Chapter 175: The Future Crisis
The soldiers caught up, but found the hidden door already closed, so they could only stop helplessly. One soldier angrily kicked the wall: "Damn it! They got away!"
Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu took a breath behind the hidden door, grateful to have temporarily escaped danger.
They continued forward and finally found the exit of the temple.
When the experts saw the slab in their hands, it immediately caused a huge commotion. The experts gathered around, carefully studying the symbols on the slab, their eyes gleaming with awe and excitement.
"This... This is indeed a blueprint of future technology!" one expert exclaimed excitedly, "These symbols perfectly match the principles of a critical technology we've been researching! And this technology is exactly the key to solving the current world energy crisis!"
Soon, Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu entered into a regular time travel training session, unexpectedly swept by an unknown force into a strange future world. When they steadied themselves and looked around, they found it was an era of highly advanced technology, skyscrapers everywhere, aircraft shuttle in the sky, and intelligent robots seen everywhere, everything felt so advanced and prosperous.
However, the air was permeated with an indescribable oppressive and uneasy atmosphere. People rushed about with no hint of a smile on their faces, as if everyone was carrying a heavy burden. Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu exchanged glances, and a vague premonition rose in their hearts.
They walked along the bustling streets, surrounded by endless crowds and towering buildings. Neon lights flashed, and the images on the billboards kept changing, showcasing the latest technology products and fashion trends. But Shen Jingqi noticed that although everything seemed so prosperous, people's eyes were filled with fear and despair, as if something unspeakable was hidden behind.
"What on earth happened here?" Shen Jingqi couldn't help but wonder aloud. He grabbed a hurried passerby wanting to inquire more but the person just shook their head, broke free from his grasp, and continued hastily onward.
Li Baiyu shook his head, also filled with unease: "I don't know, but I sense a huge crisis looming here. People's expressions are too off, as if the entire world is shrouded in a shadow."
They decided to ask around, trying to uncover the mystery of this future world. In a dimly lit small bar, they met an elderly bartender. The bartender's eyes revealed a profound depth, as if he had witnessed all the changes in this world.
"You're new here, right?" the bartender asked softly while wiping the glass in his hand.
Shen Jingqi nodded: "That's right, we came from another world. What's exactly happening here? Why is everyone so fearful and desperate?"
The bartender sighed, lowered his voice: "There's a global disaster about to unfold here, and behind it all is an evil force known as the 'Shadow Organization.' They intend to control the entire world, making everyone live in fear and enslavement."
Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu began searching everywhere for clues about the 'Shadow Organization.' They moved through every corner of the city, questioning everyone who might know. However, the 'Shadow Organization' seemed to be like a ghost, with no one willing to mention their name, and no one knowing their whereabouts.
Finally, in a remote corner, they discovered a mysterious flyer. The flyer had a strange symbol on it and some blurry text: "To know the truth, come to the underground base and find me."
Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu decided to sneak into the underground base to explore further.
At nightfall, they arrived at the location indicated on the flyer. It was an abandoned factory, surrounded by weeds, desolate. They cautiously bypassed the guards and sneaked inside the factory.
The factory's interior was a massive underground base, filled with a maze of complex passages and secret rooms. They cautiously moved forward, evading patrolling guards and surveillance cameras.
In one secret room, they discovered the 'Shadow Organization's' plan book. The plan book was placed in a sealed safe, which detailed the 'Shadow Organization's' conspiracy and action steps. Shen Jingqi carefully opened the safe and took out the plan book.
He flipped through the plan book, its contents filled him with alarm. It turned out the 'Shadow Organization' planned to use an advanced biological weapon to trigger a global plague. This plague could not be cured by any conventional means, only the 'Shadow Organization' had the antidote. They intended to use this to coerce world governments and control the entire world.
The plan book also detailed the specific time and place the plague was going to occur, and how the 'Shadow Organization' would spread this biological weapon. Shen Jingqi looked at the contents of the plan book, a strong sense of anger and urgency surged in his heart.
They quickly left the underground base, found a hidden place, and started contacting the Time Administration Bureau. Soon after, a support team from the Time Administration Bureau arrived. They were a team of elite agents, each possessing extraordinary skills, ready to take on the 'Shadow Organization'.
In a thrilling battle, they engaged in fierce conflict with the guards of the 'Shadow Organization.' Gunshots and explosions echoed, turning the entire underground base into a battlefield.
Finally, they successfully destroyed the 'Shadow Organization's' base, seizing all biological weapons and antidotes. When the smoke cleared, they saw smiles and hope returning to people's faces. Those who had been shrouded in fear and despair, now finally freed from the shadows, welcomed a new dawn.
Shen Jingqi and Li Baiyu looked at each other, hearts filled with relief and satisfaction. Their clothes were soaked with sweat, faces covered with smoke and bloodstains, but their eyes were shimmering with the light of victory.
"We did it!" Shen Jingqi shouted excitedly. He tightly embraced Li Baiyu, feeling each other's heartbeats and breaths.
Li Baiyu also smiled and nodded: "Yes, we did it. We stopped this disaster from happening and saved this world."
This victory wasn't by chance. It was achieved through their unwavering faith, remarkable courage and wisdom, and the synergy and cooperation within the team.
After the battle ended, they returned to the Time Administration Bureau. The director personally met with them, giving high praise for their heroic performance.
"You did exceptionally well on this mission!" the director said, patting their shoulders, "You not only thwarted the 'Shadow Organization's' conspiracy but also saved countless innocent lives. You are the pride of the Time Administration Bureau!"
