Chapter 72: Electrical Door Lock

Liu Gan searched the security guards’ bodies and found two police truncheons. He went to their work counter to search a bit, but he didn’t find anything useful, especially not a powerful weapon like a handgun.

It seemed in this world was similar to the real world where gun control was very strict. It seemed like the only place to obtain a gun or firearm would be to go to the police station or local army camp.

After searching for a little bit, Liu Gan and Jiang JinYuan once again stood in front of the metal door. Using the flashlight as light, he investigated and came up with the conclusion that the door was opened by swiping a card. But because there was no electricity, the card swiping system was unable to function, so the door remained in its shut and locked state.

“It looks like this place isn’t the location of the backup power source. It seems to be the place to store top secret materials. Why don’t we go up to the parking lot to look around?” Jiang JinYuan said to Liu Gan as he shined the flashlight around. It seemed like he was starting to regret coming down here.

“How can I when the treasures are almost within my grasp?” Liu Gan said in a very excited tone. Basement level 2, with its security clearance and the heavy-duty metal door, was almost too obvious that this was the typical setting for a secret area that was hidden away for treasured goods.

“Yeah, perhaps there might be valuable products behind that door, but this heavy-duty metal door won’t operate without electricity.” Jiang JinYuan scratched his head at this problem.

“Perhaps there’s a different method to open this heavy-duty metal door, and I still feel that the backup power reserve was behind this heavy-duty metal door. So after the power loss, this door automatically locked itself preventing any repair technicians from entering,” Liu Gan guessed.

“Since this heavy-duty metal door won’t open, we should go back upstairs to the parking lot to look around. We might find the electric generator room within the parking lot. Once we turn on the electricity, we can come back here to try again.” Jiang JinYuan suggested to Liu Gan.

Liu Gan definitely didn’t want to leave after getting this far, so he took two steps back. Then, he charged forward and with one large leap, he kicked the heavy-duty metal door. The metallic door just produced a loud ringing sound, but the kick wasn’t enough to knock it open.

Even though Liu Gan created such a loud noise, the location was very hidden. The additional hallways had doors to barricade the sound within, so the zombies upstairs wouldn’t hear the sound from below. Essentially, this place was sound-proof.

“The metal door is very thick, so relying on brute force won’t kick it open.” Jiang JinYuan shook his head.

“There is definitely another way to open this door,” said Liu Gan, refusing to give up as he looked again.

“Perhaps we can use my PDA as a power source to charge up the card swiping system. After wiring it up, we would still need an identification card, fingerprints, and iris authentication.” Jiang JinYuan said after checking out the electronic panel by the metal door.

“Identification card. Would this work?” Liu Gan recalled as he pulled out a card from deep within his backpack. It was one of the three identification cards that he obtained from the yellow-checkered shirt male and a female. He showed the picture to Jiang JinYuan.

“Yes, this is the correct identification card, but you are still missing the fingerprint and iris authentication. How about this? Let me try to connect the PDA to the electric panel that controls the doorlock to see if it will be enough to start up the panel.” Jiang JinYuan was very doubtful that it would open, but he knew that Liu Gan wouldn’t give up that easily. So Jiang JinYuan could only do his best to support Liu Gan, and in the meantime, Jiang JinYuan would investigate the panel by the metal door.

“Do you need to open up the exterior shell?” Liu Gan asked Jiang JinYuan.

“Yes, but there’s no appropriate tool.” Jiang JinYuan nodded.

Liu Gan pulled out metal pliers, screwdrivers, and other similar tools. Jiang JinYuan played with the panel and tools for a bit, but it was to no avail.

“First, I need to remove this outer shell, but these tools are not appropriate for that job.” Jiang JinYuan explained.
