Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 494 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] 38: City of Death and Birth

There are constant warm and humid breezes blowing from the hollow darkness, and Chen Yan can feel the flow of the wind on his exposed skin, which feels very comfortable, but reason tells him that the wind may contain [brain ball strain], So be sure not to remove the gas mask...

Chen Yan already figured it out, at this point in time today, what he is facing is likely to be a "resurrected" city of mountains - what exists in the darkness in front of him is probably a powerful and weird bacterial civilization!
He looked at the darkness in front of him that was not considered "dark", felt the warm and moist breeze blowing on his face, and subconsciously thought:

The strains that grow in this environment should not like light, so even if there is light in the city of overlapping peaks, the light will not be too strong...

If what he is facing is really a "resurrected" city of mountains, then the searchlight above his head will definitely arouse the disgust of the strain people, and even attack out of biological instinct.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan silently adjusted the light intensity of the searchlight overhead, keeping it at a level where he could barely see the road about five meters ahead.

At the same time, he thought to himself, in fact, according to the information he has obtained now, he can have a rough definition of the [exit] that Spyro Industries found in the city of mountains later:

The [exit] that the staff of Spyro Industries found in the city of mountains back then is probably the [crack] that happened in the laboratory that year.

If the [exit] is not the [rift] that mutated that year, then it must be a kind of [rift] that leads to a deeper world——

"The [exit] in the city of overlapping hills", and the "crack leading to [brass pipe space]" that once existed in the attic of No. 33 Walker Street apartment, and the "chimney leading to [wilderness]" on the top of No. ", is the existence of the same kind.

This apartment is really a fucking ghost, why is this kind of thing everywhere, why did Gouyue’s third uncle give this apartment to me, I was also fascinated by ghosts for a while...

Chen Yan scolded inwardly and let go of his emotions before regaining his senses.

For the time being, he called the [exit] that the staff of Spyro Industries found in the city of mountains as the [exit rift]. He thinks this is more appropriate.

He thought for a while, and then said in a low voice: "Parrett, besides the [exit rift] you just mentioned, is there any other place to leave the city of mountains? I'm talking about returning to the surface."

The bald Parrett didn't know about the [Crack] experiment that the Rice University Research Institute failed, so he felt that Chen Yan's name for [Exit] was strange, but he still replied:
'The expedition team formed by the company employees who entered the city of mountains did not find such a road, but I think that such a road exists. '

Saying this is like not saying it.

Chen Yan is not as optimistic as him.

Because, according to his deduction, if the city of overlapping peaks has really been pulled into the [wilderness], then, according to what Chen Yan has learned about the [wilderness], once it enters the wilderness, there are only two people who leave. Method:
One is to go back the same way.

The second is to guide where you want to go through the "strong thoughts" generated in your heart.

The first method is completely impossible, even if he is killed, he does not want to enter the waters full of ghosts in the gamma sector.

The second method is more metaphysical. When he was almost desperate in the wilderness before, according to the fingerprints of hymn 13, "the strongest thought appeared in his mind", and then he went to the mine in the Alpha sector-" A strong will will mark the way forward", which seems to be one of the rules in the [Wildness] discovered by the ascetic monks of the choral group.

Chen Yan tried to get a strong thought of "I want to go back to the apartment" in her heart, but it didn't work.

He cursed in his heart, thinking, this rule obviously has other restrictions.

That being the case, so far, the only "passage" that can lead to the surface of the city of mountains is the elevator that Tunguska and Alice once took.

The bottom end of the elevator was somewhere in the city of mountains, and the top was somewhere inside Miskatonic University.

As long as you can find the elevator, you can leave the city of mountains!

Chen Yan thought for a moment, and said to the spherical Tunguska who was bowing his head at his feet:
"Before we went underground today, I promised you that I would go to the city of mountains to find a way to help you survive. Now that we have arrived, I need you to remember some of the roads you have traveled in the past."

It's a pity that Chen Yan couldn't observe any reaction from the little thing, it was just silent, as if thinking about something.

So he continued:
"If you don't want to face that horror again, we're going to find the elevator back to the surface—the elevator you encountered when you met Cyborg Quinn."

After a moment of silence, Tungus Spherical said in a low voice:

"In any case... I must go to the place where the phonograph existed back then."

Chen Yan said:
"definitely no problem."

Since it is necessary to pass through the city of overlapping mountains anyway, it is not unacceptable to go further.

"We're ready to go..."

Just as Chen Yan finished speaking, the phone rang suddenly in his pocket.

Surprised, he unzipped the zipper and took out his cell phone, only to see Paulkin Walker's name displayed on the screen.

Is there a signal underground? !
wrong……

Chen Yan looked at the "X" displayed in the signal column on the upper right corner of the mobile phone, and thought that the mobile phone in the form of external limbs might not need a signal tower at all, but operate through biological waves.

He swiped the screen and connected the phone.

"Chen Yan! You have also gone ashore!"

Paulkin Walker's voice was very low, and the fear in his words was not full of fear, but more of surprise.

Chen Yan replied:

"Where are you now? Did you see anyone else?"

Paulkin Walker's voice was lowered again, almost inaudible. Chen Yan had to press the phone to his face to hear the faint sound from the microphone.

"Listen, I'm a little confused about what's going on around me..."

Paulkin Walker's voice came intermittently from the microphone:

"Me, Jack, Webb, and some miners from that miner squad went ashore together, and after we got ashore, we met some... strange people.

They don't understand Imperial, but they're somehow interested in us... mainly in Jack, damn it, they look like they've seen the hottest Rabbit in downtown.

We were escorted into a...damn, I don't know what the fuck it is, it's like some kind of vehicle, a vehicle that travels through the air.

Webb says there are strains all over the place, we're probably infected, and Webb is getting weak...poor old chap, he's probably dying. "

Having said that, Paulkin Walker changed the subject, and with almost uncontrollable joy in his tone, he said something that made Chen Yan feel cold:
"And... I saw my Dahlia! She's not that monster anymore! She's with me now!"
