Chapter 683 Underground Air Raid Shelter

The lights in the laboratory seemed slightly dim after working for a long time, and the air was filled with a tense and solemn atmosphere. Commissioner Smith was standing in front of the central console, staring closely at the data jumping on the screen. There was both anticipation and uneasiness in his eyes. The surrounding experimenters were busy, and the sounds of keyboard tapping and instrument operation intertwined into an endless symphony of scientific research.

At this moment, a rush of footsteps broke the silence of the laboratory. The door was pushed open violently, and a man with a stern face wearing a black combat uniform - Bai Ye, led a team of heavily armed soldiers into the laboratory. The soldiers quickly spread out and occupied every corner of the laboratory, holding their weapons tightly and scanning the surroundings with vigilance.

Commissioner Smith frowned, turned to look at the uninvited guest, and asked in a deep voice: "Bai Ye, what do you mean? Why did you lead troops to break into my laboratory?"

Bai Ye did not answer directly, but his eyes were fixed on the amethyst placed in a special container. He walked forward slowly, each step seemed extremely heavy, as if he was carrying a heavy burden. "Commissioner Smith, I received an urgent piece of information. This amethyst is not simple." His voice was low and powerful, conveying an unquestionable majesty.

Commissioner Smith's heart tightened, but he still maintained his composure on the surface, "Oh? I'd like to hear the details."

Bai Ye stopped, turned around, and glanced at everyone present, "According to the encrypted communications we intercepted, this amethyst is actually a high-tech device from other parallel universes. Its function is to serve as a space teleporter." A medium. Simply put, it allows creatures or substances from other worlds to travel through this crystal door to our world.”

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the laboratory instantly solidified. The experimenters looked at each other with shock and disbelief written on their faces. Commissioner Smith's face also became extremely serious, "What evidence do you have?"

Bai Ye took out an encrypted document from his pocket and handed it to Commissioner Smith, "This is the decoded communication content, which describes in detail the purpose and transmission mechanism of the amethyst. At the same time, we have also monitored the movements of our world in the recent period. There are abnormal fluctuations in the energy field, and these fluctuations are highly consistent with the position of the amethyst."

Commissioner Smith took the document and glanced through it quickly, frowning. He looked up at Bai Ye, "If this is true, then those strange birds..."

"That's right," Bai Ye took over, "those strange birds were probably teleported to this world through the amethyst. They may just be the vanguard, and more dangerous beings may be behind."

The atmosphere in the laboratory became more tense, and the experimenters began to talk quietly. Commissioner Smith took a deep breath and tried to calm down the turmoil in his heart, "Bai Ye, what is your proposal?"

"We must immediately isolate the amethyst and take measures to prevent further transmission." Bai Ye's eyes were firm, "I need you to stop all research on the amethyst until we thoroughly understand its origin and potential threats."

Commissioner Smith hesitated for a moment, knowing the importance of the study but also the urgency of the situation at hand. Finally, he nodded, "Okay, I agree to temporarily suspend the research. But you must promise to notify me as soon as there is new progress or solutions."

Bai Ye nodded slightly, "This is natural. But before that, I hope you can arrange people to help us move the Amethyst to a safer place."

Commissioner Smith looked at the surrounding experimenters and ordered: "Everyone, please follow Bai Ye's instructions. We need to transfer the Amethyst to the underground air raid shelter as soon as possible, where there are sufficient defense facilities to deal with possible risks."

The experimenters responded to the call and began to prepare for the transfer in an nervous and orderly manner. They carefully removed the amethyst from the special container, put it into a special metal box, and installed multiple safety locks. Soldiers are responsible for escorting the boxes to ensure the safety of the entire transfer process.

As the amethyst was slowly moved out of the laboratory, Commissioner Smith kept his eyes on it, with mixed feelings in his heart. He regrets the scientific discoveries that may have been missed and worries about the unknown challenges he will face. Bai Ye stood aside, observing everything solemnly, as if he could foresee the coming storm.

On the way to the underground bomb shelter, soldiers surrounded the metal box tightly, taking every step with extreme caution. The air around them seemed to freeze, and only their heavy footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. Commissioner Smith and Bai Ye walked side by side at the front of the team, and their conversation continued intermittently.

"Baiye, how much of a threat do you think these creatures from other worlds pose to us?" Commissioner Smith's voice was filled with worry.

Bai Ye pondered for a moment, "It's hard to estimate. Different parallel universes have different rules and power systems, and we can't predict what they will bring. But no matter what, we must prepare for the worst."

Commissioner Smith nodded, secretly thinking about a response strategy. He knew that the days to come would not be peaceful, and all they could do was do their best to protect the peace of the world.

With the metal boxes safely placed deep in the underground bomb shelters, soldiers began to set up tight defenses. Commissioner Smith and Bai Ye stood aside and watched all this quietly. They all knew in their hearts that the battle over Amethyst had just begun.

Deep in the underground air-raid shelter, the lights were dim and soft, adding a touch of subtle warmth to the tense atmosphere. Bai Ye and Commissioner Smith stood by the metal box, watching the soldiers busy setting up fortifications until everything settled down temporarily. They walked to the simple rest area on the side, where an old wooden table and several folding chairs were placed.

Bai Ye took out the tea set from the locker with ease, and skillfully boiled water and scalded the cups. Every step revealed his respect and love for the tea ceremony. Commissioner Smith sat at the wooden table, following Bai Ye's movements with his eyes, and felt a rare sense of tranquility in his heart.

"I didn't expect you to have such a skill." Commissioner Smith smiled, with a little appreciation in his tone.

Bai Ye smiled slightly, poured the brewed tea into two exquisite teacups, and pushed a cup to Commissioner Smith, "Occasionally, you need to relax. Tea is my best companion."

The two gently picked up the teacups, took a sip, and let the warm tea flow slowly on the tip of their tongues, bringing a trace of indescribable comfort. The fragrance of tea permeated the air, as if it could wash away the dust in the soul.

"Speaking of which, this matter is really a headache." Commissioner Smith put down the teacup, frowned slightly, and seemed to remember something unpleasant, "Do you know? In the previous battle, I accidentally smashed the window of a furniture store, and now I have to pay for it."

Bai Ye couldn't help laughing when he heard it, "Oh? This doesn't sound like your style, Commissioner Smith."

"Oh, don't mention it." Commissioner Smith shook his head, with a trace of helplessness on his face, "The situation was urgent at the time, and I didn't think much about it, so... Now the owner came to the door and asked for compensation. You say that in this world, how can even furniture stores be so difficult to deal with?"

Bai Ye chuckled and patted Commissioner Smith on the shoulder, "Don't take it to heart, it's all a small matter. After all, you are fighting for the safety of this world, and that little loss is just a spice for your heroic behavior."

Commissioner Smith couldn't help laughing when he heard it, and the depression in his heart instantly dissipated. "You're right. Compared to the threats that may come from other worlds, this little thing is really not worth mentioning."

The two continued to sip tea, and the topic gradually deepened. They talked about their pasts, shared each other's dreams and regrets; they explored the mysteries of science, and were full of curiosity and awe for the unknown world. In this small space, time seemed to become slow and long, making people forget the disturbances and dangers of the outside world.

"Bai Ye, do you think we can really deal with all this?" Commissioner Smith suddenly asked, with a hint of uncertainty in his eyes.

Bai Ye stared into the distance, with a firm light in his eyes, "I believe we can. No matter how many difficulties and challenges there are in the future, as long as we keep our faith, nothing is impossible."

Commissioner Smith nodded, drawing strength from Bai Ye's words. He picked up the teacup again and clinked the cup with Bai Ye gently, "Cheers to our future!"

The two smiled at each other and drank the tea in the cup. At that moment, they seemed to be ready to face the coming storm. No matter where the storm came from, they would work hand in hand to protect the peace of this world together.

As the fragrance of tea slowly drifted in the air, Commissioner Smith and Bai Ye were immersed in a rare tranquility. At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps broke the silence, and a soldier came slowly with a tray with several exquisite biscuits and several plates of tempting pastries on it.

"Captain Bai Ye, Commissioner Smith, these are the snacks that the kitchen has just made, please enjoy them." The soldier's voice was respectful but warm. After gently placing the tray on the table, he quickly stepped aside and waited for instructions.

Bai Ye looked up, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "You came just in time, we are a little hungry." He said while motioning Commissioner Smith to taste these snacks.

Commissioner Smith also seemed a little surprised. He picked up a biscuit and took a bite. It was crispy and delicious, sweet but not greasy, which made him nod his head, "Not bad, it tastes very good."

Seeing this, Bai Ye also picked up a piece of pastry and tasted it carefully. The two ate and talked, and the topic turned from the tea ceremony to the making of these snacks, and seemed to have temporarily forgotten the tension and danger of the outside world.

"These snacks are really well made. It seems that our chefs are also versatile." Commissioner Smith smiled, his eyes flashing with appreciation for the food.

"Yes, it is rare to be able to maintain such skills in such an environment." Bai Ye echoed, and at the same time, he couldn't help but admire the professionalism and optimism of the soldiers.

As time went by, the snacks on the table were gradually swept away by the two. Bai Ye put down the empty plate in his hand, glanced at the busy soldiers, and a warm current surged in his heart. He knew that although these soldiers looked strong and fearless on the surface, they actually needed rest and relaxation.

So he stood up, walked among the soldiers, and announced loudly: "Everyone has worked hard, now it's your turn to rest. It's enough to leave a few cameras to monitor Amethyst, and others can go eat something or take a short break."

The soldiers heard this and smiled gratefully on their faces. They handed over their work quickly and orderly. After leaving a few soldiers in charge of monitoring, the rest of them found a place to sit down, eat, or close their eyes to rest, and the entire underground air-raid shelter suddenly had a more relaxed atmosphere.

Commissioner Smith looked at this scene and felt relieved. He understood that at such a moment, it was equally important to maintain the morale and combat effectiveness of the soldiers. Bai Ye obviously realized this, and his decision not only reflected his care for the soldiers, but also showed his wisdom and determination as a leader.

"Bai Ye, you did a good job." Commissioner Smith said softly, with praise in his tone.

Bai Ye smiled slightly without saying too much. He knew that his duty was to protect the safety of this world, and all this was inseparable from the support and dedication of the soldiers. He walked to the monitoring screen and carefully checked the situation of Amethyst to make sure everything was under control.

At this time, the underground air-raid shelter was quiet, with only the slight hum of the monitoring equipment and the occasional whispers of the soldiers. Commissioner Smith and Bai Ye sat aside, continued to sip tea, occasionally talked a few words, and enjoyed this rare quiet time.

However, they all knew that this peace was only temporary. The mystery of Amethyst has not yet been solved, and threats from other worlds may come at any time. But they believed that as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

As time went by, night gradually fell. The lights in the underground air-raid shelter became more dim and soft, adding a bit of mystery and uneasiness to the tense atmosphere. But no matter how the outside world changes, Commissioner Smith and Bai Ye firmly believe that they will be able to protect the world until the last moment...

The soldiers gathered in twos and threes, some leaning against the wall, and some sitting on simple chairs, enjoying this rare leisure time. One of them took out a cigarette, lit it and took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled white smoke, which lingered in the air, as if taking away the fatigue and tension of the past few days.

"Hey, have you heard? There are new rumors outside recently." A soldier lowered his voice and said mysteriously, attracting his companions around him.

"What rumors? Tell me quickly." Another soldier asked curiously.

"It is said that there is some incredible power hidden in the amethyst that can change the world pattern." The first soldier continued to speak mysteriously, with excitement in his eyes.

"Really? Then why are we still here? Can't we just dig it out?" Someone said half-jokingly, causing a burst of laughter.

Amid the laughter, the soldiers temporarily forgot the difficulty and danger of the mission. They joked with each other and shared their stories and experiences. In this small space, smoke and laughter intertwined, forming a warm but slightly bitter picture.
