As the group fell into thought, the sound of footsteps echoed from above. A group of people armed with weapons then rushed in, pushing Peach forward in front of Hao Shuai and the others.

"Because one of the guards was very clever, he didn't eat the poison your grandfather gave him," an old man in a wheelchair, wearing a gentleman's hat, answered everyone's questions.

"Peach, are you okay?" Hao Shuai stepped forward, supporting Peach as he asked with concern.

"If I'm not mistaken, you must be Adolf," Jack said with certainty.

"How did you know?" Adolf, in the wheelchair, looked astonished.

Jack pulled out the dagger he had previously stuck in Elsa's grandfather's back and said, "Because your name is engraved on this dagger. You were that clever guard. You didn't take the medicine."

"So you're the one who killed my grandfather," Elsa said indignantly.

Adolf's face contorted with rage. "Your grandfather was no good person. He tricked us into eating poison, and when I refused, he crippled my leg. Do you know how long I've waited? I've waited for today."

"But the ownership of this gold belongs to the United Nations," Ada interjected innocently.

"As long as this gold is here, I am its owner," Adolf stated firmly.

"How do we get out?" the mercenary leader asked Adolf, turning back.

"I remember the way out from here."

With guns pointed at them, Hao Shuai and the others had no choice but to lead the way. Knowing there was no danger ahead, Hao Shuai casually stepped onto the stairs first. Ever since the mercenaries had entered, Hao Shuai had continuously enveloped them all with his Psychic Power, making him fearless.

"Jack, who are these people?" Ada asked nervously, a gun still pointed at her.

"They're mercenaries."

"They work for me," Adolf said from behind, expressing his displeasure upon hearing Jack's words.

"They work for money," Jack added, not forgetting to sow discord.

"Don't try to sow discord!" A mercenary behind Jack poked him with the barrel of his gun.

Jack immediately fell silent. Just then, he noticed Hao Shuai and the others had entered a small door. Seeing the corpses at his feet, he immediately used his heel to flick a skeleton towards the mercenaries behind him.

Startled, the mercenaries involuntarily stumbled backward. Seizing the opportunity, Jack immediately ran into the small door and pulled it shut.

By the time the mercenaries reacted and started shooting wildly at the small door, the group had already vanished.

They immediately grabbed flashlights and pursued them. The group ran around chaotically in the darkness. Hao Shuai, pulling Peach along, darted around with Jack; it was thrilling.

Adolf, catching up, shouted, "Mark, Mark!" Adolf pointed in one direction. "I remember there's a generator over there. Find someone to start it."

Upon hearing this, Mark commanded, "Ben, go start the generator. The rest of you, keep pursuing."

"Yes!" The extra, Ben, took the order to start the generator.

Thanks to Jack's brilliant maneuvering, Hao Shuai and the others managed to seize the mercenaries' weapons and dispose of them. Unfortunately, with the help of the clumsy teammate Elsa, their advantageous situation devolved into a brawl.

Hao Shuai and Jack attracted most of the mercenaries' pursuit, while Peach and the other two stuck together and fled.

Hao Shuai, intending to find an opportunity to get the gold later, didn't immediately take down the mercenaries chasing him. Instead, he mimicked Jack, leaping around the base and taunting his pursuers.

Jack, lacking Hao Shuai's agility, could only fight desperately against the pursuers.

Just as Hao Shuai was having a blast, the mercenary leader Mark arrived with a gun, bringing the comical fight to an end. Mark looked at the five people of Hao Shuai's group lined up. To avoid any further complications, he raised his gun, preparing to kill Jack and the others.

Seeing Mark aiming his gun at him, Jack quickly said, "You need to think clearly. Just having the key is useless; only I know how to use it."

Hearing this, Mark pointed at Elsa. Elsa quickly explained, "My grandfather used my mother's birthday as the secret. Only I know my mother's birthday."

"Only I know the steps to unlock it," Ada said, waving her hands frantically as she saw the gun pointed at her.

The next person in line was Hao Shuai. At that moment, Mark happened to see Adolf being pushed down and asked, "Is it really that complicated?"

Adolf confirmed, "Yes. Let's see the gold first. There's a passage just a little further on."

"Kid, you walk at the front. Don't try any tricks, or I'll shoot your companions first," Mark said, pointing his gun at Hao Shuai.

( ̄︿ ̄) Hao Shuai: You're lucky, or you wouldn't even see the gold.

Under 'duress,' Hao Shuai led everyone to the vault door.

Hao Shuai had already come to this door during the chaos earlier. Unfortunately, the door was integrated with the base, and Hao Shuai couldn't put it into his spatial storage. Otherwise, he would have acted already.

Mark looked at the tightly shut door and threatened, "What's the password to open it?"

Ada: "The key is in three sections, each with a different password."

Elsa: "My mother's birthday is September 16th."

Mark said to his subordinate, who was holding the key and preparing to open the door, "916."

The subordinate nodded, indicating he understood, and began to open the door.

As the key turned to the first password, six machine guns emerged from above and began to spray bullets at the two mercenaries opening the door.

After a burst of gunfire, the two mercenaries were riddled with bullets, undeniably dead.

The stunned survivors slowly emerged from behind the walls.

Mark's composure completely shattered. "You bastards dared to lie to me!" he exclaimed, preparing to shoot them.

Jack raised his hands. "We didn't lie to you."

"Yeah, we've told you everything we know."

"My mom's birthday is really September 16th," Ada explained to Elsa in a panic.

Adolf, seeing the gold right before his eyes but blocked by the door, asked in exasperation, "Did you forget anything?"

"Alright, no need to say more. You guys go," Mark pointed at Jack and the others.

With no other choice, the group slowly walked towards the door, with Elsa and Ada still arguing about the correct password on the way.

"Jack, do you remember the number tag we just got from Elsa's grandfather?" Hao Shuai prompted from the side.

Hearing Hao Shuai's reminder, Jack suddenly realized, "Right, how could I not have thought of that?"

Jack took out the number tag and looked it over. One side was engraved with 6 5 3, and the other side with 5 7 6. He couldn't make up his mind.

"Try flipping it over," Hao Shuai continued to prompt.

Upon hearing this, Jack flipped the tag. As it turned, the display showed the numbers 6 9 8.

So, Jack mustered up his courage, inserted the key into the lock, and began to turn it.

With Hao Shuai's reminder, Jack managed it without incident.

After a burst of electrical sound, the door opened.

The mercenaries behind them rushed forward to open the entire door.

Seeing the small space of only seven or eight square meters behind the door, Mark turned to Adolf and asked, "Didn't you say the gold was here?"

Adolf looked at Mark with the gaze one reserves for the intellectually challenged, "This is an elevator, you idiot."

"Let's go, everyone get in." Mark, though scolded, suppressed his anger, only mentally adding Adolf to his kill list.

The group took the elevator down to the next level of the base. Two mercenaries entered the room first, followed by Hao Shuai and the other five, who were escorted in.

Upon entering the room, they were greeted by a floor covered in gleaming gold. Everyone's eyes widened.

"Uncover the canvas, quickly, the canvas on top, hurry and uncover it!" Adolf shouted anxiously.

Xiao Hei, who was closest, immediately dropped the gold he was holding and ran to the platform to pull off the canvas.

Instantly, everyone's eyes were blinded by a dazzling golden light, and the entire room turned into a sea of gold.

"There's really this much gold!"

"Two and a half tons are mine."

Ada and Jack stared at the gold, muttering involuntarily.

All the mercenaries were also mesmerized by the gold, and they all started dancing some inexplicable, yet seemingly profound, dance.

Perhaps the only one in the entire base who remained clear-headed and wasn't blinded by the gold was Hao Shuai. After all, Hao Shuai had seen much more gold. However, he was also very happy. The more than two hundred tons of gold were all high-purity gold with a purity of 99.99%, saving Hao Shuai the trouble of re-refining it.

Now, Hao Shuai began to consider how to collect the gold and the weapons and ammunition in the base.

Although Hao Shuai wanted to kill the mercenaries directly and take the gold, he couldn't explain it clearly to Jack and the others that way. After so many days together, Hao Shuai had developed feelings for Jack and the others and didn't want to fall out with them.

After some thought, Hao Shuai decided to follow the plot and only come to collect the gold when the base was about to explode.

While Hao Shuai was lost in thought, Jack had already snatched the pistol from the mercenary's waist and was holding it to Adolf's head, demanding the mercenaries disarm.
