Li Lin snapped back to reality, surveying his surroundings.
"Everyone, stay alert," he commanded in a low voice, his sharp gaze scanning the area.
The sound of explosions echoed around him, and the alarms blared piercingly.
Xiao Xing pressed anxiously against his leg, emitting a low whine.
Li Lin gently patted Xiao Xing's head, trying to soothe it.
"Let's evacuate amidst the chaos," Liya suggested decisively, gripping her weapon tightly.
Her voice carried urgency, but her eyes were resolute.
Li Lin nodded, his gaze fixed on the closed electronic door.
"Gear, can you unlock the electronic lock?"
Gear sprang into action, fingers flying over the keyboard.
"Give me three minutes," he replied without looking up, fully focused on the task at hand.
Li Lin turned to the subdued Hammer, his eyes sharp as a blade.
"Now, tell me your secret plan."
Hammer sneered, a glint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"You think you've won? The real big shots haven't even shown up yet."
His tone was filled with provocation, as if mocking Li Lin's naivety.
"What does it mean?" Li Lin squinted, his voice low.
The Hammer uttered two words, "The Shadow."
There was a hint of reverence in his voice. "He is the one who controls everything."
Li Lin's heart sank as he recalled the clues from before.
"Who is The Shadow?" he pressed, eager for an answer.
The Hammer shook his head, his gaze wandering.
"I don't know his true identity; I only know he manipulates the resources and conflicts in the wasteland."
Liya moved closer to Li Lin, lowering her voice.
"I noticed something strange about the tattoos on the raider; they resemble the murals in Ruined City."
Li Lin furrowed his brow, his mind racing.
"It seems everything is connected," he murmured, trying to piece together the scattered clues.
"Got it!" Gear exclaimed excitedly.
The electronic door opened with a soft hum.
The Squad streamed out, dragging The Hammer as they quickly navigated through the chaotic base.
They dodged patrolling guards, searching for an exit.
The air was thick with the scent of gunpowder and panic.
Suddenly, a shadow darted by.
Li Lin instinctively raised his gun, adrenaline surging through him.
But he quickly recognized a pair of familiar eyes, and his heart skipped a beat.
"Night Owl?" he exclaimed in surprise, lowering his weapon slightly.
Night Owl signaled for them to be quiet, his gaze scanning the surroundings warily.
He led the Squad to a hidden passage. "This is a secret exit. Follow me."
Li Lin hesitated, struggling internally.
"Why are you helping us? Didn't you betray us?"
His tone was filled with doubt and distrust.
Night Owl forced a smile, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes.
"I had no choice, but this isn't the time for explanations. We need to move."
His voice was urgent, urging the Squad to act.
The Squad moved through the dark, damp passage, the air heavy with the smell of mildew.
The sound of dripping water echoed in the narrow space, adding an eerie atmosphere.
Finally, they reached the surface.
In the distance, the base was engulfed in flames, thick smoke billowing into the sky.
"Now, it's time for an explanation," Li Lin said, keeping a wary eye on Night Owl, his gun never wavering from his body.
Night Owl took a deep breath, as if steeling himself.
"I am an undercover agent planted by Shadows within the Raiders."
This statement detonated like a bomb within the Squad.
Everyone was stunned, the air seemingly frozen.
Li Lin tightened his grip on the gun, his knuckles turning white.
"Who are you really?" His voice was low and filled with menace.
"I am an agent of the Wasteland Security Bureau," Night Owl replied softly, his gaze unwavering.
"Shadows is our codename."
"Is there still a government in the Wasteland?" Liya asked incredulously, confusion lacing her voice.
Night Owl nodded, his expression serious.
"We operate in the shadows to prevent forces like the Raiders from rising."
Li Lin frowned, his thoughts in disarray.
"What about the Starwing Beast experiment?"
This question had been troubling him, piercing his heart like a thorn.
"That was done by another organization," Night Owl said, his expression serious and his brow furrowed.
"They want to use the Starwing Beast's genes to create super soldiers."
Xiao Xing suddenly let out a warning cry, breaking the heavy atmosphere.
Li Lin immediately became alert, his muscles tensing.
"Someone's coming."
"Let's go," Night Owl urged, his tone urgent.
"I'll continue my undercover investigation on this matter; you all hide with the hammer."
Li Lin hesitated for a moment, struggling internally.
Finally, he nodded. "Take care, be careful of the Shadow."
His words carried complex emotions, both a warning and a concern.
The Squad quickly vanished into the darkness of the wasteland, their footsteps fading away.
Li Lin held Xiao Xing close, filled with questions in his heart.
Who is the true mastermind behind all of this?
Starwing Beast What is the truth behind the experiment?
These questions hung over him like a fog.
He looked down at Xiao Xing in his arms and whispered, "No matter what happens, I will protect you."
Xiao Xing nuzzled against him in response, letting out a soft chirp.
In the darkness, a pair of golden eyes flickered with a faint light, as if stars had fallen to the earth.
Li Lin felt Xiao Xing's warm body heat, and a surge of determination rose within him.
No matter how many unknowns lay ahead, he would forge ahead fearlessly.
For he knew that the truth was right before him, just waiting to be unveiled.
And he, Li Lin, would be the one to lift that veil.
The night of the wasteland enveloped them, like an endless darkness.
But Li Lin knew that dawn would eventually come.
And before that, they must navigate through the shadows until the truth was revealed to the world.
