Chapter 579: It's the Chongdongzhi Society!

The alarm blared inside the research institute as a wave of heavily armed soldiers surged in. The weapons in their hands gleamed with cold light, their eyes radiating ruthlessness and cruelty.

"Not good, it's the Chongdongzhi Society!" Okabe Rintaro's face changed drastically, a hint of fear in his voice.

"Everyone, be careful!" Li An shouted loudly, quickly mobilizing his power to prepare for battle.

Combat erupted instantly; a storm of bullets and gunfire tore through the research institute. Li An, Okabe, and others fought desperately, but the Chongdongzhi Society forces were too powerful, and they gradually fell into a bitter struggle.

"This won't work; we can't hold out much longer!" Hashida Itsuki cried out anxiously, his face filled with panic.

Just then, Shiina Mayuri was seized by the Chongdongzhi Society. She screamed in terror: "Save me, Okabe!"

"Mayuri!" Okabe Rintaro was frantic; he tried to rush over to save Mayuri regardless of the consequences, but the enemy blocked his path.

"If you don't want her to die, stop your research immediately!" the Chongdongzhi Society commander said coldly, a hint of smugness on his face.

Okabe Rintaro glared at him in fury: "You bastards, let Mayuri go!" His body trembled slightly with rage, flames of anger burning in his eyes.

Li An took a deep breath, striving to calm himself. He knew that in this situation, impulsiveness would only make things worse. He quickly analyzed the situation, trying to find a way to break out of the predicament.

"Calm down, Okabe. We cannot let them succeed." Li An spoke, his voice steady and firm, giving an inexplicable sense of security.

"But, Mayuri..." Okabe Rintaro's voice carried a hint of choking emotion, his eyes filled with pain and helplessness.

"Trust me, I will definitely think of a way." Li An patted Okabe's shoulder, his eyes revealing firm conviction.

After intense deliberation, Li An made a bold decision. According to convention, they should have gone to rescue Mayuri first, but he chose to do the opposite.

"I will go directly to the Chongdongzhi Society headquarters." Li An said, his eyes flashing with confident light.

"What? Are you crazy? This is too dangerous!" Okabe Rintaro shouted in surprise, his face full of worry.

"No, this is the only way... I used my Golden Finger to analyze the core laws of world-line divergence. Only by going directly to the Chongdongzhi Society headquarters and manipulating the world-line divergence can we plunge their internal ranks into chaos, thereby rescuing Mayuri and finding the key technology to repair the world line." Li An explained, his tone firm and unquestionable.

Hearing Li An's words, everyone, though filled with worry in their hearts, chose to trust him.

"Then you must be careful." Guo Yao stepped forward, hugging Li An tightly, tears glistening in her eyes.

"Don't worry, I will be fine." Li An gently stroked Guo Yao's hair, speaking softly.

Having finished speaking, Li An took a deep breath and walked alone toward the Chongdongzhi Society headquarters. His figure, bathed in the afterglow of the setting sun, looked somewhat lonely, yet brimming with strength.

Arriving at the Chongdongzhi Society headquarters, he found it heavily guarded, with soldiers patrolling everywhere. Li An carefully avoided the soldiers' patrols and quietly infiltrated the interior.
