I started with a portal, then turned around and handed it over to the nation.

Wang Hao became more and more excited as he spoke, and he banged hard on the whiteboard.

"This plan focuses on extreme leverage and information asymmetry! It uses the safest method to pry open the door to a new world!"

There was silence in the conference room.

A few seconds later, an approving smile appeared on General Zhao Zhenguo's face.

"good!"

He made the final decision.

"That's settled! Long Fei, for the next month, your men will train like crazy, focusing on extreme individual weaponry and this fiber optic infiltration tactic!"

"Yes!" Long Fei stood up, his voice loud and clear.

Zhao Zhenguo nodded, gesturing for him to sit down, then turned his gaze back to Lin Mo.

"Also, Lin Mo, could you explain the return mechanism after the mission is completed in more detail?"

Lin Mo immediately replied:

"After completing the task, the system will prompt you that you can manually open the return door at any time. However, no matter which side you open it from, the door will only remain open for one minute."

"Moreover, I must be the last to enter or the last to exit. The door will close the moment I step in."

Upon hearing Lin Mo's confirmation, a resolute glint flashed in Long Fei's eyes.

This means that during the retreat, Lin Mo must take the greatest risk; he must be the last one to cover the retreat for the entire team.

Long Fei looked at Zhao Zhenguo and nodded heavily without saying a word, but his eyes said it all.

With the initial battle plan finalized, the tense atmosphere in the conference room eased slightly.

Professor Sun Dehai, who had been patiently waiting, could no longer sit still. He rubbed his hands together, leaned forward, and looked at Zhao Zhenguo with great eagerness.

"General, we don't understand tactics, but what about... that miracle drug?"

Zhao Zhenguo smiled and gave Long Fei a wink.

Long Fei bent down and placed a black portable safe at his feet in the center of the conference table.

"Click".

He entered a long password, and the safe popped open.

All eyes immediately focused on the inside of the box.

The bottle of liquid, emitting a soft blue glow, lay quietly in a black velvet liner.

Professor Sun Dehai immediately took out a pair of white gloves from his pocket and put them on. He stood up and almost ran around the table to the safe.

He carefully picked up the medicine bottle, his movements gentle and his expression focused, and held it up to his eyes to examine it closely under the light.

"It's so beautiful...this perfect molecular structure..."

He muttered to himself, his breathing becoming rapid.

"A completely new system of life sciences is right before my eyes!"

He turned around abruptly to look at Zhao Zhenguo, his voice becoming somewhat shrill with excitement.

"General, I request to return to the lab immediately! My team has been waiting all night! My inspiration... it can't wait any longer!"

Not only him, but all the experts in the conference room who were engaged in biological and materials research had their eyes light up.

They unconsciously surrounded him, their faces filled with infatuation and fanaticism, their eyes also showing a hint of awe, staring intently at the bottle of medicine in Sun Dehai's hand.

Zhao Zhenguo smiled and nodded, waved, and watched as the excited scientists surrounded Sun Dehai and hurriedly left the conference room.

He glanced at his watch; it was already early morning.

The old man turned to Lin Mo, his tone much gentler.

"Alright, you've had a long day. Longfei, take him to rest."

Zhao Zhenguo stood up, walked to Lin Mo's side, and added another sentence.

"Oh, right, Xiaolin, we've brought your parents along too. They should be arriving soon. Go and meet them."

As soon as Zhao Zhenguo finished speaking, Lin Mo froze.

He suddenly raised his head, looked into the old man's gentle eyes, and his voice trembled slightly.

"My parents...they're here too?"

"certainly."

Zhao Zhenguo's smile deepened, and he patted Lin Mo's shoulder again, his touch steady.

"We must ensure our heroes have no worries. That's what we should do."

He turned to Long Fei and instructed him:

"Long Fei, take Xiao Lin there. Let him rest well and adjust his condition."

"yes!"

Long Fei saluted Zhao Zhenguo, then turned to look at Lin Mo, his eyes softening considerably.

"Let's go."

Lin Mo felt his mind was still a little dazed. He mechanically followed Long Fei out of the conference room, his thoughts a jumble of emotions that made his eyes well up with tears.

The two took the elevator back to the ground floor, where a convertible electric scooter was already waiting.

"Get in the car."

Long Fei got into the driver's seat first, and Lin Mo followed suit.

The electric scooter started silently, leaving the desolate core area and turning onto a wide road lined with greenery.

The road is lined with neatly trimmed lawns and gardens, and in the distance there are even basketball courts and children's playgrounds.

The residential buildings and villas, all with a unified style but looking very comfortable, are scattered in a well-organized manner.

Above, a softly lit dome simulating the sky replaced the previous cold metal ceiling.

At this moment, the sunlight is in its very hues.

Several family members dressed in casual clothes were strolling on the lawn, and the laughter of children playing in the distance could be heard.

If it weren't for the armed patrols still visible in the distance, Lin Mo would almost have thought he had arrived at a high-end resort.

"This is the base's living quarters."

Long Fei drove while giving a casual introduction.

"The immediate family members of all core researchers and team members can be brought here to live, provided they pass the political vetting. Safety is absolutely guaranteed, and all living facilities are readily available."

Lin Mo looked at the scenery flashing past the window, feeling somewhat dazed.

"I thought... I thought it would be one of those very serious family dormitories."

"Only by working with peace of mind can we protect everyone."

Long Fei looked straight ahead, his voice steady: "This is a promise the country has made to you."

Lin Mo didn't say anything more, but just looked at Long Fei's resolute profile.

He recalled Long Fei's information: a ruthless and decisive man on the battlefield, but a father who would write letters to his daughter in private.

Perhaps, Long Fei is also protecting his family far away in his own way.

The electric scooter slowly came to a stop in front of a beautiful two-story villa.

The villa has a small yard with a freshly mowed lawn that still smells of fresh grass.

Long Fei turned off the engine and pointed to the door.

"We're here, this is it."

Lin Mo got out of the car and stepped onto the soft grass, feeling a little unreal.

He walked step by step toward the closed door, his heart pounding uncontrollably.

He has been away from home for too long.

From the moment he was bound to the system, he thought he could never go back.

Just as he was about to raise his hand to knock on the door, a familiar yet hushed argument could be faintly heard from inside.

It was the anxious voice of her mother, Wang Guifen.

"Old man, you know, our son was perfectly fine, so how could he suddenly be taken away by the military... and they even flew us to this place we don't even know!"
