Chapter 127 The Unusual Riot of Zombies

Su Wanqing reached out almost simultaneously to stop Lin Che, but it was too late.

A faint blue mist, like invisible threads, spread from Lin Che's fingertips and merged into the gas that had already permeated the testing area.

"Lin Che, what exactly do you want to do!" Su Wanqing's voice was filled with suppressed anger.

Lin Che's body trembled violently. He gritted his teeth and tried to control his consciousness, but the power of the night was simply too strong.

His eyes remained vacant, but a chilling smile played on his lips.

"I'm helping you. To make the sample even more perfect." Ye's voice was cold and calm, echoing in Su Wanqing's mind.

The moment the sound of night faded, the zombies outside the glass wall suddenly let out an even more ferocious roar.

Their previously sluggish movements suddenly accelerated, and they charged at the chains that bound them like madmen, producing a deafening metallic clang.

"Oh no!" Xiao Ran exclaimed in a low voice, immediately rushing to the control panel and sounding the alarm.

"The sample diffusion has entered the second stage." Lu Zhao's voice carried a hint of panic as he rapidly typed on the keyboard, bringing up various data charts.

"The zombies' reactions have become abnormal; their speed and strength have increased significantly, and their attack patterns... are not very natural."

Su Wanqing's gaze was fixed on the zombies outside the glass wall.

The zombies' movements were stiff and broken, as if they were being controlled by some external force.

They no longer attack instinctively like ordinary zombies, but instead charge at the chains that bind them in an organized and reckless manner.

"Lu Zhao, what are the specifics?" Su Wanqing forced herself to calm down and asked.

Lu Zhao's face was pale. He pointed to a waveform on the screen and said in a trembling voice, "The sample gas triggered a behavioral stimulus effect, which directly affected the zombie's visual and auditory nervous system. It...it's like some kind of neurotoxin, making the zombie more violent and aggressive."

"Neurotoxin?" Su Wanqing frowned, realizing that the situation was spiraling out of control.

"Activate the backup barrier!" Xiao Ran shouted without hesitation. He rushed to the control panel by the wall and quickly entered a series of commands.

After a buzzing sound, a semi-transparent energy barrier rose around the testing area in an attempt to stop the zombies' onslaught.

However, the zombies seemed completely oblivious to the barrier's presence, continuing to charge at a frenzied pace, producing a series of dull thuds.

"The barrier is under tremendous pressure," Lu Zhao reported. "The frequency and strength of the zombie attacks are constantly increasing, and some parts of the quarantine zone have already been damaged."

Su Wanqing's heart sank to the bottom. The situation was worse than she had imagined.

Without hesitation, she raised her left hand, and the antique jade bracelet shone brightly.

A line of blue text appeared before her eyes: Spend 1000 yuan, get a rebate of 1000 tons of high-strength composite materials.

She quickly conceived of the material's form and properties in her mind.

She needs a barrier material that can solidify quickly and has extremely high toughness to compensate for the shortcomings of existing barriers.

"Generate a one-time barrier agent and deploy it in the riot area!" Su Wanqing gave the order to the jade bracelet.

The jade bracelet shone even brighter, and a large amount of white powder gushed out from it, condensing into countless small balls in the air before being guided to the testing area and scattered above the rioting zombies.

Upon contact with the air, the small balls immediately released a viscous liquid, which quickly formed a sturdy barrier around the zombies.

In that instant, the disturbance in the testing area was temporarily quelled.

The zombies were trapped within the barriers formed by the potion, and could no longer pose a threat to the outside world.

However, Su Wanqing knew that this was only a temporary expedient.

Those barriers are only so strong and will soon be breached by the zombies.

"Chief, something's wrong." Xiao Ran walked up to the survivor leader who was watching the surveillance footage and said sternly, "The sample test has a serious error; the zombies are out of control!"

The leader of the survivors, a short, stout, middle-aged man with a gloomy face, was named Li Guoqiang.

He stared blankly at the surveillance footage, seemingly unsurprised by the chaos before him.

"This is just one aspect of the sample's burst performance," Li Guoqiang said slowly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone. "We must evaluate the sample's performance under various extreme conditions; that's what science is all about."

"What do you mean?" Xiao Ran said angrily. "You knew that the samples would trigger a zombie riot, yet you still insisted on conducting the test? You're playing with our lives!"

Li Guoqiang sneered and said, "Our transaction rules are very clear. I only need to provide the samples, and you are responsible for testing them. As for the test results, that's your business." Upon hearing Li Guoqiang's words, Lin Che angrily rushed forward and grabbed Li Guoqiang's collar.

"Do you know what you're doing? You're going to kill someone!"

Li Guoqiang gently pushed Lin Che's hand away and said disdainfully, "Young man, don't get too excited. We're all working hard to survive, just in different ways."

"You..." Lin Che was so angry he couldn't speak. He wanted to rush forward again, but Su Wanqing stopped him.

"Lin Che, calm down," Su Wanqing said in a low voice. "Now is not the time to argue. We must find a solution to the problem as soon as possible."

Su Wanqing looked at Li Guoqiang, a cold glint in her eyes. She knew that there must be some kind of secret agreement between Li Guoqiang and Ye.

They deliberately exploited the side effects of the samples to test the team's capabilities and profit from it.

She decided that she must find out Li Guoqiang's true purpose and expose the conspiracy behind him.

“Lu Zhao, continue analyzing the sample data,” Su Wanqing said. “Find the weaknesses in the sample and develop countermeasures.”

"Yes." Lu Zhao nodded and immediately threw himself into his busy work.

The zombie riot in the test area continued. Although it was temporarily contained by the barrier potion generated by Su Wanqing, the zombies continued to assault the barrier and let out terrifying roars.

Su Wanqing's gaze swept around her. She knew that an even more severe test had just begun.

The testing area was filled with a nauseating smell of blood and burning.

The translucent energy barrier was teetering on the brink of collapse, with some parts completely shattered, revealing the zombies thrashing about outside.

Su Wanqing's throat tightened, and she suppressed the irritation in her heart, her gaze quickly sweeping over the mess.

"How are the wounded?" Su Wanqing's voice was calm to the point of being indifferent, yet it carried an unquestionable command.

A young team member in protective gear stumbled over, his face pale.

"Reporting to Supervisor Su, Li Ming was scratched on the leg by a zombie, Wang Qiang suffered a broken arm, and several other team members have suffered abrasions and lacerations of varying degrees and need immediate treatment."

Before Su Wanqing could speak, Lin Che had already moved. He moved with lightning speed, weaving through the collapsed equipment and piles of rubble, his hands gathering wisps of blue water.

The water flowed like serpents, coiling around the injured team members and quickly seeping into their wounds, repairing the flesh torn open by the zombies' claws.

Lin Che's movements were fluid, precise, and efficient. He seemed like a different person; the light in his previously empty eyes had been rekindled, replaced by focus and determination.

The voice of the night echoed in his mind: "Do your best to save them, Che. Let them know that your power can protect them."

Lin Che didn't answer, but silently buried himself in treating the illness. He could feel the power of the night eroding his consciousness, but he had to resist; he had to protect these people.

"Lin Che, don't push yourself." Su Wanqing walked over and said with some concern, looking at the beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Your current situation..."

"I'm fine." Lin Che's voice was a little hoarse, but his tone was unusually firm.

"The power of night has not affected my healing abilities for the time being."

Su Wanqing gave him a deep look, but said nothing more. She knew that Lin Che was engaged in a fierce struggle with the night.

She could only trust him, trust that he could control his power.

"Xiao Ran, repair the backup barrier equipment as soon as possible," Su Wanqing said to Xiao Ran, who was standing to the side, changing the subject.

Without wasting words, Xiao Ran immediately rushed to the control room next door. He skillfully opened the equipment panel and began to inspect the damaged lines and components.

He is a retired special forces soldier who is very knowledgeable about all kinds of machinery and electronic equipment.

"Don't worry, Manager Su," Xiao Ran said while busy with his work.

"The backup barrier can be activated in ten minutes at most."

"Lu Zhao, what about you?" Su Wanqing looked at Lu Zhao, who was collecting data.

"What is the quantity and condition of the samples?"

Lu Zhao looked up and adjusted his glasses. "There are five samples in total. Two of them have been destroyed by zombies, and the remaining three are basically intact. According to preliminary statistics, at least thirty zombies have broken through the first barrier and entered the testing area."
