Chapter 143 Riot
Su Wanqing walked to the combat table in the center of the operations room and pointed to the flashing red dot on the map.

"Outer perimeter alert report: The activity frequency of the zombie horde has increased abnormally. They are concentrated in areas D and E, and their numbers are constantly rising."

Xiao Ran put down his gun and walked to the table. "Sectors D and E are the closest areas to the leader's camp. This... is not right."

"Lu Zhao, where's your data?" Su Wanqing turned her gaze to Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao rapidly typed on the computer keyboard, and the data on the screen kept scrolling.

"We just detected that the zombie hordes in areas D and E are exhibiting a kind of...viral resonance phenomenon. The frequency is complex, but it is similar to the energy frequency generated when Mr. Ye used biological control abilities, as he demonstrated earlier."

Su Wanqing frowned slightly. "Similarity? What do you mean?"

"I can't be sure, this is just a preliminary analysis. Further testing is needed to determine if there is a connection between the two."

Lu Zhao replied, his hands still flying across the keyboard.

“Night…” Xiao Ran muttered softly, his tone filled with obvious doubt.

Su Wanqing raised her hand to interrupt Xiao Ran. "We can't draw any conclusions now. Lin Che, with your understanding of the virus, can you see any clues?"

Night was sitting in the corner, hands clasped together, listening quietly.

He slightly raised his head, his gaze falling on Lu Zhao's computer screen for a few seconds before quickly looking away.

Lin Che adjusted his glasses and walked to the screen to examine the data carefully.

“Lu Zhao’s analysis is correct; there is indeed a similarity in frequency. However, this resonance phenomenon is usually accompanied by some kind of interference from the host, or rather, some kind of external stimulus.”

"External stimulus?" Su Wanqing repeated, considering the possible scenarios.

"Rebels? Or some other factor?"

“It’s hard to say. But if the rebels can grasp the principles of Mr. Ye’s superpowers and use them to guide the zombie horde… then they could create a massive chaos,” Lin Che said, his tone filled with worry.

"It seems we must be fully prepared." Su Wanqing took a deep breath and made up her mind.

"Lu Zhao, readjust the storage of supplies in the jade bracelet space, prioritizing medical supplies and defensive equipment. Xiao Ran, increase patrols around the perimeter, and report any abnormalities immediately."

Night suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. "I can try to control these zombies."

The room fell silent instantly. All eyes were on Ye.

"You?" Xiao Ran was the first to react, his tone full of doubt.

"What gives you the right to control zombies? What are you trying to do?"

“Controlling zombies can enhance our defensive capabilities. If we can turn these zombies into our weapons, we can effectively resist the rebels’ attacks.” Night’s tone was calm, revealing no emotional fluctuation.

"Are you testing us?" Xiao Ran glared at Ye.

“I’m just offering a suggestion. A suggestion that can solve the current predicament,” Night replied, clasping his hands together in a relaxed manner.

"Chief Su, I strongly object!" Xiao Ran raised his voice eight octaves.

"We can't trust him! He might be colluding with the rebels and using hordes of zombies against us!"

"Xiao Ran, calm down." Su Wanqing's voice was calm as she tried to quell the situation.

"We need to carefully consider Mr. Ye's proposal. Although there are risks involved, if it succeeds, it will also be an advantage for us."

"Advantages? You think he'll genuinely help us? He's been hiding too many secrets from the very beginning!" Xiao Ran's tone was agitated.

"We don't yet know enough about Mr. Ye's abilities. We need more time to observe. Right now, we can't deny his potential just because we have doubts."

Su Wanqing turned her gaze to Ye. "Mr. Ye, how many zombies do you think you can control?"

“It depends on the size of the zombie horde and the degree of virus mutation. If it's just ordinary zombies, I can control hundreds or even thousands. But if the individual zombies in the horde are too powerful, or the virus mutation is too severe, the difficulty of control will increase,” Ye replied, looking directly at Su Wanqing.

"What will happen if control fails?" Su Wanqing pressed.

“It could cause the zombie horde to get out of control and pose a greater threat to us,” Ye answered honestly. “But I’ve already considered all of these risks.”

"Lu Zhao, what are your thoughts on Mr. Ye's proposal?" Su Wanqing asked Lu Zhao.

Lu Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "From a technical standpoint, Mr. Ye's ability is feasible. However, the zombies he controls will always be affected by the virus. If these zombies suddenly regain consciousness or mutate, it will cause us incalculable losses."

“We need a controller to monitor Mr. Ye’s actions at all times, to ensure he doesn’t use the zombie horde against us,” Lu Zhao added.

“Okay.” Su Wanqing nodded. “Lin Che, you’ll be in charge of monitoring Mr. Ye’s energy output. Report to me immediately if you find anything unusual.”

"Yes," Lin Che replied, his gaze fixed on Ye, as if secretly observing his every move.

In the darkness, the zombie hordes in areas D and E became increasingly active.

A deep, guttural roar surged forth like a tide.

Xiao Ran stood on the outer perimeter guard tower, his hands gripping his gun tightly, his brow furrowed.

He charged forward several times, attempting to suppress the zombie horde's advance. But the number of zombies was simply too overwhelming, and he was repeatedly swallowed up by the sea of ​​zombies.

"Xiao Ran, be careful!" Su Wanqing warned Xiao Ran over the communicator.

"No problem!" Xiao Ran replied, his voice tinged with fatigue.

In the corner, the girl quietly observed the movements of the zombie horde on the screen.

Her face was expressionless, calm to the point of being indifferent.

Su Wanqing noticed the girl's unusual behavior and a lingering doubt arose in her heart.

The girl seemed to have anticipated the unusual movements of the zombie horde.

"What...do you think?" Su Wanqing asked, her gaze falling on the girl.

The girl slowly turned her head to look at Su Wanqing, her eyes remaining calm.

"They...are waiting."

"Wait?" Su Wanqing asked, puzzled.

“Waiting for a signal,” the girl replied. “A signal from… the controller.”

Upon hearing the girl's words, Ye's body trembled slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

He lowered his head, keeping his hands folded on his knees, and remained silent.

Lu Zhao's data report has been updated. "The resonance frequency is increasing! The zombie horde's activity range is also expanding! They are approaching the leader's camp!"

Su Wanqing followed the rebel soldiers through several checkpoints, the air thick with the smell of disinfectant and decay.

She pushed a cart piled high with medical supplies marked with the Red Cross—bandages, disinfectant, antibiotics—all salvaged from several small clinics she had previously looted.

"Halt." A gruff voice rang out, and Su Wanqing stopped in her tracks. A soldier walked over and casually rummaged through the supplies in the vehicle. "Medical supplies? The quantity is decent." He pointed with the butt of his rifle at several boxes of antibiotics. "Register these."

A recorder came over, carefully noted the type and quantity of supplies, and then stamped each box with a red seal.

Su Wanqing noticed that the pressure applied to the stamp was greater than before, and the design of the stamp was also more complex.

“High-value resource.” The recorder looked up at the soldier beside him and said, “Send it to ‘Poison Spider’ for review.”

Su Wanqing's heart tightened slightly. 'Poison Spider', the number one figure in the rebel army after Allen, is said to be meticulous and ruthless.

She never expected her first encounter with him would be like this.

She was taken to a simple warehouse filled with various supplies.

A slender man in a black leather jacket stood in the center of the warehouse, holding a cigarette and slowly exhaling smoke.

He seemed to live up to his nickname, giving off a vicious and dangerous vibe.

"Are you the one who brought the supplies?" the man asked, his voice hoarse.

"Yes." Su Wanqing tried to keep her voice calm. "My name is Su Wanqing, and I am a freelance trader. These supplies were collected from outside, and I hope they can help everyone."

"A free trader?" The man narrowed his eyes, approached Su Wanqing, and scrutinized her carefully.

"You brought so many medical supplies; you can't just be doing this for good, can you? Tell me, what is your purpose?"

Su Wanqing was prepared. She took a deep breath and said, "I heard that there has been an outbreak here, with a large number of infections and a severe shortage of medical supplies. I just want to help those who need help."

"An epidemic?" The man curled his lip. "There's no epidemic among the rebels, only some ordinary wounded. What's the composition of these supplies you brought? Is there any special purpose for them?"

Su Wanqing's mind raced. She knew that if she couldn't explain the origin of these supplies, she might be mistaken for a spy.

She organized her thoughts and said, "These supplies are all common medical supplies; I just collected them from some remote areas."

As for its special uses… I brought some new types of hemostatic bandages with a special coagulant added, which can quickly stop bleeding and reduce the risk of infection.”

"A new type of coagulant?" The man raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. What are the ingredients? Show them to me."

Su Wanqing knew she had to be careful; she couldn't reveal any information about the jade bracelet's construction.

She hesitated for a moment, then said, "These clotting agents have a confidential formula, and I cannot disclose the specific ingredients. But I can guarantee that these clotting agents are harmless to the human body and are very effective."

"A secret formula?" The man chuckled. "Do you think I'd believe you? Who are you? Where are you from? Who are you working with?"

Su Wanqing's heart raced; she knew she was in danger.

She forced herself to calm down and said, "I'm an independent trader. I don't work with anyone. As for where I come from... I've traveled to many places and met many people. I just want to find a place where I can survive."

The man stared into Su Wanqing's eyes, as if trying to see through her heart.

Su Wanqing tried her best to keep her eyes calm, but her mind was racing as she thought of a solution.

"How did you find out about the jade bracelet?" the man suddenly asked, catching Su Wanqing off guard.

Su Wanqing's heart sank. She hadn't expected the 'Poisonous Spider' to suddenly ask about the jade bracelet.

She forced herself to remain calm and said, "Jade bracelet? I don't know what you're talking about. I've only heard that there's a magical jade here that can cure diseases."

The man narrowed his eyes, his tone becoming more dangerous: "What exactly are you trying to hide? I know you know a lot about jade bracelets. You'd better tell me the truth, or I'll make you regret coming here."

Su Wanqing knew she had to come up with a way to dispel the 'poisonous spider's' doubts.

She thought for a moment and said, "I do know something about some of the functions of jade bracelets. I've heard that jade bracelets can collect various kinds of energy and convert that energy into healing energy. But I don't know how these functions are achieved; I've only heard it from some adventurers."

"Collecting energy?" The man seemed very interested in this idea. "What energy? How do you collect it? Tell me in detail."

Taking the opportunity, Su Wanqing said, "The jade bracelet can collect radiation energy, bio-energy, and even zombie energy from the environment. As long as the jade bracelet is placed near an energy source, it will automatically absorb this energy. Then, the user can convert this energy into healing energy by touching the jade bracelet."

This was a lie she had fabricated to conceal the true function of the jade bracelet.

She never expected that this lie would pique the interest of the 'poisonous spider'.

"Zombie energy?" the man repeated, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Are you sure the jade bracelet can collect the energy of zombies?

“I’m not sure, but I’ve heard some rumors,” Su Wanqing replied.

“Very interesting.” The man lit a new cigarette and slowly exhaled the smoke.

"It seems you do know some inside information. Tell me, why are you telling me this? What exactly do you want from me?"

Su Wanqing knew this was her chance to gather intelligence. She lowered her voice and said, "I've heard there's a laboratory here that specializes in virus research. I hope we can collaborate to develop methods to combat viruses."

"A laboratory?" The man narrowed his eyes. "You want to go to a laboratory? What qualifications do you have?"

"I am a researcher, and I have participated in some virus research projects."

Su Wanqing said, "I believe I can offer you some valuable advice."

The man was silent for a moment, then said, "If you want to go to the lab, you must first prove your worth. If you really have research capabilities, you can find some rare virus samples for me. If you can find these samples, I will agree to let you go to the lab."

Su Wanqing felt a surge of joy; she knew she was one step closer to her goal.

She said, "No problem, I'm happy to take on the challenge. Please tell me what kind of virus sample you need?"

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the camp, Lin Che leaned against a tree, his face pale.

He felt waves of headache, and blurry images kept flashing through his mind.

A rebel soldier approached, sized Lin Che up and down, and asked in an unfriendly tone, "What are you doing here? Why are you acting so suspiciously?"

Lin Che tried to hide his abnormality, but his body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The soldier's gaze grew even more suspicious. He grabbed Lin Che's arm and tried to search him.

"Let me go!" Lin Che roared, and a faint water-based energy surged from his hand, forming a water film that pushed the soldier away.

The appearance of the water film alerted the soldier, who immediately sent a distress signal to the other soldiers.

Knowing he could no longer conceal his identity, Lin Che turned and ran into the depths of the forest.

The soldiers gave chase, and gunfire echoed through the forest.

Su Wanqing heard gunshots in the warehouse, her brows furrowing. She knew that Lin Che's operation had been exposed.

She was worried about Lin Che's safety, but she had to stay calm and continue with the mission.

She looked at the 'poisonous spider' again and said, "Please tell me, what kind of virus sample do you need?"
