Chapter 80: Cracking the Mystery of the Iron Gate

Lynn and the team members carefully searched around the huge iron gate, hoping to find clues to open it. They didn't let go of any details, touching every part of the iron gate with their hands, trying to find a way to crack those strange symbols.

"These symbols are very similar to the ones we found on the cave wall and in the factory before. Maybe there's some connection between them," Lynn said while observing the symbols. The team members nodded one after another, showing their agreement with Lynn's view.

Suddenly, a team member said, "I remember when we were in the cave, we found that those symbols seemed to represent a certain order. Maybe the symbols here also have the same rule." When Lynn heard this, his eyes lit up. He thought what this team member said made a lot of sense.

They began to carefully study the arrangement order of these symbols. Lynn found that the symbols on the iron gate could be divided into several areas, and the symbols in each area seemed to have a specific meaning. He guessed that only by activating these symbols in the correct order could the iron gate be opened.

"Let's record the order of these symbols first, and then try to activate them in order," Lynn said. The team members took out paper and pens and carefully recorded the arrangement order of the symbols.

Just as they were recording the symbols, a low - pitched rumbling sound suddenly came from behind the iron gate. The sound got louder and louder, as if there was something huge moving behind the iron gate.

"Be careful, there might be danger," Lynn said warily. The team members immediately stopped what they were doing, tightly gripped their weapons, and got ready for battle.

After the rumbling sound lasted for some time, it suddenly stopped. Then, some symbols on the iron gate began to flash. These flashing symbols seemed to be conveying some kind of information.

"Are these flashing symbols hinting at the activation order?" a team member asked. Lynn carefully observed the flashing symbols and found that their flashing order really seemed to have a certain pattern.

"Very likely. Let's activate the other symbols according to the order of these flashing symbols," Lynn said. The team members followed Lynn's instructions and began to try to activate the symbols on the iron gate. They used the power of the gem to inject energy into the symbols.

When they activated the first symbol, the iron gate gave a slight tremor. This gave them hope and made them more determined to activate the symbols in order.

However, when they activated the third symbol, several lasers suddenly shot out from the iron gate. These lasers were extremely fast and shot towards the team members.

"Watch out for the lasers!" Lynn shouted. The team members quickly dodged, but still, a team member was grazed by the laser. A large part of his clothes was burned.

"It seems that activating the symbols isn't that simple. There may be other conditions," Lynn said, frowning. He began to think about whether there were requirements for the amount of energy to activate the symbols or the time interval between activations.

Lynn decided to observe the flashing symbols again to see if he could find more clues. He found that the flashing symbols not only had an order but also different flashing frequencies.

"I think I understand. The amount of energy and the time interval to activate the symbols may be related to the flashing frequency of the symbols," Lynn said. The team members thought Lynn's speculation was very reasonable after hearing this.

They readjusted the way to activate the symbols. According to the flashing frequency of the symbols, they controlled the amount of energy injected into the symbols and the time interval between activations. When they tried to activate the symbols again, there was no more laser attack.

As they activated the symbols in the correct order and way, the symbols on the iron gate became brighter and brighter. Finally, when they activated the last symbol, the iron gate made a loud rumbling sound and slowly opened.

"We've succeeded!" the team members cheered. Lynn looked at the opened iron gate, feeling both excited and nervous. He knew that behind the door was very likely the research base of the ancient evil organization, and there must be more hidden dangers there.

They carefully walked into the passage behind the iron gate. The passage was filled with a pungent smell, and the light was very dim. Lynn used the power of the gem to release a bright light, illuminating the passage.

On the walls of the passage, they found some more strange symbols. These symbols were a bit similar to the ones on the iron gate but not exactly the same. Lynn guessed that these symbols might be used to guide them in the research base.

"Let's move forward following the guidance of these symbols," Lynn said. The team members followed Lynn and walked forward along the passage. During the process, they encountered some more traps and mechanisms. However, with Lynn's wisdom and the team members' bravery, they successfully avoided these dangers.

Finally, they came to a huge room. There were all kinds of strange instruments and equipment in the room, and there was a large container in the center, which seemed to be filled with some kind of liquid.

"This should be the core area of the research base," Lynn said. They carefully walked into the room, ready to explore this mysterious place. However, as soon as they walked into the room, they felt a powerful energy fluctuation. This energy fluctuation made their bodies tremble involuntarily.

"Be careful, the energy here is very strong," Lynn said. They didn't know where this powerful energy came from, nor did they know what kind of danger they would encounter next.
