Chapter 8: Into the Underground

Walking out of the confinement room and looking at the familiar village, Chu Cheng only felt that the world was rejuvenated, and there was a feeling of being reincarnated!

Chu Cheng clenched his fists hard, although his body still looked thin, but after the transformation of his magic power, this body could already burst out with a strength that was not inferior to that of a beast.

"Those who want to harm me, I will definitely let you ...... Take its toll! Chu Cheng's eyes flashed with a knife-like light, that kind of look was something he had never had before!

After inquiring with the old people left behind in the village, Chu Cheng learned that all the young and strong people in the village, even all the children over the age of 15, had already entered the ground as early as the day after he was locked in the confinement room.

"Uncle Brian, you really deceived me!" The coldness in Chu Cheng's eyes became more and more intense. To this moment, he still couldn't believe that Brian would leave him in that small, dark corner to die.

It was useless to think too much, Chu Cheng's feet suddenly accelerated, and he hurried towards the center of the village. He knew that there was a facility that went straight underground, and it was the only way for the villagers to enter and exit the underground.

Ten minutes later, a low building appeared in Chu Cheng's field of vision. Along the way, Chu Cheng did not meet half of the members of the law enforcement team. Obviously, the whole village really poured out of the nest this time.

Walking quickly to the low building, Chu Cheng found that the door of the building had already been locked from the inside out. This door is usually locked, and the fear is that monsters or automata from the ground will crawl out of the ground and attack the village.

"I'm afraid that the key to the gate of the facility is only owned by the village chief." Chu Cheng wandered around the building for a long time and found that there was indeed no other entrance.

"Motone, can you open it?" A door stumped the hero, and in desperation, Chu Cheng had no choice but to ask for help from Moyin.

"This facility is a bit special, it's not within the scope of Security Framework Protocol 1, you can only brute force it if you want to open it, I need a magic touchpoint, you press your hand on the door first." The indifferent voice of the last sound sounded in Chu Cheng's heart, word by word, without dragging the mud and water.

Chu Cheng hurriedly did so, and suddenly wisps of silk-like magic threads passed through his palm and quickly sank into the metal door.

Seconds later, the door opened.

"That's it, it costs about 0.02 units of mana." Sue Yin spoke.

Chu Cheng nodded. Suetone's ability to manipulate magic is simply astounding.

As Chu Cheng's figure rushed into the facility like lightning, the door of the facility "slammed" shut again, and Chu Cheng's vision suddenly fell into darkness, as if he had been abandoned in the corner of the world again.

"Suene, is there a way for me to see things in the dark?" Chu Cheng communicated with the last sound through consciousness.

"Yes, but night vision requires mana, about 0.01 units of mana per hour, do you want to turn it on?" Sue asked.

Chu Cheng nodded when he heard this, and the darkness in front of him suddenly became clear in his eyes. If anyone sees Chu Cheng at this moment, they will find that Chu Cheng's eyes are like wolf eyes, which are faint and terrifying.

The law enforcement team in the village guarded this facility extremely strictly, and Chu Cheng had never entered this place in the past. What appeared in front of Chu Cheng's eyes at this moment was a large number of dumped metal cans, and on the ground in the center of these metal cans, there was a huge crack, about two meters wide and more than ten meters long.

Chu Cheng noticed that the metal on the edge of this crack was rolled outward. This means that the crack is not violently ripped open from the outside, but more like something is tearing it from the inside...... I want to get out of the ground!

Looking at the deep darkness in the depths of the crack, Chu Cheng subconsciously swallowed his saliva! Although he has learned a lot of combat skills from Brann since he was a child, Chu Cheng's actual combat experience is pitiful, and he has never really entered the underground.

In the past, Chu Cheng had learned some information about the underground from the mouths of adults in the village. According to those people, the underground of the ruins of the ancient era is a terrifying nightmare land! All sorts of terrifying automata, where a special ecosystem is formed. This ecosystem is full of malice and murder that humans can't imagine!

In the past, Chu Cheng had always been unimpressed by these people's words, after all, it was someone else's feelings, and it was difficult for him to empathize. However, at this moment, in the face of the huge wound-like crack in front of him, Chu Cheng deeply felt the faint malice that continued to emanate from the invisible place in the darkness.

"Moyin, I'm going underground to find a 'thing', this 'thing' is very important, it is related to the lives of my loved ones! Do you have a way to control the underground facilities, or help me retrieve the underground map? Chu Cheng secretly communicated with Moyin in his heart.

"No, if you want to control the facilities of the underground level, you need Security Framework Protocol 2, but at the moment Framework Agreements 2 to 8999 are invalid, and only Protocol 1 is still running, so I can't do anything about it." "Currently, your temporary security level is only Lv.1, which means that all the underground automata will actively attack you!" ”

Mo Yin's words made Chu Cheng's heart cold, but he quickly calmed down. Although I don't know what the security framework agreement in Sueyin's mouth is, it is clear that Sueyin can't give him much extra help at the moment, and if he wants to survive, he must rely on himself!

"Will I really come back from the ground alive?" Chu Cheng tortured himself in his heart. But soon, the hesitation in his eyes turned into a desperate determination.

With his mother's gentle smile in his heart, Chu Cheng didn't hesitate anymore and jumped into the depths of the crack.

A gust of fishy wind poured into his mouth and nose, and Chu Cheng fell heavily to the ground. With the help of night vision, Chu Cheng saw mottled blood stains everywhere on the four walls of the crack, which made Chu Cheng frown, only to feel as if he was walking through a huge wound.

At the end of the crack, there is a corridor. The corridor is about two meters high and three or four meters wide, and is made of metal. Chu Cheng jumped into the corridor, and the smell of blood in his mouth and nose suddenly became stronger.

With the help of night vision, Chu Cheng saw that on the ground in front of the road, there were two corpses lying horizontally, and it was obvious that they were from the village.

Both bodies were mutilated and smelled of fish. Chu Cheng held back his nausea and leaned over to the corpse to examine it carefully.

After experiencing the torment between life and death and Apophis's gaze, Chu Cheng's heart has gradually begun to transform. Although the bloody corpse in front of him made him feel disgusted subconsciously, it could not shake his behavior and reason in the slightest.

Soon, Chu Cheng found the cause of death of the corpse, which was densely covered with a large number of honeycomb-like wounds on the front chest, abdomen, and even face, giving people a feeling of being full of holes. Through the wound, Chu Cheng could even see a mess of internal organs inside the corpse!

"What is it that can make people like this?" Chu Cheng quickly glanced around, and soon found a string of fluorescent markers not far from the corpse.

"This is a common fluorescent potion used by the people in the village?" Chu Chengjian frowned slightly, he had heard the old man in the village say that the underground environment could not help but be dangerous, and the structure was intricate, and if he didn't pay attention to it, he would get lost. Therefore, after entering the underground, villagers usually make marks with fluorescent potions while hurrying to ensure that they do not get lost.

"I think that as long as I follow these marks, I have a high probability of joining the main army." Thinking of this, Chu Cheng quickly untied the dog-leg knife on the waist of a corpse, and prepared to continue on his way.

Who knew that at the moment when Chu Cheng turned around and was about to leave, the corpse behind him ...... Suddenly trembled slightly!!
