Chapter 158 Cracking Attempt
Xiao Ran looked up, his hand gripping the handle of his helmet. He hadn't spoken when he entered; he quickly put down his weapon and wiped his sweat with a rag.

"Those guys outside the main gate were carrying a piece of equipment I'd never seen before. It was about the size of a box, with a silver-gray casing and three folded antennas attached to the side. Someone was calibrating it with red and blue lights from behind."

Su Wanqing stared at the screen without looking up, turning to the latest page of her current homework record.

"It matches the microwave signal data we just picked up?"

"Pretty much, the data jitters with every step they take. The formation advances in a fan shape, and the leader is carrying a bunch of those boxes, probably to find the signal for the pendant."

Xiao Ran patted the cloth bag and whispered, "It can also be wirelessly linked inside. Just now, when that team's light flickered, the main channel signal became even more chaotic."

Lu Zhao looked up from the other end of the passage and handed the terminal to Su Wanqing.

"The signal vector drift is obvious, and directional peaks appear every once in a while, which are basically consistent with the main frequency of the pendant. This tracking device is probably set according to the data stream of the pendant."

Su Wanqing nodded, staring at the fluctuating data, and told Lu Zhao to stop.

"Can you confirm that the pendant itself can be located?"

Lu Zhao pointed to the algorithm model at the top of the screen, his tone expressionless.

"The matching rate is over 95%. The only difference between the protocol and the widget we have is the checksum. The embedded module should also be able to change the pitch in real time." He paused, then amplified a recorded interference signal. "The initial frequency hopping value of the tracking device coincides with the reference bandwidth of the widget."

While adjusting the various small modules in his backpack, Lin Che asked him, "Do you have any ideas?"

"Yes, we need to switch the signal band of the mount to the non-standard area. Since the rebel equipment comes with synchronized mounts, as long as the frequency changes, they will have to spend time slowly relocking."

Without hesitation, Lu Zhao pulled out the debugging interface cable of the accessory and removed a section of the old motherboard microchip. "The simulation environment is ready. I'll first sample the signals they commonly use and make a corresponding obfuscation group."

Xiao Ran looked at the sliver of light outside the gate, his voice even lower than before.

"The commotion over there is getting louder, hurry up."

Lin Che installed the hydroelectric battery into the auxiliary unit, then bit his lip as he operated it, "I can use my superpower to send a false feedback to the main signal. Once the interference wave group comes online, they should think the target has moved."

Su Wanqing was still worried, so she pushed the device closer and inserted a backup key. "Lin Che, keep all data stream logs here to ensure that the logic is not lost."

Lu Zhao noticed this, withdrew his right hand, and said, "Okay, I have already recorded the simulated tracking signal on the left side of the main interface of the pendant, and will import it in batches in real time."

The surface of the pendant was slightly warm, and the data cursor moved around on the device.

While transmitting data, Lu Zhao disassembled the box and connected the original fitted signal module and the newly inserted interference chip together.

On the other side, Lin Che had already begun activating the auxiliary resonator device, "Switching the main frequency, reversing to the new band within fifty seconds."

"The pendant is reacting?" Su Wanqing stared intently at the monitoring table.

“The external current is rising, but the temperature is still within the safe range.” Lu Zhao was ready to cut it off at any time. “The data stream is not out of control, it’s just that the command response is a bit slow.”

At this moment, Xiao Ran walked in through the side door, carrying a short knife. He frowned and took out a pocket-sized recording card. "The team outside is in the handover phase. They seem to have received a notification about the new frequency band. The guy who looks like the leader changed the equipment calibration method, but it seems they haven't found the synchronization signal for the accessory yet."

Lin Che placed the prepared fake signal transmitter on a small platform next to the pipe and aimed the main control coil at the ceiling vent. "The transmission point is set up here. The external frequency and the main frequency of the device are only half a bandwidth apart, so high-level monitoring can't distinguish between the real and fake signals."

Lu Zhao used the equipment to track the false signals in real time. A broken line jumped on the secondary screen. He said, "The frequency response is effective. Two people from the tracking team turned around and left their posts. They were led to the north side of the passage."

Xiao Ran marked the newly observed route on the equipment diagram, then whispered to Su Wanqing, "Once we've completed all the preparations here, the rest of them will inevitably split up again."

Su Wanqing copied down each real-time change in band number and interference effect into her notebook. "Lu Zhao, how long will the new band last?"

"In theory, the adaptive algorithm can hold up for up to twenty minutes. Once the local load reaches its limit, I will reduce the frequency immediately."

While monitoring, Lu Zhao adjusted the parameters and included backup obfuscated nodes in the sequence.

Lin Che adjusted the transmitter and continued to update the jamming scheme, his voice somewhat hoarse: "The first time we released the false source, there were fluctuations. After thirty seconds, we increased it to full speed. The infected creatures were basically unresponsive, but the feedback from that main frequency tracker increased."

Su Wanqing took out a spare recorder. "I'll record the whole thing. If there's any abnormality in the data from the pendant, stop it immediately." On the other side of the equipment table, the girl with the childlike voice huddled in the chair, her eyes slightly red, and her breathing noticeably short.

She was holding a blanket tightly in her hands, her fingertips turning white.

“Something’s not right.” Lu Zhao gestured with his chin toward Lin Che while processing the data. “She’s slow to react. She mentioned feeling unwell from the low temperature before, and now she can’t even open her eyes.”

Lin Che quickly went over and turned down the signal strength. "The interference from the pendant is too strong, and it will definitely have a multiplied effect on her."

Su Wanqing looked at the girl, "Are you alright? Do you want to rest?"

The girl swayed slightly, her voice faint: "I'm dizzy, and I can hear... something's going wrong in my ears."

Lu Zhao put down his tools, took out the emergency sedative, checked the instructions again to confirm the dosage, and then injected it into the girl's muscle. "Seduce her temporarily. You don't need to talk or move now."

Xiao Ran copied the remaining backup papers and put them into an isolation bag. "The experiment will be paused for now. The main equipment and master data have been backed up."

Lin Che temporarily lowered all frequency bands to the lowest level and said, "Restore to the default signal. I'll raise the false transmission point for another ten seconds to give the rebels enough of a false impression before stopping."

The girl slowly loosened her grip on the blanket, lowered her head against the sofa, and her face turned pale.

After confirming that her pulse and breathing were stable, Lu Zhao said to Su Wanqing, "Adjusting the frequency band is risky, and the girl's tolerance is limited. Let's not do any more large-scale experiments."

Su Wanqing remained silent, only gently wiping the girl's forehead with a clean gauze.

She tidied up the wires and clutter on the lab bench. "The experiment is to be suspended immediately. Put away the pendant; prevent any further data leaks. All extreme tests from now on will not involve the girl."

Lin Che locked the remaining energy of the false signal point. "Half of the tracking team's signal has been distorted, and the main control group is still going around in circles in the ventilation shaft in the south area."

Lu Zhao reset the main frequency of the widget to zero again and disconnected all interfaces.

The equipment status was restored to physical isolation mode. He glanced at the time segmentation table in the hall and said, word by word, "The external tracking equipment will not lock onto our origin point for a short period of time. The rebels' accuracy has dropped to the margin zone."

Su Wanqing tapped the notebook and shifted her focus to the daily protection procedures.

"Check the girl's condition every fifteen minutes, and add another set of backup medication. I'll keep an eye on the changes in the wavelength."

After completing the final step of the search, Lin Che isolated and archived all the abnormal signal feedback tables.

The room quieted down, with only the faint echoes of the equipment and the occasional hum of the program remaining.

Xiao Ran slung his weapon back over his shoulder, took the updated reconnaissance data, and walked to the door, combining the passage movement and signal disturbance map.

"The rebels will take two more steps to take control, but their main force has been misled by your plan. We have a little over three minutes left to use."

Su Wanqing nodded briefly and assigned tasks to everyone. She sealed the pendant in an isolation jar, labeled it with a code, and then locked the jar in her backpack.

The data record book on the lab bench was quickly closed after being tidied up.

The kid was sitting on the sofa, his eyelids still drooping, almost falling asleep.

After checking the veins, Lu Zhao put the remaining sedatives and emergency kit into a small box and handed it to Su Wanqing.

"Only the minimum amount of intervention should be retained, and the girl's condition must be the priority."

After tidying up the control panel, Lin Che locked all the data backups.

He didn't say a word, quietly following behind Su Wanqing until all the experimental operations were stopped, and then he checked the team's next evacuation route again.

Xiao Ran waited for a while on the other side. "The north side wells are all arranged. As long as the other side misjudges the tracking and stops for a little longer, we can get out of here unscathed this time."

Su Wanqing flipped through a page of her notebook without wasting a minute. She wrote down each adjustment in order, collected them into a dedicated archive, and then checked them word by word against the band detail checklist.
