The iron wire peeked out from the crack of the door, twisting left and right a few times. It looked quite excited, just like a dog that was about to go out and play. However, it did not forget what it was supposed to do. Soon, it began to look for the keyhole.
Everyone in the house heard the sound of the iron wire scratching the door. After about half a minute, the iron wire seemed to have found the position of the door lock. It poked it in and fiddled with it for a while. After that, the locked door was finally opened with a click. The young man then put the iron wire back into his pocket proudly.
He was about to reach out and push the door open, but he was stopped by the repairman. "We don't know what's going on outside. Should we discuss what to do if we encounter a battle later?"
"What's there to be afraid of? We have Simon on our side," the young man said confidently. "No matter what enemies are out there, we will just destroy them."
Zhang Heng initially thought that the repairman would refute him. He did not expect the latter to nod in agreement. "It makes sense."
"…"
Fortunately, Kratos was more reliable. He frowned and said, "Stop talking nonsense. If you want to chase after a star, wait until we get out of here." After a pause, he said to Zhang Heng, "I don't mean to offend you."
"No, you are right," Zhang Heng said as he took off the Pestilence Bone Bow from his back.
With him taking the lead, the others also got ready for battle. After that, Zhang Heng nodded to the young man, and the latter reached out and pushed the door open.
The young man was obviously a veteran. Although he claimed that Simon was the best in the world, he knew that he had to worry about his own life. After he pushed the door open, he immediately dodged to the side.
Zhang Heng stood on the left side of the door. After he opened the door, he raised the Pestilence Bone Bow and aimed in front of him. He saw a small balcony, and a man in a white coat was standing on the balcony, looking down. He seemed to be checking the equipment below.
When he heard the door open, he raised his head and looked at the seven people.
Many thoughts flashed through Zhang Heng's mind at this moment. In the end, before the man on the balcony looked at him, Zhang Heng quietly put the Pestilence Bone Bow behind him. After that, he heard the man on the opposite side shouting something at him.
Zhang Heng didn't understand Russian, but he could tell from the man's expression that he wasn't calling for the guards or anyone else. He was just a little surprised to see him here.
"What should we do? Should we head out?" the subdued youth asked in a low voice.
"Well, three of you should go out and check out the situation. Four of you should stay in the house," Zhang Heng said.
After that, he walked out of the small house with the young man in the zhan-uniform and Kratos. Finally, they could see more of the scenery outside the house.
This was indeed a common building layout in a factory. Looking around, there were concrete walls and iron frames, and some machinery and equipment. However, the most eye-catching thing was the bottom of the factory. There was a huge round cover with a diameter of about 15 meters. The amazing thing was that the cover was not constructed as a whole, but was divided into small cubes. There were about 2,000 cubes, and this number was calculated from the number of rows and columns marked on the side. Other cubes were painted in different colors and marked with other numbers.
"What is that?" The subdued youth asked.
"I don't know. Is it some kind of trap maze?" Kratos guessed.
Those stainless steel cubes looked like the small cubes in the Huarong Road games that they played before. It was inevitable that Kratos would think of something like that. Other than that, she also noticed that there was an office on the left, opposite the balcony. Through the glass window, she could see two staff members inside, and they were all the people in the factory.
There were no guards that the players were worried about, and they didn't even encounter any decent armed forces. The seven of them seemed to be continuing their good luck when they first entered the game.
"Is that all they have?" the subdued youth asked eagerly. "Give me three minutes, and I can take them all down."
"I only need two and a half minutes," Kratos said calmly.
"How is that possible? They are quite a distance away from each other." The subdued youth was unconvinced. "It will take us quite some time to get there. Speaking of which, it seems like we are indeed in the factory's production workshop. No wonder there are no security guards around. However, why don't I see any workers? Is the SL production level in the 20th century really that high?"
Just as the two of them were whispering to each other, the man on the balcony opposite shouted a few more words. However, the three fake foreigners in white clothes did not know how to reply to him. Of course, they could not give him any answers. So, the man on the balcony shouted a few times, but no one responded to him. He had no choice but to walk over to them.
"I'll take him down. You go and deal with the two in the office," Kratos assigned the task.
"Why should I?" The subdued youth was dissatisfied with the arrangement. "You need to run a few steps to get to the office. Besides, who knows if there's an alarm button inside? If you fail and alert the people inside, I'll be the one to take the blame."
"What else can you do? You don't want to deal with these small fries. Do you want your idol, Simon, to deal with them?"
"Of course not. I'll be the one to do it," the subdued youth said hurriedly. However, after a while, he came back to his senses. "Wait, didn't we assign the task to each other?"
"You are really annoying," Kratos said impatiently. "I asked you to do something, and you're still nagging me? Why don't we switch places? Do you have a way to control the guy who came over? Don't let him make any noise and alert the two people behind the glass window?"
The subdued youth was speechless. In the end, he had no choice but to look at Zhang Heng for help. However, he found that Zhang Heng had been staring at the big iron lid below.
"Is there a problem?" the subdued youth asked.
"Oh, I'm wondering what this workshop produces," Zhang Heng said.
"What does it produce? Speaking of which, it does seem to be a problem. " The subdued youth was also curious. "Although there are a few machines here, why are they installed against the wall? There's only a big manhole cover in the middle. Could it be that the production line is below?"
When he said that, there was a sudden tremor under his feet. After that, the entire "factory" shook as well. The three of them found that the metal cubes underground had suddenly moved, and they began to jump like the lid of a kettle that had been popped by boiling water.
At first, there were only a few of them, but soon, almost all of them were jumping up and down crazily. The round lid now looked like a distorted human face.
