My Arknights Life Diary

The crevice is extremely narrow, and one can only crawl forward here. Moving forward here is a torture both physically and mentally.

If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely be driven crazy by this claustrophobic and difficult environment.

But Nancy is not one of them.

This dangerous crevice was nothing to her.

What kind of psychological pressure might a dark, confined environment bring?

Nancy said that it was impossible for her to have any psychological pressure.

In a dark environment, you lose your way or even get stuck by rocks, leading to your eternal burial here?

Nancy said that the possibility of this happening was not as high as the previous one and she might suffer from psychological pressure.

Nancy moved down little by little, and the temperature around her gradually rose, 37 degrees, 38 degrees, 39 degrees, 40 degrees...

Nancy could feel the temperature of the surrounding rocks getting hotter and hotter. This was good news, as it meant that Nancy was getting closer to her destination.

After a while, as Nancy crawled through the tiny gap between two protruding stones, her body was affected by gravity and slid directly down.

Nancy just balanced her body and prepared to land.

After about 4 seconds, Nancy slipped out of the crack due to gravity. If it were someone else, he would probably fall to the ground due to the panic caused by weightlessness.

But the person who slid out of the crack now was Nancy. Nancy adjusted her body balance the moment she slid out of the crack and landed steadily on the ground.

After Nancy landed, light appeared in this dark space.

Nancy looked around. It was a cave deep underground. The rock walls were smooth and damp, and the ground was covered with a stream that was about ankle-deep.

There was a slight smell of sulfur in the air.

"The temperature is about 39.8 degrees, which is a little lower than when we were in the middle of the rock wall. It seems to be because of the water."

Nancy muttered to herself, without stopping for too long, she stepped on the water and walked deeper into the cave.

Crash~crash~crash~

In this dark and silent cave, the sound of Nancy stepping on water was particularly obvious.

The dark and unfamiliar environment could not stop Nancy. As she walked, she left the underground stream and came to the solid ground.

As it walked, it slowly went down along the dark underground passage, and then as it walked, the temperature around it became higher and higher.

Until cracks appeared in the wall, until red light emerged from the cracks in the rocks on the ground.

Until a little light appeared in the dark environment, Nancy knew that she was almost at her destination.

Then she quickened her pace. The temperature was getting higher and higher, approaching 50 degrees. Nancy had to use some gadgets to keep this body functioning properly.

With the help of these gadgets, the hot environment did not have any substantial impact on her.

After a while, the cave had become very large, and Nancy could now see exposed magma and vents similar to hot springs that would occasionally spew out magma.

Nancy knew she had arrived at her destination, so she walked to the nearest vent and began to set up some equipment around it.

"Wait, I think I heard the sound of large-scale crustacean activity, and... footsteps?"

Nancy stopped what she was doing and looked into the distance, but in this intricate cave, countless rocks blocked her view.

This made it impossible for her to see anything clearly, but Nancy didn't want to see anything clearly.

"The source of the sound has been locked... Then, in order for the next plan to proceed smoothly, some troubleshooting is necessary."

Nancy said this, quickly built a detection device, then stood up and left the nozzle, walking towards the source of the sound...

.................

"Hoohoo~ Are they still chasing?"

"Well, I didn't expect that we would be so unlucky today. Be careful with these Originium insect swarms!"

When the person in the protective suit noticed the magma grenades fired by the Originium Worms in the distance, he immediately stopped what he was saying and started to remind his companions.

However, this reminder seems to have come a little late.

It seemed that her companion didn't react at all, so the man under the protective suit became ruthless, increased his speed, and rushed directly towards his companion.

The collision disrupted the two men's steps, and also caused the lava grenade that was supposed to hit them to successfully pass by them.

However, as their steps were disrupted, their movement speed slowed down a lot. In addition, they were both carrying some equipment, and the Originium worms were already very close at this time.

These Originium worms have evolved to adapt to the volcanic environment, so their temperature is very high and ordinary contact may cause burns, which means that they are much more dangerous than ordinary Originium worms.

Although, the one or two that came up now still posed no threat to the two, they could easily repel them by releasing some Originium skills using the spell-casting units on their bodies that had been transformed into the shape of ballpoint pens.

But the key point is that they are not facing one or two, but a whole group of hundreds or even thousands of Originium Bugs chasing them. How did this situation come about?

How else could it appear? Of course, it was because these two scholars disturbed the Originium swarm while conducting volcanic surveys and other research.

As a result, they are now being chased by a swarm of Originium insects.

Although the two of them had pretty good Originium skills, they were still essentially just scientific researchers, and could only deal with one or two occasionally. Fortunately, they encountered such a large group, so they had to run away.

By the way, if these two were willing to throw away the miscellaneous equipment they were carrying, they would probably have run out of the cave long ago.

Just as the two of them repelled a few Originium insects that rushed over first and were about to fight the sea of ​​insects in front of them, a voice rang out.

"I didn't expect there would be people in a place like this, but now I'm quite curious, how did you manage to alarm so many Originium bugs at the same time?"

The two's attention was attracted by the sound. They looked towards the source of the sound and saw a young film woman with white hair who was not wearing any protective clothing.

It was standing on a higher rock, looking down at them, holding a small blue ball in its hand.

"Do you need help?"

The white-haired Filin woman looked at the two people below and asked.

"Trouble!"

After hearing the two people's answers, Nancy did not hesitate and directly threw the ball in her hand towards the source of the insect swarm.

boom!

The small ball suddenly exploded in mid-air, and what followed was a very unscientific scene.

In this underground magma layer with a temperature of over 50 degrees, ice and snow actually appeared on the ground, and it was spreading faster and faster!

Then, in the extremely astonished sight of the two, a few dozen meters long ice isolation zone separated the insect swarm from them.

As expected, the insects in the isolation zone died directly in the cold.

Those outside the isolation zone could only stare blankly outside the isolation zone and were unable to cross the cold isolation zone at all.

Their bodies have already undergone a certain degree of mutation due to the volcanic environment, and now their resistance to cold has been greatly reduced.

"Let's go. Although this isolation zone can last for a while, these bugs will find other paths. By then, you might still be trapped!"

Nancy said this, jumped down from the rock, and spoke to the two of them.

"Uh...thank you, may I ask, miss, what is your name?"

"Nancy."
