Chapter 107 Underground Operations (6,000-Word Chapter)
[Private letter with me as the protagonist]
[I am the protagonist: Brother Chen, I have been haunted by ghosts for two consecutive days, do you have any herbal medicine for treatment?
I am the main character: I remember that it was a disease, and I became conscious in the morning, but my body just couldn’t move.
Chen Zhen: Have you been feeling anxious and having difficulty falling asleep recently? Take it easy, you can borrow anything you need.
Chen Zhen: If you have modern medicines, you can take some low-dose serotonin or inhibitors. I don’t think it doesn’t matter if you don’t have them. Let’s adjust our mentality first.
I am the protagonist: Oh, let me try it. I feel that I didn't feel anxious before the ghost press, but I have it these two days.
Chen Zhen: How's your appetite recently, how about I give you some medicine to recuperate?
I'm the protagonist: No, no, thank you Brother Chen.
Chen Zhen: I'll open it to you, but don't trade with me this time.
I'm the protagonist: Brother Chen, you really don't need it, you've already helped me a lot, so I'm going to help. 】
I saw Wang Yu's private message early in the morning. This kid actually sent the message at three o'clock in the morning. The quality of sleep seems to be really poor.
"Xiao Luo, what's the situation in the field today?" Chen Chen walked to the kitchen and started cooking.
"Master, good morning! The fog in the field is very thick today, the visibility is only one meter, and the average temperature is about one degree. It is not recommended to go out."
Chen Chen nodded, "It doesn't matter today, there are quite a lot of things to do, so I just happen to be working in the shelter."
The heavy fog means that there are almost no new items on the platform, and the demand for medicine to treat the fog has greatly increased.
"Now there are more than 2,000 people. I don't know if these golden sore medicines are enough."
Up to now, Chen Chen still hasn't researched any herbal medicine that is more suitable for fog, and what he supplies to the players is still golden sore medicine.
During breakfast time, Chen Chen routinely checked the shelter to ripen the bees.
So far, the number of Chinese bees has reached 120,000, the number of Dali bees has reached 105,000, and the number of golden ring bees has not changed much because there is no further ripening, a total of 65,000.
Chinese bees can provide honey to the rest of the bees, and Dali bees are fully committed to producing Dali honey. More than 100,000 bees can produce almost three catties of Dali honey a day. Chen Chen ate one catty by himself, and the remaining two catties could be exchanged for more than ten square stones.
"The water pipes don't seem to be enough, and we need to buy a generator. Let's use some Dali honey to exchange these things. I don't know about others, but those who sell water by the lake must have extra water pipes in their hands."
After eating, Chen Chen took his tools to dig the well. The well was located at the back, behind the passage of the room where the yellow fruit stones were placed.
Before that, Chen Chen deliberately placed the yellow fruit core on the edge, and even hung a door number on the room, just to prevent himself from accidentally walking in.
"Let's move this thing after the well is built."
Although the fruit core is placed in the innermost part of the room, it will be fine to stand close to the door, but this kind of weird thing is still a bit scary.
Chen Chen used the expansion module to open up a new passage according to Xiao Luo's instructions, and finally turned at the fork, opened a complete room downwards with the shelter expansion module, then marked the wellhead at the center, and drew a circle with a diameter of one meter. It is the size of the wellhead.
The area of the wellhead is one square meter. Use any expansion module to open up to 20 meters downwards, and Chen Chen has to dig the rest with his own soil or his hands.
He built a fence above the well with soil power, fixed a steel frame above it, installed a winch and tied a paracord, and Chen Chen started to go down the well.
When going down the well, he continued to use the power of the earth to strengthen the wall of the well. After reaching the bottom of the well, he continued to use the power of the earth to soften the rock layer. The softened stones were stored in the item space, and he climbed up a few meters to the shelter area, and then directly traded the stones To Wang Yu.
After Chen Chen returned to the upper floor, he went to the old equipment room and moved the stones back directly.
I have to say that it is really cool to have unlimited trading in the shelter.
Chen Chen expanded all the way down, until he finally touched the soil after 30 meters. Counting the reinforcement of the well wall, the power of the earth has been consumed forty square meters, leaving only 12 square meters.
Chen Chen frowned, "Maybe we won't be able to dig well water today, the rock layer on the mountain is actually fifty meters thick, and the groundwater doesn't know how deep it is."
The remaining twelve square meters are probably only enough for him to reinforce 50 meters of soil. If the water has not been dug out by then, he will have to wait until tomorrow.
He himself has no experience in digging wells, and he dare not go down without strengthening the soil layer, in case of a landslide, it will be bad.
Then Chen Chen kept digging down with a shovel, and when he was ninety-five meters away from the wellhead, the umbrella rope suddenly fell down.
"What's the situation?" Chen Chen raised his head, the light on the miner's hat only extended four or five meters, and there was a black hole above, and he couldn't see anything.
This place is too deep, Xiao Luo's signal can't reach here at all, and Chen Chen's location is exposed to abnormal radiation, for a moment he felt like falling into the void.
He bowed his head and groped for a while before he found the end of the paracord, which was covered with signs of wear and tear.
"I remember checking it myself? The paracord should be fine." Chen Chen rubbed his head.
After the third eruption of monstrous radiation, the time he can go out in a day has become six hours, and now there are more than four hours of outdoor time.
Seeing that the soil was only half hit, Chen Chen thought for a while and decided to continue digging, filling this side.
After digging, use the force of earth to strengthen the well wall, and then Chen Chen supported the well wall with both hands and feet, and began to climb up.
The strength of 7.5 is still very strong, and it is not difficult to get up.
But not long after climbing, Chen Chen felt something was wrong.
I don't know if it's water seepage or what's going on, but the well wall above is a little wet and slippery.
Chen Chen gritted his teeth, increased his strength and continued upward.
"It's not right! Absolutely not right!"
Chen Chen panted and looked up and down, it was pitch black.
"Even if the lower part is relatively humid, it's too abnormal for so much water to seep out!"
Chen Chen began to panic. He felt that the well wall was getting slippery, and he had to use a lot of strength to hold it steady.
But at this moment, he hadn't walked back to the expanded place of the shelter, the radiation was still there, and Xiao Luo couldn't be contacted. When he came down, he only brought digging tools and a wooden box with food in order to load the soil conveniently.
"First trade a bright flashlight with Wang Yu, and then... damn it!"
At this moment, the miner's cap on his head suddenly ran out of power, and Chen Chen slipped his hand and fell straight down.
In the dark, in a hurry, Chen Chen directly put his arms on the well wall, his body tensed, and his legs stepped hard against the well wall.
I don't know if he slid down more than ten meters or twenty meters, Chen Chen finally stabilized his body, but his arms were in burning pain.
In the shelter, he had to do dirty work again. Naturally, Chen Chen wouldn't wear too thick clothes, and the cloth should have been worn out just now.
"Go down first, the arm is a little uncomfortable after holding on for so long, go down and exchange something with Wang Yu, eat some food, and then climb up with the power of the earth."
There is only one side left with the power of the earth, so it should be no problem to just dig out the handle and climb up.
Then Chen Chen controlled the strength in his hands and began to slide slowly, but he reached the bottom of the well in a few tens of seconds.
snap~
After falling, Chen Chen felt that his feet were directly stepping on shallow water, soaking the soles of his shoes, and a cold feeling permeated from the soles of his feet.
"This is a ghost movie! No way, no way, there can't really be ghosts in this world!"
Chen Chen instantly thought of the talisman paper that Tang Shan half-sold and half gave to himself back then, "Tang Shan said that thing was useful at the time, combined now, wouldn't it mean that there are really ghosts in this world?"
It was very cold under his feet, Chen Chen didn't dare to hesitate, and immediately sent a message to Wang Yu.
【Private message with Wang Yu】
[Chen Zhen: Do you have a strong flashlight or something? If you have any, trade them to me and lend them to me. 】
Chen Chen waited for more than ten seconds, but Wang Yu didn't reply. This is a normal speed in the past, but now Chen Chen feels like his days are like years.
Chen Chen immediately contacted Tang Shan and asked him about supernatural things.
[Chen Zhen: Do you have anything to deal with ghosts? I seem to have come across something like this. Trade me some items that can be restrained, and I will definitely thank you afterwards. 】
Tens of seconds later, Tang Shan and Wang Yu sent messages one after another.
[Bangshuitang: Brother Chen, what's the situation? I'll trade some talisman papers for you first. The talisman paper was an accident, and I didn't come up with something to deal with ghosts later. 】
[I'm the protagonist: Brother Chen's outdoor flashlight, I'll send it to you, I don't know if it's enough.
Chen Zhen: Check the battery, make sure there is electricity.
I'm the protagonist: Don't worry, Brother Chen, it's fully charged. 】
Chen Chen was also a little scared, so he reminded Wang Yu.
Then Chen Chen didn't talk nonsense, and directly made a video call to Tang Shan to receive the things they traded.
Turn on the flashlight upwards to avoid the sudden strong light from irritating the eyes. A young man wrapped in a windbreaker appeared on the system screen.
"Brother Chen, are you..." The young man on the other side hesitated, "At the bottom of the well?"
Someone said that most of the fear in Chen Chen's heart was washed away at once, and he replied: "Yes, I was trapped here when digging the well, and then the well wall began to seep for no reason... So I came to you, Tang Banxian Help!"
Chen Chen shone the flashlight around, when he discovered something that frightened him even more.
Before he let Xiao Luo blow down the air duct, I don't know when it broke! Fall in the bottom of the well!
Ventilation must be ensured when working underground, because the mass of carbon dioxide will be deposited at the bottom of the well, and people without ventilation will suffocate and die if they stay at the bottom of the well for a long time!
When Chen Chen was at the bottom of the well, Xiao Luo would control the pipe to supply air to the bottom. When Chen Chen went up to trade soil, he would turn on the suction mode to remove the carbon dioxide remaining at the bottom of the well.
Tang Shan, who was on the opposite side, was a little embarrassed to hear Chen Chen say that, so he spoke faster: "Don't worry, this talisman paper is absolutely useful, you stick a few on yourself, and then stick some on the wall of the well, and then climb up try."
"In ancient times, it was said that people have three fires. You must first strengthen your courage, so that ghosts may not dare to approach. It should be no problem with the help of talismans." Tang Shan explained: "You must have a high physique. Blood is equivalent to several strong men, as long as you are not afraid, it will be very difficult for ghosts to deal with you."
Hearing what Tang Shan said, Chen Chen also remembered that it seemed to be okay when he first climbed the well wall, and he didn't feel anything wrong when he climbed up, but the more he climbed, the more he felt guilty, and the more he climbed the well wall, the more slippery he was. The cap was out of power, and it slipped down by itself.
But theory belongs to theory, tension belongs to tension.
After listening to Tang Shan's words, Chen Chen's brain automatically began to fill in various plots: Tang Shan's words are correct, but the talisman paper may not be of much use, the other party just said this to embolden himself; the other party is not at all Tangshan! In fact, I have fallen into an illusion now! I am breathing the carbon dioxide I exhaled, dying slowly!
...
These thoughts are completely out of control and keep popping up. The key is that Chen Chen's intelligence is as high as 4.3, and his thinking speed is extremely fast. He has already come up with more than a dozen terrifying results in a short period of time.
Regardless of the thoughts in his head, Chen Chen directly poured out the soil, took back the pipes that fell on the ground, and then sandwiched the leather talismans in his clothes, and fixed the other pieces on the well wall directly with the force of the earth.
Then he used his hands and feet again to climb up.
Climbing Chen Chen again this time feels not so difficult, and he said to Tang Shan with joy in his heart: "It seems to be really useful, and it's easier to climb up."
It seemed that Tang Shan's theory of three fires had really come true, and Chen Chen also regained some courage, and began to work harder to climb up.
After climbing for an unknown amount of time, Chen Chen suddenly felt his hand slip. With his other hand, he quickly used the strength of the earth to dig out a hole, and his whole body was directly hung on the wall of the well.
"What's going on?" Chen Chen was a little confused.
He considers himself not a cowardly person, and he didn't have much trouble getting up after finding hope just now, but why did he slip suddenly?
Tang Shan on the other side of the video quickly explained: "It may be that the effect of the talisman paper has disappeared, and I will trade a few more for you."
"Oh," Chen Chen replied: "Then it really seems to be something like a ghost. If there is a solution, it will go up in a while."
Tang Shan took out a stack of talismans again and traded them to Chen Chen, but his expression was a little unnatural.
After Chen Chen continued to climb up, Tang Shan secretly glanced at the watch on the wall. Since just now, Chen Chen has been climbing for more than ten minutes, but he still hasn't climbed up.
Tang Shan didn't dare to say it, for fear of affecting Chen Chen's mentality, but right now he has nothing to do.
"Why don't you go to Major Xu An? He may have connections and a better way...Maybe he can save Chen Zhen's life."
Tang Shan began to send private messages to Xu An, explaining what happened to Chen Chen in detail.
...
Chen Chen kept climbing up like this. He didn't feel that he had been climbing for a long time, but his hands were a little sore.
Sudden!
It seemed that a snake fell on his face, Chen Chen was almost scared out of his wits!
As soon as the hand slips, the person will fall down!
Fortunately, Chen Chen had high dynamic vision, the light of the shaking flashlight shone all around, and he could see clearly what fell on him at once.
It turned out to be a rope as thick as a thumb.
With sharp eyes and quick hands, Chen Chen grabbed the rope at once, sank a little further, and then stabilized.
Chen Chen was overjoyed, grabbed the rope and began to climb up.
The wall of the well must have been affected by something, it was more slippery than oiled, and it was very difficult to climb up. There was no such problem when climbing the rope, and Chen Chen's ascent speed became extremely fast.
After a while, he saw the light above, and his body finally entered the range of the shelter.
Xiao Luo's intermittent voice came from the rubber speaker, "Master... master... is up above... hear...?"
Chen Chen speeded up and climbed up in two or three strokes.
One hand stretched out from the mouth of the well, and clasped it firmly on the edge of the well.
Afterwards, half of Chen Chen emerged from the mouth of the well!
"Huh!! It's finally here."
Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief. He saw Yuan Zai biting on the other end of the rope, and Xiao Luo's voice finally came from the rubber speaker.
"Master, can you hear me? Woohoo, Xiao Luo seems to have heard your voice."
"It's okay, it's okay..." Chen Chen walked out of the well and comforted him, "I'm out, I'm okay!"
"Wow~ woo woo..." Xiao Luo burst into tears, "Xiao Luo thought she would never see her master again!"
Chen Chen had just narrowly escaped death, and when he saw the scene in front of him, his heart was filled with emotion.
Before I knew it, I was no longer alone.
"It's okay, it's okay, I won't come up~"
Chen Chen picked up Yuan Zai and kept comforting the two brats.
One of them is buzzing, the other is humming~
Chen Chen smiled at Tang Shan, "Thank you Brother Tang, I will deal with the matter here first, and I will thank Brother Tang later."
"It's fine, it's fine, it's fine~ I'll go down first. By the way, Brother Chen, Major Xu An may come looking for you later, I just asked him for help."
After Tang Shan finished speaking, he turned off the video call, but Chen Chen could still see the deep reluctance on his expression. This guy has never left Yuanzi since he came up!
Chen Chen comforted the two brats for a long time, lifted Yuanzi up to the sky more than a dozen times, then walked to the front of Xiaoluo's main machine and coaxed Xiaoluo face to face, and the two little guys gradually calmed down.
"That's what happened when I was down there just now, and you're up there, is there anything unusual about the shelter?"
Chen Chen finished his experience in the well as a story, and then asked Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo crossed her arms, stared wide-eyed, fascinated and frightened, and replied: "Half an hour ago, Xiao Luo suddenly couldn't contact the owner. No matter how Xiao Luo shouted, it was useless. to check the situation.
Yuanzi is so stupid! It took Xiao Luo a long time to understand what it meant. Xiao Luo asked Yuanzai to find a rope, and then tied the shorter ropes together, trying to pull the owner up.
Yuanzi couldn't learn how to do it, and at this time Xiao Luo also detected the pressure change of the ventilation duct, Xiao Luo became even more anxious.
3D modeled a Yuanzi, and then played the animation of Yuanzi knotting the rope, taught it, and then rescued the owner! "
After speaking, Xiao Luo raised his head, as if you were going to praise me.
Chen Chen cheered with a smile, "Yeah! Xiao Luo is amazing! It's the most powerful artificial intelligence I've ever seen!"
Earth is artificially retarded.
"Hahahaha~" Xiao Luo put her hips on her hips and smirked, Yuan Zai in her arms didn't hear her name, and started rubbing her head.
Chen Chen had no choice but to put Yuanzai on the table and slapped him several times and boasted, and it was over.
...
About ten minutes later, Chen Chen received a video request from Xu Anan.
Connect directly.
A man in his thirties with slightly dark skin and firm browbones appeared in the picture.
Almost everyone in the area knows that Xu An has a mechanical body, but the man in the picture looks like an ordinary person.
"Hello, Chen Zhen." Xu An looked very relaxed, and said to Chen Chen with a smile, "Congratulations on your escape, just now your friend asked me for help. After you came up, I asked about your condition and came late on purpose. Looking for you."
The other party's smile was very contagious, and Chen Chen was also in a good mood at this time, and replied with a smile: "Thank you Brother Xu for your concern, the incident happened suddenly, but luckily there was no danger."
"Hmm!" The other party nodded and said, "This should be a new disaster in the abnormal world. Before you, other players have more or less encountered supernatural phenomena, but it is rare for you to be so obvious and powerful."
"I don't have enough information now, and I don't know the details, but one thing is certain." Xu An looked a little more serious, "Now it's just a weird phenomenon, basically there are no concrete ghosts, and it will definitely be scary in the future !"
Chen Chen nodded to express his understanding, "Then is there any way to restrain these ghosts? Tangshan can make talismans, but the restraint effect does not seem to be obvious, and my power of earth and wood is useless."
Xu An replied: "That's because you don't have your offensive attribute skills, and the ghost didn't show up, so naturally you can't deal with it. Offensive attribute skills are very difficult to understand, and only four or five people in our area have them. "
"As for Tangshan's talisman, it can be mass-produced, but it can only be used for defense, and it can only slightly block ghosts and monsters, and it cannot cause damage, so it is not very useful."
Speaking of which, Xu An smiled and said to Chen Chen: "Do you have the flesh and blood of a second-level aberration beast? If you have any, take it out and train your friend, otherwise I will give it to you, and that will be a robbery from you." "
"Huh? What do you mean?" Chen Chen was a little confused.
Xu An smiled and said, "Actually, I came to you this time mainly to talk to you about regional cooperation, and the cultivation of Tangshan has something to do with it."
"We have also discussed a lot of cooperation proposals, and fully exchanged various opinions, but there is still a lack of people who will finally screen and formulate the rules." Xu An looked at Chen Chen, "After 20 days of getting along, the players must be very satisfied with the players in their area. The strongest are more convinced, so I would like to invite ten player representatives including you to hold a meeting to communicate with each other and finalize the matter."
"What do you think?"
Naturally, Chen Chen had nothing wrong with him, and he also wanted to know more information. Wouldn't it be natural to oppose others if he refused at this time.
Chen Chen agreed: "No problem, when is the meeting?"
Xu An said: "Tomorrow night is tentatively scheduled, and I will inform the specific time later."
Finally Xu An said: "You did a great job! The friendly atmosphere in your area can be ranked in the top three. I thank you for those who are alive."
Speaking of this, Xu An's expression turned cold, "As for those who have a little strength and are worthless, I believe they will pay the price!"
Xu An looked at Chen Chen, "The ghost matter has not been resolved, you can ask [Three Thousand Buddhas], I have already passed my Qi, and he should be able to help you."
"Okay, I won't bother you anymore. Ghosts shouldn't leave the shelter, so you still have to be careful. Goodbye!"
Chen Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Thank you, see you next time."
Turning off the video, Chen Chen leaned on the chair and murmured, "Why does it feel like the rain is coming?"
Because 3,000 words is a bit stuck, I wrote it and sent it together.
In the last chapter, the power of earth element is 53, and the force of wood element is 988. It has been corrected, thank you for correcting.
