After the mission concluded, Chen Rui and Lin Xi returned to the command center. Although they had successfully prevented Wu Lan from escaping and left a warning, the atmosphere in the command center was unusually tense.
Director Zhao convened a high-level meeting to present the latest intelligence and analysis results to everyone. The screen displayed a map of the dark current forces, marking suspected activity locations within various Areas. The map included not only confirmed strongholds but also many known Areas, forming a vast network that seemed to encircle the Special Zone like a giant web.
Director Zhao spoke in a somber tone: "Based on the intelligence we intercepted and what Night Raven revealed, the dark current's objectives are not limited to terrorist attacks. Their activities seem to involve something called the Abyss Project. This plan could potentially disrupt the entire order of the Special Zone and even affect multiple regions."
Lin Xi furrowed her brow and asked, "What exactly is the Abyss Project? Is there any specific explanation in the intelligence?"
Director Zhao shook his head. "Currently, we lack detailed information about this plan. The only thing we can confirm is that it involves a significant amount of high-tech Wu Lan and chemical agents, and possibly even human body modification technology. The dark current appears to be attempting to create a superhuman combat force with the aim of overthrowing the existing order."
Hearing this information, Chen Rui felt a heavy weight in his heart. Having spent many years in the Special Zone, he had witnessed numerous radical organizations carry out terrorist attacks, but the methods and plans of an organization like the dark current seemed particularly insidious and terrifying. Creating a superhuman army through high technology and human body modification went far beyond conventional military confrontations; it was almost a challenge to humanity's very limits.
Director Zhao continued, "From what we gathered from Night Raven, we can infer that there may be multiple factions within the dark current, each responsible for different tasks. Night Raven might just be one faction focused on Wu Lan activities, while others handle technology, intelligence, and so forth."
After pondering for a moment, Chen Rui offered his perspective: "Since their plans involve Wu Lan and human body modification, they must have substantial resources supporting high-tech equipment and laboratories. We can start from this angle to trace the funding flow of the dark current and locate their experimental bases."
Director Zhao nodded in agreement. "Good. Our next step will be to fully investigate the financial sources of the dark current and enhance monitoring of major research facilities. Chen Rui, your task is to find Night Raven's hiding place as soon as possible and gather more information regarding the Abyss Project."
After the meeting concluded, Chen Rui and Lin Xi led their Squad to begin their investigation immediately. A few days later, they discovered a lead: a scientist who had previously worked for the dark current secretly contacted the Special Zone, hoping to gain asylum in exchange for internal intelligence about the dark current.
After careful arrangements, this scientist was safely brought into the Special Zone. His name was Lin Feng, an expert who had participated in several engineering projects for the dark current. According to him, the dark current was indeed conducting human body modification experiments, attempting to enhance human endurance, strength, and reaction speed through genetic modifications and drug enhancements.
With a serious expression, Lin Feng explained to Chen Rui: "The Dark Current Experiment Bases are located in different cities, all hidden underground with strict security measures. The core of these experiments is codenamed 'Abyss.' Night Raven is one of the key executors of the Abyss Project. I personally supervised several experiments to ensure that the data met requirements."
"What is the purpose of these experiments?" Chen Rui asked.
"The dark current aims to create an elite warrior they call Abyss Warriors through these experiments," Lin Feng replied. "These warriors will possess combat abilities and endurance far beyond that of ordinary humans. They hope to use these warriors to overthrow the entire Special Zone and potentially gain control over larger areas."
Chen Rui's brow furrowed tightly. "Have these Abyss Warriors been completed?"
Lin Feng shook his head. "The experiments are still ongoing; they have already produced several preliminary successful samples. These samples exhibit astonishing combat abilities and recovery rates but have significant mental instability issues, often falling into states of madness and loss of control. Therefore, they are still searching for better technologies and drugs to stabilize these warriors' mental states."
This information left Chen Rui deeply shocked and worried. The dark current not only achieved breakthroughs technologically but also attempted to create an almost invincible army of warriors. If their experiments succeeded, security in the Special Zone would face unprecedented threats.
At the same time, Lin Xi brought another piece of intelligence indicating that the dark current had recently been purchasing a rare mineral at high prices—this mineral was a rare radioactive substance with strong energy release properties. According to analysis from intelligence sources, they might be using this mineral as an energy source for their Abyss Warrior modification experiments.
Chen Rui immediately reported this critical intelligence to Director Zhao. The Special Zone decided to dispatch their Squad to intercept this batch of goods at the mineral trading location and uncover who was behind the dark current's operations.
