Chapter 479 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Twenty-three: Mental Barrier

Captain Prosthetic Eyes and his fellow miners began to run forward. The sound of the dense footsteps stepping on the water-filled mine tunnels sounded extremely harsh, like some kind of monster that was constantly swallowing with hunger.

Chen Yan became wary because of the strange metaphors that appeared in his mind.

'Fuck...how could I have such a deformed idea...'

For some unknown reason, he felt a little dizzy, and there was a dizziness in his head that would only occur when exhausted.

The prosthetic eye captain and his miner teammates were still shouting excitedly. Even from a few meters away, through the thick miners' uniforms and gas masks, Chen Yan could hear the unusual excitement in their voices.

Chen Yan listened to their excited shouts and felt the strange atmosphere around him, always feeling that something was wrong.

'What's wrong...'

In intense confusion, Chen Yan looked at his teammates around him.

The spherical Tunguska in the backpack shivered all over and said over and over again: "Chen Yan, something is wrong, Chen Yan, we shouldn't come to this damn place, I feel like there are eyes everywhere, eyes everywhere... Let's leave!

!”

Through the gas mask, Chen Yan saw Weber frowning, as if he felt some discomfort. When he felt Chen Yan's gaze, Weber whispered: "Let's not rush on our way..."

Paulkin Walker beside Weber had already picked up the gun. His face was full of vigilance, like a trapped beast. After feeling Chen Yan's gaze, he also said: "Damn, this place is very weird.

, I always feel like I’m being watched.”

Finally, Chen Yan stopped Jack Baldo who was walking in front.

Chen Yan patted his shoulder, and he turned around - and saw that under the searchlight and in the gas mask, Jack Baldo's face had completely turned into a shriveled face like a mummy!

Jack Baldo turned into a living corpse!

"I...I suddenly feel a little hungry." There was a trembling panic in Jack Baldo's voice: "You have to say a few words to me from time to time. If I don't reply, you will run away!"

What the hell is going on!

Is it an hallucination caused by the strain beside the mine tunnel?

Unless Jack Baldo is fatally injured, he should not turn into a living corpse... So, the living corpse state of Jack Baldo in front of me is actually my hallucination?

Chen Yan didn't know the answer to this question.

He thought again, was the something wrong I felt just now also caused by the bacterial strain on the side of the mine tunnel?!

Countless thoughts suddenly appeared in Chen Yan's mind, causing Chen Yan's inner alarm to ring loudly.

‘During my reasoning just now, I overlooked something!’

'what is it?!'

Chen Yan knew that his consciousness must have been affected, and according to the current situation, the only thing that can affect people's minds is the hallucinogenic strain!

While thinking hard, Chen Yan finally remembered something.

‘Yes...that’s right! I remembered it!

When we were in the cave waters before, Spherical Tunguska once told me that it had read the company’s investigation report and found that there was a strain in the crevices of the rock wall that could transform rocks into serpentine rocks...

It’s the [colloidal moss] I just saw that feeds on strange snakes. It has long been named [Snake Kiss Strain] by the company!

But I totally forgot about it!’

'At that time, I still didn't understand whether the thing that turned the rock into the electrically charged ore [Snake-nose Rock] was the secretion of the strange snake group, or was it the [Snake-snout Strain] that fed on the strange snakes?'

‘Now it seems that the [Snake Snout Strain] and the strange snake tribe may coexist.’

'Also...and! There are four kinds of strange snakes I encountered, not three! Next to the engine that exploded at the front of the A-17 fan blade, Paulkin Walker once killed dozens of insect-like strange snakes.

, that is also one of the strange snake groups - I actually forgot about what just happened!'

‘Damn it! I’m about to die! Can I remember these balls to use!?’

'Anyway, my brain must have been affected by the [Snake-kissed Strain]!'

Countless thoughts exploded in Chen Yan's head. He didn't know what happened. Why was part of his memory suddenly forgotten, and his spirit suddenly became this panicked state? He could only attribute it all to

The influence of [Snake Kiss Strain] on him.

Things had progressed to this point and were completely beyond Chen Yan's control. He immediately made a decision and said to his teammates:

"We can't go any deeper! Let's get out of here!"

When they turned around to leave, they found that the road they came on was gone, and there was only a black stone wall made of [Snake-kissed Plant] in front of them. The road they came on was completely blocked, as if it had never existed!

The spherical Tunguska screamed in Chen Yan’s backpack:

"It's over! We're being targeted by them!"

Bald Parrett's voice also reached Chen Yan's ears:

'Don't panic! According to the company's previous research, [Snake Kiss Strain] can catalyze negative emotions. Once you panic, the panic will continue to increase in your heart!'

'You must understand that all weirdness is fake! All terror is an illusion caused by [Snake Kiss Strain] to you! Don't believe in the bizarre things in front of you!'

Following Bald Parrett's prompting, Chen Yan felt awe-inspiring, tightened his mind, and consciously controlled his mental panic and confusion.

At this moment, he remembered the strange things he had faced before, and the courage that burst out from his heart when he faced great fear appeared in his memory. He had used such courage to train himself countless times, until now, that courage has been buried deeply.

in his memory.

The mental interference of [Snake Kiss Strain] blocked his memory, as if a vague "membrane" was covering his memory, and Parrett's reminder seemed to open on the "membrane"

Chen Yan followed a small hole to open the way to his soul, and the courage born from his heart filled his body again.

When Chen Yan came to his senses again, the black rock wall blocking the road had disappeared.

He looked at his teammates and saw Weber groping on the air in Chen Yan's eyes where the black rock wall was originally.

Paulkin Walker also stood where the black rock wall that originally blocked the road was, kicking into the air one after another. Judging from the vibration amplitude of his legs and feet, it seemed that he had really kicked something hard.

‘That’s it! The location of that wall has never been in the [real world], but within the [mind] or [spirit]!’

‘[Snake Kiss Strain] makes this wall appear in the [mind]. If you cannot break through this [mind barrier], you will not be able to move forward.'

'What blocks progress is never a physical obstacle, but one's own heart that stagnates due to lack of courage!'
