Adventure Behind the Bronze Door Episode 28 Recap
> Adventure Behind the Bronze Door Recap
With the field of Zanghai Flowers destroyed, Wu Xie and Fatty felt a sense of relief after their perilous mission, though Wu Xie still felt uneasy about not having seen the golden sphere bugs appear. Fatty urged him to leave, saying they had completed their task and should head home. However, Hans was unwilling to leave empty-handed. Feng warned Hans against his obsession, but Hans ordered his men to search for any surviving Zanghai Flowers.
Their soldiers then discovered something moving beneath the ice. Golden sphere bug eggs were stirring under the ice, trying to break free. Driven by greed, Hans threw a grenade onto the ice to get more samples. Wu Xie and Fatty cried out for him to stop, but it was too late. As the ice exploded, the clear sky was instantly engulfed in dark clouds. A massive vortex formed, unleashing a huge storm towards them, along with countless golden sphere bugs.
Hans fired his weapon wildly, but he was not spared; a golden sphere bug attacked his neck, and the remaining men scattered in terror. When Wu Xie woke again, he found himself in a warm room. He had been rescued by the Yinshaluo people, who had relocated there after a snow avalanche and were settled on the other side of the mountain by Zhang Qiling.
Wu Xie immediately looked for Fatty and found him in the same room, injured in the leg and with a neck issue. Wu Xie hurried out to find a signal, but there was no mobile signal or any other form of communication. He found the Yinshaluo elder and urged her to lead her people to retreat quickly, warning that the storm would arrive soon. The elder calmly continued her work, accustomed to disaster and possessing a strong sense of destiny.
Hearing that Wu Xie was a friend of Zhang Qiling, she was pleased that the usually solitary Zhang Qiling had friends. She advised Wu Xie to descend the mountain immediately due to the impending danger of the storm, wishing to avoid additional casualties. However, Wu Xie was determined to stay, feeling responsible since they had brought about the storm and intending to see the matter through for Zhang Qiling.
Wu Xie returned to the room to persuade Fatty to leave the mountain, but Fatty refused, insisting that as brothers, they must face difficulties together. Unexpectedly, Wu Xie saw Zhang Haixing outside the tent. Zhang Haixing immediately urged Wu Xie to descend the mountain, stating that she had already decided to stay. Wu Xie sought help from Feng, a science professor, believing he would know how to handle the storm.
Feng analyzed the storm's path with Wu Xie, devising a plan to enter the storm's eye and use explosives to dissipate the vortex. Feng revealed his plan involved sacrifices: a suicide squad would protect a team tasked with breaking through the storm to reach the eye, where there was no wind. From the eye, explosives could be sent up to dissipate the vortex.
Feng warned that given the current wind speed, anyone in the suicide squad entering the storm would face certain death, but this would allow others to survive. Wu Xie and Fatty calculated the minimum number of people needed for the mission, reducing the initial estimate. Wu Xie and Fatty witnessed the courage and spirit of the Yinshaluo people. Upon hearing about the impending disaster, many volunteered without hesitation to join the suicide squad.
The next day, news arrived from the Yinshaluo scouts who had gone ahead; they had not returned, and the storm was advancing faster than expected. Wu Xie immediately gathered the suicide squad, realizing they had to move earlier than planned. Wu Xie discussed the storm's cause and effects with Feng, who explained that Hans's actions had released massive underground heat, causing violent air convection, a pressure difference, a cyclone, and finally the storm.
Feng mentioned historical data suggesting explosives could disrupt particles in the atmosphere to break up the cyclone, though achieving this was nearly impossible without something like a nuclear weapon, which would cause worse consequences. Wu Xie sensed Feng had a viable plan, and Feng admitted he did, though it would involve sacrifices. As the Yinshaluo people prepared, they trained for the mission, practicing hand gestures for communication in the storm.
Zhang Haixing watched, then spoke to Wu Xie, questioning his motives for staying, whether it was to repay a debt or just self-gratification. She argued that Zhang Qiling chose him for a more important mission and that he should not sacrifice himself. Wu Xie acknowledged his own obsession and desire to take responsibility, comparing it to her long history of bearing burdens for her brother. Zhang Haixing eventually decided to leave, though she noted Wu Xie was different from others.
Fatty, still injured, overheard some of the plans and insisted he would not leave. He and Wu Xie shared a moment reinforcing their bond and mutual determination to face death together if necessary. Fatty joked about their shared philosophy and praised the Yinshaluo men's courage, noting that while they cherished the warrior title, they were also fathers and husbands, unlike the cold Zhang Family members. Later, Yindan brought news from Granny that the scouts sent out earlier had not returned.
Yindan, who had gone to look for them, found that many were swept away by the strong winds near the scout route, only managing to rescue a few. Feng confirmed the storm's wind speed had increased, likely due to changes in the underground heat source, and they had until noon the next day for the best detonation point. Yindan, injured, asked to join the suicide squad.
Wu Xie explained that Yindan was initially excluded because he was needed to survive and carry crucial data and information to the outside world should the mission fail. He stressed that Yindan was their last hope for the truth to reach the outside world. Wu Xie then instructed everyone to prepare for departure the next day.
