Chapter 141 Encirclement and Suppression Target
Su Wanqing's gaze fell in the direction of Ye. He was standing by the window, looking into the distance, with no expression on his face.
"Mr. Ye." Su Wanqing called out.
Ye turned around and looked at Su Wanqing. "What do you want, Chief Su?"
"Where did you go just now?" Su Wanqing asked.
Ye's expression didn't change. "I just went outside for a walk and got some fresh air."
"In an abandoned area?" Su Wanqing asked.
Ye's body stiffened slightly, but he quickly regained his composure. "Yes. It's quieter over there, and I want to be alone for a while."
"do what?"
"Nothing, just observing the surrounding environment." Ye replied.
"There are some low-level zombies over there. I'm just looking at their activity patterns."
Su Wanqing narrowed her eyes. She didn't believe what Ye said.
"Lu Zhao, go check the situation in the abandoned area over there."
She said to Lu Zhao. "See if there is anything unusual."
"Yes." Lu Zhao responded and immediately turned and left.
Ye finally showed a hint of displeasure on his face. "Chief Su, what do you mean by this?"
"I just want to confirm the situation." Su Wanqing replied.
"The situation is critical now and we must remain vigilant to any suspicious behavior."
Ye curled his lips and said nothing more.
Lu Zhao came back soon, his face looking a little serious.
"Chief Su, there are indeed some abnormalities in the abandoned area over there." he said.
"I found a small group of low-level zombies that were controlled. They seemed to be guided by some special power, and their movements became regular."
Su Wanqing's heart sank. She looked at Ye and asked, "Mr. Ye, what do you think about this?"
Ye showed a half-smile on his face. "Isn't this normal? Zombies are also living creatures and will be affected by the outside world. Maybe someone has found a way to control them."
"Control zombies?" Su Wanqing frowned. "That's impossible. Zombies have no consciousness and cannot be controlled."
"Chief Su, you underestimate the wisdom of mankind." Ye replied.
"Maybe they really have found a way to control the actions of zombies using viruses or other means."
Su Wanqing didn't say anything. She looked at Ye, her heart full of doubts.
"Mr. Ye, how much do you know about the technology of controlling zombies?" she asked.
"I've only heard some legends," Ye replied. "It's said that there is a special virus signal that can affect the nervous system of zombies and control them."
"Virus signal?" A gleam of light flashed in Su Wanqing's eyes.
She remembered Lu Zhao's previous test results on the jade bracelet and pendant, which contained virus fluctuations.
"Continue the investigation." Su Wanqing said to Lu Zhao. "Find out Mr. Ye's background and his relationship with the zombie control technology."
"Yes." Lu Zhao replied.
Su Wanqing looked at Ye and asked, "Mr. Ye, how do you think we should deal with this new threat?"
A confident expression appeared on Ye's face. "It's very simple. We use this technology to control the zombies and turn them into our weapons."
"Control zombies?" Xiao Ran couldn't help but frowned after hearing this.
"It's too dangerous. We can't guarantee that we can fully control them. Once we lose control, the consequences will be disastrous."
"There are risks and benefits," Ye replied. "As long as we master the technology to control zombies, we can greatly enhance our combat effectiveness and gain a greater advantage in fighting against the rebels and zombie swarms."
Su Wanqing did not express her opinion immediately. She knew that Ye's proposal was full of temptation, but it also concealed huge risks.
"Don't act rashly yet," she said to Ye. "We need to carefully evaluate the feasibility of this technology and the possible consequences."
A trace of disappointment flashed across Ye's face. But he quickly adjusted his mood and said, "Okay. I respect Chief Su's decision."
Su Wanqing looked at Ye's back, feeling uneasy. She felt that Ye was hiding more secrets than she had imagined.
"Lu Zhao," she said to Lu Zhao. "Keep a close eye on Ye's actions. If he shows any abnormality, report to me immediately."
"Understood." Lu Zhao replied.
Ye returned to the rest area alone. He walked to the table, turned on the computer, and began to write a complicated program.
His fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, and dense codes flashed on the screen.
He was making a bold attempt. He wanted to use his special powers to conduct a small zombie control experiment to prove his ability and win the trust of the team.
He knew that if his plan succeeded, he would be able to gain a more advantageous position within the team and even take control of the entire situation.
What he didn't know was that his actions had been noticed by Su Wanqing and Lu Zhao.
Su Wanqing was flipping through the hunting list exchanged from the rebel leader Allen. The names and code names on the list were somewhat different from the information previously obtained, and it seemed that Allen did not confess completely.
"This list has too few details." Su Wanqing raised her head and said to Lu Zhao, "The information provided by the other party is too general, and it is difficult to find valuable clues from it."
Lu Zhao nodded. "Alan is a very cautious person. The information he provides is often carefully screened. If we want to get the real information, I'm afraid we need to pay a greater price."
"Price?" Su Wanqing repeated, her eyes falling on the table, her fingertips tapping lightly on the metal.
"What else can we give him?"
"Perhaps, you can consider providing more analytical data on the zombie virus."
Lu Zhao said cautiously, "The rebels have always been ambitious in their research on viruses. If we can meet their needs, we may be able to exchange for more comprehensive intelligence."
“Virus data… this is a good suggestion. But it cannot be disclosed easily.”
Su Wanqing frowned slightly, "The virus is our trump card. We cannot let the rebels gain too much advantage."
At this time, Lin Che walked into the war room with an electronic document in his hand.
"Captain Su, according to Allen's confession, several targets on this list are related to some early projects of the Virus Research Institute."
Su Wanqing took the document and quickly looked through it. "Early stage project? What kind of project?"
"Alan only said that it was about the genetic modification and targeted transmission of the virus, and he knew nothing about the specific details. He emphasized that the rebels were hunting these people because they knew the deep secrets of the virus and might pose a threat to the rebels' plans. He suggested that we remain vigilant against these people while cooperating with the rebels," Lin Che reported.
Su Wanqing closed the file and thought about it. "Stay alert... Allen's reminder seems to have a hidden meaning."
Lu Zhao frowned and said, "He is implying that the people on this list may not only know the secret of the virus, but also the secret of the rebels."
"It's possible." Su Wanqing's eyes fell on a name on the list - Zhou Ming.
"This Zhou Ming, according to his profile, worked as a data analyst at the Virus Research Institute, responsible for organizing and analyzing experimental data. He is likely to have come into contact with a large amount of information about virus samples."
"Zhou Ming..." Xiao Ran walked to Su Wanqing and looked at the list.
"I think I've heard of this name. He gave reports on virus mutations at some closed academic conferences. His theory is controversial, but he put forward some novel ideas."
Su Wanqing's eyes lit up. "Are you familiar with him?"
"I'm not familiar with him. I just heard of his name and thought he was very capable and could raise some questions that we hadn't thought of at the time."
Xiao Ran recalled, "At the time, I thought his ideas were a bit extreme, but now it seems that he may have grasped some key information."
“Extreme views… maybe he has discovered the truth about the virus.”
Su Wanqing muttered to herself. She suddenly remembered that Zhou Ming mentioned a special energy field in his report, which might be related to the activity of the virus.
"Lu Zhao, retrieve Zhou Ming's detailed information and analyze it carefully. Focus on the possible relationship between him and the jade bracelet space." Su Wanqing ordered.
Lu Zhao responded and immediately took action.
