Chapter 21

  Four minutes and twelve seconds

  The disgusting triangle eyes were closed up when they were still in the air, that suffered Sheilor’s three combo strikes special soldier didn’t even make a hum and then fainted. If not for this man’s ability to resist the impact was extraordinarily tough, it was afraid of only one thing that he would have already died, since his throat was cut with a palm and the temple was knocked once by Sheilor’s middle finger. But even like this, this soldier still had the throat bone broken and wounded very heavily.

  Sheilor didn’t have time to stare blankly, he held the body of that special soldier in the first time to prevent the noise when he fell onto the ground, and then ran to the window with the fastest speed— This time, he believed that he could absolutely have the time of four seconds— He moved just like a civet, fell on the cement floor outside of the window, then bent down his body, got through the grass extremely fast, and wormed his way into the sewer in the distance.

  There were no gunfire as expected, or even no people found out this scene.

  Luckily fled from the encirclement of the special force Sheilor, began to run about wildly in the sewer. The past more than ten years, although he had been keeping the distance with Levi that group of orphans, but they were all the small potatoes who were growing up with the bitterness, about the sewers in the West River state to be used to hide from the police, no other people knew it better than them in this city.

  The light in the big and broad sewer was very dim, but it couldn’t stop his steps. The rapid footstep sound echoed in the full of peculiar smell and moisture air, and spread toward the distant gradually.

  The running about wildly Sheilor had the cold sweat all over his body, those beat out wounds and pains never affected his speed, but his mind was still chaotic, he didn’t know what was really going on at all.

  He just actually knocked out a special soldier? The fishy wind swat him in the face, that didn’t make him sober a bit more, Sheilor couldn’t believe the previous scene at all, why his own body would pose such a posture like a kind of instinct, and that posture would just right cut into that special commando’s attack range?

  It’s just like the chip and the base, Sheilor just stretched out his hands in instinct earlier, but it just avoided the attack of the other party, then he could hit on the crucial parts of the other party. He could have the instinct reaction in such a very short time, that strange posture equaled to let that special soldier put all his own crucial parts to his fist.

  That strange posture, of course, was the stiff dance which he had been forced to practice for four years by uncle Fengyu.

  Two years ago, he had already guessed whether this set of stiff dance would be some kind of combat skill of the military, today he got a certain degree of proof, but… He had just learnt it for four years, then he could knocked down a special soldier so easily, would be the set of movements that simple?

  Running on the platform in the sewers, his tiptoe stepped on a puddle of dirty water, the “Pa” light sound pulled Sheilor back from this kind of dazed mood. The fact had already happened, it didn’t need him to think over it for more time, the thing he must do right now was to find uncle Fengyu as soon as possible.

  The accessory criminal of the treason felony? He himself fled away from the custody of those soldiers, it’s probably that he couldn’t evaded this accusation— Sheilor was running stiffly, he wiped off the blood or the tears from his face, he knew it clearly, once he was really declared guilty by the Federation, in the splendor of the First Charter, unless he could find the pirate ships of the black market, ran away to Bermuda. Otherwise, he would be arrested and sent to the prison for certain.

  How could uncle Fengyu have been hiding in the Federation for more than ten years? Although the East Forest Region was far away from the Capital Planet Circle, but… He had a doubt fleeting in his mind, Sheilor’s mood got coldly once again, even he had the whopping capability to fled away to Bermuda to be the refugee, but he couldn’t think about to set his feet on the Federation’s land again in his this lifetime, the worked for the Federation whole life until death parents, and the buried in the East Forest sister Cynthia…

  I was just man who wanted to have a good life, just signed up for the sergeant examination of the Ministry of National Defense, just wanted to go to the Capital planet to open up the field of vision, changed the light of the life.

  Didn’t know whether his running speed was too fast or not, Sheilor’s heart had some pains and some grief, he lowered his head, kept running, and then looked up once again, but didn’t stop his steps.

  He was a youngster, an observing law and discipline, kind and simple youngster, if Fengyu was really an unpardonable treason criminal, he might really tell those people where Fengyu hid. But he believed his own boss and teacher, the most important thing was, he knew it clearly, today the soldiers from the Federation and those soldiers from the East Forest garrison command, not came to arrest Fengyu at all, but came to kill him instead!

  His parents and sister died from the coal mine disaster, had all the officers paid the price for it? There were too many unfair things in this world already, the stubborn Sheilor insisted on the things which he thought he should stand for, even the mechanic Fengyu this kind of escaped criminal, he still thought that the Federation or the law should give him a chance to talk, a chance to open the mouth to defend for himself!

  The end of the sewer was the dark mine tunnel, under the ground of the capital of the West River state, it was dug into the extremely complex tunnel web in those didn’t know how many years. In the getting silence gradually today, if not familiar with the underground tunnels people, would absolutely didn’t know, outside of that hidden exit of the sewer, would connect to those already abandoned mines on the city suburbs directly.

  Sheilor caught his breath to crawl on that shabby tramcar in the underground tunnel, through the reflection of the darkness, he took a look at the time on the watch, and prayed in the heart secretly.

  He didn’t know how fast the speed of interplanetary information transmission, he also didn’t know whether his specific frame of reference had already been checked by the electronic monitoring network, and how long for those soldiers to have the information. He must got the jump on to confuse the direction of the searchers in this period of time, and also found the wounded boss, otherwise, that would mean that he lead the army to the side of his boss!

  This was the race against the time, more accurately to say, this was the competition of speed against the splendor of the First Charter. When the tramcar “GeDeng Gedeng” drove toward the deep and serene distance, the lying inside Sheilor finally understood that sentence which his boss said in those days, understood why he would hate the First Charter the most.

  …………

  …………

  “The tracking information of the target 2 is been getting ready, the feedback time of the Charter Bureau will take…” Colonel Lake raised his wrist, frowned his eyebrows to take a look at the time, “four minutes and twelve seconds.”

  Then he yelled at the special soldiers around him, “four minutes and twelve seconds! Find him! Find that mechanic!”

  After he roared this sentence, he took down the sunglasses, turned his head back around, looked at inside of the camp that broken into two pieces plastic rope and that being first-aided special soldier, he had a long silence. Letting the target 2 to slip away was also part of the backup plan, but he still had not made up his mind to implement this plan, and this youngster had already brought him a big surprise.

  A seventeen years old youngster, could break the military high strength plastic incredibly, really no common person could think of it, he… how on earth could he do it? Colonel Lake got his face calmed down gradually, but the held in his hand sunglasses had already been deformed little by little.
