Chapter 181: Don't Let Them Out
"I understand what you mean, but don't say it out loud yet." Chen Ke whispered.
Diana nodded, but at the same time she was also surprised by Chen Ke's calmness at the moment. As an agent of the Administration, she herself could not be as calm as Chen Ke now.
"You don't seem to be in a hurry." Diana asked in a joking tone.
Chen Ke was stunned, and then he realized whether he was too calm and did not behave like an ordinary person. He had to smile and perfunctorily said: "I am heartless, and there is no point in being anxious now. Let's go and see what's going on over there with Sam."
Diana patted Chen Ke's shoulder and walked towards Sam. Chen Ke successfully attracted her attention to other places.
But to be honest, Chen Ke was not as calm as he looked. Although he knew that he had the ability to open a portal, that door could not be opened whenever he wanted.
To open the door, you need to consume a soul. Chen Ke now only has Lin Mo's soul, which cannot be used. Before encountering a monster of sufficient level, he has no soul available.
Moreover, if this place is really the Great Void or something else... he would have to be forced to use psychic power. If he was surrounded by ordinary people, it would be fine. He could lie to them that he was from the Administration, but what a coincidence, there was Diana next to him.
If it hadn't happened, he wouldn't have known that Diana was actually an agent of the Administration. It seems that she was from the CPA department...
Chen Ke only knew the CIA. Isn't CPA a certified public accountant? It seems that the P should mean Psychic energy. There are psychics in this world, so it's not strange to set up a Central Psychic Intelligence Bureau specifically for this purpose.
However, since Diana is a psychic agent, why does she use an ordinary pistol? Chen Ke looked at the revolver in his hand, a little puzzled. And from beginning to end, Diana never showed her psychic power.
On second thought, would she carry a device that can detect holy objects...? Chen Ke was not only a little worried, but he was carrying a bunch of holy diamonds...
Looking at Diana's back, she was walking towards Sam, and Chen Ke became defensive against her.
"Okay, Jack, your name is Jack, right? Your occupation is... insurance salesman?" Sam was talking to a white guy.
He was trying to find some people with special occupations among the survivors to see if they could form an emergency team.
The blue-collar workers who are usually inconspicuous and unwelcome, such as couriers, plumbers, etc., are more useful in this situation, while the skills mastered by the management are useless.
"Sam, what are you going to do?" Diana asked.
"I plan to form an action team of about six to ten people, and then find a way to pry the door open and go out to see the situation first." Sam said.
"What if the situation outside is as bad as here?" Chen Ke came over and joined the topic.
"If it's really bad, the Marines will come to deal with it. If things really get to this point, my guess is that there is only a war." Sam said.
"It may also be a large-scale psychic explosion. There are many black boxes in the City of Opportunity, although it is unlikely." Diana spread her hands. This time, she only moved her right arm.
"I think you are all too pessimistic. Let's try to open the door first. Let's see what the specific situation is before making a plan." Chen Ke said.
The other two nodded. There was no point in making random guesses here.
Chen Ke squeezed through the crowd, walked up the stairs, and came to the roller shutter door at the end of the stairs. The closed roller shutter door of the subway is not like a hardware store or a street store. It is very difficult to force it open.
He looked up and down, observing the door, trying to find a breakthrough point.
In fact, a burst of psychic energy for 1 hour should be able to push the door open, but with Diana there, he would not expose himself.
If they can escape, will Diana keep a secret for them after returning? Chen Ke thought not, because he and Diana were not so close.
Sam also came to Chen Ke and studied the door together. He hammered it and found that the material and thickness of the roller shutter door exceeded his expectations.
"Seriously, is this a roller shutter door? It feels like a wall when knocked." Sam looked at Chen Ke in surprise.
"I don't know. Rolling doors are usually not so hard, but this one is obviously different." Chen Ke commented.
Although this door was also severely corroded and looked very old, it felt very solid.
Chen Ke looked up. Rolling doors usually have a large box to hide the rolled-up door. Obviously, the box is either outside the door or embedded in the wall.
He suddenly had an idea and jumped up and patted the upper part of the door, making a bang bang bang sound.
"Look, the upper part feels empty." Chen Ke said.
Sam also tried to knock. He didn't need to jump. He was 1.9 meters tall.
"Yes, there must be a lot of things piled up behind this door, blocking it..." Sam said.
Blocked... Chen Ke subconsciously thought of something, but didn't say it.
Sam saw that Chen Ke's expression was strange, and couldn't help asking: "You seem to have thought of something."
"Look, this subway station gives people the feeling that it has been abandoned for many years..." Chen Ke reminded.
"I know what you mean. We may have accidentally come to an abandoned subway line." Sam said.
"You can understand it this way, but the relationship between this matter and the door is that the door was blocked from the outside." Chen Ke pointed out.
Sam looked up at the ceiling, frowned and thought for two seconds, then looked at Chen Ke in surprise. Chen Ke knew that he understood, so he nodded.
Since the door was blocked from the outside, it can only mean that there are some strange things under the subway station, and people don't want to let them out.
"Are there those red clay people here too?" Sam said cautiously.
"Maybe. So we'd better be careful and move lightly, don't make too much noise, so as not to alarm things that shouldn't be provoked." Chen Ke whispered.
Sam's black face was full of a serious and somewhat frightened expression, and he nodded carefully.
He was just a ranger, not a psychic, so he had never dealt with monsters, and he was still a little scared when encountering such things.
Of course, Chen Ke knew very well that there were no maggots nearby, but he was also sure that the maggots would not only exist at the previous station. There were always a few platforms on the long subway line that were not blocked by glass walls, and these maggots would definitely move along the tunnel.
But even so, Chen Ke did not think that the people above would go to great lengths to block the subway station to stop these weaklings.
Military flamethrowers, which can kill people within 100 meters, are more than enough to deal with such things with the power of the national army, not to mention the "supermen" who can end the war.
There must be something more terrifying in this subway tunnel, prompting the people above to give up fighting it. Even so, this blockade method seems too naive.
Chen Ke can only think that the situation above has reached a point where they have run out of ammunition and food.
In any case, opening this door is a top priority. I don't know what the situation is outside, but it is definitely not advisable to stay below for a long time.
"Sam, help me, let's see if we can push down the things outside through the door." Chen Ke said.
