"Wait, Captain Zhou, there's a new situation..." Xiao Zhao's voice suddenly became urgent. An unexpected signal source appeared on the screen, powerful and mysterious, obviously belonging to an undiscovered high-end player.
"Who is it? Who else could jump out and disrupt the situation at a time like this?" Zhang Zhendong frowned, his tone full of confusion.
Zhou Wenjun stared at the source of the signal, his eyes showing both alertness and curiosity: "No matter who they are, since they have chosen to show up, it means that this game is far from over. We are ready to face the final challenge."
"It seems that we have to wait a little longer for our peaceful life." Xiao Zhao smiled bitterly, but there was no retreat in his eyes, only a firmer determination.
"Yes, but as long as we are together, the light is always worth waiting for." After Zhou Wenjun finished speaking, the command room once again fell into a tense state of preparation. Everyone understood that this was not just a fight against an unknown enemy, but also to protect the bright place in their hearts.
"Then, let's solve this mystery together." Wang Qiang said, and walked out of the command room first, followed closely by the other three. The backs of the four people stretched out under the lights, and they stepped forward unswervingly towards the unknown challenge.
【878】The fun part is coming. Let’s see your level.
"New player, interesting." Zhang Zhendong muttered to himself, his hand unconsciously touching the equipment on his waist, "I hope you are ready, because the rules of the game are determined by us."
Xiao Zhao quickly locked onto the location of the mysterious signal source. The cursor on the screen flickered, like a hunter finding prey. "The signal source is located in an abandoned factory area in the western suburbs of the city. The terrain there is complex and very suitable for hiding."
"The abandoned factory is one of the old nests of 'Shadow'. They chose this place to restart the game. They really have ulterior motives." Wang Qiang flipped through the previous case records, trying to find any possible connections.
Zhou Wenjun hesitated for a moment, then his eyes were firm, "No matter who the other party is or what their purpose is, tonight, we will make everything clear. Zhang Zhendong, you lead a group of people to attack from the front and create pressure. Xiao Zhao, you continue to support from the rear and ensure that our information flows smoothly. Wang Qiang, you and I will go around from the flank and look for their weak spot."
"Got it!" The three of them said in unison, their fighting spirit high.
The night became darker, the moon was hidden, and the stars were hidden. The four people set out separately, like ghosts in the night, approaching the target silently. In the abandoned factory area, the dilapidated buildings creaked in the night wind, and an uneasy premonition filled the air.
"The action begins." Zhang Zhendong's deep voice came from the headset, followed by a series of hurried footsteps and the sound of metal collisions in close combat, and the war instantly broke out on the front battlefield.
Xiao Zhao was in the back, his fingertips jumping, building an indestructible firewall in the virtual battlefield, ensuring that every step of his teammates' actions could receive timely feedback. The code on the screen scrolled like flowing water, and his eyes were focused and sharp, as if he could see through the secrets behind the data.
Zhou Wenjun and Wang Qiang shuttled between the abandoned factories. Their movements were agile and stealthy, and every step was carefully calculated. Wang Qiang suddenly stopped and pointed to a blind spot of surveillance. "From here, we can directly reach their core area. I want to end this myself."
The two exchanged a tacit glance, and then sneaked into the target building like a ghost. The internal structure was intricate, but Zhou Wenjun quickly found the way to the main control room with his rich experience.
"It's here." Zhou Wenjun slowly pushed open the door, and the scene in front of them stunned them all - in the middle of the room, there was a masked man sitting, drinking tea leisurely, as if waiting for their arrival.
"Welcome, Captain Zhou, and your team. I am..." The masked man chuckled, revealing a hint of playfulness in his words, "You can call me, 'Night Walker'."
"Night Walker?" Zhou Wenjun looked around cautiously to make sure there were no other ambushes. "Who are you? Why are you interfering in this?"
"Me? I'm just a person who appreciates games. The story of 'Shadow' is very interesting, but I'm more looking forward to seeing how you respond to challenges." Night Walker stood up and slowly took off his mask, revealing a familiar yet unfamiliar face.
"It's you?!" Wang Qiang exclaimed in shock, recognizing the owner of that face - a legendary figure who retired from the world of hackers many years ago and was hailed as the "legend of the hacker world."
"Yes, it's me. But now, I have a better name - the one who changes the rules of the game." The Night Walker had a confident smile on his face. Suddenly, there was a document in his hand. He gently threw it to Zhou Wenjun, "This plan will be our new beginning."
Zhou Wenjun took the document and quickly glanced through it. The content surprised and confused him. "You want to cooperate? Fight against the 'Shadow' and restore order?"
"It's not just about fighting the 'Shadow', Captain Zhou." Night Walker walked to the window and looked at the night outside. "What I want is a brand new order, a truly bright and fair world. And you are the key to realizing this vision."
"So, what are your conditions?" Zhou Wenjun asked directly. He was used to not backing down in the face of any challenge.
"It's simple. Trust me. Trust me, just like you trust each other." Night Walker turned around, his eyes firm (OK, OK), "Now, make your choice, Zhou Wenjun. Will you continue to follow the routine, or will you join me and create a new era?"
Zhou Wenjun was silent, his eyes swept over Wang Qiang, Zhang Zhendong and Xiao Zhao who was busy in the distance. Their figures seemed particularly firm under the dim light, which was an unswerving pursuit of light and a deep trust in each other.
"Okay, Night Walker, let's change the game." Zhou Wenjun finally spoke, with unquestionable determination in his tone.
The Night Walker smiled, and that smile contained expectations for the future, "Very good, then let us welcome the dawn together."
【879】A new chapter, written by us
"But before that, we have to deal with the current trouble first." Zhou Wenjun's tone turned serious, and his eyes focused on Night Walker again. "The remaining forces of 'Shadow' will not sit still and wait for death. They set up a trap here tonight, and they must have some ulterior motive."
"Of course, I have prepared a response plan for you." Night Walker tapped his wrist, and a holographic projection appeared in the air, clearly showing the three-dimensional layout of the abandoned factory and the traps and troop deployment that Shadow might set. "Here, here, and here are all potential crisis points. If we follow this route, we can minimize casualties and go straight to Huanglong."
Wang Qiang narrowed his eyes and carefully examined every detail. "Is your information accurate? This is a matter of life and death."
"I am very confident in my intelligence network," Night Walker responded calmly, his tone revealing unquestionable confidence, "Now, time is running out, so act according to the plan."
Zhang Zhendong called in from the radio, "The frontal offensive has reached a stalemate. The enemy seems to be well prepared. We need to find a breakthrough as soon as possible."
"Got it, Zhang Zhendong, hold on, we will open up the situation for you right away." Zhou Wenjun said, turning to Wang Qiang, "Are you ready? Our mission is to infiltrate from the flank and cut off their support lines."
Wang Qiang nodded, and the two exchanged a silent affirmation, and then they were like two black lightning bolts, shuttling between the ruins and heading straight for the weak spot pointed out by the Night Walker.
Xiao Zhao's voice sounded in his ears at the right time, "The communication jammer is ready. They are now like deaf and blind people, fighting entirely on instinct. However, this state cannot be maintained for too long. You must hurry!"
Zhou Wenjun and Wang Qiang took advantage of the darkness and chaos to approach the heart of the "Shadow" stronghold without being noticed. There, several figures were nervously operating a complex machine, seemingly trying to start something.
"Now!" Zhou Wenjun growled, and attacked at the same time as Wang Qiang. They took care of the guards in a lightning speed and took control of the scene.
"Is this... an energy amplifier?" Wang Qiang looked at the strange machine with confusion in his eyes. "What are they going to do with this thing?"
"No matter what, shut it down first." Zhou Wenjun said, and was about to take action, but was stopped by the voice of the Night Walker.
"No, let the machine continue to run, but adjust its frequency." Night Walker's voice came through the headset, with a bit of mystery, "I will use their weapons against them."
Following the Night Walker's instructions, Zhou Wenjun carefully adjusted the machine parameters. The originally peaceful night sky was suddenly torn apart by a dazzling light. Then, the electronic equipment in the entire factory area began to flash wildly, making noisy whistling sounds.
"Success!" Xiao Zhao shouted excitedly, "Their systems completely collapsed. Communications, monitoring, and even the automatic defense system all failed!"
"Zhang Zhendong, take advantage of now!" Zhou Wenjun seized the opportunity and issued an order for a general attack on the front battlefield.
"Understood! Brothers, charge!" Zhang Zhendong's roar was accompanied by a fierce charge. The front line of defense collapsed in an instant, and the enemy's resistance became weak and powerless.
The battle quickly came to an end in the night. When the last bit of resistance was eliminated, the four of them gathered again in that strange control room.
"Well done." Nightcrawler put on his mask again with an elusive smile on his face. "This is just the beginning. The real game has just begun."
"No matter what the future holds, as long as we unite as one, there will be no difficulties that we cannot overcome." Zhou Wenjun looked around at his comrades with a firm gaze, and an unprecedented passion and pride surged in his heart.
"Yes, together." Wang Qiang, Zhang Zhendong and Xiao Zhao responded one after another, their eyes flashing with common belief and determination.
"So, what are the next steps?" Wang Qiang was the first to break the silence, his brows revealing his desire and uneasiness about the future.
Night Walker patted the dust off his hands, a sly look flashed in his eyes. "We have to go deep into the tiger's den, find the lair of 'Shadow', and completely remove this sting. But I need your help to complete a seemingly impossible task."
Zhou Wenjun raised his eyebrows, "Tell me about it."
"At the core of the Shadow organization lies a legendary treasure - the Psychic Prism. It can control people's minds and is the source of their rampage over the years." Night Walker's words sounded particularly heavy under the dim light. "We need to sneak into their core base, take away this treasure, and destroy it."
Zhang Zhendong sneered, "It sounds like a scene from a fairy tale, but it does fit the style of Shadow."
"Myth or not, this is the only way we can end this." Night Walker's tone was unquestionable.
Xiao Zhao frowned, "The question is, how do we find that place? As far as I know, even the internal members don't know the exact location."
"That's exactly what I was going to tell you," Night Walker pulled out a yellowed map from his sleeve, on which was marked a string of complex coordinates. "Here is our only clue. An abandoned astronomical observatory. It is said that there is a secret passage leading to the lair of 'Shadow' hidden there."
Wang Qiang took the large picture and studied it carefully. "It looks like we are going to have another adventure without any preparation."
Zhou Wenjun nodded, "Prepare for action, but we must be more cautious this time. 'Shadow' will never let us go easily."
"Don't worry, I have some new toys that may come in handy." Night Walker smiled mysteriously and pulled out some sophisticated equipment from his back.
As night fell again, the four of them were ready to set off on a journey full of unknowns and dangers. Under the moonlight, their shadows were elongated, like a silent declaration, showing their determination to fight against the darkness.
"By the way, Night Walker, who exactly are you?" On the way to the destination, Zhang Zhendong couldn't help but ask. This question had been lingering in his mind.
The Night Walker raised his lips with a mysterious smile, "I am just a traveler, walking in the dark, looking for light. As for the rest, the less you know, the safer you will be."
"Well, you are always so mysterious." Wang Qiang joked, but he couldn't hide his trust and dependence on the Night Walker.
"As long as we can achieve our goal, my identity is not important." As soon as the Night Walker finished speaking, they had arrived in front of the abandoned astronomical observatory shown on the map.
Standing in front of the tightly closed iron door, Zhou Wenjun took a deep breath and said, "No matter what the road ahead holds, we must fight side by side."
"That's right, until the last moment." Wang Qiang, Zhang Zhendong, and Xiao Zhao echoed one after another. Their voices echoed in this deserted land, causing waves of repercussions.
"Then let us open this door and unveil the prelude to all the mysteries." After the Night Walker finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pushed open the long-silent door. A cold wind blew in their faces, as if foreshadowing that even more dangerous challenges were waiting for them ahead.
"Come on, friends, let's write a new chapter." The words of the Night Walker gradually disappeared behind the door, leaving only the determined figures of a group of people, heading towards the unknown depths.
【880】Sorry, this is your fate
The door slowly opened, revealing a narrow and deep passage. The ancient runes on the stone walls on both sides were faintly visible under the weak light of the flashlight, as if telling a thousand-year-old secret. The four people entered one after another, taking every step carefully, and the tension in the air almost froze.
"These runes... don't look simple. They seem to carry some kind of protective magic." Xiao Zhao analyzed in a low voice. He had an extraordinary interest in and understanding of ancient culture and mysticism.
"Magic?" Zhang Zhendong sneered, "You're not going to tell me that we're entering a magical world now?"
Night Walker chuckled, "Everything is possible in this world, Zhang Zhendong. In this world, there are some phenomena that cannot be explained by science. Perhaps they are the forgotten ancient wisdom. Xiao Zhao, continue to observe. We need to know the specific functions of these runes."
The end of the passage suddenly opens up, and a huge circular space comes into view. In the center stands an old mechanical device that still emits a faint blue light. That is the portal leading to the "Shadow" lair.
"The Mind Prism is behind that door. Be prepared, we have no way out." Night Walker's tone was extremely serious. He knew very well how dangerous this trip was.
"Let's get started without delay." Zhou Wenjun took a step forward with a determined look in his eyes. The other three followed and stood in front of the portal.
Following a series of complex operations by the Night Walker, the portal slowly opened, and a strange scene appeared before everyone's eyes - a floating city with well-arranged buildings, but it looked particularly strange in the distorted space. It was the real lair of the "Shadow", a world beyond imagination.
"This... this is impossible." Wang Qiang exclaimed. The scene before him was beyond the cognition of all of them.
"Remember, our target is the Mind Prism. Once we get it, retreat immediately." Zhou Wenjun reiterated the mission and reminded everyone to stay calm.
Led by Night Walker, they crossed this strange city, dodging the patrolling Shadow Guards, and finally came to a heavily guarded tower. On the top of the tower, the Mind Prism was emitting a soft and powerful light, as if calling for their arrival.
"The security is tight. I'm afraid we can't just force our way in." Zhang Zhendong looked around with a frown.
Night Walker smiled slightly and took out a few small devices from his pocket and distributed them to everyone. "This is what I specially prepared for this operation. It's an invisible patch. As long as you stick it on your body, you can temporarily avoid their sensor system."
With the help of the invisible patch, the four of them quietly passed through the layers of guards and finally arrived at the location of the Mind Prism. This was a crystal that emitted a soft blue light, surrounded by complex spells and energy fields, and it was obviously not something that could be easily touched.
"We have to be careful. If this thing falls into the wrong hands, the consequences will be disastrous." Zhou Wenjun warned, staring at the prism with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
Just as Night Walker slowly approached and prepared to take out the Mind Prism, a cold and majestic voice sounded in the air: "Finally, you found this place. Unfortunately, all this was within my expectations."
A figure in a black robe walked out of the shadows. It was the leader of "Shadow". His eyes penetrated the darkness and locked onto every intruder.
"Give up resistance, you can't change your fate." The leader's tone was full of arrogance.
Zhou Wenjun clenched his fists and answered firmly: "We never believe in fate, we only believe in the sword in our hands and the faith in our hearts."
"Faith?" The leader sneered, "Then I will show you what true despair is."
At this moment, the whole space began to shake, and shadow guards gradually appeared around them, surrounding the four people. Faced with this sudden change, everyone did not panic. They stood back to back, ready to face this decisive battle.
····Request flowers0···
"Night Walker, what is your plan?" Wang Qiang lowered his voice and glanced around sharply.
The Night Walker raised his lips in a mysterious smile. "Remember what I said about giving people a taste of their own medicine? Give me a minute."
He quickly placed some tiny devices around the mind prism, and then pressed the button on the controller in his hand. Instantly, a strange energy wave surged out of the prism, and the shadow guards who were originally targeting them suddenly became confused and began to attack each other.
... 0 ...
"Is this... mental confusion?" Xiao Zhao was surprised to find this change.
"That's right. I used the backlash power of the prism to create chaos within them." Night Walker explained.
Taking advantage of this brief confusion, the four of them rushed towards the Mind Prism, and Night Walker quickly removed it with incredible precision and sealed it in a special container.
"Retreat!" Zhou Wenjun gave the order, and the four of them quickly returned along the same route. Behind them was the gradually collapsing tower and the angry roar of the "Shadow" leader.
When they passed through the portal again and returned to the abandoned astronomical observatory, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but they also knew that this was far from over.
"Although I have obtained the Mind Prism, how to destroy it is a problem." Zhang Zhendong looked at the container in his hand with a serious expression.
The Night Walker looked at the gradually brightening sky in the distance and said in a deep voice: "I have an idea, but it requires us to go to an ancient place and look for a lost ritual."
"As long as we can end all this, we can go anywhere." Zhou Wenjun expressed his support without hesitation.
"Okay, then let's go, for the light of this world, let's move forward." Night Walker's tone was firm.
【881】Everyone has his own passionate moment
"Wait a minute," Xiao Zhao suddenly spoke, his eyes flashing with curiosity and caution, "Before we set out on the journey again, I have a question. Is this ritual really safe? Will it bring about a greater disaster?"
Night Walker turned around, his eyes revealing a subtle tenderness: "Xiao Zhao, you are right to be cautious. Any power, whether used for good or evil, has its price. But sometimes, in order to protect everything we cherish, we must take risks. I will make sure we have enough knowledge and preparation to perform this ritual correctly."
"In the final analysis, we are racing against time." Zhang Zhendong interrupted, his tone full of urgency, "The Shadow will not sit still and wait for death. They will track us down soon. We must get ahead of them."
Zhou Wenjun nodded, looked at everyone, and said firmly: "It's settled then, we will split up. Xiao Zhao, you are responsible for collecting all the information about the ceremony, and don't let go of any clues. Zhang Zhendong, you use your resources to prepare an evacuation route and emergency plan for us. Night Walker and I will be responsible for formulating a detailed action plan and ensuring the safety of the Mind Prism."
"Before that," Nightcrawler added, "we need a temporary hiding place, a place hidden enough so that Shadow can't find it in a short period of time. I remember there is an abandoned underground shelter nearby, which can serve as our temporary base."
"Okay, let's do it this way." Zhou Wenjun made a brief and powerful summary. His eyes were firm and unyielding, as if he had foreseen the difficulties and obstacles ahead, but was still fearless.
The group quickly took action, each busy preparing for the next plan. Xiao Zhao immediately started collecting information, while Zhang Zhendong contacted his informant to pave the way for the team's retreat. Night Walker and Zhou Wenjun began their journey to the abandoned shelter. The container of the Mind Prism was heavy in Night Walker's arms, as if carrying the weight of the whole world.
On the way to the shelter, the two were silent, thinking about the challenges they were about to face. Finally, Night Walker broke the silence: "Zhou Wenjun, if we share the novel resources of the entire network, we will update 15+ books per month, and the novels will be updated every day. Novel Exchange Group 0: 1 & Novel Exchange Group 860738045: 2 & Backup Group: 599370324 Resources are from the Internet, only for learning and communication, the copyright of the novel belongs to the original author, the text is only for personal learning and trial reading, please delete it within 822698516 hours after downloading, if you want to read, please support and subscribe to genuine novels, refuse piracy! This group provides a certain deer, hedgehog, cat, pineapple bun, dimensional princess extraction, welcome to join failed...".
Zhou Wenjun interrupted him, his eyes revealing an unquestionable determination: "We will not fail. Even at the last moment, we will use our last breath to protect this world. Remember, we don't believe in fate, we only believe in our own hands and determination."
Night Walker smiled and nodded. This tacit understanding made him feel at ease. "That's right. Now that we have come this far together, there is no turning back. We are each other's shield and sword."
As the sun sets, the afterglow lengthens the figures of the two people. They walk side by side, their backs appearing particularly determined. After arriving at the shelter, they quickly settle down and prepare for what is to come.
