Chapter 129 New Discovery

“Mr. Javier, this value is too high. It will cause the sample to be unstable and may even cause an explosion,” Lu Zhao tried to explain.

"Explosion? Are you kidding me?" Javi's face darkened.

"I'll say it again, adjust the value to 85 immediately!"

"No." Lu Zhao's attitude was unusually firm. "I can't take that risk."

Xiao Ran couldn't help but interject, "Jia Wei, what you're doing is a blatant violation of the testing process. Don't forget your job is to assist in the testing, not to sabotage it!"

Jia Wei glared at Xiao Ran, his voice shrill: "Shut up! This is none of your business!"

Su Wanqing stepped forward again and separated the two sides. "Stop! Mr. Jia Wei, Lu Zhao's professional abilities are trustworthy. Please trust him."

"Hmph!" Jia Wei snorted coldly, ignoring Lu Zhao, and walked towards the control room.

"Since you won't cooperate, then I'll do it myself!"

Xiao Ran clenched his fists, wishing he could rush up and subdue Jia Wei immediately, but he held back.

He knew he had to stay calm and not complicate things further.

The voice of the night echoed in Lin Che's mind once more: "This Javi is indeed not simple. He has been looking for an opportunity to interfere with the equipment. Che, keep a close eye on his communications with the leader and see what they are planning."

Lin Che nodded, activated his supernatural ability, and began secretly monitoring Jia Wei's communications.

He could feel the power of the night guiding him, helping him infiltrate Javi's communications network.

Su Wanqing walked to Lu Zhao's side and whispered, "Lu Zhao, start modifying the equipment monitoring system now, add some hidden monitoring points, so that even if Jia Wei changes the parameters, we can detect it in time."

"Yes, Supervisor Su." Lu Zhao nodded and immediately began to take action.

Just then, Lu Zhao's expression suddenly changed. He noticed new abnormal signs in the sample reaction area.

"Manager Su, the sample's activity growth rate has accelerated," Lu Zhao said in a low voice.

"It is suspected that a new, unknown ingredient has been injected into it."

Su Wanqing's heart tightened. "What ingredients?"

"It's not clear yet; I'm analyzing it," Lu Zhao said.

"But what is certain is that this component does not have the original odor of the sample."

Lin Che suddenly said, "Be careful, the samples may have an effect on the human body. I suggest distributing protective equipment to all team members immediately."

The voice of the night echoed in Lin Che's mind: "The changes in the sample are beyond expectations, Che. We must find out the truth as soon as possible, or the consequences will be unimaginable."

Su Wanqing nodded and immediately gave the order: "All personnel, distribute protective equipment to the team members immediately! Lu Zhao, speed up the analysis of sample components!"

The tension within the testing area reached its peak. Javi's arrival made this already perilous test even more unpredictable.

Lu Zhao's fingers flew across the keyboard, and dense data scrolled across the screen.

His brows furrowed, and his expression grew increasingly grim.

“Director Su,” he looked up, his voice tinged with seriousness, “the toxin composition of the sample is far more complex than what we analyzed before. I have just detected a new substance that has a long-term damaging effect on the nervous system. Moreover, this substance has a very special structure; it can mimic the neurotransmitters secreted by the human body itself, thereby silently destroying the normal function of neurons.”

Su Wanqing frowned slightly, realizing something was definitely wrong. She walked over to Lu Zhao and carefully examined the data on the screen.

What is this substance?

“Preliminary analysis indicates that it is a modified β-endorphin analogue,” Lu Zhao explained, “but it has undergone special structural modifications, giving it greater toxicity and penetrability. Long-term exposure can lead to memory loss, cognitive decline, and even mental illness.”

"Who added this toxin?" Su Wanqing asked, her tone tinged with anger. Lu Zhao was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "It's hard to say for sure. But the synthesis process of this substance is extremely complex, requiring specialized equipment and technology. It couldn't have been completed in such a short time unless someone had prepared it beforehand. I suspect that Li Guoqiang may have known about the presence of this toxin in the sample all along, but he has been concealing the truth."

Su Wanqing felt a chill run down her spine. Li Guoqiang, the leader who had always appeared kind and caring towards the survivor camp, had actually done such a despicable thing behind her back.

"Organize your analysis results and share them with everyone later."

Su Wanqing said, "Let everyone know the truth, so that they won't be kept in the dark anymore."

“Yes,” Lu Zhao replied.

Just then, Lin Che's voice rang out in the team's communication channel.

"I have conducted localized simulation experiments on the sample gas. The results show that this toxin can rapidly enter the human body through the respiratory tract and remain dormant in the body for a long time."

Initially, there may be no symptoms, but over time, the toxins gradually erode the nervous system, leading to various irreversible damage.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran's expression darkened. "So, the air we're breathing right now might contain this toxin?"

“Yes,” Lin Che replied, “To be on the safe side, I suggest that everyone wear the barrier created by the jade bracelet immediately. Even if it can only temporarily block some of the toxins, it can minimize the risk.”

Without hesitation, Xiao Ran took the jade bracelet from his waist and activated its protective function.

A faint blue light enveloped him, forming a transparent barrier.

“Director Su, I think we should take stronger measures immediately,” Xiao Ran said. “I suspect that Li Guoqiang may be preparing for a larger-scale hostile action. We must be fully prepared to deal with any unforeseen circumstances.”

Su Wanqing nodded. She also felt that it was time to take some decisive measures.

"Lu Zhao, immediately investigate Li Guoqiang's communication records and financial transactions to see if he has any secret connections with the outside world."

Su Wanqing said, "Xiao Ran, you are responsible for strengthening the camp's security and preventing anyone from entering the testing area without authorization. Lin Che, you continue to monitor the changes in the samples and report to me at any time."

“Yes,” the crowd replied.

Su Wanqing took a deep breath, walked to the control panel, looked at the constantly flashing sample data on the screen, and began to make calculations in her mind.

“I’m going to use the space in the jade bracelet to create some independent isolation boxes,” she said to Lu Zhao. “To completely seal the samples and then transfer them to our designated safe area for further observation. We absolutely cannot let Li Guoqiang have any more chances to access these samples.”

"Manager Su, won't this arouse his suspicion?" Lu Zhao asked.

“Even if it arouses his suspicion, it doesn’t matter,” Su Wanqing replied. “I’ve made up my mind. We can’t take any more risks.”

Just as Su Wanqing was about to activate the jade bracelet space, Ye's voice suddenly rang in Lin Che's mind.

"Che, even if we terminate our cooperation with Li Guoqiang, he won't let us off easily. He has enough resources and power to launch an attack on us at any time."

"Then what should we do?" Lin Che asked.

“Keep all the test data,” Ye said. “This data is our bargaining chip in negotiations with Li Guoqiang. If we can prove that he concealed the truth and used survivors for illegal experiments, we might be able to negotiate some favorable terms.”

Lin Che hesitated. "I disagree. We should expose Li Guoqiang's conspiracy as soon as possible and let everyone know his true colors. Rather than hiding the data, we should make it public and let him have nowhere to hide under everyone's condemnation."

"Don't rush to conclusions," Night's voice was somewhat cold. "Now is not the time to play the hero. We need to analyze the situation calmly and make the choice that is most beneficial to us."

“Manager Su,” Lin Che walked to Su Wanqing’s side and said in a low voice, “Ye suggested that we keep the test data as a bargaining chip, but I think we should expose Li Guoqiang’s conspiracy as soon as possible.”

Su Wanqing paused slightly, then shook her head. "We'll postpone the vote on this proposal. Right now, the most important thing is to ensure the safety of the samples and the health of all team members. As for Li Guoqiang's matter, we'll make a decision after we have more evidence."

"Yes," Lin Che replied, but he still felt uneasy.

He always felt that Ye's suggestion concealed a deeper purpose.

The atmosphere in the testing area grew even more tense. Everyone tacitly realized that a crisis was quietly approaching.
