Chapter Twenty-Eight: A Fish in Maple Lake


Like an arrow, the figure of a fish drew a white line piercing into the depths of the icy dark lake, and the tremendous power from the crashed spaceship was clearly reflected in this straight line, and a few bubbles overflowing from the top of the figure did not have time to float before they were shattered by the sharp invisible waves.

At this time, it was already night, the autumn lake water was cold and biting, the face was painful, the medical glue was scattered, and there were blood streaks oozing, but like those bubbles, it quickly merged into the lake water, and no trace could be found.

The huge pressure invaded everywhere, but Xu Le's very miserable face did not react, he was very adaptable to this environment, he sank countless times in the hundreds of millions of tons of lake water on the Red Rose, suffocated countless times, no longer afraid of water, only close with a sense of tranquility.

He struggled to open his swollen eyes and swam towards the bottom of the lake, holding the box he had picked up out of nowhere, not moving, his waist occasionally swaying like a fish, and the speed of the lake would increase again as soon as it was slowed down by the water.

Touching a boulder in the depths of the lake, he closed his lips and slowly adjusted his posture, stretched his obviously stiff left leg into the crack of the stone, wedged his body and no longer floated, and then quickly opened the toolbox in his hand, took out the small device, slowly turned his head sideways, and poked towards the electronically controlled bomb tie ring in the blood hole in his left shoulder.

The high-speed rotating probe did not make any humming sound at the bottom of the lake, only a few beautiful whirlpools of water.

Ten seconds, twenty seconds.

Xu Le raised his eyes and squinted at the lake, faintly seeing lights shining, and the huge spiral arms of helicopter fighters were dancing.

The Imperials came quickly, faster than he had imagined.

After the crash of the four-nozzle suspension spacecraft, the follow-up military plane in charge of escorting did not land to rescue his colleagues, but directly began to search the lake surface on a large scale, preventing him from escaping as soon as possible Immediately after that, more Teiren rushed over.

He watched in silence for a moment, then lowered his head and continued his work.

One minute, two minutes, three minutes, four minutes.

In the depths of the lake, where there was no oxygen, he forgot to breathe, and faint streaks of blood oozed from the wounds on his cheeks and nostrils, slowly rising like red smoke.

The scorching energy inside his body also roamed freely like these blood mist, entering every cell, moistening his lungs, refreshing his spirit, and ensuring his survival.

The electronically controlled frenulum on the blood hole in his left shoulder suddenly flashed with a red light, and under normal circumstances, a flash of light of this color would directly blow his upper body to pieces with a few plastic energy explosives locked in the alloy ball.

The injured and swollen eyelids were soaked in the lake and turned a little white, Xu Le closed his lips tightly, lowered his head and continued to, without blinking his eyes.

In fact, from the moment the spaceship crashed into the lake, the electronically controlled bombs on his shoulders had flashed red many times.

Amazingly, there was no explosion, and there was no mutilated corpse floating in the silent lake surrounded by maple forests towering into the Cloud Triangle, nor did the fish turn their bellies white.

The deep water of the lake slowly stirred his black hair, like a mass of vigorous aquatic plants, and he squinted his eyes, silently and steadily defusing the bomb.

From the beginning of this escape plan, the first thing he had to do was to ensure that the two bombs on his shoulder would not explode, and he did it.

Many days ago, he was lying in the intensive care room of the Imperial Royal Second Hospital, his right index finger moving slightly under the white sheets.

Ten days ago, the nurse who was in charge of his care lost a mobile phone, and an inconspicuous metal screw and two more inconspicuous steel wires were missing from the corner of the binding bed.

Those days and nights, like a real paralyzed patient, he stared emptily at the snow-white ceiling above his head, and the white sheets shrouded his thin body.

No one of the Imperials could have imagined that under the white sheets, his body was able to move, but it didn't move, but with five dexterous fingers of a genius mechanic, he turned those metal screws and steel wires and mobile phones disassembled into countless parts, into tools that moved slowly.

Dismantling the sensitive electronically controlled bomb requires very professional equipment, even if the electronically controlled bomb cannot accept the signal, it also requires extremely precise tools, but for this federal mechanic named Xu Le, a telephone, a metal screw and a few steel wires are enough.

There was still no sound in the depths of the lake, Xu Le looked down at the electronically controlled bomb that was slowly peeling off his shoulders, but there seemed to be an extremely crisp and pleasant clicking sound in his heart, and a hint of joy and relaxation flashed in his swollen and squinted eyes.

After being captured on the Red Rose, electronically controlled bombs were bloodily tied to his shoulders, and even if he fought side by side with Huai Caoshi in the sea of mulberry trees, His Highness never meant to relieve him, because the Empire could not underestimate his ability.

As soon as the burden of serious threats to life was removed, and the mental pressure was suddenly dissipated, Xu Le suddenly felt that his body was a lot lighter, and he couldn't help grinning, but his cheeks were full of red and swollen scars, and there was unhealthy blood red in his white teeth, this smile couldn't help but be a little weird.

Still smiling happily, he stretched out his hand in the lake and made a move, beckoning a handful of lake water, symbolically pounced on his face, he gently kicked the boulder at the bottom of the lake, shook his waist, and swam silently towards the lake like a big fish.

I don't know how long he has been holding his breath at the bottom of the lake, but now he seems to be able to survive without breathing for a short time, and what is the difference between him and a fish There is a bright light flickering on the surface of the lake, and there is a faint vibration that penetrates deep into the lake, and the water waves refract and reflect the light, turning it into a strange mirror.

He swam towards the mirror.

The spaceship crashed, and the fugitive was about to be criminalized, His Highness was furious, and the imperial troops around the Tianjing Star Capital City moved as fast as they could.

In a very short period of time, thousands of soldiers surrounded the lake firmly, and all the high-power searchlights were turned on, illuminating the forest and lake in the dark night into a delicate day.

Dozens of the Empire's latest wolf tooth mecha took heavy mechanical steps, patrolling the lakeside wetlands vigilantly, and from time to time huge maple trees were hit, falling red leaves all over the sky, startling countless night birds.

On the surface of the lake, more than a dozen helicopter fighters roared and circled, and the huge wind force of the spiral arm splashed the waves of the lake in all directions, as if a monster was about to drill out.

Huai Caoshi is on her way to come in person.

No matter what way you look at it, the empire will never allow Xu Le to escape, not to mention that he now knows more secrets because of the ruthless and boring gamble with Huai Caoshi, not to mention that his life experience has a reason to die eight hundred times in the emperor's opinion.

In the low-lying water meadow on the west bank of the lake near the shade of the woods, Xu Le slowly poked out half of his head, the lake water and mud and sand slipped silently from his face, he squinted at the white lake, looked at the beams of light in the forests around the lake, and felt uncontrollable shock, the imperial people really looked down on themselves too much, and actually put on such a big battle.

Hundreds of meters away, the sound of a dog barking could be heard, and a military vehicle closer to it was slowly scanning the lake with a receiver screen.

Xu Le's pupils shrank, he lowered his head without hesitation, and sank into the depths of the lake again, the other party actually dispatched military dogs and life detectors at the same time in such a short period of time, except to dive into the deep bottom of the lake, he had no way.

Entering the depths of the lake, he was a fish, a fish that swam around happily, and he was confident that there would be no way for the Empire to find him.

However, he had just begun to dive and had not had time to swim happily when the movement on the surface of the lake and the waves blown by the wind attracted his attention.

Looking at the giant suspension transport plane and the submarine hanging below the transport plane, Xu Le opened his mouth and was speechless.

Even the submarine was brought over, Huai Caoshi, you are ruthless enough.

Xu Le silently admired in his heart, turned his body, quickly flicked his legs, and swam towards the dark and safe depths of the lake.

It was only a moment when he leaned out of the lake, and Xu Le saw a lot of details, saw the other party's strong determination, saw the north and south he wanted to see, and saw what he didn't want to see.

Hiding at the bottom of the lake was not an option, and with the Empire's frantic search, even if they were targeting a small river crab in the cobblestone at the bottom of the lake, it could be easily dug up.

It is necessary to leave this lake as fast as possible.

The north side of the lake crosses a green park, and it is connected to the Tianjing Star Capital, in that heavily guarded capital, every street, every apartment, and even every toilet will have a chip monitoring device specifically for federal spies, and the Federation people enter there purely to seek death.

To the south of the lake is a lush, nay, lush red maple forest, which was originally planted artificially, under the deliberate protection of the imperial family, under the protection of the imperial family, and under the protection of the long years, it has gradually become the most untouched primeval forest on the planet, where there are huge trees and leaves that are enough to cover the body, there is the most difficult terrain for escape, and most importantly, there are not many chip monitoring devices in the primeval forest.

To the north is danger, like a giant beast that has been silent for a thousand years, an ancient tomb full of mechanisms, ready to devour the people who have strayed in, without even spitting out the fragments of bones.

To the south is temptation, like a blank sheet of paper to be smeared, and an insignificant virgin attracts fugitive people to go there bravely and paint a wonderful picture with the footsteps of their own adventures.

No matter from any point of view, Xu Le should choose to flee to the south, which has nothing to do with his habitual thinking, and the objective environment of Tianjingxing's reality determines that he has only this choice.

"The problem is that the Imperial people think this way, and so does Huai Caoshi."

Xu Le squinted his eyes and waved the icy lake water, said a word in his heart, and quietly swam towards the shore of the lake in the north.

I don't know how long it took, but it was not surprising that he found the outlet for the underground water in the depths of the lake, and a sincere smile appeared on his miserable face again.
