You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

"yes!"

Li Mingyu straightened his back, and his eyes sharpened again.

With Advisor Lin around, let alone a mere underground base, they would dare to venture into even the most dangerous places!

The group maintained standard tactical formation and quickly stepped through the gates leading to hell.

The underground structure is much more complex than the top two levels, with interconnected passageways, resembling a giant anthill.

The cold emergency lights on the walls cast long, thin shadows, creating a suffocatingly oppressive atmosphere.

However, in Lin Chen's [God-level Architectural Mastery] vision, this complex structure was as clear as a transparent blueprint.

Without the slightest hesitation, he led the group through a maze of turns, perfectly avoiding several hidden surveillance cameras and defensive traps, heading straight for the core area of ​​the entire base.

About five minutes later, the group stopped at the end of a passageway.

Before them stood a barrier that would make even the most skilled experts feel despair.

That was a door.

A giant door, estimated to be over half a meter thick, made entirely of an alloy with a bluish metallic luster!

The door has no superfluous decorations, only coldness, heaviness, and a suffocating sense of oppression.

At the very center of the door is an extremely complex combination lock that integrates a keypad, fingerprint scanner, and mechanical dial.

"Holy crap..."

A young SWAT officer couldn't help but mutter a curse under his breath.

"What...what is this thing? Even bank vault doors aren't this exaggerated!"

Li Mingyu's expression also became extremely solemn. He stepped forward, shone his tactical flashlight on the object, and then tapped it with his knuckles. The sound that came back was frighteningly dull.

"It's titanium alloy!"

Li Mingyu gasped, his voice becoming hoarse.

"And judging by its thickness and color, it's definitely aerospace grade! Don't even mention using a gun; even if you blasted it with C4, it'd probably only leave a white dot!"

Upon hearing this, everyone's hearts sank.

Aerospace-grade titanium alloy—this represents the pinnacle of physical defense.

Did they go through all that trouble only to be kept out by this impenetrable tortoise shell?

Just then, an inconspicuous surveillance camera at the top of the passageway suddenly flashed an eerie red light.

Immediately afterwards, a sharp and arrogant woman's laughter came from the loudspeaker hidden in the wall.

"Hehehe... Lin Chen, I really should praise you. You are indeed much more capable than I imagined, you actually managed to find this place."

"However, the game ends here!"

That's the sound of a venomous snake!

Her voice was filled with the relief of surviving a disaster and a playful, cat-and-mouse game.

"See this door in front of you? Let me tell you, it's called the 'Wall of Sighs.' It's made of the same titanium alloy as the outer shell of a space shuttle, sixty centimeters thick, and even anti-tank missiles can't break through it!"

"Oh, right, and that cute combination lock on the door."

"It has a full 64 bits, it's dynamic, and it changes randomly every minute."

"You only have one chance to enter the information. If you enter it incorrectly or attempt to brute-force it, the entire underground base will automatically release a high concentration of sarin gas within ten seconds."

The snake's voice was filled with wicked pleasure.

"At that time, all of you, including those experimental subjects captured above, will melt into a puddle of pus amidst excruciating neurological pain!"

"Just imagine that scene, isn't it wonderful?"

"I'll give you ten minutes, Advisor Lin."

"Enjoy your final moments outside this 'Wall of Sighs'! Hehehehe..."

The piercing laughter echoed through the corridor, filled with the final madness of someone on the verge of death.

Li Mingyu and several SWAT team members' faces instantly turned ashen.

A 64-digit dynamic password!

One mistake and poison gas was released!

This is not a solution, this is a dead end!

"Damn it! That crazy woman!"

Li Mingyu was so angry that his eyes turned red, and he slammed his fist hard against the wall next to him.

"She's trying to take us all down with her!"

"Captain, what should we do? Should we... retreat first? Call in the explosives and chemical experts from headquarters?"

One of the team members suggested anxiously.

"It's too late!"

Li Mingyu shook his head in despair.

"Ten minutes! By the time they get here, we'll be a puddle of water!"

In an instant, an atmosphere of despair spread like a plague.

However, while everyone else was anxious and restless, Lin Chen, at the center of the storm, remained unusually calm throughout.

He didn't even frown.

After hearing the venomous snake's arrogant provocation, he merely curled his lip in disdain and let out a barely audible sneer.

"The explosives won't break it open? It'll release poison gas?"

Lin Chen silently complained to himself.

"That only shows that you guys are terrible at physics and chemistry. Installing such a self-destruct device that attacks indiscriminately in your own backyard is incredibly stupid."

He completely ignored the woman barking wildly behind the monitor, and also ignored Li Mingyu, who was sweating profusely beside him.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he walked calmly and slowly to the massive titanium alloy keypad door.

He reached out and gently stroked the cold metal door, as if admiring a work of art.

"Lin...Brother Lin, what...what are you going to do?"

Li Mingyu watched with bated breath, fearing that Lin Chen might do something reckless and trigger the self-destruct mechanism.

Lin Chen didn't turn around, but simply uttered two words.

"Open the door."

His voice wasn't loud, but it carried an air of self-assured certainty, as if he were opening not an impregnable fortress, but simply the door to his own bedroom.

Li Mingyu and his teammates were stunned.

Open the door?

How do I open it?

Do you need to use your head to open it?!

Even the venomous snake in the monitoring room, who was about to raise a glass of red wine to celebrate, froze slightly upon seeing this scene, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes.

This Lin Chen, he's about to die, what kind of mystique is he trying to pull?

Lin Chen ignored the complicated electronic keypad and walked straight to the bottom mechanical dial.

He slowly squatted down.
