"Could this button be the key to destroying the energy supply point? But if I press it incorrectly, will it lead to even more severe consequences?" Shen Jingqi was filled with hesitation. He knew this decision concerned the lives of the three of them and the fate of the entire world.

Just then, the leader of the mysterious organization noticed Shen Jingqi's intentions. He shouted, "Stop him!" and charged toward Shen Jingqi. The leader was incredibly fast and was behind Shen Jingqi in the blink of an eye.

Shen Jingqi's heart tightened; he knew time was running out. Without much thought, he evaded the leader's attacks while continuing to search for a solution on the control panel. His body wobbled under the leader's attacks, but he never gave up.

Suddenly, his hand accidentally brushed against a red button. At that moment, time seemed to freeze. Shen Jingqi was filled with fear and anxiety, unsure of the consequences this button would bring.

Instantly, the energy supply point emitted a violent tremor, and blue light began to flicker erratically. The entire laboratory trembled as if an earthquake had struck. Shen Jingqi felt a flicker of joy in his heart, knowing his actions had an effect.

But before his joy could last, he noticed something was wrong. The tremors of the energy supply point grew more intense, and the blue light flickered faster, threatening to explode at any moment. Moreover, various pieces of equipment in the lab started malfunctioning, sparks flying and smoke billowing.

"Damn, this button might not be the right way to destroy the energy supply point; it might have triggered a more severe crisis instead," Shen Jingqi thought bitterly. He tried to find a remedy on the control panel, but it was already completely out of control, with all the indicator lights flashing wildly, and the buttons rendered useless.

The leader saw this scene and smirked with satisfaction. "You foolish people, did you think you could destroy my energy supply point? Now, you'll pay for your stupidity." With that, he lunged at Shen Jingqi again, intending to kill him.

While evading the leader's attacks, Shen Jingqi contemplated countermeasures. He knew he must quickly find a way to control the energy supply point, or the entire lab would be destroyed, sealing the fates of all three of them.

In his despair, he suddenly discovered a hidden button in a corner of the control panel. It was covered by a small lid, difficult to spot without careful observation. Shen Jingqi's spirits lifted; he felt this button might be the key to solving the problem.

Taking advantage of a pause in the leader's attack, he quickly reached out and pressed the hidden button. Instantly, the energy supply point's tremors subsided, and the blue light gradually stabilized. The various lab devices returned to normal, and the smoke slowly dispersed.

Shen Jingqi breathed a sigh of relief, knowing his gamble had paid off. However, before he could catch his breath, the leader attacked again. Seeing his plan foiled, the leader was furious, and his attacks grew more insane and fierce.

Shen Jingqi found himself in crisis once more. He kept dodging the leader's attacks, sustaining multiple injuries, but he never gave up, believing that persistence would bring hope.

At this moment, Xu An and Lin Yu managed to break free from the researchers' siege and reached Shen Jingqi's side. Seeing Shen Jingqi injured, they were filled with anger and worry.

"Shen Jingqi, are you okay?" Xu An asked.

"I'm fine. Let's deal with this leader together," Shen Jingqi replied.

The three joined forces once more, engaging in fierce combat with the leader. They coordinated and supported each other, gradually gaining the upper hand. Although the leader was highly skilled, he struggled under the trio's onslaught.

In the throes of battle, Shen Jingqi spotted a flaw in the leader's defenses. He shouted, "Now, attack his left rib!" Leading by example, he attacked the leader's left rib.

Xu An and Lin Yu, hearing Shen Jingqi's call, immediately launched their assault on the leader's left rib. The leader, caught off guard by the sudden barrage, couldn't dodge in time and was struck on his left rib by the trio's attacks.

The leader screamed in agony, his body collapsing backward. He struggled to stand but was out of strength. Seizing the opportunity, Shen Jingqi and the others subdued him, tying him up with rope.

"You guys, I'll never forgive you," the leader snarled viciously.

"You should worry about yourself first," Shen Jingqi replied, knowing that even though they'd subdued the leader, the threat from the mysterious organization hadn't been entirely eliminated. They had to leave quickly and expose the organization's conspiracy to the world.

The trio gathered their belongings, ready to leave the lab. However, when they reached the lab's entrance, they found the door locked. No matter how hard they tried, it wouldn't budge.

"What's going on? Is there more danger?" Lin Yu asked anxiously.

"The door is locked; there must be some mechanism to open it," Shen Jingqi whispered urgently, his eyes scanning the control panel for clues among the dense labyrinth of buttons and indicator lights.

Xu An and Lin Yu stood by, equally filled with concern. Xu An gripped his weapon tightly, his knuckles white from the pressure. "This mysterious organization is cunning, setting traps everywhere," he said through gritted teeth, his voice tinged with anger.

Lin Yu, on the other hand, carefully observed their surroundings, alert for potential sudden dangers. "We need to devise a plan quickly; they might catch up to us at any moment," he said, a hint of tension in his voice, his body slightly tensed, ready to react to any sudden developments.

Shen Jingqi suddenly lit up, as if he had an idea. "There might be a button on the control panel that opens the lab door," he said with a hint of excitement, as if he'd grasped a lifeline.

The three of them immediately returned to the control panel. Shen Jingqi crouched down, inspecting the underside of the panel carefully, missing no detail. His fingers delicately felt the buttons, analyzing their shape and texture, trying to find the one related to the door.

Xu An and Lin Yu assisted from the sides, with one examining the panel's side and the other observing the top. Time ticked by slowly, each second feeling like an eternity. The lab was silent, the only sounds were their breathing and heartbeats, the oppressive atmosphere was nearly suffocating.

"Found it!" Shen Jingqi suddenly shouted, his finger pressed on an inconspicuous button, hidden behind a tangle of wires, impossible to find without close inspection.

Xu An and Lin Yu crowded around excitedly. "Is this the one?" Xu An asked, his voice laden with uncertainty.

Shen Jingqi nodded, "It should be. Let's give it a try." He took a deep breath and pressed the button.

As the button was pressed, the lab was filled with the soft sounds of mechanical movement. The sound seemed distant yet resonated right next to their ears. Each of their hearts was in their throats, eyes fixed on the lab door.

The door slowly opened, and a beam of bright light shone in from outside, stinging their eyes.
