But before Chen Ziyan could express his doubts, Li Wu led them to the other side of the hall and opened a door again.
As soon as Chen Ziyan walked through the door, his attention was immediately attracted by the transparent glass wall on the side.
Outside the glass wall is an extremely wide space. With the help of those searchlight beams, you can clearly see that this space is full of strange black snakes.
Most of these snakes are as thick as a human arm, with dense black hair extending from the top of the head to the tail. Some black snakes can still be seen when a person stands up. The necks of these snakes will stretch out, looking like
It grows a pair of wings.
Black-haired snake.
Looking at the dense black snakes outside, Chen Ziyan immediately thought of this name.
No verification is required, the iconic black hair alone is enough to prove identity.
After taking two steps forward, Chen Ziyan discovered that the space outside was not at the same level as where they were, and there was a pit of unknown depth. However, the black-haired snake inside had been entangled into a snake ball, so he didn't look at it at first glance.
Come out.
"Manager Li, this is different from what you said." After seeing the snake ball, which must be at least ten meters in diameter, Chen Ziyan turned to look at Li Wu.
Seeing the scene in front of him, he couldn't tell that the black-haired snake underground had not just begun to wake up, but had already woken up a lot.
Let’s not talk about anything else. Just from what we can see, the number of black-haired snakes must be measured in ‘ten thousand’.
To be honest, after suddenly seeing so many black-haired snakes, Chen Ziyan was thinking of returning home.
If so many black-haired snakes rush out at once, let alone those fierce dogs and weasels he brought, even if they increase several times, it will not help.
The combat effectiveness of this thing is not low. Weasels that are good at dealing with snakes may be able to deal with one-on-one, but there is absolutely no way to deal with multiple black-haired snakes. The number of weasels he brought is less than a hundred, and he is afraid that they will be overwhelmed by the snakes in an instant.
.
Restraint also requires basic rules, just like water and fire. Water can put out fire, and fire can evaporate water. The key depends on the strength of both parties.
Not to mention that according to what Chen Ziyan knew, there was an extraordinarily large individual inside this black-haired snake. If there were many of them, it would be difficult for him to deal with them.
"Don't worry, Master Chen. There may seem to be many snakes, but they are actually within control. We are absolutely safe here." Li Wu said confidently.
Obviously, he has strong confidence in this underground steel fortress.
Chen Ziyan believed what he said. If it was not safe here, the staff here would not stay here.
But the safety here has little to do with what they want to do. At most, it provides them with a safe base, but it cannot help them solve the problem.
If they want to find out the reason why the black-haired snakes are waking up one after another, they must get out of this fortress, and now there is no place to stay outside. How can they explore and solve the problem? Just watching here can't solve the problem. p>
Wu Laogou also lost confidence. He touched his chin and shook his head: "This matter is difficult to handle. We are trapped here but we can't figure out the specific cause of the matter."
No matter what other people think, he will not go out easily anyway. Whoever wants to risk death will do it.
Hearing Wu Laogou's words, the smile on Li Wu's face immediately froze, obviously thinking of this unsolvable joint.
Only then did he remember that the main reason why he summoned all kinds of strange people to help him was that the strange snakes in the ground moved so fast that when they discovered it, they were unable to go out to investigate.
"Mr. Li, do you have any specific information about this kind of snake?" Chen Ziyan did not dwell too much on this issue and asked instead.
Regardless of whether we can go out and continue, it is always good to learn more about black-haired snakes. This trip cannot be in vain.
"There is not much useful information. There are no relevant records of this snake so far, so we generally call it a 'black-haired snake' based on its characteristics. What is known so far is that the black-haired snake is extremely ferocious and highly venomous.
, and the speed is very fast, but this kind of snake usually sleeps underground. This is the first time that such a large-scale awakening has occurred."
After recalling for a while, Li Wu briefly explained the information he knew.
Chen Ziyan was slightly disappointed. These were similar to what he knew, and he didn't get anything new.
"Then do you have any way to restrain them?"
He thought about this again. Li Wu and the others were mining snake mines here, so awakenings would inevitably occur during transportation, so there must be ways to deal with them.
"There is no absolute way to restrain it." Li Wu shook his head without hesitation.
They did have a unique arrangement during transportation, but that method was not suitable for the situation at hand, and it was top secret, so it was impossible for him to tell it.
Chen Ziyan knew that he was not telling the truth, but he did not ask further. There are some things that just asking are useless.
But at this moment, Wu Laogou suddenly caught the loophole in Li Wu's words: "There is no absolute way to restrain it? Does that mean there is an effective way?"
"Uh..." Li Wu was speechless.
But he still didn't say what the method was.
Chen Ziyan turned his gaze to the outside space again, looking at the crawling black snakes, trying to see if he could find any useful clues.
From the beginning to the end, Chen Ziyan firmly believes that the problem here can be solved, but the correct method has not yet been found.
The reason is... Wu Laogou did it before in the original plot.
Chen Ziyan felt that he would not lose to the opponent, so he was helpless for no reason.
In terms of force, he can definitely crush them. In terms of intelligence, he may be slightly lacking, but the memory of his previous life is enough to make up for it. As for his helpers, the dogs and weasels brought by Chen Ziyan are not only sufficient in quantity, but also not weak in quality.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyan suddenly thought of a key point.
He remembered that when Wu Xie came here later, he learned that his grandfather had lost more than a dozen carefully tamed fierce dogs in order to solve his nephew's problem.
Chen Ziyan didn't know if the fierce dogs lost in the story were the ones following Wu Laogou at the moment, but this allowed him to capture a key piece of information.
That is why Wu Laogou focused on solving the problem on his nephew!
Although I don’t know why my nephew affected the black-haired snake deep underground, judging from the final result, Wu Laogou’s direction is correct.
"Let's go back first." Chen Ziyan thought of this, looked at the others and said, "We have seen the situation here now. Even if we want to go out, we can't do it. So why not go back to the ground and think about it carefully."
"Well, you have to think about it carefully." Wu Laogou was the first to agree.
He has no interest in this place now, and has made up his mind to leave immediately after completing his sense of presence. It is better to leave the problems here to young people to deal with.
Maybe it was the appearance of Chen Ziyan that made Wu Laogou make a decision that was completely opposite to the original plot.
However, this does not affect the overall situation. From the moment Chen Ziyan appeared here, the direction of this matter has deviated from the established route.
"Okay, let's go back first." Both Chen Ziyan and Wu Laogou said so, what else could Li Wu say?
However, he was not too frustrated. After all, the main purpose of coming down this time was to let Chen Ziyan and the others know more about the current situation, and he did not expect to solve the problem.
When leaving, Chen Ziyan took a deep look at the space outside, and the scene there was firmly engraved in his heart.
Although he didn't see anything, he always felt that something had been overlooked, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong.
The journey back went smoothly, and I didn't even see a shadow of a snake along the way.
After returning to the surface, Chen Ziyan and the others did not disband, but began to discuss what to do next.
Although their respective purposes are different, they all need to solve the problem here first, so they have no differences at this time.
"The situation is very clear now. The problem we are facing now is to find a way to get into the snake group first, otherwise we can only make random guesses." Chen Ziyan tapped his fingers on the table and said.
He pushed the problem out because he didn't want to take responsibility for it.
Chen Ziyan is not helpless about this. Even if his domain weapon cannot completely suppress the black-haired snake, it should still have some effect.
But the current situation is a bit complicated, and he has to leave some cards for himself.
Wu Laogou followed closely: "If it's a matter of dealing with wild beasts, I have some ideas, but for snakes and insects, I have nothing to do."
An old man like him has hollow eyelashes, so he can't understand the meaning of Chen Ziyan's words.
Li Wu felt speechless. These two people really pushed him clean. If he had a way to enter the snake group to check the situation, what kind of foreign aid would he need to find?
However, Yingzi, who was listening in the audience, suddenly said after thinking for a while: "Brother Chen, you said the strange snakes in the ground are entangled into snake balls?"
Chen Ziyan did not expect Yingzi to speak suddenly. He was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "Yes, and it seems that the scale of Snake Ball is still expanding."
Yingzi nodded and continued: "This kind of snake is called a snake in the mountains. It usually only appears in two situations. The first is hibernation and the second is mating."
Other Yingzi may not know it, but she is most familiar with the habits of animals, so when she heard the word snake ball, she immediately thought of the ones she had seen in the mountains before.
"Snake group? Hibernation or mating?" Chen Ziyan blinked.
Then he seemed to have thought of something and looked at Wu Laogou opposite, who happened to be looking at him as well. After their eyes met in the air, they immediately understood the meaning of the other person's eyes.
This really tells the truth about the dreamer!
Chen Ziyan finally remembered what he felt was wrong underground.
Snake ball!
Snakes sleeping underground have awakened on a large scale, and snake balls have appeared. Hibernation is obviously impossible, but mating is very possible!
But before Chen Ziyan could get happy, Li Wu interrupted his conjecture and just heard him say: "It's not mating. It's not less than two hundred meters above the ground. Coupled with the climate here, the average temperature underground is average."
It’s around 12 degrees, which doesn’t constitute a mating condition for snakes.”
How could they not have thought of this possibility? You must know that they are not only mining here, but also have researchers stationed here all year round.
As soon as the snake ball appeared, the possibility of mating had been verified.
Before the joy on Chen Ziyan's face fully appeared, he was knocked back by Li Wu's words. He looked at the other party with some surprise: "Have you verified that it is not mating?"
Li Wu nodded seriously: "No, researchers have proposed this conjecture for the first time, but after research, they found that the conditions there are not satisfactory. The reason why the strange snakes in the ground sleep all year round is that the temperature is
One of the main reasons."
"I thought I had successfully found a solution to the problem." Chen Ziyan sighed with some disappointment.
Wu Laogou, on the other hand, fell into deep thought after hearing Li Wu's words. At this moment, he guessed: "I have an idea. Could the weird behavior of the strange snake below be affected by external forces?"
He was a little frustrated at first, but he soon thought of external factors. According to Li Wu, the situation here has been going on for who knows how many years.
Therefore, the current situation is most likely caused by external forces.
"The influence of external forces?" Chen Ziyan looked at Wu Laogou.
Wu Laogou nodded gently at him: "Yes, there are only two reasons for the changes in the underground. One is the problem of the strange snake itself, and the other is the influence of the outside world on it."
Chen Ziyan started to think along the ideas provided by Wu Laogou, and found that it was really what he said.
Facts have proved that sometimes all that is missing to solve a problem is an idea.
"Nephew!" After thinking for a moment, Chen Ziyan slowly spit out two words.
If there is anything different here compared to before, it would be the nephew who attacked the camp.
It is not difficult to see from Li Wu's reaction that they have never seen a strange beast like Nephew here before, otherwise they would not be caught off guard by it.
It can be seen from these that Nephew clearly only appeared here recently.
"Yes." Li Wu also woke up and said excitedly.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was right. Although he had only seen his nephew last night, it did not mean that this thing had just arrived in this area last night.
"It seems that the next thing we have to do is to find a way to deal with those nephews." Wu Laogou also nodded.
Although Nephew is also very fierce, in his opinion, it is easier to deal with than the countless black-haired snakes underground.
When Chen Ziyan saw Wu Laogou nodding, the doubts in his mind were instantly solved. He finally knew why in the original plot, Wu Laogou would deal with his nephew at all costs.
It seems that in the original timeline, Wu Laogou also speculated that the changes in the underground were caused by the appearance of Nephew, so he spent a lot of money to deal with Nephew who was wandering around.
Wrong!
Chen Ziyan suddenly thought, when Wu Xie came here, there was still a nephew here?
