Chapter 183 Military Attack
The machine was still groaning, and the air was filled with the bitter smell of medicine and the coldness of metal.

Lin Che had just finished packing the last batch of serum into boxes, and the cooling chamber door on the production line wasn't fully closed yet.

Xiao Ran was staring at the monitor screen, his brows furrowed.

Suddenly, a tremendous roar of propellers filled the sky above the base. The laboratory ceiling panels trembled slightly; the soundproofing was ineffective.

Xiao Ran, pressed against the wall, said in a low voice, "Something's approaching." Lu Zhao abruptly pushed open the main control terminal, and a string of red alarm codes flashed wildly on the screen, with images of helicopters popping up from the external surveillance cameras. Immediately afterward, a mechanical male voice came from a loudspeaker through the crack in the window: "Listen up, everyone inside! Hand over the 'Eden Project Experiment Subject' immediately! Otherwise, the base will be cleared! All personnel, hands up, assemble outside immediately!"

The sound echoed back and forth, growing ever more piercing. Red dots from laser sights fell through the curtains, and the few survivors on guard inside the courtyard dared not move.

Xiao Ran gritted his teeth and whispered, "The snipers are here, three of them, all fully armed."

Lu Zhao ignored him and turned around to unlock the door of the emergency exit SK201.

Su Wanqing leaped out of the filing cabinet, her eyebrows raised, and shouted, "Everyone stay where you are! Lin Che, turn off the lights! Tong Yin, hide behind the medicine cabinet!"

The "cleaner" team led by Dawn was originally assisting with the sorting of medicines outside.

As soon as the sudden helicopter noise subsided, Li Ming was the first to change his demeanor. He whispered to the two people beside him, "Prepare Plan Two and immediately seal off the main entrance to the laboratory."

The team of "cleaners" at the entrance acted swiftly, pulling out miniature submachine guns hidden at the bottom of the medicine cabinet and aiming them at all the technical staff and Su Wanqing and the others.

Li Ming walked to the middle of the laboratory, holding the communication headset in his hand, and slightly raised it: "Gentlemen, the situation is different now. I am ordered to demand that you hand over all serum samples and research manuscripts. Anyone who violates this order will be killed."

Su Wanqing stared at Li Ming, her hand slowly reaching for the computing console behind her.

Xiao Ran and Lu Zhao exchanged a glance, and Lu Zhao moved the sticking towards the cabinet door.

Lin Che stood still, blocking the girl with the childlike voice, while simultaneously monitoring the situation in the outer corridor.

Han Xue didn't approach the "cleaner," but instead bent her back slightly and lowered her head, inputting a series of commands in front of the main control terminal.

She quickly inserted the USB drive into the host interface, copying the latest data while using her leg to block the view of outsiders.

Two shots suddenly rang out outside; military snipers had shot and killed two patrolmen in the courtyard who were trying to run out.

The sirens blared and the elevator platform continued to descend, while the rustling footsteps outside the door grew even more urgent.

Li Ming said in a cold voice, "Su Wanqing, I only have one question: do you want her or her life?"

Su Wanqing pursed her lips for a long time, her voice cold: "Find the data file yourself. I don't care about the serum."

Li Ming nodded and turned to his henchmen on either side: "Prioritize sealing off the security doors and taking control of all reagent coolers."

After speaking, he turned and headed towards the exit. The two men beside him raised their guns and stared at Lu Zhao and Lin Che, preventing them from touching the critical equipment.

Gunfire erupted again outside the gate, and special forces were ready to storm in at any moment.

Lu Zhao squatted on the ground, silently unplugged the spare hard drive, and entered the laboratory emergency destruction program into the main control interface.

He moved very gently, but gritted his teeth and operated quickly, setting all research records to be irreversibly erased, leaving only an emergency backup planned for cold storage of the host computer.

He whispered a reminder to Lin Che: "Make sure it explodes, don't let them find all of them."

Han Xue synchronized the research data to a USB drive, stopped at the exit, leaned to the side, and slipped a small object into Su Wanqing's palm.

Su Wanqing tightened her grip, then knowingly trembled slightly as she accepted the money.

Han Xue didn't speak or turn around. She just slowly walked towards the stairwell and was pushed away by the crowd of "cleaners" until she disappeared behind the door.

Li Ming and the other two had already occupied the main machinery area. He pointed to the medicine refrigerator: "I'll take five vials of your serum, the rest are for your own protection. Hand over all the data."

At that moment, the military's special forces squeezed in from the main entrance and two side passages in three groups, their movements swift and efficient.

All technicians exposed in the corridor were ordered to squat down with their hands behind their heads.

The sniper's scope was still moving towards the window; any unprotected spot could become a target.

Just as Lu Zhao was about to close the last filing cabinet, a shout of killing erupted behind him. Li Ming had already obtained the serum and was leading his team to retreat through the back door. He grinned at Su Wanqing: "You guys figure out your own strategy. The situation is settled."

Xiao Ran had already quietly prepared the emergency exit of the storage room. He whispered, "Su Wanqing, the back door of the laboratory, quickly bring people—" Before he finished speaking, a military special forces soldier rushed in with a gun at the ready, pointing towards Lin Che.

The girl with the childlike voice was tightly protected behind Lin Che. Su Wanqing glanced down at the USB drive that Han Xue had just handed her; there was another layer of password inside.

Lu Zhao closed the filing cabinet door, turned the command knob with his right hand, and started the destruction system.

By this time, the "cleaner" squad had taken the lead in shifting control to the military, but each side remained wary.

Lin Che sensed danger approaching, and the personality fusion state suddenly emerged before him.

Night's consciousness suddenly expanded, and he braced himself on the ground with both hands, a layer of blue-green energy waves emanating from his body.

The spare healing agent in his pocket rolled out a bit and he casually slapped it into the palm of the girl with the childlike voice.

A burst of machine gun fire swept outside. While forcibly pulling the girl with the childlike voice back, Lin Che swung his right arm, and a semi-transparent energy barrier suddenly appeared in front of him.

The "scavenger" and military bullets struck each other with a muffled thud, all of which were stopped without any shrapnel flying.

Su Wanqing pulled Lu Zhao to retreat to the other side, saying, "Lin Che, take Tong Yin and go! Meet at the back gate!" Xiao Ran had already led the backup team to block the pursuers. Lin Che was extremely fast at this moment. He picked up the girl Tong Yin and rushed forward, pushing the barrier backward at the same time to dodge several rounds of explosive bullets.

The energy barrier became increasingly solid, and Lin Che's pupils began to show both gold and blue hues.

His speed and strength became extremely large, several times faster than before.

Two bullets grazed each other head-on, sparks flying from the energy barrier, but Lin Che was completely unharmed.

The girl with the childlike voice was held tightly to his chest, her fingers gripping the healing potion tightly.

Lin Che protected her as they retreated until they passed through a side door and hid in the underground emergency passage.

When Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao joined forces, Lin Che's face turned pale, and the color in his eyes dimmed. He staggered a step, suddenly knelt on one knee, and looked up, panting.

Lu Zhao rushed over to help them, and Su Wanqing quickly moved Lin Che and the girl with the childlike voice into a secluded corner.

Lin Che closed his eyes, his body twitched slightly, and he became unresponsive.

The pursuers were getting closer and closer. The underground passage was dark, with only red emergency lights on.

Su Wanqing glanced at the USB drive Han Xue had given her, gritted her teeth, and stuffed it into the inner pocket of her coat. She looked up and saw that the base had completely fallen, surrounded by the military on four sides.

Xiao Ran shouted, "Don't stop! The back can't hold on much longer!" Su Wanqing looked up at the main building of the experimental area. Li Ming had already disappeared quickly through the back door with a box of serum and some data. The military had taken over the main gate.

Within a minute, all the passages in the experimental area were taken control by the squads, and the gunfire outside grew louder and louder.

Lu Zhao held Lin Che in his arms and called out, "He's passed out. Su Wanqing, hurry up and check that USB drive. We need to cover our retreat when we have time."

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth, hid the USB drive tightly, and led the still dazed, childlike girl further inside.

The aftershocks of the energy barrier still lingered in the afterimage of Lin Che's hand.

Xiao Ran covered the rear, dropping grenade traps along the way.

The sound of propellers outside had not stopped, and the figures of special forces soldiers kept flashing past the broken glass windows and the main building corridor.

On both sides of the top floor of the base, snipers continued to use laser targets to search for any remaining personnel inside the building.

The scavenger team controlled the exit for less than three minutes, leaving behind a mess of scattered medicines and opened freezers.

Lin Che slumped against the wall, and Su Wanqing lifted half of his body, pulling him and Tong Yin into the deeper shadows.

Lu Zhao pressed his hand to his chest and lowered his voice: "Li Ming took five samples and some research records. Han Xue ran away too."

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth and didn't ask any more questions. The rest of the people gathered at the last cover door, and the sound of footsteps behind them grew closer and closer.
