Chapter 27: Destroying Angel Gene
Li Wei and Raven spent the next few weeks meticulously planning their attack on Angel Gene. With Raven's insider knowledge and Li Wei's combat expertise, they formed a perfect team, complementing each other's strengths. They devised a multi-phase operation aimed at dismantling Angel Gene from within.
The night of the attack arrived. The first target was a data center where Angel Gene stored sensitive information about their experiments and financial backers. Li Wei, using his stealth abilities, infiltrated the building. With Raven's guidance, he bypassed the security systems and reached the server room.
Inside, he planted explosive charges on the servers, ensuring the data would be irretrievably destroyed. As he set the final charge, Raven's voice crackled through his earpiece. "All clear on my end. Get out of there, now."
Li Wei slipped out of the building just as the charges detonated. The explosion lit up the night sky, and the data center went up in flames. The loss of their data crippled Angel Gene's ability to track and manipulate their operations.
Next, they targeted the supply chain. Raven had identified several key warehouses where Angel Gene stored their materials and experimental subjects. Li Wei and Raven split up, hitting the warehouses simultaneously. With precision and ruthlessness, they neutralized the guards and set fire to the facilities.
As the warehouses burned, Li Wei thought of the countless lives ruined by Angel Gene's experiments. This was justice, he reminded himself, and he took no pleasure in the destruction.
The final phase of their operation involved confronting the core of Angel Gene's leadership. Raven had pinpointed a secret meeting of the top executives, including Dr. Marcus Klein, at a heavily guarded mansion on the outskirts of the city.
Li Wei and Raven approached the mansion under the cover of darkness. Using his elemental manipulation, Li Wei created a dense fog that enveloped the area, reducing visibility and giving them the element of surprise. They moved swiftly, taking out the perimeter guards silently.
Inside the mansion, the meeting was in full swing. Dr. Klein and the other executives discussed their next steps, unaware of the danger closing in on them. Li Wei and Raven burst into the room, weapons drawn.
Panic ensued. The executives scrambled for cover, but there was nowhere to hide. Li Wei's spear cut through the air with lethal precision, and Raven's gunfire was equally deadly. One by one, the key figures of Angel Gene fell.
Dr. Klein, seeing the downfall of his empire, tried to escape through a hidden passage. Li Wei pursued him, cornering him in a lab filled with experimental equipment. Klein, in a desperate move, activated a defensive system, releasing a cloud of toxic gas.
Li Wei's reflexes saved him. He held his breath and, with a powerful thrust, impaled Klein with his spear. The scientist's eyes widened in shock before he slumped to the ground, lifeless.
As the toxic gas dissipated, Raven joined Li Wei in the lab. "It's over," she said, looking at the carnage around them.
Li Wei nodded, his expression grim. "For now."
They left the mansion, their mission complete. Angel Gene was no more, its operations shattered and its leaders dead. But Li Wei knew this was just the beginning. The information he and Raven had uncovered revealed the existence of other secret organizations and hidden threats. Their fight was far from over.
