"So powerful?"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue were both surprised.

"Yes."The old man nodded. "Put them on quickly. We must move fast."

Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue put on the helmets without hesitation. Then they closed their eyes and silently thought: Abandoned warehouse in the southern suburbs. When they opened their eyes, they were already inside the warehouse. Not far from them lay the nest of that mysterious faction.

"It seems we arrived a step too late."Zhao Ruoxue said immediately upon seeing the scene before her, "They have already come."Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue exchanged a glance, then immediately rushed toward the nest of that mysterious faction. They knew very well that now was not the time to be shocked, but the time to act as quickly as possible.

They passed through the main gate of the warehouse and immediately saw a huge machine. In the center of the machine was a massive cylinder, inside which seemed to be countless tiny insects. On the surrounding screens were various complex numbers and charts.

"What is this?"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue asked simultaneously.

"This is their teleportation machine."The old man said indifferently. "These tiny insects are used to invade human brains."

"What?"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue were shocked again.

"Yes."The old man nodded and explained, "These insects can spread through the air and then invade human brains. As long as they wish, they can control anyone they want to control."

"This is too terrible."Zhao Ruoxue said. "We must stop them."

"But how can we stop them?"Zhao Yang asked.

"You don't need to worry about this."The old man smiled slightly, took out a remote control from his pocket, and pressed a button on it. Immediately, a large hole opened in the middle part of the machine. It was empty inside, but soon a person appeared within it.

This person wore black clothes and had a helmet on his head. He looked very weak, yet he swam toward the old man with great excitement.

"Boss, you succeeded!"That person shouted excitedly. "You really succeeded!"

"Yes, I succeeded."The old man said indifferently. "Now, our mission is complete. Next, it is your turn."

After speaking, the old man turned and left the place. The man in black immediately rushed toward the machine. In his hand he held a dagger, which he forcefully stabbed into the cylinder in the middle of the machine. Immediately, the machine emitted a "buzzing" sound and then stopped.

"Great, we succeeded!"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue cheered.

But they were happy too soon. When the man in black pulled out the dagger, a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Next, a remote control appeared in his hand, and he pressed a button on it. Immediately, the entire warehouse erupted with a violent explosion.

"Ah!"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue both screamed. They never expected such a thing to happen. But they had no time to be shocked or to flee, because they had already been blown out by the shockwave of the explosion. Then, they lost consciousness.

When Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue woke up again, they found themselves back in the old man's laboratory. The old man also entered at that moment.

"Why are you here?"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue asked simultaneously. "And what happened to us?"

"Don't ask so many questions."The old man said indifferently. "You are safe now. But next, I need to tell you some very important things."Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue exchanged a glance and both saw the confusion in each other's eyes. Although they were unclear about exactly what had just happened, the old man's tone and gaze made them choose silence.

"This mysterious faction,"the old man continued, "their target is not Yanjing, but the entire Earth."

"What?"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue both cried out in shock.

"Yes."The old man nodded and said with a solemn face, "Their teleportation machine is their trump card. As long as they activate this machine, they can control all humans. But this machine also has a weakness, namely the remote control in the hand of that man in black just now."

"That remote control?"Zhao Ruoxue asked. "Didn't you say that man in black was already dead?"

"He is indeed already dead."The old man said indifferently. "But hidden inside his corpse is a remote control that can activate the teleportation machine. As long as his corpse remains, the machine can be activated with the remote control."

"This is too terrible."Zhao Yang said. "Then what must we do to stop them?"

"We must get that remote control into our hands."The old man said indifferently. "Then, we can shut down the teleportation machine and prevent them from controlling humans."

"But how can we get the remote control into our hands?"Zhao Ruoxue asked.

"You don't need to worry about this Yue!! Feiqun 85766; 34'42 free,! extract' times!? Yuanji' hedgehog pineapple look group intro add!. q"free accept five, discount; purchasing agent

Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue both breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately asked: "What next? What must we do to shut down that teleportation machine?"

"You don't need to worry about this."The old man smiled slightly, then pressed a button on the remote control. Immediately, the teleportation machine in the middle of the warehouse emitted a "buzzing" sound and then stopped.

"Great!"Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue cheered. "We succeeded!"

"Yes."The old man nodded, then turned and walked toward an instrument. After he entered a string of passwords, a drawer slowly opened, revealing a document inside.

"What is this?"Zhao Yang asked curiously.

"This is my resignation letter."The old man said indifferently. "I originally planned to leave everything of this organization here. But since you already know so much, I no longer intend to hide it. I want to ask you to take my place and become the new generation of guardians."

Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue were both stunned. They never expected the old man to say this.

"We..."Zhao Ruoxue stammered, "We have no experience..."

"You don't need to worry about this."The old man smiled slightly, then took out something resembling a compass. "This can guide you to complete the mission. As long as you act according to the instructions on it, you will surely succeed."

Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue exchanged a glance, then both looked at the compass in the old man's hand. Without the slightest hesitation, they accepted that compass.

"Thank you."Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoxue said simultaneously. "We will work hard to complete the mission."

The old man nodded, then walked toward a direction. After he stopped, a wall slowly opened, revealing an elevator inside. Before the elevator doors slowly closed, the old man left one sentence:

"Remember, your mission is to protect Yanjing, to protect humanity. This is your responsibility."

"Yes."

The elevator closed quickly.

"What should we do now?"Zhao Ruoxue asked.

"Go home."Zhao Yang smiled.

The two exchanged a smile, then left the warehouse.

"Brother, wait."Just then, Zhao Ruoyu chased out. She ran to the front of the two, her face flushed as she said, "Come find me tomorrow morning."After speaking, she lowered her head and, like fleeing, darted into the house.

"She..."Zhao Yang was instantly stunned.

"Brother, don't you understand yet?"Zhao Ruoxue said with a mischievous smile. "Sister Ruoyun likes you."

"Really?"Zhao Yang was instantly excited. Of course he also understood what Zhao Ruoxue meant; Zhao Ruoyun obviously wanted him to help resolve the engagement matter with the Qin family.

"Could it be that Ruoyun doesn't know her own feelings yet?"Zhao Yang suddenly felt something strange, then shook his head. "Never mind, let's go back and talk about it first."

After the two returned to Zhao Ruoxue's home, after washing up, they lay in bed to sleep. Zhao Yang tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Finally, he couldn't help but quietly push open the quilt and sneak out.

He climbed Zhao Ruoshui's window with great familiarity, then slid down along the rope.

"Hmm?"Zhao Ruoshui opened her beautiful eyes wide, looking at Zhao Yang standing before her.

"Hehe..."Zhao Yang scratched his head and let out a few dry laughs.

"What are you doing?"Zhao Ruoshui frowned and said. "Climbing through a window into someone else's room in the middle of the night, what do you want?"

"I... I've come to bring you something," Zhao Yang said.

"Bring something?" Zhao Ruoshui looked at Zhao Yang in confusion.

"Mm." Zhao Yang took out a remote control and placed it in Zhao Ruoshui's hand, saying, "This is what my father gave you. Take a look; is this that teleportation machine?"

"What is this?" Zhao Ruoshui's eyes widened. "Where did you get it?"

"Your father told me tonight. He said your grandfather, that is, Zhao Ruoyu's grandfather, was once a soldier and even saved his life, so he owes him a great debt. Therefore, he hopes we can use this opportunity to eliminate the danger in Yanjing. Then, he also said that if we can eliminate the danger this time, he will agree to let Zhao Ruoyu marry me."

"That bastard." Zhao Ruoshui ground her teeth. "He actually sold Ruoyu to you."

"Hehe, I'm your younger brother, you know. It's one thing for you to scold me, but you even scolded your grandfather." Zhao Yang said gloomily.

"Hmph, I just want to scold him. Who told him to betroth Ruoyu to Qin Feng, that little hooligan?" Zhao Ruoshui said coldly.

"Ahem, well, although Qin Feng is a prodigal, he is actually quite devoted to Ruoyu. Moreover, Sister Ruoshui, you are also beautiful, so if the two of them combined, it would be quite a match." Zhao Yang said dryly.

"Hmph." Zhao Ruoshui glared fiercely at Zhao Yang and said, "Even so, it's not your turn."

"Alright, let's get back to the matter at hand." Zhao Yang quickly changed the subject and said, "What should we do now?"

"According to what father instructed, we need to destroy the core components of the teleportation machine and demolish it to seal this teleportation device. Moreover, we must avoid harming innocent civilians as much as possible; otherwise, the teleportation machine will self-destruct." Zhao Ruoshui said seriously.

"Then let's take it outside first to study it and see how to destroy it." Zhao Yang said.

"Good." Zhao Ruoshui said, "I will contact personnel immediately to prepare moving tools."

"Mm." Zhao Yang nodded.

Thus, Zhao Yang and Zhao Ruoshui went their separate ways. After Zhao Yang went outside, he jumped directly and quickly arrived at the top of a Shanfeng. Then, Zhao Yang took out the black crystal, and after injecting Yuanli, the black crystal emitted a dazzling light.

Zhao Yang closed his eyes and carefully felt the feedback from the black crystal. Soon, Zhao Yang felt the message transmitted from the black crystal.

Inside that crystal was all the information he needed about the teleportation machine.

However, relying solely on this crystal, it was impossible to destroy the teleportation machine.

"Bastard, you told me to take it out, how am I supposed to take it out?" Zhao Yang couldn't help but mutter a curse.

Afterwards, Zhao Yang carefully asked the black crystal about other things. The most important point was that destroying the core components of the teleportation machine could stop the teleportation machine from continuing to operate.

"Which bastard designed this teleportation machine? It actually requires removing the core components to destroy it?" Zhao Yang couldn't help but curse.

Because Yanjing is the core area of the teleportation machine, if Zhao Yang wanted to destroy the teleportation machine, he would need to remove the core components from the teleportation machine. And this process, even if Zhao Yang could complete it, would take more than a week. Moreover, relying solely on Zhao Yang alone, it would be impossible to remove the core components.

"I've got it." Zhao Yang suddenly had a thought in his heart.

Afterwards, Zhao Yang took out his mobile phone and then sent a message to Zhao Ruoshui. The content was very simple, only four characters: Open the door.

"This... mysterious guy." Zhao Ruoshui rolled her Bai Yan.

Although she didn't know what Zhao Yang was up to, she still opened the Damenkou, and then pressed a button on the remote control. The small door inside the warehouse opened. Afterwards, Zhao Ruoshui saw several figures appear inside the small door.

"Let them in." Zhao Yang suddenly said.

"You..." Zhao Ruoshui was stunned for a moment. But she still did as Zhao Yang said.

Soon, those few men in black clothes arrived at the Damenkou. One of them was even carrying a large box. And on his wrist, a small box was handcuffed.
