Chapter 112 The Jade Bracelet's Unusual Material

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least the core supplies were safe. Next, it was just a matter of saving her life.

Suddenly, Lin Che took a step forward, his face pale and his breathing rapid.

He covered his head with his hands, seemingly enduring immense pain. "Night...aftershocks of the blizzard...he needs to come out...the blocking system is collapsing..."

Su Wanqing felt a chill run down her spine; Lin Che's unusual behavior made her uneasy.

Night fell, and the mysterious entity hidden within Lin Che's body seemed to be stirring.

"Lin Che, what's wrong?" Lu Zhao immediately stepped forward to support Lin Che, his voice filled with worry.

"He...he wants to control my body...I...I can't hold back anymore..." Lin Che's voice trembled, as if he was about to collapse at any moment.

Just then, a dull thud came from outside the basement, followed by a deafening roar.

A zombie horde has arrived! And the howls of these zombies are more terrifying and savage than ever before.

"Full firepower!" Xiao Ran roared, leading his soldiers toward the entrance to the basement.

However, this zombie horde is completely different from the past.

These zombies are extremely fast and strong, and their skin is covered with a layer of hard scales, making them ineffective against ordinary weapons.

"These...these are evolved zombies!" a soldier shouted in terror.

Su Wanqing's gaze fell on the evolved zombies, and her expression became extremely solemn.

She realized that this crisis was far more serious than she had imagined.

Lin Che struggled in agony, his body trembling as if he were being subjected to some terrible torture.

The power of night is rapidly increasing, attempting to completely control his body.

His left hand was clenched into a fist so tightly that his nails almost pierced his skin.

"Che!" A clear voice suddenly rang in Lin Che's mind. It was the voice of the night, full of temptation and threat.

"Give up the resistance, let me take control of your body. We can become stronger, we can conquer the whole world!"

Lin Che gritted his teeth, desperately suppressing the power within him. He knew that once Ye took control, he would no longer be himself; he would become a killing machine, a being capable of destroying the world.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black combat uniform suddenly rushed up to Lin Che and grabbed his shoulder.

"Hang in there, young man! I'm coming to help you!"

The middle-aged man's name is Li Wei. He is a retired special forces soldier and one of the elite members of the team brought by Zhao Gang.

He has extensive combat experience, and he also possesses a special skill: the ability to temporarily suppress the power of superhumans.

Li Wei focused his energy and poured it into Lin Che's body, attempting to suppress the power of the night.

Lin Che's body trembled slightly, and his pained expression eased somewhat.

"Night...no...I won't let you succeed!" Lin Che's voice was hoarse but firm.

Seeing this, Su Wanqing immediately ordered, "Lu Zhao, seal off all passages immediately! Do not allow any zombies to enter the basement!"

Lu Zhao immediately carried out the order, activating the basement's defense system and sealing off all the passages.

However, the destructive power of those evolved zombies was simply too great; they kept ramming against the door of the passage, trying to break through the defenses.

"Not enough firepower! We need more firepower!" Xiao Ran shouted.

"I'm here to help!" Zhao Gang led his soldiers to the basement entrance and joined the battle.

Their weapons spewed fire, relentlessly striking the evolved zombies.

However, despite their best efforts, the evolved zombies continued to assault the defenses.

The basement walls are riddled with cracks and could be breached at any moment.

At this critical moment, Lin Che suddenly roared, and the power within him suddenly erupted, suppressing Ye's power.

"Night, I won't let you succeed!" Lin Che's voice was filled with anger and determination.

He suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with a strange light. He stretched out his hand, and a powerful water-based energy surged from his palm, forming a wall of water in the air that blocked the impact of the evolved zombies.

"Che, you..." Lu Zhao looked at Lin Che in surprise, incredulous.

Su Wanqing was also shocked. She did not expect that Lin Che could suppress the power of the night, and that he could release such powerful water energy.

“Wanqing, we must deal with these evolved zombies as soon as possible,” Lin Che said. “I cannot suppress the power of Night for long. If he regains control of my body, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Su Wanqing nodded; she knew Lin Che was right.

They must end the battle as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Xiao Ran, Mr. Zhao, concentrate all firepower and attack the heads of those evolved zombies!"

Su Wanqing shouted, "Lu Zhao, continue to maintain the defense! Don't let any zombies break through the line!"

Xiao Ran and Zhao Gang immediately understood Su Wanqing's meaning. They led their soldiers to concentrate all their firepower on the heads of the evolved zombies.

After a fierce battle, the evolved zombies were finally defeated.

The basement floor was piled high with zombie corpses, and the air was filled with a pungent smell of blood.

Lin Che's figure swayed precariously; he had almost exhausted all his strength.

Li Wei quickly helped him up, his face filled with worry.

"Young man, are you alright?" Li Wei 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 didn't speak, but just silently looked into the distance.

The power of night still resided within him. He knew that the battle was not over, and the real crisis still awaited him ahead.

In the makeshift medical station in the basement, Su Wanqing treated the wounds on Li Wei's arm caused by the zombies, while mentally reviewing the battle that had just taken place.

The appearance of evolved zombies made her realize that the dangers of the apocalypse were far more perilous than she had imagined.

"Do you have enough disinfectant?" Li Wei's voice interrupted her thoughts.

"There are only two bottles left. If there is another large-scale battle, it may not be enough."

Su Wanqing frowned as she checked the medical supplies reserves.

She suddenly remembered something, immediately raised her wrist, and activated the spatial function of the jade bracelet.

She opened the space interface and habitually checked the remaining supplies.

This time... she was stunned.

In addition to the canned food, compressed biscuits, ammunition, and bottled water she had manually stored in, as well as the mineral water she obtained through consumer rebates, there were some extra items in the jade bracelet space—several boxes of bandages and tourniquets, and a large bag of antibiotics.

She clearly did not purchase or manually deposit these medical supplies.

"Strange," Su Wanqing thought to herself.

She carefully recalled how she had used the jade bracelet in the past few days, trying to find a clue.

Since acquiring the jade bracelet, she has mainly used it to store supplies she has looted from supermarkets.

Each time she used it, she needed to give precise instructions through her mind before the jade bracelet would absorb the items into its space. She was certain that these extra medical supplies were not something she had intentionally stored there.

"Could it be... that the jade bracelet has some new function?"

She closed the spatial interface and pondered to herself. Previously, she only knew that the jade bracelet could store resources and increase reserves through consumption rebates.

However, it now seems that jade bracelets also have a kind of "automatic replenishment" function, which can provide corresponding supplies according to actual needs.

This possibility made her feel uneasy. While she would love to have greater power, she was also well aware that any power comes with risks.

If the function of the jade bracelet is not controlled, or if it is misused by others, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"What's wrong?" Lu Zhao walked to her side and asked with concern, noticing that Su Wanqing's expression was a little strange.

"It's nothing, I was just thinking about the issue of supplies," Su Wanqing said, trying to cover up her thoughts. She didn't want to tell anyone about the unusual condition of the jade bracelet for the time being.

"Wanqing, have you discovered something again?" A hoarse voice suddenly rang in her ear.

Su Wanqing turned around and saw Lin Che standing not far away, looking at her with a complicated expression.

His face was pale, seemingly still affected by the night, but his eyes revealed a subtle wariness.

"Che, what's wrong? Are you feeling alright?" Su Wanqing asked.

Lin Che shook his head, walked to her side, and said in a low voice, "I can feel... fluctuations in the jade bracelet. It seems to be... adjusting itself."

Su Wanqing was startled. She knew that Lin Che had a strong sense of perception and could detect things that ordinary people could not.

If he sensed something was wrong with the jade bracelet, it meant the situation might be more complicated than she imagined.

"Tell me more specifically, what did you feel?" Su Wanqing pressed.

Lin Che hesitated for a moment, seemingly trying to suppress the effects within his body.

His voice trembled slightly: "I...I feel that it can sense our needs. When we need a certain resource, it...automatically replenishes it."

"Automatic replenishment?" Su Wanqing repeated Lin Che's words, her mind filled with even more doubt.

"Yes. It's a kind of... self-adaptation of willpower potential."

Lin Che gave an ambiguous answer, seemingly unwilling to explain too clearly.

Su Wanqing stared at Lin Che, her mind filled with questions. Who was Ye?

Why does he know so much about jade bracelets? How many secrets is he hiding?
"Che, you seem to know a lot about the jade bracelet, right?" Su Wanqing asked directly.

Lin Che's body jolted violently, and he clenched his fists tightly, as if he were trying his best to resist some kind of force.

"I...I don't know what you're talking about."

Su Wanqing didn't press the matter further; she knew now wasn't the time to interrogate her.

She simply watched Lin Che silently, secretly resolving to find out the truth about the jade bracelet and Ye's identity.

Just then, Lu Zhao suddenly walked over, a hint of excitement on his face.

"Wanqing, I analyzed the data in the jade bracelet's space and discovered some interesting things."

"What?" Su Wanqing asked.

"By analyzing the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet, I discovered that it can sense the emergency dynamics of the surrounding environment, such as battles, casualties, and shortages of supplies."

When it detects these situations, it will automatically generate a small-scale compensation mechanism to provide corresponding supplies.

Lu Zhao said, "It's like an automated emergency system that can adjust itself according to the actual situation."

Upon hearing this, Su Wanqing was even more shocked. Lu Zhao's analysis coincided with Lin Che's description.

Jade bracelets do indeed possess a certain "self-replenishing" function, and this function seems to be related to the emergency dynamics of the surrounding environment.

"So, it's not a random replenishment of supplies, but a precise distribution based on actual needs?" Su Wanqing asked.

“Yes. It can determine what we need most and then provide the corresponding supplies,” Lu Zhao said confidently.

Su Wanqing fell into deep thought. This function of the jade bracelet was undoubtedly a huge advantage for them.

In the apocalypse, resources are essential for survival. If the jade bracelet could automatically replenish resources, they could save a lot of energy for other more important things.

However, 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 falls into the hands of others or is used for illicit purposes, the consequences will be unimaginable.

"Lu Zhao, could you analyze the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet further to see how it works?" Su Wanqing asked.

“I will do my best.” Lu Zhao nodded. “But the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet are very complex, and it seems to be intentionally hiding some information.”

It will likely take a very long time to fully unravel 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 returned from the black market in the survivor territory and encountered a mysterious merchant,” Xiao Ran said.

"The black market?" Su Wanqing asked.

“Yes. That businessman approached me, saying he could provide information related to virus samples,” Xiao Ran said.

"Virus sample?" Su Wanqing's heart skipped a beat.

“That’s right. He knows we’re searching for the origin of the virus and the formula for the antidote. He seems to have some inside information,” Xiao Ran said.

"Why did he tell us?" Su Wanqing asked.

"He made a condition: he wanted us to provide unconventional weapons and supplies, 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 used vague terms, such as ‘high-energy batteries’ and ‘rare earth metals.’ I’m not quite sure what he specifically wants,” Xiao Ran said.

Su Wanqing frowned. Black market merchants are usually dangerous people.

They'll do anything for profit. And the intelligence they possess is often false or tampered with.

"Didn't you agree to his proposal?" Su Wanqing asked.

“No. I don’t have the authority to decide whether to do business with him. I just wanted to report the situation to you first,” Xiao Ran said.

“Well done,” Su Wanqing said. “Don’t contact him for now. I need to think carefully about whether to make a deal with him.”

She knew that the virus samples were crucial to them.

If they could obtain virus samples, they could better study the characteristics of the virus and find a cure.

But at the same time, she must remain vigilant to avoid being exploited by black market dealers.

"Che, what's your opinion on this?" Su Wanqing asked Lin Che.

Lin Che remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "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 people to strengthen the security and prevent anyone from approaching the basement.”

Lu Zhao, continue analyzing the energy fluctuations of the jade bracelet and try to unravel its secrets as soon as possible.

Che, get some rest and don't push yourself too hard.

Looking at these people before her, she felt a deep sense of responsibility. The road ahead in the apocalypse was fraught with unknowns and dangers.

But she believes that as long as they unite and work together, they will surely be able to overcome all difficulties and find hope for survival.
