After the death of Captain Prosthetic Eye, the gunfire did not stop.

Captain Prosthetic Eye's miner teammates stood up one after another, and the expedition team had to raise their guns and unleash a round of firepower on their heads.

The flames ejected from the muzzle of the gun due to the incomplete combustion of the gunpowder caused the entire corridor space to flicker. The sound of densely exploded gunshots reached the ears through the helmet, like a series of huge dull firecrackers...

After the gunfire, darkness enveloped again.

Under the light of the searchlight, the people who had just stood up fell down again.

This time their whole heads were beaten to pieces and they could no longer stand up.

But this did not delay the dark green [Snake Snout Strain] from continuing to spread along their broken flesh.

Chen Yan saw that on the face of the prosthetic captain who was closest to the expedition team, the [Snake-kissed Strain] was devouring his flesh and blood, so his body surface turned into something like "moss" at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After entering the underground, Chen Yan had seen such "moss" several times.

Without the head of the prosthetic eye captain, there is no nerve center for controlling the body, and the [Snake Kiss Strain] obviously controls the whole body through the nerve center, so the prosthetic eye captain who has been soaked in the water just twitches all over.

There is no way for a bigger reaction to occur.

His teammates are in the same state.

Paulkin Walker cursed with a hint of panic in his voice:

"Looking at it this way, the entire water here is full of this damn strain! As long as our protective gear is broken, we will be infected immediately!"

This sentence brought the emotions of the other members of the expedition team to freezing point. Only Chen Yan, who remained vigilant, did not fall into such pessimism.

'If, as Bald Parrett said, [Snake Kiss Strain] can catalyze negative emotions, thereby affecting people's spirits and deepening their control over people, then I must not let such emotions continue to spread.'

Chen Yan immediately spoke:

"Looking at it from another perspective, our miners' uniforms and protective equipment such as gas masks have a very good isolation effect and are not damaged. There are no problems with the miners' boots. The air tightness of the rubber connecting them to the pants is quite good - as long as we

If you are not in direct contact with [Snake Snout Strain], the chance of infection is 0!"

Paulkin Walker's eyes suddenly brightened:

"Yes! The quality of these protective gears is very good! When we bought these protective gears, the boss helped check the air tightness on site and assured us in name that there would be no problems!"

His spirit seems to have become somewhat abnormal due to the tremendous pressure...

He explained: "The two of us went to a fixed stall to buy these protective gears. The stall fee at the fixed stall was ridiculously high. If the boss cheated and ruined the reputation of the second-hand market, he would be kicked out by the managers of the second-hand market.

Yes! So these things must be of good quality!”

Paulkin Walker seemed a little incoherent. Chen Yan patted him on the shoulder, and he realized his emotional fluctuations.

"Although [Snake-Bout Strain] has not directly infected us, it is still affecting our spirits through some method."

Chen Yan looked at his teammates:

"There is no problem with these protective gears for the time being. We have not been infected by the bacterial strain yet, which is the best proof!"

"Now we need to hurry up and find a way out of here!"

Find a way out of this hellish place before something goes wrong with your protective gear!

Chen Yan estimated in his mind that [Snake Kiss Strain] is not everywhere, at least it is definitely not in the air, because this strain needs a host to survive, and the 'infectious bacterial organisms' that require a host are basically difficult to pass through.

The air carries infection activity.

Chen Yan thought to himself that the [Snake-kissed Strain] was probably dormant in the water in a semi-dormant state. After the prosthetic eye captain's gas mask was smashed, the [Snake-kissed Strain] smelled the smell of blood and left the semi-dormant state.

In the dormant state, it quickly climbs up the skin along the holes in the damaged area, invades the flesh and blood, and causes rapid infection...

"Hey...Chen Yan, look over there!"

At the prompt of the spherical Tunguska, Chen Yan looked in the direction indicated by it, and saw that there was another hexagonal mine tunnel opposite the huge snake-shaped skeleton.

"Solar and his team must have gone deeper along the mine tunnel!"

Chen Yan realized at this moment that Paulkin Walker and Weber had no way to go back and leave the mine tunnel. They could only pass through the huge snake-shaped skeleton covering almost half of the space and enter the hexagon on the other side.

In the mine tunnel, look for Solar and his shuttle machine.

Bald Parrett's voice also entered Chen Yan's mind at this time:

'The only way to survive now is to survive from a desperate situation!'

The expedition team continues to move forward.

They consumed less than half of the bullets here, but the remaining bullets were still enough to last two short battles. The hot weapons in their hands became their only source of security at this moment.

As Chen Yan continued to move forward, he truly understood what this place looked like——

This is not a "tunnel", but a "cavity" that originally existed underground. The corpse of a huge strange snake is entangled here, as if this place itself is the "grave" of this big snake.

In addition to Chen Yan, the other three people also saw the nature of the "tomb" here, so they became more vigilant.

The body of the big snake is too huge, and there are a large number of dark green "Snake Snout Plants" clinging to its snake bones. When walking among them, you can only feel that there are huge "vines" above your head.

When passing a certain lower "vine", Chen Yan inadvertently caught a glimpse of a prominent position above the "vine".

Under the light of the overhead searchlight, the protruding position was actually a bone spur, protruding from the dark green strain on the "vine", which looked very eye-catching.

The bone spur is only as long as the palm of your hand, with a rounded root and a sharp edge. It looks like...

a knife.

Chen Yan suddenly seemed to think of something.

a knife?!

At this point in his impression, the image of the bone spur in front of him gradually overlaps with the image of the sacrificial knife given to him by his zoo colleague Alice in his memory...

this……

Although the shapes are not exactly the same, Chen Yan is certain that these bone spurs are the raw materials used to make ritual knives!

Suddenly, some thoughts burst into Chen Yan's mind:

1 When Alice gave him this knife, she said that she brought it from [The City of Peaks].

2. In the Omega Sector about 3,000 meters underground, a sacrificial knife unique to the "City of Mountains" appeared, and this bone sacrificial knife was made of the bones of a large snake.

In other words, the sacrificial knives used by the aborigines in [City of Peaks] were obtained by hunting big snakes!

[Brain ball strain] is a strain unique to [City of Peaks] and has strong hallucinogenic ability.

The [Snake Snout Strain] of the big snake group also only exists underground, and it also has hallucinogenic abilities.

Could it be...

Is [Snake Kiss Strain] some variant of [Brainball Strain]?
