Chapter 125 Emergency Supplies

Su Wanqing hesitated. Lin Che's superpower was indeed very strong, but Ye's presence made her cautious.

"No." Su Wanqing finally shook her head. "The repair device requires a high degree of precision, and the machine is extremely delicate. Improper operation could cause even greater damage."

We can't take that risk.

“But…” Lin Che wanted to explain, but he could feel the night roaring in his mind, trying to control his consciousness.

“No buts.” Su Wanqing interrupted him. “Your most important task right now is to keep Ye under control and not let him affect us.”

Xiao Ran walked over to Lin Che and patted him on the shoulder, "Listen to Su Wanqing, now is not the time to be stubborn."

What we need is calm and rationality, not recklessness.

Su Wanqing thought quickly; she knew she had to find a solution as soon as possible.

The failure of the isolation device meant that all their preparations had been in vain, and they also faced the risk of an unknown gas leak.

"Lu Zhao, is there any way to temporarily release the gas?" Su Wanqing asked.

“Barely,” Lu Zhao replied. “We can use the base’s existing ventilation system and connect the device’s exhaust port for temporary ventilation.”

However, this can only provide temporary relief and cannot completely solve the problem.

"Let's leave it at that for now," Su Wanqing said. "Also, we can't continue testing here."

The device was disassembled into other units and tested individually to prevent the potential impact of a malfunction from being amplified.

"Yes!" The people in the room immediately sprang into action. Li Wei organized the staff to prepare a temporary ventilation system, Lu Zhao directed the technicians to disassemble the device, and Xiao Ran was responsible for guarding the area to prevent any accidents.

While busy, Zhao Quan's shadow kept flashing through Su Wanqing's mind.

She knew this malfunction was no accident. Zhao Quan was definitely manipulating things behind the scenes, trying to sabotage their plans.

Inside the survivor base's monitoring room, the survivor leader was observing Su Wanqing and the others' reactions to the device malfunction through a closed monitoring network.

A meaningful smile appeared on his face.

"It seems they are not prepared for any unexpected situations," the leader muttered to himself.

"However, this is exactly what I want to see. Only in adversity can a person's abilities be truly tested."

He documented Su Wanqing and others' technical adaptability and assessed their teamwork.

He needs to know how much of a role these people can play in future battles.

"Send someone over," the leader said to his assistant. "Put them in as a repairman and get them into the testing area to mislead the source of the malfunction."

"Yes!" the assistant replied immediately, turning and running off to carry out the leader's orders.

A few minutes later, a man in a repair uniform, carrying a toolbox, walked into the isolation testing device area.

His eyes flickered, and a hint of tension was barely perceptible on his face.

While pretending to check the equipment, he secretly observed the actions of Su Wanqing and the others.

"Activate the emergency ventilation system," Su Wanqing ordered.

“It’s already started,” Lu Zhao replied. “But the effect is limited; the concentration of harmful gases is still slowly rising.”

"Reinforce the defenses immediately," Su Wanqing said. "Ensure the safety of everyone."

"Yes!" Li Wei immediately organized personnel to reinforce the defenses. A huge air purifier started operating, attempting to expel the harmful gases.

Lin Che tried to suppress Ye's control, but Ye's power was too strong, and he could barely hold on.

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his body began to tremble slightly.

"I...I can't control myself anymore," Lin Che said weakly.

Su Wanqing walked to Lin Che's side and gently took his hand. "Hang in there, Lin Che."

We can't lose you.

Lin Che looked up at Su Wanqing and saw encouragement and trust in her eyes. He took a deep breath, struggling to control his consciousness and waging a fierce battle with the night.

The air purifier hummed, Li Wei checked the airtightness of the protective suit, Lu Zhao nervously observed the monitoring screen, and Xiao Ran vigilantly watched everything around him... The whole scene was filled with a tense atmosphere.

"The emergency ventilation was not working well, and the harmful gases are still spreading. We must find an alternative solution as soon as possible."

Su Wanqing quickly scanned the data, her brows furrowed. She looked at Lu Zhao, "The isolation barrier has been breached. What materials can be used as a temporary replacement?"

Lu Zhao quickly searched on the computer, his expression somewhat grim. "The materials stored in the base are not strong enough to effectively block the spread of harmful gases. Moreover, considering the corrosiveness of the gases, ordinary materials will be corroded very quickly."

“Jade bracelet.” Su Wanqing blurted out, her mind filled with images of the mountains of supplies piled up before the downpour. “Use the jade bracelet to generate materials.”

Xiao Ran said with a slight hesitation, "Su Wanqing, we don't understand the principle behind this thing yet. The risk of generating unknown materials on a large scale is too great."

"Is the risk high?" Su Wanqing's eyes were firm. "We can't complete the test without taking some risks now. Moreover, the commotion Zhao Quan caused last time has made us realize that the other side may strike again at any time. We must resume the test as soon as possible and uncover the truth about 'Protocol Zero'."

She raised her left wrist, the ancestral jade bracelet was slightly warm. She concentrated and silently recited: "Generate isolation barrier material, high strength, corrosion resistance, can effectively block harmful gases."

The jade bracelet emitted a blue light, and a line of text appeared on its surface: "Requirement confirmed, 1000 yuan consumed, 10 tons of high-strength composite material generated."

Su Wanqing didn't hesitate and immediately confirmed. The sound of the card reader swiping was particularly jarring in the quiet testing area.

With a crisp beep, the jade bracelet shone even brighter, and a pile of gray powder appeared out of thin air on the ground.

Lu Zhao immediately stepped forward and took some samples for analysis. "Preliminary test results show that the main component of this material is a new type of polymer, with excellent strength and corrosion resistance."

"But..." he paused, "its stability seems rather poor; its structure undergoes subtle changes when affected by external environmental factors."

"What do you mean?" Su Wanqing asked.

"In other words, the properties of this material will change with the surrounding environment. The harsher the environment, the higher its strength and corrosion resistance, and vice versa."

Lu Zhao explained, "This... is a bit strange."

At this moment, Lin Che suddenly spoke up, his voice carrying an unusual calmness, "Su Wanqing, this material is generated very quickly, and its performance is related to the level of environmental threat. Does this mean that the jade bracelet's material generation pattern is not fixed, but will be adjusted according to the level of danger in the surrounding area?"

Su Wanqing's heart stirred; she realized that Lin Che's words made sense.

The resources generated by the jade bracelet were all everyday items, such as mineral water and beef jerky. These resources had relatively stable properties.

The materials that are now being produced possess this special ability, which could very well be a kind of emergency mechanism.

“Let’s try it again,” Su Wanqing said. “This time, we’ll generate a fluid barrier liquid that can completely seal the test area and withstand a certain amount of pressure.”

The jade bracelet glowed blue again: "Request confirmed, 500 yuan consumed, 5 tons of fluid isolation liquid generated."

A moment later, a pale blue liquid appeared on the ground. This liquid was extremely fluid and slowly spread outwards like water.

Soon, it formed a semi-transparent barrier, completely sealing off the entire testing area.

“The effect is quite good,” Lu Zhao exclaimed. “The insulation effect of this liquid is excellent, with almost no gaps. But…” He frowned, “This liquid is highly flammable. It will ignite immediately upon contact with an open flame.”

Xiao Ran stepped forward and gently touched the barrier liquid with his hand; his expression became even more solemn.

"This liquid is very viscous and has a pungent odor."

Suddenly, Ye's voice came from Lin Che's mind: "This liquid is very viscous. If the concentration is increased further, it will better enhance the integrity of the structure."

Lin Che's body stiffened, and he instinctively clenched his fists. The sound of the night grew stronger, trying to control his consciousness.

"Lin Che, what are you thinking?" Su Wanqing noticed Lin Che's unusual behavior and immediately asked.

Lin Che took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions. "Ye... he said that if the concentration of the liquid is increased, the integrity of the structure can be enhanced."

Su Wanqing looked at Xiao Ran, "Xiao Ran, what do you think?"

Xiao Ran calmly analyzed, "Increasing the concentration can indeed enhance the integrity of the structure, but it will also increase the flammability of the liquid. We need to consider this carefully."

“Then let’s increase it by a small amount first,” Su Wanqing said. “Lu Zhao, you’re in charge of controlling the concentration to ensure it doesn’t exceed the safe range.”

Lu Zhao nodded and began directing the technicians to perform the operation.
