1102 "Underworld"
Lin Chi, who had wrapped himself tightly, walked onto the street with the skull face, moving towards the direction of the "underground world".
Due to the outbreak of the Great War last night, the city is under martial law, and the inspection of the sentries is also unusually strict. Dresses like Lin Chi and Skull Face immediately became eye-catching objects of suspicion.
"Stop!" Several sentries stood in the way in front of the two of them, and aimed their shotguns at them: "Stand there and don't move, we have to check." ”
"Don't move...... Skull Face whispered, "Don't be impulsive, there are too many sentinels." ”
"Of course I'm not impulsive, and I haven't done anything illegal." Lin Chiman said indifferently, standing in place without moving, waiting for the other party's inspection.
- Even if his form is extremely weird, he still belongs to the category of radiant people, and the sentinels should have nothing to do with themselves. Moreover, even if a battle does break out, the Sentinels will not be their opponents......
Thinking of this, Lin Chi also stopped on the side of the road very calmly, his crystalline eyeballs hidden under the brim of his hat, and watched the three sentries slowly walk forward.
"We're just passing through." Skull Face whispered.
What's this guy messing with?
Listening to the skull face's unusually pale lie, Lin Chi realized that something seemed to be wrong.
It stands to reason that the leader of the Wasteland Explorers should be the kind of fierce man who is well-informed and extremely adaptable. The impression left by the previous skull face on Lin Chi was also that kind of strong woman type.
But now her performance is ...... It's like drinking fake wine, and the voice is a little dizzy, as if he is still in a trance.
"This is a problem."
Lin Chi quietly prepared for battle, and was about to kill the three people directly, but saw the bodies of the three sentries, all frozen in place.
- What's the situation?
Looking at the "intoxicated" expressions on the faces of the sentinels covered with blue scales, Lin Chi was also a little confused for a while, the sentries who were eyeing each other a second ago seemed to have been drugged at this time, and the three pairs of eyes stared at Lin Chi deadly, as if they were about to burst out of red hearts.
"What the hell?" Lin Chi muttered.
"You can come over, you are welcome to come back next time!" The three sentinels got out of the way of the road ahead, and one of them actually knelt down directly with a plop, kowtowing to Lin Chi like crazy.
"This ......"
If this map was of the ancient type, Lin Chi probably began to wonder if he was exuding the "aura of a king". However, seeing the abnormal performance of these guys, Lin Chi also thought of a certain possibility:
He took out the Geiger counter from his backpack and measured the radiation value nearby, only to find that the counter in his hand could no longer even display numbers.
- The radiation levels in the vicinity were so high that even Geiger counters could not measure them, as for the source of the radiation......
"So I'm now a moving radiation source, am I?"
Putting down the Geiger counter, Lin Chi let out a long sigh, and a faint cold light flashed on his crystal clear white skin.
Obviously, the effect of the "super evolution" just now is outstanding, not only completely changing its own species, but also turning itself into a walking "nuclear reactor"!
At this time, Lin Chi carried an ultra-high radiation value everywhere he went, which directly affected the area around him.
If a "primitive man" dared to approach him, he would definitely bleed to death immediately. But for the radiant people in the Land of Light, the current Lin Chi is a "male god" with super high attraction, and wherever he goes, he will make the nearby passers-by lose their minds.
- Is this why Skull Face suddenly became stupid?
Finally knowing the reason for the abnormality, Lin Chi shook his head, stretched out his hand and dragged the skeletal face from the street quickly. The sentinels in each passing through were all unconscious, standing in disarray, feeling the ultimate pleasure of the radiation.
"Nuclear God, Nuclear God has taken care of me......" A sentry knelt on the ground and raised his hands at Lin Chi.
"Thank you!" A sentry shouted.
"I'm in love!" Two male sentinels in a trance suddenly start kissing.
Ignoring the chaotic scene on the street, Lin Chi left the chaotic street as fast as he could, and reached out at the intersection and knocked on the forehead of the skull face under the adoring eyes of passers-by.
"Hurt......" skull face muttered quietly.
"Lead the way, and don't forget our goal." Lin Chi looked down at the leader of the Wasteland Explorers.
"Oh, oh, I remember...... Okay...... Skull Face finally regained some of his senses and walked towards the entrance to the underground world.
The skeletal face that had been by Lin Chi's side all the time was undoubtedly the one who was most severely affected by the strong radiation. The favorability displayed by Lin Chi here has soared to 270 points, and there is an extra beating heart icon behind the value, needless to say, I understand what it means.
"Romeo, please come with me." Skull Face raised his right hand and pointed to the end of the street.
"I'm not Romeo." Lin Chi replied casually.
"But I'm Juliet!" Skull Face was in a trance again.
- This guy is completely hopeless.
Seeing that the skeletal face was about to fall into madness, Lin Chi simply knocked her unconscious with a neat punch, carried the hero-level NPC, and followed the guidance of the map to find the entrance to the "underground world".
The current skeletal face is not to mention fighting, I'm afraid that she doesn't even have the ability to protect herself, and it is a burden to let her continue to act, so it is better to directly turn her into a "prop" that can be moved.
With Lin Chi's current attribute value, carrying a skeletal face is also extremely easy. With the level 3 "Mutant Species" skill, his comprehensive ability at this time is even stronger than when he obtained God-given power in Sodom City!
Carrying the unconscious skeleton face on his shoulder, Lin Chi rushed out of a hundred meters in three seconds, and instantly arrived at the entrance of the underground world, standing in front of the giant cave with a diameter of twenty meters, looking down at the scene below.
What catches your eye is a brilliant blue, like an endless ocean. In the wide cave, a large number of blue crystals refracted the sunlight, leaving a large afterimage in Lin Chi's sight.
The super vision provided by the crystalline eyeball allowed Lin Chi to observe things through the direct bright light, and looking at the "crystal mine" below, he did not hesitate to walk down the slope and enter the empty underground world.
According to Skull Face, the underground cavern in the Land of Light was blown out by a hydrogen bomb, and the shining crystals at the entrance of the cave may also have something to do with the nuclear explosion.
Maybe these things were created by the explosion of the hydrogen bomb?
The floor under Lin Chi's feet was as smooth as a mirror, and it was also clear blue, he stood in front of a spar, reached out and easily broke off a crystal, and weighed it in his hand.
These crystals feel like glass, and they don't seem to carry radiation - if the crystals at the entrance of the cave had their own radiation, they would have been knocked down and taken away by the greedy radiators, and they would not have been so well preserved.
- This is the so-called underworld.
Lin Chi raised his head and focused his gaze on the "ocean" in front of him, and all the places in his line of sight were blue, and he couldn't see the edge at all.
The area of this underground cavern is so large that there is no place to explore. So now, it's almost time to show your true strength.
"Sit tight ......"
Lin Chi, who was carrying a skull face, muttered to himself, the legs of the crystalline material suddenly exerted force, and his body turned into a blurred afterimage in an instant, sliding forward like a poisonous snake!
With 190 points of strength, agility and stamina, his body is like a turbocharged engine, running faster than anyone in the Land of Light, and in the blink of an eye, he has rushed two kilometers and is speeding through the underground caverns covered with "glass".
Then, the world before him darkened.
In the depths of the cave where direct sunlight cannot shine, you can still see the light refracted by the crystals at the entrance of the cave, and it is not that you can't see your fingers.
The brilliant blue before had turned into a deep blue at this time, and Lin Chi felt as if he had entered the water from the sea, and the air around him began to become cold, directly falling below zero.
His evolved body is extremely sensitive to temperature, air, and humidity, but it is just a simple sensation and is not immune to frostbite. With Lin Chi's current body, even if he takes a bath in liquid nitrogen at minus 190 degrees, he can probably continue to talk and laugh.
However, whether the skeletal face can hold it is another matter.
Feeling that the body on his shoulders began to tremble slightly, Lin Chi temporarily stopped, took off his clothes and put them on the skeleton face roughly, and put her next to a square crystal.
Carrying her on, unnecessary trouble may arise. Realizing that there should be danger ahead, Lin Chi also decisively left this "oil bottle" here, preparing to march to the depths of the cave alone.
- Has her face changed, though?
Looking at the unusually pale face above the mask, Lin Chi reached out and took off the mask of the skull face, only to see that half of the face, which had already withered and rotted, was covered with a layer of translucent crystals at this time, as if wearing a glass mask, with a strange beauty.
"Has she evolved......"
Noticing the changes that had occurred on the skeleton's face, a smile appeared on Lin Chi's crystallized face.
The skeletal face, which had been staying next to the powerful radiation source, seemed to have begun to mutate as well. Although I don't know what she will become, what happened to her is definitely "evolution" rather than degradation.
- For radiators, radiation is their source of life. From this point of view, the skull face seems to have absorbed a lot of "life essence" from its own side.
"Seems to be something evil? Forget it......"
Lin Chi laughed, stood in place and listened to the nearby sounds, waited for a while, and found no signs of the existence of other lifeforms nearby, then left the position of the skeleton face and advanced towards the depths of the underground hollow.
It is said that many explorers have entered the cavern, but few have made it back alive, and the few survivors have been secretive about what is going on inside.
Is that an absurd urban legend, or a real event? I'll probably find out soon.
Thinking of this, Lin Chi slowed down, using the dim light to inspect the nearby crystals, looking for possible clues in this dark blue hole.
Rather than a hollow blown up by a hydrogen bomb, this place is more like a giant underground crystal mine. Everywhere I went, there were blue translucent crystals, and no signs of life could be found.
If any explorers do arrive here, they will leave some traces. Even if their bodies have long since decayed, some of the clothes on their bodies and the tools they carry for exploration will remain.
Oddly enough, there is nothing here.
"Isn't it too clean?" Lin Chi narrowed his eyes.
The ground beneath his feet was still as smooth as a mirror, as if it had been rubbed by someone, and there was not even any dust to be seen in the underground cavities, which was really a bit abnormal.
Could it be that the so-called "explorers" are nothing more than rumors? But if no one has ever died here, why is it a complete no-man's land?
In Lin Chi's opinion, it would be a pity to put such a magnificent underground cavity like this, and it could be developed into a tourist attraction. The nobles of the Land of Light should think the same way. But......
"Huh?"
Noticing that the shape of a crystal on his right hand was a little strange, Lin Chi walked forward quickly and looked down at the dark blue crystal.
If you just look at the lower half, this long crystal is no different from other nearby crystals, but the few crystals that stick out of the upper half still attract Lin Chi's attention:
- Is this a human finger?
Staring at the slender "crystal" sticking out of the crystal, Lin Chi reached out and stroked the crystal shaped like a finger, the touch was as cold and hard as ever, and he couldn't feel any temperature at all.
Is it just a coincidence?
He looked down at the long crystal that his finger was sticking out, crouched down in front of it, and pressed his face against it to take a closer look at the inside of the crystal.
Then...... Lin Chi saw a face.
To be exact, it's just a remnant of an outline, like a few lines drawn inside the crystal, and it's easy to miss it if you don't look closely. But with the enhanced eyesight after the mutation, Lin Chi still clearly noticed that the outline of the human face was indeed hidden in the crystal.
It was supposed to be a bald man with an O-shaped mouth and a contorted face with a frightened expression. Lin Chi stared at the lines of his face, slowly moved his gaze down, and saw the undetectable outline of his body.
"What is this, amber?" Lin Chi smiled.
It seems that there should be a man who was sealed in this crystal, his body has almost been completely assimilated by the crystal, and before losing his life, he used his last strength to reach out his right hand, leaving the last proof of his existence.
If that's the case, is it ......
Lin Chi turned his head sharply and looked around, observing the large number of crystals nearby.
If you don't look closely, you may not be able to see that inside those crystals, there are also hidden outlines of human bodies.
This is not a priceless crystal mine at all, but a killing field that has "sealed" countless people!
