Throwing away the laptop in his hand, which was no longer useful, Lin Chi continued to inspect several other nearby laboratories, searching for possible props and other clues.

The other rooms in front of it were not much different from the first lab. Lin Chi couldn't find anything usable.

But when he pushed open the main entrance of the last round building, his vision suddenly blurred.

The turbid dark yellow gas floated in the air in front of him, although the protective suit mask isolated the air outside, but just looking at the color of the gas, Lin Chi could already imagine a pungent stench.

"What the hell?"

Before Lin Chi's words fell, a line of blood-red text suddenly appeared in front of him: "Ratman", hero-level NPC (not recruitable). Immediately after, from behind the stench, a huge figure suddenly appeared.

The humanoid monster with black hair on its upper body rushed out of the smoke suddenly, stretched out its rough big hand and waved it at Lin Chi's head, and the rat's head above his head made a sharp squeak.

Boom!

The nezumien's punch missed Lin Chi's head and slammed into the metal wall of the research institute, smashing the seemingly solid wall into a dent.

It didn't even have time to turn back, its head had been pierced by a light machine gun, and its body convulsed and fell, and a pool of dark red blood slowly flowed from under the head where a large hole had been made.

The attack speed of this monster is actually not slow, but for Lin Chi, who has just experienced the boss battle of "Bigford" and Marcus in a row, this speed is not worth mentioning at all, and it can be described as slow and pitiful......

"I'm sorry."

Lin Chi said and left the research institute with its own smoke special effects, and did not forget to turn around and close the door very intimately. After all, the smell in this room is a little too "strong", and if there is a problem with the mask of the protective suit, you may be directly fainted.

- Now it's time to move on.

Looking up at the darkness in the distance, Lin Chi walked forward, looking for the base hidden underground.

As he got closer and closer to the underside of Mount Olympus, the temperature in the vicinity began to rise, and fine beads of sweat began to ooze from Lin Chi's skin, who was wearing a protective suit.

He knew that he was approaching a magma field, and if he continued to advance, he might be in danger, and he might even die in the lava.

Could it be that the underground base is not directly below Mount Olympus, but somewhere else?

When Lin Chi was speculating, he noticed an inconspicuous point of light at the end of his vision, he turned off the tactical flashlight in his hand, and walked lightly to the position where the light was lit. The dark red light began to expand rapidly in the line of sight, becoming clear.

It was a small pool of magma embedded in a clearing, filled with a wriggling dark red liquid, and white smoke rose from above the pool and drifted into the dark underground cavern.

In this case, you should have arrived in the area of magma activity......

Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to go over to take a look, but saw that from the other side of the magma pool, several inconspicuous white lights lit up, like flashlights.

Seeing the appearance of the guy suspected of being an enemy, he also decisively crawled on the ground, took out the anti-materiel sniper rifle from his backpack and mounted it on the ground, and observed the situation near the magma pool with the help of the high-magnification scope on the sniper rifle.

Next to the pool illuminated by the lava, several bloated figures soon appeared, although they couldn't see clearly from this distance, Lin Chi could still recognize that those guys were wearing spacesuits that could completely isolate the external heat.

The spacesuits used by astronauts to work in the harsh environment of space are extremely bulky, but they are obviously much more protective than those worn by criminal tribes.

However, now that those people are wearing spacesuits, they must have moved much slower, in other words, they have become living targets in human form.

Under the gaze of Lin Chi, who was hidden in the dark, the three bulky "astronauts" stopped next to the magma pool, and one of them put down the metal box-shaped equipment he was carrying behind his back, as if he was about to take measurements.

- What the hell are they doing?

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi's curiosity began to stir again.

He knew very well that the other party might be carrying a low-light night vision device or thermal imager, but in the case of high-brightness magma around him, the night vision device should not work normally, and the sight of the thermal imager would also be disturbed by the high-temperature smoke coming from the magma, and he would not be able to see the enemy at this distance.

After making a judgment, Lin Chi picked up the sniper rifle and moved to the side with the help of the cover of darkness, trying to observe the movements of the three people.

Successfully sneaked to a position about 100 meters away from the three of them, and after finding the angle, Lin Chi set up the sniper rifle again, only to see that the astronaut carrying the metal box was pressing something on the box that was baked red by the high temperature, as if he was doing some kind of operation.

Even Lin Chi couldn't tell what the equipment in these people's hands was for, and it was better to "ask" them if he wanted to find out what was going on.

Faced with the current situation, Lin Chi also decisively determined the next action strategy, and began to continue to sneakily bypass from the side, preparing to go around behind the enemy and wait for the opportunity to move.

However, it would be very easy to infiltrate in normal times, but in this environment, it becomes extremely difficult.

"It's too hot in this place......" Lin Chi complained in a faint voice.

- According to his knowledge, the approximate temperature of the magma can actually be measured by the naked eye. Visually near-white magma is the hottest, greater than 1,150 degrees Celsius. And the dark red magma should be around 500 to 700 degrees.

However, for protective clothing that cannot be isolated from extreme temperatures, let alone 500 degrees, even if it is only 300 degrees, it has long exceeded the limit of human tolerance.

Even if he shoots these people now, it is impossible for him to successfully "pick up the corpses" in the past under the invisible wall created by the high temperature.

Although it is possible to ambush enemies far from the magma pool, there is no cover in this clearing, and if the enemy leaves wearing night vision devices or thermal imaging equipment, he will definitely be spotted immediately.

So, what exactly should I do now to get rid of those enemies before I get burned to char?

Lin Chi, who was sweating profusely from the high temperature that spread to the outside, had already begun to miss the god-level item "Cold Drink" in the "Monster Hunter" game, which allowed players to move freely in the volcano area.
