The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 1158 That's it? Methods?
"The situation is more complicated than I heard. If we use traditional tools, there's a real possibility that we won't be able to make a difference..."

Pang Dakun closed his eyes, muttering to himself, his hand pressed against the crack in the door trembling up and down, then suddenly he lifted it up with force!
"open!"

Click, clang clang...

"Less than a minute! Holy crap, Kun is amazing!"

As a series of mechanical noises came from inside the gate, a combatant with a stopwatch excitedly showed everyone: fifty-seven seconds!

"Was this a re-calibrated watch? Impressive, Kun, awesome!"

"My brother Kun is amazing, a young man of great talent!"

The combatants praised Pang Dakun profusely.

"No problem, no problem, hehe..."

Pang Dakun could barely suppress his smirk. He adopted the air of a seasoned master, telling everyone not to flatter him. Somewhat bewildered, he wiped the door with his hand, and the thin ice instantly vaporized upon landing.

The cold energy was far more convenient than traditional lock-picking tools. In Pang Dakun's perception, it was just like drilling his finger inside to feel the internal structure, which was very magical!
Enjoying the flattery, Pang Kun pushed the door open and said, "Setting up an armory in such a hidden place, there must be more than two doors; there must be other security measures, but they're probably all ineffective now. Hmm? I can't push it open..."

Heavy double steel doors usually have rollers at the bottom. Pang Kun pushed hard, but only felt the door shake very slightly and didn't move at all. It could shake like this even before the lock was opened...

"Oh no, I praised you too early!"

Qi Xiaoshuai gave Pang Dakun a strange look, as if to say, "You've really embarrassed yourself!"
"It's definitely open now, look at all that noise just now!"

Pang Dakun took out a steel wire, straightened it, and ran it up and down between the two doors without any obstruction.

"Hey, don't say that... I guess there are hidden latches in other places? Handsome, lift me up, let me check."

Pang Dakun suspected that there were still hidden latches around the door that hadn't been opened, so he asked Qi Xiaoshuai to help lift him up so he could try to open the door along the crack.

"I come."

Meng Changwei stepped forward and took the initiative to lift Pang Dakun up. With his strength, he could easily lift more than 100 kilograms with both hands. With his palms supporting his feet, the height was barely enough to reach the top of the gate.

"have to……"

After trying it along the seam, I confirmed that there were pulleys at the bottom of the door, and I also found that each door had three hidden latches, two on top and one on the bottom!
The gate was far more complex than it appeared.

"Hmm! That shouldn't be the case... The internal structure isn't a single unit; it's controlled by several separate units?"

Pang Dakun plopped down on the ground, made an "eight" shape with his right hand to support his chin, and stared at the door in front of him with a furrowed brow, looking utterly helpless.

"I have a guess."

Meng Changwei touched the door and said with a sigh, "I guess it's because it wasn't opened through normal channels, so it couldn't trigger all the internal structures of the door at once?"

"It's also possible that the system relies on electricity to activate, and since there's no power now, it's not working!"

Pang Dakun stood up and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing Pang Dakun's troubled expression, Qi Xiaoshuai pulled him aside and whispered, "Why don't we just use the same method as before?"

"Young man, you make it sound so easy. I...I..."

As he spoke, Pang Dakun opened his palms with his back to the person, a thin wisp of cold air appearing in his palms. He said awkwardly, "It's gone. We'll have to wait for it to recover!"

Of all the people, Pang Dakun had the least amount of cold energy in his body. The precise operation he just performed had almost exhausted all of his cold energy.

"Damn, how long will it take to recover?"

"Uh... two or three hours, but each door has three hidden latches, so I estimate it will take at least four more times, and at the fastest it will take about ten hours."

Pang Dakun crossed his index fingers, looking sullen.

"We can't wait! Let's try another method first..."

Qi Xiaoshuai was stunned. He couldn't afford to waste an entire day on this. He walked back to the group and said, "Come on, everyone, let's try pushing the door together. Maybe the hidden latch isn't that sturdy." "Come on, everyone!"

Many hands make light work, so let's give it a try; it doesn't cost much.

"Okay, listen to me, three, two, one, go!"

Twenty people were divided into two sides. The gate was wide enough that ten people could line up and still try to get closer to the middle. When the work song was shouted, they all strained.

"ah!"

"Hey!"

"Well……"

Chachacha...

The sounds of straining accompanied the scraping of shoes against the ground, and the faces of the combatants turned red instantly. Some of them had ferocious expressions, as if they were about to burst out with their dissertations!
Buzz, buzz...

The immense force applied to the gate did indeed produce a reaction; strange squeezing sounds echoed, and the gate itself deformed slightly, indicating it had shifted a bit. Judging from the marks on the ground, the angle would be approximately one degree...

"Phew, no chance, let's take a break."

Pang Dakun loosened his grip, pressed his face against the door, and felt no coldness from the metal, only frustration.

"We don't have time to waste. Da Kun, you've done your best, and everyone else has tried. Let's get down to business!"

Qi Xiaoshuai shook his arm, walked to the car, and took out two small remote-controlled bombs from his bag.

Among the combatants present were members of the Southern Alliance who followed Zhao Linfeng, as well as people from the New Era in Lu County. They had no idea what the so-called methods were. When the mission leader took out two toy-like bombs, they quickly bit their lips, afraid of laughing out loud.

That's it? These are the methods?
Meng Changwei had seen grapes before and knew their power, but he was still skeptical, after all, this metal door was no ordinary thing!

Pang Dakun kicked the door, grumbling, "This is so annoying. Using underhanded methods just makes me look useless..."

"No, that's not true. You've already done your job, and very successfully. This is a special case! Go ahead and blast it; we can't delay important matters, time is of the essence! What about yours?"

Qi Xiaoshuai urged, saying that they didn't know what was going on inside the armory and needed to allow plenty of time.

"Now, here you go!"

Pang Dakun also took out two remote-controlled bombs and placed them in Qi Xiaoshuai's hand.

"Um, I have something to tell you."

Meng Changwei raised his hand awkwardly and said to Qi Xiaoshuai, "Xiaoshuai, you are in charge of this operation. In principle, I have no right to question you, but... if you're going to blow up the door, you must calculate the blast radius carefully. After all, the armory is built inside the mountain, and it can't withstand any turmoil. Don't cause a landslide!"

As he spoke, he pointed to the mountain, its hard rocks revealing a sense of vicissitude, majestic and resolute.

???

The members, who were completely baffled, were even more confused. That tiny bomb was like a joke; how could it cause a landslide?

Are you sure this isn't just baseless speculation?

Qi Xiaoshuai looked at the remote-controlled bomb in his hand with a troubled expression, then at the iron gate. Suddenly, a brilliant idea struck him, and he said, "Hey, I have a solution! We can do this: put the explosive in the middle of the gate, right here. That'll definitely make a hole in the gate, and the internal structure will be exposed!"

He held up the bomb, gesturing between the two doors.

"Once the structure is exposed, we can find a way to directly open the latch. Brilliant, young man, you're so smart!"

Pang Dakun quickly chimed in, not forgetting to compliment the other person, and jumped up happily.

"Yes, yes, that's good."

Meng Changwei knew the power of a small remote-controlled bomb. If it was placed in the middle of the gate, it wouldn't damage the mountain. He felt relieved. His life was at stake, and he couldn't be careless.
