Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 477 [Chapter of the Front Cabin of the Abyss] 21: Going to the Abyss
The psychological state of people inside the checkpoint is completely different.

Due to Chen Yan's reason, the members of the expedition team disguised as miners had more or less a clue in their minds. They were all extraordinary and had seen some bizarre events, so they were still calm.

In addition, after seeing Chen Yan's performance, they knew that Chen Yan must know some secrets, and they estimated that Chen Yan would tell them the current situation when the right opportunity came.

Captain Prosthetic Eye is different from his miners. They don't know what the emergency in front of them is, and they don't know what they will face if they enter the collapsed pit of the water inrush grave. They still have a trace of pity in their hearts. My sense of security comes entirely from self-brainwashing based on "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages".

While telling themselves that "the surroundings are safe and they can still escape", they desperately restrained their fear of the [giant restricted area], and restrained themselves from thinking about whether they had entered the [giant restricted area], which is a terrible thing.

"Let's go now!"

Chen Yan vaguely saw the excitement caused by the desire to survive in the prosthetic eye of Captain Prosthetic Eye.

Anyway, without further ado.

The people in the checkpoint checked their firearms, and restocked ammunition and compressed food in the warehouse inside the checkpoint.

The miner's clothing on people's body was designed with the supply problem of long-time operation in mind, so there are pockets on both sides of the miner's clothing specially used to hold small-volume compressed food.

Chen Yan also took some, but he hoped that the food would not need to be used.

Along the way, Chen Yan, Jack Baldo, and Paul Kim Walker got hold of some 5.56mm ammunition, while Webb got his hands on an old double-barreled shotgun. It's clearly been a more dangerous situation around this checkpoint , so that such supplies should be prepared at any time.

In addition, at Chen Yan's request, his team members replaced the air filter of the gas mask.

This decision was based on the fact that "bacterial spores will spread along the air". The flat snake that was killed just now turned into something like a strain after death. Chen Yan was thinking at that time, this monster The principle of snake hallucinations is whether it is "infecting the human nervous system through bacterial spores and poisoning them, thereby creating hallucinations."

Chen Yan has seen that the air filter element of miners' gas masks is 1.5 microns, which is completely sufficient to prevent underground dirty air and general poisonous gas, but if it is used to resist bacterial environments, the effect is not so good——

In general, bacterial spores range in size from 0.5 microns to 5 microns.

If the strange snake really carries some kind of hallucinogenic strain, the probability that this gas mask can effectively defend against it is less than 80%.

The remaining 20% ​​of the probability of ineffective defense, as long as it is encountered, is 100% infected.

In this case, you can only take protective measures as much as possible.

Under Chen Yan's repeated intimidation, Captain Prosthetic Eye and his miners also put on the gas masks after replacing the filter element. They didn't wear this thing originally because it would cause trouble to the underground mining operations.

Based on more prudent considerations, people replaced the battery slot of the helmet searchlight with the Snake Kiss Rock that powers the searchlight.

After nearly 10 minutes of rectification, people walked out of the gate of the checkpoint in restrained panic.

Outside the checkpoint, the darkness was even quieter. The cold wind blowing in the distance did not carry the slightest sound. The world shrouded in darkness seemed to be soaked in the viscous silence like colloid.

Chen Yan felt that the air seemed to have become humid, and this change aroused his vigilance. Under such an environment, any change might be abnormal.

Under the leadership of Captain Prosthetic Eye, everyone marched all the way in an extremely tense spirit, and after 10 minutes, they arrived at the collapse pit of the water bursting grave without any danger.

Chen Yan and his team members had already been here once, so when they saw the cavern that collapsed again, they didn't feel particularly frightened.

But Captain Prosthetic Eye and his miners were different. After they saw the hole, the expressions in their gas masks looked like they had seen a ghost, and the suppressed fear that had just been self-brainwashed was about to reappear.

What made the string in their heads not continue to be pulled or even broken was the excited shout from Chen Yan's backpack:

"I hear an engine! There's someone down there!"

It is spherical Tunguska.

Almost everyone was excited by the sound.

After a short period of excitement, Chen Yan regained some energy, issued a warning to everyone around him, and stepped forward with a gun.

Under the light of the searchlight, the slanting hexagonal mine tunnel inside the cavity was illuminated. Although the slope of the mine tunnel was relatively steep, it was barely enough for people to stand on.

Also under the light of the searchlight, the dense green Snake Kiss Rock on both sides of the mine was illuminated. At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to see countless green stars in the black vortex.

Chen Yan shook his head for a moment before realizing that such dense Snake Kiss Rock was just abandoned on the side of the road!

As if seeing Chen Yan's loss of consciousness, Captain Prosthetic Eye walked past him and said at the same time:
"The old ghost at the bottom of the A-17 fan blade is fucking arrogant! This kind of rich ore mine is estimated to be robbed by the poor ghosts in the first three mining areas, but in the A-17 fan blade, it has become Fucking trash on the side of the road..."

Captain Prosthetic Eye and his fellow miners walked ahead, and they showed urgency visible to the naked eye in all aspects.

Chen Yan did not compete with them, but signaled his teammates to follow the pace, and asked the spherical Tunguska:
"So much ore is thrown away on the side of the road, is it because what has already been mined is enough?"

Spherical Tunguska replied:

"Yeah, this place is full of very high-level rich ore, and it doesn't need to be mined as hard and carefully as the other mines."

As we went deeper into the mine, the sound of the engine from the end of the mine became more and more obvious, and everyone became very excited because of this. Captain Prosthetic Eye even said to his fellow miners:
"This is the latest model of Xiaoguai! It is the high-tech that Solal bought from the company with a loan! It has a flexible console like an ordinary shuttle mining machine, and a large storage room like the new model of Laoguai. Possess the functions of a part of the mining machine, which can collect ore while traveling underground - this is the confidence they dare to go to the depth of the A-17 fan blade!"

Listening to his words, Chen Yan scanned the two sides of the hexagonal mine tunnel back and forth with the searchlight above his head, and soon discovered that there were many white substances in the stone walls on both sides of the mine tunnel.

He was very vigilant in his heart, and while he was on his way, he paused slightly, and "pulled out" a piece of white substance from the stone wall.

Putting it under the searchlight, it turned out to be a rotten snake bone.
