Chapter 472 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Sixteen: Death by Hallucination

"[Giant Forbidden Zone] is alive..."

Chen Yan suffered a brief brain short-circuit due to this news.

Parrett's voice continued in his ears:

‘Yes, the [Giant Forbidden Zone] is alive, and its scope of influence is uncertain:

Although some places in the Omega Sector were dug up, there were no abnormalities.

But after some areas were dug out, a large part of the inside of the fan blade was contaminated by the [Giant Object Forbidden Zone] - even an entire fan blade was wrapped in the [Giant Object Forbidden Zone]!'

'Many people died because of this, and even more people were tricked into entering the [Giant Forbidden Zone] and did not know whether they would live or die, because they could never come back!'

Chen Yan suddenly realized:

"You just said 'everything is false' just to prevent us from being included in the [Giant Forbidden Zone]."

Parrett said:

'Yes, because based on previous experience, 'hallucination' will lead people step by step to the [Giant Forbidden Zone], just like the scene we just saw, we will be blinded by that illusory scene, and therefore'think to ourselves

To 'enter the [Giant Forbidden Zone].'

'Once you enter the [Giant Forbidden Zone], you will never be able to get out!'

Chen Yan asked further:

"You just said that there is something in the [Giant Forbidden Zone] that wants to be resurrected? What is going on?"

Parrett replied:

'This is one of their methods - to cause the death of people through hallucinations, and then they will occupy the human body and manipulate the corpse to achieve the purpose of guiding other people.'

Chen Yan muttered:

"That's why you just let us escape...instead of shooting the hallucinating Swam."

Parrett admitted:

'Yes.'

Chen Yan felt cold in his heart. He was glad that he had the Skylark-300 in his hand at that time instead of the Egret-1. If he had used the Egret-1 to hit Swarm, Swarm would definitely have turned into a headless corpse.

…

He thought of what he had experienced before and asked again:

"The haunting you mentioned before...is this the case?"

There was doubt in Parrett's voice:

‘No… although hauntings and [Giant Forbidden Zone] are both supernatural events, their natures are too different:

Haunting is just one or a few people suddenly experiencing strange changes;

The invasion of the [Giant Forbidden Zone] caused by digging the fan blades in the Omega Sector is an extremely vicious incident of large-scale casualties. It is one of the most serious accidents inside the mine, comparable to a mine collapse - this is different from ordinary hauntings.

completely different!'

When Chen Yan heard this, he felt his head was extremely confused. He took a few seconds to sort out his thoughts and sort out the information he knew so far:

First (information obtained before entering the underground): Within the Omega Sector is the cemetery of the "strange snake" group. The accumulation of a large number of snake corpses here has caused supernatural events, that is, "haunting".

"Haunting" will cause someone or some people to suddenly see something that does not exist, and then lose control, commit suicide, or manipulate a machine to carry out a suicide attack.

Second (information obtained before entering the underground): There is a [City of Overlapping Peaks] somewhere outside the mining area, and there is a [Brain Ball Strain] in [City of Overlapping Peaks] that can cause hallucinations.

[Brain ball strain] is highly infectious and hallucinogenic. It is a highly infectious strain that can cause severe sleepwalking, schizophrenia, and the emergence of a second personality.

Third (Information learned after entering the Omega Sector): Outside the Omega Sector is the [Giant Forbidden Zone], and there are "things" in the [Giant Forbidden Zone] that can cause hallucinations.

Chen Yan had a strong feeling in his heart. He felt that the [Giant Forbidden Zone] was the [City of Overlapping Mountains]!

However, the [Giant Forbidden Zone] described by Bald Parrett is still significantly different from the [City of Mountains] in Chen Yan’s impression——

Bald Man said that the [Giant Forbidden Zone] is alive and its range is not fixed.

But according to the information Chen Yan learned before, [City of Mountains] is obviously the ruins of an underground city, how could it be "alive"?

The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more confused he became. There seemed to be millions of unanswered questions fermenting in his head. This feeling was extremely painful and brought him uncontrollable irritability.

He roughly opened his backpack, looked at the spherical Tunguska who was paralyzed in the backpack with fear, and slapped him:

"Wake up!"

Spherical Tunguska screamed, and the fear in his tone immediately overflowed:

"Don't kill me! Don't kill me!"

Chen Yan said angrily:

"If you keep talking nonsense, you will really die here!"

Spherical Tungus recognized that this was the "real" Chen Yan, and most of his fear immediately dissipated. He glanced at Swam and said to Chen Yan in a begging voice:

"Let's stay away from him! He is a disaster! All the weird things in the underground are coming for him! As long as we stay away from him, we can survive!"

Chen Yan frowned and said:

"What on earth do you know?"

Swam on the side suddenly said:

"It's right. Those things underground are coming for us. It's because of our arrival that the [Giant Object Forbidden Zone] smelled it, so the [Giant Object Forbidden Zone] came to find us."

"The strange snakes are coming for us. In order to keep us here, they destroyed the way back. We can't take the public shuttle mining machine."

"The [Giant Object Forbidden Zone] is also coming for us. In order to keep us, it has affected you."

Swam showed an ugly smile:

"sorry."

Even the spherical Tunguska, who was full of malice towards him, could hear the apology in his tone.

Swam said in a deep voice:

"We remembered something... It is our mission to come here. This is true when we face the strange snake group, and it is also true when we face the [Giant Forbidden Zone]."

"This is our destiny."

When he said this, Swam's expression became determined again.

Chen Yan could see from his face at this moment that he must have something particularly important that he had not told them.

What Chen Yan didn't expect was that Swam actually said to him immediately:

"Now, let us help you one last time."

After Swam finished speaking, he turned around and ran towards the dark depths of the A-17 fan blades.

There was no way that there was any weird thing existing in the darkness. Chen Yan and his teammates couldn't possibly chase him so rashly. They could only watch as his figure was swallowed up by the increasingly dense darkness.

Chen Yan watched his back disappear blankly, suddenly came to his senses, and shouted loudly:

"Who will find the mining machine for us if you leave!"

No response came from the darkness.

Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

"Grass!"

Chen Yan cursed and gave several 5.56mm "Law of Conviction" empowered bullets to Paulkin Walker, and told him that these bullets were very precious and could kill monsters different from humans.

The surroundings were thick and dark, and he could not enter the darkness rashly before he understood the situation. Chen Yan used this time to tell the other three people the information that Bald Parrett had just said in a simple narrative.

After he finished speaking, he heard Paulkin Walker beside him say slowly and thoughtfully:

"If we follow this theory, the [Giant Object Forbidden Zone] should affect more than just us. You see, the [Giant Object Forbidden Zone] comes from the 'outer edge' of the Omega Sector A-17 fan blade, and

We are now close to the 'inner edge' of the A-17 fan blades and close to the public shuttle mining machine track. Logically speaking, we are the furthest away from the influence range of the [Giant Object Restricted Area]."

"The other mining teams of A-17 Fan Blade should have been affected by the [Giant Forbidden Zone] before us. They were affected, so naturally they couldn't escape with the shuttle mining machine at the first time."

"In other words, we hope to find the shuttle mining machines of other teams."
