Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 457 [Chapter of Hidden Abyss] [-]: Urban Legend

When Paulkin Walker brought Chen Yan to the Leprosy Lane market, he realized that the second-hand goods market in the lower city had become unimaginably prosperous——

In the huge ruin-like unfinished building, there are five floors from top to bottom, and each floor is the size of an entire racetrack. There are second-hand vendors wearing various costumes of different nationalities and speaking various languages.

According to Paulkin Walker, many of these vendors are illegal immigrants who smuggled into the customs through various means. When they first arrived, they could not speak the language, and their money was squeezed dry by black intermediaries. They could only sell valuables with them. Nan City until he finds a job.

The more vendors gathered here are speculators who have obtained strange goods through various channels. No one knows where the goods on their stalls come from, and no one even knows what those goods are.

When Chen Yan saw the exact same miner's equipment as his bedroom in a "small room" surrounded by a wooden fence, he fell silent.

These miners' equipment looks very old, and it has obviously been used for a long time. Some of them have holes and can no longer be used at first sight, but some are still in good condition, and they even look very new-these old and new goods are on the way. It represents the characteristics that all second-hand goods cannot guarantee the quality.

Chen Yan knew without asking that these miners' equipment should be second-hand goods processed within Spyro Industries. Perhaps these second-hand goods should have been scrapped and destroyed, but they were shipped out by some people through some channel and sold to second-hand dealers. Earn extra money.

In other words, this second-hand dealer is likely to know someone inside Spyro Industries.

Chen Yan silently recorded the characteristics of this person, maybe he will look for him in the future.

Paulkin Walker told Chen Yan that these things are black goods, and you can’t ask the source when you buy them, otherwise you will break the rules, not only can’t complete the transaction, but you will also be kicked out of the market—the rules are second-hand dealers here Commonly maintained, those rules represent their common interests.

Chen Yan even saw the vague "Spyro Industries" rubber logo on a certain miner's uniform.

After seeing the sign, the stall owner found an excuse, took away the miner's uniform with the sign in his hand, and promised to give him a discount for his next purchases.

A set of equipment includes miners' uniforms, gloves, miners' boots, miners' pickaxes, hard hats with searchlights, gas masks...

Chen Yan and Paulkin Walker carefully selected the equipment that seemed to be functional, but the quality of some items could not be verified, such as the searchlight on the helmet that was powered by the Snake-Kiss Rock, and the A gas mask that can only be verified to be effective in a polluted environment.

Chen Yan can only judge the integrity of the filter element in the gas mask from the appearance.

Jack Baldo, Paulkin Walker, Webb, and Swarm, 4 sets of mining equipment, sold for only two shillings in total.

Chen Yan knew that he had made a profit, and he also knew that the second-hand dealer must not have lost money.

The thermal weapons I bought before and the 4 sets of equipment now cannot be carried back by two people. Fortunately, a trolley can be easily bought in the flea market, so Chen Yan and Paulkin Walker moved the purchased items to the trolley , Covered with a layer of rags, bought more than twenty pounds of rotten cabbage that was rotten and rotten to cover it, and pushed the cart back to the apartment.

It was already six o'clock in the afternoon when we arrived at the apartment.

Called Swarm to come over to try on the equipment, Chen Yan went out to buy food, a group of people had dinner as if they were at war, and the time had come to 07:30 in the evening.

The children hadn't arrived home yet, and Chen Yan was worried about their safety, so he left a note for his wish:
"We went to the underground mine tonight, come back tomorrow morning at the latest, and help me take care of the children.

There are three fried chickens for you, all to the left of the fireplace.

On the right side of the fireplace is Marina's supper, remember to remind her to eat... But it's best not to scare her, she seems to be a little sensitive recently.

Thank you very much! "

He left the note next to the pillow, went back to the first floor, explained the precautions in the mine with the team members, and glanced at his watch, the time was already at eight o'clock in the evening.

The children didn't come back, and the wish didn't come, but Chen Yan couldn't wait any longer.

Chen Yan came to the almost finished kitchen, opened the box that sealed the basement, and saw George Lebster, the shrimp man, looking forward to it.

"Tonight is a good opportunity, the ground is calm and there are no tides!"

George Lebster was quite happy at first, but when he saw one figure after another appearing behind Chen Yan, his happiness froze on that shrimp face.

Until all the team members gathered by Chen Yan gathered in the basement of the apartment, the shrimp was a little bit broken.

"Didn't we agree that you are the only one!"

The shrimpman looked at the spherical Tunguska sticking out of Jack Baldo's backpack, and collapsed again:
"Why are there still mice!"

Chen Yan changed the subject cheekily:
"As long as you can come back safely today, I will install the oxygen pump for you tomorrow!"

The shrimp people reluctantly accepted this condition, and said distressedly:
"It will be very dangerous for you guys... The underground is already dangerous, so many of you..."

Chen Yan asked:

"I've been on your boat before, five people are completely fine!"

The shrimp man grabbed the tentacles on the top of his head in pain, and this action caused him even more pain:

"Normal sailing on the lake is no problem! But we are going to go underground, and we have to go through a lot of turbulent descending underground rivers. If the waterline is too low, the boat may capsize!"

Chen Yan frowned:
"Is there such a thing?"

For safety reasons, if such a situation really happens, he may have to think of other ways.

At this time, Swarm suddenly said:

"I am very light, the old man is also very light, and the mouse is also very light. The combination of us will not be very heavy, and the waterline will not be too low."

As soon as the words came out, everyone present was more or less surprised.

Chen Yan said: "Let's try first."

Several people boarded the boat one after another, and at the same time found that when Swarm and Webb boarded the boat, the waterline of the boat barely dropped—it seemed to drop by at most 1 millimeter.

Webber's body has been strained and weighs less, which is easy to understand.

What's up with Swarm?Why is his body almost weightless?

This involves Swarm's identity, so when he was asked, he kept silent.

Chen Yan felt the small bell in his pocket that could cause Swarm to go into shock, and gave up asking.

As the rope tied to the bow was untied, the shrimp man George Lebster rowed the oars, and the boat headed towards the large cave where the Spyro Industrial Office Building was located.

The cold wind in the cave brought strong water vapor. If it weren't for the thick miner's clothing, several people might have been soaked by the water vapor in the cold wind.

The ship did not leave the area where the waterway diverged, but turned at a certain branch of the waterway and entered a fork that Chen Yan didn't know at all.

It was also at this time that the surroundings gradually became dark, and the people on the boat turned on the searchlights above their heads. Before boarding the boat, they used the bucket of snake-kissed rocks from the shrimp people to supplement the power supply of the searchlights. According to the shrimp people, if the searchlights do not happen Bumped or damaged, it can be used for at least 48 hours.

Chen Yan didn't think it would take that long. They didn't even bring any supplies for this trip. They planned to complete the exploration in a short time and return to the ground.

During the voyage, George Lebster the Shrimpman explained in a low voice:
"The other path we took this time can directly bypass the Alpha sector and enter the Beta sector."

"The alpha sector is 50 to 800 meters below the ground, and the entire sector is in the same space. If we want to cross such a large distance, we need to pass through a dozen very turbulent descending channels."

"Before entering the descent channel, I will issue a reminder that you must lower your body and crawl on the bottom of the boat."

As you go deeper into the fork in the waterway, the space above your head becomes more and more narrow, and the tallest Swarm has to bend down to ensure that his head does not touch the stalactites above his head.

The speed of the water flow under the boat is also gradually accelerating. Chen Yan estimates that the speed is at least about 30 yards now, which has already caught up with the speed when the bicycle is moving forward steadily.

I don't know how long it has been deserted here, and the cave area has been occupied by various small things. Chen Yan found at least ten different kinds of bugs among the stalactites above his head, except for three of them that can be detected by modern humans. Apart from the definition of biology, Chen Yan has never seen anything else in his textbooks.

He silently took out his phone, turned on the camera, switched to recording mode, and started recording everything he saw around him.

About 3 minutes later, George Lebster whispered:
"The first descent channel has arrived! Hold on to the hull!"

Everyone lowered their figures, and after waiting nervously for a few seconds, a sense of weightlessness suddenly appeared.

Chen Yan looked at the dark and empty space in front of him, felt the weightlessness that appeared without warning and almost made ordinary people incontinent, and cursed in his heart:
Oh shit!Where is this waterway? !

This is a waterfall!
The sudden weightlessness made everyone almost leave the ship. Chen Yan was holding on to the beam in the center of the boat, but the sudden weightlessness still made him feel a huge sense of powerlessness—he felt like he was about to fly out!

Fortunately, this process only lasted a short three seconds.

Three seconds later, the boat landed on the water, splashing a large amount of water.

"Successful landing!"

George Lebster excitedly said:
“We used to come to this place a lot when we were kids! It was exciting!”

Everyone on the boat was in a mess, and no one was in the mood to talk nonsense to him.

"It's about 3 minutes before the next descending channel... Hurry up and rest!"

George Lebster said to himself:

"There are only two such vertical descending waterways, and the other descending waterways are just steeper, otherwise I wouldn't dare to bring you here."

"By the way, don't look into the water."

Chen Yan recovered first and asked:

"What do you mean?"

George Lebster squeaked:
"The saying passed down by the older generation seems to be that this water area is protected by [Aliuge], and [Aliuge] likes our ethnic group, but he doesn't like humans, so when humans look at the water, He will It will pull people into the water."
