Chapter 131 Preliminary Exploration of the Camp Armory

“Manager Su, are you really going to go in person?” Lin Che walked up to Su Wanqing, a hint of worry in his tone.

Su Wanqing nodded. "I have to go. Only by seeing the truth with my own eyes can I make the right judgment."

"I'll go with you," Lin Che said, "I can provide some help."

Su Wanqing shook her head. "No need. You stay in the camp and provide support. If I'm in danger, I'll ask you for help immediately."

Lin Che nodded and said nothing more. He knew Su Wanqing's determination, so he could only support her silently.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, activated the jade bracelet space, and activated the stealth device.

Her figure disappeared into the air in an instant, like a ghost, quietly sneaking into the darkness.

She followed the pre-planned route, carefully bypassed the patrol team, and sneaked towards Li Guoqiang's residence.

She used night vision goggles to observe the surrounding environment and was ready to respond to emergencies at any time.

She found that Li Guoqiang's residence was heavily guarded and the number of soldiers patrolling around was more than she expected.

Moreover, the surveillance system of the residence was more complete than she had imagined, with almost no blind spots.

Before reaching the target residence, Su Wanqing stopped, hid behind a big tree, and observed the surrounding situation.

She found that there were two soldiers standing at the back door of Li Guoqiang's residence. They were smoking and chatting, and were completely unaware of her presence.

This was a rare opportunity. Su Wanqing took a deep breath, activated the reconnaissance drone, and sent it into the backyard of Li Guoqiang's residence.

The drone flew silently over the courtyard wall and entered Li Guoqiang's residence.

The drone's camera transmitted the scene in the yard to Su Wanqing's computer in real time.

She saw Li Guoqiang in his study, having a heated discussion with several people.

She carefully observed their expressions and movements, trying to get some useful information from their conversation.

Suddenly, Lin Che's voice rang in her ears. "Director Su, Ye asked me to tell you that Li Guoqiang is talking to someone who calls himself 'Mr.', and they are talking about a project codenamed 'Zero'."

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. "'Zero'? Could it be the 'Protocol Zero' that Zhao Quan mentioned?"

"It's very likely," Lin Che said, "Ye said that this 'Mr.' seems to be very interested in the 'Zero' project. He offered a very high price and wanted to buy the project."

A trace of vigilance flashed through Su Wanqing's mind. She knew that "Protocol Zero" must be hiding a huge secret. If Li Guoqiang sold this project to someone with bad intentions, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Keep monitoring," Su Wanqing said, "I must know what Project Zero is."

Su Wanqing held her breath and followed the purple-haired young man beside her, carefully moving through the shadows outside the camp.

"There's movement in the bushes on the right side ahead." Ye's voice was low and calm, and it went straight into Su Wanqing's mind.

Su Wanqing did not make any sound, quickly adjusted the direction, and observed with the help of the night vision goggles.

Sure enough, several camp guards in uniform were quietly setting up some unidentified devices near the bushes.

"They are strengthening their defenses." Su Wanqing analyzed secretly, "This area may be hiding something important."

"The leader's personal guard, Wei Shi, is in charge of this reinforcement." Ye added, "His men are well-trained and have a strong sense of defense."

"Wei Shi?" Su Wanqing wrote down the name. To be trusted by Li Guoqiang, Wei Shi must be a difficult character.

At the same time, Xiao Ran on the periphery was covering Su Wanqing and Ye's actions.

He hid behind an abandoned transport truck, holding his rifle tightly in his hand.

In the distance, several patrolling guards were walking towards them.

"It's time to take action." Xiao Ran whispered to himself. He quickly jumped out from behind the transport vehicle and opened fire at the patrol.

The sound of gunfire broke the silence of the night sky and instantly attracted the attention of the surrounding guards.

The patrol immediately launched a counterattack and fierce gunfire broke out between the two sides.

Relying on his rich combat experience, Xiao Ran used the terrain for cover and constantly changed his shooting position, successfully diverting the guards' attention.

"Be careful." Xiao Ran said to Su Wanqing through the headset, "I'll attract firepower here, you guys act quickly."

"Got it." Su Wanqing responded. She and Ye sped up and sneaked towards the armory.

On the other side of the camp, Lu Zhao was sitting in a dilapidated command vehicle, staring intently at the computer screen.

He was tracking the network signals inside Li Guoqiang's camp, trying to find the actual entrance to the core weapons depot.

"Found it." Lu Zhao said softly. On the computer screen, a red icon flashed, showing the exact location of the weapons depot.

He also recorded the camp's internal surveillance mechanisms, including the number of cameras, their locations, and blind spots.

This information is crucial to Su Wanqing's next actions.

"Manager Su, the entrance to the armory is underground in the main barracks, and there is a hidden passage. The camp's surveillance system has relatively weak monitoring of this passage, but there is still a certain risk." Lu Zhao reported to Su Wanqing through the headset.

"I understand. Be careful." Su Wanqing responded.

Su Wanqing and Ye finally arrived at the outskirts of the armory. The area was heavily guarded, with patrolling guards everywhere.

Su Wanqing activated the jade bracelet space and generated a real-time updated map of the camp, clearly presenting the internal structure of the armory and the distribution of the guards.

"Be careful, there is an energy fluctuation of a mutant here." Ye said suddenly.

He pointed to a low-level shape on the map, which was an area inside the armory.

Su Wanqing carefully observed the diagram, frowning. It was a floor plan similar to a laboratory, with some strange instruments and equipment marked on it.

"Could this be a device for creating mutated zombies?" Su Wanqing felt uneasy.

At this moment, Lin Che's voice suddenly rang in his ears. "Director Su, the communication signal is being interfered with. We are unable to communicate effectively."

"What's going on?" Su Wanqing asked.

"I don't know either. It seems that some high-frequency signal is interfering with our communications."

Lin Che replied, "I'm trying to restore the signal."

"Ye, what do you think?" Su Wanqing asked.

"The source of the signal interference is not near us." Ye analyzed, "It is on the other side of the camp, and its exact location is unknown."

“Ye, can you go and investigate?” Lin Che asked.

Su Wanqing stopped him immediately. "No, now is not the time to take risks.

We have a mission and we cannot be distracted.”

Ye did not refute, but remained silent for a moment. "Okay. But Lin Che, remember, don't trust anyone easily, especially those who claim to be righteous."

Lin Che sighed softly and said nothing more. He knew that Ye's second personality was always full of vigilance and suspicion, but he had to admit that Ye's judgment was often correct.

Lu Zhao's voice came again. "Director Su, I found a network node inside the camp that seems to be encrypted and protected.

I’m trying to crack it.”

"Crack it as soon as possible, Lu Zhao." Su Wanqing said.

"I understand." Lu Zhao replied.

Su Wanqing refocused her attention on the entrance to the armory. She adjusted the power of the cloaking device to the maximum and confirmed the surrounding environment again.

She took a deep breath and prepared for action.

"Let's go." Su Wanqing said to Ye.

The two men sneaked towards the entrance of the armory silently.

Su Wanqing adjusted the stealth device on her back and could feel the device getting slightly hot. This high-intensity covert operation consumed a lot of energy.

She looked up at Lin Che, or more precisely, at Ye. The one controlling the body now was Lin Che's second personality, Ye.

His purple hair was vaguely visible in the darkness, and his eyes were as calm as a polar glacier.

"Are you ready?" Su Wanqing asked in a low voice, trying to keep her voice as low as possible to avoid being caught by the surrounding patrols.

"Anytime." Ye's response was concise and efficient, without any unnecessary nonsense.

He could sense Su Wanqing's nervousness, but Ye seemed to be born with a calm temperament that could ease the pressure around him.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

They were facing the core entrance to the armory, a heavy metal door surrounded by infrared, laser, and multiple biometric systems.

This place was more heavily defended than any they had encountered before.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath and activated the spatial ability of the jade bracelet.

An invisible energy wave spread out from the jade bracelet, and the defense system around the metal door rippled like water waves and was disrupted in an instant.

The stealth effect reached its peak at this moment. The surrounding environment seemed to swallow them up, making them unreachable by any detection.

"Let's go." Su Wanqing motioned Ye to follow, and quickly passed through the gap formed by the metal door and entered the armory.

The interior of the armory was more spacious and tidy than expected. Various weapons and ammunition were placed on the metal shelves, neatly arranged, like a large arsenal.

But Su Wanqing's attention was not focused on these weapons, but was attracted by the abnormally high temperature in the air.

"It's a bit hot in here." Ye frowned. His physique was very sensitive to temperature changes, especially when controlling his body.

"It's some kind of energy device that's operating." Su Wanqing looked around and soon found a row of huge machines. The surface of the machines was flashing red light and emitting a burning breath.

These machines seemed to be performing some complex operations, and the buzzing sound was disturbing.

"Let me take care of it." Ye said, stretching out his palm. A clear stream of water emerged from his palm. The water quickly expanded and formed a huge water curtain, wrapping up the heat-generating machines.

Su Wanqing looked at Ye in surprise. It was incredible that his supernatural water power could suppress the heat of these energy devices.

"Water has a cooling effect, but it consumes a lot of energy." Ye explained. His face was slightly pale, and it was obvious that maintaining this state was quite a burden for him.

"Be careful, don't over-consume energy." Su Wanqing said with a frown. She knew that although Ye's second personality was powerful, it also consumed a lot of energy on the body.

The two continued to go deeper into the armory and walked forward along the corridor.

There are a large number of surveillance cameras installed on the walls on both sides of the corridor, which monitor the surrounding environment without blind spots.

"On the right, a corner." Ye said suddenly, pointing to a corner ahead.

Su Wanqing walked over quickly and, using the cover of the corner, she saw a hidden door. There was no marking on the door. If it weren't for Ye's keen observation, it would have been difficult to detect its existence.

"This is the entrance to the core area." Ye said, his voice becoming more serious.

Su Wanqing nodded, activated the spatial ability of the jade bracelet again, and opened the hidden door.

Behind the door is a huge laboratory filled with all kinds of strange instruments and equipment, and the walls are covered with various charts and data.

In the center of the laboratory, there is a huge culture tank filled with viscous green liquid, in which some distorted human figures can be vaguely seen.

"A device for making mutated zombies." Su Wanqing said in a low voice, a chill rising in her heart.

Ye nodded, walked to a console and began to check the data.

"These devices can not only create mutant zombies, but also remotely control the range of activities of specific zombies."

Su Wanqing's heart sank. If Li Guoqiang could control the zombies, then he would have the power of life and death in the end times.

At this moment, a surveillance screen in the corner of the laboratory lit up, and a man in uniform appeared on the screen.

This man had a shiny flat head and cold and fierce eyes.

"It's Wei Shi's subordinate, Chen Gang." Ye said coldly, he seemed to know something about this man.

Chen Gang was monitoring the scene inside the armory in real time. His eyes swept across the monitoring screen, occasionally lingering on some key areas.

Su Wanqing realized that their every move was under Chen Gang's surveillance.

"We must complete the task as soon as possible and leave here." Su Wanqing said, she felt a strong sense of crisis.

"I'll try to see if I can break the signal blockade of the device." Ye said, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard on the console, trying to hack into the computer system of the armory.

However, just as Ye was invading, he suddenly stopped and his face turned pale.

"What's wrong?" Su Wanqing asked.

"I made a mistake and activated a sensor." Ye's voice was trembling.

In an instant, a shrill alarm sounded inside the armory and red warning lights began flashing.

"Oh no!" Su Wanqing exclaimed, she knew they had been discovered.

"Retreat immediately!" Su Wanqing said without hesitation. She pulled Ye and turned around and ran towards the entrance.

"No, wait!" Ye tried to continue hacking into the system and turn off the alarm.

"No! Now is not the time to fight." Su Wanqing pulled Ye hard and dragged him out of the laboratory.

The two men ran towards the entrance as fast as they could, followed closely by loud alarms and Wei Shi's men chasing them.

"Lu Zhao, Xiao Ran, get ready for support!" Su Wanqing sent a distress signal to Lu Zhao and Xiao Ran outside through the headset.

They must leave the arsenal as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.

Su Wanqing and Ye ran all the way, passed through heavy defenses, and finally arrived at the entrance of the armory.

However, they discovered that the entrance had been blocked by Wei Shi's men.

"It's a dead end!" Ye snorted coldly, a trace of unwillingness flashing in his eyes.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath. She knew she had to calm down now.

She quickly looked around, searching for a chance to escape.

"Ye, use your water-based ability to create a cover." Su Wanqing said.

Ye nodded and stretched out his hand. A huge stream of water emerged from his palm, forming a water curtain that enveloped their bodies.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, activated the spatial ability of the jade bracelet again, and under the cover of the water curtain, rushed towards the entrance.
