Alex's heart raced as he faced the imminent awakening of the experimental subject, feeling an unprecedented pressure. He could clearly sense the increasingly frequent movements of the abnormal organism inside the incubator, seemingly stimulated by the beam of his headlight, and perhaps other unknown factors were accelerating the creature's awakening process. 0
 
He kept a close watch on the incubator while intermittently checking the download progress on the computer screen. Time seemed unusually long, with each second dragging on as if carrying an endless weight. He silently hoped for enough time for the download to complete. In this moment, Alex felt a sense of helplessness, realizing that both personal strength and technological progress seemed so insignificant in the face of such unknown and terrifying circumstances. 0
 
 
"Hurry up, hurry up..." Alex urged in his mind, his eyes fixed on the progress bar on the computer screen. He knew that once this subject fully awakened, he would face a completely unknown and potentially deadly threat. In this place full of unknowns and dangers, every decision could have a decisive impact on his fate. 0
 
The pressure made Alex's sweat seep through his tactical suit. He knew that this mission was not only about completing the task, but also a race against time, a race against death. In this tense and stressful environment, every breath of Alex seemed to remind him that there was no room for error in every moment. However, a noisy voice came through Alex's helmet, it was Sarah's voice, sounding anxious: "Boss! Where are you? We've already installed the nuclear bomb! There are only two minutes left until the enemy's communication devices come back online! Can we prepare for evacuation now?" 0
 
 
"I've reached the vicinity of the evacuation point where the transport plane is. You all need to evacuate quickly!" Alex's voice transmitted through the communicator, making every effort to conceal his actual location and actions. He tried to maintain a calm tone, attempting not to let the team members notice anything unusual. As Sarah's voice sounded in his ear, the pressure in Alex's heart seemed to increase. He knew full well that once the subjects in the incubation tank fully awakened, he might not be able to complete the mission and reach the evacuation point within two minutes. 0
 
"Understood, boss!" Sarah's voice carried obvious concern, but she still followed Alex's command. "We will evacuate immediately and ensure your safety!" 0
 
 
After Alex turned off the communicator, a complex mix of emotions surged within him. He felt guilty towards his teammates and worried that his secret mission might cause trouble for everyone. He turned back to the computer screen, where the download was nearing completion, but time seemed to be running out even faster. 0
 
Standing there, with the gun in his hand pointed at the dark incubation chamber, Alex's heart raced, every second feeling like a painful and anxious struggle. He knew that once the download was complete, he would have to make a decision immediately to ensure his own safety. 0
 
 
As the data download slowly approached completion, Alex's tension reached its peak. His eyes darted back and forth between the computer screen and the incubator, knowing full well that once the test subject broke free from its restraints, he would face unprecedented danger. The test subject in the incubator seemed to have some kind of awareness of its surroundings, as its movements became more intense, as if it could sense its impending freedom. 0
 
The pipelines were being torn apart one by one, and the liquid that sustained the life of the test subject began to leak out, forming a strange puddle on the floor. At that moment, a prompt popped up on the computer screen, indicating that the data download was ninety-five percent complete, and time seemed to slow down at this critical moment. 0
 
 
Alex hesitated in his heart, knowing that he couldn't stay here for too long. Every second could mean the safety of his teammates and the success or failure of the entire mission. His fingers rested on the USB, ready to pull it out at any moment, while his other hand tightly gripped the gun, prepared to deal with any possible sudden situation. 0
 
Suddenly, cracks appeared in the glass of the incubation tank, and the struggle of the specimen became more intense. A hint of determination flashed in Alex's eyes. He knew that in a few seconds, the specimen would break free from its restraints, and he had to make a choice before that happened—evacuate immediately or continue waiting for the data to finish downloading. 0
 
 
At this moment, the final prompt finally appeared on the computer screen, indicating that the data download was complete. Alex hesitated for almost no time at all, quickly unplugged the USB, turned and rushed towards the exit. At the same time, the glass of the incubation chamber finally shattered under the frantic struggles of the subject, and liquid splattered everywhere. Alex's heart pounded like a drum, knowing that from this moment on, this mission had entered a completely new and unknown stage. 0
 
Alex's footsteps echoed in the dim corridor, his heartbeat almost competing with the sound of his steps. Behind him, the hoarse cries seemed like a harbinger of death, making the atmosphere of the secret laboratory even more eerie and terrifying. As the cries continued, a sinister atmosphere quickly spread through the space, as if some ancient and evil force had been awakened. 0
 
 
The compound eyes of the experimental creatures shimmered with an eerie light, and their awakening seemed to activate the vitality of all the XyphosInsect tribe around them. The Xyphos in the incubator began to struggle frantically, colliding with the glass walls, filling the entire laboratory with deafening shattering sounds and the distinctive low growls of the Xyphos. Each collision, each struggle, seemed to exert pressure on Alex's escape route, urging him to quicken his pace. 0
 
Alex's breathing became heavy, and he understood that once these creatures broke free from their restraints, this Secret laboratory would become a hellish place. He dared not look back, only able to rush forward with all his might, hoping that each step would take him further away from this terrifying domain. 0
 
 
However, the calls of the experimental subjects did not stop because of Alex's escape. Instead, they seemed to become more intense. As he ran, some of the Xyphos in the incubator had already begun to rupture, and some scattered Xyphos bugs began to break free from the ruptured incubator, their bodies slipping to the ground and starting to crawl slowly and unsteadily, seeking new targets. 0
 
Alex prayed in his heart, hoping to escape from this place before these creatures were fully awakened. Every step he took was a race against time, a desire for survival. In this realm of death, the only thing he could do was to escape as quickly as possible. 0
