The sofa in the Wangdu apartment is not too short. Xu Le likes to snuggle up and watch Channel 23 with snacks on it, which shows that his life is actually as warm and harmonious as many ordinary young people, but many things that have happened in the past years are enough to prove that once he is forced into a corner that he can't turn around by the environment or his obsession, he will always squint or smash all the way with bright eyes, and interpret the words decisive and decisive very vividly.

Remove the chip on the back of his neck, avoid the surveillance of the empire, and quietly enter the vast sea of people in the capital. Hide your whereabouts with the help of the prosperity of the world. Wait patiently for any gaps to be revealed on the Imperial side, and look for every possible way to leave the planet, infiltrate the border star field, prepare for the counterattack of the Federation forces, or go straight through the Evening Scorpion Nebula Passage back home...... This was his original escape plan, and the plan was set, and according to his character, he would resolutely carry it out without any hesitation.

Therefore, today's hesitation is not the confusion of identity and cognition full of literary and artistic youth, and the bleakness of the spirit that is separated from the past, but based on a very simple reason:

He was afraid of pain, or more precisely, he was afraid of fainting and becoming a pitiful prey to a comatose under the iron hooves of the Imperial Capture Force.

In the autumn of the sixty-fifth year of the Xian calendar, he began his first escape, a life-changing escape, at the beginning of that escape, he replaced the chip on the back of his neck, and ended up in a coma in the stormy Qingqiu Autumn Forest for a whole night.

Now that five years have passed, he has begun to flee again, but he has always remembered the pain that human beings can only use fainting to passively resist, and he has always remembered it vividly, and he dare not forget it, and his heart has palpitations.

If he dared to venture into a secluded place to gamble when he was in the Federation, countless Imperial soldiers were searching for him, and if he fainted from the pain, he would fall into the sea of death forever.

Moving forward in the underground waterways and getting the help of the sewer map in the bracelet, he wanted to find an opportunity to find a safe place to replace the chip on the back of his neck, but he didn't expect that the emperor's ** team was so fierce that there was no good time at all.

In the dark underground tunnels like years, he carried a firearm, stepped on the military boots that constantly wore his heels, and looked at the map and walked silently, but the question kept echoing in his mind: To bet or not to gamble?

It took him a total of three minutes to get the answer, three hundred meters away, in a dark corner without any lights, looking at the iron gate of the layman's passage faintly visible in the distance, Xu Le took a deep breath, a fierce look flashed in his swollen and squinted eyes, and his left hand hanging on his waist suddenly tightened.

......

......

The wire in the bracelet slowly stretched out like a ghost, aiming at the skin on the back of his neck. The surroundings were pitch black, but the wire reflected the luster from somewhere.

The extremely slender and sharp wire shook gently in his slightly trembling hand, and it seemed that the slightest more shaking would break apart.

Xu Le took another deep breath, then closed his eyes and approached the back of his neck with his left hand again.

As the wire came within three centimeters of the skin on the back of his neck, the sharp tip suddenly trembled strangely, like a hungry bee. Suddenly, he smelled the charming nectar and flapped his transparent wings quickly and excitedly.

The tiny invisible charge is constantly condensed at the tip of the wire, and a very small electromagnetic field envelops the area behind the neck, and a small pimple slowly protrudes on the skin.

Xu Le's face was expressionless, his eyes were closed, he could feel the strangeness on the back of his neck, but there was no reaction, although the last time the chip was replaced was five years ago, but he remembered every step of the details very clearly.

Sewage flowed slowly from beneath the underground platform, and the dry air was filled with the smell of decaying life.

Suddenly, the tip of the wire automatically extended with a snort, stabbing the small pimple on the back of his neck with precision, and then vibrating and constantly poking into the cervical spine!

The intense pain went down the nerve bundle in the cervical spine and violently blasted into the brain, Xu Le's half-kneeling body suddenly stiffened, his tightly closed eyes opened suddenly, his facial features twisted painfully, and the burning heat and endless pain in his body were intertwined in one place, as if he was about to burn into ashes!

......

......

After a few minutes, a trembling figure stretched out his right hand with difficulty, touched the heavy iron door, stepped out of the underground waterway, and climbed down the old staircase to the ground, until he climbed out of the ground, and rested for a moment in a low bush, the figure again struggled to his feet in agony, and continued to walk, looking like a dying seriously ill patient, who could fall to the ground at any moment.

Luckily, he didn't pass out in pain, but unfortunately, he needed to be awake to endure the increasingly intense pain, and the knuckles of the cervical spine that were deeply implanted in the chip seemed to be about to break, making his fingers begin to feel numb.

The night was dark, and the southwest block of Tianjing Star Capital City was empty, and Xu Le, who was pale in his face, moved his body miserably along the green space on the side of the street, moving his body that was trembling because of pain.

The trembling bodies brushed against the bushes, making a rustling sound, but at this time, the night breeze was in full swing, and the treetops rubbed each other's bodies from time to time, masking the sound that might reveal their whereabouts.

Because he didn't faint, he could clearly perceive the abnormality and unbearable pain in the back of his neck more clearly than he had five years ago, and his injured leg dragging slowly in the grass was almost unable to support his weak body. He didn't even notice that his teeth had bitten his lip, and the already small amount of blood was dripping onto his uniform.

Those who are extremely sleepy cannot see the bed, those who are extremely hungry cannot see the food, and those who are extremely painful cannot relax their spirits in the slightest. At this time, Xu Le had endless temptations in his heart, wanting to let himself fall down, unconscious, and unwilling to bear this terrible pain and torture again.

In addition to the pain, there is also a strange feeling of emptiness, this time it is not to replace the chip, but to perform the procedure of removing the chip, since he was born for more than 20 years, for the first time in the back of his neck, there is no chip exists. Although the people of the Federation usually don't feel the existence of the chip at all, but reason tells them that the chip is not there, and that feeling is like one of their organs suddenly disappearing, inexplicable.

The pain and emptiness, the unknown dangerous road ahead, the fainting desire that hits all the time, Xu Le pursed his lips tightly, and resisted with superhuman perseverance.

Maybe it's because in the days when he was in the hospital, paralyzed and then forcibly broke through the meridians, he had endured too many times of pain that is rare in the world, so ...... He survived, albeit hard.

Fortunately, after leaving the underground sewer system and entering the surface of a heavily guarded city, he has not alarmed the ubiquitous Imperial chip surveillance equipment.

But danger remained, and after a long struggle to navigate the cracks of the apartment building, a straight, empty road stopped him. To make matters worse, there are many military and police officers at the crossing who are vigilantly watching the movements around them.

The target of his plan is a chaotic and ineffectively supervised slum a few kilometers away, and if he has no choice but to stay in this apartment complex, it will be difficult for the emperor police to avoid the daytime search.

The street in front of him is not too wide, if he is usually healthy, he only needs to bow his body a few wrong steps to pass by, and he will not alarm those military police at all, but the problem is that he is now in the weakest state, and he may fall down at any time.

The dim streetlamp, through the bushes, fell on his pale cheeks, and he squinted his eyes over there, waiting for an opportune moment, only to find that his vision was beginning to blur from the torment of pain and weakness.

It's almost unbearable.

At that moment, an Imperial man, who seemed to be drunk, staggered down the sidewalk at the edge of the bush, muttering something in his mouth, and ran across the street.

Probably only the extremely drunk Imperial people would ignore the military and police with gloomy expressions, and they would be completely ignorant of the order of the curfew tonight.

The military police at the intersection became nervous and shouted and surrounded the drunk, and the military police who did not move also subconsciously looked over there.

Xu Le did not let go of this fleeting opportunity. Taking a deep breath of the cool autumn night wind of the empire, his throat that seemed to be about to smoke moistened slightly, and his right leg, which had been deeply immersed in the mud beforehand, suddenly exerted force, and the military pants on his leg were shattered, and the last burst of force was shocked, driving his body into a gray shadow, and instantly swept through the street!

......

......

Falling heavily in the dirt, he didn't dare to make the slightest sound, and continued to lie down for a long time, resisting the coming of his brain

's strong desire to faint, confirming that the military policemen did not find themselves, supported the ground with their hands, carefully raised their bodies, and glanced back in the direction of the intersection.

The drunkard who could be considered his life-saver. He had been violently knocked to the ground by the military police with electric batons, brutally beaten, rolling and moaning in pain on the ground.

Xu Le squinted his eyes and was silent for a moment, then turned his head.

He struggled through the squirry alleys. The buttresses pass through the paths between the buildings, and the hands and feet climb over the low walls with pain, and move slowly but surely in this strange and exotic urban building.

His body was getting colder and colder, he was shaking more and more, his left leg felt as if it was broken, and his vision was getting blurred and blurred.

The night was still so deep, and the main street of the city was still so dangerous, and after crawling into the messy and filthy neighborhood, he still did not dare to let down his guard in the slightest, and his back was against a low gray wall, and his chest rose violently.

There was an eaves on the wall, and there was dew on the eaves dripping gently on his face, and he subconsciously raised his head to take a bite, the tip of his tongue sliding over his dry lips.

In good spirits, Xu Le observed the messy environment around him, climbed into a dilapidated courtyard along the corner of the wall, and climbed up the dusty attic with his last strength.

On the opposite side of the attic was a wild cat, cowering in the grass growing in the corner of the eaves, and it stared curiously at the strange creature.

Xu Le looked at the wild cat, pulled the corners of his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand to close the window, and then fainted regardless of it.
