Lynn was silent for a moment, then nodded. "I understand. But trust can't be built in a vacuum; it must be proven through action. I will adjust the plan as soon as possible, get everyone involved, and ensure we don't repeat the same mistake again."

Eric managed to calm down and sighed, "I hope you're right, Lynn. I don't want to go through another failed operation."

John breathed a sigh of relief, looked at the two of them, and said, "Very good, this is what we should do. Next, we need to make a more precise plan and try to reduce the tension within the team."

Lynn looked at John, a hint of gratitude in his tone: "Thank you, John. Your sanity is crucial to this mission."

Eric didn't say anything else, but just sat back in his chair silently, with a hint of uneasiness still on his face.

Shortly after.

The declassified experimental data finally revealed a key location - a secret experimental base on the east coast. Lynn brought this information to the conference room and projected satellite images and internal structure diagrams of the base.

"According to the decrypted data," Lin En said, pointing to a building complex on the image, "this base appears to be one of their core experimental locations. The data mentions that key experimental samples and equipment are stored here. If these resources can be destroyed or seized, their experimental progress will be greatly delayed."

Eric leaned back in his chair, frowned, and said, "This place looks like a fortress. If we attack directly, it's likely to provoke a fierce counterattack, or even alert the enemy."

Lin En nodded in agreement. "That's why we can't act rashly. My suggestion is to infiltrate in batches. First, send a reconnaissance team to confirm the specific defense layout and the location of the laboratory, and then send in the main force to carry out precision strikes."

John walked over to the map, staring at the coastline. "Approaching from here might be the safest route. The vegetation near the coast is dense and can provide cover. But we need to be careful. Satellite images show that they may have surveillance and sensors deployed around them."

The technician added, "We can use jamming equipment to block some of the surveillance signals during the operation, but this may also trigger their alarms, and the time window is very short."

Lin En nodded. "So the first reconnaissance team must act quickly and leave no traces. Once the internal layout is confirmed, the second team can move at night and directly infiltrate the core laboratory area."

Eric looked at Lynn, his tone more trusting. "Are you sure this method of infiltration in batches will work? If the first group is discovered, the entire operation may fail."

"Every action carries risks," Lynn replied, his eyes firm. "But this is the way to minimize losses. Furthermore, we must trust in the team's abilities."

After the meeting, the team quickly began preparations. The first reconnaissance team, led by Lin En himself, chose to operate late at night, using the coastline as cover to quietly approach the experimental base.

After passing through the dense vegetation, Lin En raised his hand to signal the team to stop. He used a telescope to observe the base's outer defenses and found multiple monitoring devices and automatic sensors distributed around the base.

"The sensors are about 50 meters apart," Lynn whispered, "but there's a blind spot. We need to go around here to get close to the main building."

The team carefully avoided the sensors and successfully sneaked into a hidden corner outside the base. From here, they could clearly see the entrance to the laboratory area and the armed guards patrolling back and forth.

"There are at least five armed men at the entrance, and a drone patrolling overhead," Lin En reported in a low voice into the communicator. "We need to jam the drone signal to ensure the second team can break through here."

The technician responded over the remote channel: "Understood. Jamming equipment is ready. Just need your signal."

"Stay hidden." Lin En whispered to the team members, "We will observe for another five minutes and then evacuate."

After ensuring there were no further anomalies, the reconnaissance team quietly withdrew, bringing back detailed intelligence. Lin En returned to headquarters and presented the findings to the second team.

"This is their patrol route and schedule," Lin En said, pointing to a hand-drawn map. "We can use drone signal interference to create a gap and attack the core laboratory directly."

Eric nodded: "Okay, we will act tomorrow night. We must succeed in one go."

Lin En's eyes swept over all the team members present, and his tone was calm: "Remember, this is a high-risk operation. Our goal is to seize data and samples and minimize conflicts. If anyone is discovered, the others must immediately cover and evacuate."

Late at night, the second team quietly approached the base's perimeter. Jamming equipment successfully blocked the drones and some surveillance cameras. Lin En led the team through the blind spot and quickly entered the base.

The base was eerily silent, with only the low-pitched hum of the lab equipment filling the air. Lin En gestured for the team to split into two groups. One group would continue to survey the surroundings, while the other, led by him personally, would head toward the core lab.

Suddenly, a low roar echoed from the distance, followed by the sharp sound of metal clashing. The team members quickly raised their guns and stood guard. Lin En whispered, "Stay in formation! Don't disperse."

As soon as the words left his mouth, a gigantic experimental subject suddenly leaped out from the shadows. Its skin was pale, its muscles twisted, and its eyes were filled with violent anger. Its movements were astonishingly fast. One team member was caught off guard and was thrown to the ground, his weapon slipping away.

"Fire!" Lin En ordered decisively, and the team members immediately fired at the experimental subject. The bullets hit the target, but the experimental subject seemed insensitive to ordinary ammunition, only slightly slowing its movements before continuing to rush towards the team members frantically.

Lin En quickly switched to tranquilizer mode and fired several rounds at the subject's joints and head. The subject finally let out a painful roar, his movements becoming sluggish, and he eventually collapsed.

"Everyone be careful," Lynn said calmly, "This isn't the last one."

As he expected, more experimental subjects emerged from all directions. These mutant creatures had different shapes, some were huge, some had deformed limbs, but they all had one thing in common - they were hostile to the team members and attacked them crazily.

Lin En led his team to a steady and cautious attack, using formations and cover to gradually suppress the offensive of the experimental subjects. He directed his team to use special tranquilizer bullets and high-voltage nets to knock down the experimental subjects one by one while keeping the team intact.

"They're using these test subjects to buy time," Eric whispered through the communicator. "We must find the core lab as soon as possible." "Understood." Lin En quickly analyzed the surroundings and led the team deeper along the test subjects' attack path. He speculated that these creatures were artificially controlled and their origin must be related to the core lab.

Finally, the team stopped in front of a heavy metal door. This door was obviously different from other areas. It was equipped with a complex fingerprint and iris scanning system.

"This is their core facility." Lin En whispered, "Technical team, come and crack the door lock."

The technicians quickly stepped forward and began connecting equipment to crack the system. But at this moment, another wave of test subjects came from the other end of the corridor, more numerous than before and more violent.

"Cover the technical team!" Lin En ordered, aiming his gun at the same time. He knew that if they couldn't guard this door, they would not be able to enter the core laboratory.

The team formed a semicircular defense, concentrating their firepower to suppress the experimental subjects' attacks. Lin En constantly moved within the team, directing the team members to adjust their positions while personally dealing with the most threatening targets.

The technicians finally cracked the code, and the metal door slowly swung open, revealing a vast laboratory filled with high-tech equipment. Within the transparent incubator at the center of the lab, several experimental samples floated quietly, each displaying varying degrees of mutation.

"Quick, collect all the data and samples!" Lin En commanded the team to quickly enter the laboratory. "We don't have much time!"

The team members began downloading data using portable devices and placing key samples into special transport boxes. Meanwhile, the attacks from the experimental subjects outside became increasingly fierce, and the defense line gradually became tight.

"Time's up!" Eric's voice came from the communicator, "Evacuate! Evacuate immediately!"

Lin En glanced at the lab, confirmed that all important data and samples had been collected, and decisively ordered: "Everyone retreat! Don't fight!"

The team evacuated the laboratory in an orderly manner, using cover to distance themselves from the test subjects. They eventually broke through and returned to the rendezvous point outside the base, where they met up with the reinforcement team that had arrived to support them.

"We've brought out the data and samples," Lynn panted. "But this is just the beginning. We need to analyze this information as quickly as possible to find out their complete plan."

Eric patted his shoulder with a tired smile on his face: "Good command, Inspector. At least this time, our efforts were not in vain."

Lynn led his team deep into the core area of ​​the experimental base and finally found William Coleman in a control room at the deepest part. He stood beside the control console, his expression calm, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard, seemingly not surprised by Lynn's arrival.

"You're finally here, Inspector." William turned around slowly, a hint of indifference in his eyes. "You've kept me waiting for a long time."

Lin En raised his gun, his eyes sharp. "Coleman, stop struggling in vain. This is all over. Give up your plan and come back with us. You still have a chance of leniency."

William chuckled and shook his head: "Leniency? You are too naive, Lin En. You don't understand what my experiment is for."

"I know what you're doing," Lynn said in a cold tone. "You're using the lives of innocent people to advance the so-called 'Enhanced Mutant Project,' creating out-of-control monsters and disrupting social order. Every step you take is trampling on morality and the law."

"Monsters?" William's smile turned sarcastic. "In my eyes, they are the next step in human evolution. I'm just accelerating the process. If you have any foresight, you should support my research instead of trying to stop me like old-fashioned fools."

Lin En was not angered. He slowly took a step forward and continued, "Your so-called 'evolution' is nothing more than satisfying the greed of a few people. The business tycoons who fund you don't care about the future of mankind, but how to use genetic technology to make huge profits. You are just their pawn, William."

William's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "I won't deny their motives, but my research is unstoppable. Even if you catch me today, the plan will continue. You can't change anything."

"This is not your decision." Lynn pointed the gun at William and said in a firmer tone, "This is your last warning. Give up resistance. Stop now and you can still leave alive."

William stared at Lin En in silence for a few seconds, then suddenly revealed a strange smile. He reached out and pressed a button on the console, whispering, "I'm prepared."

The metal door swung open, and a towering, muscled, augmented mutant emerged from the shadows. His eyes were hollow, but his movements were swift, clearly under complete control. William retreated behind the mutant, a look of triumph on his face. "You thought you'd won, but I still have one last trump card."

"Don't do this, William." Lynn didn't back down and continued to persuade him, "Do you really think this kind of violence can solve the problem? You're digging your own grave!"

The mutant roared and charged at Lynn. Lynn dodged quickly, and the other team members opened fire, but the mutant's skin seemed immune to ordinary bullets. His speed was astonishing, and he knocked one of the team members to the ground in just a few hits.

"Specialized ammunition!" Lynn shouted, switching to tranquilizer bullets. The team members followed his instructions, accurately shooting at the mutant's joints and head.

The mutant was affected by the tranquilizer bullet and his movements began to slow down, but he was still struggling stubbornly. Lynn took the opportunity to get close to him and trapped him with a high-voltage electric grid, eventually subduing him.

Seeing this, William tried to escape in the chaos, but was stopped by Lin En. He pointed his gun at William's leg and said coldly, "Don't move, or I will show no mercy."

William stopped, his composure finally vanishing, a hint of fear on his face. He raised his hands and said slowly, "Okay, Lynn, you win. But you know what? You're not stopping me, you're stopping the future of humanity."

Lin En didn't respond, but simply put the handcuffs on his wrists and said into the communicator: "The target has been controlled, the core experimental facility has been cleared, and support evacuation is requested."

With William under control, Lynn commanded the team to act quickly. They had a clear division of labor: one group was responsible for ensuring the safe transfer of William and the uniformed enhanced mutants, while the other group began to clean up and destroy the experimental base.

The core experimental equipment was located behind the control room, a large space filled with high-tech instruments. The machines here were still running, and in the transparent incubators floated undeveloped experimental subjects, each one appearing misshapen and fragile. Lin En looked at these incubators, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. (End of this chapter)
