Chapter 92: Abnormal Movements of Infected Body
Su Wanqing dragged Lin Che along, almost forcing them to run through the narrow passage.

Lin Che's body continued to twitch uncontrollably, and every twitch seemed to tear him apart.

Ye's voice surged into Lin Che's mind like a tide, and Su Wanqing could feel his inner struggle.

"Lu Zhao, Xiao Ran, what's the situation?" Su Wanqing asked breathlessly.

Lu Zhao's voice came through the communicator, with a hint of anxiety.

"The infected are moving towards us at an accelerated rate, and their numbers are increasing. They are no longer wandering aimlessly as before, but are now advancing in an organized manner."

"Is there an organization?" Su Wanqing's heart tightened.

"That's right. It's like someone is directing them and guiding them." Lu Zhao replied.

"Where is Xiao Ran?" Su Wanqing asked again.

"I'm trying to bypass the defense layer and find an observation point. These guys... are becoming more and more weird." Xiao Ran's voice was low and hoarse.

Su Wanqing looked around. On both sides of the passage were cold metal walls, occasionally flashing a faint red light.

They are being compressed layer by layer, and their space for movement is getting smaller and smaller.

"Che, hold on!" Su Wanqing looked at the pale-faced Lin Che and couldn't help but hold his hand tightly.

Lin Che's lips trembled slightly. He took a deep breath, as if trying his best to resist Ye's control.

"Su Wanqing...they...they are driving us to...the upper area..."

"The upper area?" Su Wanqing asked puzzledly.

“That’s right…there…there’s a closed defense layer…and…and it’s very narrow…” Lin Che’s voice grew weaker and weaker.

"Defense layer?" Lu Zhao's voice suddenly raised a pitch.

"Oh no! Those infected bodies are being concentrated and directed to the upper defense layer! This... this means that their range of action is being artificially narrowed. We are being strategically encircled!"

"What? Who would do this?" Su Wanqing asked.

"I don't know. But what is certain now is that we can't stay here any longer and must leave the quarantine area as soon as possible." Lu Zhao replied.

"But leaving now means we give up the opportunity to find out the truth," said Su Wanqing.

"The truth? The most important thing now is survival!" Xiao Ran's voice interrupted her.

"We must ensure our own safety before we can continue the investigation."

Su Wanqing was silent. She knew Xiao Ran was right, but she was unwilling to give up.

"Wait." Professor Yang's voice suddenly sounded, breaking the silence.

"I... I decoded a piece of surveillance data... and it's preliminarily confirmed... that the infected are being controlled via some kind of high-frequency signal... and the source of the signal may be located in the quarantine zone's central laboratory."

"High-frequency signal?" There was a hint of excitement in Lu Zhao's voice.

"This means someone is remotely controlling these infected bodies!"

"I need more time to fully decode this data."

Professor Yang said, "But based on the information currently available, the signal source is very powerful and very stable. It seems there's a dedicated device transmitting the signal continuously."

"The central laboratory...that is the most core area and also the most heavily guarded place." Xiao Ran said.

"We must go." Su Wanqing said.

"Su Wanqing, are you crazy? That place is heavily guarded, how can we get in?" Xiao Ran retorted.

"We have no choice. If we can find the source of the signal, we can disrupt control of the infected, and perhaps even find the mastermind behind this disaster."

Su Wanqing said. Lu Zhao was silent for a while and said, "I found a remote command script buried in the base system.

This script shows that the infected entity carried out a test mission, and the test target... is highly consistent with our location."

"Test mission?" Su Wanqing asked.

"That's right. They seem to be deliberately observing our actions, collecting our data, and then adjusting the behavior of the infected based on our actions." Lu Zhao replied.

"This is simply...disgusting!" Xiao Ran roared.

"We must stop them." Su Wanqing said.

"Wait a minute," Xiao Ran said suddenly. "Destroying the wireless signal device in the quarantine zone and disrupting the control link... might be a viable solution."

"The operational risk is too high," Lu Zhao said. "The wireless signal device is likely programmed to self-destruct. If destroyed, the entire quarantine zone could be destroyed."

"But if we don't take action, we will all end up being their experimental subjects," Xiao Ran retorted.

Su Wanqing was silent. She knew Xiao Ran's proposal was extremely risky, but if they didn't take action, they would face an even more dangerous situation.

"Let's put this plan aside for now," Su Wanqing said. "The most important thing now is to find the source of the signal and completely destroy it.

Lu Zhao, can you use your technology to track the location of the signal source?"

"I'll try," Lu Zhao replied. "But the signal source is likely disguised, making it very difficult to track."

At this moment, Xiao Ran suddenly frowned and looked at Lin Che with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Ye... You've been harboring ulterior motives and haven't told the truth yet. What are you doing? Are you sure you're helping us?"

Lin Che's body trembled violently, his eyes were empty, as if he had lost his soul.

"I...I don't know...I...I just want to protect everyone..."

"Protect everyone? You are more like a puppet now! You are controlled by Ye, and you can't make your own judgment at all!" Xiao Ran roared.

"Shut up!" Ye's voice came out from Lin Che's mouth, with a hint of coldness.

"Rather than doubting each other's right and wrong, finding the source of the signal control is the only way to resolve this situation. Your quarrel is just a waste of time."

Xiao Ran's face turned ashen, and he stared at Lin Che intently, as if he would pounce on her at any moment.

"Xiao Ran, calm down!" Su Wanqing shouted. "Now is not the time to argue!"

Xiao Ran took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in his heart. "I just think... Ye is suspicious. We must always be vigilant against him!"

Ye's voice said coldly: "If you think I am suspicious, you can abandon me at any time. But don't forget, now only I can help you find the source of the virus."

"Hmph." Xiao Ran snorted and said nothing more.

Su Wanqing looked at the tense atmosphere among the crowd and felt a little uneasy.

The crisis of trust between them is intensifying. If it is not resolved in time, they will not be able to face the current crisis together.

"Lu Zhao, what about the location of the signal source?" Su Wanqing asked, trying to change the subject.

"Still tracking... The location of the signal source keeps changing, it seems someone is actively moving it." Lu Zhao replied.

"Speed ​​up!" Su Wanqing said. "We don't have time."

"Okay." Lu Zhao replied.

Lin Che's body was still trembling, his eyes filled with pain and despair.

Su Wanqing held his hand tightly, trying to give him some comfort.
