Lin Fan pulled out two long swords from his arm armor.
After thinking for a moment, he inserted the short dagger at the handle and twisted it with his hands to form a spear more than two meters long.
"If you ask me, the Xingchen weapon is also rare." Xue Ping rubbed his chin and commented, "Its form is really changeable. It can be long or short, and can be used for both attack and defense. Add to that the tailored training of the senior brother, wow... it's amazing!"
John Woo didn't bother to pay attention to him, his eyes fixed on the stars.
She took a few steps back, her right hand gripping one end of the spear and pulling it back, her other hand holding the middle. She staggered her feet forward and backward, her body lowered slightly, and she assumed a posture of "four barbarians submitting."
The people watching from behind held their breath.
Not a single sound could be heard in the huge, brightly lit corridor.
Xingchen remained motionless, and no one knew what he was brewing.
Just when everyone felt they couldn't catch their breath, everything blurred.
Wu Yusen and Xue Ping barely saw Xingchen twist his waist and push off the ground with his hind legs, while sending the gun out at the same time.
Everyone seemed to hear a sharp whistling of the wind, but before they could hear it clearly, they heard a muffled "bang" sound, and the silver-white spear had penetrated the stone gate, leaving only half of it outside.
"Woohoo!" The staff waiting at the back all high-fived happily.
Wu Yusen was not as optimistic as them. He walked to Xingchen and looked up and asked, "How is it?"
Xingchen's weapon was even harder than her armor, and coupled with her immense strength, the spear only penetrated halfway. This showed just how hard the stone gate truly was.
"Not bad. Not as difficult as I imagined." Lin Fan walked to the front, grasped the exposed gun barrel, and pulled it out.
Unable to pull the spear out with one hand, he used both hands, putting his body weight on the stone door and rocking it up and down and left and right until a shallow crack appeared on the stone door. The hole left a small gap, and the spear was finally pulled out.
Lin Fan almost lost his balance due to inertia and fell backwards.
Fortunately, he used the gun to push back and moved one foot back in time to save Xingchen's image.
"It's not that easy." She breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the non-existent sweat from her forehead, making a harsh "crunching" sound.
"Well, don't come over here yet. I'll go take a look." In order to hide the embarrassment, Lin Fan waved his hand to let John Woo and others step back.
The gun had been pulled out, leaving a hole about seven or eight centimeters in diameter on the stone door, with scattered cracks extending from the middle to both sides, which were the marks left by the gun tip.
The whole hole was pitch black and I couldn't see what was behind it.
Lin Fan lowered his head and bent his waist, looking inside the cave with his green eyes.
The green fluorescence that the eyes originally emitted seemed to be ineffective here.
Lin Fan looked for a while, but his vision was still dark and he couldn't see anything clearly.
After a long time, I began to feel a little bit of fear.
After all, you usually don't see anything interesting when you look through a doorway in a movie...
"Can you see anything?" Xue Ping's voice came from behind.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to stand up, walk away from the door, and walk towards the crowd. "No. I can't see anything. But it doesn't seem like there's anything dangerous."
She wasn't scared, she just didn't find anything. Lin Fan consoled himself.
"Kids, take over!" Xue Ping waved his hand like he was singing an opera.
The staff who had been waiting for a long time rushed forward, just like the scene of grabbing food in the cafeteria.
Lin Fan watched them busily and orderly push several thin wire-like things into the hole. After a while, an image appeared on the monitor next to him.
"Got it, got it!" The operator's joyful voice attracted everyone over.
"Nothing?" Everyone looked at the black screen, confused.
"The imaging is normal," the operator confirmed after checking various settings. "It's just dark inside."
"Didn't the light source get in?" Xue Ping asked.
"It was sent in." Another staff member replied. "Could it be broken?"
He pulled out the cable in his hand, and everyone could see that the small LED light on the top was working properly.
"Could it be that it wasn't delivered to the right place?" he muttered, pushing the lamp in his hand again.
This time they gave me an extra cable, and even when the 3-meter cable reached the end, the monitor was still dark.
Just as everyone was wondering if the light had gone in the wrong direction along a fork in the road, another staff member reported.
"Captain Xue, the air quality has been detected."
"Speak!" Xue Ping's attention was instantly diverted.
"No harmful toxic gases were detected." The staff member first announced the good news. "Based on the data we've measured so far, the air is relatively dry, with low humidity and oxygen content, making it unsuitable for direct entry."
"I understand." Xue Ping nodded.
It is normal for the oxygen in a confined space to be thin, and it is good as long as there are no toxic or harmful gases.
He raised his hand and turned on the intercom, asking the people above to prepare more oxygen cylinders. He also ordered the people at the door to send in another light source.
After the third light source was sent in, everyone finally discovered in dismay that the problem might not be with the light source, but with some light-absorbing material inside, making it impossible to see clearly no matter how many lights they sent in.
This is also the reason why even if you look at the stars very closely, you can still see nothing.
"Light-absorbing material?" Lin Fan had not yet switched back from the star state. Perhaps because he was standing high, the sound reflected back and forth in the passage, producing a slight echo.
"Yes. Generally, when light shines on an object, it will form another transmission outside the object, and produce certain mapping and reflection for objects of different materials." Xue Ping explained.
Lin Fan nodded, she understood this.
"Light-absorbing materials have special material properties. When light shines on them, they will not form these transmission, reflection, or reflections. They will only absorb the light when it shines on them, and then diffusely reflect part of it, forming a relatively small illuminated area."
Xue Ping roughly ruffled his hair, turning it into a mess. "There's light-absorbing material here... Heh."
Lin Fan didn't know what he was talking about, but it didn't sound like a good thing, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, even if I ask her, she probably won't understand...
Xue Ping turned around a few times in annoyance.
John Woo did not interrupt casually.
When Xue Ping's head was as confused as a chicken coop, he finally made up his mind. He gave a series of orders to the intercom and the staff at the door, and finally looked at Lin Fan.
"I'd like to trouble you to break the door open as much as possible." Xue Ping felt that instead of groping in the dark through a hole, it would be better to open all the doors first and then see.
Maybe things weren't as he expected?
The air indicators inside were already indicating that no living creatures would survive, but he still asked people to bring defensive weapons down, just in case.
No matter what is inside, since the stars can break through the door, it proves that "fate" has arrived.
They must go in and take a closer look!
