Chapter 112 The Abnormal Material of the Jade Bracelet
She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. At least the core supplies were safe. The next step was to save her life.
Suddenly, Lin Che took a step forward, his face turned pale, and his breathing became rapid.
He covered his head with his hands, as if in great pain. "Night... aftershocks of the blizzard... he's coming out... the blocking system is collapsing..."
Su Wanqing's heart trembled. Lin Che's abnormality made her feel uneasy.
At night, the mysterious existence hidden in Lin Che's body seemed to be ready to move.
“Lin Che, what’s wrong with you?” Lu Zhao immediately stepped forward to support Lin Che, his voice full of worry.
“He…he wants to control my body…I…I can’t bear it anymore…” Lin Che’s voice was trembling, as if he would collapse at any moment.
At this moment, a dull thud was heard outside the basement, followed by countless deafening roars.
The zombies are coming! Moreover, the roars of these zombies are more terrifying and more brutal than any other roars I have heard before.
"Full fire!" Xiao Ran roared and led his soldiers to rush towards the entrance of the basement.
However, this zombie wave is completely different from previous ones.
These zombies move extremely fast and have great strength. Moreover, their skin is covered with a layer of hard scales, so ordinary weapons cannot cause effective damage to them.
"These...these are evolved zombies!" a soldier shouted in horror.
Su Wanqing's gaze fell on the evolved zombies, and the expression on her face became extremely solemn.
She realized that this crisis was much more serious than she had imagined.
Lin Che struggled in pain, his body trembling continuously, as if he was suffering from some terrible torture.
Night's power was rapidly increasing, trying to take full control of his body.
His left hand was clenched into a fist, his nails almost piercing his skin.
"Che!" A clear voice suddenly sounded in Lin Che's mind. It was the voice of the night, full of temptation and threat.
"Give up resistance, let me control your body, we can become stronger, we can conquer the world!"
Lin Che gritted his teeth and tried his best to suppress the power in his body. He knew that once he was controlled by Ye, he would no longer be himself. He would become a killing machine, a being that destroyed the world.
A middle-aged man in black combat uniform suddenly rushed in front of Lin Che and grabbed his shoulders.
"Hold on, young man! I'm here to help you!"
The middle-aged man's name is Li Wei. He is a retired special forces soldier and an elite member of the team brought by Zhao Gang.
He has rich combat experience, and he also has a special skill, which is the ability to temporarily suppress the power of those with special abilities.
Levi concentrated his energy and injected the energy in his body into Lin Che's body, trying to suppress Ye's power.
Lin Che's body trembled slightly, and his originally painful expression eased a little.
“Ye… no… I won’t let you succeed!” Lin Che’s voice was hoarse but firm.
Seeing this, Su Wanqing immediately ordered: "Lu Zhao, block all passages immediately! Don't let any zombies enter the basement!"
Lu Zhao immediately followed the order, activated the basement's defense system, and blocked all passages.
However, the destructive power of those evolved zombies was too strong. They kept hitting the doors of the passage, trying to break through the defense line.
"Not enough firepower! We need more firepower!" Xiao Ran shouted loudly.
"I'm here to help!" Zhao Gang led his soldiers to the entrance of the basement and joined the battle.
The weapons in their hands spewed flames and continuously hit the evolved zombies.
However, despite their best efforts, the evolved zombies continued to attack the defense line.
The walls of the basement are already covered with cracks and could be breached at any time.
At this critical moment, Lin Che suddenly roared, and the power in his body suddenly burst out, suppressing Ye's power.
“Ye, I won’t let you succeed!” Lin Che’s voice was filled with anger and determination.
He raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashing with strange light. He stretched out his hand, and a powerful water energy surged from his palm, forming a water wall in the air, blocking the impact of those evolved zombies.
“Che, you…” Lu Zhao looked at Lin Che in surprise, unable to believe it.
Su Wanqing was also very shocked. She didn't expect that Lin Che could suppress Ye's power, and he could also release such powerful water energy.
“Wanqing, we must get rid of these evolved zombies as soon as possible.” Lin Che said, “I can’t suppress Ye’s power for a long time. If he regains control of my body, the consequences will be disastrous.”
Su Wanqing nodded. She knew that Lin Che was right.
They must end the battle as soon as possible, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous.
"Xiao Ran, Mr. Zhao, concentrate all your firepower and attack the heads of those evolved zombies!"
Su Wanqing shouted loudly, "Lu Zhao, continue to maintain the defense and don't let any zombies break through the defense line!"
Xiao Ran and Zhao Gang immediately understood what Su Wanqing meant. They led their soldiers and concentrated all their firepower on the heads of the evolved zombies.
After a fierce battle, the evolved zombies were finally defeated.
The basement floor was littered with zombie corpses, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of blood.
Lin Che's figure was shaky, and he had almost exhausted all his strength.
Levi quickly supported him, his face full of worry.
"Young man, are you okay?" Levi asked.
“I… I’m fine.” Lin Che replied, his voice weak and tired.
Su Wanqing walked up to Lin Che and looked at his exhausted appearance, her heart filled with emotion.
She knew that Lin Che had paid a huge price to help them.
"Thank you, Che." Su Wanqing said softly.
Lin Che shook his head. He said nothing, but just looked into the distance silently.
The power of the night still exists in his body. He knows that the battle is not over yet and the real crisis is still waiting for him ahead.
Su Wanqing was at the simple medical point in the basement. While helping Levi treat the wound on his arm caused by the zombies, she was sorting out the battle that had just happened in her mind.
The emergence of evolved zombies made her realize that the dangers of the end of the world were far more dangerous than she had imagined.
"Is there enough disinfectant?" Levi's voice interrupted her thoughts.
"There are only two bottles left. If there is another large-scale battle, I'm afraid it won't be enough."
Su Wanqing checked the medical supplies and frowned.
She suddenly remembered something and immediately raised her wrist to activate the spatial function of the jade bracelet.
Opening the space interface, she habitually counted the remaining supplies.
This time...she was stunned.
In addition to the canned food, compressed biscuits, ammunition, and mineral water she had manually stored before, and the rebates she had obtained through consumption, there were actually some more things in the jade bracelet space - several boxes of bandages, tourniquets, and a large bag of antibiotics.
She clearly had not purchased these medical supplies, nor had she manually deposited them.
"Strange." Su Wanqing was puzzled.
She carefully recalled how she had used the jade bracelet in recent days, trying to find a clue.
Since getting the jade bracelet, she has mainly used it to store supplies bought from the supermarket.
Each time it is used, precise instructions need to be given through consciousness so that the jade bracelet will absorb the item into the space.
She was certain that she had not intentionally stored these extra medical supplies.
"Could it be that... the jade bracelet has some new function?"
She closed the space interface and thought to herself. Before, she only knew that the jade bracelet could store supplies and increase the reserves through consumption rebates.
But now it seems that the jade bracelet has some kind of "automatic replenishment" function, which can provide corresponding supplies according to actual needs.
This possibility made her feel a little uneasy. Although she would be happy to have more powerful power, she knew that any power came with risks.
If the function of the jade bracelet is not controlled or used by others, the consequences will be disastrous.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhao walked up to her and asked with concern, noticing that Su Wanqing looked a little strange.
"Nothing, I'm just thinking about the issue of material reserves." Su Wanqing concealed. She didn't want to tell anyone about the abnormal situation of the jade bracelet for the time being.
"Wanqing, have you discovered something again?" A hoarse voice suddenly sounded in her ears.
Su Wanqing turned around and saw Lin Che standing not far away, looking at her with complicated eyes.
His face was pale, as if he was still affected by the night, but there was a barely perceptible alertness in his eyes.
"Che, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling okay?" Su Wanqing asked.
Lin Che shook his head, walked to her side, and whispered: "I feel... the fluctuation of the jade bracelet, it seems to be... adjusting itself."
Su Wanqing was shocked. She knew that Lin Che had a strong sense of perception and could detect things that ordinary people could not.
If he could sense something was wrong with the jade bracelet, then the situation might be more complicated than she thought.
"Tell me specifically what you feel?" Su Wanqing asked.
Lin Che hesitated for a moment, as if trying to suppress the influence in his body.
His voice was trembling. “I… I feel like it can sense our needs. When we need something, it will… automatically replenish it.”
“Automatically replenish?” Su Wanqing repeated Lin Che’s words, feeling even more confused.
"Yes. It is a kind of...self-adaptation of the potential of will."
Lin Che said ambiguously, seemingly unwilling to explain too clearly.
Su Wanqing stared at Lin Che, her mind full of questions. Who is Ye?
Why does he know so much about the jade bracelet? How many secrets does he hide? "Che, you seem to know a lot about the jade bracelet, right?" Su Wanqing asked directly.
Lin Che's body shook violently, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he was trying his best to resist some kind of force.
"I…I don't know what you're talking about."
Su Wanqing did not ask any more questions, she knew that now was not the time to press the issue.
She just looked at Lin Che silently, and secretly decided in her heart that she must find out the truth about the jade bracelet and Ye's identity.
Just then, Lu Zhao suddenly walked over with a hint of excitement on his face.
"Wanqing, I analyzed the data in the jade bracelet space and found some interesting things."
"What?" Su Wanqing asked.
"By analyzing the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet, I discovered that it can sense emergency situations in the surrounding environment, such as battles, casualties, and shortages of supplies.
When it detects these situations, it will automatically generate some kind of small-scale compensation mechanism to provide the corresponding supplies.”
Lu Zhao said, "It's like an automated emergency system that can adjust itself according to actual conditions."
Su Wanqing was even more shocked when she heard this. Lu Zhao's analysis coincided with Lin Che's description.
The jade bracelet does have a certain "automatic replenishment" function, and this function seems to be related to the emergency dynamics of the surrounding environment.
"In other words, it's not a random replenishment of supplies, but a precise delivery based on actual needs?" Su Wanqing asked.
"Yes. It can determine what we need most and then provide the corresponding supplies." Lu Zhao said affirmatively.
Su Wanqing fell into deep thought. This function of the jade bracelet was undoubtedly a huge advantage for them.
In the end times, supplies are the basis of survival. If the jade bracelet can automatically replenish supplies, then they can save a lot of energy and use it for other more important things.
But at the same time, Su Wanqing also realized that the more powerful the function of the jade bracelet, the greater the risk.
If the jade bracelet is controlled by others or used for improper purposes, the consequences will be disastrous.
"Lu Zhao, can you further analyze the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet and see how it actually works?" Su Wanqing asked.
"I'll try my best." Lu Zhao nodded, "But the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet are very complex, and it seems to be intentionally hiding certain information.
It will probably take a long time to completely crack its secrets."
"It's okay, I believe you can do it." Su Wanqing said.
Just then, Xiao Ran walked over with a strange expression on his face.
"Wanqing, I just came back from the black market in the survivors' territory and met a mysterious businessman." Xiao Ran said.
"Black market?" Su Wanqing asked.
"Yes. The businessman took the initiative to find me and said that he could provide information related to the virus sample." Xiao Ran said.
"Virus sample?" Su Wanqing's heart moved.
"That's right. He knows that we are looking for the origin of the virus and the formula of the antidote. He seems to have some inside information." Xiao Ran said.
"Why should he tell us?" Su Wanqing asked.
"He put forward a condition that we must provide unconventional weapons and materials, or other scarce information, in order to complete the transaction." Xiao Ran said.
"Unconventional weapons and supplies? What does he want?" Su Wanqing asked.
"He only said some vague words, such as 'high-energy batteries', 'rare earth metals', etc. I'm not sure what he wants specifically," said Xiao Ran.
Su Wanqing frowned. Black market merchants are usually dangerous people.
They will do anything for their own benefit. Moreover, the intelligence they have is often false or tampered with.
"Didn't you promise him?" Su Wanqing asked.
"No. I don't have the authority to decide whether to trade with him. I just want to report the situation to you first." Xiao Ran said.
"Well done." Su Wanqing said, "Don't contact him for the time being. I need to think carefully about whether to trade with him."
She knew that the virus samples were extremely important to them.
If they could get a sample of the virus, they could better study its properties and find a formula for an antidote.
But at the same time, she must remain vigilant to prevent being exploited by black market traders.
"Che, what do you think about this matter?" Su Wanqing looked at Lin Che and asked.
Lin Che was silent for a moment before he slowly said, "This businessman... is very dangerous. Don't trust him easily."
Su Wanqing nodded. She knew that Lin Che's intuition was usually correct.
"Okay, I understand." Su Wanqing said, "Xiao Ran, go and arrange for someone to step up security and prevent anyone from approaching the basement.
Lu Zhao continued to analyze the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet and crack its secret as soon as possible.
Che, take a good rest and don't force yourself."
She looked at the people in front of her, her heart filled with a sense of responsibility. The road to the end of the world is full of unknowns and dangers.
But she believed that as long as they united and worked together, they would be able to overcome all difficulties and find hope for survival.
