Chapter 599 A Narrow Encounter and Solving the Mechanism
Lin Yu and the others tensed instantly, their weapons aimed at the masked man and his group. The masked man smirked, and the dark organization soldiers behind him quickly spread out, surrounding them, their weapons poised to strike; a major battle was about to erupt.
"If you want the key, then come and get it if you can!" Lin Yu glared back at the masked man without fear, the light from his energy weapon growing ever brighter. The two faced off, the air thick with the smell of gunpowder, the tense atmosphere almost suffocating.
"Fire!" the masked man gave the order, and the dark organization soldiers instantly unleashed their full firepower, raining bullets and energy beams at Lin Yu and his group. Lin Yu shouted, "Spread out and take cover, find an opportunity to counterattack!" The team members quickly dispersed in different directions, using the stone pillars and mechanical devices in the room as cover.
Xiao Wang, hiding behind a stone pillar, peeked out and fired at the enemy; the laser beam accurately struck a soldier. However, the enemy was numerous and their firepower fierce, suppressing them and making it difficult for them to raise their heads. Taking advantage of a lull in the enemy's reloading, Ellie rushed out from behind cover and ran towards the mechanical devices. "Lin Yu, I'll try to restart these devices to deal with them! You guys hold on!"
Lin Yu and his teammates returned fire while moving closer to Ellie, buying her time. Seeing this, the masked man personally led several elite soldiers to pounce on Ellie. "We absolutely cannot let her activate the device!" he roared, his weapon firing wildly.
Lin Yu was frantic. He rushed forward and stood in front of Ellie, his energy shield flickering amidst the hail of bullets. "Ellie, hurry!" Lin Yu shouted, his shield being hit several times and emitting a piercing alarm.
Ellie finally reached the mechanical device and tried to operate it quickly, but in her panic, she couldn't get it to start. "What's wrong? Why won't it start!" Ellie's eyes welled up with tears.
While fending off enemy attacks, Lin Yu shouted, "Don't panic, follow the order on the stone disc!" Ellie took a deep breath, forced herself to calm down, carefully recalled the patterns and symbols on the stone disc, and readjusted her actions.
Just as the masked man was about to rush towards Ellie, the mechanical device suddenly roared and shot out a beam of energy. The masked man quickly dodged to the side, and the beam grazed his shoulder, scorching his clothes.
"We did it!" Ellie shouted excitedly. Other mechanical devices also started up one after another, and beams of energy crisscrossed the room, throwing the Dark Organization soldiers into chaos.
"Now's the time to counterattack!" Lin Yu seized the opportunity, leading his team out from behind cover and launching a full-scale counterattack. Under the combined assault of the mechanical devices and the soldiers, the Dark Organization soldiers gradually crumbled and began to retreat.
Seeing that things were going badly, the masked man glared fiercely at Lin Yu, "You wait, I won't let this go!" After saying that, he led the remaining soldiers and fled the room.
Having defeated the enemy, the group collapsed to the ground, exhausted, overwhelmed with the joy of surviving a close call. But they knew time was of the essence, and the dark organization could return at any moment.
They turned their attention back to the stone disc, and after careful study, they discovered that the patterns and symbols on the disc formed a complex puzzle. It seemed that certain positions on the disc needed to be touched in a specific order to activate the next mechanism.
“This mystery is too complicated. Where should we begin?” Xiao Wang said, frowning. Lin Yu stared at the stone slab, lost in thought. “The previous clues were all related to the key and the symbols on the building. Perhaps we should connect these.”
Ellie took out the first key and examined the symbols on it carefully again. Suddenly, her eyes lit up. "I think I understand. The symbols on the key correspond to certain parts of the stone disc. According to this correspondence, we might be able to find the order to solve the puzzle!"
The crowd gathered around, and Ellie, based on her findings, began to carefully touch the corresponding spots on the stone disc. As she did so, the stone disc vibrated slightly, the surrounding mechanical devices began to slowly rotate, and new light and shadow appeared on the walls of the room.
The lights and shadows seemed to be showing something, but before they could see clearly, the floor of the room suddenly began to shake violently, and cracks spread from the ground. "Oh no, this place is going to collapse!" Lin Yu shouted, "We have to find the second key quickly and get out of here!"
In this critical moment, will they be able to find the second key in the collapsed building by following the newly emerging clues of light and shadow?
