Rule Strange: Urban Legends That Don't Exist

Chapter 440 Past events in the center of the earth ([-]): Cause and effect return to the ruins

"The mining process of the Omega sector is more difficult than they imagined."

The entire Omega sector is traversed by a huge underground crack.

I don't know when the crack was formed. In the next half month, the exploration team of Spyro Industries found many unnamed animals in the crack, fluorescent moss that survived in the dark, and creatures that relied on the Snake Kiss Rock. Flowers released for photosynthesis as light sources, bugs made of moldy vines...

There is a completely different ecosystem underground from that on the ground.

It is worth mentioning that in this ecological system, the group of big snakes is a very important part - the exploration team found traces of giant snakes passing by here, these traces are almost everywhere, but they did not know the underground impact on other creatures in the world - the serpent is a member of the entire ecosystem, and it lives in symbiosis with the ecosystem.

The worry is that in order to mine, they have to cause some level of disruption to this ecosystem.

Destroying someone's home is a very irritating thing. James Parrett has seen the power of big snakes, and he is more cautious when dealing with this matter.

"They bought some expensive equipment... Well, they also hired some extraordinary butchers like the North Bureau, and let those people follow the mineral exploration team to carry out exploration operations."

"I was no longer in the mine at that time, I just heard about it, but I don't know who they are."

"Later... Later, they succeeded. The underground creatures were driven into the remote darkness like rats in the gutter, and they built a fortress-like transfer station for mining machines underground, because they discovered the Omega Sector The lower part is full of Snake Kiss Rock rich mines!"

When Chen Yan heard this, a word appeared in his head inexplicably:

colonial.

Hmm... It's not the same as colonization. The colonization process is accompanied by the transfer of population, and the actions of Spyro Industries are only war aggression and economic expansion, and have not allowed more humans to live underground.

"Later, the more they dug down, the more they felt something was wrong, why are there rich ore everywhere?
For hundreds of kilometers - I really don't have the slightest exaggeration - it is full of green and high-purity snake-kiss rocks - it is a high-purity snake-kiss rock pure ore that can be used as a power source for electrical appliances without even purification! "

"Even with the blessing of the god of luck, such a miracle cannot happen!"

"At that time, James Parrett also felt that something was wrong, so he paid someone from the surface to investigate."

"The results of the investigation shocked everyone—the entire Omega sector—about half the size of Yanan City. The reason why it is all high-purity Snake Kiss Rock is because it is actually the place where the big snake A group cemetery of creatures!"

Chen Yan couldn't hold back: "Hold the grass."

Spherical Tungus continued: "They guessed at the time that the hundreds of kilometers of high-purity Snake's Kiss Rock rich mining area was alienated by the dead bodies of the big snake tribe for many generations, and all of them became Snake's Kiss Rock."

"Out of a kind of awe of the unknown, James Parrett spent a lot of money-the last thing this bastard lacks is money-he bought new equipment, hired supernatural beings to guard, and paid attention to mining machines and The mine tunnel has been upgraded to strengthen the defense force, and an army has been created underground to resist the big snake!"

"But later... at least before I came out a few days ago, the big snake didn't appear once—not only the big snake didn't show up, but also the group of big snakes didn't show up, not even a small snake similar to the big snake appeared."

"Except for the corpses that have already decayed underground, the Orochi family... seems to not exist."

Chen Yan interrupted:
"You said before that that thing just looks like a big snake, but I don't know what it is."

Spherical Tunguska affirmed:

"Yes, just look alike."

It grinned, as if it didn't want to tell the next thing.

"Later... just before I was about to leave the underground, something happened in the Omega sector."

"The accident this time was not because of monsters like big snakes, but because of ghosts."

Chen Yan repeated the phrase in its mouth:
"Haunted."

It nodded slowly:
"Yes, haunted... There are always people who commit suicide inexplicably, using a pickaxe, or using a sharp stone, or swallowing the raw ore of the Snake Kiss Rock..."

"According to the miners, these people who committed suicide had talked to themselves before they were alive. They seemed to be talking to someone...they were very organized when they spoke, and they didn't look crazy at all."

"They also chatted with 'air' about some very common topics, such as what to eat tonight, when will the loan owed to the company be repaid... Shrimp people, crab people and pirate peons usually chat like this The topic, if you don’t talk to the air, you won’t feel that something is wrong at all.”

"At first, this matter was not taken seriously, because human life was not valuable at that time, and there were too many miners who came to work in the mine. A large number of mutants and a large number of smoked lake pirates poured into Spyro Industry, because here Having wages and food is much better than hunting in the water."

In a daze, Chen Yan felt that this scene was very similar to the scene where the farmers around Yanan City were attracted to the factory in Yanan City because of industrialization.

"Until one time, a driver drove a shuttle mining machine full of snake kiss rocks and rushed into the parking lot where the mining machine was parked."

"The explosion destroyed most of the underground stronghold, and finally attracted the attention of the top management of Spyro Industry."

"All mining operations in the Omega sector were stopped urgently, but the miners who were stranded in the Omega mining area at that time were prevented from returning to the office building—they were blocked underground because no one could afford them to suddenly run away after returning risks of."

"But you know, how can such a thing be stopped? Even at the moment the ban was issued, there were still a large number of shuttle mining machines traveling between the Omega sector and other sectors."

"Deep underground, within the Omega sector, those miners who may go crazy at any time must have spread to other mining areas."

"I was scared to death at the time, so I found an opportunity, secretly boarded a transport ship to the surface in the office building, and left there."

After a moment of silence, Chen Yan said:

"Now, the haunting incident is over, and the mining operations in the Omega sector have started again."

The undead Solal is one of the miners of the Omega sector.

Spherical Tunguska was a little surprised:
"Ah, is that so...the reason for the haunting should have been found out...or maybe not, those pirates are all lunatics, if there is an urgent need for Snake Kiss Rock, maybe they will really risk it There is a danger that someone will go mad and mine the Snake's Kiss...or maybe they have taken other steps."

Chen Yan asked thoughtfully:

"Where is the dam that the North Bureau built underground?"

Spherical Tunguska replied:

"According to the location, it's probably somewhere between the beta sector and the gamma sector... why are you asking this..."

Chen Yan put his right hand on his knee, and tapped his knee lightly with his index finger.

"The dam has prevented most of the water from entering the city of mountains in the waste abyss. In other words, the bottom of the city of mountains is probably very close to the Omega sector... Or maybe the city of mountains is located The bottom of the waste abyss is actually at the same depth as the "ecological crack" where the Omega sector is located.

Spherical Tungus thought for a while, and said in a hesitant voice:
"Probably... right... I haven't compared it before. Why do you compare this kind of thing?"

Chen Yan pointed to its scales and said:
"I remember that if the animals in Tungusko enter the aging period, the scales will partially soften and bleach, the appetite will not be as good as before, and even diarrhea will occur from time to time when eating."

The spherical Tunguska was silent.

Chen Yan continued:

"You have entered the next aging period."

Spherical Tunguska said nothing.

Chen Yan just continued according to his own thoughts:

"Have you ever thought, when you married that phonograph, why did it tell you that after getting married—after eating it, you can continue the group—the group of [Brain Ball Strain]?"

"Of course, that phonograph must not think that it is the [brain ball strain] defined by humans—it must have its own special identity. I think that will be one of the reasons why the strain is rampant in the city of overlapping peaks."

"After eating it, your lifespan was extended, but you didn't carry on the continuation of the race. How long has it been since the 'wedding' ended? Five years? Six years?"

Spherical Tunguska announced a number in a deep voice:
"Eight years."

Chen Yan nodded:

"Eight years, exactly the lifespan of a normal spherical Tunguska, but I think you should be able to live longer. I think... If you cut your chest open now, there may be no internal organs, but full of strains."

He looked at its panicked eyes, with a kind smile on his face:

"Don't panic, I was just joking with you."

His tone is full of sincerity:
"Have you ever thought that if you carry out the 'continuation of the population', the life span may be extended again?"

The spherical Tungus didn't speak, and the silence showed that it had obviously thought about this matter.

After a moment, it repeated the sentence at the beginning of this conversation in a firm tone:
"I will never go to that damn place again."

Chen Yan said:

"What if that place allows you to extend your lifespan again? What if you can find a way to 'continue the group' in that place? You have tried many times, whether it is with the same kind or with..."

it screams:

"Don't say that word!"

Chen Yan snapped his fingers:
"So, in fact, you also know that if you want to prolong your life, you must return to that place... Although the hope is slim, it is better than sitting on the ground and waiting to die."

It didn't know what Chen Yan was going to do, so it could only keep silent.

Chen Yan grinned:

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in such things as death."

His purpose is clear:
"I just want to make money."
