Throwing away the laptop that was no longer valuable in his hand, Lin Chi continued to inspect several other nearby laboratories to search for possible props and other clues.

In the other rooms in front, the layout of the first laboratory is not much different. Lin Chi was unable to find anything available.

But when he pushed open the main entrance of the last circular building, his vision suddenly blurred.

The turbid dark yellow gas floated in the air in front of him. Although the protective clothing mask isolated the outside air, just looking at the color of the gas, Lin Chi could already imagine a pungent stench.

"What the hell?"

Before Lin Chi finished speaking, a line of blood-red words suddenly appeared in front of him: "Rat Man", hero-level NPC (not recruitable). Immediately afterwards, a huge figure suddenly appeared from behind the stinking.

The human-shaped monster with black hair on the upper body rushed out of the smoke, stretched out its rough big hand and waved it towards Lin Chi's head. The mouse head above its head made a sharp squeak.

Dong!

The rat man missed Lin Chi's head and hit the metal wall of the institute, smashing the seemingly solid wall into a depression.

It didn't even take a look back. Its head had been shot through by a light machine gun. Its body twitched and fell down. Under its head, a large hole was made, a pool of dark red blood stains slowly flowed out.

The attack speed of this monster is actually not slow, but for Lin Chi, who has just experienced the battle between "Bigford" and Marcus BOSS, this speed is not worth mentioning at all. It can be described as pitiful slowness...

"Sorry."

Lin Chi said that, leaving the institute with its own smoke special effects, and did not forget to turn around and close the door intimately. After all, the smell in this room was really too "explosive". If there was a problem with the protective clothing mask, he might faint directly.

——It’s time to move on.

Looking up at the darkness in the distance, Lin Chi walked forward, looking for the base hidden underground.

As he got closer and closer to the bottom of Olympus volcano, the temperature nearby began to rise. Lin Chi, wearing a protective suit, began to seep fine beads of sweat from his skin.

He knew that he should be approaching the magma area. If he continued to move forward, there might be danger, and he might even be buried directly in lava.

Could it be that the underground base is not directly under Mount Olympus, but somewhere else?

While Lin Chi was speculating, he noticed an inconspicuous light spot at the end of his vision. He turned off the tactical flashlight in his hand and walked gently towards the position where the light was lit. The dark red light began to expand rapidly in his sight and became clearer.

It was a small magma pool embedded in the open space, filled with dark red liquid that was constantly wriggling, and white smoke rose from above the pool and drifted towards the dark underground cavity.

In this way, I should have arrived at the area where magma is active...

Thinking of this, Lin Chi was about to go over and take a look, but saw several inconspicuous white lights lit up from the other side of the magma pool, like flashlights.

Seeing that the guy who was suspected to be an enemy appeared, he also crawled decisively on the ground, took out the bullet-filled anti-equipment from his backpack and put it on the ground, and used the high-magnification scope on the sniper rifle to observe the situation near the magma pool.

Next to the pool that was shining with lava, several bloated figures soon appeared. Although they were not clearly seen from this distance, Lin Chi could still recognize that the guys were wearing space suits that could completely isolate external heat.

Although the space suits used by astronauts to work in harsh environments in space are extremely bulky, their protective capabilities are obviously much stronger than those of the criminal tribe.

However, since those people wear space suits, their movement speed will definitely be much slower. In other words, they will become living targets in human form.

Under the gaze of Lin Chi, who was hiding in the dark, the three bulky "astronauts" stopped beside the magma pool. One of them lowered the metal box-shaped equipment behind his back, as if he was preparing to take measurements.

——What are they doing?

Seeing this scene, Lin Chi's curiosity began to move again.

He knew very well that the other party might have carried a low light night vision device or thermal imaging, but when there is high brightness magma around him, the night vision device should not work properly. The thermal imager's vision will also be disturbed by the high-temperature smoke emitted from the magma, and it is impossible to see the enemy at such a distance.

After making the judgment, Lin Chi picked up the sniper rifle and moved to the side with the help of dark cover, trying to observe the actions of the three people.

He successfully sneaked to about 100 meters away from the three people. After finding the angle, Lin Chi set up a sniper rifle again and saw the astronaut carrying the metal box pressing something against the box that was roasted red by the high temperature, as if he was performing some kind of operation.

Even Lin Chi couldn't tell what the equipment in these people were for. It would be better to figure out what was going on, or "ask" them.

Faced with the current situation, Lin Chi also decisively determined his next action strategy and began to sneak around from the side, preparing to go around behind the enemy and wait for an opportunity to take action.

However, it should be very simple to sneak into combat in normal times, but it becomes extremely difficult in this environment.

"This place is too hot..." Lin Chi complained in a faint voice.

——According to his knowledge, the approximate temperature of the magma can actually be measured by the naked eye. It is visually estimated that magma close to white has the highest temperature, greater than 1,150 degrees Celsius. The dark red magma should be around 500 to 700 degrees.

However, for protective clothing that cannot isolate extreme temperatures, let alone five hundred degrees, even if it is only three hundred degrees, it has long exceeded the limit of human tolerance.

Even if he shoots these people now, it is impossible for him to successfully "pick up the corpse" under the blockage of the invisible walls created by high temperatures.

Although you can ambush the enemy far from the magma pool, there is no cover in this open space. If the enemy wears a night vision device or thermal imaging equipment when leaving, you will definitely be discovered immediately.

So, what should we do now to deal with those enemies without realizing it before we are roasted into charcoal?
