Chapter 16: Unable to Break Free

Planetary Defense Forces Command.

Commander Xie Wendong was furious. Originally, I thought that this arrest was just a simple task, but I didn't expect the third group of arrest teams to miss.

The capture was chosen in the evening hours of Firebird. This is the time when most of the inhabitants of Firebird come out of the mines, wash their bodies, and have dinner, and about 2 hours later, the frenetic nightlife of the entire planetary arena begins.

However, when the 3rd group went to Xiao Lixuan's residence, they rushed to the mine machine repair factory in Anping City, but did not find the person leaving at all, and the only explanation was that Xiao Lixuan sensed the danger and hid in the mine tunnel.

Firebird's new mineral development work has come to an end, and the tunnels that run through the entire planet are no less complex than the intricate network of human blood vessels, so when a person deliberately enters a dangerous tunnel to hide, trying to find him is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. The only way to do this is to temporarily lock all the pit entrances and call in the internal planetary probes of the defense forces, but this giant device has not been activated for more than 50 years, and it will take at least 3 days of commissioning to work properly again.

But there is no time left, and if he does not get the result that the Western Army wants tomorrow, he, the commander of the planetary defense force, is likely to face severe punishment by military law.

There was a suffocating aura in the commander's office, as a fighter level 5 powerhouse, the source power fluctuations that erupted in the state of rage made everyone present shudder. Xie Wendong paced anxiously, and the marks left on his face by the years became more and more obvious under his impatient mood. Even in the dozens of invasions of the Star Alliance, he had never seen him lose his temper like this. Suddenly, an emergency call from the intercom equipment made Xie Wendong stop:

"Urgent briefing! Target No. 2 escapes from the vicinity of the station! Repeat! Target number two has escaped! Two sergeants of the No. 1 arrest team were seriously injured by the target, and now the suspect has fled into the mine, and the arrest team is pursuing them with all their might. The existing firepower cannot be captured, apply to kill the target! ”

As soon as this announcement came out, everyone in the commander's office felt dizzy. Bad news followed, and none of them could have predicted what kind of outburst Xie Wendong would endure.

But the strange thing is that when Xie Wendong heard the news, a fine light flashed in his eyes, as if he had thought of some kind of means. This incident is indeed a godsend for Xie Wendong. He quickly turned on his light brain and entered a series of instructions, which were instantly fed back to the central database of the Federation, and then recoded by the database of the Western Legion, in the three-dimensional map of Firebird Star imaged in the center of the room, tens of thousands of flashing red dots appeared on the entire planet.

Xie Wendong casually clicked on the terrain of the Planetary Defense Force's station, and soon a map of the station's area with a radius of hundreds of kilometers was displayed, and on this map, there was only a red dot, moving slowly in the pit 100 meters underground.

He exhaled, adjusted his mood, and said to the sergeant standing beside him: "Send the data to the arrest team and tell them that they must not be arrested before the convergence of targets No. 1 and No. 2, and those who violate military law will be dealt with!" ”

After the sergeant was ordered to leave, the corners of Xie Wendong's mouth hooked up a mocking smile and said, "What a cunning mouse! I'll see where you go! ”

……

……

100 meters underground in the pit, Xiao Bai was running for his life. In this era, mining doesn't have to worry too much about landslides, but the dry, stuffy environment inside Firebird still makes people feel like they are about to suffocate. Under the dim light in the tunnel, Xiao Bai ran along the minecart track towards his destination, because many times he had followed his father down the shaft, and his father had told him that in case of emergency, he could meet there. In the dark and quiet environment, Xiao Bai's running footsteps echoed, as if the pursuer was chasing behind him, which made his mood more and more impatient.

After about 1 hour of running at full speed, a stalled minecart appeared on the road in the tunnel. Xiao Bai climbed into the minecart with a roll, tried to start the vehicle, and found that it could still be used, after he entered a coordinate address on the control screen, the minecart shook twice, like an old steel beast, began to accelerate silently, and then galloped up in the tunnel.

Fatigue made Xiao Bai lie down in the minecart all of a sudden, but then jumped up again. As soon as the particle beam on the back of the mine truck came into contact with the uneven inner wall of the minecart, the pain in the heart of the drill came from the spot. Xiao Bai turned sideways and slowly lay down again, sweat had soaked his whole body, he took a few deep breaths, the familiar smell of dust and scorching air breathed into his lungs, there was a comfortable feeling, Xiao Bai really couldn't hold on, he closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but there was a rush of shouting and shaking, waking Xiao Bai up from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw Xiao Lixuan standing outside the minecart, frowning and shouting to himself. Xiao Bai turned over and got up, the injured part of his back rubbed the inner wall of the minecart again, he grinned in pain, and he shouted anxiously: "Dad, you are really here." ”

Xiao Lixuan glanced at Xiao Bai's injuries on the quilt, and asked in a deep voice, "Hit by a gun?" ”

Xiao Bai nodded, and was about to say something, Xiao Lixuan raised his hand to stop him from speaking, and then said with a complicated expression: "I know what you want to say." But I want to tell you that time is running out, and soon the Planetary Defense Force will find us and say that you must keep every word I say in your heart......"

Xiao Lixuan's words made Xiao Bai's heart sink, and the young man interrupted Xiao Lixuan's words and said, "There are some things to tell me when we escape." Let's run! ”

Xiao Lixuan shook his head and said, "I can't escape." The military has sealed off the entire Firebird Star, and the no-fly ban won't end until we are caught. I'm going to say a few things now, and you don't interrupt anymore and keep in mind what I said. ”

Xiao Bai still wanted to argue something, but seeing his father's increasingly serious expression, he could only close his mouth and listen anxiously to what he was going to say.

"You've been tracked by the military. I think you escaped from your captors, and you're getting stronger. Xiao Lixuan patted Xiao Bai's shoulder, and said with a little pride: "I know that you are my Xiao Lixuan's son, your mother's son, and it is absolutely impossible to be a waste material for cultivation." I've always believed that you can definitely become stronger, it's just a matter of time, so I'm going to send you to the military's academy no matter what. ”

After saying this, Xiao Lixuan's expression became gloomy, and he said, "But I can't escape now." First things first: you've been asking your mom what happened back then, and I don't tell you. Actually, it's not that I don't tell you, but I can't say it. I wanted to wait until I could take on that responsibility, but now it doesn't seem necessary. Forget all about the past, you must have a new life from now on, stop chasing the past, and later you will be a citizen of the Commonwealth and enter the Academy. Cherish who you are. ”

"But Dad......" Before Xiao Bai finished speaking, he was stopped by Xiao Lixuan, he looked at the time and said anxiously: "Time is running out, you listen carefully!" ”

Xiao Lixuan paused and continued, "The second thing. Everything the military does is for the benefit of the entire Federation, so there is no right or wrong from the perspective of the general righteousness. So you don't have to hate anyone in the future, and don't try to get to the bottom of it, because there's no benefit in doing that...... The third thing. The main target of the military this time is me. So I will make an exchange with the military in exchange for your peace. No matter what news you hear in the future, don't be impulsive and think twice. Any decision you make is related to your own survival. ”

Xiao Lixuan's last sentence made Xiao Bai's brain boom, and he suddenly jumped out of the minecart, grabbed Xiao Lixuan's arm and shouted, "Dad, what do you want to do?!" ”

"You have to take my words to heart." Xiao Lixuan leaned on the minecart, put his arm around Xiao Bai's shoulder, took Xiao Bai beside him and said, "Boy, it's up to you to go on your own in the future." I held you in my arms when I was a kid for at least 10 years, and I haven't done that. I know that you have carried too many things in the past 10 years, but I haven't interfered too much, because you are the son of Xiao Lixuan, I know that you can survive anything! ”

There was a dense sound of footsteps in the tunnel, and from both ends of the tunnel, dozens of strong men with more than a heavily armed fighter appeared, Xiao Bai was a spirit, and he was just about to break free from Xiao Lixuan's arm, but he was held down by Xiao Lixuan. Xiao Bai bit his lip and looked at Xiao Lixuan's face in surprise, only to see that this tall, handsome man was slowly shaking his head at Xiao Bai with a calm face.

The soldiers quickly surrounded them, dozens of high-energy particle guns locked the two firmly, and seeing that there was no resistance, four soldiers quickly walked up, roughly separated the two and pressed them to the ground, and put 3 source force suppression handcuffs on the hands of the two.

Xiao Bai only felt a shock all over his body, and the powerful suppressive power of the handcuffs suddenly made him unable to move, and it seemed that even lifting his feet was a luxury. Xiao Lixuan's face turned pale, and his body trembled involuntarily. He was just a person in the early stage of body refining, and this triple suppression made his body feel a great load.

"Report to the military department, all the targets have been caught. We will take them separately to the station. The leading soldier watched the others finish all of this and said. When Xiao Lixuan was carried out by several people, he shouted with all his strength: "Son! You have to remember that Dad didn't do anything hurtful! You must live well! ”

"Dad!!" Xiao Bai cried loudly, watching his voice disappear into the depths of the tunnel, and tears could no longer hold back his eyes.
