Chapter 784 Exploring the Ore Mine
However, Su Chen didn't think much of it and led Zhang San and the others into the depths of the cave.
Wang Zhan kept his word.
After Su Chen and the others went inside, he led the rest of the Brotherhood and followed behind them.
This raw stone mine is similar to the two that Su Chen visited before.
The passage is winding and twisting, with stones of varying sizes growing on the stone walls on both sides.
"Strange, something's not right."
Zhang San muttered to himself.
"Is something wrong, Zhang San?"
"My companion asked curiously."
"Look at these mine shafts, it feels like they've already been mined."
Zhang San pointed inside the mine and asked疑惑地问道,
"Didn't the president say that this raw stone mine was only recently discovered?"
"Who knows? Maybe other people have been here before!"
His companions smiled dismissively.
Su Chen, who already knew the truth, simply observed the situation around him.
There were no signs of a fight here.
It seems that, just as Qu Fanbin's friend said, the danger in the mine comes from deeper inside.
The elite advance team followed Su Chen, venturing deeper and deeper into the mine.
as predicted.
At the end of the mine, a dark passage appeared.
Su Chen threw a burning stick into the cave entrance and discovered that the passage was at about a 45-degree angle, leading diagonally into the depths of the underground.
"You guys, go down and check the situation first."
Su Chen gave instructions to Zhang San and the others.
After becoming D-rank evolvers, Zhang San and his friends were bursting with confidence.
Without much thought, they grabbed their flashlights and went inside, following Su Chen's orders.
A short while later, Zhang San's voice came from inside the cave.
"Captain Su, there's nothing unusual down there, you can come down now!"
Su Chen nodded to the others and then went into the cave.
After walking about ten meters, the view suddenly opened up before me.
A giant underground cave appeared before Su Chen and the others.
Above the cave, stalactites of various shapes and sizes grow.
There are also a large number of raw stones mixed in with the stalactites.
Under the flashlight beam, these stalactites cast eerie shadows, making them look somewhat frightening!
"what……"
Just then, someone suddenly cried out in surprise.
"Corpse!"
Upon closer inspection, everyone saw several corpses lying not far away.
Su Chen quickly stepped forward and began to examine the area.
The bodies were highly decomposed, with some parts even reduced to bones!
It seems these are the extraordinary individuals Qu Fanbin's friend was referring to—those who went down into the cave without permission and ended up being killed.
After a thorough examination, Su Chen found something strange.
The appearance of these corpses was indeed extremely tragic, as if they had been brutally murdered.
But their bodies were all intact, with no damage whatsoever.
Logically speaking, if it were a monster attack, it should have eaten their corpses.
"Captain Su, what do we do now?"
Zhang San swallowed hard and asked cautiously.
It's not that he's timid.
But in this environment, they suddenly encountered several corpses.
Even if he is a D-rank superhuman, he can't help but feel nervous!
"You two, go and report to the chairman."
"The rest of you, stay here with me and wait."
Su Chen thought for a moment and then gave the instructions.
In this situation, waiting for Wang Zhan would be the sensible decision.
If you act on your own initiative, it's inevitable that someone will notice something.
Su Chen and his group waited quietly in place.
A short while later, Wang Zhan and the others arrived.
"These are the brothers that the organization sent to survey the raw stone mine. I never expected that they would sacrifice themselves here."
Wang Zhan sighed, looking regretful.
"Zhou Meng, collect their bodies and give them a proper burial back home."
"Su Chen, you continue to lead the elite advance team to explore further."
"We can't let these brothers sacrifice themselves in vain!"
Su Chen sneered inwardly.
On the surface, however, he nodded without showing any emotion.
"Yes, President!"
"This entrance will serve as a temporary camp for now. If you encounter anything unusual, remember to report it via radio immediately."
Wang Zhan gave instructions to Su Chen.
The rest of the fraternity immediately sprang into action.
Su Chen then led Zhang San and his group further inside.
After walking for another ten minutes or so, they suddenly noticed several small stone platforms not far ahead.
These stone platforms, like the stalactites hanging down, are all naturally formed.
The center of the stone platform is sunken, forming a depression similar to a puddle.
But there was nothing in these pits.
Looking at the empty stone platform, Su Chen's heart stirred!
Could it be that the pit originally contained Immortal Essence Liquid?!
It was taken by Wang Zhan and his group, so nothing was left!
The more Su Chen thought about it, the more likely it seemed!
To verify his hypothesis, he would need to find other stone platforms.
Thinking of this, Su Chen instructed Zhang San and the others to quicken their pace.
As Su Chen ventured deeper into the stalactite cave, a strange feeling suddenly arose within him!
It was as if some terrifying and evil creature was secretly watching them!
He looked around, but found nothing.
Even radar scans revealed nothing unusual!
If we follow the movie formula, Su Chen, as the protagonist, would definitely not take it to heart and would just consider it his own illusion!
But this is a post-apocalyptic world!
Su Chen still trusted his intuition.
After all, it was his intuition that alerted him when Bai Qianqing attempted to assassinate him.
Su Chen appeared outwardly normal, but secretly he had increased his vigilance.
Just then, several small stone platforms appeared in front of them.
"Zhang San, take a few men and go check to see if there's anything on the stone platform."
Upon hearing Su Chen's instructions, Zhang San didn't think much of it and led two people toward the stone platform.
Once they got close, Zhang San glanced at them, then turned his head and said,
"Captain Su, there's a lot of white liquid in the pit on the stone platform. I don't know what it is."
Before Su Chen could answer, an elite soldier curiously approached the stone platform and reached out to touch the white liquid in the pit.
Su Chen's expression changed slightly, but before he could stop him, a sudden change occurred!
"Rumble..."
The ground next to the stone platform suddenly trembled.
Immediately following, a huge black shadow shot out!
The elite soldier didn't even have time to react before he was grabbed by the shadowy figure.
He was at least a D-level fighter, but in the hands of the shadowy figure, he was practically a toy.
With a slight exertion of force, the elite soldier screamed and was instantly crushed to death!
It was only then that Su Chen and the others realized what was happening.
When all the flashlights were shone on the shadowy figure, everyone could finally see what it looked like.
Its head looks a bit like a rat's, and its back is covered with thick scales.
Its overall appearance is almost identical to that of a pangolin.
The difference is that it is much larger and can stand upright.
