Chapter 47: The Secret Passage
"Victory is always reserved for the prepared side." This quote is a wise saying. After all, a reasonable plan and sufficient preparation can indeed increase a lot of winning chips, but under the situation that the difference in strength between the two sides is too large, no matter how good the plan is, no matter how much preparation there is, it will only be in vain, unless some factors against the sky exist......
βTerry's Autobiography, Vol. 26
In the dark and damp storage room, piles of digging tools like broken copper and iron were piled up in a corner, and the food that was originally stored here had long been cleaned up by Sean and them, so the storage room looked empty at this time.
"Where is the passage entrance? You go and turn it on, hoping you don't cheat, unless you can outspeed a bullet. β
When Terry escorted the second master to the storage room, in the second master's eyes as if he had seen a ghost, the strange military spur in Terry's hand suddenly disappeared, but a strange style of firearm appeared.
Although this firearm looks a little short, the metallic luster of the black and faint body of the gun, as well as the precise construction of the entire gun body, make the second master have no doubt that this is a terrible weapon.
"Little... Little sir, I don't dare ...... But I can't open ......."
"What, you're kidding me, aren't you?"
"No, no, sir! How dare I, it's just that the opening switch of this secret door is not on this side, and I really can't open it now. β
Seeing Terry's gloomy face because of anger, the second master was simply frightened, but he really didn't lie this time, although there was indeed a secret door here, but the purpose of digging this passage was not to escape, but to facilitate the capture of the fortress after it was occupied, so the switch of the secret passage was on the other side.
After listening to the explanation of the second master, Terry couldn't help but secretly rejoice at this moment, glad that they had eliminated the big boss who went out before occupying this fortress, if it wasn't for that, I am afraid that if someone sneaks up through this secret passage, the defenseless side at the beginning is estimated to suffer heavy casualties.
"Is there anything else you can do?"
Although he knew that the second master should not dare to lie at this time, Terry still asked by luck.
"Little Chief, spare my life, I really can't open it, but I know that this storage room was dug out of a huge stone, and if Little Commander has explosives, he can blow open the door of the secret passage."
Seeing Terry's unhappy eyes, the second master knelt down and kowtowed like pounding garlic, and he didn't know if it was thought of earlier, or if he was in a hurry, he actually gave a suggestion that seemed feasible.
"Explode?"
After looking at the structure of the entire storage room, it is true that as the second master said, this small storage room is carved out of a boulder, and such a solid stone wall is indeed not easy to be blown down.
Seeing that the method worked, Terry's eyes lit up, it might be difficult to say something else, but as a person with the infinite arsenal of the system, a little explosives is simply not a thing.
"Okay, then I'll trust you once, you go and point out the location of the secret passage, find me a little bit, if anything goes wrong, hum!"
In fact, there was no need for Terry to threaten again, and at this time, the second master did not dare to have any concealment, walked to a stone wall in the storage room, and then raised his head and looked carefully for a while, and then turned to Terry and said:
"Little sir, I found it, right on here."
Looking in the direction of the second master's finger, Terry finally understood why he, Sean and the others hadn't noticed anything unusual here before.
It turned out that the entrance to this secret passage was not at the level of the ground, but on the wall more than two meters above the ground.
At this moment, under the light of the torches, a circle of not very obvious gaps on the wall that seemed a little blurry reflected in Terry's eyes, looking at the location of the secret door, Terry finally understood why this storage room was designed so high.
"It seems that this Yuswen didn't panic."
Finding a piece of debris and tiptoeing, Terry carefully inspected it, and pushed the secret door with his hand, sure enough, as the second master said, there should be a deadbolt on the other side, Terry used eighty percent of his strength and still didn't move.
Now that the location of the secret door has been discovered, the next step is simple, escort the second master back to the dungeon, and then tell Major General Oplar about the situation.
"Terry, my boy, but none of us know how to explode?"
Although I didn't know that Major General Oprah only mentioned that there was no Demoman, and he didn't seem to consider the issue of explosives, but at this time, Terry didn't think about it so much, and secretly communicated with the system in his heart, and after getting the system's affirmation, Terry asked Major General to let him try it.
"I trust you, kid, but be careful."
Trery's request for instructions from Major General Rear Admiral didn't seem to be surprised, but he still explained with concern.
"Don't worry, General, Terry promises to complete the mission. However, when it detonates, it is estimated that the sound will be very loud, so please avoid it, general. β
If there was a systematic help, if Terry still messed up this matter, he would simply find a piece of tofu and kill him, so seeing that the Major General agreed to his request, Terry confidently gave the Major General a military salute and ran back to the storage room alone.
Terry, who strode away, didn't notice it at all, and after he turned around, the Major General's eyes did not leave the MP5 submachine gun he was carrying behind his back, and it was not until his figure disappeared around the corner of the passage that the Major General's eyes full of connotation were retracted.
"Boy favored by the god of fate, I hope you don't disappoint me, but I have to find an opportunity to quietly remind him that if this secret is known to those old guys, I don't know what kind of trouble will be made."
Of course Terry didn't know what the major general was thinking, otherwise he would have been shocked at this time, he didn't expect that his biggest secret had already been discovered by the major general.
A boxy solid that feels a little soft to the touch on one side and a very strong metal on the other.
According to the method explained by the system, Terry carefully tore the soft side of the sealing paper, and then took out a detonator the thickness of chopsticks and gently inserted it into the solid prefabricated hole.
After doing all this, Chen Rui carefully pasted the directional explosives in his hand to the center of the secret door.
The side that tore the seal had a very strong stickiness, and when Terry's hand let go of the directional explosive, the palm-sized explosive was firmly glued to the secret door.
It was a piece of directional explosives that had been detonated with an electric detonator, so after securing the directional explosives, Terry slowly pulled a long wire out of the storage room.
Following the system's instructions, Terry pulled the wire all the way to the corner of the dungeon doorway, and then inserted the two copper wires of the wire into the detonator in turn.
Due to Terry's explanation, the dungeon was empty at this time, Terry first stuffed two balls of cotton into his ears, then opened his mouth wide, half-crouched in the corner, hesitated for a second or so, and then Terry pressed the detonator in his hand fiercely.
"Boom"
In this confined space, the sound of directional explosives blasting does become very loud, and when the roaring sound waves are over, billowing smoke and dust follow.
"I wonder if it will work?"
When the explosion was completed, Terry, who was originally very confident, became a little unconfident, after all, this was the first time he had completed the explosion, so before the billowing smoke and dust dissipated, Terry rushed into the storage room.
