Chapter 490 [Chapter of the Hidden Abyss] Thirty-four: The end in sight

The darkness under the water was boundless. Chen Yan knew he had to do something. He tried desperately to open his eyes.

In the brief clear field of vision, Chen Yan could not see anyone - not the mining machine, not the person who was rushed out of the mining machine, not the captain with the prosthetic eye, not the person possessed by Brother Aliu.

Cyborg Quinn.

Only the giant thing in the darkness—the black shadow that occupies most of the area under the water—always exists at the end of the visible range.

At this moment, Chen Yan suddenly realized that he should already be in the [Giant Forbidden Zone].

The recurring undercurrent drove his body to rotate continuously, and his brain finally couldn't hold on in this erratic rotation and began to feel dizzy.

Chen Yan was in a daze and didn't know what was going on around him. He just subconsciously tried his best to maintain his consciousness and subconsciously tightened the pocket on his chest that held the spherical Tunguska.

He had no time to think about whether the spherical Tunguska could survive in the underwater environment for such a long time. His remaining brain power could only support one idea - if he could still escape, the spherical Tunguska who was familiar with underground circuits would be his last resort.

hope.

Amidst the turbulent undercurrent, Chen Yan finally lost consciousness completely.

…

It was hazy and hazy, as if I had experienced a dream for countless years.

Countless impressions are intertwined and endless layers of light and shadow appear.

With a "bang" sound coming from his head, Chen Yan suddenly opened his eyes.

Under the faint light from nowhere, I saw the spherical Tunguska throwing a small stone aside.

"you're awake!"

The little thing almost cried.

Chen Yan didn't reply. The water was so cold that he even had a layer of ice on his hair and eyebrows.

Various functions of the body gradually recovered as he woke up. The sound of the tide washing the gravel on the shore was heard immediately, and a ball of fire appeared in his field of vision. Chen Yan took a closer look and saw that the fire came from the exploding shuttle mining machine.

!

The shuttle mining machine was on the other side of the water bank dozens of meters away from him, and the entire mining machine was wrapped in a fire.

Chen Yan looked at the still intact storage cabin and suddenly realized something. His face suddenly changed. He rolled up and grabbed the spherical Tunguska. He gritted his teeth and restrained his numb legs, and rolled away tremblingly.

Run towards the shore.

He had just run less than twenty steps when a violent explosion suddenly came from behind——

"boom!"

Chen Yan subconsciously turned around and looked back, only to see that the storage compartment of the mining machine had exploded, and green fire shot into the sky, illuminating the entire area like a ghost.

The electric current caused by the explosion came into contact with the water, causing a momentary reaction, as if a green thunder appeared under the water, reflecting the numerous bones under the water - under the water, there were all the corpses of the strange snake tribe.

Chen Yan had seen the "underwater cemetery" scene before when he was in the cave waters. Now that he saw it again, he was not very scared. He just felt regretful because the Snake Kiss Rock that he worked so hard to dig exploded like this...

…

He held on to his body, which still had some numbness, and limped toward a place further away from the shore.

By the light of the fire, he saw the scene in front of him:

Within the shore, there is no longer a mine area made of black gravel, but a relatively broad "platform" made of complete black granite.

Above the black granite platform, close to the water area, you can see dense stalactites.

But further inside the platform, it was impossible to see what was above - even at the moment when the green fire broke out, Chen Yan could only see a dark void, but not the rock structure further up.

——This shows that the "dome" of this underground area is very high.

The surroundings were quiet, with no other sounds except the sound of wind and the jumping of flames.

Perhaps because it was not cold, and even had a hint of warmth in the breeze, Chen Yan relaxed some of his vigilance, took off his soaked miner's uniform, cleaned out the water inside, and then put it back on again.

.

The filter element of the gas mask was a new one that had just been replaced at the A-17 Fan Blade Central Inspection Station, but I didn’t know if it could be used after passing through the water. Chen Yan pulled out the filter element, shook it hard, and stuffed it back into the gas mask.

I hope this thing can come in handy later.

Fortunately, the quality of the miner's boots is surprisingly good. I don't know what process the rubber is made of, but after experiencing so much abuse, it is still intact. It is just that water has entered and it is a little damp.

The helmet was not damaged. What surprised Chen Yan was that the circuit connecting the top of the helmet to the searchlight was well sealed and no water entered. Therefore, after twisting the switch, the searchlight could still shine brightly!

The serpentine rock inside the searchlight was also just replaced at the A-17 fan blade central inspection station. According to the previous second-hand dealer, this thing can last at least 48 hours.

The bad news is that Chen Yan is already feeling hungry - after such intense torment, he is finally hungry.

Fortunately, I had picked up some compressed dry food at the checkpoint before. The compressed dry food was packaged in plastic. Even if the miners' uniforms were soaked, the dry food was not affected.

He took out the dry food, gave a bag to the spherical Tunguska, and settled it on the spot.

After surviving the desperate situation, both Chen Yan and Spherical Tunguska needed to take a break. The time to eat was just enough to relieve physical and mental fatigue and the psychological trauma caused by the thrill.

After completing all this, the feeling of fullness was clearly felt, and Chen Yan finally felt that his limbs were warming up again.

He looked at the spherical Tunguska who was looking around and asked: "Where are we now?"

Spherical Tunguska's tone was a little uncertain: "It stands to reason... we had an accident in the waters of the Gamma Sector, and this is obviously no longer a mining area..."

It paused here.

"There are two possibilities."

"The first possibility is that our current location is already at the edge of [City of Mountains]."

"The second possibility is that we have come to a ghost place that no one has ever been to. This is a new area underground in Yanan City besides the cave waters, the mining fans, and the city of overlapping mountains!"

Chen Yan asked:

"Is it [Giant Object Restricted Area]?"

Because of this name, the spherical Tunguska felt some kind of pain that Chen Yan didn't understand. He scratched his little head with his claws:

"Oh! Yes! Damn it! The [Giant Objects Forbidden Zone] is just outside the mining area! We may have been pulled into the [Giant Objects Forbidden Zone]!"

Chen Yan’s words are concise and concise:

"The giant snake we just saw in the water is obviously something within the [Giant Forbidden Zone]. Only such an existence is worthy of the name 'Giant'."

"If it is true as you said, the giant snake came from the City of Dieshang, then it seems that the City of Dieshang is a forbidden area for giants."

"We are now at the edge of [City of Mountains]."
