Chapter 488 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Thirty-Two: Strange Stories from Deep Water

Solar slapped Cyborg Quinn hard on the shoulder, and the latter gritted his teeth and pushed away the joystick——

With the huge inertia generated by the instantaneous increase in engine power, the entire shuttle mining machine crashed into the rock wall in the direction of the water seepage!

"boom!"

The shuttle mining machine suddenly hit the rock wall and produced a dull and deep shock, which caused pain and discomfort to the people in the cabin. The huge inertia once again caused everyone in the cabin to flip over.

A shrill, shrieking sound came from the radio equipment on the outer wall of the cabin, and the sound was thrown a distance in a matter of seconds.

“Hash hash!”

The manic screams gradually fade away as the speed of the mining machine increases.

After the miners in the cabin adapted to the strong inertia caused by the sudden acceleration, they adjusted their postures and immediately looked at the display.

The scene displayed on the screen is both joyful and worrying——

Fortunately, the uncomfortable face of Captain Prosthetic Eyes has disappeared on the screen, and everyone no longer needs to worry about being turned into a strain person.

What's worrying is that they have now completely entered the water.

It can be clearly seen on the display that under the illumination of the searchlight on the top of the mining machine, the outside of the mining machine has been covered by a vast expanse of dark water.

The water is clear with almost no impurities. It is very similar to the water in the cave, but cleaner. There seem to be black shadows swimming in the depths of the water illuminated by the searchlight. When Chen Yan concentrated on seeing clearly, the water was deep.

The shadow disappeared again.

The waters are not peaceful. In fact, the miners inside the cabin can easily feel the undercurrent surging outside the cabin——

Different from the rock mine, the shuttle mining machine is not stable when moving in the water. Often an undercurrent hits, and the entire mining machine seems to be overturned. The miners in the cabin have to hold each other's arms.

Only by lying with your arms on the deck can you avoid possible casualties due to shaking.

Are the waters in the Omega Mining Area so large...

As soon as this thought came to Chen Yan's mind, he heard Solar's calm voice coming from the cockpit:

"Don't panic, everyone! The aquatic mode has been activated. We are just entering the water-filled fan blades of the gamma sector. We expect to land in 10 minutes!"

The words that could barely be called good news cheered people up to a certain extent, but the miners did not show joy because of it. They had witnessed the strange things happening underground many times. They knew that when they returned to the center of the Omega Sector, they would

Before, it was always dangerous.

Bursts of inaudible low sounds came from the radio equipment on the outer wall of the cabin. The sounds came from unknown sources, like the murmur of some kind of sea creature, or like the "beep beep" sound of bubbles bursting.

Chen Yan always felt that there was a voice calling him somewhere, and that voice asked him to open the cabin door not far from him.

Chen Yan could clearly feel the sound (not hear it). Because the feeling was too clear, he was not disturbed by the sound, but the same could not be said for others. He turned his head and looked around. There were obviously many miners.

They all showed more or less abnormal expressions.

Weird emotions are spreading among the miners, and an inexplicable atmosphere is brewing in the cabin. Everyone seems to be abnormal at the next moment. This feeling is really terrible.

After three depressing minutes, Cyborg Quinn, who was sitting in the main driver's seat, stood up in full view of everyone and asked:

"Do you want to go ashore and be a human being, or go into the water and be a ghost?"

His voice was clear, obviously not as hoarse as before, as if he was a different person.

His expression was dull, and even though he had an iron head, an unshaven beard and a haggard face, his previous wretched temperament was completely gone.

Chen Yan has heard this question before - when he first entered the underground, in the cave waters, Weber once told him the story about "Brother Aliu" in the Smokey Lake. Chen Yan remembered what he said at that time:

"If you answer 'go to the island and become a human being', you will be thrown into the water and drowned by Brother Aliu, turning into a water ghost carrying a boat forward."

"If you answer 'Go into the water and become a ghost', Brother Aliu will say: 'You are all miserable people who only have one life. After entering the Smokey Lake, you are no longer human beings. I will let you become the lonely ghosts.

Let's go.' After Brother Aliu said this, he would jump into the water and disappear."

"The people on the boat will drift with the water until they reach a random island, where they can settle down."]

This legend happened on Smokey Lake.

And they are not in the Smokey Lake now, but in the waters more than two thousand meters deep underground.

Then, the consequences of choosing an answer will definitely be different!

Weber in front turned his head and glanced at Chen Yan. Chen Yan saw that his face was full of "horror" - at this moment, Chen Yan could be sure that Weber must also understand that what happened in front of him had already happened.

The legends diverge, and the consequences of the answers become completely unknown.

Some of the miners present also came from Smokey Lake, and they also knew the legend of "Brother Aliu" to some extent. At this time, when they saw the strange ghost-like existence in the legend suddenly appeared in front of them, they had only a little bit of support left in their chests.

The courage to continue moving forward immediately disappeared.

Solar, who was closest to Cyborg Quinn, looked at him solemnly, wanting to slap him on the shoulder to wake him up. As soon as he raised his hand, under his gaze, his arm fell.

Then it drooped down out of thin air, as if paralyzed.

Cyborg Quinn, who was possessed by Brother Alliu, turned his head and glanced at the dark water on the display screen, then turned his head and repeated again in a sped up tone:

"Do you want to go ashore and be a human being, or go into the water and be a ghost?"

Chen Yan thought quickly in his mind, making guesses based on the previous legendary stories and their current situation...

If you answer "Go ashore and become a human being", you will most likely have the cabin door opened by Alyugu, causing the dark water to invade the cabin, and you will be drowned in the water.

If you answer "go into the water to do ghosts", the shuttle mining machine may shut down immediately, and there will be a problem and cannot be started, resulting in it drifting with the water... Whether it will eventually reach the shore or sink to the bottom depends entirely on luck.

But what if... what if you choose neither answer?

Chen Yan looked at the distance between Brother Alyu and himself, subconsciously recalled that Paul Jin Walker once taught him the enemy strategy in "narrow and densely populated areas", and quickly estimated that the empowered bullet of the Egret 1 would start from

Which direction should I shoot without damaging the center console...

No one among the miners dared to answer Alliuge's question. The atmosphere quickly became depressing in the silence, and fear reached its peak in the miners' trembling.

Cyborg Quinn, who was possessed by Alliuge, asked again:

"You guys want to go ashore..."

Halfway through the question, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the top of the shuttle mining machine.

The next moment, a loud sound of steel clashing was heard. A sharp steel thorn pierced the ceiling of the shuttle mining machine. The huge water pressure shot a water arrow into the cabin, piercing a person beside Chen Yan on the spot.

Miner's body.

At the same time, a nightmarish sound came from where the ceiling was penetrated.

“Hash hash!”
