Chapter 127: Abnormal Riot of Zombies

Su Wanqing stretched out her hand almost at the same time, trying to stop Lin Che, but it was too late.

A light blue mist, like an invisible thread, spread from Lin Che's fingertips and merged into the gas that had already filled the test area.

“Lin Che, what on earth do you want to do!” Su Wanqing’s voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Lin Che's body began to tremble violently. He clenched his teeth and tried hard to control his consciousness, but Ye's power was too strong.

His eyes were still empty, but there was a chilling smile on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm helping you. Make the sample more perfect." Ye's voice was cold and calm, echoing in Su Wanqing's mind.

Just as Ye's voice died down, the zombies outside the glass wall suddenly let out an even more violent roar.

Their originally slow movements suddenly accelerated, and they rammed against the chains that bound them like crazy, making a deafening metallic collision sound.

"Not good!" Xiao Ran exclaimed, immediately rushed to the control console and sounded the alarm.

"The spread of the sample has entered the second stage." Lu Zhao's voice was tinged with panic. He tapped quickly on the keyboard, calling up various data charts.

"The zombies' reactions have become abnormal. Their speed and strength have increased a lot, and their attack patterns... are not natural."

Su Wanqing's eyes were fixed on the zombies outside the glass wall.

The zombies' movements were stiff and broken, as if they were controlled by some external force.

They no longer attack based on instinct like ordinary zombies, but instead rush against the chains that bind them in an organized and desperate manner.

"Lu Zhao, what's the specific situation?" Su Wanqing forced herself to calm down and asked.

Lu Zhao's face was pale. He pointed at a waveform on the screen and said in a trembling voice: "The sample gas triggered a behavioral stimulation effect, which directly affected the visual and auditory nervous system of the zombies. It...it is like some kind of neurotoxin, making the zombies more violent and aggressive."

"Neurotoxin?" Su Wanqing frowned, she realized that the situation was developing in an uncontrollable direction.

"Activate the backup barrier!" Xiao Ran shouted without hesitation. He rushed to the control panel on the wall and quickly entered a series of commands.

After a buzzing sound, a translucent energy barrier rose around the test area, trying to stop the zombies' attack.

However, the zombies seemed to be completely unaware of the existence of the barrier. They continued to rush forward at a crazy speed, making bursts of dull impact sounds.

"The barrier is under tremendous pressure," Lu Zhao reported. "The zombies' attack frequency and strength are increasing. Some of the quarantine areas have been damaged."

Su Wanqing's heart sank to the bottom. The situation was worse than she had imagined.

She raised her left hand without hesitation, and the simple jade bracelet emitted a dazzling light.

A line of blue words appeared in front of her: Spend 1,000 yuan and get a rebate of 1,000 tons of high-strength composite materials.

She quickly conceived the form and properties of the material in her mind.

She needed a barrier material that could solidify quickly and had extremely strong toughness to make up for the shortcomings of the existing barrier.

"Generate a one-time barrier potion and release it into the riot area!" Su Wanqing gave the order to the jade bracelet.

The light of the jade bracelet became more dazzling, and a large amount of white powder gushed out from the bracelet, condensing into countless small balls in the air, and then being guided to the test area and scattered above the rioting zombies.

When the small balls came into contact with the air, they immediately released a sticky liquid, quickly forming a solid barrier around the zombies.

At that moment, the chaos in the test area was temporarily contained.

The zombies were trapped in the barriers formed by the potions and could no longer pose a threat to the outside world.

However, Su Wanqing knew that this was only a temporary expedient.

The strength of those barriers is limited and they will soon be broken through by the zombies.

"Leader, something is wrong." Xiao Ran walked over to the leader of the survivors who was watching the surveillance footage and said sternly, "There is a serious deviation in the sample test. The zombies are out of control!"

The leader of the survivors, a short, fat, gloomy-faced middle-aged man named Li Guoqiang.

He looked at the surveillance footage expressionlessly, seemingly not surprised by the chaos before him.

"This is just one part of the sample's sudden performance," Li Guoqiang said slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "We must evaluate the sample's performance under various extreme conditions. This is science."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ran said angrily, "You knew that the sample would cause a zombie riot, but you still insisted on testing it? You are playing with our lives!"

Li Guoqiang sneered and said, "The transaction rules between us are very clear. I only need to provide samples and you are responsible for testing. As for the test results, that is your business."

When Lin Che heard what Li Guoqiang said, she rushed forward angrily and grabbed Li Guoqiang by the collar.

"Do you know what you are doing? You can kill people by doing this!"

Li Guoqiang gently pushed Lin Che's hand away and said disdainfully: "Young man, don't get too excited. We are all working hard to survive, just in different ways."

"You..." Lin Che was so angry that he couldn't speak. He wanted to rush forward again, but was stopped by Su Wanqing.

“Lin Che, calm down.” Su Wanqing whispered, “Now is not the time to argue. We must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible.”

Su Wanqing looked at Li Guoqiang with a cold light in her eyes. She knew that there must be some secret agreement between Li Guoqiang and Ye.

They deliberately used the side effects of the samples to test the team's strength and gain benefits from it.

She decided to find out Li Guoqiang's true purpose and expose the conspiracy behind him.

"Lu Zhao, continue analyzing the sample data." Su Wanqing said, "Find the sample's weaknesses and develop countermeasures."

"Yes." Lu Zhao nodded and immediately plunged into the intense work.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The zombie riot in the test area is still continuing. Although it is temporarily contained by the barrier potion generated by Su Wanqing, they are still constantly attacking the barrier, making terrifying roars.

Su Wanqing looked around, she knew that a more severe test had just begun.

The testing area was filled with a sickening smell of blood and burning.

The translucent energy barrier was crumbling, and some places had been completely shattered, revealing the zombies frantically struggling outside.

Su Wanqing's throat tightened and she suppressed her irritation as she quickly scanned the mess.

"How are the wounded?" Su Wanqing's voice was calm and almost indifferent, but it carried an unquestionable command.

A young team member in protective clothing stumbled over, his face pale.

"Reporting to Supervisor Su, Li Ming's leg was scratched by a zombie, Wang Qiang's arm was broken, and several team members suffered varying degrees of abrasions and lacerations. They need immediate treatment."

Before Su Wanqing could say anything, Lin Che had already started to move. His figure was as fast as lightning, shuttling between the collapsed equipment and the pile of rocks, with strands of blue water condensing in his hands.

The water flows wrapped around the injured team members like snakes, quickly seeping into the wounds and repairing the flesh cut by the zombies' claws.

Lin Che's movements were smooth, precise and efficient. He seemed to have become a different person. His empty eyes were once again filled with light, replaced by focus and determination.

Ye's voice rang in his mind: "Do your best to save them, Che. Let them know that your power can protect them."

Lin Che did not answer, but just buried his head in treatment silently. He could feel the power of the night eroding his consciousness, but he had to resist, he had to protect these people.

“Lin Che, don’t force it.” Su Wanqing came over and looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead, and said with some concern.

"Your current situation..."

"I'm fine." Lin Che's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was unusually firm.

"The power of the night has not affected my healing ability for the time being."

Su Wanqing looked at him deeply and said nothing more. She knew that Lin Che was having a fierce struggle with Ye.

She could only trust him and believe that he could control his power.

"Xiao Ran, repair the backup barrier equipment as soon as possible." Su Wanqing changed the subject and said to Xiao Ran who was standing aside.

Xiao Ran didn't waste any time and immediately rushed to the control room next to him. He skillfully opened the equipment panel and began to check the damaged lines and components.

He is a retired special forces soldier and is familiar with all kinds of mechanical and electronic equipment.

"Don't worry, Manager Su." Xiao Ran said while he was busy.

"It will take at most ten minutes to activate the backup barrier."

"Lu Zhao, what about you?" Su Wanqing looked at Lu Zhao who was collecting data.

"What is the number and damage of the samples?"

Lu Zhao raised his head and pushed up his glasses. "There are five samples in total, two of which have been destroyed by zombies, and the remaining three are basically intact. According to preliminary statistics, at least more than 30 zombies broke through the first barrier and entered the test area."
