"You still need a password? Are you kidding me? Let me try. No... the power is gone, there's no need for a password."
Lu Xuan was just thinking about trying his luck, but then he thought, this broken ship has been stranded here for a year or two, the power system has been cut off long ago, and this combination lock is of no use.
"The combination lock is broken? Doesn't that mean we can't get out?"
After hearing what Lu Xuan said, Shen Keyin became even more worried. Why was it so difficult for her to go out now?
"Damn it, I don't believe it. Ke Yin, get out of the way. I'm going to give it a kick."
Lu Xuan took great pains to smash all five cabinets, but he didn't expect that the hidden exit he found was strangled by an old combination lock, leaving him in a dilemma and in great trouble.
Lu Xuan, filled with anger, came up and kicked hard.
Although the kick was powerful, it had no effect on the iron door except for a loud muffled sound and the numbness of his thigh.
“No way…”
Now Lu Xuan was depressed again. There was an iron general guarding the door above, and there was another one coming below?
At first, I had already exhausted my shoulders and hands in trying to push open the hidden door above, but to no avail. Now, even my right leg was blocked by the second door.
Just when Lu Xuan was about to pick up an axe and start another violent demolition, Shen Keyin stopped Lu Xuan in time.
The girl took a step forward, walked to the combination lock, stretched out her right hand and gently turned it. Then the iron door, which had not moved at all after being kicked hard by Lu Xuan, suddenly bounced outward, revealing a gap of about five centimeters.
Obviously, the door is open...
Seeing this scene, Lu Xuan was a little confused.
It turns out that it's a waste of energy to use knives and guns here. I just need to flip the switch lightly and the door will open automatically.
"Ahem, so that's how it is. I thought of that a long time ago. I just wanted to see if this door is sturdy."
In order to cover up the embarrassment caused by his rude behavior, Lu Xuan coughed twice and boasted so much that even a three-year-old kid wouldn't believe it.
"Lu Xuan, water is coming in..."
While Lu Xuan was still posing and bragging, Chen Keyin discovered that a small amount of water was flowing in through the crack in the door.
"Let me see, so that's how it is. This place is very low-lying. Keyin, take care of the things you need to bring. I'll push the door open."
Lu Xuan walked closer and looked out through the crack in the door. He saw not only some sea water, but also some sand. Obviously, the terrain here should be relatively low, so naturally there would be a little sea water mixed with sand flowing along the crack in the door.
But the good news is that not the entire door is covered with sand. The area covered by sand on the outside is only about one-fifth of the height of the iron door.
Shen Keyin was very busy, but it was a pity that this girl only had two hands. She had discovered so many supplies at once, and she could not carry them all by herself.
At this time, Lu Xuan used all his strength and finally pushed the door half open. The other half was blocked by sand, so Lu Xuan couldn't push it anymore. He estimated that the width of 75 centimeters was enough for the two of them to go out, so Lu Xuan left some strength for himself.
I have fought many battles with various objects in this secret space today. I am so tired that I can hardly stand up straight. I don’t want to fight this pile of sand anymore.
"Lu Xuan, we can't take these."
Shen Keyin now has a backpack on his back, a machete in his left hand, a box of precious socket wrenches in his right hand, and a flashlight in his mouth. At that moment, he wishes he could have another object between his legs.
But even so, there is no way to take away everything you want to take away from this house at once.
"Let's take less and go out to explore the way first. We don't know if it's convenient to leave from here."
Lu Xuan quickly took the machete and flashlight from Chen Keyin, then took the lead, stepped out of the big iron gate, and stepped onto the sand outside.
The sand was quite soft because it had been soaked in sea water. Lu Xuan felt like he was going to sink. Fortunately, when his calves sank into it, the resistance from below increased and he did not continue to sink.
"Come, give me your hand. Let's go out first. We can't escape from this place. Once we're settled, we can come back and get it."
It is still uncertain whether he can get out smoothly. Lu Xuan does not want to add more burden to himself. What's more, as long as he can successfully return to the beach, why bother to go through this door? Just move the heavy object pressing on the hidden door in the cabin, and everything will be fine.
After hearing this, Shen Keyin nodded obediently and extended her right hand to Lu Xuan. With Lu Xuan's assistance, the two finally escaped from the hidden space where they had been locked up for a long time.
Stepping on the soft sand, the two of them saw the outside world again...
But due to all this busyness, it was already late outside, and most of the setting sun had already sunk into the turbulent sea. The afterglow from the west poured down like molten gold, dyeing the sky an orange-red, which gradually transitioned to a deep blue-purple. The gradation of colors was breathtakingly beautiful.
The sea surface is sparkling, as if countless tiny diamonds are jumping. Every time the waves hit, there is a fine and crisp sound, which is interwoven with the low cry of seagulls in the distance to form a melodious evening melody.
Although the scenery is beautiful, Lu Xuan faces a big problem. It’s getting dark, how can he get back?
The two of them staggered, relying on the dim beam of light cast by the small flashlight in their hands, and weaved around again, finally returning to this familiar beach.
But by this time, the sky had completely sunk into the embrace of night. The sun had quietly retreated, and the moon seemed to have not yet started working. Only a few stars twinkled silently overhead, embellishing the boundless night sky with their gentle and faint light.
"Ah, haha... Lu Xuan, are we... going back?"
Looking at the dark sky and the cold sea breeze blowing into her neck from time to time, Shen Keyin couldn't help but sneeze.
"It's too risky to go back. It's not safe to go back through the rock face or the detour. We will stay in the cabin tonight and set off again at dawn tomorrow."
Lu Xuan thought for a moment and decided to give up the night journey for safety reasons.
"Okay then... where do we sleep?"
When Shen Keyin heard that she and Lu Xuan were going to spend the night on the boat, she suddenly remembered Yin Yichen's words.
That...boat
shock……
Then, the girl quickly shook her head and tried hard to throw away the dirty thoughts.
But when the two of them re-entered the cabin and found that it was a little bumpy due to the sea breeze, this thought came to their mind again...
