The basement rose slowly, and the biochemical weapon box glowed with a sharp light under the cold white light. Chen Mo felt all the hairs on the back of his neck stand on end. The masked person pressed another button, and the mechanical arm on the top of the basement began to operate, loading the boxes one by one onto the transport vehicle. "These viruses can destroy a city's immune system," the masked man said slowly. "And the 'Dawn Project' is to let them spread at the most appropriate time."
Zhao Jianfeng aimed his gun at the masked man and said, "How dare you!" The moment the gunshot rang out, the masked man dodged sideways and threw out a smoke bomb at the same time. White smoke quickly filled the entire hall. Chen Mo coughed and covered his mouth and nose. Intense fighting sounds and the dull thump of heavy objects falling to the ground could be heard in his ears. In the darkness, he felt a sharp object brushing against his arm, and the burning pain made him even more alert.
"Disperse and look for the masked person!" Lin Wei's voice came from the left. Chen Mo groped his way forward. Suddenly, he stepped on a soft thing. Looking down, he saw the corpse of a high-ranking member of "Prometheus". There was a dagger stuck in his chest, and blood was spreading through the gaps in the floor tiles. By the faint light filtering through the smoke, Chen Mo found that the corpse was tightly clutching a broken blueprint in its hand, with the words "Jiangcheng Water Supply System" and "Virus Release Point" marked on it.
"Bad!" They are going to pollute the water source! Chen Mo shouted. Just then, he saw the blurry figure of the masked person running towards the transport vehicle. Chen Mo chased after him without hesitation and engaged in a close combat with the masked person in the smoke. The masked man's movements were extremely agile, and each punch carried a fatal force. Chen Mo was hit in the abdomen and staggered back a few steps.
At the critical moment, Zhao Jianfeng rushed over from the side and knocked the masked person to the ground. The two were fighting on the ground. Their masks were torn off, revealing a face that shocked Chen Mo - it was none other than Zhang Haifeng, the new vice mayor of Jiangcheng City! How could you... Chen Mo's words were interrupted by Zhang Haifeng's sneer: "Officer Chen, you are too naive." You've been on our chessboard since you started investigating the Jinxiu Group.
Lin Wei took the opportunity to rush towards the transport vehicle, attempting to prevent the virus from being transported. But the remnants of "Prometheus" launched a frenzied counterattack, with bullets constantly brushing past her body. After Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng dealt with Zhang Haifeng, they immediately supported Lin Wei. Just as they were about to bring the situation under control, a shrill siren suddenly came from outside the manor, and dozens of police cars surrounded the manor completely.
The one who got out of the police car was none other than Wang Ming, the deputy chief of the police station whom Chen Mo had once trusted. "Chen Mo, Zhao Jianfeng, suspected of illegal intrusion and deliberate murder. You are now arrested!" Wang Ming held a gun, his eyes cold. Only then did Chen Mo understand that Wang Ming was also a member of "Prometheus".
"Director Wang, are you going to assist the tyrant?" Zhao Jianfeng shouted angrily. Wang Ming, however, remained unmoved and directed the police officers to approach step by step. Chen Mo quickly analyzed the situation. He knew that the biochemical weapons must be protected first now to prevent the virus from falling into the enemy's hands. He whispered to Lin Wei, "Leave through the secret passage with the blueprints and find a way to inform the media and the environmental protection department to expose their conspiracy." Captain Zhao and I stayed to buy time.
Lin Wei hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded and disappeared into the secret passage of the manor. Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng, back to back, faced the surrounding police officers and made their final preparations for resistance. Just when the situation was at its lowest point, the roar of a helicopter suddenly rang out outside the manor. A helicopter marked with the logo of the "National Security Agency" landed, and dozens of armed agents rushed out.
The leading agent presented his identification: "We received an anonymous tip-off and have come to investigate the illegal activities of 'Prometheus'." Wang Ming's expression changed suddenly. He attempted to escape, but was quickly subdued by the agents. Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng finally heaved a sigh of relief. They knew that they had narrowly won this battle.
Afterwards, Zhang Haifeng, Wang Ming and other members of "Prometheus" were lawfully arrested, and the "Dawn Project" was completely bankrupt. Chen Mo stood in front of the water supply plant in Jiangcheng City, watching the clear water flow into the pipes, feeling a myriad of emotions in his heart. This game against the dark forces cost him a lot, but it also strengthened his determination to uphold justice. He knew that as long as darkness existed, he would never stop fighting.
