Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 490 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] 34: The End Is Near
The waters were dark and boundless, Chen Yan knew he had to do something, he tried desperately to open his eyes.

In the brief clear vision, Chen Yan couldn't see anyone - he couldn't see the mining machine, he couldn't see the person who was rushed out of the mining machine, he couldn't see the captain of the prosthetic eye, and he couldn't see the man who was possessed by Brother Aliu. Cyborg Quinn.

Only the giant in the dark, the black shadow that occupies most of the area below the waters, always exists at the end of the range of sight.

At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly realized that he should already be in the [Giant Forbidden Zone].

The cyclical undercurrent drove his body to rotate continuously, and his brain finally couldn't hold on in this erratic rotation, and began to feel dizzy.

Chen Yan was dizzy, and didn't know what was happening around him. He just subconsciously tried his best to maintain his consciousness, and subconsciously clenched the pocket on his chest that held the spherical Tunguska.

He has no time to think about whether the spherical Tunguska can survive in such a long-term underwater environment. The only brainpower he has left can only support one idea——If he can escape, the spherical Tunguska who is familiar with the underground circuit is his last. hope.

Amidst the turbulent undercurrent, Chen Yan finally completely lost consciousness.

……

Unexamined, like a dream that has gone through an unknown number of years.

Numerous impressions intertwine in disorder, and endless light and shadow appear cascadingly.

With a "bang" sound coming from his head, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the faint light coming from nowhere, the spherical Tunguska was throwing a small stone aside.

"you're awake!"

The little one was almost crying.

Chen Yan didn't reply, the water was so cold that he was terribly frozen, even a layer of ice had formed on his hair and eyebrows.

The various functions of the body gradually recovered as they woke up, and the sound of the tide washing away the gravel on the shore came immediately, and a fire appeared in his vision. Chen Yan took a closer look and found that the fire came from the exploded shuttle mining machine !
The shuttle mining machine was on the other side of the water bank tens of meters away from him, and the entire mining machine was wrapped in a fire.

Chen Yan looked at the still intact storage cabin, and suddenly realized something, his face changed suddenly, he turned over, grabbed the spherical Tunguska, gritted his teeth and restrained his numb legs, trembling and crawling away Run in the direction of the shore.

He had just run less than twenty steps when there was a sudden loud explosion sound from behind——

"boom!"

Chen Yan subconsciously turned around to look back, and saw that the storage compartment of the mining machine had exploded, and green flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the entire area like a ghost.

The electric current caused by the explosion came into contact with the water area, and there was a momentary reaction, as if a green thunder appeared underwater, reflecting the numerous bones under the water area—under the water area, there were all corpses of strange snakes.

Chen Yan had seen the scene of the "underwater cemetery" when he was in the waters of the cave before. Now that he saw it again, he was not very scared, but felt regretful, because the Snake Kiss Rock, which he dug so hard, just exploded like this... …

Holding his still numb body, he limped towards a place farther from the shore.

Through the light of the fire, he saw the current scene in front of him:

Inside the shore, there is no longer a mine area made of black gravel, but a relatively wide "platform" made of complete black granite.

Above the black granite platform, close to the water, dense stalactites can be seen.

But on the part further inside the platform, you can’t see what’s above—even at the moment when the green fire erupted, Chen Yan could only see a black hole, but couldn’t see the rock structure further up ——This shows that the "dome" of this underground area is very high.

The surroundings are quiet, there are no other sounds except the sound of wind and flames jumping.

Perhaps it was because the breeze was not cold, but even had a hint of warmth. Chen Yan relaxed his vigilance, took off the already soaked miner's uniform, cleaned out the accumulated water inside, and then put it back on again. .

The filter element of the gas mask was a new one that had just been replaced at the A-17 fan blade central inspection station, but after passing through the water, I don’t know if it can be used. Chen Yan pulled out the filter element, shook it vigorously, and put it back into the gas mask. Hope this thing can come in handy in the future.

Fortunately, the quality of the miner's boots is surprisingly good, and I don't know what kind of process the rubber is made of. After so many devastations, it is still intact, but it has been soaked in water and is a little damp.

The helmet was not damaged either. To Chen Yan's great surprise, the circuit connected to the searchlight on the top of the helmet was sealed well and no water had entered, so after turning the switch, the searchlight was still able to emit light!
The Snake Kiss Rock in the searchlight was also just replaced at the A-17 fan blade central checkpoint. According to the previous second-hand dealer, this thing can be lit for at least 48 hours.

The bad news is that Chen Yan already felt hungry—after such a high-intensity toss, he was finally hungry.

Fortunately, I took some compressed dry food at the checkpoint before, and those compressed dry food were packaged in plastic. Even though the miners' uniforms were soaked, the dry food was not affected.

He took out the dry food, distributed a pack to the spherical Tungus, and settled it on the spot.

After coming back from a desperate situation, both Chen Yan and Tunguska needed to take a break, and the time for eating was just used to relieve physical and mental exhaustion and trauma caused by the thrill.

After finishing all this, the feeling of fullness came clearly, and Chen Yan finally felt his limbs warm up again.

He looked at the spherical Tunguska who was looking around, and asked, "Where are we now?"

The tone of the spherical Tunguska was somewhat uncertain: "It stands to reason... We had an accident in the waters of the Gamma sector, and this is obviously not a mining area..."

It pauses here.

"There are two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that our current location is already on the edge of [City of Overlapping Mountains]."

"The second possibility is that we have come to a ghostly place that no one has ever been to. This is a new area under Yanan City except for the waters of the cave, the fan leaves of the mining area, and the city of overlapping mountains!"

Chen Yan asked:

"Is it [Giant Forbidden Area]?"

Spherical Tunguska felt some kind of pain that Chen Yan couldn't understand because of the name, and scratched his little head with his paws:

"Oh! Yes! Damn it! The [Giant Forbidden Zone] is just outside the mining area! We may be pulled into the [Giant Forbidden Zone]!"

Chen Yan said succinctly:

"The giant snake we just saw in the waters is obviously something within the [Giant Forbidden Zone]. Only such an existence is worthy of the name 'Giant'."

"If it is true as you said, the giant snake came from the city of mountains, then it seems that the city of mountains is a forbidden area for giants."

"We are now at the edge of [City of Stacked Mountains]."
