Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 348
Buried alive?

Su Xia thought subconsciously.

These thousands of metal coffins are buried deep in the foul-smelling landfill.

Some are buried very deep, while others are buried shallower, one layer after another, and there are many in each layer.

The shallower the area, the more organisms survived inside the coffin, which seems to have been buried recently.

In the deep metal coffin, it may have been buried for too long, and there are almost no signs of life.

Moreover, Su Xia also sensed dense metal lines, like layers of large nets, connecting these metal coffins underground.

"Not right..."

Su Xia frowned. He never expected that this last task would encounter a difficult problem.

He thought it would be enough to find the mission target and give some money and supplies.

Now it seems that it is far from that simple.

He hovered high in the sky, observing carefully.

Below him is a giant oval-shaped landfill, similar to many open-air huge mines, surrounded by roads that accommodate large trucks.

At the same time, there are many bulldozers, excavators, compactors, sprinklers, lightning protection vehicles and other mechanical equipment needed for various landfills.

Many of the equipment are old and dilapidated, and the metal surface is covered with rust.

"Buzz-"

When the equipment is in operation, it makes a lot of noise, and the parts of the equipment are constantly vibrating, and some of them are still emitting black smoke.

On the surface, this is a normal landfill in operation.

It can be seen that more than a dozen employees in security uniforms are patrolling the edge of the landfill.

"It's not an ordinary security guard." Su Xia saw clearly.

Those security guards were tall, loaded with live ammunition, and had sharp eyes like eagles. They did not relax at all when patrolling, and many professional bodyguards of rich businessmen and dignitaries were no more than that.

Under normal circumstances, the security guards hired by the landfill are either middle-aged people with potbellies or old men who are about to lose their teeth, just to cope with the inspections above.

Moreover, the number of cameras around this landfill is unimaginable.

Countless cameras surrounded the entire landfill, constantly turning over time, like eyes scanning each other, without leaving any dead spots.

This terrifying amount is comparable to the military powerhouses of certain cities.

Su Xia's eyes swept over those security guards, and after looking at them several times, she finally got a description from one of them.

[Landfill Security: Member of Left Eye Security Group]

There is only such a description, and there is no basic information such as name, age, place of birth, etc., like an artificial human that does not exist in real life.

Su Xia looked at the other dozen or so people and looked carefully many times.

But in the end, the information was all the same.

[Landfill Security: Member of Left Eye Security Group]

What kind of person is so simple that they can't even read life information?
Doubts flashed in Su Xia's mind, but he didn't have time to worry about it now, saving people was the top priority.

At the bottom of this landfill, there are hundreds of living creatures, and it is very difficult to rescue them all.

During this period, it was even more difficult not to alert these security personnel.

The deepest one is buried at a depth of hundreds of meters underground, and even the shallowest one is about five meters underground.

[It is detected that the life breath of the mission target is weak, please rescue it as soon as possible]

A prompt pops up suddenly.

The location of the mission target is on the edge of the landfill, about ten meters underground.

"If it's just to save her, maybe it's okay."

Su Xia thought about it seriously.

The biggest problem is that he doesn't know the specific situation underground.

There are too many worries to do here, otherwise he can completely wave his hand and use his own ability to pull out all the metal coffins from the ground.

In Su Xia's perception, the dense lines at the bottom of the landfill are all endless, spreading in all directions outside the landfill, and it is not known where they will eventually connect.

He tried to trace one of the routes, but he gave up after flying more than ten kilometers, and had to fly back to the sky above the landfill.

In the end, Su Xia could only take a risk and try to rescue the mission target first.

"Try it first."

He landed slowly, in an area outside the landfill.

Afterwards, he took out a pile of metal fragments from the space.

Under his control, these fragments began to rotate rapidly, like sharp cutting knives, cutting the soil layer on the ground.

At the same time, countless tiny nano-robots combined with each other to form a bowl-shaped semicircular cover, which was turned upside down in the area where Su Xia was working, and the environment simulation function was activated.

From the outside, this area is still full of weeds, no different from before.

And Su Xia continued to work in the lid, digging holes in the ground diligently.

As the metal fragments were cut, countless flakes of black soil were thrown behind, and a large pit that could accommodate two people appeared on the spot.

"Brush brush..."

The speed of cutting began to accelerate, and the big pit became deeper and deeper.

When digging to a depth of about two meters, Susha changed direction and began to dig downward at an angle, gradually approaching the location of the landfill.

At this time, the bounty hunters moving around in Haima City must not have imagined that the masked strange man they had worked so hard to find was actually digging a hole outside a certain garbage dump.

After digging until about 04:30 in the afternoon, Su Xia finally reached the outermost side of the landfill.

As soon as it was dug through, a foul smell came to the face.

"呲呲-"

Su Xia sprayed some homemade fragrant medicine on her nose, and then continued to dig in.

During the excavation process, he deliberately avoided those buried lines, trying to ensure that no one was alarmed.

A piece of metal sheet was pasted around the passage he dug to ensure the stability of the passage and ensure that the top would not collapse.

At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Su Xia approached the target.

He stopped digging, rested for a while, drank two supplementary potions, and then continued to work, intending to rescue the mission target in one go.

In such a small, dark and cold underground, patients with claustrophobia would panic to the point of collapse. Fortunately, Su Xia was not seriously ill and had strong adaptability.

After more than ten minutes, with the last piece of garbage cleared, he finally dug up the metal coffin where the mission target was located.

"finally reached."

Su Xia breathed a sigh of relief and began to clean up the garbage around the coffin.

This metal coffin has an iron-gray appearance, is extremely hard, and has strong compression resistance. It is connected with several metal lines.

After Su Xia observed it carefully several times, a description appeared in his eyes.

[Alloy Breeding Chamber: A simple metal cabin used to maintain life, with fixtures inside, connected to various lines and pipes used to transmit nutrient solution, process excrement, and achieve air circulation...]

Breeding barn?
Judging by the name, it looks like something for raising animals.

Through the description, Su Xia learned that the lines connected to the outside of these gray metal coffins are actually some small transmission pipes.

He put his hand on one of the pipes and sensed it carefully. He didn't feel the hollow structure, but only felt the tiny metal wires extending one by one. These metal wires should be the outer protective layer, and the inner pipe is not metal. It's some kind of special plastic like an IV tube.

After a few minutes, Su Xia cleaned up all the garbage around the breeding barn.

He observed carefully, and found an open mechanism on its surface.

"Crack!"

Su Xia buckled the metal organ hard, and then pulled it violently.

The entire breeding barn shook, and a gap appeared on the upper floor, which was no longer so tight.

Afterwards, Su Xia waved lightly, and the metal hatch above slowly retreated, revealing the interior.

[Mission target "Su Qi" has been discovered]

Task notification.

This task is very special, there have never been so many prompts before.

The interior of the breeding barn was also iron-gray, and there lay a pale woman inside.

What Su Xia didn't expect was that the woman's stomach was not flat, but had certain ups and downs.

With the help of life-perceiving glasses, Su Xia saw that there was another life in her stomach—she was pregnant.

"What kind of experiment is this?" Su Xia's heart trembled, because one of the thin tubes was connected to the woman's abdomen, and it seemed that she wanted to extract some substance from her stomach.

"Uh-uh-"

The woman looked terrified and kept making noises after seeing him, but her mouth was sealed and she couldn't speak at all.

Her head, limbs and torso were firmly locked by the metal shackles in the breeding barn, like a prisoner waiting to die, unable to even move.

In her bloodshot eyes, one can see deep fear and despair.

Su Xia made a silent gesture and whispered, "Don't be afraid, I'm here to save you. I know your husband Zeng Gong."

Upon hearing her husband's name, the woman's body trembled.

A trace of sadness flashed in her eyes, and tears flowed down the corners of her eyes, rolling down into the cold breeding barn.

For the sake of safety, Su Xia did not tear off the tape that sealed the woman's mouth for the time being, but began to observe the remaining pipes in the breeding warehouse.

"These two tubes are... a nasogastric feeding tube and a gastric feeding tube... and this one, is it to ensure breathing and expectoration?"

Su Xia doesn't know much about this, so she can only read it a few times to see the item descriptions that come with the system, and then find a way to remove these pipes.

During the dismantling process, he was careful, trying to ensure that the woman would not be too hurt.

At the same time, he also prepared healing potions for quick healing.

Not long after, in the entire breeding barn, there was only the last thin pipe that hadn't been removed - the pipe connecting the woman's abdomen.

In the iron-gray terrarium, the rest of the hoses are connected to the outside pipes.

Only this pipe, the end of which is connected to an oval container made of alloy, seems to be waiting for someone to pick it up.

It can be seen that the other end of the thin tube has been buried in the abdomen.

Su Xia could even sense that a long metal needle at the end of the hose was in the woman's vagina.

[Extraction hose: connected to the umbilical cord to extract a substance temporarily called "viviparin"... Some Blue Star scientists believe that this substance exists and cannot be artificially synthesized, and has anti-aging effects]

Seeing this description, Su Xia frowned even tighter.

It turned out to be this kind of thing!
At the beginning, when he was studying potions in Coral City, someone came to his door with live fetuses and asked his father if he could use these fetuses to make a potion of eternal youth.

The man was reprimanded by his father, then he was kicked out of the store and never came back.

After staying by Dad's side for a long time, I can see all kinds of wonderful things.

At the beginning, that incident was just a daily episode, and there were even more bizarre ones.

Su Xia had already forgotten about that, but she didn't expect to see something similar today.

[You have obtained the mission "Buried Deep in Hell", which has been automatically accepted for you]

Another prompt popped up, and Su Xia actually got an automatic task.

[Mission: Bury Hell Deep]

[Mission description: Some scientists believe that when faced with fear, human survival instincts will be constantly stimulated, and the human body will secrete certain special substances, whether children, young people or pregnant women, will secrete corresponding substances to To ensure the continuation of life...]

[And the substance that prolongs life is exactly what the elderly need most]

[For this reason, some people who yearn for immortality came together and hid in the dark side of the world, like vampires, sucking the life that belongs to young people...]

[Current stage mission requirement: Rescue the mission target "Su Qi" and learn more information from her]

【…】

Unexpectedly, a small mission goal of the long-term mission [Burial Bone] actually involved another big mission.

Su Xia can tell from the description that this task is not so easy to do.

The system actually picked it up for him automatically.

"Absorbing the life substance of young people, can it really make the old people rejuvenate?"

Su Xia couldn't help thinking.

On the other side of the earth, there are indeed studies showing that the cerebrospinal fluid of young mice can improve the brain function of old mice.

However, these studies have not yet been conducted on humans.

At least, no human experiments have been exposed.

If it is really useful for the elderly, the consequences are unimaginable-how many young people will be lost every year in the future?
"Save people first."

Su Xia put aside those strange thoughts in her mind, and set her sights on the last hose.

Fortunately, he has life-sensing glasses and can perceive the existence of metal needles, which is almost equivalent to opening a perspective, which can avoid many dangers.

Under his careful operation, the hose was slowly taken out without harming the fetus in the stomach.

Afterwards, Su Xia immediately injected Su Qi with a healing potion to help her repair the wound.

"Can you get up?"

Su Xia put on a dress for her and tried to pull her up.

But he soon discovered that perhaps because he had been lying down for too long, Su Qi's limbs were a little weak and her body was also stiff.

Fortunately, the muscles on her body did not shrink, and she quickly adapted to the current situation. She reached out to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes, nodded, and looked at Su Xia with red eyes.

"Come with me and try not to make too much noise."

Su Xia supported her, helped her out of the breeding barn, and led her into the passage.

Then, with a light wave of his hand, countless pieces of iron, carrying the garbage, gravel, soil, etc. dug out before, flew past them, filling the dug passage again.

At around [-] p.m., the two returned to the ground.

The task sent a reminder that the current stage of [Burial Bone] has been completed, and the two rewards are automatically issued and can be claimed at any time.

But Su Xia didn't have time to look at the rewards now, so he took Su Qi away from this area, found an abandoned private house in the south of the city, and settled her down.

Su Qi, who saw the sun again, was full of tears. After tearing off the tape at the corner of her mouth, she cried and thanked Su Xia continuously: "Thank you, thank you, I thought I was going to die there..."

"No thanks, it should be."

Su Xia injected her with two more healing potions, and at the same time injected a convalescent potion to ensure that her vital signs returned to normal.

Next, he still has many questions to ask.
