False Court

Chapter 33 Opening the Door

This game simulates reality so realistically that each person's body has hidden health and stamina stats. To recover, you need to use the right medicine and rest. If players log off, their characters' stamina and health won't recover at all when they log back in.

That's why Su Mo and the others were willing to hide here and rest, rather than log off.

The night passed without incident. When dawn broke, Su Mo opened his eyes and got up.

Lan Xi and the others, looking a little listless, greeted Su Mo.

"You're awake."

They admired Su Mo from the bottom of their hearts. Last night, it was so noisy outside that they thought the monsters were coming to kill them. They were so nervous that they couldn't rest at all. On the other hand, Su Mo didn't react at all and rested so peacefully.

"Let's go."

Su Mo drew his Tang sword and said calmly.

"Okay."

Sun Duo Xiang and the others immediately perked up and quickly put on their backpacks.

Su Mo opened the door, cautiously observed the outside, and after confirming that there was no danger, slipped out. Lan Xi and the six others followed closely behind.

The seven of them scurried through the alleys like rats.

To be honest, Su Mo enjoyed operating in these small cities. The buildings were cluttered, and the alleys were interconnected. It was advantageous for someone like him, who had a near-photographic memory.

It must be said that Su Mo and his group were very lucky this time. They didn't encounter any powerful monsters along the way.

Near noon, Su Mo and the others finally reached their destination.

"Boss, is this the building we're going to explore?"

Sun Duo Xiang looked at the unremarkable building in front of him, looking dumbfounded.

"That's right. Spread out and look for an entrance."

Su Mo raised his hand and waved dismissively.

Lan Xi and the others immediately dispersed to carefully search for the entrance.

After a while, Su Mo and the others gathered together again. Sun Duo Xiang scratched his head and said with a headache, "This is crazy. This building doesn't even have a window, and I didn't see any ventilation ducts, just four steel gates. What kind of building is this?"

"That's right! I checked just now, and the walls of this building are super thick, and even the ground is reinforced," Lan Xi said, voicing her questions.

"This is a special storage depot, and it's very likely to be military-grade."

Su Mo replied simply.

When Lan Xi and the others heard this, their hearts couldn't help but beat faster, but they asked with some concern, "Then how do we get in?"

"Through the main entrance."

Su Mo led Lan Xi and the others to the front of the storage depot. The main entrance was a thick-looking gate, and there was a keypad on the right side of the door.

"It looks like we have to crack the combination lock."

Lan Xi and the others curiously gathered around the keypad.

"How do we crack this thing?"

Zhang Hao and the others didn't understand at all.

"Don't understand, huh? Hehe, at a critical moment, you still have to rely on me."

Sun Duo Xiang volunteered to step forward.

"Can you do it?"

Lan Xi looked at Sun Duo Xiang with a little distrust.

"Look at what you're saying. Don't underestimate me. We've all had training. Watch how I show you a thing or two."

After Sun Duo Xiang finished speaking, he took out a can of spray from his backpack and sprayed it on the buttons on the keypad.

Sure enough, six of the nine buttons on the keypad immediately showed fingerprints.

"The password is these six numbers, but the trouble is that we need to figure out the order of the combination. And we also need to pay attention, this kind of combination lock can generally only be entered incorrectly twice. If you get it wrong a third time, it will be completely locked."

Sun Duo Xiang analyzed the situation for everyone in a methodical manner, and even showed a very棘手 (jí shǒu, thorny) look.

At this moment, Su Mo said abruptly, "It's useless even if you crack it, because there's no power."

Hearing Su Mo's words, Sun Duo Xiang's expression was as wonderful as it could be, like swallowing a bitter gourd. However, he quickly brought into play his shameless spirit.

"Big brother is still amazing, seeing right through it. So what do we do now? My performance just now was just juggling in front of you."

"This kind of combination lock has a mechanical emergency switch."

Su Mo replied indifferently.

"But we searched roughly just now, and there isn't one."

"It's here."

Su Mo forcefully flipped up the keypad, and an emergency mechanical handle was hidden inside.

"Damn! It's done!"

Sun Duo Xiang and the others shouted excitedly.

Su Mo pulled the emergency switch hard.

*Clack!*

A huge locking sound echoed from the massive gate, but the gate didn't move at all.

"Big brother, the door isn't responding. Is the emergency switch broken?"

Sun Duo Xiang and the others waited for a while, and when they saw that the gate didn't move at all, they spoke with confusion.

Su Mo didn't answer him. Instead, he walked around in front of the gate a few times, then squatted down and pointed to the bottom of the gate.

"The emergency switch can only relock it. If you want to open this door, you need to rely on your own strength. Look carefully at the bottom of the gate. There are handles welded on, ten in total."

"Are you saying that we seven have to lift this door up? Big brother, you're not kidding, are you? This door is super heavy, at least a ton or so."

Sun Duo Xiang and the others were dumbfounded. Just the seven of them?

"You're wrong. It's not seven people, it's six people, because one person has to roll in while we lift it up. And this isn't a fantasy. Ordinary people can lift 200-400 *jin* (a Chinese unit of weight, approx. 100-200kg) after professional training. Although your physiques don't meet the standard, if you try your best to lift it, there's still a chance that you can lift it up a little bit."

Su Mo explained the situation in detail.

"Okay, then who's going in?"

Although Sun Duo Xiang and the others thought it was absurd, it seemed that there was no better way.

"That goes without saying, naturally Lan Xi is going in. Her figure is relatively petite compared to us, and her strength is also the weakest."

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

"Cough cough, big brother, you can just say it, you don't have to take off your clothes, it's not a good influence. If you're feeling hot, I'll help you find a few..."

When Sun Duo Xiang saw Su Mo taking off his clothes, his instincts immediately went astray.

Su Mo glanced at him coldly, as if looking at an idiot. Su Mo, who had taken off his shirt, revealed eight well-defined abdominal muscles. His seemingly thin body was full of muscles, and each muscle was full of explosive power.

From a young age, Su Mo's body was different from ordinary people. Although his physical development was slow when he was a child, and his various organs didn't meet the standard, as he grew older, his body was completely activated, and his various stats improved by leaps and bounds. This gave him superhuman strength, speed, reaction time, and memory, so he could do everything with ease.

Therefore, Su Mo's grandfather found many masters for him to train him in all aspects. However, the talent Su Mo displayed became even more shocking. No matter what he learned, he mastered it in less than a year, and he always surpassed his teachers.
