Chapter 667
: Victory is certain!
In the makeshift base, Lynn inserted the USB drive into the computer, opened the cracking software, and began to crack the USB drive's password. Jason sat beside him, watching the computer screen with anticipation on his face: "Lynn, do you think this USB drive might contain detailed information about the Verus secret base? And the locations of all the Karen organization's bases in Honduras?"
“It’s hard to say,” Lynn said calmly, his eyes fixed on the computer screen. “However, judging from the fact that mutants are willing to kill to retrieve this USB drive, its contents must be very important. It might contain not only Verus’s secrets but also the core secrets of the Karen organization.”
Time ticked by, the cracking software continued running, complex code constantly appearing on the screen. Lynn's eyes remained fixed intently on the screen, not daring to relax for a moment. Jason, on the other hand, paced back and forth, appearing somewhat impatient. He was eager to know what secrets the USB drive held.
About an hour later, the cracking software beeped, indicating that the USB drive's password had been cracked. Lynn's eyes lit up, and he immediately opened the USB drive. Inside was a folder named "Secret Project".
"A secret plan?" Jason leaned closer, his face full of curiosity. "Quick, open it and see what's inside."
Lynn nodded, double-clicked to open the folder, which contained a document and a video file. He opened the document first, and its contents stunned both him and Jason.
The document meticulously records the locations of all the Karen organization's strongholds in Honduras, including abandoned manors on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa, as well as strongholds in places like La Ceva and slums. The defenses, guards, and weaponry of each stronghold are clearly documented. In addition, the document records a secret Karen organization project—the "Mutant Experimentation Project"—in which they capture ordinary citizens, conduct mutant experiments, transform them into mutants, and then recruit them to work for the Karen organization.
"How could such a thing happen!" Jason's expression changed, his tone filled with anger. "The Karen organization is too cruel, actually capturing ordinary people for experiments. It's utterly inhuman!"
Lynn's expression also became extremely solemn. He continued reading, and the document also recorded detailed information about Verus's secret stronghold, including the specific location of the abandoned manor, its defenses, the number of mutants guarding it, and Verus's recent movements—he planned to transport a batch of contraband to other countries through LaCeva Port in three days. Moreover, he had arranged to meet with the higher-ups of the Karen organization at the abandoned manor to discuss subsequent plans.
“Great!” Jason exclaimed excitedly. “We finally have detailed information on Verus’s movements and the defenses of his secret base. If we set up an ambush in La Ceva Port in three days, we can capture Verus, seize the contraband, and destroy several of Karen’s strongholds!”
Lynn nodded, a hint of relief on his face: "Yes, the contents of this USB drive are extremely important. It not only revealed the Karen organization's secret plans but also gave us detailed information about Verus's movements. Now we can formulate a detailed action plan to wipe them out in one fell swoop."
“Oh, right, and that video file too. Let’s open it and see what’s inside,” Jason said.
Lynn nodded and opened the video file. The video showed a dimly lit room filled with experimental equipment. Several people in white lab coats were conducting experiments on an ordinary citizen. The citizen struggled in agony, his skin gradually turning dark brown, and his arms becoming abnormally thick—clearly being transformed into a mutant. At the end of the video, a blurry figure appeared, wearing a black robe and a mask, obscuring his features. He said, "Speed up the experiments. We need more mutants. With enough mutants, we can control all of Honduras, even the whole world!"
“Who is this masked person?” Jason frowned. “Could he be Karen?”
“Very likely,” Lynn nodded. “His voice is very hoarse, and his demeanor is very mysterious. He should be Karen, the leader of the Karen organization. It seems that Karen’s ambition is even greater than we imagined. He wants to control the entire world by modifying mutants. That’s just wishful thinking.”
“We must stop him!” Jason said firmly. “We cannot let his plot succeed, and we cannot allow more ordinary people to be transformed into mutants and suffer.”
“Don’t worry, we definitely will,” Lynn said firmly. “Now, let’s go to the police station first and interrogate those two mutants to see if we can get more secrets about Karen and Verus out of them. Also, contact the U.S. Embassy in Honduras and ask them to send support as soon as possible. And contact Officer Rodriguez and have him arrange police forces to cooperate with us to set up an ambush in La Ceva Port three days later, capture Verus, seize contraband, and destroy all of Karen’s organization’s strongholds.”
“Understood!” Jason nodded and immediately took action, contacting the embassy and Rodriguez.
Upon arriving at the police station, Lynn and Jason immediately went to the interrogation room to question the two injured mutants. The interrogation room was dimly lit. The two mutants were handcuffed to chairs, their faces fierce, their eyes fixed on Lynn and Jason, remaining silent.
Lynn walked up to one of the mutants, pulled up a chair, sat down, and looked at him coldly: "Tell me, who is this 'master' you're talking about? Is it Karen? Where is Verus now? Is he going to transport a shipment of contraband in LaCeva Port in three days?"
The mutant gritted his teeth, glaring fiercely at Lynn, remaining silent and displaying an unyielding demeanor.
"Do you think we can't do anything just because you don't speak?" Lynn's tone turned icy. "We've already hacked your USB drive. We've seen its contents. We know everything about Karen's secret plans and Verus's movements. If you tell us now, we might get a lighter sentence. If you insist on not cooperating, death will be your only fate."
Hearing Lynn's words, the mutant's eyes flickered slightly, a hint of hesitation appearing on his face. He remained silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head, looking at Lynn, and said in a hoarse voice, "You really cracked the USB drive? You really know the master's plan?" "Of course," Lynn nodded, took out his phone, opened the document on the USB drive, and handed it to the mutant. "Look, this is your secret plan, and Verus's movements. We know everything about it. Now tell us, where is Karen? Is Verus going to transport contraband in three days?"
The mutant stared at the document on his phone, his face turning pale. He knew he could no longer hide it. Lynn and his team had already learned about Karen's secret plans and Verus's movements. Even if he didn't speak, Lynn and his team could capture Verus and destroy Karen's organization's strongholds based on the information in the document.
Finally, the mutant took a deep breath and slowly said, "Alright, I'll tell you. The 'master' we're talking about is Karen. He's currently hiding in a secret base in northern Honduras. I don't know his exact location. I'm just a low-level mutant; I'm not qualified to know Karen's exact location."
"Where is Verus now? Is he going to La Ceva Port in three days to transport contraband?" Lynn pressed.
“Varus is currently at the abandoned manor on the outskirts of Tegucigalpa,” the mutant said. “He does indeed plan to transport a shipment of contraband through the port of La Ceva in three days. This shipment, which Karen asked him to transport, contains a lot of drugs and equipment for mutant experiments. Moreover, he and Karen have agreed to meet at the abandoned manor in three days after the shipment is completed to discuss the subsequent experimental plans.”
"Anything else?" Lynn continued, "How exactly was the Karen organization's 'mutant experimentation program' implemented? How many experimental sites do you have?"
“The mutant experimentation program was personally designed by Karen,” the mutant said. “We have three experimental sites in Honduras, in Tegucigalpa, La Ceva, and a secret site in the north. Each site has a lot of experimental equipment and personnel. We capture ordinary people, bring them to the experimental sites, conduct mutant experiments, transform them into mutants, and then recruit them to work for Karen’s organization.”
“Where are those modified mutants now?” Jason asked.
“Most of the modified mutants are assigned to various outposts to guard and commit evil,” the mutant said. “Others are sent on special missions, such as intercepting suspicious persons and killing to cover their tracks, like this time, we were sent to intercept you and kill Carlos.”
Lynn nodded and wrote down everything the mutant said: "I understand. The clues you provided are very useful. As long as we can set up an ambush in La Ceva Port three days from now, as you said, we can capture Verus, seize the contraband, destroy your experimental base, and stop Karen's conspiracy."
The other mutant, seeing that his companion had already spoken, didn't insist further and slowly said, "I'd like to add something. Verus is transporting a large quantity of contraband, and many mutants are escorting him. The outpost in LaCeva Port is also heavily guarded by mutants. Intercepting the contraband and capturing Verus won't be an easy task. Furthermore, Cullen is surrounded by many powerful mutants. Finding him and destroying his secret outpost will be very difficult for you."
“We know it will be very difficult,” Lynn said firmly, “but we will not back down. The Karen organization has committed numerous atrocities, harming too many lives and families. We must completely destroy them, bring criminals like Karen and Verus to justice, restore peace to Honduras, and give justice to those who have been harmed.”
Back at their temporary base, Lynn and his team, along with Rodriguez, held an emergency meeting. They detailed the clues obtained from the USB drive and the mutants, and devised a comprehensive action plan: three days later, they would set up an ambush at La Ceva Harbor, dividing into three groups. One group would intercept mutants escorting contraband, another would seize the contraband, and the third would capture Verus. At the same time, a portion of the police force would raid three experimental bases of the Cullen organization, destroy the experimental equipment, and rescue the imprisoned civilians.
"Brothers, in three days, it will be time for us to fight to the death against the Karen organization and Verus," Lynn said to everyone with a firm tone. "This battle will be extremely difficult. We will face many dangers and there may even be casualties, but I believe that as long as we are united and go all out, we will definitely win, completely destroy the Karen organization, capture Verus, and restore peace to Honduras!"
"Understood!" the crowd responded in unison, their eyes resolute and their faces showing no fear. They knew that this battle concerned the lives and safety of too many people, and they had to go all out without the slightest hesitation.
The night before the operation, the lights stayed on all night in the makeshift base. Lynn and his team sat together, reviewing the operation plan and checking their weapons and equipment to ensure nothing was overlooked. Jason looked at everyone and said with a smile, "Brothers, tomorrow is our time to shine. Once we capture Varus and destroy the Karen organization, we can go home and reunite with our families."
“Yes,” one of the team members said with a smile, “once we finish our mission, we can go home and never have to stay in this chaotic place again, never have to face these vicious mutants again.”
Lynn looked at his team members and smiled slightly: "Brothers, you've all worked hard these past few days. Everyone is exhausted, but we can't let our guard down. Tomorrow's operation is crucial. We must be careful, cooperate closely, and ensure our own safety while also ensuring the mission is successfully completed. Remember, we are federal agents. Fighting crime and protecting the public is our duty. No matter how difficult the situation, we must persevere until victory."
"Understood!" the team members responded in unison, their eyes firm and their hearts filled with fighting spirit.
As night deepened, the streets of Tegucigalpa gradually quieted down, with only a few scattered lights illuminating the chaotic and uneasy city. Lynn stood by the window, gazing at the street outside, his eyes resolute. He knew that tomorrow's battle would be exceptionally fierce, and they would face many dangers, but he firmly believed that as long as they united and gave their all, they would surely achieve victory, completely destroy the Karen organization, capture Verus, eradicate all evil, restore peace to Honduras, and bring justice to those who had been wronged.
