"Where is the secret door?" Josiah looked at Lin Dong.
Not only him, but everyone else was looking at Lin Dong, hoping to get the final answer from him.
Lin Dong was not in a hurry, he smiled and said, "The secret door is right in front of us. As for how to open it, of course we can't use spells to open the secret door. However, we usually have two ways to open the door. One is to push, and the other is to pull. Why don't we give it a try?"
Fox seemed to understand a little, he smiled and said, "And then? We'll experiment on these rocks one by one to see which one is the movable mechanism, right? "
Lin Dong waved his hand, "There's no need to go through so much trouble, we just need to press on the right spot."
Griffon volunteered, "Which rock is the correct spot? I'll press on it!"
"I think if you climb up ten meters and try on the slightly concave spot, you might be surprised!" As soon as Lin Dong finished, before Griffon could do anything, Josiah jumped up and crawled on the rock like a gecko. Then, following Lin Dong's request, he tried his best to reach his hand into the inconspicuous crack in the rock and pushed.
He felt the rock that his fingertips touched move a little.
But it felt like an illusion.
Immediately after, he pushed with all his might.
This time, the feeling was very real. The rock that he pushed had really loosened.
After the secret door's mechanism was activated, the whole rock suddenly shook as if there was an earthquake. Then, there was a deep rumbling sound coming from the ground, which lasted for a long time.
Josiah quickly jumped down from the rock, while Lin Dong slowly retreated ten meters away, quietly waiting for the result.
Fox asked curiously, "Mr Wood, how did you know that was the secret door's mechanism?"
"I guessed!" Lin Dong answered seriously.
Of course, no one believed this answer.
Especially Josiah.
He had checked this rock wall many times, especially the area that the map pointed out. He had carefully felt every rock, and he had discovered the crack long ago. He had also tried all kinds of methods to touch it. He had pulled, pulled, pushed, pressed, and tried all kinds of actions, but to no avail. Today, with a light poke, he had actually triggered the secret door's mechanism. If it wasn't for the fact that Mr Wood had been staying on the surface all this while and had never gone up, he would have suspected that the secret door's mechanism was tampered with by him.
As for the rock crevices, who knew how many of these ordinary rock crevices there were on this stone wall.
If not a thousand, there were at least eight hundred.
Why did Mr. Wood choose the one about ten meters above his head, and not the one beside him, or the one about six or seven meters below him?
Josiah was annoyed that he had managed to open the mechanism with just a gentle push of his finger. If he had known it would be so easy, he would have tried all kinds of methods before. Why didn't he think of using his finger to push the rock?
"I'm such a failure!" Josiah was very sad. If he had done this earlier, he wouldn't have waited until now. He could have gone into the secret door to explore and even taken all the treasures.
However.
He vaguely remembered that he had tried all kinds of methods.
Could it be that he had tried pulling, pulling, pushing, and pressing, but he had never tried using his finger to push?
"If I had tried using my finger to push, then I would have triggered the mechanism. Mr. Wood only reminded me to do so. He didn't do anything suspicious on the stone wall, he didn't even touch the stone wall! Hmm, there must be something wrong with my memory. I'm too depressed! "Josiah could only conclude that he was too depressed, causing confusion in his memory.
Josiah did not know that this secret door's mechanism was really done by Lin Dong.
The secret door on the stone wall had been closed from the inside. If the mechanism was not restored, it would be impossible to open it from the outside.
Previously, of course, Josiah had tried using his finger or tools to push the rock crack. The reason why he did not achieve any results was that Lin Dong had not restored the mechanism that was sealed inside.
Now, with just a gentle push, the mechanism was activated.
It was not that his memory was wrong. It was that Lin Dong, who had actually opened the secret door, had not arrived yet. The stone wall was shaking.
The ground was shaking.
The dull rumbling sound was getting louder and closer to the surface.
Countless gravel fell from the stone wall. However, like a miracle, a hundred meters above the stone wall, there was a huge and dark cave that looked like the throat of a monster. Looking up from the ground, the cave looked like a window on the stone wall. But everyone knew that it was actually a door, a secret door that led to the Mayan civilization!
When the movement subsided.
Josiah brought ten genetic soldiers and climbed up quickly. Then, he lowered a long rope.
"Mr. Wood, if someone touches the mechanism again, will the door close?" Josiah was worried that after everyone went up, if someone with ulterior motives touched the secret door, it would close. Then, everyone would be trapped inside forever.
"I don't think so. I think the mechanism that closes the door is set inside. As for the specifics, we will only know after we go up and take a look!" Lin Dong expressed that he was not sure.
"Why don't we leave half of our people here to guard?" Eric Jr. suggested.
"No, on the contrary, everyone should go in!" Josiah still felt that it would be safer if everyone went in.
As for the soldiers who were left behind in the cave, they would not come over.
Secondly, they would not know where the mechanism was.
Leaving the soldiers outside would also disperse their strength. They did not know how many monsters were hiding inside the secret door. They had to gather everyone together to ensure that they had enough strength to protect their own interests. Although the other party was small in number, every one of them was strong. Griffon, Fox, and Philip, each stronger than the last. The most terrifying one was the "omniscient and omnipotent" god-like Mr. Wood!
"Mr. Wood, you are so smart. You always want to be ahead of others. Is this natural, or is it because of the genetic medicine?" The eyes of the female soldier who was responsible for escorting Lin Dong were filled with admiration. The eyes of the other female soldiers beside her were also shining. They looked at him without blinking, waiting for his answer.
"Am I very smart?" Lin Dong scratched the back of his head and shook his head. "Why don't I feel like it at all!"
"Being too humble is hypocritical!" Fox hugged Lin Dong's arm, just like how a cute person would act coquettishly with him. "Uncle, quickly tell me the truth. Actually, you are a Martian. You just came to Earth not long ago, right? Tell me quietly, and I will keep your secret. I promise not to tell anyone else. Since there are not many people around, just admit it, Uncle! "
"Han!" Lin Dong did not expect Fox to be able to imitate a cute person's voice so well. If he did not look closely, he would have really thought that it was the cute person who had come.
"I know the truth!" Griffon took on the air of an expert, raised his fist, and made a statement. "Actually, the truth is like this. Lord God has opened up his brain because of the genetic medicine! You guys know that the brain is God's forbidden zone. There is an infinite amount of information stored inside. We ordinary people do not even use 10% of it, and all of it is in the cerebral cortex. No one knows anything deeper. In this world, there are many people who are all kinds of geniuses, or should I say, all kinds of partial geniuses. These kinds of people are unimaginable in the eyes of ordinary people, but research has found that they have only developed a part of their brain, and there is such an effect! If there is really a person who can open up their brain, as long as it exceeds 10%, he will be an omniscient and omnipotent superman! "
"Makes sense!" A few female soldiers nodded. For the first time, they felt that Griffon was still within the scope of a normal person, and not a 100% pure clown.
"Is that so?" Fox looked at Lin Dong.
"Maybe!" Lin Dong was too lazy to explain.
"You know how to open up the brain?" Josiah and Eric Jr., who had been eavesdropping, believed it. When they heard Lin Dong say this, they instantly gasped. If that was the case, then wouldn't this Mr. Wood be able to easily create an army of superhumans?
If they had not come to this underground world, then they would not have realized the horror of the "omniscient and omnipotent" ability.
But now.
They absolutely did not dare to deny that this Mr. Wood in front of them indeed had superhuman abilities.
As for the topic of opening up the brain, Lin Dong of course would not admit it. "How is that possible? The brain is God's forbidden zone. It is not a place humans can set foot in. I'm no different from everyone else. It's just that before the question is asked, I'm more calm and observant to find the answer. If it's an IQ test, I might not even be as good as you guys! "
"Trying to lie again!" Fox heard this and laughed. Not only her, but everyone else did not believe it.
However, Lin Dong did not want to discuss this topic, and everyone tactfully did not say anything.
Josiah and Eric Jr. looked at each other.
In their hearts, their evaluation of Mr. Wood, who was known as the Son of Genes, was further enhanced. This was definitely not just a genius scientist who only knew how to develop gene potions, but also a "demigod" who knew how to open up the forbidden zone of the human brain. The former could be made up with the power of science and technology. As for the latter, if they could really create an army of superhumans, then no matter how proud they were of the technology, it would be nothing more than a joke to the army of superhumans!
If this young man was willing to stay, then it was worth paying any price to rope him in!
If he was not willing to stay …
Then, they must use all means to erase him from the world.
If such a person was not controlled by their own hands, then it would be more terrifying than a disaster …
Josiah and Eric Jr. were thinking about their own things. On the other side, Professor Jeffrey's face was also as dark as water. He was originally an extremely outstanding person, the elite of the elites. However, there was a saying that one should not be afraid of comparing goods with goods, only afraid of comparing people with others. He was very outstanding, but in front of Lin Dong, all kinds of shortcomings and clumsiness appeared on his body and were infinitely magnified.
In Professor Jeffrey's heart, for the first time, he felt very humble.
This kind of invisible shame.
It pierced his heart.
"…" Professor Jeffrey looked at Lin Dong. If there was a chance, he definitely did not want this young man to return to the surface.
However, Lin Dong did not seem to notice the slightly gloomy gaze of the other party and walked forward as if nothing had happened. However, Fox and Philip seemed to have noticed something. They stood on the left and right side of Lin Dong, one in the light and one in the dark, forming a small indistinct protective circle.
Half an hour later.
Everyone entered the secret door cave and began a new journey.
After walking in the deep and winding cave for less than ten minutes, they found that the usual statues of the Mayan civilization began to appear on both sides.
"Gold!" A soldier kicked a stone, but when he picked it up, he found that the stone turned out to be gold. His discovery attracted the attention of the soldiers. When these soldiers picked up the stones on the ground and used their daggers to scrape off the dust, they found that the stones all over the ground were all gold, naturally formed nugget gold.
"And the statues, they are also made of gold!" Fox studied for a while, then turned around and smiled at Lin Dong. "If you bring all this gold back, maybe your position as the richest man will change!"
"I don't care about being the richest man. I just hope that there are more things to look forward to." Lin Dong ignored the gold on the ground.
"You mean, there is a bigger surprise waiting for us?" Fox heard this and his eyes lit up.
"Maybe, maybe, maybe there is …" Lin Dong gave such an answer.
"Mr Wood, did you see it from these statues and hieroglyphics?" Philip, who was at the side, suspected that Lin Dong could read the hieroglyphics of the Mayan civilization.
"No, I can't understand what is written on them. I am just guessing. To the Mayans, gold is not the most important thing. Moreover, this is just the periphery of the secret door. There should be more important things in the real core area! "Lin Dong explained.
"I hope it is not just shells! I heard that the most valuable thing of the Mayans are shells. Shells are also their currency for trading! Yes, there is also salt, which is also their treasure! " Griffon's words made everyone laugh. However, after laughing, some people felt that there was such a possibility, especially Professor Jeffery. He was still vaguely worried and hoped that there was not a pile of shells stored inside.
