Chapter 33 - Opening the Door

Due to the highly realistic simulation of this game, everyone actually has hidden Health Values and Physical Strength.

To recover, corresponding medicines and rest are needed, and if a player logs off, there will be no recovery in the game character’s Physical Strength and Health Value when they log back on.

Moreover, it would keep decreasing until one can imagine the final result.

This was also the reason why Su Mo and his team were hiding here to rest and were unwilling to log off.

It was a silent night, and as dawn began to break, Su Mo opened his eyes and got up.

Lan Xi and others greeted Su Mo with a somewhat listless spirit.

“You’re awake.”

Deep down, they actually admired Su Mo.

The previous night was so hectic outside that they thought the monsters were going to attack.

They were so tense they couldn’t rest at all.

On the other hand, Su Mo didn’t react at all and slept very soundly.

“Let’s go.”

Su Mo drew out his Tang Sword and said indifferently.

“Okay.”

Sun Duoxiang and the others immediately perked up and quickly shouldered their backpacks.

Su Mo opened the door, cautiously surveyed the outside, and after making sure there was no danger, sneaked out with Lan Xi and six others following closely behind him.

The seven of them moved swiftly through various alleys like rats.

Honestly, Su Mo really enjoyed operating within these small cities, with their cluttered buildings and numerous alleys.

For someone with a memory akin to photographic recall, this was a significant advantage.

It must be said, this time, Su Mo and his team were very lucky, as they didn’t encounter any formidable monsters along the way.

By near noon, Su Mo and his team finally reached their destination.

“Boss, is this the building we are supposed to explore?”

Sun Duoxiang looked at the unremarkable building in front of him, also baffled.

“That’s right, spread out and look for an entrance.”

Su Mo lifted his hand and waved it coldly.

Lan Xi and the others immediately dispersed and began searching meticulously for the entrance.

After a short while, Su Mo and his team regrouped.

Sun Duoxiang, scratching his head in annoyance, said, “It’s bizarre, this building doesn’t even have a window, nor did I see any ventilation ducts, just four steel gates.

What kind of building is this exactly?”

“Yeah!

I also checked just now.

The walls of this building are super thick, and even the floor is reinforced.”

Lan Xi also expressed her doubts.

“This is a special reserve depot, and it’s very likely military-grade,” Su Mo responded simply.

Upon hearing this, Lan Xi and the others’ hearts involuntarily began to race, but they asked with some concern.

“So, how do we get in?”

“Through the main gate.”

Su Mo led Lan Xi and the others to the depot’s main gate, which was a seemingly very sturdy barred gate.

There was a keypad on the right side of the door.

“It seems like we need to crack the password lock,” they said curiously as they gathered around the keypad.

“How do we crack this thing?”

Zhang Hao and the others were completely clueless.

“Don’t know, huh?

Heh, it comes down to me in critical times,”

Sun Duoxiang stepped forward, volunteering himself.

“You sure?”

Lan Xi looked at Sun Duoxiang somewhat skeptically.

“Look who’s talking, don’t underestimate me.

We are all trained; watch how I impress you guys.”

After speaking, Sun Duoxiang took out a spray bottle from his backpack and sprayed it on the buttons of the combination lock.

And sure enough, six out of the nine buttons on the lock soon revealed fingerprints.

“The code is these six digits, but the tricky part is figuring out the order of the combination.

Moreover, keep in mind that this type of lock generally allows only two incorrect attempts.

If it’s wrong a third time, it will completely lock up.”

Sun Duoxiang explained to everyone with authority, sporting a look of great challenge.

At this point, Su Mo suddenly interjected.

“Even if you crack it, it’s useless because there’s no electricity.”

Upon hearing Su Mo’s words, Sun Duoxiang’s expression turned as spectacular as they come, resembling a mute tasting bitter medicine, but he quickly adopted his shameless spirit.

“Big brother is mighty, hitting the nail on the head.

So what do we do now?

My earlier performance was nothing but a circus act in front of you.”

“This type of lock has a mechanical emergency switch.”

Su Mo replied indifferently.

“But we’ve already searched thoroughly just now, and found nothing.”

“It’s here.”

Su Mo forcefully lifted the cover of the lock, revealing a hidden emergency mechanical handle. Searᴄh the Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

“Damn!

It’s settled!”

Sun Duoxiang and the others shouted excitedly.

Su Mo forcefully pulled the emergency handle.

Clack!

A loud sound of the door locking echoed, but the massive door remained immovable.

“Big brother, the door isn’t responding, could it be that the emergency handle is broken?”

After waiting a while and seeing no movement from the door, Sun Duoxiang and the others expressed their confusion.

Su Mo didn’t answer them; instead, he walked around in front of the gate, then squatted down, pointing at the bottom of the gate.

“The emergency handle can only lock it.

To open this door, it needs physical strength.

Look closely at the bottom of the gate; there are handles welded onto it, ten in total.”

“Are you saying the seven of us need to lift this door?

Big brother, are you kidding?

This door is super heavy, it must weigh at least a ton.”

All of Sun Duoxiang’s group were taken aback.

Just the seven of them?

“You’re wrong; not seven people, but six.

Because one of us needs to roll in while we lift it.

And this isn’t a fairy tale.

An ordinary person, after professional training, can lift 200-400 pounds.

Although you’re not up to standard physically, if you try hard, there’s still a chance you can lift it a bit.”

Su Mo explained the situation roughly.

“Alright, so who’s going in?”

Although Sun Duoxiang and the others felt it was far-fetched, they seemed to have no better option.

“This is a no-brainer; naturally, Lan Xi should go in.

She’s comparatively smaller and also the weakest among us.”

As Su Mo spoke, he began to take off his shirt.

“Ahem, big brother, you could just say it; there’s no need to remove your clothes, it looks a bit inappropriate.

If you’re overheated, later I can help you find a few…”

Seeing Su Mo undressing, Sun Duoxiang’s thoughts instinctively went astray.

Su Mo gave him a cold look, as if gazing at an idiot.

Once he took off his shirt, Su Mo’s abdomen revealed eight solid abs, his seemingly frail body was all muscle, each muscle brimming with explosive power.

Since childhood, Su Mo’s body had differed from ordinary people.

Although he experienced delayed physical development, and his organs were not up to standards, as he aged, his body seemed to be fully activated, and his stats skyrocketed, granting him superhuman strength, speed, reaction, memory, and the ability to excel at whatever he did.

As a result, Su Mo’s grandfather sought out many masters to train him comprehensively.

However, the talents Su Mo displayed grew ever more astounding.

No matter what he learned, he completed his apprenticeship in less than a year, always surpassing his teachers.
