Chapter 609: Shadow Core
He is tracking the digital footprints of the core members of the "Shadow", trying to find a clue from the massive amount of data. Suddenly, a message on the screen caught his attention: "Night Stalker" briefly logged into an anonymous chat app after fleeing the trading scene and briefly communicated with a user named "Phoenix".
Xu Mo quickly intercepted the content of the conversation, only to see the "night owl" write: "The plan failed, the police intervened, and suffered heavy losses." New sources of funding must be found as soon as possible, otherwise all efforts will be in vain. β
"Phoenix" replied: "I have arranged a fund for you, but you need to help me with one thing. There's a guy named Apocalypse, and he has the information I desperately need. Find him, no matter what method you use, you have to get that information. β
Xu Mo's heart sank, he knew that the name "Phoenix" represented an extremely powerful force in the underground world, and it was inextricably linked to "Shadow". If the "Night Stalker" joins forces with the "Phoenix", it will undoubtedly bring a greater threat to Enjing's team.
He immediately reported the discovery to Eun Jing, who frowned upon hearing this: "'Phoenix' intervened in this matter, and things have become complicated. We must preemptively find the 'Apocalypse' and protect that information. β
Xu Mo nodded: "I have started to track the flow of the 'Night Stalker's funds, hoping to find his hiding place. At the same time, I will also investigate the identity and location of the Apocalypse. β
Xia Lan continued: "I will continue to go deep into the underworld to see if I can get more news about the 'Night Stalker' and 'Phoenix' from the informant." In addition, I will also strengthen the monitoring of the remnants of the Shadow to prevent them from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble. β
Li Yang proposed: "We should issue the wanted warrants for 'night owls' and 'phoenix' to the public through the media, and use the power of citizens to expand the scope of the search." At the same time, I can write an in-depth report on 'Phoenix', expose the dark deals behind it, and put pressure on it. β
Enjing looked at them with satisfaction, and her tone was firm: "Very good, let's act separately, we must bring the 'Night Stalker' and 'Phoenix' to justice and protect that information." Remember, our goal is not only to defeat the enemy, but also to keep the city safe and orderly. β
Everyone was ordered to leave, and a new round of competition quietly unfolded in silence. Enjing, Xu Mo, Xia Lan and Li Yang will continue to fight against the evil forces and use their wisdom and courage to write their own heroic legends.
At the same time, in all corners of the city, people are talking about the heroic deeds of the Enjing team, full of admiration and expectation for them. A little boy stood by the window, looked up at the starry sky, and whispered to himself: "When I grow up, I want to be like Officer Eunjing, protect the city, and defeat the bad guys." β
When night fell, the lights were dim, and the figures of Enjing, Xu Mo, Xia Lan, and Li Yang loomed in the night, their steps were firm, their eyes sharp, like hunters in the dark night, always alert for any possible danger signals.
In the streets and alleys, people are talking a lot, and their names are like thunder, which has become a hot topic of discussion among citizens after dinner. A uniformed taxi driver rolled down his window and struck up a conversation with an acquaintance on the side of the road: "Have you heard? Officer Enjing, they have made a great contribution again! That ghost dance Chiba and 'night owl', how arrogant the guys, haven't they been cleaned up yet? I told you that if there weren't a few of them in this city, I don't know what the chaos would be! β
"Not really!" The other party responded, his eyes full of admiration for the four heroes, "Especially Officer Enjing, the women don't let the eyebrows, that aura, that courage, it's just impressive." And Xu Mo, that kid is simply a living computer, and no information can escape his eyes. Xia Lan, the well-known 'Iron Lady' in the underworld, has a terrifying wide network, with her, where do those glamorous spirits in the underworld dare to be presumptuous? As for Li Yang, his pen is like a sword, and every word is heart-wrenching, exposing the ugly faces of those criminals. β
Not far away, on a park bench, two elderly people were leisurely playing chess. One of them looked up at the starry sky and said with emotion: "These young people are really the pride of our city. They are undaunted in the face of evil, in order to protect us ordinary people from living in peace. My old man has lived most of his life and has seen a lot of things, but it is really rare to see someone as responsible and courageous as them. β
However, beneath the calm surface of the city, an undercurrent is surging. Enjing's team knows that the core members of the "Shadow" organization have not yet been caught, and what is even more worrying is that the mysterious and powerful "Phoenix" has intervened. On Xu Mo's computer screen, strings of codes jumped and flickered, like stars in the night sky, guiding him to trace the traces of the "night owl". He stared at the screen, his fingers jumping on the keyboard like a piano, his grim face full of concentration.
"Found it!" Xu Mo suddenly let out a low sigh, and everyone's eyes instantly focused on him. He pointed to an address on the screen, his voice firm: "The Night Stalker's hiding place should be here, in an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city. β
Enjing immediately ordered: "Xu Mo, you continue to track the flow of funds to prevent the 'Night Stalker' from being transferred again." Xia Lan, you contact the police to arrange a raid. Li Yang, write a press release, and once the action is successful, it will be released to the public immediately. β
The night deepened, and there was silence around the abandoned factory, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects. Enjing, Xu Mo, Xia Lan, Li Yang, and a team of heavily armed special police quietly surrounded the factory. Eun Jing's eyes were like torches, and she commanded in a low voice: "Action!" β
With an order, the SWAT officers rushed into the factory like arrows from the string, and the sound of gunfire and shouting instantly broke the silence of the night. Enjing, Xu Mo, Xia Lan, and Li Yang followed, each showing their strengths and engaging in fierce confrontations with the "Night Owl" and his accomplices. In the flash of lightning, Enjing made a sharp kick and approached the door of the "Night Stalker", who hurriedly dodged, but revealed a flaw. Xu Mo took the opportunity to release the electromagnetic pulse, paralyzing the electronic equipment of the "Night Stalker", making it passive. Xia Lan grabbed an underworld element who was trying to escape with lightning speed, and said coldly: "Don't move, otherwise I don't mind letting you taste the knife in my hand." β
Li Yang held a camera and shuttled between the rain of bullets and bullets, recording every thrilling picture. His eyes are resolute, as if the camera in his hand is his weapon, using the lens to expose sin and promote justice.
The battle heats up, and Eun Jing and the Night Stalker start a life-and-death duel. The figures of the two were staggered, fists and feet touched, and the air was filled with tension and murderous aura. Enjing's eyes were like torches, and she said sharply: "'Night owl', your end has come!" β
The "Night Stalker" sneered, and a hint of madness flashed in his eyes: "Enjing, you are too naΓ―ve. Do you think you'll be all right if you catch me? Tell you, the real game has just begun! β
Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly detonated the miniature bomb hidden on his body, and the shock wave of the explosion instantly swept through the entire factory. The smoke and dust were everywhere, the vision was blurred, and Enjing and the others were shaken to the ground. When the smoke gradually cleared, only a huge crater was left where he was standing in the position of the "Night Stalker", and he disappeared in the explosion!
Shocked by the others, Enjing and the others quickly launched a search, but failed to find any trace of the "night owl". Xu Mo inspected the scene and frowned: "It is very likely that the 'Night Stalker' has arranged an escape route in advance, and we have to find him as soon as possible." β
Xia Lan gritted her teeth: "This cunning guy can always slip out of our hands. However, he can't escape, sooner or later, we will make him pay! β
Li Yang put away his camera and said in a deep voice: "I will report tonight's events truthfully, so that the public can know the sinister intentions of the 'Night Stalker'." At the same time, I will continue to dig deeper into the background of 'Phoenix' and uncover the collusion between them and 'Shadow'. β
Enjing's eyes were firm and looked into the distance: "No matter how powerful the 'Night Stalker' is to the ends of the earth, no matter how powerful the 'Phoenix' is, we will not retreat." Because, we are the guardians of the city, the warriors of light against darkness. As long as evil exists, our fight will not stop. β
In the night, the ruins of the abandoned factory were still emitting faint smoke, and Enjing, Xu Mo, and Xia Lan had solemn faces and surrounded Li Yang. Li Yang was lying on the ground, his face pale, his right arm was blown to a bloody blur, blood soaked his clothes, and his expression of pain was distorted on his face.
"Li Yang! Hold on, the ambulance will be there soon! Eun Jing called out urgently, using an emergency bandage to stop the bleeding as much as possible.
"Enjing......" Li Yang squeezed out a smile with difficulty, and his weak voice was particularly weak in the night wind, "Don't worry about me, I'm fine......"
"Shut up!" Xia Lan's eyes were red, and she interrupted Li Yang's words with an angry roar, she held back her tears and held Li Yang's still movable left hand tightly, "You'll be fine, you'll definitely be fine!" β
Xu Mo squatted aside, quickly operating the laptop computer in his hand, trying to find clues to the escape of the "night owl" through the drone and the monitoring system. He glanced at Li Yang, who was struggling in pain, and his heart ached like a knife. He knew that Li Yang was suffering unimaginably at this moment, but he was still smiling and trying to comfort them.
"Li Yang, listen to me," Xu Mo tried his best to keep his voice calm, "I have locked the escape direction of the 'night owl', and the police are pursuing it with all their might." You just have to hold on and wait for us to catch him and everything will be fine. β
Li Yang nodded slightly, his eyes flashing with determination. He looked at Enjing and whispered, "Enjing, promise me that no matter what happens, you can't give up." 'Night Stalker' and 'Phoenix' won't give up easily, and our battle continues. β
Enjing held Li Yang's hand tightly, her eyes were moist, and she nodded vigorously: "I promise you, Li Yang." We will catch the 'Night Stalker' and reveal the true face of the 'Phoenix', and we will not give up for you and the city. β
The screams of the ambulance came from far and near, and the paramedics quickly rushed into the rubble and carefully carried Li Yang onto the stretcher. Enjing, Xu Mo, and Xia Lan followed closely behind, watching Li Yang being sent into the ambulance, and the moment the door closed, their hearts seemed to be tightly locked in the car.
"Li Yang, you must survive!" Xia Lan shouted at the speeding ambulance, tears finally sliding down her cheeks.
Enjing turned to face Xu Mo: "Xu Mo, you go back to the base immediately now and use all the resources to track down the 'Night Stalker'." I'll accompany Li Yang to the hospital, Xia Lan, you are responsible for contacting the police and asking them to block the surrounding area and increase the search and arrest. β
Xu Mo and Xia Lan glanced at each other and nodded their heads. They knew that Enjing's heart was full of worry and self-blame for Li Yang at this moment, but she could still make decisions calmly, this was their Enjing, the Enjing who could lead them forward bravely no matter when and where.
"Eun Jing, don't worry, I will do my best to find the 'Night Stalker' and never let him escape." After Xu Mo finished speaking, he turned around and disappeared into the night.
Xia Lan clenched her fists and looked firm: "Enjing, leave it to me at the hospital." I will take care of Li Yang, and you can command the overall situation with peace of mind. β
Enjing glanced at Xia Lan deeply, nodded vigorously, and turned around and walked to her car. She knew that she couldn't collapse at this moment, and she couldn't let sadness and despair take over her heart. Because she is Eunjing, their captain, and the guardian of the city.
The ambulance's taillights faded away in the night, and Eun Jing started the car, the roar of the engine being particularly harsh in the silence of the night. She took a deep breath, and her eyes flashed with determination: "Li Yang, we will definitely seek justice for you, no matter how much it costs or how difficult it is." Because we are the Enjing team, we will never give up! β
The night was deep, and the vehicle driven by Eun Jing was like a silver lightning bolt cutting through the silent street and heading straight for the hospital. Along the way, her heartbeat intertwined with the sound of the engine, as if playing a prelude to this impending battle of life and death.
The hospital building was brightly lit, and as soon as Enjing got out of the car, she saw Xia Lan waiting anxiously. The two looked at each other wordlessly, the worry and determination in their eyes blending together. They walked quickly into the emergency room, where the doctor was nervously operating on Li Yang. Through the glass window, Enjing and Xia Lan could only see the busy figures of the medical staff in the operating room, as well as Li Yang's body covered by white sheets.
"Doctor, how is he?" Eun Jing suppressed the panic in her heart and asked the surgeon who walked out of the operating room.
The doctor took off his mask, his face was tired but with a glimmer of hope: "Li Yang's condition is very critical, his right arm is seriously injured, and he has lost too much blood. But we have successfully stopped the bleeding and performed emergency repair surgery. The next 24 hours will be crucial, and whether he can survive the dangerous period depends on his own vitality. β
Eun Jing and Xia Lan looked at each other silently, and each other's eyes were firm and praying. They knew that Li Yang was fighting against death at this moment, and all they could do was wait and continue to pursue the "Night Stalker".
"Xia Lan, you stay here to take care of Li Yang, I have to go back to the base." Eun Jing's voice was soft, but it was full of unquestionable determination.
