Chapter 1937 - 1530: Deciphering (Second Update)
"Hmm, the better it’s hidden, the less likely it’s been disturbed."
Su Mo felt increasingly pleasant.
"That’s true, but it’s probably not easy for you to find the entrance."
Creator · Swallower said in a deep voice.
"It’s right under our noses, how could we not find it?"
Su Mo shook his head and replied.
Creator · Swallower didn’t say much more.
.....
After half a day, Sun Duoxiang, Qian Chengxue, and others all gathered around Su Mo.
"Boss, it’s not working; we’ve been searching for half a day, tried various methods and detection instruments, but found no entrance at all. Boss, is your coordinate incorrect?"
Sun Duoxiang scratched his head, asking with some frustration.
Su Mo was surprised upon hearing this and turned to look at the group.
"How could the coordinates be incorrect? None of you found it?"
"No, we’ve searched the entire area and frequently examined the ground to judge whether there’s a disguised entrance, but still found nothing."
Qian Chengxue shook her head.
Su Mo felt it was very tricky upon hearing this. After some thought, he said.
"Spread out and search carefully again!"
"Okay!"
Qian Chengxue and the others nodded.
Su Mo didn’t remain idle; he operated the mecha, walking on the ground, personally scouting.
After more than ten hours, Su Mo and others searched the entire plain area again and regrouped.
"Boss, still no luck. A normal entrance, no matter how well hidden, should be easy to find due to its size, right?"
Long Ke replied with a headache.
At this moment, Sun Duoxiang suggested to Su Mo: "Boss, if we can’t find it, why bother? Since we know the base is underneath, why not just break it open with force?"
Su Mo was tempted by Sun Duoxiang’s suggestion.
But Creator · Swallower’s words were like cold water, pouring on Su Mo’s exhilaration.
"Don’t think about using brute force; although I’m hindered, my scanning ability is greatly limited. However, I have thoroughly scanned the rock layers below; I detected isolated metal layers. Even using a ship’s main cannon wouldn’t work well, and might even destroy the base."
"There has to be an entrance, right?"
"There definitely is an entrance, but it’s not as simple as you imagine. Search carefully again; there must be a special switch."
Creator · Swallower reminded thoughtfully.
Upon hearing Creator · Swallower’s analysis, Su Mo instructed Sun Duoxiang and others:
"Can’t use force; everyone spread out and search the area thoroughly, looking for any special activation mechanism!"
"Okay!"
Seeing Su Mo say so, Sun Duoxiang and the others held their breath and replied.
Then everyone began conducting a thorough search, examining meticulously.
...
Next day.
Su Mo operated Mad Eye Rhenhok and searched meticulously on the ground.
The endless crimson rocky surface made his eyes blur.
Su Mo frequently rubbed his eyes.
At this time, Sun Duoxiang operated the Divine’s Apostle, running happily over to Su Mo, and shouted excitedly:
"Boss, I found it!"
"You found it? Great! Where is it?"
Su Mo was also very pleased; Sun Duoxiang truly surprised him.
"Boss, come with me."
Sun Duoxiang immediately led Su Mo flying into the distance.
Soon they arrived at an inconspicuous spot. Sun Duoxiang opened the cockpit, jumped down swiftly, moved a rock, revealing a slightly protruding rock beneath it. He brushed off the dust on the surface, instantly exposing a special slot and identification groove.
"Right here!"
Sun Duoxiang said excitedly.
Su Mo opened the cockpit and jumped down upon seeing this. He observed this activation device carefully, surprised at how deeply hidden it was.
At this time, Qian Chengxue and others also gathered around. Seeing this activation device, they couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief; finally, they found it.
But Long Ke expressed worry, saying:
"Boss, this device seems to require a special key and authorization. Where do we get that?"
Su Mo, hearing Long Ke’s concern, felt a bit troubled too; he consulted Creator · Swallower.
"How do we deal with this? Should we try using the key obtained from the Priest?"
"It’s useless; that’s likely a key for the Prayer. You see, the keyhole shapes are different."
"So there’s even less hope then?"
"Don’t be afraid; I’m still here; I will crack it."
Creator · Swallower replied deeply.
"Are you sure there’s no problem? After all, this is the main base."
Su Mo asked a bit worriedly.
"If there were people alive in this base, then there would indeed be no hope. But since everyone inside the base is dead, without anyone guarding it, even the strongest defensive walls can be breached; it just takes some time."
Creator · Swallower replied arrogantly.
"Alright, let’s do it then!"
Seeing Creator · Swallower’s assurance, Su Mo felt at ease.
He then placed his hand on the activation device, and Creator · Swallower immediately began infiltrating the activation mechanism for cracking!
Sun Duoxiang and others, seeing Su Mo make a move, felt increasingly expectant. In their impression, whenever Su Mo acted, things would get done.
Time slowly passed.
After more than ten hours, Sun Duoxiang and others almost became numb from waiting; their initial excitement completely vanished.
Yawning, he asked Su Mo.
"Boss, how much longer? Is it going to work?"
"Why hurry, it’s almost done! It’s not that easy to crack."
Su Mo answered flippantly; he felt confused himself, secretly asking Creator · Swallower.
"Xiao Shi, how much longer?"
"Why ask so much, I’ve already warned you in advance; it takes a long time, just wait quietly!"
Creator · Swallower couldn’t be bothered saying another word. In fact, it encountered problems too; the defense system of this base wasn’t as simple as it thought.
Su Mo could only wait patiently.
.....
One day, two days, three days!
By the fifth day, Sun Duoxiang and others were numbed from waiting.
Su Mo felt extremely annoyed; the time length was far beyond expectations, and he somewhat doubted the capability of Creator · Swallower.
Just then, the identification device suddenly lit up with numerous circuits.
Instantly the entire ground began shaking violently.
Su Mo’s eyes brightened, asked with surprise.
"Is it done?"
"Done!"
Creator · Swallower replied deeply.
Qian Chengxue and others were also startled by the sudden change; they hastily asked.
"Su Mo, what happened?"
"Opened!"
Suppressing his excitement, Su Mo replied to them.
Upon seeing the distant crimson ground split open along both sides, the scene was incredibly magnificent.
Su Mo immediately climbed onto Mad Eye Rhenhok, operated the mecha to fly over, with Sun Duoxiang and others following closely behind.
