My Doomsday Train.

Chapter 180 "A fool is better than an expert."

Chen Mang raised his eyebrows slightly. He felt that he had guessed the correct way to use this accessory. He was truly a genius.

at this time--

Xiao Ai's voice came from my ear: "Conductor, the residents seem to have dug up something strange while mining. Do you want to take a look?"

"go."

Chen Mang answered very straightforwardly. He immediately put on the "individual exoskeleton armor" inside his sweater, walked out of the train room, and headed towards the iron mine next to the train.

At this time, the train guards had already cordoned off a certain area.

The rest of the residents are still working.

There was only that one spot, empty like the Mediterranean hair that Lao Zhu had before.

"Mr. Mang."

The guards stood straight in their places, looked at Chen Mang respectfully and said in a deep voice.

Chen Mang walked into the crowd and saw a copper door lying flat on the ground with an electronic lock on it.

The combination of electronic lock and copper door looks extremely incongruous.

"Mr. Mang."

Zhang Damei stepped forward and reported, "A resident dug it out while mining. It seems like there's a wall of air surrounding the door. When I hit it with my pick, there's no reaction."

Chen Mang used his cane to remotely activate the "resource detection radar" and "enemy search radar" in the train, but he didn't detect anything under the bronze door. It was exactly the same as the ground, without any red dots or anything special.

He took the pickaxe from the guard beside him, walked to the bronze door, and swung the pickaxe to smash it on the ground.

Clang.

It was like hitting metal, without any dirt flying into the air. I clearly saw the pickaxe hitting the dirt with my own eyes, but after it hit me, it didn't feel like hitting dirt at all.

My arm feels slightly numb.

He returned the pickaxe to the guard beside him, squatted down, and looked at the copper door in front of him whose surface had been cleaned. Experience told him that this was an adventure map, just like the map of the exclusive flesh and blood train encountered in the "Kunlun Mountains" area.

but.
He frowned slightly and looked at the "combination lock" on the bronze door.

There are 10 numbers in total, from 0 to 9.

There is also a "Confirm Open" button next to the password lock. Obviously, only by entering the correct password can this bronze door be opened, but no one knows what the password is, and there are no hints around.

"."

Chen Mang thought for a moment and said, "Zhang Damei, tell all residents to stop mining and return to the train."

"Yes."

Today is the first day of mining for the 1900 new survivors who joined the train. This group of people has thoroughly understood the train's promotion mechanism and was just about to work hard to mine in order to get a raise as soon as possible and qualify to earn star coupons. However, they were stopped shortly after they started mining.

Chen Mang controlled the train to drill into the ground and head towards the underground under the "Bronze Gate".

as predicted.

After reaching the area below the bronze door, the drill seemed to have hit an air wall. There was clearly ordinary soil in front of it, but the level 50 drill produced sparks while drilling, and there was not even a trace of damage.

After walking around, he found that this adventure wrapped in the air wall was not very big, probably only the size of four refrigerators.

Not the interior space.

It is the size of four refrigerators stacked together, basically the size of a grave. If this is an adventure map, then this is the smallest adventure map he has ever encountered. Not only can a train not enter, but even two or three people can enter.

Or the kind that goes in sideways.

Since we can't get in by taking shortcuts, the only way is to crack the password.

"Old Pig, among those 1900 survivors, find someone brave enough to enter the password I gave you. Whether you open it or not, you will directly enjoy the treatment of a Level 1 resident."

Chen Mang stopped the train about one kilometer away from the bronze gate before giving the order.

He had a guess in his heart.

There is no password hint, so the coordinates of the bronze door may be the password.

After all, there were no other clues related to numbers, and there were no patterns on the bronze door, and it didn't look like it was used for decryption.

It’s really good to have more people.

Among 1900 people, there is always one who is not afraid of death.

Soon, a burly man jumped off the train, with a mechanical eye on his chest, and strode towards the bronze door a thousand meters away.

Chen Mang was sitting in the train compartment, looking at the first-person perspective of the burly man on the screen.

The moment the coordinates are entered and OK is pressed.

The strong man turned around and ran without any hesitation, but there was no explosion or movement behind him. After receiving the order, the strong man continued to muster up the courage to walk towards the bronze door.

A line of words appeared on the bronze door.

"Wrong password, 2 attempts left."

"."

"Meeting!"

Chen Mang frowned and immediately called Li Shiji, Lao Zhu, Biaozi and others into the train room to prepare for a meeting to crack the code. Although he didn't know what was below, this was definitely an opportunity. Since they all saw it, it was his.

It would be a pity to miss it.

When everyone arrives.

Chen Mangcai scanned everyone's face, and a detailed image of the bronze door appeared on the screen: "It's this bronze door. You still have two chances to enter the password. If you have any ideas, just say it directly."

His gaze lingered on Li Shishi for a second longer.

He still had high expectations for Li Shiji, maybe Li Shiji could see something.

Feeling the burning gaze of Master Mang, Li Shishi began to sweat on his back. He stared at the bronze door on the screen, and the more he looked, the more confused he became.

Think quickly, think quickly!

He's just a game designer who's usually fond of mazes and has a much better sense of space than others, but that's all.
He is not God.

How is it possible to figure out the password by looking at a combination lock with no clues at all?

The most important thing is that you don’t even know how many digits the password is. Even if it is 6 digits, there are one million different passwords that can be made up of ten digits.

What's more, we don't even know how many digits it is, so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack.

at this time--

Li Shiji's eyes suddenly lit up: "Maybe it's the coordinates of the bronze door?"

"Tried it."

Chen Mang shook his head: "The first time we tried it, we used the coordinates, and it wasn't right."

The light in Li Shishi's eyes dimmed, and he began to stare at the bronze door on the screen with some uneasiness.

"I think so."

Biaozi hesitated for a moment and began to express his views: "Look at this bronze door. It may represent history, while this combination lock represents modern technology. These two are obviously two extremes."

"And since the combination lock is on the copper door, could it be the two-digit number '09'?"

“They are just two extremes.”

"That makes sense." Lao Zhu looked at Biaozi in surprise, and then expressed his guess.

"Master Mang, I think Biaozi's theory is plausible. In my opinion, there's no clue on this bronze door. The only clue is that it appears right in the center of the Level 3 iron ore." "And the grades of the areas, from low to high, are white, green, and yellow."

"The Zombie Basin happens to be the yellow area, which is 3."

"Again, in the middle of a Level 3 iron mine."

"So the password might be '3' or '33'."

"."

After Chen Mang pondered for a moment, he felt that what the two said made some sense. Finally, he turned his gaze to Xiao Ai in the corner and asked, "Do you have any ideas?"

Xiao Ai's voice rang out inside the train cabin.

"What Lao Zhu and Biao Zi said makes sense, but I might be able to offer a different perspective. This level 3 iron mine didn't just refresh, but has already refreshed several times."

"That means that when this level 3 iron mine was refreshed several times before, many trains had already mined it, and they must have discovered this bronze door."

"They certainly tried."

“But so far”

"No train shared this on the train radio. Putting aside their reluctance to share, there's only one possibility: if you enter the wrong number three times in a row, something bad will happen."

"It could even lead to the destruction of the entire train."

"Of course, this is a rather pessimistic guess. My guess is that the password might be the specific year and month when the end of the world will come."

"."

After listening to their opinions, Chen Mang was silent for a long time before picking up the intercom: "Enter password 33."

In the first perspective.

You could see that the sturdy man's hands were shaking a little, but he still carefully clicked 3 twice before pressing the "Confirm Open" button.

soon.

A line of words appeared on the bronze door again.
-
"Wrong password, 1 attempts left."
-
Password 33 is also incorrect.

Chen Mang didn't speak, but stared intently at the image of the bronze door on the screen with a frown. After a long moment, he spoke again, "Don't enter any password, just press the 'Confirm Open' button."

The other side of the screen.

It was obvious that the strong man was shaking like a sieve, but he still forced himself to remain calm and directly pressed the "Confirm Open" button.

next moment--

Suddenly, a white light appeared on the bronze door, and the indicator light on the combination lock turned green, and the bronze door slowly opened.

The password is correct and it is opened.

Chen Mang laughed and immediately controlled the train to head towards the bronze gate. He made the right bet. Without any clues or hints, it was impossible for anyone to guess the password.

Since it is impossible for anyone to guess the password, there is no point in this bronze door appearing.

He always believed in one thing.

That is, after the end of the world, everything that appears cannot be meaningless, and it is impossible for a bronze door that cannot be opened to appear in this world. There is only one answer.

That is, the function of the password lock is only to mislead.

It is very easy to open this bronze door. Just press the "Confirm Open" button.

"what?"

"what?"

"what?"

The moment the bronze door opened, several unanimous voices of disbelief were heard in the train room, including Xiao Ai's mechanical electronic voice. They had never expected that the password for this bronze door was actually no password?

So what did they guess after all this time?
"A fool is better than an expert."

Biaozi said with a complicated expression, "If we had sent Zhang Er over, he wouldn't have needed three attempts. He would have opened it in one try. Who the hell could have imagined that it would actually open without entering any password, just by pressing confirm."

"cough."

Lao Zhu coughed lightly before reminding, "Well, let me remind you, this combination lock was opened by Master Mang."

Biaozi, who had just reacted at this moment, changed his expression slightly and explained hurriedly: "Mr. Mang, that's not what I meant. I meant what I meant."

Li Shiji took over the conversation and said with admiration.

"The first level is to see mountains as mountains and water as water."

"The second level of the realm is to look at mountains but not mountains, and to look at water not as water."

"The third level is to look at mountains as mountains and water as water."

"Although we both see mountains as mountains and water as water, Zhang Er is at the first level, while you, Master Mang, are at the third level!"

"Mr. Mang, that's awesome!"

"That's right!" Biaozi breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly, "That's what I meant, Master Mang."

Chen Mang didn't care about this little thing. He just stopped the train next to the iron mine, jumped off the train and strode towards the bronze gate. When he passed by the strong man, he smiled with satisfaction.

"That's right, Lao Zhu. You will be responsible for arranging his salary increase."

"no problem."

Lao Zhu nodded hurriedly, then waved his hand to signal the strong man that he could go back to the carriage. He remembered this strong man.

The resident number seemed to be 1998, one of the 1900 survivors. He used to be a funeral supervisor and was a ruthless person. In order to show him how ruthless he was, he hit his head on the steel table, causing his head to bleed.

Now it seems quite cruel.

He was promoted to first-level resident treatment so quickly and was the fastest promoted among the 1900 survivors.

Then Chen Mang looked down at the bronze door.

The internal space is not large, about the size of a tomb, and there is no explosives inside, which means that even if you enter the wrong number three times in a row, it should not explode.

At best there would be no chance of trying again, and the train would not be allowed to try again.

As for the train radio, no one mentioned it.

It's simply because no one would talk about such chance things on the train radio. Even if you can't get it, you can't keep it secret. What if someone else gets it?
It's sad that you can't get it.

But it’s even more sad to see others get it.

There were two objects lying flat inside.

One blueprint, one voucher.

"Master Mang, I'll go." Biaozi, who was standing aside, immediately jumped into the deep pit, stuffed the two things into his arms, took a running start, climbed up the wall in three steps, and climbed out of the tomb pit.

The whole process was extremely smooth.

The three steps to climb the wall were also quite smooth.

"."

The old pig curled his lips when he saw this. The pit was more than two meters deep. If he jumped in, it would be difficult to get out. This Biaozi had another trick up his sleeve. When he was free, he would also go to the virtual space for combat training to practice.

Although he is a civilian, it never hurts to improve his physical fitness.

"Mr. Mang, here you go."

Biaozi climbed out of the tomb quite smoothly and handed the two things in his pocket to Mang Ye.
