The most powerful life in the universe is a crustacean creature called a cockroach, and Xu Le's life has always been as strong as it.

The closest strong life to human beings in the universe is a mouse, and Xu Le, who is familiar with the way again and smirks and crawls in the dark underground tunnels, is really like a big mouse with black mud on his fur at this time, so even if he is alone in the empire and faces the hunting of countless elite troops, he can still live well and run hard.

It's just that running always needs a goal, and his goal is undoubtedly to return to the Federation, to return to his hometown. Originally, he pinned all his hopes on the possible spaceship in the Master Fan's Mansion and a possible spaceship that surpassed the current level of technology, but it was a pity that these already somewhat illusory hopes were all torn to pieces by that crazy literary middle-aged man, and even almost died because of it.

With all the hope gone, how can we go home, and where do we go now?

He stopped at the mouth of a wet domestic sewage pipe and leaned against the moss-covered wall.

After sitting down, the temporary relaxation made the bones in his body that had been broken by Huai Caoshi's fist begin to express the greatest protest with pain, and with his terrifying tolerance, he couldn't help but breathe rapidly for a long time before he resisted the urge to moan and refocused his blurred vision.

Aunt Susan's courtyard must not go back, since the Imperial Royal Intelligence Agency has found out over there, going back is tantamount to death, and what makes Xu Le even more worried is whether Huai Caoshi will abide by the non-binding secret room agreement between the two and let go of the kind mother and son.

His eyes fell on the note in his pocket, and by the dim light, he carefully read a few lines of imperial words and a sketch on the note again, and Xu Le fell into deep thought. He knew that the slip of paper, which was clearly scribbled and thus very unserious, actually represented a key, a key to some mysterious force within the Empire.

But the problem is that up to this point, Xu Le still hasn't figured out what the mysterious forces within the empire are, the nobles or the civilian rebels? What is the purpose of helping them? According to the long-distance severance of the federal government's popular ideology in the empire, it seems that no stratum within the empire will have even the slightest favor for the federation.

What made him even more alarming was that in this incident of the Great Fan Mansion, the power displayed by this mysterious force was too powerful, so powerful that he even couldn't believe it.

In the midst of the heavy encirclement of countless imperial troops, that mysterious force was able to quietly enter the Master Fan Mansion and subdue the seemingly crazy but definitely not simple Master Fan without alarming anyone, and then this mysterious force was able to leave a wolf tooth mecha behind, and a crack appeared in the tight imperial encirclement!

According to Xu Le's analysis of historical knowledge, it is impossible for such a powerful opposition force to appear in a centralized empire like the Bai Hibiscus Dynasty in any case, you must know that last year's aristocratic rebellion had the participation of His Royal Highness the Prince, and as a result, under the terrible dictatorial machine of the empire, it could only get a pitiful end.

There are many more questions.

If that mysterious force was really on the opposite side of the royal family, why didn't they kill Huai Cao Shi at that time, and didn't even help themselves kill a trace of Huai Cao Shi? Why didn't they kill Master Fan, but used this almost naughty joke to hang Master Fan naked **?

Master Fan imprisoned him and Huai Caoshi, and finally wanted them to sleep naked ** on their pillows, the person who made Master Fan become a poor upside-down man, this way of dealing with it seems ...... It's more like a mockery and revenge for this crazy attempt of the Grand Master.

Yes, it is revenge, it is revenge from the position of yourself and Huai Caoshi!

In the gloomy underground waterway, Xu Le's squinting eyes flashed with a bright light, and then quickly disappeared, he closed his eyes, recalling all the details of what he had experienced since he began to flee last year, especially the experience when he escaped from that maple lake, and it seemed that a pair of eyes had been faintly watching him, staring at his back......

Some uncanny conjecture, a fact he had been so much looking forward to, gradually took shape in his mind, and his eyes closed more and more tightly because of the shock of this speculation, until his straight eyebrows were squeezed together, and his shoulders trembled slightly.

Three days later.

The incident that shocked Jingxing today, especially the terrifying and terrifying incident that made millions of people in the slums feel terrified, has long ended quietly.

The agents of the Imperial Intelligence Agency may still be dutifully examining every clue, and the transportation arteries on the outskirts of the slums are still being rigorously inspected by countless armed soldiers, but for the low-level people living in this long and dilapidated neighborhood, the numb feeling of suffering for many years has long been lost.

The terrible event, for them, was at most an after-dinner conversation, and life had to go on, and those poor people who lived in the vicinity of the Master's Mansion, after receiving a meager subsidy, wiped away their tears and began to collect the cold furniture and few valuable items buried in the soil on the ruins with a blank face......

A pale-faced, thin-skinned, sparse young man, walked out of a smoky casino, staggering and blind, without attracting anyone's attention, for these people in the slums, who are busy with their livelihoods, it is not worth wasting a second of time to see or sympathize with such a rotten gambler who spends his days and nights in the casino, and may die on the streets at any moment.

The young man spoke with an authentic southern county accent, and was awkwardly close to the street vendor selling breakfast on the street, and finally he still couldn't get a few bites of food, he couldn't help but look a little stupid, muttered unclean words in his mouth, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and staggered towards the alley next to him.

This bad gambler who seems to be a little suspicious is Xu Le.

Although he couldn't get the hot food from the vendor, he was at least sure he was in the wrong place, and the address on the note was a nondescript broken yard in the alley.

After successfully escaping from the stinky pond, he did not find a way to stay away from the military-filled capital, but chose to stay in this slum. What may seem like a risky choice is actually well thought out, he is not familiar with the rest of the Empire, and this neighborhood crowded with millions of poor people, full of all kinds of criminals, prostitutes and thieves, can really cover him, and in a way, he is more like a member of the ghetto than the Empire who hunt him down.

The thinking in the underground tunnel did not last too long that day, Xu Le has always been a person who is good at simplifying complex problems, since there is no road ahead, that mysterious force leaves a way, so good, just simply go up, no matter how sinister the conspiracy is, there is probably no anger and terror of the imperial family.

What's more, the conjecture hidden deep in his heart also needs to be confirmed by contact with that mysterious force.

Gently knocked on the sleeping courtyard door, and after a while, an expressionless middle-aged aunt brought him in. Looking at this aunt who didn't seem to welcome him very much, Xu Le naturally thought of Aunt Susan.

There was no identification, no inspection, no code, Xu Le was taken into the depths of the dilapidated courtyard like this, and he even had some doubts, whether the other party knew who he was? Oh, this is not a philosophical question, but a logical one.

Deep in the dilapidated courtyard is an open field, surrounded by haphazard wooden houses, which are very good at separating the peeps from the outside of the courtyard, and the car parts and repair tools placed in the middle of the field must have successfully escaped the detection of the intelligence agency's satellites.

Outside the wooden house in the front right is a row of simple factory buildings, and the sound of motors spinning can be heard from time to time inside, but because it is still early, the sound is not dense.

Observing this time, Xu Le has been able to confirm that this is a stronghold that uses the auto repair shop as a cover, but he still doesn't know who the owner of the stronghold is.

The scene in the living room on the first floor suddenly changed, more than a dozen shirtless men stared at Xu Le who walked in with unkind expressions, these big men were burly, muscular, and kept fiddling with obviously forbidden heavy firearms in their hands, and what was even more alarming was the dangerous aura exuded by these people, the fanatical aura that did not take human life very seriously.

What Xu Le cares about is the emotions in these people's eyes, disgust, contempt, ridicule, cruelty...... This kind of emotion was familiar to him, and on the battlefield of Xilin, he could often see the emperor ** people projecting the same gaze at the Federation people.

"It seems that you know who I am......" he said, standing in the middle of the field, "and you don't seem to welcome me, but to be honest, no matter what your background is, how you want to cooperate with me, I don't think much of you......"

At this moment, the man who had been sitting in the chair with his back to him smiled and said, "Don't worry about our discipline, although everyone, including me, hates the Federation, but ............ They are my brothers, and no one here will betray you without my consent. ”

The man stood up, looked at Xu Le and smiled slightly, and continued: "In addition, you no longer worry about your safety here, as the largest gang leader in this area, in fact, this slum is managed by me...... And not His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Xu Le was silent for a moment and then shrugged and replied, "Gang leader, it's a bit unexpected to me, it seems that the person who wants to talk to me should be someone else, the person above you." ”
