Chapter 103 Detecting Clues of a Virus Leak

Su Wanqing gritted her teeth. The news of reinforcements reported by Lu Zhao was like ice water, splashed on her newly ignited hope.

She quickly rehearsed several possible solutions in her mind, but they were all full of flaws.

A hasty retreat would mean all previous efforts would be in vain; a forced breakout could result in total annihilation.

"Immediately set up simple defensive fortifications!" Su Wanqing's voice was low, yet carried an unquestionable authority.

"Xiao Ran, you're in charge of holding the line and buying time. Lu Zhao, use the jamming device to try and cut off the enemy's communications. Che, search the surrounding area to see if there are any other ways out."

Lin Che responded, but his face grew even paler. He felt a chill run down his spine, and an inexplicable fear gripped his heart.

Night occupied his consciousness, like a cold hand gripping his throat.

"Su Wanqing, we must evacuate immediately." Ye's voice was devoid of any emotion, striking straight to the heart of the matter.

"The situation here is getting worse, and staying here will only complicate things further."

“I know,” Su Wanqing replied succinctly. “But we can’t just give up like this.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Ran's voice broke the brief silence.

"Report! The enemy numbers are greater than we anticipated! They are equipped with heavy weapons and have extremely powerful firepower!"

Su Wanqing's heart sank. The enemy reinforcements were arriving much faster than she had anticipated, indicating that the base was far more vigilant than she had imagined regarding their operation.

"Hold on! We absolutely cannot let them break in!" Su Wanqing said through gritted teeth.

Gunshots, explosions, and screams mingled together, creating a deafening roar.

The area around the warehouse quickly turned into a sea of ​​fire, with thick smoke billowing and obscuring the sky.

Amidst the fierce firefight, Lu Zhao returned from deep within the warehouse, holding a data tablet in his hand.

“We’ve found a document,” he said quickly. “It’s labeled ‘Early Warning Demonstration,’ and it contains simulation data about virus mutations and transmission.”

Su Wanqing took the tablet and quickly browsed the contents of the document.

The document details the possibilities of various viral mutations and the impact of different levels of mutation on humans.

One simulation caught her attention—it simulated a scenario where a virus spreads rapidly under specific conditions, eventually leading to a large-scale infection.

“This…” Su Wanqing frowned, feeling a chill creep into her heart.

"This does not appear to be a simple virus study, but rather a rehearsal."

She looked up at Lu Zhao. "Are you sure this document was found in the warehouse?"

“I’m sure,” Lu Zhao answered confidently. “The document was hidden in an inconspicuous place, seemingly on purpose.”

"Is someone trying to deliberately create panic?" Su Wanqing muttered to herself.

At this moment, Xiao Ran's voice came again, interrupting her thoughts.

"Report! The enemy's firepower is getting heavier and heavier, we can't hold on much longer!"

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. "Che, have you found any other way out?"

“No, Su Wanqing.” Lin Che’s voice trembled slightly. “The surrounding area is sealed off; we’re trapped.”

"Night, do you have any ideas?" Su Wanqing tried to communicate with Night.

"Give up." Night's voice remained cold. "You've done your best. Now, the only thing you can do is preserve yourself."

Su Wanqing's anger surged within her. She knew Ye had been trying to manipulate her, to make her submit to his will. Just then, Xiao Ran's voice rang out in shock. "No! Those zombies... those zombies are different!"

"What's different?" Su Wanqing asked hurriedly.

"They...they act very strangely, unlike ordinary zombies. They seem organized and planned, and...and their attack power is much stronger than that of ordinary zombies!" Xiao Ran's voice was filled with fear.

Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat. Ordinary zombies only attack based on instinct, while those organized and planned zombies mean that the virus has mutated, and this mutation may lead to a significant increase in the zombies' intelligence and attack power.

"Che, take a look," Su Wanqing said to Lin Che. "Observe the behavior of those zombies and see if they have any common characteristics."

Lin Che tried his best to control his emotions and focused on observing the zombies.

He discovered that these zombies did indeed behave differently from ordinary zombies.

They no longer wander aimlessly, but gather in one direction, and during the gathering process, they cooperate and cover each other.

“They…they seem to be moving toward one place,” Lin Che said.

"That direction... leads to the base's laboratory!"

Su Wanqing's face grew even paler. The laboratory? Why were those zombies moving towards the laboratory?
"Night, how much do you know about the virus?" Su Wanqing suddenly asked.

After a moment of silence, the sound of the night finally broke through, carrying a hint of mystery.

“I know some… there are researchers in the lab who have been trying to use the virus as a weapon.”

"What?" Su Wanqing exclaimed in surprise. "You mean... those zombies were deliberately released by the people in the lab?"

“That possibility cannot be ruled out,” Ye replied. “Those researchers possess the secrets of the virus; they can control its mutations and spread.”

Su Wanqing's mind was in complete chaos. She increasingly felt that this virus leak was not accidental, but a meticulously planned conspiracy.

Just then, a familiar voice came through the communicator.

"Su Wanqing, the situation is bad!" Professor Yang's voice was anxious and stern.

"We analyzed samples collected near the warehouse, and the results showed that the virus has mutated!"
This mutation could accelerate the spread of the virus and trigger a new wave of mutations!

Su Wanqing's heart sank to the bottom.

"Professor Yang, what kind of impact will the mutated virus have on humans?" she asked.

"The impact would be catastrophic," Professor Yang replied. "A new wave of mutations could infect even more people, and those infected might develop even more severe symptoms. If we cannot control the spread of the virus in time, the entire base, and even the entire urban cluster, will face annihilation!"

"We must take action!" Su Wanqing said. "We must find the source of the virus leak as soon as possible and stop its further spread!"

"I suggest you take immediate protective measures to avoid bringing virus samples into nearby urban clusters," Professor Yang said. "Once the virus spreads to urban clusters, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Su Wanqing nodded. "I understand, Professor Yang. We will do everything we can to stop the spread of the virus."

She took a deep breath and made a silent resolution. She was determined to find out the truth behind this incident.

She will bring to justice those who attempt to use the virus as a weapon.

"Lu Zhao, organize all virus-related materials in the warehouse."

Su Wanqing said to Lu Zhao, "Che, closely monitor the zombies' movements and track their destination. Xiao Ran, remain vigilant and ensure our safety."

"Understood." Lu Zhao, Lin Che, and Xiao Ran's voices rang out simultaneously.

Su Wanqing looked up and gazed at the zombies surging in the darkness.
