Chapter 145 Dangerous Revelation
"Poison Spider" led Su Wanqing through one security door after another. The air in the laboratory grew colder and colder, faintly carrying the smell of disinfectant and something rotten.

He stopped in front of a heavy metal door, swiped his card, and it opened. "This is the core area; unauthorized entry is prohibited."

Su Wanqing nodded and followed him into the laboratory. The interior of the laboratory was more complex than she had expected, with various instruments and equipment densely packed together, and red warning lights flashing intermittently.

Several researchers in protective suits were busy at work, seemingly oblivious to their arrival.

"This place mainly stores the various zombie virus samples we've collected."

"The 'Poison Spider' pointed to the rows of refrigerated cabinets and said, 'These samples are the basis of our research.'"

Su Wanqing walked to a row of refrigerated display cases and began to observe them carefully. Each display case had a label with the experiment code and a brief description of the virus.

“What do these code names mean?” she asked.

"These code names are based on the characteristics and origin of the virus."

"The 'Poison Spider' replied, "For example, this 'Alpha-7' was extracted from mutated zombies and is highly infectious. This 'Beta-3' is a man-made virus that we're trying to use to enhance the zombies' attack capabilities."

Su Wanqing's gaze fell on the "Beta-3" label. Suddenly, she noticed a line of small print next to the refrigerator: Frequency 432Hz.

She took out the pendant she always carried with her, and a thought flashed through her mind. She quickly recited the information she had received when she got the pendant. The old man had left her with only one sentence: all unusual phenomena are related to frequency.

She silently activated the pendant, which began to vibrate slightly, with a frequency very close to 432Hz as indicated on the label.

She was startled. She discovered similar situations in the other refrigerated cabinets. The experimental codes marked next to some sample storage compartments corresponded to frequencies that were extremely close to the vibration frequencies of the pendants.

"What are you looking at?" The voice of the 'Poison Spider' interrupted Su Wanqing's thoughts.

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about these code names," Su Wanqing said, concealing her shock. "How's the research on these virus samples going?"

"Progress is not going well," 'Poison Spider' sighed. "We have invested a lot of manpower and resources, but we still cannot fully grasp the characteristics of these viruses. Some samples mutate, and some samples produce unpredictable side effects on the test subjects."

'Poison Spider' walked up to a computer and pulled up a data report.

Su Wanqing leaned closer to look. The report showed that some virus samples could produce fluctuations in the environment that resembled "guidance," causing them to tend towards a certain unified action.

This made Su Wanqing very uneasy. If such guiding ability really existed, then controlling zombies would be much easier.

She secretly took a picture of the data on the report with her phone and sent it to Lu Zhao.

She realized that this data was crucial for developing a counterattack plan.

“These data… are very interesting,” Su Wanqing said. “How did you discover this guiding effect?”

“We didn’t initially discover this effect,” 'Spider' said. “It was in an accidental experiment that we found that when a specific virus sample was released into a horde of zombies, their behavior became more regular, as if they were being controlled by some force.”

Su Wanqing pondered to herself that this power was very likely the energy possessed by the pendant.

She realized that the pendant might be more than just an ornament; it might have a special function of controlling or infecting viruses.

She continued to question the 'poisonous spider' about the details of the virus sample and tried to obtain as much information as possible.

The 'Poison Spider' seemed very interested in Su Wanqing's expertise, and he talked at length about his research findings and the problems he had encountered.

During the observation of the samples, Su Wanqing noticed that some of the individual experimental subjects in the on-site sample storage chamber exhibited infection states similar to those of the mutated zombies they had encountered before, which made her feel uneasy.

Suddenly, a commotion arose outside the laboratory. 'Poison Spider' frowned and said, "What's going on?"

A soldier rushed in and reported, "Mr. Xiao Ran discovered a suspicious group of rebels while patrolling the perimeter. They seem to be trying to bypass our defenses."

The 'Poison Spider's' face darkened. "Send someone to investigate thoroughly."

Su Wanqing knew that Xiao Ran had discovered Allen's secret operation. She inwardly groaned, hoping Xiao Ran would be careful and not easily reveal his identity.

Just then, Su Wanqing felt the vibration frequency of the pendant suddenly increase.

She looked down and noticed the pendant was emitting a faint light. She quickly wrapped it in a surgical lead box, trying to conceal the energy interference.

"What's wrong?" 'Poison Spider' noticed Su Wanqing's unusual behavior and asked.

"Excuse me, I suddenly feel a little unwell," Su Wanqing said. "I might need to rest for a while."

"Are you alright?" 'Poison Spider' asked with concern.

"It's nothing, just a little dizzy," Su Wanqing said. "I need to leave here and get some fresh air." 'Poison Spider' hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, go and rest. But remember not to reveal any information about our lab."

Su Wanqing nodded and said, "I promise."

Before leaving the lab, Su Wanqing glanced back at the refrigerated cabinets.

She knew that these virus samples concealed enormous dangers, and the pendant might be the key to unlocking those dangers.

She must figure out the true purpose of the pendant as soon as possible in order to help them defeat the rebels.

Meanwhile, on the outskirts of the rebel base, Xiao Ran was hiding behind a tree, observing the suspicious rebel group.

He discovered that this group's equipment was significantly different from that of the regular rebels; they used specialized weapons and communication equipment.

He tried to record the other person's actions using a remote monitoring device, but just as he was about to press the record button, the signal was suddenly and briefly blocked.

"Damn it!" Xiao Ran cursed under his breath. He realized that the other party seemed to have discovered his presence.

He immediately changed position, attempting to flank the enemy. However, unbeknownst to him, the enemy had already set a trap, waiting for him to walk right into it.

"Are you alright?" The voice of "Poison Spider" pulled Su Wanqing back to reality.

"It's nothing, I'm just a little dizzy," Su Wanqing replied, trying to keep her breathing steady. "I need to leave here and get some fresh air."

"Alright, go and get some rest. But remember not to reveal any information about our lab."

The "poisonous spider's" gaze swept over her, as if something was amiss.

"I promise." Su Wanqing nodded. She knew she had to leave as soon as possible; her current situation was not optimistic, and the pendant's reaction made her uneasy. She had to find out why.

She had only taken a few steps when she felt the pendant vibrate even more violently.

The tremor directly affected the lead box in her hand, causing faint cracks to appear on its surface.

A sense of unease washed over her, and she immediately quickened her pace.

The vibration of the pendant reached its peak when it was brought close to a row of refrigerated cabinets storing high-risk virus samples.

A faint energy emanated from the pendant, and the surrounding sensors emitted a piercing warning sound.

"What's going on?" "Poison Spider" asked, frowning.

“It might be… an equipment malfunction,” Su Wanqing said quickly. “The signal interference here is quite severe, causing the instrument to malfunction.”

"Equipment malfunction?" "Poison Spider's" voice was skeptical. "This is a core laboratory; the equipment is maintained with extremely strict procedures. How could it suddenly malfunction?"

“It could be due to aging wiring or unstable voltage,” Su Wanqing tried to explain. “Besides, this kind of fault happens occasionally; we’ve encountered it a few times before.”

"The Spider" didn't completely believe her, but he didn't press her for details.

He gestured to the technicians around him to check the equipment, then said to Su Wanqing, "Okay, you can go back and rest now. If you feel unwell again, remember to let me know."

Su Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief and quickly nodded in agreement. She knew she had to leave as soon as possible, otherwise it might arouse more suspicion.

Just as she was about to leave, the laboratory alarm suddenly went off.

Immediately afterwards, an emergency cooling procedure was initiated in some high-risk sample areas, with a large amount of liquid nitrogen being sprayed out, causing the temperature to drop rapidly.

"What happened?" "Poison Spider" roared.

"Report! The temperature controllers in some sample chambers have malfunctioned, and the system has automatically initiated an emergency cooling procedure!" a technician said urgently. "Furthermore, the frequency data for some sample chambers cannot be read!"

"Frequency data cannot be read?" "Poison Spider's" expression turned grim.

"What do you mean?"

"It's likely a device malfunction that caused the data loss," the technician replied. "We are working to recover the data."

Su Wanqing's heart sank; she realized that the interference from the pendant might be more serious than she had imagined.

It not only affected laboratory equipment, but may even have affected the stability of virus samples.

"No, I must leave here as soon as possible." She made up her mind and quickened her pace.
