Chapter 346: The Place of Bones

Watch out for strangers!

The news has not yet spread, and only a small number of trusted old members have been informed.

The notification is accompanied by multiple warnings.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

The masked geek has a weird personality, what if he's had enough of it and suddenly wants to kill?

For this kind of opponent, it is necessary to speculate on him with the greatest malice.

The information on both sides is asymmetrical.

The Zero Tavern didn't know where Su Xia was, and Su Xia didn't know how many killer features the Zero Tavern had prepared for him.

At least, he didn't know the origin of the member codenamed "Divine Stick" right now.

When he took Chu Feng and had lunch with many relatives of the Ding family, it was already more than two o'clock in the afternoon, and it was the hottest time of the day.

The body temperature is more than 10 degrees, comfortable and pleasant, suitable for a lazy afternoon tea.

City Lord Ding Yixiu was the first to leave.

"The assistant is urging me to go back, everyone talk slowly."

As the owner of the city, he is busy with daily affairs, and he can't delay too long because of these small things.

In particular, the current action against the masked monsters may have reached a critical moment, and the city power of Seahorse City cannot drop the chain.

After Ding Yixiu left, Su Xia also planned to leave.

He said to Chu Feng: "The road ahead depends on you to walk on your own, remember your current ideals and goals, and don't forget no matter how far you go in the future." ”

"Uncle, there is a dinner party today, aren't you coming?" Chu Feng was reluctant, he thought that Su Xia could stay for a few more days.

"Well, I have my own business."

"Uncle, I'll come to Coral City to look for you in the future."

"No, it's a long way, and it's dangerous right now." Su Xia shook his head and refused, "Wait, wait until the scourge of those wandering mercenaries is eliminated in the future." ”

"I've heard those mercenaries are very powerful."

Chu Feng was worried, what if the mercenary scourge would never be removed?

Su Xia smiled and said, "Don't worry, there are people who are more powerful than them." ”

At this time, Ding Hai stepped forward and asked Su Xia: "Is it that friend's business?" ”

He subconsciously thought that Su Xia had left for the masked monster.

After all, almost all the strangers who entered Seahorse City during this time came for the masked monsters.

"Well, it's him." Su Xia followed his thoughts and replied like this.

"Take care."

"Okay."

After saying goodbye to everyone in turn, Su Xia left alone.

In this city, he has one last mission.

Su Xia clicked on the task [Burying Bones in a Foreign Country], two of the three mission objectives at the current stage have been completed, and Li Qian and Chu Feng are followed by the word "Completed", and there is only one target named "Su Qi" left.

[Target Person 3: Su Qi, the wife of Zeng Gong, a member of the Old North Wind Organization]

【Target location: ......】

Click on the location map, and you can see that the last mission target is located in the southern part of Seahorse City.

Just as he was checking the detailed map, Ding Can behind him hurriedly caught up and asked, "My lord, where are you going, I'll give you a ride." ”

"No need, I'll just walk around." Of course, it was impossible for Su Xia to say the true purpose.

"When are you going to leave?"

"Tomorrow, or tonight."

"So fast?" Ding Can was surprised, "Why don't you stay for a few more days?" If it's for the masked monsters, it's not the most critical moment, right? ”

"No, the storm is coming, and the city is becoming more and more dangerous for psionic creatures."

"Adults worried about the lockdown?"

"Hmm."

"My lord, I have a secret passage out of the city."

Ding Can suddenly said that he knew an extremely hidden route.

This route is known only to him, and he has never told anyone, not even the city lord Ding Yixiu.

Hearing this, Su Xia's heart moved, stopped, turned his head to look at Ding Can, and asked, "What kind of passage?" ”

Source change app】

Ding Can replied: "It's an abandoned mine. ”

"Where?"

"It's on the outskirts of the southern city."

The mine had been abandoned for more than 40 years, and mining had ceased long before the war, Ding said.

The reason for the formation of the mine is simple, it was originally for the purpose of mining a gemstone, but then the value of that gemstone depreciated, and the people who came to dig for the treasure left, so it was abandoned.

There are many similar caves in that area.

Due to the fact that the early mining was not carried out strictly according to the specifications, which destroyed the serial and continuity of the lithosphere, coupled with the collapse of a large number of pits, which led to the continuous subsidence of the ground, that area has been classified as a "danger zone", which has been almost uninhabited for decades.

Later, Ding Can planned to establish his own power.

"I wanted to find a secluded location where my team would be stationed, so it took me more than a year to explore various abandoned areas around the city and finally found the mine." Ding Can said.

"Straight out of the city?" Su Xia asked him.

"Yes, when I went to investigate, I accidentally detonated the explosives left over from the mine, causing many tunnels to collapse, and a part of the underground was blown through, and groundwater ......"

It is clear that he blew up to the underground aquifer.

According to him, it was dangerous at the time, as the passage above collapsed due to the explosion, and the icy water was constantly gushing from below.

The gushing groundwater flooded half of his body almost instantly.

Fortunately, there is another tunnel next to it that has not completely collapsed.

He hurried into the passage, the icy groundwater surging and tumbling behind him, engulfing the area he had escaped.

Eventually, about 20 meters of vertical height were flooded with groundwater.

"Later, I went back there, put on my diving equipment, went into the flooded tunnel, and went downstream, into the aquifer, all the way south, and finally out of the city." Ding Can recounted the situation in detail.

"How long did you swim?" Su Xia asked him.

"Underground, about six hours."

"A special oxygen cylinder?"

"Yes, a swimming device that produces oxygen continuously, otherwise I wouldn't dare risk it."

"Well, six hours......"

Su Xia thought for a moment, human swimming is very physically demanding, and it is impossible to maintain high speed for a long time, even if it is a psionic creature.

People will always get tired, and once they reach their limit, and in the cold groundwater, it is easy to cause muscle twitches.

In these six hours, you can't swim too far, unless you follow the direction of the flowing water, which itself has a faster speed.

Dantecan's answer to him surprised him: "My lord, the underground water flows very fast, and I swam a total of forty-one kilometers and finally found an exit. ”

"Caves?"

"No, it's a deserted well in a small, abandoned village."

Ding Can gave a detailed account of the location of the village, and handed Su Xia a map with the approximate underground route he had drawn.

The underground world is not as safe as expected, the water temperature is extremely low, and the water is strong in some places, there are various forks, and there are some narrow areas that can easily get stuck.

Previously, when exploring the underground area of such a location, special robots were usually allowed to go, and humans themselves did not take risks.

"My lord, I will be waiting for you there with equipment if necessary." Ding Can said.

"No, it's not the last moment, it's not a big problem at the moment."

Su Xia looked up at the sky, the weather was sunny today, and the sky was very blue.

No one from Anlo has been seen yet.

He turned his head to look at Ding Can, and made a suggestion before leaving: "Your personal team, you can consider members of the undead clan." ”

Ding Can was puzzled: "My lord, the undead are all outlaws who only have interests in their eyes, and they can't be trusted." ”

"Yes, but they have the abilities you need."

"What ability?"

"Scouting." Su Xia pointed to his eyes, "The members of the undead all have a kind of reconnaissance ability, which is born with them, and it can be seen that there are undercover agents in your team. ”

"So powerful?"

"Well, you can see it as their special gift."

Su Xia couldn't explain the game system, so he could only explain it with talent.

People in this world are more trusting of psionic talents.

He continued: "The Zero Tavern should have updated a lot of information about the undead, as the son of the city lord, you shouldn't have too much to do with the tavern, but you can ask your subordinates to join the tavern and buy the information you need." ”

"My lord, I see."

"Okay, if you have nothing to do for the time being, you can go to the north of the city for me, find someone named Chengmen, and get a sum of money."

Su Xia suddenly remembered Cheng Men, who arrived in Seahorse City with Cheng Men's convoy a few days ago.

At Cheng Men, there are still about three million funds waiting for him to retrieve.

On the way to Seahorse City, he got rid of a mercenary organization and got a small sum of supplies, and promised to share them with Cheng Men at that time, but he has not had time to get them recently.

"My lord, I know this man." Ding Can said suddenly.

"Oh? Do you know? ”

"I bought a special medicine from him."

"I can't believe you're still his client."

"Cheng Men is very good at business."

Ding Can had a good impression of Cheng Men, and said: "Although his basic market is very small now, in time, he will definitely have a place in the southwest region of the mainland." ”

"Okay, after you go, explain your intentions, and Cheng Men will understand."

"My lord, what are you going to do with that money?"

"You keep it for yourself, you can cultivate Chu Feng, and you can also expand your team."

"My lord, this is your money, I can't take ......"

Ding Can hurriedly refused, a few million is a lot, enough for him to buy a batch of weapons and ammunition.

If a quest were to be posted in the Zero Tavern, those millions would be enough to reward high-level psionic creatures.

Su Xia said: "Money is not important, this world will not be calm for too long, turn the money in your hand into materials as soon as possible, once the war breaks out, cash will quickly depreciate into waste paper." ”

Ding Can was taken aback: "My lord, are you going to fight again?" There aren't many signs yet. ”

"Take a long-term view and don't limit yourself to this tiny Seahorse City." Su Xia is very optimistic about Ding Can, and the second generation of this world rarely has such an enlightened person as Ding Can.

But simple consciousness is not enough, we must also have enough vision and overall view.

He said earnestly: "The big war broke out overnight, and now the situation is becoming more and more tense, perhaps only one local friction is needed to ignite the overall situation and prepare early." ”

"Yes."

"The undead are the biggest variable in this world, pay more attention to them."

"I see."

"Okay, I'll go first."

Su Xia didn't talk too much nonsense, it was not good to talk too much.

Everyone's path is slowly figured out by themselves, and if the older generation talks too much, it may affect him.

Ding Can is also a smart person, and he didn't continue to dwell on the issue of money, but just watched Su Xia leave.

"Grow up early, the world needs you."

After speaking, Su Xia greeted the sun, went all the way south, and slowly disappeared from Ding Can's sight.

He is not fast, click on the quest [Buried in a Strange Land], and check the details of the map as he walks.

The third mission objective, "Suki", is in a strange location.

In the southern part of the city, there are few residential areas, and most of them are seafood processing factories.

Fresh seafood or dried goods from coastal cities in the south are either processed here for the first or second time, while others are packaged directly and then sent to the rest of the mainland, especially those deep inland.

At first, Susha felt that the third target might be ordinary workers.

But soon, he realized that something was wrong.

When he zoomed in on the map, the target was not a factory, but a landfill.

"Working in a landfill?" Su Xia stared at the map and thought subconsciously.

He stopped, hailed a car, and headed to where his target was.

In less than half an hour, the target area was approaching.

As soon as the car pulled into the area, a foul smell came over the face, indescribable, like the mixed rotten smell of a summer garbage can, and it smelled disgusting.

[Quest Hint: You have arrived at the Buried Bones]

A prompt pops up for the task.

Su Xia frowned, looked at the words "place where bones are buried" in the prompt, turned his head to look at the environment outside the window, and felt a little vigilant in his heart.

Outside, the grass was overgrown, and the yellow weeds were half a man's height, and beyond was the low hills of the Mohu Lake.

It is clear that he has not yet arrived at the outskirts of the city, but he looks desolate and desolate, and he has not seen people for a long time.

At this time, the driver suddenly slowed down, looked at the rearview mirror in the car, and said to Su Xia: "Young man, you can only get here, and you can't get inside." ”

Su Xia asked, "Why?" Is the front closed to traffic? ”

"That's right, this land was bought by a private person, and someone is going to chase you out before that, those people are very unreasonable, do you have a pass, young man?"

"Nope."

"Then I really can't get in."

"If you're tired, let's stop here."

Su Xia didn't embarrass the driver, and after giving the car money, he opened the door and got out of the car.

The driver asked him if he needed to wait here, and after receiving a negative answer, he turned around and drove away.

Su Xia stood on the side of the road and watched the car disappear from view.

He then borrowed all of his psionic energy from the Lord's body, and his expression was focused, using all of his metal sensing abilities.

With this sense, the whole world became different, and in a distant area in front of him, he sensed the presence of a large amount of metal.

Hundreds of sensing points, like fireflies, glow slightly in the world he perceives.

"There's weirdness."

In a normal landfill, there are not so many metal inductions.

Seahorse City has legislation that prohibits the filling of waste appliances, second-hand appliances, etc. into any garbage dump because their leachate may seep into the ground and pose a threat to public health.

Su Xia walked into the grass, and with the help of the concealment of the wild grass, let the nanobots cover the whole body to achieve environmental invisibility.

Subsequently, he soared into the sky and flew to the area of the landfill.

The closer you get, the stronger that feeling becomes.

Su Xia clearly sensed that the hundreds of metal dots were clearly rectangular alloy boxes, like coffins made of metal.

"No wonder the quest prompt is called 'Burial of Bones', is this a special corpse landfill?"

Soon, Susha flew over the landfill.

He looked down and blinked.

"That's ......"

Su Xia was shocked, and with the help of life perception glasses, he clearly saw that there were living creatures in the thousands of metal coffins buried deep underground!

Moreover, there is not just one, at least hundreds of them are still alive.

The last mission target he was looking for was in one of the coffins!
