You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

After passing through the long decompression corridor, as the last alloy door in front of Lin Chen slowly slid open, a murky air mixed with engine oil, ozone, and a faint smell of blood rushed towards him.

The view before me suddenly opened up.

Even Lin Chen was surprised when he saw the full view of the base's interior.

This place is practically a small underground city!

Above the enormous dome is a holographic canopy simulating blue sky and white clouds, and soft lighting illuminates the entire space as bright as day.

On the wide central aisle, various driverless transport vehicles shuttled back and forth, emitting a low electromagnetic drive sound.

On both sides of the passageway are huge functional areas.

There were researchers in white lab coats hurrying around; there were armed guards in full gear with cold eyes; there were even dedicated living and entertainment areas.

Everything here is orderly and operates efficiently, like a precise, inhuman giant machine.

Lin Chen kept his head down, perfectly playing the role of a taciturn, low-level guard, and walked through the base at a leisurely pace.

His eyes, however, inadvertently took in all the information around him.

[Godlike insight!]

[A god-like sense of smell]!

He walked through a huge area that resembled a factory workshop.

Inside, dozens of huge robotic arms are roaring and operating, crushing, screening, and refining unremarkable pieces of ore mined from the seabed.

Lin Chen's "God-level Materials Science Mastery" allowed him to immediately recognize that the refined powders, which emitted different metallic lusters, were all strategic rare earth elements that were strictly controlled in the international market!

Dysprosium, thallium, europium...

These rare metals, which play an irreplaceable role in aerospace, military, and high-precision electronics, are processed and packaged in tons here like garbage, ready to be smuggled out through secret channels for astonishing profits.

"Azure Mine" truly lives up to its name.

Lin Chen's gaze turned colder.

He continued walking and came to another area with a sign that read "Biological Experiment Area".

As soon as he got close, a strong, pungent smell of formaldehyde and blood filled his nostrils.

Through the thick bulletproof glass, Lin Chen saw the shocking scene inside.

Rows of huge glass tanks are filled with all kinds of rare, and some of them have never been found in the human world.

Most of them had been brutally dissected, their bodies connected by various tubes, as if something was being extracted.

On an operating table, a giant deep-sea squid, its tentacles still twitching occasionally, clearly still alive, lay dissected in half. Several researchers in white coats were expressionlessly extracting a deep purple, highly toxic liquid from its venom sac.

"The activity of XT-7 neurotoxin has increased by another 0.3 percentage points. The Siren's gene-editing technology is truly miraculous!"

"Hurry up, the next batch of test subjects has arrived. We must complete the extraction of one hundred units of toxin tonight."

The researchers' indifferent conversation could be faintly heard.

Lin Chen's fists clenched unconsciously inside the gloves of his diving suit.

These bastards are not only stealing the country's strategic resources, but also destroying the ocean's ecosystem in such an inhumane way, committing heinous crimes!

He took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the murderous intent in his heart.

Now is not the time to take action.

His goal is to find the central control room, steal evidence of the Dark Moon organization's crimes, and bring them all down!

Lin Chen continued his journey without making a sound. With his [God-level Architectural Mastery], he quickly determined the location of the core area of ​​the entire base.

Central control room.

It was a separate area located at the very center of the base, protected by layers of guards.

At the entrance stood four elite guards, whose equipment was far superior to that of ordinary guards. Their eyes were sharp as eagles, and they vigilantly scanned everyone around them.

It's simply impossible to sneak in silently like before.

Lin Chen's gaze swept quickly around the control room.

Soon, his gaze settled on an inconspicuous ventilation duct mesh cover on the top of the control room's exterior wall.

A bold plan instantly took shape in his mind.

He pretended to be on patrol and walked slowly in that direction.

Just as he passed under the ventilation duct, his foot seemed to trip over something, and he stumbled and "accidentally" bumped into the wall next to him.

"Bang!"

A soft sound caught the attention of the guards at the door.

They merely frowned, glanced over, and seeing that it was just an ordinary guard who had tripped, they listlessly looked away again.

However, in that split second!

In those 0.5 seconds that no one noticed!

Lin Chen's right hand had already transformed into an extremely fast afterimage!

[Godlike magician's hand speed!]

A tiny data stealer, smaller than a fingernail, which he had "hand-made" in the resort's kitchen, popped out of the lining of his glove with lightning speed!

The thieving device, like a small, living black beetle, flew out silently and accurately and firmly attached itself to the inside of the ten-meter-high ventilation duct mesh cover!

Immediately afterwards, a probe made of shape memory metal, thinner than a human hair, automatically extended from the device, passed through the gap in the mesh cover, and gently touched a core data fiber optic cable laid on the inner wall of the ventilation duct!

It's unknown to God or the devil!

After doing all this, Lin Chen "awkwardly" got up from the ground, dusted himself off, gave the guard at the door a simple and apologetic smile, and then continued walking forward with his head down.

The elite guards at the gate flashed a hint of disdain in their eyes, completely disregarding him.

They never dreamed that in that instant, the nerve center of this impregnable deep-sea fortress had been firmly gripped by an invisible hand!

As Lin Chen walked, he issued instructions in his mind.

"Begin the theft."

The next second, the tactical watch on his wrist, disguised as an ordinary digital watch, trembled slightly.

Massive amounts of encrypted data streams flooded into the eavesdropper through the miniature probe. After initial cracking and compression, they were transmitted like a waterfall to the super-encrypted cloud server that Lin Chen had set up in the basement of his courtyard house in Beijing, ignoring any physical barriers, through quantum entanglement communication technology!

A map of the Dark Moon Organization's global smuggling network!

Secret fund flows around the world!

Detailed information on all core members!

And all the evidence of the crimes committed by "The Siren" herself!

Once the typhoon subsides and the network signal on the island is restored, these bombshells, enough to shake the entire underworld, will be automatically packaged and sent to the private encrypted email address of Li Mingyu, deputy captain of the Special Operations Brigade of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau.

When that time comes, the Dark Moon Organization will be met with a devastating blow from the state apparatus!

A cold smile curled at the corner of Lin Chen's mouth.

He could already picture the amusing expression on Li Mingyu's face when he received this "gift from heaven"—a mixture of surprise, delight, a desire to claim credit, and a fear of getting burned.

However, just as the data transmission was about to be 90% complete.

"Click—"

Ahead, the heavy alloy door of the central control room suddenly opened without warning.

A chilling, brutal killing intent surged forth from inside the door!

Lin Chen's steps suddenly stopped.
