Chapter 126 Mobilization
As the concentration of the liquid gradually increases, the strength of the barrier also increases significantly.

Xiao Ran walked to the testing equipment area and found that some interfaces had gaps due to device malfunction.

He looked up at Su Wanqing and said, "Su Wanqing, we need some materials to temporarily seal these gaps."

"Use the jade bracelet to generate it," Su Wanqing ordered. "Generate portable shielding panels for temporary isolation of the site."

The jade bracelet started up again, and soon, some black slabs appeared on the ground.

Xiao Ran picked up a piece of board, examined it, and nodded.

"This material is strong enough to effectively block the spread of harmful gases."

He began using these sheets to seal the gaps in the testing equipment area, and soon the entire area was isolated.

Lin Che stood quietly to the side, watching Ye continue to observe the liquid generated by the jade bracelet, a strong sense of vigilance rising in his heart.

Night's gaze was so focused that it seemed he had something else in mind, not just to understand the properties of the liquid.

"Night, what are you doing?" Lin Che asked in his mind.

Ye was silent for a moment before saying impatiently, "I'm studying the composition of this liquid, which is related to my experiment."

"Your experiment?" Lin Che's tone carried a hint of skepticism. "What exactly are you trying to do?"

Night roared angrily, "This is my secret, you have no right to know!"

Su Wanqing noticed Lin Che's unusual behavior and came over. "Lin Che, what's wrong?"

"I..." Lin Che hesitated for a moment, but ultimately did not say it.

He knew that telling Su Wanqing about what happened that night would only make her more worried.

"Are you alright?" Su Wanqing asked with concern.

"I'm just feeling a little unwell," Lin Che forced a smile. "I'll go rest for a bit."

Su Wanqing nodded and didn't ask any further questions. She knew that the relationship between Lin Che and Ye was complicated, and she didn't want to interfere too much.

She turned to Lu Zhao and Xiao Ran and said, "Lu Zhao, check all the equipment connections to make sure there are no safety hazards. Xiao Ran, increase vigilance to prevent accidents."

"Understood," Lu Zhao and Xiao Ran replied simultaneously, and they began to get busy.

The entire testing area regained its tense yet orderly atmosphere.

Lin Che walked alone to a corner, his eyes fixed on the night, his heart filled with vigilance.

He didn't know what conspiracy Ye was plotting, but he knew he had to stay vigilant and protect his team's safety at all times.

Su Wanqing closed her tablet and looked up at Lu Zhao. "How's the exhaust system modification going? Time is running out."

Lu Zhao took off his glasses, rubbed his temples, and said wearily, "Based on the data simulation just now, I readjusted the direction and power of the exhaust vents and strengthened the negative pressure circulation. Now, even if there is a leak of harmful gas, it can be discharged from the test area in the shortest possible time. The operating instructions have been prepared and handed over to Xiao Ran for execution."

He sent an electronic document to Xiao Ran. Xiao Ran quickly glanced through it, frowning, "This thing looks more complicated than defusing a bomb."

"Then bring your bomb-defusing mentality with you." Su Wanqing looked at him coldly. "This is crucial to whether we can safely complete the test. If you don't have the patience, then find someone else."

Xiao Ran pursed his lips, but still didn't refute it, and silently saved the operation guide.

"Don't worry, I guarantee I'll figure this thing out."

Su Wanqing nodded and turned her gaze to the sample observation area.

There, Lin Che was standing in front of a row of instruments, staring intently at the data fluctuations on the screen.

Night, or rather, the being that shared Lin Che's body, also stood there, but his expression was unusually calm, even carrying a faint smile.

"Lin Che, you are in charge of monitoring the reaction of the samples. If you find any abnormalities, report to me immediately," Su Wanqing instructed.

"Understood." Lin Che's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was trying to hold back something.

Su Wanqing walked to a recorder and skillfully turned on the device.

She needs to personally record the initial diffusion data of the samples, which will be crucial for subsequent research.

Just then, the voice of the survivor leader came through the communicator.

"Su Wanqing, in order to show our sincerity and ensure the fairness of the transaction, I have decided to add another experimenter to conduct on-site observation."

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. More lab technicians? This was definitely not good news.

She keenly sensed that the leader's action likely had another purpose.

"Who is it?" Su Wanqing asked, trying to keep her tone calm.

"It's our base's chief biologist, Chen Ming. He's very experienced and has a lot of insights into mutant research, so I believe he can provide you with some valuable advice."

The leader's tone sounded very sincere, but Su Wanqing didn't believe him at all.

Chen Ming? Su Wanqing had heard of this name before. He was once a top biologist in the country, but after the outbreak of the virus, he defected to the leader and became his "personal" expert.

“I need to know about his background,” Su Wanqing said.

"Chen Ming? He's a veteran expert, don't worry, he's absolutely trustworthy."

The leader interrupted Su Wanqing, "I'll arrange for him to come over right away."

The communication was cut off. Su Wanqing's face turned extremely pale. She knew that the leader's move was undoubtedly to monitor their actions and collect firsthand data from the samples.

“This Chen Ming has a complicated background,” Su Wanqing said to Lu Zhao.

“According to our investigation, he is indeed a confidant of the leader and is quite accomplished in mutant research, but…” Lu Zhao paused, “he has a close relationship with Zhao Quan, which is very likely related to the previous interference test.”

"As expected." Su Wanqing sneered, "It seems this leader really wants to sabotage our test."

She pondered for a moment, and a plan formed in her mind. "We can't let Chen Ming act freely; we must keep him firmly under control."

She looked at Lin Che, "I deliberately paired him with Ye to closely monitor his actions. Ye's dual personality might have some unexpected effects."

Lin Che's body trembled slightly, as if he sensed something. He raised his head and looked at Su Wanqing with a complicated expression, but finally nodded.

Su Wanqing then looked at Xiao Ran. "You are in charge of inspecting every corner of the testing area, especially those remote corners. I suspect the leader might have arranged for someone to plant remote triggering devices to sabotage our tests."

Xiao Ran nodded, his eyes resolute. "Don't worry, I will definitely not let them succeed."

Just as Xiao Ran began his final checks, he suddenly stopped and frowned.

He walked to a wall in the testing area and gently tapped the wall with his hand.

“There’s something wrong here,” Xiao Ran said, his tone very serious. “There’s a cavity behind the wall, and a miniature signal transmitter is installed there. This was likely left by the ‘maintenance technician’ sent by the leader, who was trying to remotely trigger some devices during the testing process.”

Su Wanqing rushed over and looked at the wall that Xiao Ran had pointed out. A surge of anger welled up inside her.

The leader's scheme did not disappoint her.

"Take it down," Su Wanqing said decisively.

Xiao Ran immediately took out his tools and began dismantling the wall. Soon, a miniature transmitter hidden behind the wall was discovered.

“We must be careful; the leader’s methods are more insidious than we imagined,” Su Wanqing said.

At the same time, Lin Che stood in the sample removal area and silently activated his supernatural power.

His hands trembled slightly, and faint blue energy fluctuations emanated from his body.

His special ability can effectively heal damage caused by mutants and provide his team with a quick evacuation opportunity in emergencies. In his mind, the voice of the night echoed again: "This energy fluctuation can interfere with the mutants' perception, preventing them from accurately determining our location."

Lin Che didn't speak, but silently increased his energy output.

He knew that while Ye's dual personality made him somewhat uneasy, it also provided them with a powerful form of protection.

Suddenly, a commotion arose from outside the testing area. The survivor leader, accompanied by several bodyguards and the experimenter named Chen Ming, entered the testing area.

Chen Ming was wearing a white lab coat and gold-rimmed glasses, looking very professional.

He looked around, a disdainful expression on his face.

"Su Wanqing, I'm very happy to participate in this test," Chen Ming said, his tone carrying a hint of arrogance.

“Mr. Chen, welcome,” Su Wanqing said, her tone calm and indifferent.

Chen Ming ignored Su Wanqing's polite words and went directly to the sample observation area to observe the reaction of the samples.

A greedy glint shone in his eyes.

Su Wanqing looked at Chen Ming, her heart filled with vigilance. She knew that this test was full of unknowns and dangers.

Within the testing area, the massive metal door slowly closed, fitting perfectly against the wall.

The start button was pressed, and in the control room, Lu Zhao's fingers flew across the keyboard, lines of program code scrolling by.

A deep hum gradually rose, signaling the official start of the sample diffusion test.

"Begin the release," Su Wanqing commanded in a deep voice.

In the center of the control room, a transparent container slowly opened, and a colorless and odorless pale blue gas escaped from it, quickly spreading out and diffusing towards the pre-set zombie reaction zone.

In that area, through the thick glass wall, you could see more than a dozen bound zombies.

They writhe and emit chilling roars.

For the first few seconds, nothing seemed to change. But soon, the zombies began to move more slowly, and their roars gradually subsided.

The limbs that had been struggling frantically now moved slowly and stiffly, like a rusty machine.

"Preliminary results show that the samples have a significant inhibitory effect on zombies."

Lu Zhao quickly analyzed the data, his brows relaxing slightly. "The zombies' activity frequency has decreased by nearly fifty percent, and their muscle tension has also weakened significantly."

The survivor leader's voice immediately came through the communicator, tinged with excitement: "See? The sample is indeed effective! It seems our deal is worth looking forward to."

Su Wanqing remained expressionless. She knew the leader's purpose: this test was not only to verify the validity of the sample, but also to obtain a more favorable price.

The leader wanted to exaggerate the effects of the sample in order to increase the bargaining power.

"The data is being uploaded; you can check it yourselves," Su Wanqing said calmly, her tone devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

The zombies outside the glass wall were still struggling slowly, as if trapped in a thick swamp.

However, this slowing effect did not last long. A few minutes later, the zombies began to regain their mobility, and their roars grew louder.

Xiao Ran stood in the corner of the control room, his brows furrowed. He stared at the zombies outside the glass wall, a hint of suspicion flashing in his eyes.

"Something's not right. The effects of the sample didn't last long; the zombies recovered too quickly."

"This is just an initial test, and the diffusion concentration of the sample is not high enough."

Lu Zhao explained, "The inhibitory effect will be more obvious as the concentration increases."

“I don’t think so.” Xiao Ran shook his head. “I feel that the leader is manipulating the test results.”

Su Wanqing glanced at Xiao Ran but didn't say anything. She also vaguely sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't be sure yet.

Just then, Lu Zhao's expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stood up.

"Oh no! The sample contains a new type of colorless toxin. Although the concentration is very low, it is enough to weaken the human immune system!"

"What?" Su Wanqing exclaimed in surprise. She immediately went to Lu Zhao's side and checked the data on the screen.

"Where did this toxin come from? It wasn't mentioned in the original sample composition report!"

“I’m not sure yet, I’m tracing the source of this toxin.” Lu Zhao typed rapidly on the keyboard, “But what is certain is that this toxin is harmful to the human body, and long-term exposure may lead to serious health problems.”

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. The leader's purpose was probably not just to raise the transaction price, but more likely to be plotting something.

Just then, a blue light shot out from Lin Che's fingertip and silently merged into the sample gas.

His body trembled slightly, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

Night fell, and the second personality lurking within Lin Che's body was secretly manipulating the spread of the samples.

Su Wanqing keenly noticed Lin Che's unusual behavior, and her gaze immediately fell on him.

She saw Lin Che's eyes become empty and numb, and a strange smile appeared on his lips.

"Lin Che, what are you doing?" Su Wanqing asked coldly.

Lin Che did not answer, but continued to manipulate the supernatural power within his body.

He seemed to be completely controlled by the night, becoming its puppet.

The voice of the night echoed in Su Wanqing's mind: "Don't worry, I'm just making some minor adjustments."

To make the sample's effects more apparent, we need to satisfy the leader more.

Su Wanqing's eyes widened; she finally understood Ye's intentions.

Night was not only helping them complete the tests, but also secretly colluding with the leader to transmit data to the leader's experimenters.

She quickly glanced around the control room and saw a man in a lab coat secretly recording sample data on his phone in a corner.

That person was Chen Ming, the experimenter brought by the survivor leader.

Chen Ming was tall and thin, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, making him look very shrewd.

Upon seeing Su Wanqing's gaze, he immediately stopped what he was doing, a calm expression appearing on his face.

"Su Wanqing, what are you looking at?" Chen Ming asked, his tone tinged with provocation.

"I'm just admiring your excellent observation skills," Su Wanqing said coldly. "I hope you can analyze data as carefully as I can."

Chen Ming pursed his lips and didn't say anything more. He continued to record the sample data on his phone, but slowed down to avoid attracting Su Wanqing's attention.

“The spread of the sample is accelerating,” Lu Zhao warned, “and the concentration of harmful gases is also gradually increasing. We must find the sample’s weaknesses as soon as possible.”

“I’m analyzing the composition of the sample,” Su Wanqing said, “hoping to find some valuable clues.”

Xiao Ran walked to Su Wanqing's side and said in a low voice, "I don't believe the leader would cooperate with us so easily. I think we should re-examine his other experimental projects and strengthen our defenses to prevent a zombie riot."

“Your suggestion is very good,” Su Wanqing nodded. “I will arrange for someone to conduct an investigation later.”

Suddenly, Lin Che's hands trembled even more violently, and his voice became hoarse and shrill: "The concentration... the concentration needs to be higher... to completely control them..."

Su Wanqing was startled. She realized that Ye was gradually taking control of Lin Che's body and trying to increase the concentration of the sample to a dangerous level.

She had to stop the night, or the consequences would be unimaginable.
