Chapter 128 Intervention

"More than 30?" Su Wanqing frowned. "The number is more than expected."

"Moreover, the movement patterns of these zombies are very abnormal," Lu Zhao added.

"They are no longer wandering aimlessly like ordinary zombies, but are gathering in an organized manner towards the exit of the test area."

Su Wanqing's heart instantly lifted up. She knew that this was by no means a coincidence.

It must be the neurotoxin in the sample gas that altered the zombies' genes, making them smarter and more dangerous.

"Seal off the quarantine area." Su Wanqing gave the order. "From now on, no one is allowed to enter or leave the quarantine area without permission. Clean up the scene immediately, collect the sample fragments, and conduct a comprehensive inspection of all personnel."

"Yes!" The team members immediately took action and began to carry out Su Wanqing's orders.

Just when Su Wanqing was busy, the leader of the survivors, Li Guoqiang, came over with a few of his cronies.

He had a playful smile on his face as he looked at the messy testing area.

"Manager Su, it seems that the results of this test are not ideal." Li Guoqiang said slowly.

"The situation is more complicated than we expected." Su Wanqing replied coldly.

"The impact of the sample gas was beyond our expectations."

"It doesn't matter, everything is under our control." Li Guoqiang waved his hand.

"I will arrange to adjust the test plan as soon as possible and strengthen safety measures. In addition, I have decided that Chen Gang will take over the management of the test equipment, as he is more familiar with the operation of these devices."

Su Wanqing frowned even more. Chen Gang was Li Guoqiang's right-hand man, a man who obeyed orders.

Letting Chen Gang take over the testing equipment is tantamount to handing over the control of the entire testing area to Li Guoqiang.

"Chief, I don't think it's necessary to change the people who are managing the testing equipment."

Su Wanqing said. "Zhang Wenyuan is very familiar with these devices, and he has always been very responsible."

"Zhang Wenyuan is too cautious." Li Guoqiang sneered. "He always has too many concerns, which hinders our work. Chen Gang is different. He is vigorous and decisive, and can ensure the smooth progress of the test plan."

Su Wanqing knew that her persuasion was meaningless. Li Guoqiang had made up his mind, and no matter what she said, he would not change his decision.

Just then, Lu Zhao walked over with a serious look on his face.

"Manager Su, I found that the leader sent two people to secretly record our process of handling the scene."

Lu Zhao whispered. "They seem to be collecting some information."

Su Wanqing's heart was shocked. She realized that there must be some unknown conspiracy between Li Guoqiang and Ye.

They not only wanted to test the effectiveness of the samples, but more importantly, they wanted to use this disaster to achieve their own goals.

However, she does not have enough evidence yet to directly expose Li Guoqiang's conspiracy.

She had to wait until she had gathered enough evidence before taking action.

Ye's voice suddenly rang in Lin Che's mind: "Su Wanqing has already noticed the leader's intention, Che. You must be careful not to let her know about your relationship with me."

Lin Che gritted his teeth and tried to control his emotions. He knew that Ye was using him, but he was powerless to stop it.

"Chief, notify everyone to gather." Li Guoqiang said to the people around him.

"I'm going to call an impromptu meeting to discuss the subsequent test adjustment plan."

Li Guoqiang and his confidants walked into the meeting room next door.

Su Wanqing looked at Li Guoqiang's back, her eyes full of vigilance.

Outside the conference room, the atmosphere was as stagnant as before a rainstorm. Su Wanqing watched Li Guoqiang and several followers with obvious purpose walk into the test area, and alarm bells rang in her heart.

The man in the lead was short and strong, with a shiny shaved head, wearing a neat uniform, and there was an unpleasant arrogance in his eyes.

He is Li Guoqiang's number one confidant, named Javi. He is responsible for maintaining order in the survivors' camp and also for dealing with some shady matters.

"This is Javi, someone I trust. From now on, the adjustment and maintenance of the testing equipment will be handed over to him." Li Guoqiang's voice was loud, as if announcing to everyone his reliance on Javi.

Javi glanced at everyone present, stopped at Lu Zhao, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"A professor from Tsinghua University? You sound quite arrogant. Now is not the time to play around with academic theories. We need to quickly improve efficiency and find out the true value of the samples."

Lu Zhao frowned slightly. He had always been focused on data analysis and equipment maintenance and was not used to such official language.

"Chief, with all due respect, the adjustment of equipment parameters must be strictly calculated and verified. Any unauthorized changes may cause distortion of test data, and the conclusions drawn will be worthless."

"Distortion?" Javi snorted. "Do you think I don't know the value of testing? I tell you, time is life, we don't have time to wait for a scholar like you to slowly study! Immediately adjust the equipment parameters to the values ​​I specify, otherwise..." There was a hint of threat in his words.

"Otherwise what?" Xiao Ran took a step forward and stood in front of Lu Zhao, his voice low and full of warning.

"This is a testing area, not a place for you to make random comments. Javi, where do you come from?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Javi narrowed his eyes, looked Xiao Ran up and down, and spoke in an unfriendly tone.

"Former special forces soldier? You sound pretty tough. I'm just following the leader's orders. How dare you question it?"

"I question the way you execute orders!" Xiao Ran did not give in. He could feel the dangerous aura emanating from Javi, but he could not tolerate him interfering with the testing process at will.

"The test concerns the future of all survivors. It is not something you can manipulate at will!"

The two of them were on edge, and the atmosphere instantly became tense. The team members around them didn't dare to breathe, for fear of being accidentally involved in the conflict.

Ye's voice rang in Lin Che's mind, calm and calculating: "Don't act rashly, Che. Now is not the time to confront them head-on. First find out Javi's background and the relationship between him and the leader."

Lin Che gritted his teeth and tried his best to control the strength in his body. He could feel that Ye was secretly monitoring Javi and collecting information about them.

Although he was dissatisfied with the use of the night, he knew that he had to obey the night's arrangements now.

Su Wanqing walked between Xiao Ran and Jia Wei and raised her hand to signal them to calm down.

"Everyone calm down. Mr. Javi, I know you want to get the test results as soon as possible, but the rigor of the test must be guaranteed. Lu Zhao has been doing an excellent job, and I believe he can complete the task."

"Manager Su, you are favoring your subordinates!" Javi said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm thinking about the future of our entire camp, and you're here defending a pedant!"

"I am maintaining the accuracy of the test data." Su Wanqing said firmly.

“If the data is not accurate, then all our efforts will be wasted.”

"Okay, I can give you a chance." Javi's tone softened a little, but his eyes were still full of doubt.

"I will supervise Lu Zhao's work and if I find any problems, I will raise them immediately."

"Of course." Su Wanqing nodded, but became more alert in her heart.

Lu Zhao took a deep breath, walked to the console and continued his work.

He knew that Javi would find ways to interfere with his work, and he had to remain vigilant at all times.

Jia Wei walked to Lu Zhao's side, pointed to a parameter on the console and said, "Adjust this value to 85, which will speed up the sample's reaction speed."
