Chapter 45: I'll Pick the Lock
"Boy, you're going to bargain!" One of the men put on a faceless face at Cao Yin, "Brother Lin is kind enough to let you go, you still dare to fight those crooked ideas, you are really bold enough, Brother Lin, this kid is not a fuel-efficient lamp at first glance, why don't you discount his legs first and then let him lead the way?" ”
"No," Lin Xinran waved his hand and said, "The eight of us are all rifles, not burning sticks, do we need to worry about what kind of storm he will set off?" ”
"Yes, what Brother Lin said is right," Cao Yin said, "I'm just coveting Li Yehua's hidden trading goods, and I'm kind enough to help you lead the way, and it's not too much to get a reward, right?" ”
"Boy, pay attention to your position," one of them shouted, "what do you think you are, Lao Tzu can shoot you right now, and a mere hostage dares to ask us for payment, it's really unbelievable!" ”
"Do any of you know how to open a safe?" Cao Yin ignored the man's scolding and asked, "The items obtained by Li Yehua's trade are placed in a metal safe, and it is estimated that there are many fragile injections in it, if you open them with brute force, those things may break, and if there are volatile and highly toxic drugs, it is estimated that everyone present will die." ”
"How do you know there's a potion in it?" Lin Xinran asked.
"There is a woman in that warehouse who helps Li Yehua take care of these materials," Cao Yin said, "She told me that the injections in it are rarer than the zombie vaccine, it seems to be called SZK injections, have you heard of it?" ”
There was a subtle change in everyone's expressions, a look of surprise and envy, and most of them looked at Lin Xinran in unison.
Although Lin Xinran's expression did not fluctuate violently, Cao Yin still read the excitement that could not be concealed from his eyes, and the corners of his raised mouth twitched slightly.
"This bearded man can't be also an awakened person after being infected with radiation, right?" Cao Yin secretly said that Su Moli, the middleman of the transaction, had told himself before he died that those so-called SZK injections were quality enhancers specially developed for those awakened people with blood deformities.
"Let's go, let's take a look at the scene first, Cao Yin, you lead the way," Lin said happily, "If it's really a safe, let's move it back to the bishop's building first and then make plans." ”
Everyone marched towards the hardware store under the leadership of Cao Yin, and after about a quarter of an hour, several people arrived at the door of the hardware store, and they saw the zombie remains that were dismembered by Li Yehua with "ninety-nine strings" and a large area of black blood, their faces became ugly.
A few guys who were blowing water and along the way also consciously closed their mouths, perhaps because the smell of corpses around them was really smelly, and they all consciously covered their mouths and noses with their hands, for fear of taking an extra breath of rancid air.
Cao Yin pinched his nose and looked around, there were piles of zombie remains all over here, they seemed to be faintly diffusing a faint black gas, this black gas shrouded all the corpses, Cao Yin thought it was caused by his dizziness, so he didn't care.
Lin Xinran saw that the small door of the roller shutter door was not closed, so he leaned against the door and pointed to the inside of the door, and whispered: "Don't relax your vigilance when you go inside, carefully confirm that there are no other enemies before taking things, let Cao Yin go in first, and you will follow behind him." ”
One of the guys roughly pushed Cao Yin in front of everyone and asked him to continue to lead the way in the room, Cao Yin said: "There is no enemy here, you are still so young with guns, I will not be as cringed as you when I come here alone." ”
"Less nonsense, I'll cut out your tongue if you talk more!"
Cao Yin remembered that his tongue had been bitten off by himself once, but after being sutured with a healing string, it was basically no big problem, but it would be a dull pain when he spoke, and now it must have healed to the point of not leaving ten.
Cao Yin took this group of people up to the second floor, and the safe was quietly placed in the corner of the room on the second floor, originally he thought that Su Moli's body would still be on the floor, but now it disappeared inexplicably, Cao Yin suddenly panicked, which means that someone had entered this room last night, and also moved Su Moli's body.
"Who did this?" Cao Yin was very surprised and uneasy, why did he have to take away Su Moli's body, but the metal safe didn't seem to have been moved, that safe was obviously the most important, could it be that Su Moli lied to himself, there were no rare injections in this safe at all?
"There is actually a bloodstain here," Lin Xinran also went upstairs at this time, he glanced around the room, his eyes locked on the safe placed in the corner, pointed to it and asked, "Cao Yin, this is the safe that Li Yehua used to hide the trading goods you said, right?" ”
"That's right, it's this safe," Cao Yin replied, "The bloodstain on the floor was left by that Li Yehua's helper, Su Moli, whose body had fallen here before, but now it's gone, I'm sure that the woman has been killed by me." ”
"You mean she turned into a zombie and walked away on her own?"
"I didn't mean that, so it's weird," Cao Yin said, "who would move a corpse, it doesn't make any sense at all!" ”
"How did you kill her?"
"Shot, and shot in the head at close range," Cao Yin touched his chin and muttered, "Could it be that she is also immortal, it can't be such a coincidence?" ”
"Cao Yin, can you go a little farther, you are not dead, even if you are a zombie, you will be finished if you are hit by a bullet in the brain," one of them said, "But look at the color of this bloodstain, it is really left from last night." ”
"Believe it or not," Cao Yin said, "I'm not here to discuss this with you, are you going to move this safe directly or just open it here?" ”
"Why don't you just open it here, who will move such a heavy thing!"
"Tell me how to open it?"
"Shoot and use bullets to break the lock, don't you get it, if one shot is not enough, two shots!" One of them said, "I won't smash the lock with a hammer." ”
"It doesn't work, the current mechanical safes are all double-lock structures, if you violently destroy the lock, the double-lock device will be triggered, and the inner lock will lock the safe, and it will be even more difficult to open at that time," Lin Xinran stroked the safe, "And just like Cao Yin said, it is possible to shatter the things inside." ”
"Yes, you guys are so brainy, don't you just run for nothing if something breaks!" Cao Yin said.
"Why don't you move back, I remember that there seems to be a welding machine in the warehouse in the Bishop's Building, and someone has been fiddling with it before, but it doesn't work without electricity."
"If you don't have electricity, you still have to find a generator?"
"You can look for it, there may be shopping malls, hotels, office buildings and hospitals nearby, and there will definitely be generators in the municipal institutions, after all, they are emergency facilities," Lin said happily, "If you really can't find it, just put it on hold." ”
"Okay, let's move this safe back first, so that no one else will steal it!"
At this time, Cao Yin raised his hand and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, I have a more convenient means, I can open it now, and there is no risk of the transaction being destroyed." ”
"What can you do, tell me about it!" Everyone looked at Cao Yin together, mostly with suspicious eyes.
Cao Yin pulled out the knife and said, "Although it is not 100% successful, I think there is a great chance." ”
"You're not going to pick the lock with that knife, do you think it's a drawer lock?"
"Hehe, this kid's head is funny."
"Ahem," Cao Yin shrugged and said, "I said there is a way, but it may not be successful, but if it succeeds, the contents must be shared with me, if you have no opinion, then I will try, if you are not happy, then I don't care." ”
"No problem," Lin Xinran looked at Cao Yin playfully, and said, "I'm also curious if you have any clever means, if you open it, you can pick a few things inside." ”
"A word is a certainty," Cao Yin said, "Big brother, don't cross the river and tear down the bridge, little brother, I'll open it for you." ”
"We won't be so insidious," Lin Xinran gave Cao Yin the position in front of the safe, and said with a smile, "The premise is that you can open it, if you can't open it, don't be delusional." ”
Cao Yin cut his fingers with a knife at this time, and then put his hand on the cipher plate, and the dark red blood coagulated into countless filaments that slowly drilled out of the wound, and then drilled into the lock cylinder through the gap in the cipher disk.
Cao Yin also just thought of this method, the dense touch strings can expand the tactile sensation on the surface of the skin into a three-dimensional state, so as to fully understand the mechanism structure of the combination lock.
This process took Cao Yin nearly ten minutes, and everyone looked at Cao Yin with disdain, and some were still sneering and waiting for the moment when Cao Yin gave up, because he just put his hand on the password plate and didn't make any movements, but closed his eyes as if he was seriously thinking about something.
"This kid shouldn't have figured out the password, hehe!"
"If he wants to have this ability, he will be caught by us, you can pull it down!"
"Later, if he can't open this safe, let's teach him a good lesson, and see if he dares to tease us!"
Cao Yin suddenly opened his eyes, let out a long sigh of relief, and said secretly: "It turns out that the mechanical combination lock is such a structure, and it is not very difficult!" ”
The principle of operation of the mechanical combination lock of this safe is very simple, if you rotate the roulette wheel according to the code, you can make the grooves on the inner several concentric wheels align in order, forming a long gap, so that the gear lever that ties the cabinet door slides into the gap formed by several wheels under the action of gravity, so that the embolism of the gear lever is lifted, and the safe door can be opened.
"The next step is to manually control the wheels with the 'flying strings'." Cao Yin removed his hand from the roulette wheel, and cut a cut on the other palm, and four dark red filaments drilled into the lock cylinder from the wound, but because it was very thin, everyone didn't see it, they only felt strange why Cao Yin was hurting himself again, but there was no blood.
Cao Yin's two palms are half an arm's distance from the cipher plate, and after the "flying string" successfully sticks to several concentric wheels, Cao Yin slightly moves to control the fingers of the "flying string", and drives the rotation of the wheels by expanding and contracting the length of the flying string with his mind, so that the grooves of each wheel are rotated to the angle of exactly aligning the upper gear lever.
"The first wheel was done...... The second ...... Three ......" Cao Yin closed his eyes and focused on sensing the mechanical transmission inside the lock, this precise and complex operation made him sweat on his head and his whole body began to heat up.
Everyone looked dumbfounded, and they found that Cao Yin's two hands were completely detached from the password disk of the safe, but the password disk itself was "clicking" and rotating, as if it was controlled by the power of reading.
"Fourth, Bingo!" Cao Yin shook the one hand of the "flying string", only to hear a crisp mechanical sound of "click", and the door of the safe gradually opened outward, revealing to everyone the many items that Li Yehua had hidden.
