He quickly scurried around to the window, attempting to peer outside. Just as he neared it, a sudden, massive explosion echoed, shaking the wall outside the door. Lin En was so frightened he nearly fell. His mind went blank, but his instantaneous reaction told him the situation had become urgent. The explosion wasn't an ordinary bomb; it was more like a precisely designed stun grenade, specifically designed to disrupt the target's vision.

Lynn quickly pressed the alarm button, trying to notify the team outside through the internal security system. But the moment he pressed the button, the door was suddenly pushed open, and an armed man in black combat uniform rushed in.

"FBI, put down your weapons!" the man ordered in a low voice with obvious threat in his tone.

Lin En quickly assessed the situation, still holding the gun. He knew this intrusion was no accident; the experimental organization had clearly been aware of their actions. Without time to think, Lin En reacted quickly, calmly turning and pointing the gun at the intruder.

However, the armed man seemed to have anticipated this. He quickly pulled out a pistol, held Lynn's arm with one hand, and pointed the gun at Lynn's chest.

"You think you can handle me?" the man sneered. "You have no idea how complicated these plans are. Even your 'heroes' are nothing but cannon fodder."

Lin En gritted his teeth, unwilling to give the enemy any weakness to exploit. He struggled to adjust his position, preparing to find an opportunity to counterattack during the brief standoff. At that moment, he felt his body being violently pushed back. The aftermath of the explosion and the violent impact briefly blurred his vision, but he quickly regained consciousness, drawing on years of experience.

"Damn it!" He cursed under his breath, turned around and quickly retreated to the door.

The armed man followed closely behind, his gun always pointed at Lin En, and he was gradually forced into a closed area. Lin En knew that if he did not react, he would soon be completely surrounded by the enemy.

He kicked a wooden door open, turned around and shot, shattering the window with a loud bang. Taking advantage of the enemy's panic, Lin En jumped out of the window and quickly ran into the alley below.

As soon as he ran out, he heard hurried footsteps behind him, clearly someone was chasing him. Lin En quickened his pace, using the buildings and shadows of the street to cover himself, and quickly disappeared around the corner.

He didn't look back, just ran as fast as he could. His heart was filled with tension and unease, realizing that there was more to this attack than just a simple warning. The experimental organization was clearly ready to take action, not just against him, but also Kate and perhaps even everyone around him.

He had to contact Kate as soon as possible, warn her of her safety, and reassess the upcoming action. Lynn stopped in the alley and quickly called Kate: "Kate, listen, be careful-"

However, after the phone rang a few times, it was busy. Lin En quickly hung up the phone, feeling uneasy.

"Kate must be under surveillance too." He gritted his teeth, gripping his phone tightly. "We can't delay any longer."

He lowered his head and quickly confirmed whether his equipment was complete, then silently made up his mind: "I must protect her as soon as possible. I can't let her become their target."

Lin En's heart raced as he rushed from the apartment building. He knew the attack was merely a warning. The experimental organization had realized they were pressing for the truth, and all these measures were intended to suppress their actions. Worse still, Kate, the only reporter with inside information, might become their new target. Lin En's heart was filled with anxiety. He had to contact Kate as soon as possible to ensure her safety.

Walking to the corner, Lin En called Kate, but the ringtone echoed several times in the empty street, and still no one answered. Lin En's brows furrowed, and his uneasiness gradually turned into anxiety. Just then, his phone suddenly vibrated, and Kate's name appeared on the screen.

"Kate?" Lynn answered the phone almost immediately, a hint of anxiety in her tone.

"Lynn, it's me." Kate's voice was clear and calm, but Lynn could sense the tension in it. "Are you okay? I just heard that you were attacked. What happened?"

Lynn responded hastily, "I'm fine, but I have to make sure you're safe too. Kate, you must immediately avoid all possible danger and leave where you are. I don't want you to get involved in this mess."

Kate clearly had no intention of extricating herself from this matter. "Lynn, don't underestimate me," she said firmly. "I'm ready to continue pursuing this story, not only to expose the truth, but also to protect those who are threatened. You know, this is not just a report about an experimental organization; it concerns everyone's safety."

"Kate, I can't let you go any further into this danger." Lin En said in a low voice, "I know you are persistent, but this time, you can't take any risks. The experimental organization has discovered our traces, and things are becoming increasingly dangerous."

"I understand, but I've made up my mind." Kate's tone was without any hesitation. "I won't back down, and I don't want you to fight alone. I have my own way, Linn. Don't worry, I can protect myself."

Lynn took a deep breath and his tone became more serious. "Kate, I cannot agree to your continued involvement in this operation. Our only goal now is to raid the base and uncover the truth, but we must maintain absolute secrecy and security. I don't want you to become their target."

"I understand your concerns, Lynn." Kate's voice became gentle. "But you should also know that I will not back down because of a momentary danger. I have my own channels and can get the necessary help. And, as you said, this matter is not just about you and me, but the story of everyone who has been harmed by the experimental organization."

Lynn was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone. He knew Kate would not change her mind easily once she was determined, but he still felt a strong sense of unease. Kate's persistence touched and worried him. She was always so determined, daring to face risks and not afraid of difficulties. However, this time, facing the huge power of the experimental organization, Lynn could not bear to let her take the risk alone. "Kate, I know you have your own way." Lynn's voice softened a little, "But please listen to me, if there is any danger, I want you to tell me first. We will face it together."

Kate seemed to sense the deep concern in Lynn's words and sighed softly: "I promise you, Lynn, but you must also remember that this is not just your battle. We are on the side of justice together."

After hanging up the phone, Lin En stood on the city street, taking in the hustle and bustle around him, a wave of inexplicable emotion welling up in his heart. He knew Kate's decision wouldn't change easily, and despite his best efforts to persuade her, her resolve was deeply rooted. However, Lin En's heart didn't relax because of her persistence; instead, he felt a deeper sense of responsibility and pressure.

Kate certainly had her own resources and strength, having successfully completed numerous challenging reporting projects independently, but this mission was unusual. Facing the vast machinations of the experimental organization, her independent actions could put her in grave danger. Lynn knew that if Kate truly delved into the conspiracy, they would face not only media scrutiny but also potential assassination by the experimental organization.

Lin En took a deep breath and calmed down. The next action must be more cautious, and Kate also needs to be protected.

Meanwhile, Kate sat in her office, mulling over her upcoming actions. She understood Lynn's concerns and his determination, but she also felt a sense of mission that couldn't be ignored. She believed she could help Lynn, and she trusted her own judgment.

Kate had already prepared some contingency plans. Leveraging her connections within the journalistic community, she contacted several old friends, all veterans who had previously investigated similar cases. Her collaboration with them had never been exposed, and they had a strong foundation of trust. Kate knew that with their help, Lynn would be able to obtain more inside information about the experimental organization and even secure the necessary support.

"Are you ready?" Kate called one of the senior reporters. A steady voice came from the other end of the line: "We are ready. What do you need from us?"

"We need to get some details about the inner workings of the Daedalus organization," Kate whispered. "Can you help me investigate the relevant information about this experimental base? I want to know their current situation and whether they have any further actions."

"I understand. We will send someone to investigate, but you know, there is usually not much direct evidence for such things. We will collect clues from the side and then provide you with further information." The other party responded.

Kate hung up the phone, still firmly sitting at her desk, the determination in her heart made her clearer than ever before. She knew that Lynn's concerns were not unfounded, but she had decided to take this battle to a deeper level - she would no longer be a bystander, but an important force standing on the front line.

As night fell, Lynn and Mark once again prepared for the raid, ensuring that nothing could go wrong. Meanwhile, Kate continued to gather and weave together different clues within her circle of reporters, secretly supporting Lynn.

After days of intense preparation, the team led by Lynn and Mark finally decided to launch a raid on the Daedalus experimental base located in a remote mountainous area. Intelligence gathered from Kate and the technical team revealed that this base was believed to be a core facility of the experimental organization, holding many innocent experimental subjects. Lynn knew that only by destroying this facility could he effectively stop the organization's evil deeds and rescue those forced into the experiments.

That night, they quietly passed through the base's defenses, utilizing darkness and drone reconnaissance to gradually approach the base's main gate. Lin En commanded the team to silently traverse the woods, avoiding patrols and surveillance equipment surrounding the base. Despite the base's exceptionally tight security, Lin En's years of experience in various raids enabled them to approach the core of the base without raising any alarm.

"Stay alert, we are about to break through the first line of defense." Lynn whispered the order, directing the team to move forward quietly through the thick woods.

"Yes, Inspector." Mark followed closely behind and continued to move forward with the team members.

As they drew closer to the base, the tension intensified. Lynn sensed that every step could mean the difference between life and death. He was fighting not only for the trapped people but also for his own and Kate's future. He knew that if this operation succeeded, he would not only uncover the true nature of the experimental organization but also bring a glimmer of hope to those innocent families.

Finally, they bypassed the base's outer security barriers and entered the inner area of ​​the experimental facility. Lin En carefully checked his communications equipment, confirming that the team's communication with headquarters was unimpeded. They cautiously approached the laboratory, a major building within the base. Through the windows, they could see rows of locked-up experimental subjects. Without exception, these individuals bore visible signs of body modification, clearly having become part of the "Daedalus" project.

"We're approaching our target and ready to begin the rescue," Lin En whispered to the team. "Remember, prioritize the safety of the prisoners. Don't let them get hurt."

The team nodded, quickly set up security around the perimeter, and began preparing to break down the door. Lin En pulled a portable laser cutter from his bag and carefully cut the lock on the lab door. The door swung open, and they cautiously entered, finding the test subjects trapped in iron cages, their eyes hollow and their bodies frail. No one had ever imagined that such biological modification could be used for the purpose of "enhanced humans."

Lynn quickly gave orders: "We need to rescue these people quickly and ensure their safe evacuation."

As the team began to open the cage, Lin En kept a keen eye on the movement around him. His intuition told him that this base held a deeper secret than they had imagined. He couldn't help but think of Alan's parents, and a surge of unease welled up within him. Since this base was the core of Daedalus, they might be hiding there. However, despite a thorough search by his team, they found no trace of Alan's parents.

"Lynn, everyone has been evacuated safely." Mark reported in a low voice, "The experimental subjects have been successfully transferred."

Lin En nodded, but his heart remained focused on rescuing these people. He scanned his surroundings once more, his eyes nervously searching every corner. Suddenly, he spotted a room hidden in a corner. The door was securely locked, with "Top Secret" written on it. Lin En's heart tightened, sensing that this was the key to their journey.

"Here." Lin En pointed at the door, a look of determination flashing in his eyes, "We need to go in." (End of this chapter)
