Chapter 126 General Mobilization

As the concentration of the liquid gradually increases, the strength of the barrier also increases significantly.

Xiao Ran walked to the testing equipment area and found that some interfaces had gaps due to device failure.

He looked up at Su Wanqing, "Su Wanqing, we need some materials to temporarily close these gaps."

"Use the jade bracelet to generate it." Su Wanqing ordered, "Generate a portable shielding plate for temporary isolation of the site partition."

The jade bracelet started again, and soon, some black plates appeared on the ground.

Xiao Ran picked up a piece of board, checked it, and nodded.

"This material is strong enough to effectively block the spread of harmful gases."

He began using these panels to seal off the gap in the testing equipment area, and soon the entire area was cordoned off.

Lin Che stood quietly by the side. He watched Ye continue to observe the liquid generated by the jade bracelet, and a strong sense of vigilance rose in his heart.

Ye's gaze was too focused, as if he not only wanted to understand the properties of the liquid, but also had other intentions.

“Ye, what are you doing?” Lin Che asked in her mind.

Ye was silent for a moment, then he said impatiently: "I am studying the composition of this liquid. This is related to my experiment."

"Your experiment?" Lin Che asked with a hint of doubt in his tone, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Ye roared angrily: "This is my secret, you are not qualified to know it!"

Su Wanqing noticed something was wrong with Lin Che and walked over. "Lin Che, what's wrong with you?"

“I…” Lin Che hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say it out loud.

He knew that if he told Su Wanqing about what happened at night, it would only make her more worried.

"Are you okay?" Su Wanqing asked with concern.

“I just feel a little uncomfortable.” Lin Che forced a smile, “I’ll go take a rest first.”

Su Wanqing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. She knew that the relationship between Lin Che and Ye was complicated, and she didn't want to interfere too much.

She turned to look at Lu Zhao and Xiao Ran and said, "Lu Zhao, check the connection lines of all the equipment to make sure there are no safety hazards. Xiao Ran, step up vigilance to prevent accidents."

"Understood." Lu Zhao and Xiao Ran responded at the same time, and they started to get busy.

The entire testing area has regained its tense yet orderly atmosphere.

Lin Che walked to the corner alone, his eyes fixed on Ye, his heart full of vigilance.

He didn't know what Ye's conspiracy was, but he knew that he had to stay vigilant at all times to protect the safety of the team.

Su Wanqing closed the tablet in her hand and looked up at Lu Zhao, "How is the exhaust system modification going? Time is running out."

Lu Zhao took off his glasses, rubbed his brows, and said tiredly: "Based on the data simulation just now, I readjusted the direction and power of the exhaust vents and strengthened the negative pressure circulation. Now, even if harmful gases leak, they can be discharged from the test area in the shortest time. The operation guide has been sorted out and handed over to Xiao Ran for execution."

He sent an electronic document to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran quickly glanced through it and frowned: "This thing looks more complicated than defusing a bomb."

"Then bring your bomb-dismantling mood with you." Su Wanqing looked at him coldly, "This is the key to whether we can complete the test safely. If you don't have patience, find someone else."

Xiao Ran curled his lips, but still did not refute. He silently saved the operation guide.

"Don't worry, I promise to study this thing thoroughly."

Su Wanqing nodded and turned her gaze to the sample observation area.

There, Lin Che was standing in front of a row of instruments, staring closely at the data fluctuations on the screen.

Ye, or rather the being that shared Lin Che's body, was also standing there, but his expression seemed unusually calm, even with a hint of a smile.

"Lin Che, you are responsible for monitoring the reaction of the samples. If you find any abnormalities, report to me immediately." Su Wanqing ordered.

“Understood.” Lin Che’s voice was a little hoarse, as if she was holding back something.

Su Wanqing walked to a recorder and started the device skillfully.

She needs to personally record the initial diffusion data of the sample, which will be crucial for subsequent research.

At this moment, the voice of the leader of the survivors came from the communicator.

"Su Wanqing, in order to show our sincerity and ensure the fairness of the transaction, I have decided to add an experimenter to conduct on-site observation."

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. Additional experimenters? This was definitely not good news.

She keenly realized that the leader's action might have other purposes.

"Who is it?" Su Wanqing asked, trying to keep her tone calm.

"It's our base's chief biologist, Chen Ming. He is experienced and knowledgeable about mutant research. I believe he can provide you with some valuable suggestions."

The leader's tone sounded very sincere, but Su Wanqing didn't believe it at all.

Chen Ming? Su Wanqing had heard of this name. He was once a top biologist in the country, but after the virus broke out, he joined the leader and became his "royal" expert.

"I need to know his background." Su Wanqing said.

"Chen Ming? He is a veteran expert. Don't worry, he is absolutely trustworthy."

The leader interrupted Su Wanqing and said, "I'll arrange for him to come over right away."

The communication was interrupted. Su Wanqing's face turned very ugly. She knew that the leader's move must be to monitor their actions and collect first-hand data on the samples.

"This Chen Ming has a complicated background." Su Wanqing said to Lu Zhao.

"According to our investigation, he is indeed a close confidant of the leader and has made great achievements in mutant research, but..." Lu Zhao paused, "He has a close relationship with Zhao Quan and is likely related to the previous interference test."

"Sure enough." Su Wanqing sneered, "It seems that this leader really wants to sabotage our test."

She pondered for a moment, and a plan formed in her mind. "We can't let Chen Ming act freely. We must keep him under control."

She looked at Lin Che and said, "I deliberately arranged him to be in a group with Ye to closely monitor his actions. Ye's dual personality may have some unexpected effects."

Lin Che's body trembled slightly, as if he sensed something. He raised his head and looked at Su Wanqing with a complicated look, but finally nodded.

Su Wanqing looked at Xiao Ran again. "You are responsible for checking every corner of the test area, especially those remote corners. I suspect that the leader may arrange for someone to plant a remote trigger device to disrupt our test."

Xiao Ran nodded, his eyes firm. "Don't worry, I will never let them succeed."

Just as Xiao Ran began his final inspection, he suddenly stopped and frowned.

He walked to a wall in the testing area and tapped it gently with his hand.

"There's a problem here." Xiao Ran said in a serious tone, "There's a cavity behind the wall, and there's also a miniature signal transmitter installed. This was probably left by the 'maintenance man' sent by the leader, trying to remotely trigger some devices during the test."

Su Wanqing rushed over and looked at the wall that Xiao Ran pointed out. She felt a surge of anger in her heart.

The leader's plot did not disappoint her.

"Tear it down." Su Wanqing said decisively.

Xiao Ran immediately took out the tools and began to demolish the wall. Soon, a micro transmitter hidden behind the wall was discovered.

"We must be careful. The leader's methods are more sinister than we imagined." Su Wanqing said.

At the same time, Lin Che stood in the sample evacuation area and silently activated the supernatural power in his body.

His hands trembled slightly, and waves of light blue energy emanated from his body.

His abilities can effectively heal damage caused by the mutant's influence, and can provide team members with an opportunity for rapid evacuation in an emergency.

In his mind, Ye's voice sounded again: "This energy fluctuation can interfere with the mutants' perception, making it impossible for them to accurately determine our location."

Lin Che did not say anything, but silently increased the output of energy.

He knew that Ye's dual personality, although somewhat unsettling to him, also provided them with a strong form of protection.

Suddenly, a noisy sound came from outside the test area. The leader of the survivors walked into the test area with several bodyguards and the experimenter named Chen Ming.

Chen Ming was wearing a white coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, looking very professional.

He looked around with a look of disdain on his face.

"Su Wanqing, I'm very happy to participate in this test." Chen Ming said with a hint of arrogance in his tone.

"Mr. Chen, welcome." Su Wanqing said in a calm and cold tone.

Chen Ming ignored Su Wanqing's polite words and walked directly to the sample observation area and began to observe the reaction of the samples.

There was a greedy gleam in his eyes.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Wanqing looked at Chen Ming, secretly alert in her heart. She knew that this test was full of unknowns and dangers.

In the testing area, the huge metal door slowly closed and fitted the wall tightly.

The start button was pressed. In the control room, Lu Zhao's fingers flew on the keyboard, and lines of program codes scrolled by.

A low humming sound gradually sounded, announcing the official start of the sample diffusion test.

"Start releasing." Su Wanqing gave the order in a deep voice.

In the center of the control room, a transparent container slowly opened, and a colorless and odorless light blue gas escaped from it, quickly spreading and spreading towards the pre-set zombie reaction area.

In that area, through the thick glass wall, you can see more than a dozen bound zombies.

They twisted and uttered blood-curdling roars.

For the first few seconds, nothing seemed to change. But soon, the zombies' movements began to slow down, and their roars gradually became lower.

The limbs that were struggling frantically became slow and stiff like rusty machines.

"Preliminary results show that the sample has a significant inhibitory effect on zombies."

Lu Zhao quickly analyzed the data, his brows slightly relaxed. "The activity frequency of the zombies has dropped by nearly 50%, and their muscle tension has also significantly weakened."

The voice of the leader of the survivors came from the communicator immediately, with a hint of excitement: "Did you see that? The sample is indeed effective! It seems that the transaction between us is worth looking forward to."

Su Wanqing had a blank expression on her face. She knew the leader's purpose. This test was not only to verify the validity of the sample, but also to get a more favorable price.

The leader wanted to exaggerate the effect of the sample in order to increase the bargaining chips.

"The data is being uploaded, you can check it yourself." Su Wanqing said calmly, without any emotion in her tone.

The zombies outside the glass wall were still struggling slowly, as if they were trapped in a thick quagmire.

However, this slowing effect did not last long. After a few minutes, the zombies began to gradually regain their mobility, and their roars became louder and louder.

Xiao Ran stood in the corner of the control room, frowning. He stared at the zombies outside the glass wall, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Something's wrong. The effect of the sample didn't last long. The zombies recovered too quickly."

"This is just an initial test, and the diffusion concentration of the sample is not high enough."

Lu Zhao explained, "As the concentration increases, the inhibitory effect becomes more obvious."

"I don't think so." Xiao Ran shook his head. "I feel that the leader is manipulating the test results."

Su Wanqing glanced at Xiao Ran and said nothing. She also felt something was wrong, but she couldn't be sure yet.

At this moment, Lu Zhao's face suddenly changed and he stood up abruptly.

"Not good! The sample contains a new type of colorless toxin. Although the concentration is very low, it is enough to weaken the human immune system!"

"What?" Su Wanqing exclaimed. She immediately walked to Lu Zhao and checked the data on the screen.

"Where does this toxin come from? The original composition report of the sample did not show it!"

"I'm not sure yet. I'm tracing the source of this toxin." Lu Zhao quickly tapped the keyboard, "But what is certain is that this toxin is harmful to the human body. Long-term exposure may cause serious health problems."

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. The leader's purpose was probably not just to increase the transaction price, but more likely to be plotting something.

At this moment, a blue light shot out from Lin Che's fingertips and merged silently into the sample gas.

His body was trembling slightly and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

At night, the second personality hidden in Lin Che's body was secretly controlling the spread of the sample.

Su Wanqing keenly noticed Lin Che's abnormality, and her eyes immediately fell on him.

She saw that Lin Che's eyes had become empty and numb, with a strange smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

"Lin Che, what are you doing?" Su Wanqing asked coldly.

Lin Che did not answer, but continued to control the supernatural power in his body.

He seemed to be completely controlled by the night and became a puppet of the night.

Ye’s voice rang in Su Wanqing’s mind: “Don’t worry, I’m just making some small adjustments.

Only by making the sample's effect more obvious can the leader be more satisfied."

Su Wanqing widened her eyes, and she finally understood Ye's intention.

Ye was not only helping them complete the tests, but was also secretly colluding with the leader to transmit the data to the leader's experimenters.

She quickly glanced around the control room and saw a man in a lab coat in the corner, secretly recording the sample's data on his phone.

That person was Chen Ming, the experimenter brought by the leader of the survivors.

Chen Ming is tall and thin, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and looks very shrewd.

When he saw Su Wanqing's gaze, he immediately stopped what he was doing and a calm expression appeared on his face.

"Su Wanqing, what are you looking at?" Chen Ming asked with a hint of provocation in his tone.

"I'm just admiring your superb observation skills." Su Wanqing said coldly, "I hope you can analyze the data as seriously as I do."

Chen Ming curled his lips and said nothing. He continued to record the sample data with his mobile phone, but slowed down to try not to attract Su Wanqing's attention.

"The spread of the sample is accelerating," Lu Zhao reminded, "and the concentration of harmful gases is gradually increasing. We must find the weakness of the sample as soon as possible."

"I'm analyzing the composition of the sample," Su Wanqing said, "I hope to find some valuable clues."

Xiao Ran walked to Su Wanqing's side and whispered, "I don't believe the leader will cooperate with us so easily. I think we should re-examine his other experimental projects and strengthen protection to prevent zombie riots."

"Your suggestion is very good," Su Wanqing nodded, "I will arrange for someone to investigate later."

Suddenly, Lin Che’s hands began to tremble even more violently, and his voice became hoarse and sharp: “The concentration… the concentration must be higher… in order to fully control them…”

Su Wanqing was shocked. She realized that Ye was taking control of Lin Che's body step by step and trying to increase the concentration of the sample to a dangerous level.

She must stop Ye, otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.
