It was dangerous!

A bold red word appeared on the screen, and Li Zheng broke out in a cold sweat.

“I almost chose a dangerous room?!”

Li Zheng took a few steps back to keep his distance from the door. At the same time, he felt lucky.

“Thank god I didn’t swipe my card in front of the door. Otherwise, I’d have to go in regardless.”

“I didn’t expect this detector to be able to show information about the rooms. Right now, it can only detect the level of danger. When I upgrade it, will it be able to detect the specific things in the room?”

“Amazing, what a treasure!”

Li Zheng gave the treasure chest a thumbs up and turned to look at the other metal doors.

[Left: empty (gray)]

[Right: safe (green)]

[Back: safe (dark blue)]

[Above: danger (orange-red)]

[Ground: danger (red)]

“Empty? Does that mean there’s nothing in this room?”

“But what do the colors mean?” Li Zheng asked, glancing to his left.

Of the two safe rooms, one was green and the other was dark blue.

In addition, there were two more dangerous rooms, and they were displayed in different colors.

“I think the orange-red and red represent the level of danger, but for the safe rooms… In my experience playing games, blue is better than green. But is it the same here?”

Li Zheng didn’t think too much about it. He chose the green safe room and swiped his card. “We’ll know once we explore it, right?”

The detector wouldn’t bring him to his death, right?

“Gush~”

The sound of a hydraulic pump was heard, and the metal door slowly opened, revealing a thin film that looked like a laser behind the door.

The film wasn’t transparent, so Li Zheng couldn’t see the contents of the room.

To be safe, Li Zheng took two small stones from the ground, a big and a small one.

“Let’s check the path first. ”

Li Zheng arrived in front of the film and threw the small stone in his hand, piercing through it.

He listened for a moment, but there was no sound.

“Tsk, it’s sound-proof?”

Li Zheng’s lips twitched. It seemed like one couldn’t know if there was any danger behind it by doing this.

Besides, not everyone had a precious detector.

“Next…”

Li Zheng thought for a moment before he reached out to penetrate the film. He moved to the eft and right freely.

“I don’t feel anything.”

Nodding, Li Zheng removed his hand. His palm was still intact, and there was nothing stopping him.

“It seems that I could still turn back as long as I don’t go in completely?”

Li Zheng went to swipe his ID in front of the door, but there was no response.

At this point, Li Zheng had completed his test. He came to the film and passed through it.

Passing through the film was like passing through a ray of light, and his vision was filled with light. Li Zheng was careful, leaving his other foot on the outside.

He opened his eyes wide and made sure that he could not see the contents of the room before he fully entered.

After he passed through the thin film, the light in front of him disappeared, revealing the room.

Li Zheng didn’t take another look. He quickly turned around and bumped into the film.

Then, a notification appeared in front of him.

[Invalid behavior!]

“Ha.”

Li Zheng didn’t seem to mind. He rubbed his nose and sighed. “It’s really strict. There’s no loophole at all.”

When he turned around, he saw a high-tech room.

This room was similar to the capsule shelter. The walls were all covered with metal, and some unknown instruments were embedded in it. There were indicators that were flashing colorful lights, and they seemed to be still working.

The main source of light came from the soft lights installed on the walls, roof, and ground. They were covered with an acrylic material that was not transparent, so the light was very soft.

This was also the reason why Li Zheng was able to adapt so quickly when he first entered from a darker room.

The floor was bare and clean. Li Zheng realized that the stone he had thrown in earlier was not in the room.

“It seems like it’s to prevent players from using a diversion to draw away the possible danger in the room?”

Li Zheng immediately thought of the purpose of this setting.

He kept this in mind and continued to observe the room.

Most of the equipment in the empty room did not even have a description. They were like useless decorations.

However, there were two devices in the middle of the room, and the system gave him some notifications.

[Material storage tank, a machine that can store materials for a long time. There may be some things inside.]

[Research desk. If you’re careful enough, you might be able to get something from this machine.]

Although it was called a “tank,” the material storage tank actually looked more like a refrigerator.

The research desk was much more refreshing.

It was a metal pillar with a touch screen on top. From time to time, an indicator light would flash.

After scanning every corner of the room and making sure that the system and detector didn’t give him any more information, Li Zheng walked to the “fridge”.

After opening it, there was only a long object that was 10 centimeters long, 2 centimeters wide, and 1 centimeter thick inside.
