Become a legend in the interstellar

Chapter 355 The Escape Journey
Death is the best silence.

Living people can speak, but corpses cannot.

However, some things were not buried with Wu Hong's body.

What appeared before Su Xia at this time was all the information he exchanged for with his life.

"Whoa..."

Su Xia gently flipped through a few pages, kept silent, watched quietly, and kept all the information on the document in her heart.

On the side, Ding Can was also flipping through the pages, looking very carefully.

Wu Hong's parents didn't bother them, the room was so quiet that only the noise of mechanical fans was left.

During the browsing process, Su Xia discovered that this incident can be traced back to a very long time ago, and the timeline is quite long.

It's been around for centuries.

In the era when science was just emerging, some people were already conducting similar experiments.

The most common way is to remove internal organs belonging to young people and then replace them with old people. Later, there are bone replacements, blood replacements, spinal cord replacements, and so on.

Moreover, Wu Hong was not alone in investigating this matter.

That's when someone was investigating.

However, in the era of steam and brass pipes, people's eyes were blinded by the billowing smoke of industry, the whole world was moving slowly on dark gears, and information dissemination technology was not as mature as it is now.

Therefore, some people who know the truth write what they know into novels, most of which are detective or suspense novels, and use novels to reflect reality, hoping that their readers will be aware of it.

Some of those novels have been handed down to the present, and are still talked about until now.

And the main messengers hiding behind the scenes also sensed something was wrong, and began to release some true and false messages.

[How to deny one thing? 】

In the materials, Wu Hong raised this question.

On the next line, there is his answer.

[Deliberately make this matter a conspiracy theory, release a lot of fake news to make this matter a joke, and make ordinary people think that people who believe this matter are crazy]

Yes, the best way to hide the truth is to turn it into a joke.

Telling the truth in jest does not arouse suspicion.

There is a very classic example in Wu Hong's profile - more than ten years ago, an elderly wealthy businessman was invited to be on the show. When the host asked him how to stay young, the wealthy businessman smiled and said, "Of course it is like what is said on the Internet. Absorbing the lives of young people, as I said, made the audience laugh out loud, because they all thought it was a joke.

After the birth of the Internet in this world, similar news often circulated on the Internet.

But everyone who saw it felt that such news was a joke, and there was no such thing at all.

Ordinary people don't care about it at all, and rarely talk about it, even Su Xia has never heard of it before.

[If there is no such thing, where do so many people who disappear every year go? 】

Wu Hong wrote such words in the materials, as if he was questioning himself.

He has done investigations, and the number of disappearances every year does not match the number of underground network trafficking at all.

Less than one-tenth of the children, young people, women, etc. sold in the underground world are missing every year, and the other nine-tenths seem to have disappeared from the world.

"Damn it, there are people doing this kind of business in Haima City!" When Ding Can saw this, he felt angry and clenched his fists.

Haima City is his and his father's territory, and his father took great pains to manage this city, making it a rare prosperity.

You know, this city is a rare model city that has been praised by the machine race.

In the past few years of Ding Can's activities, he thought that he had already investigated the affairs of those gangsters in the city. He even knew the number, leader, and scope of activities of each street gang.

But what he didn't expect was that there were so many transactions out of his sight.

"I don't have enough strength right now." Ding Can whispered to himself, "Next time I go home, tell that bastard, if he..."

As he said that, Ding Can's heart tightened suddenly, and his expression changed a little.

Judging from his father's control over the city, it's impossible not to know these things.

In other words, his father acquiesced in those transactions.

"Governing a city is not that simple, there are too many things to compromise." Su Xia suddenly said, "So you can't sit in that position now, your father knows it, and many people in this city know it too, you are too young."

"But I don't want to compromise!" Ding Can clenched his fists and said.

"it is good!"

Su Xia looked relieved, nodded slightly, and didn't say much.

The old couple also looked at Ding Can with complicated eyes, which seemed to be joyful and somewhat worried.

Time passed quickly, and before Su Xia finished reading the materials, it was almost midnight.

The more I read, the more I can understand what Wu Hong's friends from the machine race said - what he is doing doesn't make much sense at all.

There are not many people who know the truth, but how many are willing to speak out?

At this moment, Wu Hong's father suddenly looked at a certain monitor and said in a low voice, "Someone is here."

"Ok?"

Su Xia put down the documents in her hand, turned her head, and looked at the monitor screen.

People did come.

It's just that the other party went to the bait room and didn't know it existed.

It can be seen that outside the 102 bait room, there are two black vans parked, and six or seven men dressed in black got out of the van.

The other party didn't know where Su Xia and the others had gone, but guessed that they might come to the reporter's parents, so they came to check.

But to their disappointment, there was no one in this room at all.

"Dong dong dong..."

Someone stood at the door knocking.

At the same time, there were people hiding on both sides of the door, fully armed and focused.

There are also people who hold life perception instruments and explore around the house.

Soon, the man shook his head and gestured to them to evacuate—there was no one here.

One of them seemed to be the leader. After seeing the gesture, he nodded in agreement and waved to the rest.

They're going to look elsewhere.

"It's these people!" Wu Hong's father looked at the monitor and said to Su Xia.

"Yes, with the same sign."

Through the monitor, Su Xia saw that there was an eye-like mark on the clothes of those people.

Obviously, these people are all from the "Left Eye Security Group", the same company as the security guards at the previous landfills.

On the side, Ding Can said: "My lord, why don't I find a new car, the previous car has already left an impression on them."

Su Xia nodded: "Okay, the protection ability cannot be weaker than that of the previous car."

"Don't worry, I know."

Ding Can's work was reassuring, and he quickly sent a message to his subordinates, asking them to prepare a new car.

At this time, on the monitor, those people had already returned to the car and drove in another direction.

Looking at the surveillance footage, Wu Hong's parents had hatred in their eyes. It was those people who caused the car accident, killed their son, and even killed their daughter-in-law.

If it weren't for the fact that the whole family's successive deaths were too strange and easy to attract attention, the two of them probably wouldn't be able to escape.

"These scumbags without conscience, don't they have any conscience at all?" Wu Hong's father's voice trembled, both hatred and sadness.

More, maybe just helpless.

They had also read the materials left by Wu Hong a long time ago, and knew that the two of them alone could not do much, but they still insisted on collecting more materials and information silently.

Su Xia said in a low voice: "Mr. Wu, you are right, that person probably has no conscience."

"How could it be?" Wu Hong's father didn't understand. As long as he grew up in a normal environment and saw those sufferings, no matter what, he would have some empathy, right?

"They could be clones."

"what?"

"I'm just guessing."

In that landfill, Su Xia had such a guess when she saw the descriptions of those security guards.

The personal descriptions of those security guards are too simple, only a short line.

Not even the most basic information such as "name".

In the past, Su Xia could see a lot of descriptions and personal information even for homeless people on the side of the road.

therefore……

Su Xia guessed that those people might not have names at all, only code names.

They don't have real parents, they are manufactured like assembly-line products in a reproductive factory, and they don't have any contact with the outside world when they are young. They have been indoctrinated with the knowledge given to them by the group since they were young, and they have become emotionless and only know how to obey orders. flesh and blood machine.

Those people's worldview cannot be integrated with the outside world at all, so naturally they will not have any empathy.

Of course, this is just Su Xia's guess.

No one can be sure of the specific situation until they see the truth.

"If that's the case, could they have a clone army?" Ding Can suddenly thought of this question.

"No." Su Xia shook her head.

"why?"

"The Machina will not allow an army of clones to exist."

"That's right..."

Discussion on this topic is temporarily suspended.

The two continued to read the previous materials, trying to find the next breakthrough.

In the document, Wu Hong wrote his speculation about the death of singer An Shen.

He felt that An Shen just didn't want to be tied to a community of interests by those people and wanted to expose this matter, so he was killed.

Through investigations, he found that Anshen was not the only star who died unexpectedly in recent years. Many celebrities died inexplicably, and most of them were found to be suicides.

Some were forgotten not long after they died, as if there was a hand secretly erasing his influence in all directions.

There are also those whose influence is too great to be eliminated, so they are splashed with all kinds of dirty water, and they will be slandered when they die, such as "has a special obsession".

After all, the dead cannot speak and cannot refute.

All kinds of slanderous news are flying all over the sky, and some people will always believe it.

If someone speaks up for the dead, they are equally blamed, and it doesn't take long for someone to expose them, leaving them overwhelmed and their reputations damaged.

"These clues are too complicated and scattered all over the world, so we can't investigate them one by one." Ding Can said while flipping through them, "Even if we find those people, they may not necessarily tell us the truth."

"Yes." Su Xia agreed.

"My lord, why don't you go first and put this matter aside for now."

Ding Can persuaded Su Xia to leave again.

Seeing now, even he agrees with what those mechanical creatures said.

He was only worried about Su Xia's safety, and hoped that Su Xia would leave the city as soon as possible. As long as he was still alive, he would be able to investigate clearly one day.

But Su Xia shook her head and said, "Wu Hong is right, even if it's just the tip of the iceberg."

"My lord, leave the follow-up matters to me, and I will lead people to raid the landfill and clarify the matter with my father!"

"No, your people are no match for them."

Su Xia is well aware of the strength of both sides, but Ding Can is still too weak.

The city was closed at six o'clock in the morning, and there was still time, so there was no need to leave now.

This task is related to the "anti-stance device". Even if it is not for the truth, but for this device, Su Xia cannot give up.

He continued to read the rest of the materials, sorting out the details in his mind.

Time goes by slowly...

Finally, in the second half of the material, Su Xia finally saw a useful piece of news.

The friends of the mechanical family told Wu Hong that if you only want to solve the problem here in Haima City, you can investigate [Ace Villa], where a key person lives.

The location of the villa is not far from the landfill, less than [-] kilometers away.

[Mission hint: a special mountain villa, you may find a lot of things there]

Tasks also give hints.

[The mission map has been updated in real time]

【Click to view】

On the map, another red dot appeared, waiting for Susha to explore.

At that time, Wu Hong was involved in a car accident before he had time to investigate the villa, and his parents were unable to investigate because the area was private and the outside was heavily guarded.

The old couple tried many ways, but they couldn't find much information about the villa.

"Where are you going?" Wu Hong's father worried: "It's very dangerous there, there are security guards patrolling everywhere."

"Don't worry, leave this to us."

Without hesitation, Su Xia got up immediately.

With his ability, if he still can't enter that villa, few people in this seahorse city should be able to enter.

"If you really want to go, take this with you."

The old couple had nothing else to offer, they just gave Su Xia and Ding Can a lucky charm, which they asked for in the temple.

Sad to say, both of them were strong believers in science.

But since their son and daughter-in-law had an accident, they gave up everything before, and even began to seek help from mysterious powers, whether it was true or not, whether it was useful or not.

Su Xia and Ding Can accepted the lucky charm, and then bid farewell to the old couple.

Due to the previous arrangement, Ding Can's subordinates had already prepared another car, and now it was parked not far away to wait for them.

Suki, who was pregnant, was also transferred to that car.

After the two went downstairs, someone greeted them immediately: "Boss, come this way."

"it is good."

The two walked over and got into the car one by one.

It doesn't take long to drive from here to the outskirts of the villa, four or ten minutes at most.

Ding Can was still the driver. After giving some instructions to his subordinates, he started the engine and drove towards the destination with one kick of the accelerator.

It was late at night, and as the closing time approached, the atmosphere in the city became more and more tense.

During the time they read the information, the whole city has undergone considerable changes.

Ding Can drove towards the main road in the city, thinking that the main road was spacious and he could let go of his speed.

But after he drove into the main road, he found that there were many cars from other places in the front and back, and all of them were out of the city. The densely packed car lights were connected in a string, which made the main road a little congested.

"Drip-drip--"

Horns blare non-stop on the road, and everyone seems to be in a hurry.

Ding Can pressed the window of the car and asked the car next to him, "Hey! Brother, why did you all run out?"

The driver of that car replied: "Don't mention it, the machine race is crazy, and the city is really going to be closed, why don't you run away now and wait to be dumped?"

It is not known who leaked the news.

With the sensitivity of the Zero Tavern to information, it was natural that they knew it immediately, even the exact time of the closure of the city.

Everyone is here for the bounty, and you don't want to lose your life here.

"Don't hesitate, run now!"

The convoy out of the city formed a long queue, and the scene was comparable to a holiday trip.

In the long convoy, Su Xia also saw a few familiar ones - the special cars of Zero Tavern.

Those cars are right behind.

The driver of the front car was A Feng, the bartender.

Su Xia felt strange, this guy is a contracted member of the local tavern, could it be that he wants to run away too?

He asked Ding Can to slow down the car, parallel to that car, then pushed down the window and asked A Feng: "Why are you running outside too?"

"Huh? Brother, are you running too?"

When Ah Feng saw Su Xia, his eyes lit up, then he shook his head and said, "No, I just sent a few friends off and sent them outside the city."

"Aren't you running?"

"Of course I won't run away!" Ah Feng patted his chest, "Brother, you think there are many people here, but in fact, less than two-thirds of them run away, and at least one-third of them stay in the city."

"Aren't they afraid of the stand device?" Su Xia asked.

"What are you afraid of? They all want to see how powerful that stand device is!"
