Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 473 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Seventeen: After the Arrival
In the time of a few words, the flames of the engine of the shuttle mining machine not far away seemed to become smaller, and the quiet air made the surrounding darkness thicker.

The air underground is very heavy, and fine dust can be seen in the light. Fortunately, everyone is wearing a gas mask, otherwise they may have already been suffocated by the dirty air.

The light also seemed to be blocked by the filthy air. In addition to the smaller and smaller flames, the overhead searchlights could not even allow people to see the scene three or five meters away—at most five meters away, the vision was blurred.

In a trance, Chen Yan seemed to see some tiny microorganisms in the dust. The microorganisms fed on light, so the light gradually weakened and disappeared after being eaten layer by layer...

Chen Yan shook his head vigorously, and the tiny dusty microorganisms under the beam of the searchlight disappeared again.

Facing the darkness so viscous that it could even swallow light, he thought he had come to the [wilderness] in a trance.

'No... the visibility here is much stronger than in [Wildness]. '

Chen Yan finally came back to his senses, and patted the spherical Tunguska:
"Where is the most likely other team of miners to appear?"

The spherical Tungus is also afraid of such darkness, but now there is no Swarm by his side. Although it is very nervous, it is no longer so scared that it can't even speak as before.

It replied:

"There is a checkpoint in the central area of ​​the A-17 fan blade. There are not only batteries, but also food supplies. In order to guard against the strange snake group, the checkpoint itself is also protected by wall armor. When miners encounter danger, they are most likely to where to!"

Chen Yan thought, from this point of view, the team most likely to go to the checkpoint is actually the team without a shuttle mining machine—if there is a shuttle mining machine that can directly escape the A-17 blade, why go to the checkpoint run?

But now, with almost nowhere to go, they can only go to the checkpoint, hoping to run into that illusory luck.

The remaining four followed the direction guided by the spherical Tunguska, left the range of the fire, and entered the darkness.

The fan blade of A-17 is a large downward slope. Every 50 meters down the slope, there is a branch at the location of the electric pole. Chen Yan counted it in his heart, and it was about at the 13th branch. The spherical Tunguska signaled a left turn.

The four of them turned left and entered the fork where the mine was located, rounded a corner covered by a rock wall, and saw a checkpoint tens of meters away that was still lit with pale lights.

The checkpoint sits to the right of a circular mine track that runs from a hollow in the top rock wall past the checkpoint and disappears into the darkness of the mine beyond.

Although this track does not look new, it has obvious signs of use, and it is a thick "iron rod" style, which is suitable for the latest shuttle mining machine.

The track is not broken, indicating that there may be a shuttle mining machine passing or even docking here.

The team members looked at the checkpoint and the parking lot outside the checkpoint, and the panic caused by the sticky darkness was mostly dispelled by the pale light.

Although they didn't show any panic before, they still felt more or less fear in their hearts. Even if they could rely on courage to suppress the fear, they still just buried the fear in their hearts.

At this time, the checkpoint with pale lights seemed to be the only bright shelter in this dark hell.

They were soon outside the gate of the checkpoint.

Chen Yan reached out to knock on the door, but found that the door was not locked.

He immediately realized that something was wrong, and retracted his hand like an electric shock, and pulled out the Egret-[-] in the next second.

The door opened slowly, and a tide-like rotten bloody smell came from the darkness behind the door. The smell seemed like dead rats had fermented in the sewer in summer for half a month.

At this moment, there is only one thought in Chen Yan's head:
'You can clearly see the light outside, but how could it be dark inside! '

He pulled the trigger under the weight of anomaly and fear.

"boom--"

The sound of a huge gunshot echoed in the space of the mine tunnel, and Chen Yan was thrown out by the recoil of the Egret-[-]. At the same time, there was a painful piercing hiss in the darkness, and the darkness in the checkpoint dissipated, and the lights were brightly lit in the next moment!

"Grass!"

Chen Yan got up cursing, only to see that the atmosphere in front of him was already tense—several guys in thick miner's uniforms were standing inside the door, holding hot weapons in each hand, and Paulkin Walker and Jack Baldo also Not to be outdone, even though there were only two guns, they were all loaded and aimed at the heads of the people on the opposite side.

The atmosphere was already suffocating for a while, but what Chen Yan wanted to know more was what happened just now—how did that shot break through the darkness, revealing the real checkpoint space behind the darkness?
Is the "darkness behind the door" itself a form of life in the [Giant Forbidden Zone]?That's why it was broken by the empowered bullet?

What exactly did the Bailu-[-] bullet hit?
He didn't have time to think about this for the time being, he just said to the people in the checkpoint:
"Many people are powerful! Let us go in, or you will have to face the monsters in the dark by yourself!"

The captain of the miner's team on the opposite side is a guy with nervous eyes. One of his eyes is still intact, but the other eye is an invisible prosthetic eye, but Chen Yan always feels that he is looking at himself with that prosthetic eye.

Chen Yan said again:

"I'm afraid you don't know that the thing in the dark will 'resurrect the dead', and every dead person may be their minion!"

The captain's face suddenly changed, and he suddenly turned his gun, aiming at the head of his teammate next to him with a stream of bullets.

The blood flower exploded very close to Chen Yan, and no one could avoid it.

The person who was attacked did not fall to the ground stiffly like a corpse. His head was smashed, but his body was still standing. There was no blood splashing from his neck, but there were countless small "strange snakes" crawling from his smashed neck. Come out, devour his flesh and blood along his body, and in the blink of an eye, he has eaten up his body in the miner's suit.

It stands to reason that the volume of the strange snake crawling out of his neck could never be larger than his body, but now, the entire miner's uniform is stuffed with "strange snakes", which looks bloated from the outside It was unbearable, as if it was about to explode at any time.

At this moment, the people inside and outside the door reached a surprisingly unanimous tacit understanding—they simultaneously shot at the miners' uniforms that were about to burst.

"Da da da……"

Disorderly gunshots resounded in the narrow space, piercing screams erupted from the miner's uniform, and a mass of blackness crawled out of the fallen miner's uniform, trying to escape to the depths of the mine.

The dense firepower was instantly transferred to the dark mass of indescribable thing.

In an instant, black flesh and blood flew across, and the thing was beaten out of shape almost instantly.

When people inside and outside the door saw this situation, they immediately felt a great sense of security. This sense of security came from the hot weapons in their hands, from the well-prepared ammunition, and from the shell of the strange creature that exploded under the muzzle.
