Chapter 1076: Talent

At the end of the passageway was a heavy metal door.

Its strength and thickness were only slightly inferior to the gate of the reconstruction room in the Imperial Office Building in the Heihuo District.

The weight of dozens of tons seemed like a natural chasm to ordinary people.

But for gene-modified warriors, it was just a small challenge.

"Behind this door is a staircase leading directly to the second underground floor. Who wants to try first?" Lian Shiqi cast her gaze toward Su Yang's group.

The meaning was self-evident.

To this, Wang Defa said: "With our current strength, we cannot shake it with pure power."

"To pass, we undoubtedly have to use talents."

"But... I'm very sorry, no one in our team is good at this."

Wang Yuning, the only one who could use ingenuity to open it, had already rushed to the Imperial Laboratory.

The rest of the people, whether it was Yue Lan's group or their own, couldn't do it.

It was true that Su Yang could "fuse" with the demon to gain powerful strength.

But the weight of dozens of tons was by no means as simple as moving his mouth and hands.

Lian Shiqi smiled upon hearing this, then looked at Tang Xuan. "You do it."

After saying that, she slowly retreated to the side, leaving enough space.

Tang Xuan glanced at Wang Defa, took a big step forward, and twisted his neck.

"Everyone, please step back twenty meters; I won't be responsible for accidental injuries."

As soon as the words fell, he reached out his large hand, grasping at the void.

Immediately after, under everyone's gaze, a horrifying thing happened.

Tang Xuan took a long breath, his cheeks puffed up, and his eyes suddenly widened.

"Drink!"

Accompanied by a deep shout, his large hand gripped tightly!

"Boom!"

The metal door suddenly trembled, emitting a loud noise.

Seeing this scene, everyone hurriedly retreated, looking at the front with suspicion.

"What kind of ability is this? Does he want to forcibly pull the door out?" Zhuang Wu was shocked.

"Doesn't look like it; I feel it's a bit like 'weightlessness'?" Wang Defa speculated.

"This kind of gesture..." Su Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, and his heart stirred.

Soon, Tang Xuan seemed to be familiar with the weight and force, and his grasping palm slowly turned.

"Crunch!"

The metal door suddenly shook, and then a visible deformation occurred.

The square edges bent first, gradually becoming rounded.

At the same time, the surroundings began to gather toward the center, producing a large amount of energy during the period, which was converted into heat and conducted into the air.

Everyone felt an indescribable dryness and heat, and sweat soon oozed from their skin.

"So it's 'Compression'!" Zhang Tiancheng suddenly realized.

This kind of conceptual talent was most suitable for dealing with immovable objects.

Compared to the so-called "mental shock" and "control," it was a hundred times better in this situation.

And there was no need to worry about side effects.

It only needed to open a hole that one person could pass through within the duration.

However, Tang Xuan thought so too.

With his current fourth-rank talent level, he couldn't compress this four-by-four metal door to the size of a biscuit.

He couldn't handle the terrifying energy released just by doing that.

So, he shifted his focus to the bottom right corner.

That was the position of the door lock!

He reached his left hand out of his pocket, posing in a clinging posture.

His right hand moved like he was molding clay.

The next moment, the heavy metal door really began to deform following his fingers.

The magnitude was so large that it gave people the illusion that the door was very soft.

"What would happen if this talent were used on a person?" Zhuang Wu asked on a whim.

"Rubbed round or flattened, whatever he wants." Wang Defa said.

"There should be restrictions, right? Otherwise, wouldn't our group be kneaded into mud in an instant?" Zhang Tiancheng asked.

"Of course, the object must be static; if it moves even a little, he has to re-select the target." Su Yang said, imitating his posture.

And then continued: "Even one second in battle is enough to change a lot; the enemy won't give him the chance to do it step by step."

"Boom!"

Suddenly, the metal door emitted another loud noise.

The terrifying tremor turned into an impact, forcibly crushing the rock layer underground.

Ferocious cracks appeared on the ceiling.

"Alright, line up and enter one by one." Tang Xuan said, panting.

"Hard work." Lian Shiqi walked up and patted his shoulder.

As she spoke, she took the lead and walked slowly along the edge of the door.

The rest of the partners followed closely behind.

Su Yang and the others were naturally assigned to the end.

To this, they didn't express any complaints or dissatisfaction.

Instead, they were very happy.

After all, no one knew what dangers were hidden on the second floor.

If they were the first to be shot, wouldn't it be an unprovoked disaster?

"Tsk tsk, Boss, did you see the look in Tang Xuan's eyes just now?" Zhuang Wu said.

"What's wrong?" Su Yang asked curiously.

"A look that wants to peel skin and eat flesh; I'm wondering where this guy's hostility comes from?" Zhuang Wu expressed confusion.

"Everything has a cause; you'll know the answer later." Su Yang chuckled, not caring at all.

Looking at it this way, Lian Shiqi really wasn't their "Ascend God" seed.

It was probably one of "White Wolf" or "Starry Sky."

Earlier, Wen Ran had "sniffed out" the strangeness of their magnetic fields.

Grudges wouldn't come from nowhere.

Su Yang also boasted that he hadn't offended them.

Besides, there were no Old Era remnants in this game.

Then from this, a definite conclusion could be drawn.

The other party's resentment must have traces to follow.

"I'm curious, which checkpoint will they choose to make their move?" Ximen Zhirou said.

"At least not until I still have utilization value." Su Yang said slowly.

After Lian Shiqi and the others all entered, Su Yang walked up to examine it.

The degree of deformation of the metal door was far beyond imagination.

It was as if an invisible large hand had forcibly pinched it flat.

"Such ruthless means, they really came prepared!" A sharp light flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

Behind him was Zhuang Wu.

The latter was extremely curious and couldn't help but reach out to touch it.

But the moment his fingertips made contact, a scorching aura instantly surged into his body.

"Sss—"

"Damn!" Zhuang Wu subconsciously retracted his hand, but his elbow bumped into the door frame.

His funny bone instantly jumped, and a mask of pain appeared on his face.

"Hiss!" Zhuang Wu took a deep breath and hurriedly shook his fingers.

At this moment, he had the feeling of caring for the head but not the tail.

He didn't know whether to deal with his fingers first or handle the numbness in his arm.

"Damn it, it hurts to death!"

Wang Defa couldn't help but laugh upon seeing this: "Others told you not to touch it, but you insisted."

Zhuang Wu bared his teeth: "I was just curious."

Su Yang laughed dumbly, drilled through the gap, and saw a spiral staircase leading directly downward.

The space was very dark, barely enough to see the distribution of the stairs.

"Speed up, otherwise the people behind won't be able to wait." Su Yang said slowly.

Lu Junsheng, who was at the end of the team, turned his head and saw the rope leading directly to the ground swinging irregularly.

Although the amplitude was small, it was still clear.

"The guests have arrived; indeed, we shouldn't keep them out!" ===== CHAPTER 1077 =====
