The car sped through the night, Young Kahn's hands gripping the steering wheel tightly, his face tense as the rearview mirror occasionally caught the blur of passing headlights. Their hearts still pounded in time with the echoing alarm, and despite having escaped the eerie building, the sense of tension lingered.
"We've been discovered," Kahn gritted out.
Rakien offered no response, his expression equally heavy. Relying on their familiarity with the city, they navigated through numerous side streets, taking a roundabout route to ensure they weren't followed before finally returning to the bar. When the car finally pulled back into Kahn's bar, they dared to breathe a little easier. Kahn quickly parked the car in a concealed alley, and Rakien leaped out. The two skillfully changed the license plates and hurried into the bar.
Inside the bar, several companions were waiting for their return. Seeing the two of them panting, they immediately gathered around.
"What exactly did you find?" Old Kahn was the first to ask, his expression serious.
The group huddled together as Rakien inserted the data disk obtained from the building into the computer to display the information to everyone.
"We managed to infiltrate that building... you won't believe what we found inside," Young Kahn's voice still carried a hint of terror as he recalled what he had just witnessed, his eyes flickering. "Thousands of human gene culture dishes, and those huge computing machines, they're analyzing, calculating... This stuff is definitely related to the negative alien beings!"
Hearing this, everyone looked at each other, the air seemingly solidifying for a moment. Rakien pointed to the data, adding, "Based on the blueprints and experimental data we obtained, that building is not only a computing center but also an alien gene experiment base. Look, some are human, but these genes and images are definitely not human! On the surface, it's hidden in the city center, appearing to be an office building, but in reality, they are quietly conducting human gene experiments."
Young Kahn couldn't help but frown, "What are these experiments for? What do they want to do?"
"Remember Carol with the lizard eyes?" Oren replied, "This building is likely the negative alien's laboratory for modifying and mixing alien genes with humans. It's probably turning those important politicians physically into negative alien forces, making it easier to control the entire planet."
Upon hearing this, everyone realized with a start, their faces filled with shock and anger.
Rakien opened the mini-computer in his hand and connected to several key underground network nodes. He searched for more information related to the building, especially its construction background and security defense systems.
Old Kahn, through some government documents previously intercepted, began to search for construction bidding records related to the building. Among a series of vague documents, they found a bidding document—this file seemed to be an ordinary engineering project on the surface, but in the attached remarks, it mentioned "four underground levels expansion" and "special security protection equipment," which made everyone realize the strangeness and complexity of the building.
"If that's the case, who knows how many politicians have already become negative aliens in fact, and the entire experimental site is running around these plans," Rakien's tone became even more serious.
"This is likely a project jointly operated by alien beings and the Averland government, so the underground facilities are probably even more complex," Rakien said calmly.
The group carefully analyzed the building's internal structure and the blueprints of the basement. Through the network, they successfully found the building's ventilation system and some schematic diagrams of backup channels. Old Kahn proposed a bold plan: "We can infiltrate, use their ventilation system to enter the underground, and then install explosive devices at the key load-bearing points of the building to destroy the entire building."
"This building must have an automated defense system," Rakien added, through the previous infiltration, the ground security facilities were already so tight, so there were likely automated patrol defense robots or other automated security facilities underground.
Oren was silent for a while, then spoke, "So, if we destroy this facility, can we stop their plan?"
"In theory, yes," Old Kahn nodded, "but we have to make sure that only the experimental base is destroyed and not harm innocent people. If the underground explosion point is not properly placed, causing the building to collapse sideways after the explosion, it will destroy the surrounding civilian buildings, with unimaginable consequences."
"We must completely destroy it," Rakien said firmly, "This is our good opportunity to fight back against the negative dark forces."
Oren spoke calmly, "I am currently in charge of several military projects and have the authority to secretly allocate some military supplies and explosive devices." He then said to Old Kahn, "The two of us will be responsible for designing and placing the timed high-explosive devices. I will also participate. Our goal is to precisely destroy the entire negative alien experiment building, making it collapse vertically after the explosion to avoid causing additional casualties."
After a round of intense research and discussion, the group unanimously decided to take action. They would return to the building, find the core experimental equipment underground, and install explosive devices at the key load-bearing structures of the building to completely destroy it. The details of the action plan were quickly formulated:
Investigation Background: Young Kahn and Rakien will continue to investigate the building contractors and government documents responsible for the project to further confirm the underground and building structure. Chris, in the concealed warehouse, will be responsible for remote technical assistance.
Infiltration and Destruction: Old Kahn and Oren, due to their rich and seasoned military experience, especially Oren's authority to secretly divert some military supplies and explosive devices from some marginal projects, will be responsible for designing timed high-explosive devices and placing them accurately during the infiltration to ensure the destruction of the entire building.
Retreat Plan: They will design escape routes to ensure that everyone can safely evacuate before the facility is destroyed. When the plan is implemented, everyone must be disguised to avoid being accidentally captured by cameras or recognized by facial recognition systems.
With all plans in place, although everyone was filled with unease, they were also filled with anticipation for the future.
Suddenly, Chris brought them the latest intelligence through the remotely connected screen.
"The building you saw looks ordinary on the outside, but its structure is very complex, and the underground part hides a lot of key structures," Chris's voice came through the device, "According to the government documents and contractor records I found, the underground facilities are divided into four levels. You must go deep to the bottom level, where the core gene cultivation facilities and computing systems are stored."
Young Kahn frowned, pondering for a moment, "But the problem is, such a deep underground structure cannot be infiltrated easily. Even if we can enter the interior of the floor, how can we ensure that we can avoid the security systems there?"
Chris laughed, "You have me, brother! I can provide technical support and remotely interfere with the security systems there during your operation, giving you enough time."
Rakien nodded, "Great! Chris, let's do it!"
