Chapter 494 [Chapter Hidden in the Abyss] Thirty-eight: The City of Death

There was a constant warm and moist breeze blowing from the hollow darkness. Chen Yan could feel the flow of wind on his exposed skin. It felt extremely comfortable, but his reason told him that the wind might contain [Brain Ball Strain].

So you must not take off the gas mask...

Chen Yan has already figured out that at this point in time, what he is facing is likely to be a "resurrected" city of mountains - what exists in the darkness in front of him is likely to be a powerful and weird bacterial civilization!

He looked at the darkness in front of him that was not considered "pitch black", felt the warm and moist breeze blowing on his face, and subconsciously thought:

The strains that grow in this environment should not like light, so even if there is light in the City of Peaks, the light will not be too strong...

If he is really facing a city that has been "resurrected", then the searchlight above his head will definitely arouse the disgust of the strain people, and even attack them out of biological instinct.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan silently adjusted the intensity of the searchlight above his head to keep it at a level where he could barely see the road about five meters ahead.

At the same time, he thought to himself that based on the information he had obtained now, he could have a rough definition of the direction of the [Exit] later discovered by Spyro Industries in the City of Peaks:

The "Exit" discovered by Spyro Industries employees in the City of Mountains was probably the "Crack" that caused the mutation in the laboratory.

If the [Exit] is not the [Crack] that experienced the change that year, then it must be a kind of [Crack] that leads to a deeper world——

“The [Exit] in the city of hills”, and the “crack leading to the [brass pipe space]” that once existed in the attic of the apartment at 33 Walker Street, and the “chimney leading to the wilderness” on the roof of the apartment at 33 Walker Street

”, are the same kind of existence.

This apartment is really a fucking ghost. Why are there such things everywhere? Why did the third uncle of Dog Day sell this apartment to me? I was also fucking obsessed for a moment...

Chen Yan cursed inwardly, released his emotions, and then regained his senses.

He temporarily called the [Exit] discovered by Spyro Industries employees in the City of Mountains the [Exit Crack], which he thought was more appropriate.

He thought for a while, and then whispered: "Parit, apart from the [Exit Crack] you just mentioned, is there any other place to leave the City of Peaks? I'm talking about returning to the surface."

Bald Parrett didn't know about the failed [Crack] experiment at the University of Michigan Research Institute, so he felt that Chen Yan's name for [Exit] was strange, but he still replied:

"The expedition team composed of company employees who entered the City of Mountains did not find such a road, but I think such a road exists."

Saying this is the same as not saying it.

Chen Yan is not as optimistic as him.

Because, according to his reasoning, if the City of Peaks has really been pulled into the [Wilderness], then according to Chen Yan's knowledge about the [Wilderness], once entering the wilderness, there are only two people who can leave.

Method:

One is to return the same way.

The second is to use the "strong thoughts" generated in the heart to guide where you want to go.

The first method is completely impossible. If you kill him, you won't want to enter the waters full of ghosts in the Gamma Sector again.

The second method is more metaphysical. When he was almost desperate in the wilderness, according to the fingerprints of Psalm 13, "the strongest thoughts came into his mind", and then he went to the mine tunnel in the Alpha sector - "what happened in his heart"

"The strong thoughts will mark the way forward." This seems to be one of the rules in the "Wilderness" discovered by the ascetics of the choir.

Chen Yan tried to have a strong thought of "I want to go back to the apartment" in her heart, but it didn't work.

He cursed in his mind and thought, this rule obviously has other restrictions.

That being the case, then, so far, the only "passage" that can lead to the surface in the City of Peaks area is the spherical elevator that Tunguska and Alice once took.

The bottom of the elevator is somewhere in the City of Mountains, and the top is somewhere inside Miskatonic University.

As long as you can find the elevator, you can leave the city of mountains!

Chen Yan thought for a moment and said to the spherical Tunguska who was lowering his head at his feet:

"Before we went underground today, I promised you that I would go to the City of Mountains to find a way to help you survive. Now that we are here, I need to remember some of the paths we traveled back then."

Unfortunately, Chen Yan couldn't observe any reaction from the little thing. It was just silent, as if thinking about something.

So he continued:

"If you don't want to face that kind of terror again, let's go find the elevator back to the surface - the elevator you met when you met Cyborg Quinn."

After a moment of silence, Spherical Tunguska whispered:

"No matter what... I must go to the place where the gramophone existed."

Chen Yan said:

"completely fine."

Since we have to cross the city of mountains no matter what, it is not unacceptable to take a longer detour.

"We're ready to go..."

As soon as Chen Yan finished speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang in his pocket.

He opened the zipper in surprise and took out his mobile phone, only to see Paulkin Walker's name displayed on the screen.

Is there actually a signal underground?!

wrong……

Chen Yan looked at the "X" displayed in the signal column in the upper right corner of the phone and thought that a mobile phone in the form of an external limb might not need a signal tower at all, but operate through bio-waves.

He swiped the screen and answered the phone.

"Chen Yan! You're ashore too!"

Paulkin Walker's voice was very low, and the fear in his words was not strong, but more of surprise.

Chen Yan replied:

"Where are you now? Did you see anyone else?"

Paulkin Walker's voice was lowered again, almost inaudible, and Chen Yan had to put the phone against his face to hear the faint sound coming from the microphone.

"Listen, I'm a little confused about what's going on around me..."

Paulkin Walker's voice came intermittently from the microphone:

"I, Jack, Webb, and some miners from that mining team went ashore together. After we landed, we met some... strange people.

They didn't understand the Imperial dialect, but they showed a lot of interest in us for no reason... Mainly, they were interested in Jack. Damn it, their eyes looked like they were seeing the most arrogant Mr. Rabbit in the lower city.

We were escorted by them into a... damn, I don't know what the fuck it is, it seemed to be some kind of vehicle, a vehicle that could shuttle through the air.

Weber said the strain was all over the place and we might have been infected, and Weber was getting very weak...poor old man, he might be dying."

At this point, Paulkin Walker changed the subject, with barely restrained joy in his tone, and said something that made Chen Yan feel cold:

"And...I saw my Dalia! She is no longer that monster! She is with me now!"
