Chapter 447 Before departure
"It looks like a snake, but the body is not as well-proportioned as a snake. The triangular head is larger and the needle-like tail is very small."
George Lebster gestured with his hands:
"The strange snake I saw at that time had a triangular head about the size of my hand, but its tail was only one-fifth the size of my little finger."
"This thing has three pairs of compound eyes, but the eyes are not normal eyeballs, but a mass of something like conductive gel."
"This thing doesn't have the teeth like a snake. Its mouth has rings and rings of teeth inward - many layers of teeth, no flesh visible, just...teeth."
"Its bite force is very strong. The one I saw at that time was probably a larvae, but it was already able to bite lead amalgam."
Chen Yan asked:
"What happened to that thing in the end?"
When George Lebster said this, he showed obvious depression:
"Later... that thing bit several people to death, its body grew larger, and then it uttered human words..."
Things suddenly became bizarre.
"It said that if we help it return to its hometown, it will not eat us."
"We are just a few electricians, how dare we refuse it."
"At that time, the Omega Sector had been developed, and everyone knew about the underground cemetery, so we were wondering, could the hometown it mentioned be the Omega Sector?"
"After we told it about the Omega Sector, it showed obvious doubts, as if... it didn't know about the Omega Sector, and it didn't know about the underground cemetery at all."
"My brother promised it at that time that he would send it back underground."
"I don't know what happened later, but the supervisors came and finally killed it after paying the price of two lives."
"They took the body away for study. I remember that at that time, a laboratory had been built in the company's office building, and the top management of Spyro Industries had begun to study the snake species."
George Lebster paused and then said:
"I don't know if it's because of this, but the company later issued new regulations that snakes cannot be taken away from the Omega Sector. Once discovered, it is equivalent to a breach of contract, and the underground group will have their bodies taken back, and humans will be terminated from the contract.
After drinking the water made from the sheep's lower body, it is sent back to the surface."
Chen Yan muttered:
"How do they control the news from leaking out? The Orochi tribe is almost a new creature, and there must be many forces on the surface interested in it."
Especially existences like the Northern Federal Bureau of Abnormal Biological Investigation and the Mida Department of Abnormal Biology."
The shrimp man thought:
"I don't know what's going on on the surface. I just know that the company checked the channels leading to the surface a long time ago and sealed them all."
"My room is an exception..."
Chen Yan was a little embarrassed:
"After the kitchen is repaired, you can come up for dinner later."
The shrimp man said in surprise:
"Really!"
This tribe of shrimp people is really simple...
But Chen Yan doesn't like eating mutated spicy crayfish, and he is really showing goodwill.
"certainly."
After George Lebster thanked him repeatedly, Chen Yan had weighed the risk and felt that he could bear such a risk.
So, he said to the shrimp man:
"I want to go underground again."
The shrimp man had long expected that he would reach this point. Although he had simulated it countless times in his little head, he was still panicked when he actually faced Chen Yan's request.
He forced himself to calm down and slowly told Chen Yan the route he had already planned:
"It's a chaotic time underground and everyone is very busy, so it's actually a good time for you."
This tone seems a bit inappropriate...
The shrimp man is getting more and more nervous.
"The company is actually very taboo about outsiders entering the mining area, because now there are more and more devices that can take pictures. They are afraid that if someone takes some pictures of things in the mining area and shows them to people in the surface society, it will cause unnecessary trouble.
…
In fact, underground mining operations have always been carried out secretly. Although some human miners will be recruited due to insufficient manpower, they will sign an agreement before joining the company to prevent the company's affairs from being leaked."
Chen Yan said:
"This kind of confidentiality is too bad."
George Lebster nodded:
"Yes, even maintenance electricians like us know everything! Those pirates are just messing around!"
After complaining, it glanced at the time nervously, seized the moment and said:
"Today is Sunday. I work at 8 a.m. this week, but next week I will have to work shift at 8 p.m.
So, if you want to go underground next week, you have to do it during the day, when I will be home."
"If you want to go, it's best to be prepared before going."
It said nonsense out of nervousness, because it had never done anything so dangerous in its life.
"The inspections have been too strict recently, so we can't go through the office building this time, we have to take another small road."
"It's a small waterway. I used to play there when I was a kid. It's relatively private, but the current is a bit turbulent and a little dangerous. If you can't catch the boat, you will be sucked into the rapids."
Chen Yan rubbed his chin:
"You don't want to take this opportunity to kill me."
The shrimp man was frightened. He never expected Chen Banyan to say such a thing.
Chen Yan smiled and patted his shoulder:
"It's just a joke!"
George Lebster suddenly felt relieved and said with a sad face:
"This is not a funny joke!"
He glanced at his watch again, calculating how long it was until work time, and spoke faster again:
"By following that trail, we can bypass the Alpha sector and directly enter the Beta sector.
Beta Sector has been hollowed out and many of the mines have been abandoned, so it's very safe there."
"Beta sector is the safest sector, and it is connected in all directions. Once you get there, you can easily reach the upward alpha sector and the downward gamma sector."
"As for the Omega Sector... To be honest, I don't recommend going there, because it's too dangerous for you alone, and it's hard to bring the ore back... It's too far from the surface, unless you can do it
A shuttle mining machine.”
At this point, he glanced at Chen Yan, not sure whether intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Yan asked grandly:
“Where can I get a shuttle mining machine?”
George Lebster was startled:
"This... Generally, shuttle mining machines are organized into teams. If you want to grab one, you need to deal with an entire team of miners... But most miner teams have at least a dozen people. In order to guard against the miners in the darkness underground,
Monsters are all equipped with fire weapons and are very difficult to deal with."
Chen Yan nodded and said:
"Understood."
After a brief hesitation, the shrimp man said nervously:
"It's just you, right?"
Chen Yan affirmed:
"Yes."
The shrimp man nodded:
"One person can do it, but if there are more people, it can't be done. Although there is still chaos underground, the risk is still very high."
