In the vertical shaft entrance, the two semi-circular metal gates were violently broken open, with the doors severely deformed.
The two door panels hung in the shaft like dead leaves ready to fall from a branch, suspended by fragile hinges.
It seemed that there was no way to close the metal gate sealing the shaft entrance.
Iron Thorn Shield would need to send someone to install a new gate.
Noland Lee made a note of this to report back to Iron Thorn Shield.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, a sudden sound of gears turning startled him.
Noland Lee's body shivered as he turned to look at the shaft, his gaze falling on the cable used to pull the lifting platform.
There were four vertical metal chains.
The top of the chain was connected to the traction device in the ceiling, while the other end hung in the shaft, extending far below.
Now, the traction device in the ceiling was struggling to move, and the rusty gears emitted a grating noise.
