Chapter 493 Exploring the Snake Mine Again

"But there are still some risks if we continue like this. It is better to take more insurance measures, such as adding a rope as protection."

However, Wu Laogou is not without requirements. He believes in Chen Ziyan's ability, but the protection he deserves is still indispensable.

So I added this sentence without waiting for anyone else to respond.

He said this to Chen Ziyan, but he successfully got the support of Li Wu.

Li Wu nodded hurriedly: "Yes, it will be more secure with an extra layer of protection."

When Chen Ziyan saw these two singing harmoniously, he made the decision for himself, and said with a somewhat inexplicable expression:

"It seems...I never said I wanted to go by myself, right?"

He felt that the two men seemed to have misunderstood something.

Hearing Chen Ziyan's words, Wu Laogou and Li Wu glanced at each other subconsciously, and then looked at Chen Ziyan together.

After being reminded by the person involved, they finally realized this, and Chen Ziyan really didn't say he planned to do it himself.

The next second, the two of them looked past Chen Ziyan and towards the silent Hua Hu behind him.

Because it was Chen Ziyan who proposed the idea, he or his people must be the ones to implement it. Since Chen Ziyan doesn't plan to go in person, it can only be the two people behind him.

However, Wushuang Ghost was already excluded at the first opportunity.

This guy has an over-the-top body shape. Letting him go will undoubtedly increase the difficulty out of thin air, so the choice is already obvious.

"It seems that you two have guessed it. Yes, Huahu will carry out this operation." Chen Ziyan gave the correct answer in time.

That's right, he just planned to let Huahu do this.

Although Chen Ziyan is not yet at the level of a rich man, he can still be equipped if he can't sit down in the hall.

When Li Wu heard this, his peripheral vision couldn't help but fall on his subordinates.

Although he was very sure that Chen Ziyan's attempt would have no results, what if it happened?

If something is really discovered and he doesn't send someone to go with him, will the information he gets be biased?

Li Wu thought for a while and felt that if he put himself in Chen Ziyan's position, the clues he would get would definitely not reveal everything.

But he quickly gave up this idea, because after noticing his gaze, his men took a step back in unison, and their steps were astonishingly neat.

Apparently, his troops showed no enthusiastic interest.

And because it was a business establishment, Li Wu really couldn't force him, at least he couldn't do that kind of thing on this occasion.

Wu Laogou acted like it had nothing to do with him, but Li Wu thought it was normal, because Wu Laogou only brought dogs with him this time, and it made no difference whether he took action or not this time.

"Manager Li, please prepare some things."

Chen Ziyan could somewhat tell what Li Wu was thinking, but he didn't care at all.

Li Wu heard this and said quickly: "Okay, I'll have someone prepare it right now."

The preparation time is very short, and other things may not be available here, but the equipment Chen Ziyan needs is not lacking here, and they are all high-quality products of military quality.

Soon the staff brought a set of protective clothing and a rope. Chen Ziyan took it and took a look, and he immediately felt confident.

This protective suit is probably even resistant to radiation, and the black-haired snake's attack was just a drizzle on it.

Needless to say, the ropes are of excellent quality.

After he was ready, Chen Ziyan looked at Li Wudao and said, "Manager Li, that's it. Please open the door."

Li Wu didn't hesitate and nodded directly to the staff waiting next to him.

He didn't need to say much about the risks of going out at this time. Since Chen Ziyan insisted on doing it, what else could he say.

Click——

After receiving the instruction, the staff immediately pressed the switch to open the portal. With a sound of mechanical rotation, a two-meter-high portal appeared in front of everyone.

Before the door was fully opened, Li Wu said to Chen Ziyan: "Master Chen, you have to hurry up, or the snake outside will come in."

Although there are no new black-haired snakes outside now, the original ones are still there. If the door is left open for too long, some black-haired snakes will definitely come in.

Chen Ziyan nodded slightly to him, and then waved to Huahu, who was already prepared.

Huahu immediately took steps and walked towards the door.

When Huahu walked out of the door, the staff member immediately pressed the switch without Li Wu giving an order.

Chen Ziyan and the others were standing in front of the transparent glass wall, looking at the flower fox outside. They saw that the flower fox didn't even look at the black-haired snakes at its feet. After going out, it went straight to the location of the snake ball.

"Brother Hua, you must be careful, the snake ball is very deep." Upon seeing this, Li Wu immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and ordered.

But what made him feel embarrassed was that there was no memory in the walkie-talkie, as if he hadn't heard what he said.

Li Wu subconsciously looked at Chen Ziyan, who smiled and explained: "Manager Li, my two subordinates have some problems with their language systems, so he can't answer you."

"Is there something wrong with the language system?" Li Wu asked a little doubtfully.

Chen Ziyan spread his hands: "Yes, as the saying goes, he is a mute."

Li Wu and Wu Laogou also remembered at this time that they seemed to have never heard any sound from Chen Ziyan since they met him.

I thought they were well-trained before, but I didn't expect the truth to be this.

Li Wu immediately thought of something wrong, looked at Chen Ziyan and asked: "That's wrong, Mr. Chen, if Brother Hua can't talk, how can he communicate with us?"

He also hopes to learn about the situation inside the snake ball through Huahu's feedback. How can he play with it now?

"Don't worry about this, because we can't speak, so we have a special way of communication."

Speaking of this, Chen Ziyan looked at Wu Laogou and smiled: "You can think of it as a kind of communication code, but it is simpler. I named it 'Knock Knock Talk'."

"Ah... Mr. Chen is still awesome." Li Wu almost lost control of his expression, but he managed to control it in time.

But with a smile on his face and a horse in his heart, he was talking about his current situation.

He now regrets that he agreed to Chen Ziyan to send Huahu out. If he finds out now, it will be really exclusive.

"Average, average." Chen Ziyan said politely.

He actually wanted to chat more with Li Wu, but Huahu had already reached the edge of the pothole where the snake ball was, which made Chen Ziyan no longer in the mood to chat.

Under the gaze of everyone, Hua Hu came to the edge of the pit without any hesitation and went straight into the pit along the edge. From the perspective of Chen Ziyan and the others, there was nothing like jumping into the squirming snake ball.

the difference.

"What a warrior!" Seeing such a scene, even though he had been prepared for it, Li Wu couldn't help but sigh: "Master Chen, this is a real warrior!"

Wu Laogou also nodded. Li Wu's evaluation was very pertinent.

When Huahu was walking as usual in such a heavy protective suit, he was not so shocked, because good physical fitness was nothing to them. After being in this industry for a long time, there were many people with extraordinary talents.

But people with a strong will like Huahu are even rarer.

"Manager Li, thank you for the award." Chen Ziyan smiled and said nothing more.

People on their own know their own affairs. Huahu is too determined and has no concept of fear at all.

But there was no need for him to explain anything. This wrong understanding was not a bad thing.

"Ta da da...ta da...ta...ta da da..."

At this moment, a burst of chaotic knocking sounds suddenly came from the intercom.

The knocking sound immediately attracted everyone's attention, causing others present to look at Chen Ziyan immediately.

They knew without guessing that this must be the special method of communication that Chen Ziyan was talking about.

Acting requires a complete set, so Chen Ziyan's face turned serious the moment the knocking sound was heard, and he turned to the intercom to listen.

While listening, his fingers were also tapping on the microphone of the walkie-talkie, as if they were having a conversation with each other.

Li Wu's eyelids jumped. When the knocking sound sounded, most of the existing telegram codes appeared in his mind, but none of them matched.

This made his idea of ​​eavesdropping fail before it even started.

If Chen Ziyan knew his plan, he would definitely tell him that this idea was doomed to failure from the moment it appeared.

Because...he doesn't have anything to say!

That was just a gimmick he deliberately created to divert attention. Now, whether it's the knocking sound from Huahu's side or the response he gave here, they are just garbled codes typed out at random.

From the very beginning, he controlled Hua Hu remotely through the unique connection between his puppet armor and his master.

"Master Chen, how is the situation with Brother Hua now?"

When Chen Ziyan stopped moving, Li Wu immediately asked.

He was eager to know what Chen Ziyan and Hua Hu said.

"Manager Li, what did the pothole look like before the snake ball appeared?"

Chen Ziyan did not answer him directly, but suddenly asked such a question.

"What did the pothole look like before?" Li Wu was stunned for a moment, and then said in confusion: "What could be abnormal about that place? Isn't it just an ordinary hole?"

"Huahu found something special down there." Chen Ziyan said slowly.

"What special thing?" Li Wu asked immediately.

"I don't know." Chen Ziyan shook his head slightly and explained: "After all, chatting is not as good as direct communication, so I can't describe it in too much detail, and there is not even a little light in there, and there are so many black-haired snakes.

You can’t see the whole thing clearly.”

This is not because Chen Ziyan deliberately concealed it, but this is indeed the case.

Not to mention Huahu, who doesn't have much intelligence, they won't get many answers even if they go.

"I won't hide it from you two. In fact, this hole was left by us when we usually caught black-haired snakes." Li Wu thought for a while and said.

He told Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou that in fact, not long after they took over this place, the hole containing the snake balls in front of them was left by them when they usually caught black-haired snakes.

As for their method of catching black-haired snakes, they simply choose a place to dig. No matter where they shovel from, they can dig out sleeping black-haired snakes.

The reason why I dug downwards was to further explore the secrets here while capturing the black-haired snake.

Chen Ziyan nodded to express understanding, and then asked: "So before the black-haired snake had problems here, there was nothing abnormal in the pothole where the snake ball was, right?"

"That's right." Li Wu nodded immediately: "If there is really a situation, then there is no reason why we should not know about it."

"Butler!"

Just when everyone was confused about this, a staff member suddenly shouted.

"What's the matter?" Li Wu looked at the other party and asked.

The staff member reported his findings: "The depth of the pothole is wrong. It is two meters deeper than what we recorded."

His words immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Li Wu quickly asked: "What's going on? Is there any evidence?"

The staff first pulled out a record, pointed to the last record and said: "This is the record left after our last excavation."

Chen Ziyan clearly saw that 12.62 meters was written on it.

Then the staff member pointed to the rope outside the glass wall. Only then did Chen Ziyan and the others discover that there were circles of different color marks on the rope at every other section.

Then they heard the staff say: "Our ropes all have signs on them. There are rings of different colors every one meter. Look at the ropes on the edge of the pothole. This is already the fifteenth sign."

Because of his usual habit, this staff member started to count the number of rings after Hua Hu went down, so he could find something wrong.

"Fifteen signs? Does that mean the pothole is now 15 meters deep?" Li Wu looked at the staff and asked.

"Yes." The staff nodded affirmatively.

"This means that during this period, the depth of the pothole increased by more than two meters?" Wu Laogou concluded.

Chen Ziyan nodded: "Although I don't know the specific reason yet, it seems to be the case."

"Then the thing that Brother Hua discovered appeared because of this?" Li Wu immediately thought of the message sent by Hua Hu.

If the depth of the pothole was expanded, it would make sense that something unknown to them would appear.

Chen Ziyan glanced at Li Wu and made a guess: "Could the snake ball that appears here be related to the thing below?"

In fact, Chen Ziyan had doubts from the beginning, thinking that his nephew alone should not be so powerful. After all, there was still a long distance between the two.

What appeared in the pothole now undoubtedly made him more suspicious.

"No way?" Li Wu's face suddenly fell.

He thought the situation would get better, but now it has become a wave of ups and downs.

"Perhaps multiple factors have led to the current situation." After thinking about it, Wu Laogou gave another possibility.

He felt that his nephew was not innocent, but there was also something wrong with the things under the pothole.
