Chapter 477 [Chapter of the Front Cabin of the Abyss] Twenty-one: Heading to the Abyss

The mental state of people inside the checkpoint is completely different.

Because of Chen Yan, the members of the expedition team disguised as miners were more or less aware. They were all extraordinary beings and had seen some bizarre events, so they were relatively calm.

In addition, after seeing Chen Yan's performance, they knew that Chen Yan must know some secrets. It is estimated that when the right opportunity comes, Chen Yan will tell them the current situation.

Captain Prosthetic Eyes and his miners are different. They have no idea what the emergency is before them, and they don't know what they will face if they enter the Tushui Tomb collapse pit. They still have a trace of pity in their hearts.

The sense of security comes entirely from self-brainwashing based on "seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages".

While they tell themselves that "the surroundings are safe and they can still escape," they try their best to restrain their fear of the [Giant Forbidden Zone] and restrain themselves from thinking about the terrible thing about whether they have entered the [Giant Forbidden Zone].

"Let's go now!"

Chen Yan vaguely saw the excitement caused by the desire to survive in the prosthetic eyes of the captain.

Anyway, without further ado.

People at the checkpoint checked their firearms and resupplied ammunition and compressed food in the warehouse inside the checkpoint.

The miners' uniforms worn by people were originally designed with supply issues for long-term operations in mind, so there are pockets on both sides of the miners' uniforms specifically designed to hold small-volume compressed food.

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

In the process, Chen Yan, Jack Baldo and Paulkin Walker obtained some 5.56mm ammunition, while Weber obtained an old double-barreled shotgun. The area around this checkpoint was obviously always in a more dangerous situation.

, so that such supplies should be prepared at all times.

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

This decision was based on the fact that "bacterial spores will spread along the air." The flat monster snake that was killed just now turned into something like a bacterial strain after death. Chen Yan was thinking at that time, this kind of strange snake

Is the principle why snakes cause hallucinations "infecting the human nervous system through bacterial spores and poisoning them, thus creating hallucinations?"

Chen Yan has seen that the air filter element of miners' gas masks is 1.5 microns, which is completely enough to protect against dirty underground air and general toxic gases, but if used to resist bacterial environments, the effect is not very good——

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

If the strange snake really carries some kind of hallucinogenic strain in its body, the probability that this gas mask can provide effective defense is less than 80%.

The remaining 20% ​​probability of ineffective defense, if encountered, is 100% infected.

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

Under Chen Yan's repeated intimidation, the prosthetic eye captain and his miners also put on gas masks after replacing the filter elements. They originally did not wear these masks because it would cause trouble for underground mining operations.

Based on more cautious considerations, people replaced the serpentine rock used to power the searchlight in the battery slot of the helmet searchlight.

After spending nearly ten minutes rectifying, people walked out of the checkpoint gate with suppressed panic.

Outside the checkpoint, the darkness became even quieter. The cold wind blowing in the distance did not carry a single sound. The world shrouded in darkness seemed to be soaked in a silence that was as sticky as colloid.

Chen Yan felt that the air seemed to have become moist. This change aroused his vigilance. In such an environment, any change may be abnormal.

Under the leadership of the prosthetic eye captain, everyone moved forward in an extremely nervous spirit, and ten minutes later, they arrived at the Tuushui Tomb collapse pit without any danger.

Chen Yan and his team members had already been here once, so when they saw the cave collapse again, they didn't feel particularly scared.

But Captain Prosthetic Eyes and his miners were different. After they saw the hole, their expressions in the gas masks looked like they had seen a ghost, and the fear they had just suppressed through self-brainwashing was about to resurface.

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

"I hear the engine! There's someone down there in the hollow!"

It is a spherical Tunguska.

Almost everyone became excited at the sound.

After a brief period of excitement, Chen Yan regained some energy, warned everyone around him, and stepped forward with a gun.

Under the light of the searchlight, the hexagonal mine tunnel diagonally downwards in 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-kissed rocks on both sides of the mine tunnel were illuminated. At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to see countless green stars in the black vortex.

Chen Yan was stunned for a moment before he realized that such a large density of Snake Kiss Rocks was abandoned on the roadside like this!

Seemingly seeing Chen Yan's absence, Captain Prosthetic Eyes walked past him and said at the same time:

"The old ghost at the bottom of the A-17 fan blade is a fucking tyrant! This kind of rich ore mine tunnel will probably be overrun by those poor ghosts in the first three mining areas, but in the A-17 fan blade, it turned out to be

Fucking garbage on the roadside..."

Captain Prosthetic Eyes and his fellow miners walked in front, showing urgency visible to the naked eye in every aspect.

Chen Yan did not fight with them, but signaled his teammates to keep up and asked the spherical Tunguska:

"Is it because so much ore is thrown on the roadside because what has been mined is enough?"

Spherical Tunguska replied:

"Yes, this place is full of very high-grade rich ores, and they don't need to be mined as hard and carefully as in other mining areas."

As we went deeper into the mine tunnel, the sound of the engine coming from the end of the mine tunnel became more and more obvious, and everyone became very excited. The captain with the prosthetic eye even said to his fellow miners:

"This is the latest model of the small crutch! It's the high-tech that Solar's guy bought from the company with a loan! It has a flexible console like an ordinary shuttle mining machine, a large storage room like the new model of the old crutch, and

It has some of the functions of an excavation-type mining machine and can collect ores while traveling underground - this is how they dare to go as deep as the A-17 fan blade!"

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

He was extremely vigilant, and as he hurried on, he paused slightly and "pulled out" a piece of white substance from the stone wall.

When he looked under the searchlight, it turned out to be a rotten snake bone.
