The helicopter jolted violently in the snowstorm. Chen Mo held onto the rope tightly, looking at the "Polar Day Laboratory" behind him that had turned into a sea of flames. Zhao Jianfeng piloted the helicopter to lift up rapidly, avoiding the anti-aircraft missiles fired from the ground. "They still have a fallback plan!" Zhao Jianfeng shouted loudly. The alarm on the dashboard rang shrill, "Three armed helicopters are in pursuit!"
Zhou Yuan didn't have time to wipe the blood off his face and rummaged through the cabin for weapons: "Officer Chen, these people won't let us off easily!" He took out a modified shotgun and aimed the muzzle at the pursuing enemy aircraft. Chen Mo also picked up the machine gun, leaned out of the cabin and fired. The bullets left streaks of fire in the night sky, hitting the propeller of one of the helicopters. The enemy aircraft lost control and crashed into the ice field. The flames of the explosion illuminated the tense faces of everyone.
However, the remaining two enemy planes became even more frantic. They took turns providing cover and kept launching missiles. Chen Mo felt a sudden jolt in the fuselage. It turned out that a missile had flown past the tail of the helicopter. The powerful impact force caused the helicopter to lose its balance and start to fall rapidly. "Parachute!" Zhao Jianfeng shouted loudly and pulled the emergency lever. The three people jumped out of the cabin with parachutes on their backs. In mid-air, Chen Mo saw the silver-masked man stick out of the chasing helicopter, and the laser sight in his hand flickered on him.
After landing, Chen Mo got separated from Zhao Jianfeng and Zhou Yuan. He hid behind an ice ridge, listening to the approaching footsteps. Under the moonlight, more than a dozen people in black cold-proof suits surrounded them in a fan shape. They were well-equipped and held infrared thermal imagers. Chen Mo knew that ordinary evasion couldn't deceive these devices. He quickly took off his coat, hung it on the icicles far away, and crawled in the opposite direction, touching the cold ground himself.
The cold wind was like a knife, cutting his cheeks painfully. Chen Mo's fingers gradually lost sensation. Just as he was about to run out of energy, he heard the familiar whistle - it was Zhao Jianfeng's contact signal. He crawled over following the sound and found Zhao Jianfeng hiding in an ice cave. Inside the cave lay unconscious Zhou Yuan, whose abdomen had been cut by shrapnel and his clothes were soaked with blood.
Rescue must be found as soon as possible. Zhao Jianfeng tore open his shirt to bandage Zhou Yuan. "But we are now in the heart of Antarctica. The communication equipment was broken during the parachute jump." Chen Mo looked around and found a narrow passage deep in the ice cave, with a faint blue light shining through it. "Perhaps there's a turning point there." The two carried Zhou Yuan on their backs and walked carefully into the passage.
At the end of the passage is a hatch covered with ice and snow, on which the logo of "Ouroboros" is engraved. Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng exchanged a glance, clenched their weapons tightly and pushed open the cabin door. Inside is a small underground base. Although the equipment is old, it is still in operation. What is even more shocking is that the computers at the base store the communication records of some of the top management of "Ouroboros", which mention a mysterious plan called "Ark", seemingly having intricate connections with the "Eternal Plan".
In the computer of the underground base, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng discovered the key clue of the "Ark Project" - all the information pointed to an underwater volcano deep in the Pacific Ocean. According to the records, Ouroboros has built a huge underwater base inside the volcano, where not only the core data of the "Eternal Project" is stored, but also terminal devices capable of controlling global virus mutations.
"Lin Wei must be informed immediately so that she can provide support within the country." " Chen Mo said while copying the materials. However, when they were about to leave, they found that the exit had been blocked by the "Ouroboros" people. At the forefront was precisely the man wearing a silver mask, followed by a group of elite assassins equipped with underwater combat suits.
"Officer Chen, you are really tenacious." The man in the silver mask raised his gun. "However, your good luck should come to an end." Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng stood back to back, protecting the unconscious Zhou Yuan in the middle. A gun battle is about to break out. Bullets hit the ice wall, splashing up countless ice crystals. At a critical moment, a shrill alarm suddenly rang out at the base. It turned out that the explosion at the Antarctic laboratory had caused the ice sheet to break, and huge ice cracks were spreading towards the base.
Amid the chaos, Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng seized the opportunity to break through and, dragging Zhou Yuan, rushed into the diving cabin of the base. They activated the submarine and rushed into the icy sea water before the ice crack closed. The man in the silver mask watched the receding submarine, a sneer curling at the corner of his mouth: "Want to run?" I will let you know that the bottom of the sea is the real tomb.
The submarine was sailing in the deep sea. It was pitch-dark all around, with only searchlights illuminating the way ahead. Zhou Yuan slowly came to his senses. After learning the news of the "Ark Project", he forced himself to sit up and said, "My grandpa once mentioned that the 'Ouroboros' are researching a kind of' life code 'that can rewrite human genes. Maybe it's hidden in the underwater base."
Just then, the submarine suddenly shook violently and a torpedo brushed past it. Chen Mo looked at the radar screen. More than ten enemy submarines were approaching in an encirclement. Worse still, a huge underwater vortex emerged ahead, with extremely strong suction. We have no choice but to rush into the vortex! Zhao Jianfeng controlled the submarine and headed towards the vortex.
In the vortex, the submarine was like a leaf being hit by the wild current, and all kinds of data on the dashboard were jumping wildly. Chen Mo and Zhou Yuan held onto the handle tightly, feeling as if their internal organs were about to be jolted out. After an unknown period of time, the submarine finally broke out of the vortex, while most of the pursuing submarines were destroyed by the vortex.
However, before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the radar showed a huge volcano right ahead, with a strange blue light flickering in the crater. That was precisely the underwater base of the Ouroboros. When the submarine approached, the gate of the base slowly opened, as if a huge beast had opened its bloodthirsty mouth. What kind of danger awaited them, Chen Mo and the others had no idea at all.
The submarine slowly entered the submarine volcanic base. The moment the hatch opened, a wave of heat with a salty and fishy smell hit the face. Chen Mo, Zhao Jianfeng and Zhou Yuan, each holding a weapon, walked out of the cabin door cautiously. The interior of the base was brightly lit, with metal passageways crisscrossing. The rumbling of machinery was so loud that it hurt one's eardrums.
They moved forward along the passage, vigilantly observing their surroundings with each step. Suddenly, the display screen on the wall lit up and the person in the silver mask appeared on the screen: "Welcome to 'Ark', Officer Chen." Do you think you can stop the "Eternal Plan"? It's so ridiculous. This base stores the core program that can control the genes of humans all over the world. Once it is activated, everyone will become a puppet of the Ouroboros.
Before the words could be spoken, the hidden doors on both sides of the passage opened and dozens of guards armed with energy weapons rushed out. The beams emitted by these weapons could melt metals instantly, forcing Chen Mo and others to look for cover to hide. This can't go on like this! Zhao Jianfeng shouted, "We have to distract them and find the core control room!"
The three of them acted separately in tacit understanding. Chen Mo drew away most of the guards and engaged in a battle with the enemy through the intricate passageways. He made use of the terrain and equipment to ingeniously set traps and deal with the pursuing guards one by one. Zhao Jianfeng led Zhou Yuan to explore deeper into the base. On the way, they encountered a huge cultivation chamber, inside which a brain-like object was floating, and countless circuits were connected to the base's control system.
This might be the carrier of the "Code of life"! Zhou Yuan looked at the cultivation cabin, his eyes filled with fear. "If it is combined with the core program, the consequences would be unimaginable." Zhao Jianfeng decided to destroy the object first. He took out the bomb he carried with him and set up the timing device. However, just as they were about to leave, the man in the silver mask suddenly appeared. He was holding a remote control in his hand. As long as the button was pressed, the entire base would activate the self-destruction program.
Want to undermine the "Ark Project"? You are too naive. The man in the silver mask sneered, "However, I can give you a chance. As long as you are willing to join 'Ouroboros', I can spare your lives." Chen Mo emerged from the darkness, his eyes determined: "You're dreaming!" We are police officers. Even if we die, we won't go along with you scoundrels!
The two sides engaged in the final confrontation. Chen Mo and Zhao Jianfeng slowly approached the man in the silver mask, looking for an opportunity to seize the remote control. Zhou Yuan was looking for a way to defuse the bomb beside him to prevent the base from exploding prematurely. Just as the atmosphere was on the verge of tension, a shrill alarm suddenly rang out at the base. Lin Wei led a special forces unit to break through the wall through the passage above.
"Chen Mo, we're here to support!" Lin Wei raised her gun and fired at the guards, creating an opportunity for Chen Mo and the others. Amid the chaos, Chen Mo took the opportunity to pounce on the person in the silver mask, and the two of them wrestled on the ground. Zhao Jianfeng also joined the battle and, together with Chen Mo, subdued the person in the silver mask and snatched the remote control. However, when the silver mask was torn off, everyone was shocked to discover that the person beneath the mask was actually a senior leader of Interpol...
