Chapter 392 Infrasound
To her surprise, there wasn't anything shocking in the crate. There was only a file. A surprised
Katherine met Joaquin's gaze.
Joaquin pursed his lips. "Open it up." For some reason, he had a feeling the content of this file was
crucial. It could probably turn this world on its head.
Katherine realized that as well. Her hand started to sweat as she opened the file. And her heart started
to race, but she gulped and calmed herself down. Then she opened the file and took a document out.
What she saw made her freeze. The title read, 'Infrasound Weapon.' "This is…" She blinked in disbelief
and stared at the title a few more times. "This is a top-secret file. I can't believe Grandpa kept it here."
Joaquin saw it as well, and his face fell. He did not expect this. "No wonder he kept this in a place so
secret and put us through a few hoops. This is the file for an ultimate weapon. If this gets out, the
consequences are disastrous."
Katherine had no idea about how weapons worked, but judging from what her grandfather did and
Joaquin's reaction, it must be serious. She stared at the title again and handed the file to him. "You
should read it."
Joaquin shook his head. He didn't take it. "This is your grandfather's research. You should be the first
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto read it. And Area Seven does have research on this weapon."
Curious, Katherine asked, "What is this? Is it that serious? Does it bring a lot of harm?"
Joaquin nodded solemnly. "Yes. If it's used, it'll bring about a horrible ending. Infrasound weapons rely
on sounds lower than 20 Hertz. We can fire attacks that have sounds lower than that. Perfect for an
ambush. It can be fired from a long distance, can pierce through a lot of things, and it doesn't pollute
anything."
Katherine didn't really know what he was talking about, but that piqued her interest more. "That's
awesome."
"Yeah. Infrasound weapons can be split into two types. One targets the nervous system, disrupting its
function and ruining the target's health. Death at worst. The other targets the organs. Infrasound's
vibration is about the same as human organs. It can evoke resonance and change the organs' position
or shape. At worst, destroying them and killing the target."
Katherine's eyes went wide. "That's… serious." No wonder Grandpa kept this a secret from all of us. If
someone were to take it, it'd be bad. Really bad. "I had no idea Grandpa actually made something like
this. Didn't know he was a weapons master."
Joaquin pursed his lips, feeling nothing but respect for Katherine's grandfather. "We've made this
weapon. Your grandfather's research is probably related to a newer model or a powered-up version."
Katherine flipped the file open and started reading. There was a lot of jargon she didn't understand, but
she got the gist of the content, and she realized this file was priceless.
"No wonder those people wouldn't stop harassing Grandma so they could get this. They probably knew
my Grandpa was making this, so they wanted to see what he made." Katherine started looking solemn,
and she frowned. The thought that this file falling into the wrong hands made her shudder. "Good thing
we didn't dawdle around. Who knows what might have happened if we came even that bit later?" She
looked at the document and tucked it back into the file, then she looked at the crate. "We should put
this back."
Surprised, Joaquin asked, "We aren't taking it away?"
"We're taking the file away, but not the crate. If someone were to come, we can at least lead them on a
wild goose chase. Maybe they'd give up if they find out there is nothing in this crate. Maybe they'll think
Grandpa came up with nothing." She handed the file to Joaquin and said seriously, "This is too
important for me to keep. You should hand this to Area Seven."
Joaquin was surprised she made that decision right away. "Are you sure? This is your grandfather's
work."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThere was determination in Katherine's eyes, and she said, "Yeah. He spent his whole life making this
and made sure to keep it under layers of secrecy. He must not want anyone to take it. He'd always
been a righteous guy. I bet he'd do this if he was still alive. Only by giving this to the government can it
be used correctly. That's what he would want."
Joaquin listened, and he smiled. "You're determined. Fine, I'll take this. Once we get back, I'll tell
Jeremy to take this to Area Seven."
Katherine shook her head. "No. You're doing it yourself. I don't want anyone else to do it. I can't trust
them."
"And you can trust me?" Joaquin cocked his eyebrow.
Katherine shot him a look that said, 'Duh.'
"Very well." Joaquin stopped teasing her, and he nodded. This was serious, after all. "I'm going back
then. Are you coming with me?"
Katherine gave it some thought and said no. "You go back. I miss Grandma, and I want to see her. And
I can tell Grandpa what happened too."
Joaquin let her do what she wanted. "Sure. You stay here. Come back when you want to. Noah and I
will be waiting for you."
That settled it. Once they left the ancestral hall and returned to Silver Gardens, Joaquin and Jeremy
immediately set off for Hovington.
