Chapter 186 Energy Out of Control
The empty atmosphere in the safe house became increasingly oppressive. Less than ten minutes later, a continuous low-frequency humming sound came from outside. It was hard to hear clearly at first, but soon the walls began to vibrate slightly.
Lu Zhao shortened the terminal switching frequency and whispered, "There is some military noise - it seems they are using directional acoustic equipment."
Xiao Ran checked the bolt again, looked up and asked, "Who are you targeting?"
Lu Zhao turned off the headset. "It's not to drive her away. It's targeting Tong Yin. I tuned the frequency specifically to interfere with her brain waves."
Su Wanqing stuffed the spare first aid kit into a corner and asked Lin Che, "Can Tong Yin still hold on?"
Lin Che just held the girl in his arms, sweat dripping down his cheeks. He bit his lower lip and did not answer, with only panic in his eyes.
Then, three loud noises came from the roof and sparks flew from where the glass was placed.
Xiao Ran turned to the external surveillance camera and his face changed slightly: "It's a tear gas bomb. It's specially wrapped and processed. The drug mist will suppress the nerves when it comes in."
Lu Zhao wanted to turn on the external circulation fan, but immediately turned back and shook his head: "Don't bother. There are weapons such as Veratrum in the air. If a child breathes it in, he will definitely have convulsions."
Su Wanqing soaked the towel by the door, handed it to Lin Che, and whispered, "Don't let her breathe randomly."
As she moved, her fingers felt a little tense.
Chemicals were trapped in the small room, and an abnormal sweet and fishy smell was slowly seeping down from somewhere on the ceiling.
The pressure of the siege pressed hard on everyone's back.
Lu Zhao glared at the terminal screen and pushed the monitor in front of everyone.
He said: "Dawn has sent interference microwaves from the opposite hill to suppress the main frequency and join forces with the military. A simultaneous attack has begun outside." As he spoke, he took off the battery cover and handed the last set of spare coils to Su Wanqing.
Xiao Ran's arms were shaking as he carried the gun on his back. He gave the order, "Seal the control line of the second door. If they really come in, block the vents. Hold on for a minute if you can."
The girl with the childish voice suddenly shuddered all over and pushed Lin Che away, struggling to break free like a puppet with its strings cut.
Xiao Ran held her down but failed to stop her. Green lines suddenly appeared under the girl's feet, wrapped around her arms like vines, and her eyes reflected a fierce blue light.
Garbled characters appeared on the terminal in Lu Zhao's hand, and both the new and old frequencies were interfered with.
He took a quick look and asked Su Wanqing, "Has she ever lost control to this extent before?"
Su Wanqing put down the notebook and said in a very sincere voice, "No. At most, the value has soared, but like this - not even once."
Lin Che's whole body suddenly tensed up, and he froze against the wall. He pressed his forehead tightly with one hand and covered his chest with the other. His body arched and he could not hold it still, and sweat poured down his forehead.
At this time, the girl with a childish voice made a series of sounds that were extremely difficult to imitate. It was neither crying, nor normal language, nor humming.
The tone had a certain mechanical coldness, which made people's pores feel slightly cool.
Complex blue lines spread across her skin, extending from the palms of her hands to her elbows, and then covering her shoulders and cheeks.
The temperature in the cabin suddenly rose, static electricity filled the air, and the metal door of the safe house creaked.
Lu Zhao subconsciously covered his ears, feeling a tingling sensation on his teeth.
Xiao Ran took several steps back and blocked himself at the outermost edge of the door. He looked out the window and could only see a dark mass of zombies, all moving in unison towards the safe house.
The military's engineering vehicles turned around and began to deploy a higher-intensity sonic jammer array.
Dawn's group split into three points from the back mountain, switching potions and demolition equipment, specifically targeting air circulation points.
Sudden collisions and mechanical disassembly sounds were superimposed on the roof and side walls.
The whole house was shrouded in an inexplicable violent rhythm.
The blue light of the girl with a childlike voice became stronger at this time. She clenched her fists, the knuckles changed color, and the ancient runes on her body kept changing configurations, and those patterns quickly covered her shoulders, neck and jaw.
She suddenly screamed so loudly that the top glass bulb was shattered.
The zombies outside the house all stopped at the edge of the barrier. The next second, they all raised their heads and let out low roars with extremely strong aggressiveness in their voices.
One of the zombies suddenly leaped forward and broke through the fence. The other zombies rushed forward and moved in unison, as if they were guided by some system.
Su Wanqing immediately realized that she had completely crossed the line. She quickly pulled the jade bracelet to the center of her wrist, her fingers instinctively wanting to press something, her heart beating harder than ever.
The jade bracelet began to emit heat at this moment, and faint golden lines appeared on the surface.
Xiao Ran tilted his head and asked, "Do you have any other barriers there?"
Su Wanqing only had one second to hesitate. The jade bracelet in her hand had already been pushed to the outermost layer. She gritted her teeth and shouted instinctively: "Guardian of Eden!"
The jade bracelet emitted a layer of golden light, and then brighter beams of light spread out like water waves.
Translucent film-like light immediately appeared on the walls of the safe house. Golden energy woven into layers of fibers between the walls, the roof, and the floor, and in the blink of an eye, it closed into a transparent arc-shaped protective shield that could roughly accommodate all members, tightly covering the house like a roof.
Lin Che suddenly let out a low growl, touched his head, and fell to the floor.
His blood vessels bulged under his skin, alternating between gold and blue. He struggled violently at first, his entire body twitching, and the high-purity energy shock made him grit his teeth and groan.
Afterwards, he suddenly calmed down, stopped struggling, and slowly opened his eyes, with a mixture of gold and blue overflowing from the depths of his pupils.
Lu Zhao took back the terminal, gritted his teeth, and tried to calculate the flow of all the energy just now, but all the signals stopped, and the only sounds in the air were rapid breathing and the buzzing of the jade bracelet.
When Lin Che stood up, the tip of his tongue trembled slightly. The voice he spoke had a different sense of heaviness than before, as if there were two tones overlapping: "I am finally complete."
Su Wanqing looked over and subconsciously raised her jade bracelet. Lin Che walked over and reached out to the golden barrier.
His hand was placed on the surface of the light shield, and the gold and blue colors slowly spread on the shield, and the shield was covered with a new layer of ripples.
The golden light on the jade bracelet resonated briefly with the color of his palm. The barrier was obviously more stable, and each fluctuation became regular.
Xiao Ran whispered: "Everyone is gathering outside. The zombies at the window are falling to the ground one after another. The military and Dawn are attacking the shield with all their might."
There was no panic in his voice, just quicker and crisper.
Lu Zhao put the spare batteries and the remaining data into the aluminum box. He didn't say much, but just used his digital notebook to check the remaining plans one by one.
The sound from the girl's childish voice has not stopped, but its intensity has weakened and the spell is intermittent.
The blue runes on her body began to fade, as if all the energy was condensed in her chest.
Lin Che squatted down and gently straightened her up, with no fear in his eyes.
Su Wanqing brought everyone to the center of the shield. She tried to adjust it with the jade bracelet on her wrist, but each time she operated, she could only adjust part of the energy flow and could not directly remove the shield.
Lin Che's hand was still on the shield. A layer of ripples appeared on the surface of the shield, and the protective circle spread outward, increasing its strength to a higher level.
Lu Zhao noticed that the shield blocked everything, whether it was the military's sound waves, the kinetic energy of riot bombs, or the invasion of the zombie tide, and none of them could reach the inside of the cabin.
The collision outside was getting more and more intense, but the safe house stood firmly.
You can hear the synchronized collisions of zombies in the distance, the distant explosions of stun bombs, and mixed military sound waves, all of which seemed to be blocked by some giant palm.
Lin Che stood up and nodded in the direction of Su Wanqing. His voice was not shaken at all: "I can adjust the frequency of the shield. The state just now allowed my two consciousnesses to merge. They will no longer be separated in the future."
Su Wanqing looked at him briefly and simply responded, "Keep sensing and tell me if there are any changes."
Lu Zhao locked the data and stuffed all the remaining weapons and resources into the center of the protective circle.
He asked Su Wanqing: "Can the jade bracelet bring up any other panels? All signals here are gone, and all external signals are cut off."
Su Wanqing tried many times, but apart from the flow of golden energy, there were no new clues.
The shield function remains in the original closed mode.
Discs were scattered all over the floor, and the cold plate of the equipment was slightly hot. Everyone was inside the barrier, no one was left behind.
The faces of the military and Dawn could not be seen outside the house. One could only hear the dull sound of impact and the continued burst of chemical gas from the riot control bombs through the shield.
The zombies gathered in larger and larger numbers, and the encirclement became increasingly tight, but they could no longer cross the one millimeter boundary of the shield.
Lin Che sat back on the ground and hugged Tong Yin, her palms glowing slightly.
Blue runes rose and fell on the arms of the two people, and a warm breath surrounded this small circle.
Lu Zhao pulled Xiao Ran over, and both sides reduced their range of movement and transferred all the supplies that could be used over a short distance.
Xiao Ran calmly calculated the remaining ammunition, water and oxygen. The atmosphere was so oppressive that one could hear a pin drop.
The emergency light in the corner of the safe house remained dim, and no one could predict what would happen next.
