Bringing The Farm To Live In Another World

Chapter 2183: Secret Passage Discovered

Ling Feng waved his hand and said, “Alright, both of you can stop being polite. Li Mu, tell me about the situation. How many Green Zombie Gang members are still resisting?”

Hearing Ling Feng, Li Mu quickly replied, “Senior Brother, the Green Zombie Gang are basically eliminated. Only a small number of people are left resisting.”

Hearing this, Li Mu nodded and said, “Good. We’ll walk through the city to see if there are any fishes that managed to slip through.”

Li Mu shook his head and said, “There’s no use. There are almost no Green Zombie Gang members remaining in the outskirts of the city. Only the inner city has some resistance left.”

Ling Fend smiled and said, “You really know how to boast. Even if you said that, we still ran into a Green Zombie Gang member. So don’t dare tell us that there are no people left in the outer parts.”

Hearing this, Li Mu couldn’t help but frown as he replied, “Really? Senior Brother Ling, we have searched the city several times. If you ran into someone, it’s possible that they used a secret passage. We need to look more carefully.”

When Lin Feng heard this, he couldn’t help but stare for a moment. Then his expression turned serious as he said, “So it’s like that. Good, then we’ll go back immediately.” After saying that, he turned his horse around and hurried towards the location where Zhao Hai fought the Green Zombie Gang member.

Zhao Hai and the others also followed behind. Before long, they arrived at the location of the battle. Then the group went to the place the Green Zombie Gang member appeared from.

The courtyard wasn’t big. Moreover, it looked like every other courtyard. It was so simple that people wouldn’t spare it a glance. Seeing the courtyard, Zhao Hai and the others couldn’t help but be even more worried. Places like these were very easy to ignore.

With a serious voice, Ling Feng said, “Search it for me. I want to see the secrets behind this courtyard.” The group complied and immediately looked around the courtyard.

Zhao Hai also looked around the courtyard. The courtyard was too simple. Most importantly, the items in the courtyard were cleaned deliberately, which was abnormal. But because of how it was set up, the people from the Ghost Child Gang only glanced at it without suspecting anything.

Only after carefully looking could one see differences. This difference was what made Ling Feng and the others worried. This was because everything was too clean. There were almost no traces inside the courtyard. They were unable to find any clues.

It didn’t take long before Zhao Hai explored the whole courtyard. The courtyard was small. One could see everything in a very small time. Despite this, Zhao Hai and the others couldn’t find anything.

Ling Feng frowned as he looked at the courtyard. He was also aware that nobody had found anything. After a while, Ling Feng said, “We need to dig everything up. It’s impossible for there to be no secret passages. The guy who fought with us can’t be hiding here all this time.”

Everyone nodded. Although the courtyard was very small, it was fully furnished. It had a living room, bedroom, and kitchen. And every room looked like a place ordinary people could live in. It had nothing special to it at all.

However, Zhao Hai felt that something wasn’t right. As he observed the courtyard, he scanned the kitchen, bedroom, and everything else. But after some time, Zhao Hai’s instincts told him that something was special in the kitchen.

Just as Ling Feng was about to order people to dig up the place, Zhao Hai quickly said, “Senior Brother, wait. I found something.”

Upon hearing Zhao Hai, Ling Feng couldn’t help but stare. Then he immediately asked, “What is it?”

Zhao Hai gestured towards the kitchen and said, “The water jar in the kitchen is suspicious.”

As soon as they heard Zhao Hai, Ling Feng and the others looked at the jar in the kitchen. But they couldn’t see anything special with the jar. Zhao Hai pointed towards the jar and said, “Everything in the kitchen is fixed. Only the jar could be moved around or broken. Generally, jars need to be movable. However, the jar in the kitchen is embedded into the ground. I reckon there’s something underneath the jar.”

Ling Feng and the others were stunned as they listened to Zhao Hai. However, they also felt that it was reasonable. Although they were cultivators, they also needed to live. They might not prepare food, but it was rare for a cultivator to be unaware of what’s inside a kitchen. Whether it be in the True Spirit Realm or the Underground World, there are no techniques to produce food.

Everyone has jars of water in their kitchens. But whether a jar was fixed or movable, nobody would pay attention.

Ling Feng and the others gathered around the jar and looked through it twice. Then Ling Feng nodded and said, “Good, it’s as you said.” After saying that, he raised his hand and was about to break the jar.

Zhao Hai quickly stopped Ling Feng, who looked at him in confusion. Zhao Hai explained, “Since the Green Zombie Gang designed the secret passage here, they would certainly build countermeasures. In that case, the consequences might be undesirable if we’re rough.”

Ling Feng felt that Zhao Hai made sense. Then Zhao Hai said, “And if the secret passage does exist, they would have experts protecting it. I’m afraid our group wouldn’t be enough.”

Ling Feng suddenly realized the gravity of the situation. He almost forgot. If the other party arranged experts in the underground passage, then Ling Feng and the others would be courting death if they pushed in.

Thinking of this, the way Ling Feng looked at Zhao Hai changed. He turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Zhao Ling, what’s your opinion on this matter?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “Senior Brother, I happen to understand a bit about mechanisms. Go and inform the Sect Master about the secret passage. Ask them how to proceed. Meanwhile, I’ll see if I can crack this mechanism open.”

Ling Feng nodded, “Alright. A few of you accompany Zhao Ling here. Junior Brother Ling, I’ll leave this place to you. Try and see if you can do something about the mechanism.”

Zhao Hai nodded, “Yes, Senior Brother. You can rest assured.”

Ling Feng nodded, then he turned around and left. Zhao Hai began to examine the water jar. Like ordinary jars, it has a huge space inside. It was also clean. It didn’t look anything special. After examining the jar, Zhao Hai didn’t find anything. But after looking inside, Zhao Hai discovered a small crack at the very bottom of the jar. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but give a satisfied nod.

Zhao Hai tried to grab the jar, but it didn’t move. Zhao Hai couldn’t help but frown. Zhao Hai might know a lot about mechanisms, but every sect has their own way of doing things. There are infinite ways of creating mechanisms. If given enough time, Zhao Hai could try different methods one by one. However, it was clear that Zhao Hai didn’t have a lot of time. In the end, Zhao Hai decided to do the easiest method of figuring out the mechanism. That method was asking the cultivator from the Green Zombie Gang.

Of course, Zhao Hai could ask the Green Zombie Gang cultivator before this. However, Zhao Hai wanted to find the secret passage on his own first. But since there was no time, he has no choice but ask the Green Zombie Gang member inside the Space.

Before long, Zhao Hai acquired his answer. However, Zhao Hai didn’t show it. He continued to scrutinize the jar repeatedly.

Before long, Zhong Busan arrived along with some experts from the Ghost Child Gang. Zhong Busan looked at Zhao Hai who was carefully observing the tank and nodded. Although this was Zhao Hai’s first gang mission, he already did a perfect job. Nobody could find fault with him.

Zhong Busan was also happy. If he missed Zhao Hai, then the Ghost Child Gang might have lost a lot. Seeing that Zhao Hai didn’t get up even if the gang leader had arrived, some of the experts stepped forward to scold him. However, under Zhong Busan’s glare, they stopped and quickly retreated.

Zhong Busan looked at Zhao Hai with a smile on his face. The people around him already had thoughts in their minds when they saw Zhong Busan’s expression. They understood that Zhao Hai had won the gang leader’s approval. Zhao Hai would certainly soar in the future. It would be a good idea to draw Zhao Hai early.

Zhao Hai was long aware that Zhong Busan has arrived. However, he didn’t react and continued to inspect the water jar. He wanted to see how Zhong Busan would react.

After a while, Zhao Hai seemed to recover from his concentration and noticed Zhong Busan’s presence. He quickly bowed and said, “I’ve seen the gang leader. I didn’t notice that you’ve arrived. Please forgive me.”

Zhong Busan waved his hand and said, “Alright, don’t be polite. Let’s talk about what you found out.”

Zhao Hai quickly replied, “Yes. If I’m not mistaken, this is a human code lock mechanism.”

Zhong Busan looked at Zhao Hai in confusion, “Human code lock? Why have I never heard of this before?”

Zhao Hai smiled and said, “It’s a special lock. Actually, these locks were usually used by ordinary people. But here, the lock has been improved. That’s the reason it looks like this. To open this lock, one shouldn’t use spiritual qi. You also couldn’t move it using your physical strength. You need a specific code in order to open the lock. If you use force to break the lock, it will explode with terrifying strength. So, I’ll have to ask the gang leader to give me more time.”
