Chapter 108
“Oliver…”
Stunned, ‘Sienna’s face turned,pale, and she reached out her hand to hit the stone door hard.
She was not afraid of danger, but she was afraid to be separated from Oliver; even if they died, she
wanted them to die together. Her heart was broken now that Oliver had strangely disappeared into the
stone door.
No matter how indifferent Hailey was, she panicked, rushed over to check the stone door, and
wondered, “How could a man disappear in the stone door? Is this stone door made of mud flour?”
But when she rushed forward to check the stone door, she found it cold and hard; even refined steel
couldn’t be inserted into it. However, she couldn’t understand how a living person got devoured by the
hard and cold stone door.
Hailey was worried about Oliver and frightened by the stone door’s weirdness. While she was lost in
thought, she inadvertently glanced at Sienna’s hand that hit the stone door so hard that it bled. She
hurriedly hugged the latter and said, “Sienna, stop it. Let’s discuss it together. Maybe we can find a way
to save him.”
Sienna burst into tears, pursed her lips, and stared at the stone door without saying a word.
Wayne and Simon hit and knocked on the stone door with something hard, making sparks.
But after knocking, there were no marks left on the stone door.
Wayne turned around, stared at Louis, and said fiercely, “Louis, explosives. Where are the explosives?”
Louis hurriedly put the backpack down and took out a bundle of sealed plastic explosives but
immediately shook his head and said, “I’m afraid we can’t make an explosion here. If we do, we will be
buried alive!”
Grim-faced, Wayne said, “We need to blow it up no matter what!”
Simon said in a deep voice, “I’ll do it!”
Wayne was stunned for a moment and then nodded. “Sim, how can I forget you as an expert in
blasting?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith that, he turned and explained to Louis and others, “Sim is a blasting expert. The explosives in his
hand are as if he is playing with his fingers. If he wants to blow up one foot, it won’t be more or less
than one inch.”
Although Louis and the others brought weapons and explosives, they were far less powerful than
Wayne and Simon.
Hearing that, Sienna said with reddened eyes, “Blow it up! Blow this stone door open!”
Since most people agreed to blow up, Louis didn’t hesitate. Besides, it was obvious that Oliver was the
backbone of everyone at the moment. If he was gone, no one else could find a way out.
Although Wayne and Simon were strong and good at fighting, they didn’t know anything about
machines or strange
matters.
Simon took the explosives and unpacked them. Then, he disassembled the explosives and recreated
them skillfully.
The explosives he created were powerful and could be detonated by remote control.
Simon knocked on the different points of the stone door several times with a knife, tried to check its
thickness, and prepared the right amount of explosives.
He was good at those things. He could know how many explosives to use by just listening to the way
sound traveled on the stone and blowing it up without destroying the other space.
It was the most accurate directional blasting, and only the top experts could play it accurately.
Simon put the explosive on the stone door, turned to everyone, and instructed, “Step back, 33 feet
away.”
Louis didn’t dare to bet his life. He held Gunther to step back more than 30 feet away and stopped
before the turning
corner.
The explosives wouldn’t blow up too far. But he was worried that the passage would collapse.
Hailey also forced Sienna to retreat into the turning corner, leaving Simon and Wayne at the forefront.
Wayne was not afraid because he trusted Simon’s ability.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Simon pressed the control and detonated it remotely.
Boom!
A dull but not particularly loud explosion sound was heard, and a smell of smoke instantly rushed into
their nose.
A vibration was felt in the passage, but it wasn’t strong.
After the smoke cleared, Simon came out, and when he saw the stone door before him, he was
stunned.
Wayne, who followed behind, was stunned at well.
Louis and the others didn’t understand, but he knew very well about the amount of explosive Simon
created just then. Besides, Simon placed the explosives at the most fragile spot of the stone door.
According to his experience and imagination, the stone door would be broken into three or four large
fragments after the explosion.
However, after the smoke, the stone door stood intact without a crack on it.
Simon was so shocked that he couldn’t describe his feeling at the moment. With his blasting ability, he
believed that he could easily blow up the stone door.
In addition, he had purposely slightly increased the explosive amount, so he was very sure the door
would blow up.
However, it turned out to be embarrassing.
Simon was stunned for a moment and then rushed forward to check the stone door.
After a long time, he gritted his teeth and put the explosives again on the stone door, and at that time,
he used five times explosive amount more than the previous one.
Wayne was secretly shocked. Although he didn’t have Simon’s blasting skills, he was considered good
as well. He knew well about the explosive amount that Simon used; even a house could be flattened
with that amount of explosives under normal circumstances, let alone the stone door.
Wayne tried to dissuade him, but he held back as his consideration was under normal circumstances.
However, they were apparently not considered in normal circumstances at the moment.
Simon separated the explosives into several points and stuck them on the stone door. Then, he waved
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhis hand and shouted, “Everyone, step further away.”
Louis and the others directly retreated without Simon’s order, hiding at the farthest distance.
Simon gestured at Wayne again. “Wayne, step back!”
Wayne nodded. They retreated around 25 feet away at the same time and shrank to the corner of the
passage.
Simon stretched his hand and pointed the remote control in a straight line at those explosives as it was
easier to detonate without blocking, in a straight line.
When the remote control was pressed, there was another loud bang.
Everyone felt that. It was a violent vibration, but there was no sense of earth-shaking.
After the smoke was gone, Simon probed and was dumbfounded again. Then, he strode over.
The stone door was still standing there intact, without damage or fragmentation.
Sienna couldn’t help but pounce on the stone door and hit it hard with her hand, shouting in a choked
voice, “Oliver! Oliver, do you hear me? Oliver…”
Hailey held Sienna’s hand with red eyes, trying to persuade her but couldn’t speak. Instead, she burst
into tears.
There was nothing she could say.
She was in the same mood as Sienna. She was worried about Oliver as well, so she could say nothing.
Simon was in a daze. That amount of explosives didn’t have any impact on the stone door, not even a
crack. It was far from his imagination. It was inconceivable.
“Is this stone door really made of stone? Even if it is made of steel, it should be deformed under such a
large amount of explosives. Could it be that something goes wrong with the explosive?” Simon
wondered.
However, with the smoke he smelled, the sound he heard, and the vibration he felt, he was sure that
there was no problem with the explosives.
“Since the explosives are fine, why can’t I blow up the stone door after adding such a large amount of
explosives?” Simon exclaimed-inwardly in disbelief.
Meanwhile, inside the stone door, Oliver struggled for a while and broke free after he was engulfed by
it. He rolled away from the stone door and got up to look at it.
“What the hell is this? I can’t believe it ‘swallowed’ me!” Oliver exclaimed inwardly.
