American comic book: I, with my abundant martial virtue, love to do good to others.

Mark and his team followed Lynn into the room without hesitation. Using a laser cutter, they successfully opened the door. The room's layout differed from the rest of the room; the walls were covered with various scientific data, records of human modification experiments, and specimens. Several computers were running on the table, their screens displaying real-time experimental data.

"These are all their experimental records." Mark walked to the table and quickly scanned the contents of the screen. "There is detailed gene editing data here, and even records of the effects of 'enhanced humans'."

Lynn took a deep breath, realizing that this data might reveal the true nature of the entire experimental program. But at the same time, his unease grew stronger. Were Allen's parents trapped here? Were their experimental records hidden within this data?

He eagerly began searching through the documents, and in a lab report marked "completed," he finally found the crucial clue—the names of Allen's parents. It turned out they weren't just lab subjects, but played extremely important roles in the project. The documents showed that Allen's mother, Catherine, had participated in the initial genetic experiments, while George was a key figure in providing financial support for the project.

"Catherine and George... they've been here all along." Lynn's voice was low, the documents in his hands almost crushing. "We have to find them."

Mark walked over upon hearing the noise and looked at the documents in Lynn's hand: "What are they doing here? The experiment logs say they participated in the 'Enhanced Human' project?"

"This isn't just genetic experimentation, Mark," Lynn's voice grew heavy. "It's more like controlling their lives. Catherine and George, they became part of the 'Daedalus' experiment, forced to become the core of this program."

They immediately began searching for more clues about Allen's parents. After some searching, they finally found a special storage room deep inside the laboratory. Upon entering the room, Lynn saw dozens of huge cryogenic chambers, each containing different experimental specimens. Shockingly, two of the chambers had nameplates clearly displaying the names of Catherine Miller and George Miller.

Lynn felt a jolt, as if from another world, and the heavy feeling in his heart deepened. He clenched his fists, anger rising within him: "We finally found them... but they're still in the lab, unable to wake up."

"Lynn, these experimental specimens... these people..." Mark's tone also turned somber, "They were forced to participate in these horrific experiments."

Lynn took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down: "We have to get them back. We can't let them stay here any longer."

However, just as they were preparing to rescue Catherine and George from the cryo-chamber, an emergency alarm sounded throughout the base, red warning lights began flashing, and the surrounding protective systems activated. The experimental organization's counterattack had finally arrived.

"We have to get out of here quickly!" Lynn knew time was running out; they had to leave before the base was completely sealed off.

The team sprang into action, and according to the pre-arranged evacuation plan, everyone began rescuing Catherine and George from the cryogenic chamber and carrying them away from the laboratory. Meanwhile, Lynn and Mark coordinated to cover the team's retreat, doing their utmost to protect the evacuation route.

Just as they were about to leave, the base's security measures were fully activated, and several fully armed security personnel surrounded them from different directions.

"We must hold on!" Lynn said through gritted teeth. "Everyone, maintain formation and don't let them interfere with the evacuation."

After a fierce firefight, they finally broke through the outer defenses and successfully rescued Catherine and George, bringing them back to safety. Although they had successfully rescued these important experimental subjects, Lynn was still unable to calm down. He knew that he had not yet completed his true mission—the secrets of the "Daedalus" base had not been fully revealed, and the evil conspiracy of the experimental organization was far from over.

"Lynn, mission accomplished." Mark panted beside Lynn. "We rescued Catherine and George."

Lynn nodded silently, watching Catherine and George being successfully rescued, his heart filled with complex emotions. He knew that although they had successfully rescued some people, the real battle had only just begun. Their mission was not over; the true mastermind was still lurking in the shadows, waiting for the next counterattack.

"We will continue," Lynn said firmly, "until the entire Daedalus program is destroyed, until every victim receives justice."

Lynn and Mark successfully brought Catherine and George back from the Daedalus experimental base, but despite this partial victory, the burden on their hearts was far from lifted. The remnants of the experimental organization still existed, and were larger and more secretive than they had imagined.

After the rescue operation at the base concluded, Lynn and Mark did not immediately relax. Instead, they intensified their efforts to track down and dismantle the entire network of the experimental organization. By analyzing the data brought back from the base, they discovered that the organization did not conduct research and experiments in a single location, but rather carried out work simultaneously in multiple locations, relying on a globally distributed underground network to operate covertly.

Further analysis of the data by the technical department uncovered several crucial clues: the experimental organization was maintaining a low profile in multiple locations, one of which particularly caught Lynn's attention—an abandoned factory in a remote town. This town, seemingly isolated from all mainstream urban life, had become the organization's new testing ground because of this factory.

"These guys are too cunning," Lynn said, frowning as he stared at the computer screen. "They've moved their experiments to places like this, where almost no one pays attention to these small towns."

Mark walked over to Lynn's desk and said in a low voice, "If this city really is their headquarters, it means they're still plotting something behind the scenes. We can't let these clues slip by, Lynn."

Lynn nodded, his gaze resolute: "We have to go and see. This place is hidden too deeply; if we don't investigate thoroughly, we'll never find their origins."

Immediately, Lynn and Mark led a small, elite team to investigate the remote town. They knew the operation was fraught with peril; the enemy might already be aware of their presence and preparing a counterattack. Nevertheless, Lynn decided to lead the team.

The journey was long and lonely. Lynn's convoy advanced through the wilderness, the scenery growing increasingly desolate, gradually fading from the city's bustle. The mountains and woodlands grew denser, and a somber silence filled the air. Lynn gazed ahead through the car window, a worry for Kate rising in his heart. This ongoing struggle had deeply infiltrated his life, and Kate remained an undeniable part of his being.

"What's wrong?" Mark asked softly from the seat next to him, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "You seem a little distracted."

Lynn snapped out of her thoughts and smiled. "I was just thinking about something. I'm a little worried about Kate."

Mark paused for a moment, his gaze remaining focused. "She won't stand idly by, Lynn. You know her personality. You can't stop her either. The most important thing now is for us to find more clues about the experimental organization as soon as possible and solve the problem."

Lynn nodded, took a deep breath, and looked up at the road ahead. Although his worries remained, he knew he could only focus on the task at hand.

Hours later, the convoy finally arrived at the remote town. It was completely different from the metropolis where Lynn lived; the streets were narrow, the buildings were old, and it was as if time had stood still for decades. There weren't many people on the streets; occasionally, a few old cars could be seen driving by, and a few shops were open quietly, with a quiet and lonely atmosphere permeating the air.

"There doesn't seem to be anything special about this place," Mark said, looking around. "But we know that the people from the experimental organization might be nearby."

Lynn nodded: "Let's split up and investigate the background of this city and the situation of this factory. I'll have someone inquire about the factory. Mark, you're in charge of scouting the nearby streets to make sure we don't give ourselves away."

The two split up, beginning their search for clues in this unknown city. Lynn quickly learned about the abandoned factory through local contacts. The factory had ceased production several years ago, and the entire area appeared long abandoned, but in reality, almost no one dared approach it. Locals knew that the area was owned by a mysterious company, and although no one knew exactly what the company did, many rumored that the factory had once been a storage facility for weapons and chemicals. As for now, it remained an almost completely sealed-off place.

"It sounds like there's definitely something wrong with this place." After Lynn and Mark met up, Lynn gave the team a brief report. "What we need to do now is find a way into the factory, whether it's a frontal or covert route. We don't have time to waste."

They regrouped and entered the area where the factory was located. The surrounding area was desolate, with almost no other vehicles in sight. Lynn and his team carefully advanced along the perimeter wall of the factory, trying to find an entrance they could sneak in.

"We need to be careful not to attract anyone's attention," Lynn whispered, and his team moved silently behind him.

The only way into the factory was through an abandoned gate, the lock of which was easily cracked. Inside, Lynn found himself in a dark area, with only a few lights flickering faintly. The factory's interior was a complex layout, filled with abandoned machinery and corrugated iron structures, the air thick with the smell of cooking oil and decay.

"It looks like this place has been abandoned for a long time," Mark said in a low voice, "but something still doesn't feel right."

Lynn nodded, his eyes still alert: "We need to be careful; the enemy might be operating in this area. Stay in contact, and evacuate immediately if anything unusual happens."

They continued their investigation, venturing deep into the factory, when they suddenly heard a faint sound—like metal scraping against metal. Lynn quickly signaled for everyone to be quiet, and the team members stealthily approached the source of the sound, discovering a hidden door leading to the basement.

"Here," Lynn said softly, "let's go take a look."

They opened the basement door and found the situation inside to be far more complex than they had imagined. The basement was filled with various experimental equipment and materials, and the walls were covered with documents and research data. Lynn found a familiar name in one of the documents—the code name "Project Epsilon."

"They're not just conducting genetic experiments." Mark frowned as he looked at the records on the wall. "These devices are likely used for human enhancement experiments. The 'Epsilon Project' records are completely consistent with the experiments we've seen before."

Lynn's heart tightened. He realized that the adversary they faced was far beyond their initial expectations. The experimental organization was not only conducting gene editing but also carrying out more dangerous biological modifications. They were trying to create a "super soldier," not only enhancing the subjects physiologically but also comprehensively improving their psychology and reaction speed.

"We need to take these records back and uncover more of the truth." Lynn directed his team to collect evidence while considering their next move. He knew this was no longer just a simple raid; the struggle had become more complex, involving far-reaching interests and dangers.

Suddenly, the basement lights flickered a few times, followed by the factory's alarm system going off. Lynn's face instantly turned serious, and his heart raced.

"Quick! We have to get out of here right now!" Lynn shouted.

Following his command, the team members quickly gathered the data and evidence they had brought back and began rushing towards the basement exit. Although they had anticipated a reaction from the experimental organization, the emergency alarm at this moment meant that their operation had been exposed, and the enemy had likely begun to gather forces in preparation for a counterattack.

Lynn's heart raced. He quickly scanned his surroundings: "Mark, lead the team to retreat. I and the others will cover you."

Mark nodded and immediately led his team forward. Lynn, on the other hand, headed towards the exit, gripping his gun tightly and constantly scanning his surroundings. He knew that at this moment, the situation they faced had become extremely dangerous.

Just as they were about to reach the basement exit, a series of hurried footsteps suddenly came from the stairwell. Lynn's heart skipped a beat. He immediately signaled his team to stop and crouched down in the corner, holding his breath.

"Someone's coming," Lynn whispered. "Get ready, we're about to strike back."

A few seconds later, security personnel appeared at the stairwell, armed and dressed in black tactical uniforms, their eyes stern; they appeared to be a specialized emergency response unit. Lynn calmly observed them, noting that their numbers were small and they shouldn't pose a lethal threat yet, but time was of the essence, and a swift victory was necessary. (End of Chapter)
