Chapter 74: Vanish (2/2)
As Jiang JinYuan had said, after successfully breaking through the password’s first letter, the following twenty other digits were decrypted at an even faster speed. Every ten seconds or so, it was able to crack another digit. After a few minutes, the password was all filled and produced a ‘Ding!’ with the lights glowing green. It also requested the identity card notification.
After the identification card, it requested the fingerprint scanner and the iris authentication afterwards. Following the same procedure used on the previous door, all the authentication tests successfully passed. The metal door made an unlocking sound ‘Ka-Ching’. It was the sound of deadbolts retracting, and then a small crack appeared between the circular metal door and the ground.
“As I said before, the PDA can only give energy to the door lock, but it is unable to provide electricity for the mechanisms that moved the door. This metal door is even more difficult and heavier than the one before. This door doesn’t have the handle, so opening it manually seems impossible.” Jiang JinYuan felt the edges of the metal door as he said to Liu Gan.
“Not necessarily.” Liu Gan said as he jammed a crowbar into the crack between the door and the ground. Then with several bursts of strength, he would try to pry it loose, but the end result was only half a centimeter difference. In addition, the crowbar was starting to deform and bend. This metal door was definitely thicker and heavier than the last one. Normally the door was supposed to slide open smoothly, but right now it was not smooth at all. Without the support of electricity, normal tools would have a hard time pushing it open.
Luckily Liu Gan’s strength had increased many times, so if it didn’t work the first time, he would attempt it again. Prying open the metal door wasn’t a hard task to him, as it was only a question of when he could get it open.
After continuously prying open the metal door several centimeters, Liu Gan shined his flashlight down inside. He discovered that it was another room—a very dark room that didn’t seem like there were anything alive inside. Liu Gan shouted a few times and didn’t hear a response from within.
Previously with the probing instrument, the result was that there were no humans or zombies. Only the unknown organism existed there as indicated by the yellow dot on the PDA monitor that laid ten meters below ground.
Once again, Liu Gan used his brute strength to pry open the door further, and he combined both of hands pushing open the door while his legs balanced his weight. After ten minutes of this continuous effort, the metal door opened up a passageway of ten centimeters. It was enough for a person to slide down into the passage.
If it was the old Liu Gan, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to pry open the sliding metal door. Only after he reached level 5, did his immense strength play an important role.
Liu Gan looked at the time and then told Jiang JinYuan to probe the chamber below. However this time, the yellow dot mysteriously disappeared from the monitor!
“What happened? Why would the yellow dot vanish? Is the probing instrument faulty?” Liu Gan raised his eyebrow as he asked Jiang JinYuan.
“The probing device shouldn’t have any problems.” Jiang JinYuan said in a questioning tone.
“Then why was the scan result different from before?” Liu Gan asked Jiang JinYuan.
“I don’t know, in fact… I don’t feel comfortable with everything that’s happened so far. If we go down, I feel like we might be in danger. How about we not go down?” Jiang JinYuan said with a horrific expression.
It was unbearably dark in this underground chamber. The heart of darkness was like entering the mouth of a demon, which was ready to swallow any wayward adventurer.
