Urban God-level Youth-Chapter 720 - Life Saver

Qin Hao replied, “There should be, but they are very far from Earth, and they probably don’t even know that Earth exists.”

Miao Jing nodded slightly upon hearing his words; she had encountered such incidents before when she was a police officer—commonly known as UFO incidents.

She began speaking, “Speaking of this, I remember something. About four or five years ago, when I had just become a police officer, I encountered one of these cases. A construction team reported finding fragments of a flying vehicle while digging an underground project. Later investigations revealed that it wasn’t a flying vehicle from this world, and eventually, the military took it away.”

The journey from Jianghai City to Pu’er Island was still quite lengthy, taking about forty to fifty minutes to reach Pu’er Island.

The two took this opportunity to rest for a while. After the air energy car arrived at Pu’er Island, it flew directly deep into the island where a door in the mountainside opened, and the air energy car flew inside, and the metal door automatically closed behind them.

The air energy car parked, and Qin Hao and Miao Jing got out, surveying the inside of the base.

The base was lit with countless lights, exceedingly bright, and everywhere, H-grade alloy was used, incredibly sturdy.

“Master,” at the entrance of the base, a dozen robots stood holding the most advanced laser weapons.

Qin Hao asked, “Where are Wanrou and the others? Lead me to them.”

“Master, please follow us,” two of the robots led the way as others continued to stand guard.

They led Qin Hao to an elevator that descended about six or seven stories underground.

Miao Jing curiously asked, “Qin Hao, what place is this?”

Qin Hao replied, “The underwater base on Pu’er Island.”

Exiting the elevator, the space below was even more extensive. The two followed through, soon seeing the underground ocean—yes, an ocean—but with the latest type of glass preventing the seawater from coming in.

However, this view had a significant visual impact on Miao Jing; the base was truly spectacular.

They soon arrived at a large laboratory where Du Wanrou and others were present, with an elliptical object the size of a house placed on the floor.

Du Wanrou, 001, and 002 were gathered around it, studying it.

Seeing Qin Hao entering with a woman, she paused and then asked, “Who is this?”

Qin Hao chuckled dryly, “She’s the daughter of Miao Jianyuan, Mr. Miao, and her name is Miao Jing. She was a police officer in Jianghai City. Miao Jing, this is the Wanrou I told you about.”

Miao Jing glanced at Du Wanrou, “Hello, Miss Du.”

Miss Du nodded slightly, “Hello, Miss Miao.”

…

Qin Hao walked up to the oval object and touched it, “Xiao Ying, can you take a look at what this is?”

Xiao Ying, “Master, this is supposed to be an escape pod used on battleships, akin to the lifeboats on ships, intended for escaping.”

An escape pod? Does that mean there are people inside?

What about the objects that fell elsewhere? Could they also be similar?

Qin Hao involuntarily took a few steps back, “There aren’t aliens inside, are there?”

Xiao Ying, “There indeed are, but they have been dead for a long time. This escape pod had been drifting for nearly a thousand years; the nutrient solution inside has long been depleted, and the person inside has starved to death.”

Curious, Qin Hao asked, “How do you open this thing?”

Xiao Ying, “This is now ownerless, and a life-saving device like this shouldn’t have any self-destruct system. From its current state, it appears to have activated the sleep system to reduce energy consumption. To open it, you would need to wake it up.”

“How do you wake it up?”

“Forcefully dismantle it, and it will wake up from its sleep mode and should automatically open.”

After understanding, Qin Hao said to No. 001 and No. 002, “Dismantle this thing for me forcefully.”

No. 001 nodded, “Master, please wait a moment; we have high-powered laser equipment here. I’ll get someone to bring it over for cutting.”

It sent the message through the network directly, and soon after, four robots came in pushing a laser cutting device.

Qin Hao stood a few meters away, with Du Wanrou and Miao Jing beside him.

Curiously, Du Wanrou asked, “Qin Hao, is this the cockpit?”

Qin Hao smiled, “This is a life-saving device, similar to lifeboats on a cruise ship, used for emergency escapes. It even has aliens inside; you’ll see them in a moment.”

“Aliens?” Du Wanrou and Miao Jing appeared stunned at the remark. Are there really aliens?

Once the laser cutting machine started, it began cutting through the life-saving device, which was made of F-grade metal, just within the capabilities of the cutter.

But as soon as they started, the whole pod began to tremble, and Qin Hao waved his hand, signaling those nearby to step back.

The life-saving pod opened up like a seashell, resembling a gaping mouth, with a man lying underneath, dressed in a military uniform of unknown origin, skin pallid and features refined, comparable to the young celebrities outside.

Since their genetic technology for humans was so advanced, it was normal for him to look attractive.

Qin Hao and the others took a few steps forward, then stared at the man inside the pod.

Suddenly, an image appeared in front of Qin Hao and the others, a figure materializing in the air, using virtual imaging technology. It was like a diary, recording the man’s life.

“I am Major Finn from Lei Meng Duchy in the Nolan Star System. Our military was ambushed by the Silver Star Free Federation in the Nolan Star System, sustaining heavy losses. I escaped the battlefield in this life-saving pod, but a Beam Cannon hit, and the star navigation system failed. I drifted into the Southern Wasteland Star System.”

…

“To conserve the nutrient solution, I underwent cryosleep, letting the life-saving pod’s AI search for a way home. By the time I woke up, over two hundred years had passed, and the nutrient solution was gone. I could only hold out for a few more days.”

“I feel my strength waning. Am I going to die? The Southern Wasteland Star System really is uninhabited; there’s nothing here… ”
