In just over an hour, the team dug out a trench about 2 meters wide and 2.5 meters deep around the building. Afterward, they began to place sharp wooden thorn traps within it.
In the case that there was a monster that could not fly and did not have insane jumping abilities, then it would never make it past these traps.
Explosive packs were also placed according to the planned detonation points around the area.
An area within one kilometer would be set into blazing fires when the button to denote it is pressed, immediately taking down any creature that is not resistant to high temperatures.
These were the basin’s changes in the past few days in terms of combat forces and strategies!
Although it was not comparable to a civilized age where they could quickly kill enemies thousands of miles away with a touch of a button, it was definitely much more potent than foreign races that still relied on physical combat skills.
Despite everything running smoothly according to their plan, it was still as worrying as ever.
Inside the command post that was temporarily built 800 meters away from the strange building, Chen Shen frowned as he watched the last middle-aged man brought by Chen Kai looking at the building with a confused expression.
“They don’t have any recollection of it?”
Chen Kai shook his head. “No, I’ve already hinted to them on the way here. It’s impossible for all of them to react the same way if they pretended not to recognize it.”
“I can’t imagine what kind of freak trained them to be this way!”
The best case scenario was for people with no memories to provide information about the building at the moment.
It was much safer to have whatever information about the building, regardless of its origin, purpose, or dangers, rather than recklessly charging into it without any background knowledge.
However, the reality was not willing to cooperate.
Chen Shen could clearly see that the expressions of these prisoners were the same as when he and the others first saw the building.
It was the same shock, puzzlement, and fear on their faces.
Neither Chen Kai nor Chen Shen believed that their reaction was a pretense from strict training.
Moments later.
While the two were still trying to conclude, Li Hu, who had investigated the building for more than an hour, arrived and stepped into the commander’s room.
He immediately inquired as he entered the door.
“How did it go? Is there any new information?”
Chen Shen shook his head and replied honestly.
Li Hu sighed after hearing the interrogation results. “Tsk…”
“This will be a little more troublesome. I planned to enter the building from the windows if we couldn’t go through the door. However, I just discovered that those decent-looking windows are made of explosion-proof glass. Besides that, behind the glass are iron plates blocking the inside view, just like the door. What kind of mad genius came up with such a design?!!”
The door was sealed shut, and the windows were sealed. A tragedy would be bound to happen if a dangerous situation like a fire broke out inside the building.
However, no matter what the intention of the design was, the only choice left for the villagers was to launch an attack forcefully!
“I guess we’ve no other option left but to attack!”
Chen Shen glanced at the time on his watch. It was already two-fifty in the afternoon. He stood up and no longer hesitated.
‘It’ll be a bloody battle regardless of whether we attack or wait for them to attack!
‘We’re already fully prepared. Any further delay will only cause us further stress. It’s better that we take action now and get over with it!’
“Alright! I’ll lead the team into the building right now! You guys better defend with everything you’ve got!”
Li Hu’s eyes flashed with determination as he glanced at the village behind them. He turned around and then marched toward the front door of the building.
The troops were already fully prepared and had adjusted their mental and physical states for the mission.
They were determined to blow up the door and charge toward the enemy, fighting it with all they got as soon as Li Hu gave the order!
“Hello, my fellow friends! We’re residents from the Hope Village and are here to send you our warm greetings!”
Li Hu walked ahead of the team toward the black iron door and knocked as a courtesy.
He was taken aback by the almost non-existent echo through the door.
The sound indicated that the door was either incredibly thick or the material used was highly dense.
Whatever the reason, it was not a good sign for the team about to forcefully enter the building.
Relatively, if inside the building was not an enemy but instead large quantities of resources, it would be an unimaginable harvest for them!
