Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 271 Unexpected Discovery

The whole world is quiet, as if creating a quiet enough breakthrough atmosphere for Su Xia.

On the street, two rows of mechanical warriors stood quietly in the rain, their eyes gleaming blue, fully armed, motionless, like metal sculptures in the blurred rain.

Small, multi-legged mechanical creatures resembling spiders came from all directions, and quietly climbed up to the roofs on the left and right sides of this old building along the wall gaps, water pipes, and external wall lines.

In the sky, more than a dozen pterosaur-like silver-white metal creatures spread their wings and hovered. Their sharp wings cut through the rain curtain, and their rotating mechanical eyes had a panoramic view of the main block.

In the underground world, countless worm-like mechanical monsters are already waiting quietly in various channels.

Outside this block, in the more peripheral area, three to five interception points were set up on each street, and thick and huge mechanical monsters blocked intersections, street corners and other locations.

The rain and mist are hazy, and from a distance, the blurred figures of these monsters seem to come from a horrible different world.

With the pharmacy as the center, a vast network has been formed.

"My God, what happened?"

People were terrified. Pedestrians on the street even left their umbrellas behind and hurried home against the heavy rain, closing their doors and refusing to go out.

Even the homeless people hiding from the rain on the street corners were terrified. They huddled in the corners, covering their bodies with newspapers and paper shells, for fear that these sudden mechanical creatures would attack them.

On the roofs of the surrounding buildings, at intervals, there were human soldiers from the city defense department carrying stand devices and waiting for orders.

Mechanoids are also psionic creatures and are affected by stance devices.

These devices will not be turned on unless necessary, and are only used as a deterrent.

In the headquarters of Anluo Company, countless employees are working overtime to develop the "anti-stance device". Now it has basically taken shape, but it has not yet been miniaturized and is very unfriendly to users.

The requirement of the mechanical clan is that the anti-stance device must be specific to each individual mechanical creature - when fighting, the mechanical creature carries the anti-stance device, which can move freely in the position without being affected, exerting the power of psionic energy, while the enemy It will be weakened into a normal creature.

"Master Yu Tuo, why don't you do anything?"

"Wait, Lord City Master has his own considerations. I heard that it is an internal matter of the machine clan. It has nothing to do with us. Just look at it from a distance."

The human officials of the city defense department stood on the tall buildings in the distance, all frowning and worried.

In these cruel times, ignorance is a blessing.

These officials know too much and think too much. It is good that the machine race does not act on weekdays. They can dominate ordinary people, but once the machine race takes action, the situation will be different.

As long as the machine race is willing, they can replace the current high-level human puppet government at any time, and support a group of new people to come to power.

"Let's just follow the adults' instructions and don't ask anything."

They all had such plans and waited in torment for the end of the heavy rain.

No one knows what Yu Tuo is waiting for.

No one knows who the prey in this sky net is.

Some people speculated that it was a strange masked man who had disappeared for many days, while others thought it was a senior member of a rebel organization. There were different opinions and different opinions.

On the old street at this time, the rainwater merged into a shallow stream, flowing by the feet of many mechanical soldiers.

Yu Tuo still stood outside the window, his tall mechanical body was like a high wall. Although he didn't say a word, he felt full of oppression.

In the shop, Hong Bafu had already noticed the current situation.

Like Lan Bafu, he didn't dare to say anything, but a lot of cold sweat was already breaking out on his forehead. Countless reasons for Yu Tuo to lead troops to surround the pharmacy flashed through his mind, and finally settled on a seemingly reasonable but difficult for him. It's possible to believe it—did Dad do something big outside?

The air in the pharmacy was terribly quiet, even the sound of the medicine reaction in Su Xia's test tube was so harsh.

"呲呲..."

In the transparent test tube, the cloudy blue solution was tumbling, and viscous bubbles appeared one after another.

After each bubble burst, a wisp of light blue smoke would appear, drifting out from the test tube, and finally dissipating into nothing.

If there are ordinary people around here, just one breath will cause dizziness and hallucinations, and it will take a long time to wake up.

Su Xia looked focused, quietly waiting for the reaction to complete, and then proceeded to the next step.

In his mind, the feeling of swelling that was about to explode is slowly subsiding, and the ocean of knowledge has calmed down and gradually settled, leaving it for him to slowly absorb in the future.

The distance from success is getting closer and closer, and almost every step is perfect.

He didn't feel anything himself, everything just went with the flow.

On the contrary, Lan Bafu and Hong Bafu, who had been watching all the time, sweated for him, with a strong sense of substitution, as if they were making the blue of the other side.

You must know that even for the two of them, the success rate of creating the blue of the other side is not high, and the success or failure is basically [-]-[-].

The second hand of the old clock on the wall beats one frame at a time, and the sound is crisp and pleasant.

I don't know how long has passed.

Finally, Su Xia completed the last step.

"Snapped!"

He put down the pliers in his hand and picked up the final result.

It was a transparent glass container. The solution in the container was dark blue, and a little star-like silvery white floated in it. When it was shaken gently, the silvery white particles were like sand particles flowing with the solution, dreamlike, like a summer night Galaxy.

Become!

Su Xia exhaled slowly and withdrew from that state of concentration.

From this moment on, he became a real fourth-rank pharmacist, walking to the front of this road. Even if he puts down his weapons from then on, he can live an unimaginably affluent life with only medicine.

"Not bad!"

Outside the window, Yu Tuo's appreciative voice came.

The many mechanical creatures around were a little surprised, because they rarely saw Yu Tuo praising others, which represented a very high honor.

In the intelligence department, Wu Zhonggui was praised not long ago, and now he will brag about it at every gathering.

Su Xia knew that Yu Tuo was coming, and now his perception is quite sharp, but he just pretended not to see it.

He put down the glass container in his hand and faced out the window with a respectful expression: "My lord, it's raining heavily outside, come in and take shelter from the rain."

"Well, that's exactly what I mean."

The outer shells of the fighters of the mechanical clan are basically made of titanium alloy, even if they are exposed to rain all day long, they will not rust. This little rain is nothing.

A distinguished mechanical creature like Yu Tuo is almost entirely made of titanium alloy. Only some special parts have more complex requirements, and the characteristics of titanium alloy cannot be satisfied, so other alloys need to be used instead.

Yu Tuo walked into the pharmacy, his tall body was like a giant, the top of his head almost touched the ceiling of the first floor of the shop.

He dispatched the main body with the strongest combat effectiveness, which shows that he attaches great importance to this matter.

If it's an insignificant matter, just use the ordinary clone robot with a height of two meters to run around.

"crunch..."

Because the body was too heavy, the wooden floor on the ground cracked and sank, unable to bear the weight of the all-metal machinery.

Seeing this scene, Yu Tuo was thoughtful, and whispered: "Some parts may be replaced with lighter materials to reduce energy loss, but it also needs to meet the needs of the original design..."

Both Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu were very nervous, they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't know what Yu Tuo meant by talking to himself.

Su Xia understood.

Recently, Yu Tuo has been obsessed with designing avatars, busy all day designing various drawings, modeling, material analysis, energy control and so on.

Maybe it was because the masked man put too much pressure on him, or maybe he wanted to change his current body because he wanted to be stronger and more perfect.

"Show me the potion." Yu Tuo said suddenly.

"Ok."

Su Xia moved quickly, picked up the glass container beside her, and handed it to Yu Tuo respectfully.

Yu Tuo pinched the container bottle with two mechanical fingers, shook it lightly, nodded slightly, and said, "Is it a hallucinogenic potion?"

"Yes."

"Very good. When I first met you, you were still a young apprentice, but now you can be called a master."

"Your Majesty is overrated." Su Xia acted very modestly, "The teacher said that a true master will always have the heart of an apprentice."

"That's not true."

Yu Tuo put down the medicine, his eyes flickered, and he looked around the whole pharmacy.

With a flat voice, he continued: "This time, I am here for your teacher's business."

"My lord, teacher, did something happen to him?" Su Xia looked surprised, with a bit of worry in her voice, "Last night he went out for a walk after dinner, and he never came back."

"He said he was going for a walk?"

"Yes."

"I haven't been back for so long, have you ever thought of contacting him?"

"I tried this morning, but the teacher left his cell phone in his room." Su Xia said worriedly, "I can't contact him at all now. If the teacher hasn't come back tonight, I'm going to find someone in the city." Sheriff to help."

"Has there ever been a long-term absence in the past?" Yu Tuo asked.

"some."

Su Xia answered honestly: "The teacher has many pharmacist friends, many of whom work in small towns in the surrounding suburbs. During holidays, the teacher will contact them and occasionally visit them."

"Last time, the pharmacist in Luoxing Town was a friend of Teacher Ni?"

"Yes."

Luoxing Town, that is, the place where the masked man first appeared.

At that time, Su Xia was just getting started, and his father asked him, Hongbafu and Lanbafu to go to Luoxing Town to deliver medicine.

However, when the three of them arrived at Luoxing Town, the whole town had been engulfed in flames, and those extremely vicious mercenaries plundered the whole town, turning it into a purgatory on earth.

That was the first time Su Xia used the ability to control metal.

He used countless blood-stained metal fragments to form a mask, and wore it on his face to cover his true face, and since then opened a different path of resistance.

"All three of you come here."

Yu Tuo ordered calmly, and took out a silver-white metal bracelet with a dark screen on it.

Lan Bafu and Hong Bafu did not dare to resist, and immediately came to Yu Tuo.

Looking at the current situation, today's accident must have something to do with my father. The two of them are apprentices who can't help. They just want to save their lives first.

"Put on this bracelet." Yu Tuo ordered again, his tone unquestionable.

"Yes."

Su Xia knew what this bracelet was for. He had seen it in the underground laboratory, and it was also in the memory of the former Commander Beifeng.

This is a test of psionic strength, and the test is very accurate.

It is said that no matter what method is used to conceal it, this machine cannot be fooled, and the real strength will be tested.

Fortunately, Su Xia's body can't grow normally at all, and can only share spiritual energy with the main body, and borrow as much as she wants from the main body.

He thought it was inconvenient before, but now it seems to be a good thing.

He borrowed part of his psychic energy, kept it fluctuating around level 1.5-1.6, put on the bracelet, and waited quietly for the result.

Not long after, a cold voice came from the mechanical bracelet.

"Level 1.5 spiritual power, the threat level is not high."

At the same time, the small screen on the bracelet also shows the corresponding digital display.

Immediately afterwards, the two brothers, Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, also measured their psychic strength, and they were 2.0 and 1.8 respectively. They are strong for ordinary people, but they are not enough for Yu Tuo.

In this way, it is impossible for the three of them to be the masked man, but they still cannot escape the suspicion of helping the old man.

"Be quiet these two days, you will be interrogated by different people." Yu Tuo put away the bracelet and ordered lightly, "The business of the pharmacy has stopped first, and this place will be searched again. If everything is OK, we need to install monitoring , do you have any objections?"

"No... no."

Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu could only shake their heads, how dare they have any objections.

Yu Tuo was polite to them.

They also knew that Su Xia was more or less favored today, after all, Yu Tuo had always valued Su Xia more.

If he were an apprentice in another pharmacy, what he would have to face today might be the top VIP package of breaking the door, arresting people, extorting a confession by torture, beating him into a trick, and asking him to kill him.

The machine race can't reason with humans at all. In their eyes, ordinary humans are no different from domesticated livestock, and they can kill them if they want.

Soon, the mechanical creatures in charge of the search entered the shop one by one, some stayed on the first floor, some went to the second floor, and many entered the basement.

They monitored very meticulously, not even letting go of the cracks in the corner bricks.

Each area is scanned and inspected several times in succession by different mechanical creatures.

As the key holder of each area of ​​the pharmacy, Su Xia has been following these mechanical creatures, unlocking every room, cabinet, and drawer for them.

A few mechanical creatures are very experienced, and it's not the first time they've done this kind of thing: "Be careful, don't break open the closed area by force, there may be a self-destruct program left by the other party inside, try to use the key."

There are the most closed areas in the basement, and Su Xia followed them to open them one by one, and what they found were basically medicines or medicine materials.

On the second basement floor, there are various ores, wood, regular collections and so on.

In addition to these, there are many strange things, and there is even a corpse of a suspected alien sealed in a box.

When Su Xia came down for the first time, she was curious about the alien corpse, but she never had a chance to open it.

Now I finally have the key.

Under the urging of the mechanical creature, he took out the key and slowly opened the box.

"Crack-"

Suddenly, a thick black smoke gushed out from the gap, making Su Xia frowned, and immediately stepped back several steps.

Those mechanical creatures didn't need to breathe, they still stood where they were, observing the contents of the box.

When the black smoke dissipated, what appeared in front of their eyes was a half shriveled and black corpse, resembling a human shape, but with wings growing from the back, a big head and a small body, long arms, and sharp curved nails. Race.

But a series of reminders appeared before Su Xia's eyes:
[Zerg corpses from the starry sky: after being devoured by your clone, you may get a different power]

The clone mentioned here is naturally the monster clone that is working hard to manage the two worm nests.

Su Xia's heart moved, she didn't say anything, she just watched those robots move quietly.

Yu Tuo has ordered that if it has nothing to do with the old man, these mechanical creatures cannot be taken away and must be kept in the pharmacy.

"It looks like a hybrid monster." A more experienced mechanical creature said, "Half-human, half-worm, it's already dead, and it's a failure."

"Well, it's similar to the failed hybrids created by those private research institutes." Another mechanical creature said the same.

"The roads of the human race and the Zerg race are both wrong, and our evolutionary path is considered perfect. I really don't understand why Master Moser is trying so hard to study these two races. We already know their weaknesses well..."

A group of mechanical creatures observed casually for a while, and soon lost interest in the corpse, and continued to ask Su Xia to open other boxes.

This process is similar to opening a treasure chest.

You never know what surprises will be in the next box.

The lights on the second basement floor were dim. Su Xia used the light to search for the corresponding key. When she opened the No. 17 box, she finally saw something that caught the eyes of all the mechanical creatures.

"This...this is..."

Inside the box, lay a piece of irregular curved metal material, with pits and holes on the outside, which looked like it once belonged to a certain mechanical whole.

"It's that metal!"

"The material on the surface of that spaceship?"

"That's right, that old guy is really lucky." A mechanical creature with stronger strength immediately closed the box, "Immediately report to Mr. Yu Tuo, this box must be taken back."

"I suddenly became a little interested. It seems that there are not all useless things here. Continue to open the box!"

They were not in a hurry, perhaps because the machine race's perception of time was different from that of humans, and they were patiently waiting for Susha to find the key corresponding to the box.

At this time, news came from the mechanical creature responsible for searching the rest of the second basement floor.

"There is still a closed entrance in this corner, and there is a third floor under our feet!"

After receiving this news, the mechanical creatures who were opening the treasure chest here stopped.

Something that surprised them already appeared on the second basement floor, what will happen on the third basement floor?
The leading mechanical creature interrogated Su Xia: "What's down there?"

Su Xia shook her head: "I don't know either."

"really do not know?"

"Yes."

"Is there a key?"

"Have."

"Then what are you waiting for, go and have a look!"

A group of mechanical creatures pushed Su Sha, and took him to the dark corner found at the entrance.

In fact, Su Xia was also curious.

In the past, in the entire pharmacy, only Dad had the right to go to the third basement floor, and Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu, who started early, didn't know the situation below.

Not to mention Su Xia, he has only been a beginner for a short time, and he has never seen his father open the last layer.

So what's the secret behind it?
