Chapter 146 Lu Zhao's Equipment Alarm

Meanwhile, outside the RV, Lu Zhao was monitoring the laboratory via the onboard computer.

The signals he received from the laboratory showed a break in the spectrum, an extremely rare occurrence.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhao frowned and began analyzing the signal data.

He quickly discovered that this spectral break was likely related to some kind of energy interference inside the laboratory.

He tried to trace the source of the interference, but the signal was blocked by some force.

He could only deduce the nature of the interference source by analyzing the residual spectral information.

"This...this energy fluctuation is very similar to the energy frequency of the pendant that Su Wanqing always carries," Lu Zhao exclaimed.

He immediately pulled up the energy spectrum diagram of the pendant and compared it with the abnormal signal in the laboratory.

The results showed a high degree of compatibility between the two.

"Could it be that the pendant is resonating?" Lu Zhao couldn't believe his discovery.

"But how could the energy fluctuations of the pendant affect the laboratory equipment? And what impact would it have on virus samples?"

Before he could even process what was happening, the RV's computer system suddenly activated an emergency restriction program.

A warning message popped up on the screen: "The system has detected unidentified energy interference. In order to protect the safety of the RV, an emergency restriction procedure will be initiated, and some remote monitoring permissions will be closed."

"What?" Lu Zhao exclaimed. He tried to prevent the system from starting the restriction program, but to no avail.

The RV's computer system had completely malfunctioned, and he had lost remote monitoring access to the laboratory.

Just then, Su Wanqing contacted him through the car's communication device.

"Lu Zhao, the situation at the lab is bad, I must evacuate immediately."

“I understand,” Lu Zhao said gravely. “The resonance of the pendant is posing a potential hazard to the laboratory system. You should leave as soon as possible.”

“I’m already out,” Su Wanqing replied. “However, I’m worried that the virus samples in the lab might mutate.”

“Don’t worry,” Lu Zhao said. “I will do my best to analyze the data and find a solution to the problem.”

The pendant vibrated more violently. Su Wanqing felt her head throbbing more and more, as if something was eroding her consciousness.

She gripped the pendant tightly, trying to control its energy fluctuations.

However, she found that she had no control over it at all; the pendant was like an unruly wild horse, struggling wildly in her hands.

In the open space outside the RV, the girl was pacing back and forth anxiously.

She kept glancing in the direction of the laboratory, her face filled with anxiety.

"Lu Zhao, why aren't you saying anything?" she asked. "How is Su Wanqing now? Is she in danger?"

Lu Zhao was busy cracking the computer system's restrictions and didn't have time to answer the girl's question.

"Lu Zhao!" the girl cried out again, her voice trembling with tears, "Tell me, is Su Wanqing in danger!"

Lu Zhao looked up at the girl, whose face was filled with unease and fear.

He realized he had to appease her as soon as possible, or it might cause even bigger trouble.

“She’s fine,” Lu Zhao said. “She’s on a mission and can’t contact us right now.”

"No, she must be in danger!" the girl said, shaking her head. "I can feel it. There's something wrong with the pendant. It's been vibrating, and it's getting more and more violent!"

"What are you talking about?" Lu Zhao asked.

“I…I don’t know,” the girl said. “I just…I just feel very uneasy.”

She suddenly stopped speaking, and tears streamed down her face.

Lu Zhao was at a loss for words, overwhelmed by the girl's emotions. He tried to comfort her, but didn't know what to say.

"Don't cry." Lu Zhao gently patted the girl's shoulder. "Everything will be alright."

The girl did not stop crying; she just clung tightly to Lu Zhao's arm as if grasping at the only straw.

"Spectrum break? What does that mean?" Lu Zhao frowned slightly, staring at the data jumping on the computer screen.

The signal coming from the direction of the laboratory, which was originally quite clear, is now like it has been violently torn apart, intermittent and without any pattern.

He tried adjusting the receiving frequency, but with little effect. The signal grew weaker and weaker, as if something was deliberately blocking their communication.

"The pendant... could it really be interfering with the lab equipment, as you said?" Lu Zhao muttered to himself, refocusing his attention on the data he had been analyzing.

The unusual fluctuations in the laboratory did indeed match the energy spectrum of the pendant that Su Wanqing carried with her.

The odds were so low that Lu Zhao couldn't ignore them.

The signal feedback values ​​in the laboratory area began to rise abnormally, and the originally stable data curve fluctuated violently like a roller coaster.

The changes happening inside the laboratory are still affecting the surrounding equipment, and these changes make Lu Zhao feel an indescribable anxiety.

"Will this...will this have any impact on those virus samples?"

He subconsciously thought of the extremely dangerous mutated viruses that the "poisonous spider" had mentioned.

If the energy interference from the accessory causes the virus sample to mutate, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Just as Lu Zhao was immersed in his analysis, the RV's computer system suddenly emitted a piercing alarm, and a striking red warning popped up on the screen: "The system has detected unidentified energy interference. In order to protect the safety of the RV, an emergency restriction procedure will be activated, and some remote monitoring permissions will be closed!"

"What?" Lu Zhao exclaimed in surprise, and hurriedly tried to stop the system from starting the restriction program.

He typed rapidly on the keyboard, inputting various commands, but to no avail.

The RV's computer system had completely malfunctioned, and he had lost remote monitoring access to the laboratory.

He was somewhat annoyed; this RV had been specially modified, and its computer system was supposed to have very strong defense capabilities.

Now, an emergency restriction procedure has been activated due to unknown energy interference, which is simply outrageous.

"Damn it!" Lu Zhao couldn't help but curse and punched the steering wheel hard.

Just then, Su Wanqing's voice came through the communicator: "Lu Zhao, the situation at the lab is bad, I have to evacuate immediately."

“I understand,” Lu Zhao said gravely. “The resonance of the pendant is posing a potential hazard to the laboratory system. You should leave as soon as possible.”

“I’m out now.” Su Wanqing’s voice sounded a little hurried. “But I’m worried that the virus samples in the lab might mutate.”

“Don’t worry,” Lu Zhao said. “I will do my best to analyze the data and find a solution.” He knew that the most important thing now was to ensure Su Wanqing’s safety, and the issue of the virus sample could only be put aside for the time being.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, an even stronger energy fluctuation suddenly struck, and the computer screen instantly turned into a snowy mess.

"What's going on?" Lu Zhao felt dizzy and immediately checked the computer system, only to find that the energy interference had intensified again, causing the computer system to completely crash.

"Damn it!" he cursed again, forced to watch helplessly as the screen went completely black.

Meanwhile, outside the laboratory, Xiao Ran was cautiously approaching a rebel action group.

He hoped to find some secret intelligence about the rebels to help them with their next move.

He hid behind a tree, observing the actions of the task force. The men, dressed in identical black uniforms and armed, warily scanned their surroundings.

Xiao Ran moved forward cautiously, trying to get closer. However, just as he was about to reach the action team, he accidentally stepped on a hidden signal trigger on the ground.

"Beep...beep...beep..." A piercing alarm suddenly sounded, breaking the surrounding tranquility.

"Intruders spotted!" a rebel soldier shouted.

Xiao Ran knew he had been exposed, so he quickly drew his weapon and opened fire on the action team.

Gunshots echoed in the silent night sky, and the rebel soldiers immediately retaliated.

With his rich combat experience, Xiao Ran skillfully dodged the enemy's attacks while constantly looking for cover.

"Damn it, we've been ambushed!" Xiao Ran cursed inwardly. He hadn't expected the rebels to set up such a meticulous ambush; it seemed they knew he was coming all along.

After a fierce firefight, Xiao Ran finally managed to escape.

However, he also suffered some minor injuries, with bullets from rebels hitting his arms and legs.

He staggered back to safety and checked his injuries.

Although the injury was not serious, the pain was still quite noticeable.

“These guys…” Xiao Ran cursed under his breath. He was now even more suspicious of the identity of this rebel group.

How did they know they were coming? And who are they?
He decided to go back and report this to Su Wanqing, hoping she could find out the true purpose of the rebels.

Inside the laboratory, Su Wanqing was vigilantly observing her surroundings.

She had just said goodbye to the "poisonous spider" and was preparing to leave as soon as possible.

"Miss Su, this way please," a rebel soldier said respectfully, leading her toward the laboratory exit.

"Thank you," Su Wanqing replied politely, but her heart was filled with vigilance.

She knew her situation was very dangerous and that she had to remain vigilant at all times to prevent any accidents from happening.

She has decided that as soon as she has the opportunity, she will leave this place immediately and bring the intelligence she has back to the base as soon as possible.

Lu Zhao's voice suddenly came through the communicator: "Su Wanqing, the situation is urgent. The laboratory signal is being interfered with, and I have lost my monitoring privileges over the laboratory."

"What?" Su Wanqing frowned deeply. "Lu Zhao, what exactly happened?"

"I suspect that the energy fluctuations of the pendant interfered with the laboratory equipment, causing the computer system to activate an emergency restriction program."

Lu Zhao said, "Leave there as soon as possible to avoid further exposure."

"I understand," Su Wanqing said. "I'm trying to figure out how to evacuate."

The pendant trembled slightly in her hand, as if foreshadowing something.

She felt her head throbbing more and more, as if something was eroding her consciousness.

"I must leave here as soon as possible!" Su Wanqing made up her mind and quickened her pace.

“Ms. Su, the instrument maintenance records show that the No. 3 refrigeration chamber experienced an abnormal temperature drop, plummeting to minus eighty degrees Celsius, which does not conform to standard operating procedures. Have you operated this chamber recently?” The Spider’s voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of pressure.

He walked up to Su Wanqing, stopped, and stared at her sharply.

Su Wanqing's heart tightened, but she tried her best to remain calm. "I just checked it according to the procedure; I didn't do anything special. Perhaps it's a problem with the equipment itself?"

"Equipment?" Poison Spider curled his lip, walked to the experimental table, and picked up a data report.

“This data shows that the cooling curve is not decreasing naturally, but rather exhibiting a pulsating fluctuation. This is very strange.” He paused, looked up, and his tone became more stern. “Ms. Su, I must remind you that this is a rebel base, and any violation must be dealt with strictly. If you are carrying unauthorized equipment or conducting research that does not comply with the agreement, the consequences will be unimaginable.”

Su Wanqing felt like she was trapped in a snare. The poisonous spider's words were implying that he suspected her of carrying some contraband.

She knew that if she couldn't get out of this predicament quickly, she might be in danger.

“Mr. Poison Spider, you’re overthinking it. I’m just a doctor. My job is to study viruses, find antidotes, and fight zombies. I know nothing about anything else.” Su Wanqing tried her best to make her voice sound sincere and earnest.

Just then, a piercing alarm suddenly sounded in the laboratory.

The red lights flickered incessantly, casting eerie shadows in the cramped space.

"Warning! Warning! Cooling system malfunction, cryogenic chamber enters emergency cooling mode! All personnel must evacuate immediately!"

The venomous spider frowned slightly. He turned to look at the control panel, his expression turning grim.

"Damn it, the cooling system has completely gone out of control! If it's not fixed soon, all the samples will be affected!"

Su Wanqing saw an opportunity. She quickly said, "Mr. Poison Spider, I might be able to offer some help. Our medical team has some cryopreservation medications on hand, which might be able to help stabilize the system and slow down the cooling process."

The venomous spider hesitated for a moment. "Your medicine? Will it work?"

“It’s worth a try,” Su Wanqing said confidently. “It’s better than doing nothing.”

The venomous spider finally nodded. "Alright, I'll allow you to try. However, you must do it under my supervision."

Su Wanqing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that as long as she could buy some time, she would have a chance to complete her plan.

Under the watchful eye of the venomous spider, Su Wanqing took out a small, exquisitely packaged bottle of liquid from her medical kit.

This is a virus sample she prepared beforehand. To facilitate concealed transport, she specifically chose a preservation method that is difficult to detect.

She pretended to carefully examine the ingredients of the medicine, then quietly hid it in an inconspicuous medical instrument box.

"These are rapid cooling agents that can immediately lower the temperature of the surrounding environment and may temporarily relieve the pressure on the cooling system."

Su Wanqing handed the instrument box containing the virus sample to a rebel soldier and asked him to place it near the cooling system.

"Remember to handle it carefully and avoid touching any samples," the venomous spider instructed.
