Destiny Mission of game ‘Star Ring’
Chapter 191 - 191 191 The Gate One More Update

191: Chapter 191: The Gate (One More Update) 191: Chapter 191: The Gate (One More Update) Su Mo and his team walked cautiously inside, but after they hadn’t gone far, a thick liquid began to drip onto them from time to time.

“What the hell is this stuff?”

Sun Duoxiang looked up, and under night vision mode, he could clearly see the metal ceiling above, stained with many patches of an unknown substance, dripping from time to time, forming the sticky mess on the floor.

“Not sure, but it can be confirmed there’s no threat, so don’t get distracted,”

Su Mo reminded them indifferently.

“Got it, boss, but speaking of which, isn’t this tunnel a bit too long?

This base feels kind of different from the normal ones.”

Sun Duoxiang immediately refocused, although he still felt a bit uneasy.

Su Mo did not respond to Sun Duoxiang’s remark, instead, he was highly vigilant, keeping an eye on their surroundings without the protection of mechanical armor.

A sneak attack by a slightly stronger monster could be overwhelming, even with second-generation mechanical armor, and bad luck could lead to an instant kill.

Seeing that Su Mo did not reply, Sun Duoxiang also hurriedly shut up, fearing he would disturb Su Mo.

Time passed by slowly, and finally, Su Mo and his team reached the end.

The scene suddenly opened up before them, and they couldn’t help but stop in their tracks, all showing shocked expressions.

They saw a towering, solid, and slightly whitened metallic sealed door in front of them.

It looked similar to a bank vault door, with a round valve switch in the center.

As they got here, Su Mo and his team clearly felt a significant drop in temperature.

Lan Xi said with confusion, “Why has the temperature dropped so much?”

“This sealed door is so cold,”

Zhang Hao said in awe as he touched it with his hand.

“Really?

Oh man, it really is!

There’s not going to be a freezer behind this, right?”

Sun Duoxiang also reached out to touch it, disbelieving, and got a shock as well.

It was indeed very cold.

This was despite the fact that it was only the sensation transmitted through the mechanical armor’s temperature touch sensor, not even a direct touch.

“I feel the same,”

Ma Ke agreed.

Su Mo said in a deep voice, “Stop talking nonsense and try to see if it can be opened.”

“Alright!

Leave it to me!”

Sun Duoxiang volunteered eagerly and went up to turn the round valve switch, but despite using all his strength, he couldn’t budge it.

Zhang Hao and Ma Ke also reached out to help when they saw the situation!

All three exerted force at once!

Ah~

Their faces turned red with strain, but sadly, it had no effect at all, and in the end, they had to give up and say,

“It’s no use, boss, we can’t open it.”

After carefully observing, Su Mo noticed there was a very special cross-shaped keyhole and a rotating mechanical combination lock, similar to a safe’s security device, next to the door.

Considering that Sun Duoxiang and the others could not turn it, the door must be locked, so he responded lightly.

“I understand.”

“So, what do we do now, boss?”

“We need to pick the lock,”

Su Mo extended his hand, pointing to the keyhole and mechanical combination lock.

“How, how do we pick this?

Plus, it’s not an electronic lock, how do we crack it?”

Sun Duoxiang immediately started to worry, as such locks were the hardest to open, and even an expert might be useless.

Su Mo also felt it was quite tricky, studying the lock and keyhole closely.

Unfortunately, the more he studied, the more troubled his expression became.

If the combination lock might be cracked with some probability, then the mechanical keyhole was truly fatal, for they had no key at all.

He touched his chin, lost in thought.

Lan Xi and the others looked at Su Mo with eyes filled with expectation, truly believing he was capable of everything.

An hour later.

Su Mo and the other four sat on the grass outside the base, their faces etched with anxiety.

Unfortunately, they were completely at a loss with that lock.

“Boss, if the gentle approach doesn’t work, let’s just use force.

We could blow the door open with a bomb,” Sun Duoxiang suggested fiercely.

Su Mo replied calmly, “No need to dream, if it were another base there might be some chance, but not this base.

Haven’t you noticed that this base is specially constructed?

All metal barriers are thickened, especially that partition door.

I have observed it, whatever you try to use for blasting won’t work.

Unless…”

“Unless what?”

Everyone crowded in curiously.

“Unless we use a tactical nuclear bomb.”

“Tsk…”

Speechless, everyone fell silent.

“Then I have no other ideas.” Su Mo also couldn’t think of a better way.

“So what do we do, are we really just going to give up?” Sun Duoxiang said with a worried frown.

Su Mo took out a bottle of mineral water and silently drank, feeling exceptionally irritable.

But there was no choice, he had tried every possible method, but that lock simply wouldn’t open.

Seeing that Su Mo didn’t say anything, Sun Duoxiang was about to ask again when Lan Xi elbowed him, signaling him not to disturb Su Mo.

Sun Duoxiang immediately shut his mouth.

Su Mo’s mind continuously replayed the image of that mechanical lock.

Perhaps the password could be cracked by turning it and listening to the sound of the internal mechanical parts, but the key was more troublesome.

The key was a special cruciform shape, which meant that the corresponding mechanical key was a special cruciform key.

At this thought, Su Mo’s expression suddenly changed slightly as an image flashed through his mind.

The mutant monster, Dan Dan, that had nearly killed them before, seemed to have been wearing a special cruciform key around its neck.

Wait a minute, that city wasn’t far from here, and if he remembered correctly, Dan Dan’s grandfather in the photo did seem like a very knowledgeable person.

It was indeed very possible that he was a researcher at this biochemical laboratory.

With this in mind, Su Mo suddenly stood up.

“Big brother, what’s wrong?

If it won’t open, we’ll think of something else, don’t rush,” said Sun Duoxiang, as he and the others were startled by Su Mo’s reaction.

“You all wait here for me, I’ll be back soon,” Su Mo said and then immediately climbed onto his Mecha and controlled the Black Steel Envoy to leave.

The bewildered Sun Duoxiang and the others were left behind but still had trust in Su Mo.

Since Su Mo asked them to wait, they obediently waited there.

After a long while, Su Mo piloted the Black Steel Envoy back to the fallen city.

As usual, a multitude of zombies roamed everywhere.

Hearing the noise, they were attracted and charged frantically towards Su Mo.

Unfortunately for them, Su Mo simply ignored the zombies.

The heavy Black Steel Envoy Mecha was like a bulldozer, crushing straight over them, squashing them into a pulp with every step.

Of course, the zombies weren’t completely useless, at least they managed to dirty the exterior of the Black Steel Apostle’s armor.

Guided by memory, Su Mo headed towards the direction where Dan Dan had previously chased them.

Although so much time had passed, it was still very likely that she was active in that area.

Now Su Mo wasn’t worried about the problem of finding her, as long as she was still in this city, finding her was only a matter of time.

The biggest fear was that she had been killed by other players, and someone else had taken the item away.

Then, there would be nothing he could do.
