The most powerful life in the universe is a crustacean called a cockroach, and Xu Le's life has always been as powerful as it. The most powerful beings in the universe that are closest to human beings are mice. Xu Le, who is familiar with his path and smirking and crawling in the dark underground tunnels, really looks like a big mouse with black mud on his fur, so even if he is alone in the empire In the middle, facing the hunting and killing of countless elite troops, he can still live well and run hard.
Just running always needs a goal, and his goal is undoubtedly to return to the Federation and return to his hometown. Originally, he pinned all his hopes on the possible spaceships in Master Fan's mansion and a spaceship that might surpass the current level of technology. It's a pity that these vague hopes were lost in that crazy literature and art. Years were all torn to shreds, and even nearly died.
The illusory hope is gone, how can I go home? Where to go now
He stopped by the mouth of a wet sewage treatment pipe and leaned against the moss-covered wall.
After sitting down, he temporarily relaxed so that the bones in his body that were broken by Huaicao Shi's fists began to express the greatest protest with pain. With his terrifying endurance, he couldn't help but breathe quickly for a while. , then resisted the urge to groan and let the blurred vision refocus.
Aunt Susan's small courtyard must not go back. Since the Imperial Royal Intelligence Service has already found out, it would be death to go back by herself. What worries Xu Le even more is whether Huai Cao Shi will obey the two-person room or not. Any binding secret room agreement, let the kind mother and son go.
His eyes fell on the note in his pocket, and in the dim light, he carefully read the few lines of imperial characters and a sketch on the note again, and Xu Le fell into deep thought. He knew that this slip of paper, which was obviously written in a sloppy manner, and thus looked very unserious, actually represented a key, a door key to a mysterious force within the empire.
But the problem is that, until now, Xu Le still didn't understand, what is the origin of that mysterious force within the empire, nobles or civilian rebels? For what purpose do they help themselves? According to the federal government's long-distance inference of the Empire's folk thoughts, it seems that within the Empire, no class will have even the slightest favor for the Federation.
What made him even more terrified was that in this incident at the Grand Master Fan Mansion, the power displayed by this mysterious force was too powerful, so powerful that he couldn't even believe it.
Under the heavy siege of countless imperial troops, that mysterious force was able to quietly enter Master Fan's house, subduing the seemingly crazy but definitely not simple Master Fan without alarming anyone, and then this mysterious force was able to stay behind. A wolf-tooth mecha, and a crack appeared in the tight imperial encirclement!
According to the analysis of historical knowledge mastered by Xu Le, it is impossible for such a powerful opposition force to appear in a centralized empire like the Baijin Dynasty. Under the dictatorial machine, it can only end up in a pitiful end.
There are still many unanswered questions.
If that mysterious force was really on the opposite side of the royal family, why didn't they kill Huaicao Shi at that time, or even help themselves to kill a trace of Huai Cao Shi? Why did they not kill Master Fan, but hung Master Fan naked in this almost urchin joke
Master Fan imprisoned him and Huaicao Shi, and finally wanted them to sleep naked on their pillows. The man who made Master Fan into a pitiful hanging man, in this way, looks... more like this kind of madness towards Master Fan Attempted mockery and revenge.
Yes, it is revenge, it is revenge from the standpoint of myself and Huaicao Shi!
In the gloomy underground water channel, Xu Le's squinted eyes flashed a light, and then quickly disappeared. He closed his eyes and recalled all the details of his experience since he started fleeing last year, especially from the maple lake. In the experience of escaping in Li, it seems that a pair of eyes have been staring at him, staring at his back...
An incredible guess, a fact that he had been looking forward to so much, gradually took shape in his mind, and because of the shock brought about by this guess, his eyes closed tighter and tighter, until the pair of straight eyebrows frowned. For one place, his shoulders trembled slightly.
three days later.
The event that shocked the entire Tianjing Star, especially made millions of people in the slums tremble with fear, and was extremely terrifying, has already ended quietly.
The secret agents of the Imperial Intelligence Agency may still be dutifully examining every clue. The traffic arteries on the periphery of the slums, and countless soldiers with live ammunition are carrying out rigorous inspections. For the people, the already numb mood, which has been tortured by years of suffering, has long since lost many waves.
For them, that terrifying incident was at most a matter of discussion after dinner, and life had to go on. Those poor people who lived around Master Fan's mansion, after receiving a meager subsidy, wiped away their tears and started to Gathering the scraps of furniture and the few valuables buried in the dirt from the ruins with a blank face...
A young man with a pale face, thin body and sparse eyebrows, walked out of a smoky casino. He stumbled and his eyes were blank, and he did not attract anyone's attention. It's not worth wasting a second to see or sympathize with the rotten gamblers who spend day and night in the casino and may be killed on the street all the time.
With an authentic southern county accent, this young man was awkwardly approaching the breakfast vendor on the street. In the end, he still couldn't get a few bites to eat. , put his hands into his trouser pockets, and swayed toward the alley next to him.
This rotten gambler who looks suspicious is Xu Le.
Although he couldn't get the hot food from the vendor, at least he confirmed that he didn't look for the wrong place. The address on the note was an inconspicuous dilapidated yard in this alley.
After successfully escaping from the stinky pond, he did not find a way to stay away from this capital full of soldiers, but chose to stay in this slum. It seemed like a risky choice, but it was actually well thought out. He was unfamiliar with the rest of the empire, and this neighborhood crowded with millions of poor people, full of criminals, prostitutes and thieves of all kinds, could really cover him, In a way, he's more of a ghetto than the Imperials who hunt him down.
The thinking in the underground tunnel that day did not last long. Xu Le has always been a person who is good at simplifying complex problems. Since there is no way ahead, the mysterious force has left a way. Well, no matter how sinister conspiracy and tricks are, there is probably no anger and terror of the imperial family.
What's more, the conjecture hidden in his heart also needs to be confirmed by contact with that mysterious force.
He gently knocked on the sleeping courtyard door, and after a while, an expressionless middle-aged aunt brought him in. Seeing this aunt who didn't seem to welcome her very much, Xu Le naturally thought of Aunt Susan.
Without identity confirmation, no inspection, and no secret code, Xu Le was taken into the depths of the dilapidated courtyard. He even had some doubts, did the other party know who he was? Oh, this is not a philosophical question, but a logical one.
In the depths of the dilapidated courtyard is an open field, surrounded by random wooden houses, which are very good at separating the peeping eyes from the outside of the courtyard, and the auto parts and repair tools placed in the middle of the field must be able to successfully Concealed by intelligence agency satellites.
Outside the wooden house on the right is a row of rudimentary workshops. The sound of the motor rotating is heard from time to time, but because it is still early, the sound is not dense.
At this point, Xu Le was able to confirm that this was a stronghold using an auto repair shop as a cover, but he still didn't know who the owner of the stronghold was.
The scene in the living room on the first floor suddenly changed. More than a dozen big shirtless big men stared at Xu Le who walked in with bad expressions. These big men were burly and muscular, and they kept fiddling with obviously forbidden weights in their hands. Firearms, what is even more alarming is the dangerous aura these people exude, the fanatical aura that doesn't take human life seriously.
What Xu Le cared about was the emotions in the eyes of these people, disgust, contempt, ridicule, cruelty... He was very familiar with these emotions. On the battlefield of Xilin, he could often see the imperial soldiers cast the same gaze towards the Federals. .
"It seems that you know my identity very well..." He stood in the middle of the field and said, "And you don't seem to welcome me, but to be honest, no matter what your origins are and how you want to cooperate with me, I'm not very optimistic about it. you."
At this moment, the man who had been sitting in the chair with his back to him said with a smile, "Don't worry about our discipline, although everyone, including me, hates the Federals, but... they are mine. Brother, no one here will betray you without my consent."
The man stood up, looked at Xu Le with a slight smile, and continued: "Besides, you don't have to worry about your safety here. As the biggest gang leader in this area, in fact, this slum area is managed by me... not His Majesty the Emperor. ."
After being silent for a moment, Xu Le shrugged and replied, "The leader of the gang? It's a bit unexpected. It seems that the person who wants to talk to me should be someone else, someone above you."
