Tomb Raider: Villain System, Start with Umbrella Corporation

The depth of the ghost cave is not as deep as imagined, and the deepest point is less than 2000 meters.

But even if it is only 2000 meters, it can bring tremendous pressure to people.

In the abyss, the ink-blue stone walls are covered with natural burrowing dragon scales, whose outlines are clearly visible. The huge dragon scales are stacked layer by layer like a sea of ​​clouds, presenting the momentum of a coiled dragon, which is daunting.

The mute raised his hand through the mask and clenched his fist to signal everyone to continue descending.

After descending for more than 10 minutes, the darkness around us became so quiet that it made people uneasy. The light that was originally bright enough was reduced layer by layer. It could illuminate most of the cave entrance before, but now it could only illuminate an arm's length away from the body. The darkness seemed to be alive, absorbing all the energy, light and sound around it.

The entire descent went incredibly smoothly. When my feet stepped on the hard bottom of the cave, nothing unexpected happened. Everything indicated that this was just a naturally formed tiankeng, and the snake god was just the ancients' imagination of the unknown.

"What's going on? We are too late. Has the snake god already moved?"

"How can a snake god like you move out overnight when you owe money?"

Zhang Musi was puzzled. If this was truly a natural landscape without any problems, then why did the system issue the task?

The thief scanned the entire area. The bottom of the cave was as big as 100 football fields, but except for the protruding rock walls and undulating rock bodies, it was as clean as someone's backyard.

"There's a big problem at the bottom of this cave~" The blind man smiled, leaning against the stone wall like a boneless person, the dagger in his hand kept turning, this action showed that he was on full alert.

"What should be at the bottom of the cave is not there, and what shouldn't be there is there."

The mute was examining the stone wall carefully. When he heard this, he turned around and saw the blind man's feet resting on a human skull fossil. He frowned instantly.

This is just a human skull fossil, what's so strange about that? There may not be gold and silver treasures, but the Demonic Kingdom and Jingjue privates definitely threw away a lot.

The blind man shook his finger meaningfully. "Have you ever seen a fossil of a modern human?"

“Never seen it.” Zhang Musi quickly shook his head. Thank you. He had only started to learn about rice dumplings in recent years.

"Do you know why?"

"why?"

"Because... modern people are buried in coffins~ hehehehe"

Zhang Qiling glanced at him and asked, "Are you interested?"

"Ahem... it's because the probability of modern humans existing for a long time and in large numbers is not enough to form fossils."

“Then this is…”

Zhang Qiling also stared at the stone thoughtfully.

"This is very simple. Either the timing is wrong or the ground is wrong."

Tick-tick, the sound of water hitting the ground was heard. The mute crushed a blood sac, and 300 milliliters of blood merged into the ground. After only two seconds, it was completely swallowed up by the ground.

"Sophie's elastic body..."

I found myself singing it and smiled awkwardly.

"Haha, what I mean is, the ground isn't going to move this way or that way, is it?"

Before he finished speaking, a sharp cry was heard from the bio-human team.

A tall, muscular, and cold-looking "Tyrant" ran towards them, waving his flowery hands and screaming.

"Ah! There's a ghost!"

"Fuck! What the hell are you!" Zhang Musi was shocked by the visual impact of the King Kong Barbie in front of him! He knew that cyborgs had consciousness... but this...

Is it an Easter egg left by the creator, or a special hobby?

The sturdy man [Tyrant] didn't even look at the weakling Zhang Musi, and hid directly beside the mute, patting his chest in horror.

"I was so scared. A dark shadow suddenly appeared over there. I almost peed myself!"

Excuse me, let me talk about the important things first...

There was no time to think about the problem of the cyborg. Following the direction of his finger, the so-called black shadow had spread into a thick black cloud, sticking closely to the ground and blending into it. If it weren't for the blind man's special eyes and the Tyrant's panic since he got down from the cave, it would have been impossible to detect it.

"what is this?"

The mute stared at it for a long time, with an uncertain look on his face. "Wiggen? Go!"

Seeing the black fog spreading rapidly, the cableway was affected and there was no escape, and suddenly the sound of a helicopter was heard overhead.

How could the helicopter suddenly descend without a signal? But it was just in time, and several people quickly jumped on the plane.

The black fog has covered all the areas within sight. If it is any later, they don’t know what will happen.

There was a fat man sitting on the plane, looking around, while Lao Hu and Shirley Yang were greeting everyone.

Shirley Yang's father has disappeared for three years, and she is in a particularly anxious mood. She dares not go deep into the cave by her own means. But seeing that these mysterious people can even get armed helicopters and have the power to move mountains and seas, she does not want to miss this opportunity.

"How did you get up here? We were just about to go down and take a look." After the excitement, the fat man was sweating profusely and thought of the treasure at the bottom of the cave.

Zhang Musi saw through the fat man's plan at a glance, and pointed at the window with a smile, "Now look again."

Several people were lying on the window. In just a short while, the black fog had spread to the entire bottom of the cave, but the water vapor was firmly rooted in the ground like lichen and moss, with no signs of floating up.

"What is this? There's hair on the ground!" The fat man was shocked. It was quite normal when he first came down.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Old Hu reached out and patted the fat man. His childhood friend was always outspoken.

"This, is this a magnetic cloud?" Shirley Yang was shocked, then shook her head. "Impossible, the location where the magnetic cloud appears underground must be at least 5000 meters below the altitude base plane, and here it's less than 2000 meters, there's no reason."

"Do you know this black fog?" Lao Hu asked.

Shirley Yang saw that everyone was looking at her, so she spoke out without reservation.

"I don't know much, but this phenomenon often occurs near 30° north latitude. It is said that the mysterious disappearance of planes and ships all occurred before the black fog. There is no conclusion yet, but the scientific community believes that this is caused by the rise of magnetic clouds deep underground."

Zhang Musi looked at Zhang Qiling. Since the mute had mentioned the root of fog, the Zhang family must have a simple and rough solution.

"After death, people decay and turn into dust, but their ghosts linger and hide in the nine-layer abyss. There are nine springs underground, and under the nine springs, there is the Yaochi. The top of the Yaochi is the Yinshan Mountain. Behind the Yinshan Mountain are countless lingering evil ghosts. The First Emperor dug through three springs and placed his coffin. King You of Chu dreamed of an evil ghost and found a treasured corpse under the abyss. He placed it under the Beiyin Mountain, which is called the Ghost Locking Beiyin Mountain. The source of this fog is the Yinshan Mountain."

Zhang Qiling spoke slowly, sometimes even stopping to think. He had never seen such a thing before, but it was recorded in the information collected by the Zhang family. He never expected that it actually existed.

"This fog is the boundary between life and death."

Several people's faces turned pale, especially the three tomb raiders. They thought that the various dangers they had seen before were already serious, but they did not expect that there would be such terrifying existences. Could it be that the legends were all true?

"Don't be anxious, take another look." Hei Xia Zi stared at the black fog for a long time without saying anything, and now he seemed to be sure that he had discovered something.

"I'm looking at the black fog, it doesn't seem to be coming towards us, maybe it has a grudge against this land~"

Several minutes had passed as they were talking, but the "fog roots" still had no effect on them and they were concentrating on burrowing into the soil.

"Look at the ground!" The fat man widened his eyes and looked at the ground in horror.

"It's really Sophie..." Zhang Musi felt that he seemed to have some talent for bad words.

The ground covered by black fog twisted like steam, and at first everyone thought it was just a visual difference due to the light.

Until the blind man raised his gun and the beam of light pierced straight through the fog.

The wriggling became more and more violent, and the hard rock turned into a bottomless swamp before everyone's eyes.

"No wonder it's so clean down there, not even a single corpse or bone left. It turns out it was all swallowed up."

The ground that had turned into a swamp did not stop but continued to roll. The black mud on the surface was dissolved, revealing a bloody ochre-red substance deep inside.

Countless pale bones and remains of limbs were wrapped in it. The long-term isolation even retained the tragic bloodiness of the blood sacrifice. The scene was like a raging sea of ​​blood in hell. Countless souls struggling to escape were drowned in the blood waves, which was chilling.

The sea of ​​blood gradually piled up on all sides, and the middle collapsed to form a cave-like shape. When the searchlight was shone, a sarcophagus-like box was seen placed in the center.

The piled-up swamp seemed to form a huge basin-shaped bottom with the sarcophagus as the center.

"The ground is blocked and the sky is connected." Old Hu frowned, "It is impossible to place a coffin in this terrain."

"Where is that pervert?" Zhang Musi suddenly thought of the forgotten [Tyrant]. Turning his head, he saw that the guy was sitting there obediently, pretending to be a normal cyborg.

"Go down and take a look at the sarcophagus."

[Tyrant] was so scared that he wanted to cry, but he put on the rappelling belt reluctantly.

"I've seen it, it's made of stone!"

Zhang Musi held his forehead and yelled at the pervert, "Why don't you open it and take a look!"

"Oh" [Tyrant] shrank his hands and feet, as scared as a fat turtle, and opened the crown carefully.

Phew~ I'm so scared~

“It’s a passage~”

"I'll go down," the blind man suddenly spoke up, his tone more serious than ever. This man has never been one to face challenges head-on, it seems he has made some discoveries.

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, he just stood up and started counting his equipment.

"Go, go, go, now you're here..." Zhang Musi didn't think of hiding. The blind man firmly believed that there was something wrong with him and he must have his own judgment. Maybe there would be a chance to change here.

"Don't go down, it's dangerous." Zhang Musi would never do such a thing as using the protagonist as a shield.

"I want to go." Shirley Yang was the first to speak, followed by the fat man who also wanted to go down and take a look. Old Hu pretended that he really couldn't do anything to you, but he put on his equipment faster than anyone else.

The thief returned, and the information he brought back was confusing due to the influence of the geomagnetic field. The only clear message was that the passage was ten thousand meters deep underground. Zhang Musi looked discouraged.

It’s too deep. Even if you have strong digging skills, it will take a year to dig, and then the daylily will be cold!

Assist Zhang Muchi to come online and start commanding in an orderly manner.

After the lifting ropeway was installed, the mourners used concrete and steel bars to surround the sarcophagus tightly, and the walls were as high as two stories.

Half of the top space was even used to build a temporary helipad, where the attack helicopters were parked and on standby.

"Why are you looking at me? What if that stuff flows back? Then we'll be buried underground!"

Faced with those indescribable faces, Zhang Musi couldn't understand why anyone would dare to go in directly.

"Well, maybe it's because there's always a glimmer of hope?" Lao Hu said uncertainly. This is what he usually does.

"One line is not enough, I want to fight ten!"

Moving forward along the cableway, the bullied [Tyrant] was leading the way in front, with beam cannons hanging all over his body. The dazzling red light never stopped as he moved forward. He would change one when it got hot.

The creatures in the depths screamed whenever they could not see their figures, and every time they turned a corner, they could see their bodies melted on the walls like rock paintings.

The group of people were happily playing the game of "You Draw, I Guess".

The unhappiest person was the blind man. He couldn't stand the strong light and could only be dragged behind the blind man like a dead dog.
