve nodded heavily.

"Lynn didn't say it explicitly, but I think he probably wants to change in this direction."

"Why, seeing me reading these books, are you scared, big capitalist?"

"How could I be afraid? I'm not some big capitalist."

The corners of Stark's mouth twitched.

"I'm a conscientious businessman. The employee benefits at Stark Industries are among the best in the world."

If Captain just wanted to understand these ideas, even if Captain wanted to make some changes to the world, Stark would not have any idea at all.

How can this society change so easily?

The entanglement of so many interests is too complicated to be handled by one person alone.

But if this person is Lynn, Stark will have to think carefully about his future position on Earth.

There is no doubt that Lynn is truly capable of bringing about a revolution that will affect all of humanity.

Stark touched his chin and decided to have a good chat with Lynn.

Although he is not the largest capitalist in the world, he is definitely among the top.

Once a change really happens, this group of people will definitely be the first to be affected.

While he was thinking, Lynn's portal opened and he appeared in the office.

"Huh? What day is it today? Why are you two here?"

"I heard you're planning to start a revolution around the world?"

Stark stared at Lynn.

Glancing at Stark, Lynn couldn't help but laugh.

"What makes you think that? Who told you that?"

Stark nodded, and Lynn only then noticed the captain, who had his head buried behind a book with a smile on his face.

"It won't be a revolution, but if I can push human society forward a little bit, I'll be very satisfied."

Linn waved his hand.

"You don't think I let the captain see this just to push the entire human world towards a harmonious society, do you?"

"I don't have that ability, and neither do you. I can't do it, and neither can you, and neither can the captain, and neither can Friday."

Lynn spread her hands.

"You and I both know that we're not the kind of people who can navigate the political arena, so we can use the power we have to push society forward, to move forward, even if it's just a small step..."

"enough."

Stark breathed a sigh of relief.

"I really thought you were going to start a revolution. Wouldn't I be the first unlucky one?"

Lynn gave Stark a strange look.

"Strictly speaking, we do need to take action against America."

"However, how to do it specifically still depends on the captain's ideas."

"I?"

The captain was stunned for a moment.

Lynn nodded heavily.

"If it's not you, then how could it be me?"

"hiss……"

Steve gasped.

He originally thought that Lin En asked him to read these books just to persuade him, but he did not expect that Lin En asked him to read these books in order to let him lead this revolution.

Elsewhere, the night was as dark as ink. The lights of Manhattan twinkled outside the FBI headquarters, as if countless eyes were watching. Lin En had just returned from a mission when he received an emergency recall order. His heart was filled with confusion and anxiety. Could another major case have occurred?
Entering the headquarters building, Lin En walked quickly through the busy office area and headed straight for his boss's office. When the door opened, he saw his boss sitting at his desk with a serious expression, holding a document in his hand.

"Lynn, you're back." The boss's voice was low and powerful.

"Yes, sir. I came here right after I got off the plane." Lin En answered, looking directly at his boss, trying to read something from the other's eyes.

The boss handed him the document in his hand and said: "This mission is very special. We need you to interrogate a mutant."

Lin En took the document and quickly glanced through it. Mutants? This is not common. He looked up: "Mutants? What's going on?"

"This mutant is named Hans, and he escaped from a secret experimental base a few days ago. We need to get the specific location and situation of that experimental base from him." The boss explained.

Lin En frowned: "Mutants... this may not be easy to interrogate."

"I know your abilities, Lynn. You are the best interrogation agent here, and I believe you can handle him." The boss patted his shoulder, his tone full of trust.

Lin En nodded without saying anything else. He was fully aware of the importance of this mission and the weight of the burden on his shoulders.

The interrogation room was located deep underground in the FBI headquarters. It was dark, damp, and filled with an oppressive atmosphere. Standing outside the door, Lin En took a deep breath and adjusted himself. Then, he pushed the door open and walked in.

In the interrogation room, Hans was strapped securely to the interrogation chair, his eyes closed, as if he were in a deep sleep. But Lynn knew this was only an appearance. Mutants have a far superior sense of perception than ordinary people, and they can often sense danger immediately.

"Hans, wake up." Lynn said softly, his voice echoing in the interrogation room, sounding particularly clear.

Hans slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shrinking instantly, obviously surprised by Lin's appearance. He struggled to break free from the restraints, but found it was all in vain.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?" Hans' voice was hoarse and low, with a hint of vigilance.

"I'm FBI agent Lynn Harvey." Lynn walked up to Hans and stared at him with a sharp gaze. "I want to talk to you."

"What are you talking about? I don't know anything." Hans turned his head away, trying to avoid Lynn's gaze.

Lin En chuckled. "Hans, stop pretending. We know you escaped from that experimental base. Now, I want to know the specific location and situation of that base."

Hans's eyes flashed with panic, but he quickly calmed down: "I don't know what you are talking about. I didn't do anything."

Lin En didn't rush. He slowly walked to Hans' side, lowered his head and whispered, "Hans, don't think I'm bluffing. We already have enough evidence to prove that you are related to that experimental base. Now, you are just wasting each other's time."

Hans was silent for a moment, then he said, "Even if I knew, I wouldn't tell you. You FBI people are a bunch of hypocrites who only know how to take advantage of others."

Lin En shook his head. "Hans, you're wrong. We're not using you; we want to help you. You know exactly what that experimental base did to you. Don't you want revenge?"

Hans' body trembled slightly, clearly touched by Lin's words. But he quickly regained his composure. "Revenge? Just you guys? Don't be ridiculous."

"Why not give it a try?" Lynn continued, "At least, you can tell us what you know and let us investigate. Perhaps we can find that base and expose their crimes. That way, you can be freed."

Hans lowered his head, lost in thought. A brief silence fell in the interrogation room, echoed only by the breathing of the two men. After a long moment, Hans finally raised his head and looked at Lin En. "Okay, I'll tell you. But you have to keep me safe."

Lin En nodded: "Of course. We will do everything we can to protect you."

Hans took a deep breath and began to recount his experiences. He was originally an ordinary person, but due to an accident, he was captured at the experimental base. There, he underwent countless experiments and torture, and eventually became what he is now - a mutant with special abilities.

"They locked me up in a dark place and injected me with various drugs every day. I was in so much pain that I wanted to commit suicide several times. But fortunately, I escaped in the end." Hans' voice trembled, and it was obvious that the experience was still vivid in his mind.

Lin En listened to Hans's narration, his heart filled with anger and sympathy. He secretly vowed to find the experimental base and bring the criminals to justice.

"Where is that base?" Lynn asked.

Hans hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "In... an abandoned factory outside of New York. It's hidden deep there, and it's hard for you to find it."

Lin En wrote down this information and continued, "What else? What else is in that base?"

Hans closed his eyes, as if unwilling to recall those horrific scenes. But with Lynn's encouragement, he continued, "There are many mutants like me there, all imprisoned in different rooms. There are also some scientists and doctors who conduct various experiments every day..."

Hans's narration horrified Lynn. He couldn't imagine how those innocent people spent every day in that horrific experimental base.

As night fell, Manhattan's neon lights flickered in the rain, casting a veil of mystery over the bustling city. Inside FBI headquarters, Lynn Harvey stood in the center of the conference room, his gaze firm and resolute, as if he could pierce the night and gaze directly at the unknown danger.

"Everyone, we just received important clues about that experimental base from Hans." Lynn's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the quiet conference room. "This is a secret experimental base hidden in an abandoned factory outside New York. They are not only conducting illegal mutant experiments, but also imprisoning many innocent people. Our mission is to find this place, rescue the victims, and bring the criminals to justice."

Lin En's subordinates were solemn, knowing the difficulty and importance of this mission. No one raised any objections, as everyone believed in Lin En's leadership and the strength of their team.

"The action plan is as follows..." Lin En began to arrange the tasks in detail. His words were clear and organized. Everyone listened carefully, afraid of missing any details.

However, just as Lin En finished explaining the action plan and was about to arrange the division of labor, the door of the conference room was suddenly and roughly pushed open. A group of unidentified people wearing black uniforms and masks rushed in, holding submachine guns and looking menacing.

"Don't move! Hand over Hans!" roared the leading man in black. His voice was hoarse and cold, as if it came from the depths of hell.

Lin En reacted quickly. He signaled his men to remain calm and stood in front of Hans. "Who are you? What do you want to do?"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hand Hans over to us, or don't blame us for being rude!" The man in black pointed a gun at Lin En and threatened.

Lin En's eyes were like torches. He stared intently into the eyes of the man in black. "Where do you think this is? FBI headquarters! How dare you act so recklessly here?"

The man in black sneered, "So what if it's the FBI? We're not afraid! Today, we must take Hans away!"

With that, the man in black waved his hand, and his companions immediately dispersed, surrounding Lin En and his men. The atmosphere instantly became tense and suffocating, as if a string would break at any moment.

Lin En knew that if these people took Hans away, all their previous efforts would be wasted. He had to protect Hans while also ensuring the safety of his men.

"Don't be impulsive!" Lin En whispered to his men, "Stay calm and look for opportunities to counterattack."

Seeing that Lin En refused to yield, the men in black grew furious. They began firing indiscriminately, attempting to force Lin En into submission. Bullets flew through the conference room, narrowly avoiding the vital points of Lin En and his men.

"Lin En, what should we do?" a subordinate asked anxiously.

"Don't panic!" Lin En said in a deep voice, "We still have a chance. Everyone, follow my command and charge out together!"

As he spoke, Lin En took advantage of the moment when the men in black were distracted and shoved Hans towards the nearby safety passage. At the same time, he quickly drew his pistol and opened fire at the men in black. His men followed suit, dodging bullets and fighting back.

The conference room instantly turned into a battlefield, with gunfire and shouting intertwined in a deafening cacophony. Lin En and his men fought and retreated, using the tables and chairs in the conference room as cover, skillfully maneuvering with the men in black.

However, the firepower of the men in black was too strong, and Lin En and his men gradually felt powerless. They were forced into a corner of the conference room and were in a precarious situation.

"Lynn, this isn't a solution!" one of his men shouted.

"I know!" Lin En shouted, "Everyone, hold on a little longer! Support will be here soon!"

Just as Lin En and his men were on the verge of death, the door to the conference room was pushed open again. This time, it was FBI reinforcements who arrived. They quickly joined the battle and fought against the men in black together with Lin En and his men.

Seeing the situation was dire, the men in black began to retreat, firing their guns to cover their movements as they retreated toward the door. Lin En and his men seized the opportunity to strike back, pursuing them relentlessly, determined to bring these criminals to justice.

After a fierce battle, the men in black were finally driven back. They left behind several bodies and a cache of weapons as they fled the FBI headquarters. Although Lynn and his men were slightly injured, they managed to save Hans and their own lives.

"Is everyone okay?" Lynn asked with concern.

"It's okay!" the subordinates answered one after another.

Lin En breathed a sigh of relief: "Great. We have to get out of here quickly to prevent them from attacking again."

With that, Lin En, his men, and Hans quickly left the meeting room. They walked through the corridor and arrived at a safe place. Lin En immediately contacted his superiors, reported the situation, and requested additional personnel to protect Hans.

"Lin, you've done a great job," the superior praised over the phone. "We will immediately dispatch additional personnel to ensure Hans's safety. At the same time, we will also launch an investigation to find out the identities and origins of those men in black."

"Thank you, sir," Lin En said. "We will continue to pursue clues about the experimental base and take action as soon as possible."

After hanging up the phone, Lin En looked at the tired but determined faces of his subordinates, his heart filled with emotion and pride.
