Chapter 167: Mechanical lock

Views:

When Liu Qian and the Yinhe belt team returned to the main building to meet up with Zhang Shengli after finding nothing, Zhang Shengli reported Liu Qian's good news with surprise on his face. He discovered a secret door leading to the ground in what looked like a utility room in the stairwell from the first floor to the second floor.

There was originally a wooden cabinet there. After removing the wooden cabinet, the wooden floor behind it could be completely uncovered. After the wooden floor was completely uncovered, a round alloy hatch appeared, which was locked. As long as the top was opened, lock, you can go down from here.

There is no logo of Sanyu Company on this alloy hatch, and it is different from the hatch Liu Qian saw in the warehouse on the second floor of the Biochemical Intelligence Research Center Building before. It does not seem to have an electronic lock structure, but that kind of A door lock that can only be opened with a special key.

Zhao Meng stepped forward and got busy with his homemade lockpick, but after a few minutes, he retreated in disgrace.

"This is a mechanical door lock device that I have never seen before. It should require a specific key to open it. With my skills, I will definitely not be able to do it." Zhao Meng reported a few words to Liu Qian with an embarrassed look on his face. . Whether the door lock can be opened or not, he will know after just one try. The door lock that can be opened only requires time, but the door lock that cannot be opened will be useless no matter how much time it takes. It is impossible to open it no matter what.

"It really can't be opened? Why don't you try more?" Liu Qian had a somewhat unwilling expression.

"It can't be opened. If it can be opened, I will know as soon as I try." Zhao Meng answered Liu Qian.

Seeing that Zhao Meng couldn't open the lock, Liu Qian began to try to open the lock violently, but after being busy for a while, Liu Qian also gave up.

The ground is a reinforced concrete structure. Judging from the sound after the knocking, there should be a deep well under the circular hatch. The surrounding area of the deep well is likely to be made of reinforced concrete. There may even be a steel shaft in the deep well. , unless a designated key is used, there is absolutely no possibility of forceful breaking.

So Liu Gan asked the three groups of people to take action again. This time it's about finding the key, not just searching all the building rooms. We also need to search every corpse and collect them all for anything similar to keys and bring them back here.

"Why are we going through so much trouble in the middle of the night? This island is not safe. I think it would be better for us to leave the island and go back to the yacht. Food and other things can also be moved to the yacht!" Zhou Mingliang couldn't bear it. He opened his mouth and said a few words.

"Yes! Something happened to Zhou Jingjing just now. You may not know who will be in trouble next. Someone may be killed and their brains eaten. Why don't we leave the island on a yacht before anything happens? Come on!" Others also echoed a few words.

"Master Liu, please listen to everyone's opinions." Zhou Mingliang saw that many people agreed with him, so he said to Liu Gan again.

"It's not your turn to make a decision here. If you don't want to abide by my rules and stay in this team, I will give you a chance to leave alone the next time you land on the island." Liu Gan couldn't open the secret laboratory. The door was already a little distraught. Zhou Mingliang couldn't help but feel a little angry when he made such noise.

"I'm just saying, who's my turn to make the decision? Mr. Liu doesn't need to be so angry." Zhou Mingliang replied to Liu Qian sarcastically, and finally stopped talking.

All the team members were very tired. However, they had to take action under the urging of the leaders of each group, although they did not dare to say anything. But in his heart, he felt that Liu Gan was torturing them to find something. Why not let everyone rest for a night and search again tomorrow

Of course Liu Gan had his reasons for doing this. He felt that the island was very strange, especially before the mutated zombie with hallucinogenic ability was killed. He didn't want the team to stay on the island for too long, so he only After searching the secret laboratory, he immediately left here and returned to the yacht. This is also for the safety of the team members.

The subsequent search took about half an hour, and everyone found at least a dozen keys from the room and each corpse. But none of them could open the circular hatch. When they were shown to Zhao Meng, Zhao Meng also confirmed that these keys could not open the circular hatch.

"The mechanical lock has two levels, and the key should also have two levels. The first level is about ten centimeters in length, and after unfolding the second level, it should be about 18 centimeters. The key may have five teeth, two of which are for concealment. , and then there is a mechanical triggering mechanism on it. Only when the key penetrates the keyhole to a certain depth, the mechanical triggering mechanism will pop out, unfold the secondary key teeth, enter the deeper keyhole, and open the keyhole. The hatch." After Zhao Meng studied the hatch lock again, he told Liu Qian his speculation.

"Can you make such a tool to pry open this door lock?" Liu Gan asked Zhao Meng.

"If it were at my home, with an electronic lathe and all kinds of tools, I might be able to make such a lock-picking tool in ten days, but we don't have such conditions here." Zhao Meng told Liu Qian shook his head.

"The team members are all tired. Mr. Liu, what should we do next? Go back to the yacht or rest here?" Zhang Shengli pulled Liu Gan aside and asked him politely. He was leading the team just now. At that time, there were a lot of complaints in the team, and it was really not good to continue to do this.

"It's midnight, and the yacht is not very safe in the water. Xiao He and I have just confirmed that the thing came out of the water, has hallucinogenic abilities, and has probably followed us. If we stay On the yacht, who knows when it will come out of the water and attack us? Its hallucinogenic attack is launched remotely. Everyone on the yacht has no power to resist. If something happens, it will be difficult to even disperse." Liu Qian shook his head. He would definitely not leave the island until he had explored the laboratory.

"What do you mean, everyone will continue to stay on this island and not go anywhere?" Zhang Shengli confirmed to Liu Qian.

"Yes." Liu Qian nodded.

"I heard you just said that the thing launched a hallucinogenic attack on Zhou Jingjing after entering the women's restroom, which shows that its long-range attack ability is very limited, maybe only a few meters away. Why don't we all enter the hall on the first floor, and Make a bed on the floor in the center of the hall to rest, and then leave people on duty, looking in the four directions. As soon as you find it coming in, you will immediately sound the alarm. It seems that it is impossible to hallucinate all of us at once. As long as I, Mr. Liu and Xiao He has one person who has not been hallucinated, so he can fight back." Zhang Shengli came up with an idea. (To be continued~^~)
