Chapter 39 Mysterious Codename Shadow
By the time Lin Che finished his night watch, it was already dawn. He gently woke the others.

"We need to act quickly." Xiao Ran rubbed his eyes and said, "That 'shadow' may be the key clue."

Su Wanqing nodded in agreement: "You are right. We should start with this mysterious person."

Lu Zhao took out his laptop and said, "I can help you look up some information."

Xiao Ran shook his head: "No, let me handle this kind of thing. I have some special channels."

He pulled out an encrypted cell phone and began contacting his intelligence network.

The others were busy with their own things. Lu Zhao sorted out his research notes, while Su Wanqing and Lin Che prepared food and equipment.

A few hours later, Xiao Ran put down his phone with a serious expression: "I have some discoveries."

Others gathered around immediately.

"According to the information provided by my informant, 'Shadow' is likely a high-level agent of an international biotechnology organization."

Xiao Ran said, "This organization involves top research institutions in multiple countries."

Su Wanqing frowned: "It sounds dangerous. How should we track it down?"

Xiao Ran spread out a map. "My informant provided several possible locations of the base. However, most of the information has been destroyed."

Su Wanqing's eyes lit up. "Perhaps I can help." She extended her hand, and a faint light flashed. "My spatial ability may be able to restore some of the destroyed information."

Xiao Ran looked at her in surprise: "Can you do such a thing?"

Su Wanqing nodded: "I can try. Show me the incomplete information."

Xiao Ran handed Su Wanqing a pile of shredded paper and burnt documents. She closed her eyes and gently placed her hands over the documents.

A faint light flashed, and the fragments began to reassemble, and the burnt parts gradually recovered.

"It's amazing." Lu Zhao exclaimed.

A few minutes later, Su Wanqing opened her eyes, a little tired: "I tried my best, but I can only recover partially."

Xiao Ran carefully examined the recovered files. "This is already very helpful. Look, it mentions Shadow's connections with multiple military, industrial, and biotech organizations."

Lin Che took a closer look and said, "Wait, I think I can crack this encrypted communication channel."

He stretched out his hand, and a drop of blue liquid oozed from his fingertips and dripped onto the document. The liquid quickly spread, forming a string of complex symbols.

"What is this?" Su Wanqing asked.

Lin Che closed his eyes, seemingly listening to something. "This is the key for an encrypted channel. I can hear some fragments of the communication."

"What can you hear?" Xiao Ran asked anxiously.

Lin Che frowned. "It was vague, but I heard the words 'experimental subject' and 'element'. And... wait, I think I heard the name 'Xiao Yu'."

Xiao Ran stood up suddenly: "Xiao Yu? My sister?"

The room was silent as everyone realized that things had become more complicated.

Lu Zhao broke the silence: "This means that your sister may have some connection with 'Shadow'."

Xiao Ran clenched his fists: "I must find her."

Su Wanqing comforted him, "We will help you together. But now we need more information."

Lin Che nodded. "I agree. We should continue to pursue clues about 'Dark Shadow'. Perhaps we can find out more about Xiao Yu."

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and tried to calm down. "You're right." Lu Zhao took out his notebook. "While you're investigating, I'll continue organizing my research notes for the 'Biological Reset Project'. Maybe I can find some useful information."

Su Wanqing looked at Lu Zhao: "Do you need my help to recover some files?"

Lu Zhao nodded gratefully. "That's great. Some key data was deleted. It would be great if it could be restored."

Xiao Ran began marking possible locations on the map. "We should split up. Lin Che, you and I will go investigate these locations. Su Wanqing, you stay here and help Lu Zhao recover the files."

Everyone agreed to the plan. Xiao Ran and Lin Che began preparing their equipment, while Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao studied the incomplete documents.

A few hours later, Xiao Ran and Lin Che were ready to set off.

"Be careful," Su Wanqing warned, "if you encounter danger, retreat immediately."

Xiao Ran nodded: "We will. You should also be careful. If you find anything, contact us immediately."

Lin Che checked her watch. "We should be back before sunset. If we're not back by then, we'll follow the contingency plan."

Lu Zhao handed them a small device. "This is a tracker I made. If you get into trouble, we can find you."

After Xiao Ran and Lin Che left, Su Wanqing turned to Lu Zhao and said, "Let's get started. I hope we can find something useful."

Lu Zhao nodded and turned on his computer: "I have sorted out some key research notes. But there are still many deleted parts that need to be restored."

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and put her hand on the document: "I will do my best."

As time passed, the only sounds left in the room were the typing of keyboards and Su Wanqing's light breathing.

Lu Zhao stared at the computer screen, beads of sweat oozing from his forehead.

"These pieces of data are so scattered, I need a more systematic way to integrate them."

Su Wanqing placed her palm on the pile of burnt documents, closed her eyes and concentrated.

A faint light flowed out from her fingertips, and the words on the document began to slowly appear.

"I felt that these documents were somehow connected, like pieces of a puzzle."

She opened her eyes and handed the recovered file to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao took the document and quickly scanned its contents. "This is part of the framework for the 'Biological Reset Plan.' It looks even more complicated than we imagined."

He built a data model on his computer and input all the collected information into it.

A huge network diagram gradually appeared on the screen, connecting multiple research institutions and project codes.

"This is astonishing," Su Wanqing said, staring at the screen. "This project involves top biotechnology research institutions in at least five countries."

Lu Zhao nodded: "Not only that, but there are also the participation of multiple military departments. These are all highly confidential collaborations."

Su Wanqing flipped through the military intelligence Xiao Ran had provided. "Wait, there's a project codenamed 'Bluebird' here, which seems to be related to the 'Blue Protocol' mentioned in your research data."

Lu Zhao quickly pulled up the relevant documents: "You're right. The two projects do have some overlap. The 'Bluebird' project is responsible for collecting special gene samples, while the 'Blue Protocol' is responsible for genetic modification experiments."

They continued analyzing the data, piecing together more information, and after a few hours, a rough outline began to take shape.

"We need Lin Che's help," Lu Zhao said, pointing to an encrypted file. "This data is specially encrypted, and I can't crack it."

At this moment, the communicator rang. It was Xiao Ran and Lin Che.
