Chapter 348: The Most Needed Thing
At half past six in the afternoon, it was dark.
In the south of the city, near the suburbs, in an abandoned house.
Su Xia cooked a simple pot of porridge with green vegetables and lean pork, boiled slowly over low heat, stirred slowly, and the fragrance was fragrant.
No matter how good the medicine is, it can't match the comfort that a bowl of hot porridge brings to the body.
The warmth brought by the flickering firelight also made this dilapidated small house less cold, a little more earthly breath, and expelled the cold of hell.
"Gurgling ......"
The porridge was tumbling in the pot, bubbling, and bursts of fragrant white mist rose.
Su Xia made a spoonful in the pot with a spoon and tasted it, and felt that it tasted good and was good at craftsmanship.
Then he took out the small bowl, made one for Suki, and said to her, "Taste it." โ
"Thank you."
Suki sat by the fire, wrapped in a thick plush blanket, and could still see clear tear stains on her face, but her face was more ruddy, not as pale as before.
The flickering light of the fire reflected in her eyes, driving away the hollowness in her eyes.
The child in her belly was about eight months old, and it was more noticeable when she was sitting than when she was lying down, and her belly was bulging.
This child, like Li Qian's daughter, can be regarded as a posthumous child.
Unlike the rest of the family members of the Old North Wind Organization, Suki knew more about what her husband Zeng Gong had done, and knew what her husband's disappearance meant.
She was strong, silently endured the grief and pain of her husband's death, and planned to give birth to this child.
But before the child was born, she was in danger.
Su Xia sat across from her and asked patiently, "Tell me what happened." โ
"Good ......"
Suki replied softly, her voice a little hoarse.
She held the hot porridge in her hand and quietly looked at the flickering fire in front of her, a little distracted, as if she had fallen into some kind of memory.
Half a minute later, she spoke, "That was half a month ago. โ
She had already learned the time from Susha.
Then, she slowly recounted the circumstances of her abduction.
At that time, she was working in a processing factory in the south of the city, doing simple packaging work, earning enough money for her own use.
But when the factory owner saw that she was seven or eight months pregnant, he did not dare to let her continue to work in the crowded and noisy factory, and feared that something would happen, so he asked her to go back to rest and promised that she would be given a minimum wage in the next few months.
But she felt that she could still do things, and after being persuaded by her boss to go home, she planned to find a simple part-time job to earn more money to support the family.
After all, children are gold-swallowing beasts, and the money they need in the future will definitely not be less, and they can earn a little more.
Later, she saw a more suitable job on the job advertisement on the street, so she called the phone number on the advertisement.
"What kind of work?" Susha asked.
"Guarding the cemetery, free time, and the right price." Suki replied softly.
"Fake, this kind of work is done by many people, and there is no need to post advertisements." Su Xia made a judgment directly.
There are similar advertisements on the other side of the earth, all of which are low-demand and high-paying, and those with a little experience can see that something is wrong.
That kind of recruitment advertisement is basically to defraud hundreds of dollars of "deposit", "physical examination fee" and the like, and many young people who have just come out of society have been deceived.
This kind of advertising is especially common in many new first- or second-tier cities that do not have pillar industries.
And this world is more dangerous than the other side of the earth, and it is good to cheat money.
If you don't pay attention, you may put your life in it.
In that phone call, the other party asked about Su Qi's specific situation, and learned that Su Qi was already pregnant, so he gave her an address and asked her to register there.
But when Suki arrived at the place the other party said, she found that there was only a dilapidated factory area.
The factory has long been deserted, and there is no cemetery around.
And what was waiting for her was only a van and a few kidnappers dressed in black.
"They had guns in their hands and threatened me to get into the car." Suki whispered about the situation, "When I went up, they blindfolded me. โ
Perhaps in order to ensure the health of the fetus in her womb, the other party did not use any drugs or anything like that on her, but simply blocked her perception.
Then, the van drove off, carrying her somewhere else.
Suki didn't know how long she had been in the car, she felt like it should have been more than an hour.
When the vehicle stopped, the men took her out of the car and removed the strip of cloth that blindfolded her.
She found herself in a windowless space, surrounded by a dull gray color, with a pungent smell of potions wafting through the air.
"What smell?" Susha asked.
"I don't know, I don't really understand." Suki shook her head slightly.
"Is it alcohol?"
"No, I've smelled alcohol, it's not the same as that place."
"Where's this?"
Su Xia took out a small bottle of coalphenol soap solution, sprayed it far away, and asked if it was the smell.
But Suki still couldn't tell the difference, and it didn't feel like it.
She is just an ordinary person, not a researcher who has been working in a laboratory or biofactory for a long time, and is not sensitive to the smell of various potions and solutions.
In this regard, Su Xia didn't have much to do, and he couldn't let this pregnant woman try the breath of various chemicals one by one.
He just wanted to determine the location of that place, there should be another way.
"And after that? What are the characteristics of that place? Susha asked.
"There was blood on the ground, and someone was dragging it with a mop......"
Suki is a very strong woman, and when she recounted the experience at that time, a trace of pain flashed in her eyes, but she still endured the discomfort and continued to tell.
The place was dark, and in addition to that peculiar pungent smell, the smell of blood in the air was also strong, and there was a disgusting rancid smell.
Rusty old chandeliers hung from the top, dimly lit and unable to illuminate all the space.
Just where it is illuminated, you can see a lot of blood.
There were also a large number of individual cages on both sides, and the surface of those metal cages was full of black-brown marks, I don't know if it was rust or blood, and it looked dirty.
From the darkness deep ahead, there were countless screams, many of them of children and women, as if countless souls were struggling and wailing.
Walking in it is like going deep into hell step by step.
"Later, they took me to a separate room where someone looked like a doctor and examined me and the baby in my belly."
The results of the examination were very good, and she and the baby in her belly were quite healthy.
Suki could see a satisfied look on the doctor's face, and beckoned to the men in black to take her to a deeper place.
There seemed to be no end to that dark and oppressive space, and the further you went, the more screams and wails could be heard.
The voices echoed in my ears and were terrifying.
"Do you remember what the doctor looked like?" Susha asked her.
"I don't remember, he looks very ordinary."
The pain and despair of more than half a month went deep into the soul, and Su Qi couldn't remember too many things.
All she remembered was that as she went deeper, someone gradually came out of the depths of that dark space.
The men were also dressed in black and wore black masks, and most of them were pushing carts carrying corpses, each of which had corpses covered with white cloths.
Many of the white cloths were stained red with the blood on the corpses, and some of the corpses had uneven bellies and seemed to be as pregnant as she was.
She could even see the blood dripping in the corners of the white cloth, drop after drop, ticking all the way, from warm to cold.
At that time, great fear surrounded her.
Not long after, she was escorted to another dark room.
The room was depressing, like an interrogation room, dimly lit, with only a huge mirror, and I don't know what it does.
"That's a one-way lenscrew." Susha said to her, "The people on the other side of the mirror can observe you, but you don't know that those people are watching you. โ
"I guessed it."
At that time, Suki was like a guinea pig, terrified in the room, and could only let the person on the other side of the mirror observe and discuss.
And her fate is in the thoughts of those people.
It wasn't long before the door opened, and several men in black walked in and led her out.
"After that, they put me in that coffin......
Then the rest of the matter has something to do with the landfill.
In a separate room, Suki's body was immobilized, and several men in white lab coats began to bury various needles and tubes in her body.
The process was desperate, and she could only watch herself a little bit as she was locked in a cold iron coffin.
And, through the communication of those people, she learned that she would be buried deep underground.
If the child is born normally, she may leave the earth alive.
"In fact, those words should have been deliberately said to you, just to make your fears desperate and then fuel your desire to survive." Susha said.
"Why?" Suki didn't understand.
"For this."
Su Xia took out a small silver-gray oval metal can.
The jar, which had been in the corner of the barn, was connected to the last hose that connected the umbilical cord.
The liquid contained in it was believed by those to extract a substance called "vivitan".
Those people feel that the mother's umbilical cord will give small amounts of this substance to the fetus during the fetus's growth.
However, if the mother's desire to survive can be activated through fear and despair, the mother can produce a large amount of this substance in a very short period of time in order to continue life.
When Su Xia said what those people thought, Su Qi still didn't understand.
"This ...... Is this true? โ
Fear and despair, these two emotions are real.
The cold metal coffin was not completely isolated from the outside world.
As Suki lay there, she could clearly feel that a lot of things had been dumped on top of the coffin, and there was a rumbling machine running over it, and the whole coffin shook with it, and she was buried deeper and deeper.
The feeling of suffocation from being buried alive made her extremely painful.
"I don't know, most of that kind of substance doesn't exist, and the things in this jar may only have the effect of psychological comfort." Su Xia was still young and couldn't understand those people's obsession with longevity.
But he felt that even if he entered the age of old age and decrepitude, he would not use such extreme measures.
"You're lucky to be tortured by a milder method they have chosen." Susha said.
"Buried deep underground...... Is it mild? โ
Su Qi took a deep breath, how could such suffering be said to be mild?
Su Xia explained, "If I'm not mistaken, those blood-stained corpses you see there covered with a white cloth may have been tortured by cruel means, anyway, as long as the fear is activated. โ
Physical pain can also produce fear as much as psychological torture.
Su Xia had no doubt that for the sake of the so-called viviparin, those people could use any means.
"So, a lot of people like me are missing?" Suki thought of the key point.
"Yes."
Su Xia nodded and said, "Not only pregnant women, but also children and teenagers in the growth period are all target objects, and the vigorous vitality in them is what those people crave." โ
He felt thousands of metal coffins at the bottom of the landfill, but that was only one of the many ways they tortured them.
As you can imagine, there are countless others who are being tortured by other means.
The entire Seahorse City has a population of only a few hundred thousand, where can it withstand this kind of toss? Even if there is a constant influx of refugees, the large number of disappearances will certainly cause some concern.
Even in Coral City, there have been reports of disappearances from underground estates.
In this world, there are always some people who do not seek money and fame, even if they face death threats, they have to pursue a complete truth for ordinary people.
"It's easy to bury one thing, but it's hard to bury a thousand." Susha said.
"Is there anyone else alive in that landfill?" Suki held the hot porridge with a worried look on her face.
"Yes, there are many more." Su Xia replied truthfully, "It's all the same as you, buried very shallowly, buried below like seeds, waiting for the day of harvest." โ
"Then we ......"
"No, I can't save it now, it's easy to startle the snake."
Just saving someone from a landfill would be easy for Susha.
But what about the other missing people?
The other party is hidden in the deep darkness, like a poisonous snake that is quietly dormant, and now he doesn't even know who is behind it.
If there is a chance, Su Xia wants to rescue more, but there is really no chance to save the landfill again.
"The materials of those metal coffins are not expensive, the price of building them is relatively low, and the other party doesn't seem to care about the value of a coffin at all, and only takes the living substances they want at a time, and then disposes the coffin and the creatures inside in the garbage dump, and ...... What awaits those creatures in the coffin is a second deep burial, and a real burial alive. โ
If we can find a factory to make this coffin, will we be able to find a breakthrough?
Su Xia thought for a moment, then shook his head, denying this thought.
Seahorse City is very large, and the factory on the other side must be very hidden, so it can only slowly start to check the source of material supply.
If he was given enough time, he should have been able to find it, but now he was running out of time.
"Time ......"
Su Xia glanced at the sky outside, he could do this task, but the time and place of coming were too unfortunate, even if it was a different city.
At this moment, a prompt pops up in the task.
ใDeep Hellใ
[Tip 1: For a better tomorrow, someone died in the depths of the cold night]
[Two years ago, a talented singer in Seahorse City was born, and an album swept the major charts, but just when everyone thought that his star would continue to shine, he was suddenly found guilty in the basement of his home]
[Maybe you should go to the singer's house and have a look]
[Note: Mission map has been updated]
[Note: The task reward has been updated and can be withdrawn after completing the task]
On the mission map, another small red dot appeared, which was probably the singer's home.
Quest rewards also appeared.
Su Xia clicked to view, there are only two rewards in total.
The first reward is the [New Psionic Filter], which looks a bit like the previous [Alienation Filter], which should also be able to purify psionic energy.
That [Alienation Filter] is very unstable, it is a three-no product, and the last time I purified the gland of the bug, it broke down once when I first used it.
Later, Suxia had to restart it, because the manual said "Rebooting can solve 99% of the problems".
"I hope this reward can be more stable, at least not a three-no product."
Thinking so, Su Xia clicked on the second reward, and when he saw his name, his heart trembled, and he almost stood up.
This reward is what he needs most right now!
