As the saying goes, there are thoughts in the day, and dreams in the night.

Xu was homesick, and Lu Li entered the familiar dream again......

In the waiting hall, my father shouted excitedly with two tickets:

"Son ~ Dad is going to take you to a heavenly country! Even the air is extra sweet, you will get the best education and live the best life......"

The father's mouth kept opening and closing, telling about a bright future in his imagination.

Lu Li was dazed and frightened, and did not want to leave his hometown where he grew up.

But a 12-year-old child has no consciousness and no courage to resist his father's arrangement.

Flying up to 30,000 feet, my hometown is getting farther and farther away, gradually turning into a blurry little black dot.

Lu Li suddenly realized that he couldn't go back!

Unwilling and panic fill the chest, and the uncomfortable will tear people apart......

But just then, the dream was interrupted by the sound of a "buzzing" cell phone vibrating.

In the dimly lit rental house converted into a basement, Lu Li Huo Ran opened his eyes, and then slowly sat up.

The young man was quite handsome, but his expression was slightly stunned, and he didn't seem to be able to break free from his dream.

"It's been 5 years in a blink of an eye......"

This dream is more like a memory, a memory that Lu Li doesn't want to remember.

At that time, countless people firmly believed that the moon abroad was exceptionally round, and desperately wanted to emigrate, but after coming out, they found that the world was not so beautiful.

The past was unbearable, Lu Li shook his head to regain consciousness, and took out his mobile phone to unlock it.

On the broken outer screen, there was a notice from the school:

[Due to the current tensions, Tijuana City High School is closed with immediate effect......]

Seeing this news, Lu Li was not surprised.

"Sure enough, classes were suspended. No one in this country dares to ignore the threat of drug lords. ”

His country, called Mexico, is one of the most unsafe countries in the world, rife with drugs, crime, violence, and drug lords.

After the incumbent president came to power, he made cracking down on drug-related crimes his top priority and launched a vigorous anti-narcotics campaign.

Not to be outdone, the drug lords have issued death threats against government departments, including police and schools.

In the face of armed drug cartels with guns in the face, school closures are inevitable, but it is a good thing for Lu Li.

"I studied the textbooks of Xia Guo High School by myself, and I didn't want to learn the happy education here, so I just had time to go to the hospital to take care of my father."

With the faint light of the mobile phone, Lu Li quickly got dressed, and found a strange thing from the pillow.

Sockets, metal joints, connecting tubes...... It's a "prosthetic"! A calf prosthetic leg with rough workmanship!

Lu Li pulled up the empty right trouser leg, and it had disappeared at the knee.

He skillfully tied up his prosthetic leg, stood up with his hands propped up, and walked out the door.

Except for a slight staggering step, it is almost no different from ordinary people, and it has obviously adapted to artificial limbs.

~~~~~~~~~~

Contrary to the gloom of the basement, the sun is shining brightly outside.

Lu Li raised his hand to cover his eyes and adapted to the light, and then an exotic painting came into view.

Low, cluttered shacks, tall palm trees, and crowds of people dressed in cheap clothing, most of them with amber eyes and brown skin.

A few neighbors greeted them in Fur Machine: "¡Hola" (Hello)

Lu Li also responded in Franc's language, while dodging a few unkempt children playing football.

This backward appearance is far from the "paradise" described by my father, and even inferior to the county seat of my hometown.

Lu Li knew that this was not the country that his father longed for.

Father's target is actually the country's northern neighbor, the Star Alliance.

This is the first power of the Blue Star, known as the beacon of democracy, and people who want to immigrate are like carp crossing the river.

Many "black intermediaries" have seized on this mentality, declaring that the two countries are neighbors, and it would be extremely simple to immigrate to "Mexico" first and then to "Star Alliance".

deceived many people into giving up their original nationality and going bankrupt to fend for themselves in this poor and chaotic ghost place.

Lu Li's father is such an unlucky ghost, who has been resentful and depressed all year round, and has become ill and suffers from stomach cancer.

At present, the cancer cells have spread, and all Lu Li can do is to accompany him as much as possible in the last days.

He sighed and walked towards the City of Tijuana General Hospital.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

In a country with the highest murder rate in the world, Lu Li has always only taken the main road when he goes out, at least his safety is guaranteed.

However, the road was not quiet today, and military vehicles drove by one after another, loaded with soldiers with loaded guns and ammunition.

Among them was also a "Bull" armored car, and a steel giant weighing more than ten tons roared by, quite imposing.

Lu Li hurriedly retreated to a snack bar on the side of the road, and just heard the diners talking:

"The new mayor is a staunch anti-drug faction who arrested Benjamin's son as soon as he took office!"

"The only son! Benjamin is going to go crazy......"

Benjamin is the big local drug lord, and it looks like there's going to be a big scene ahead.

Lu Li is not interested in this, he is an ant struggling to survive, how can he have the leisure to take care of this.

At this time, he was constantly secreting saliva stimulated by the aroma of chicken rolls.

I came out early in the morning and didn't have breakfast, but I was short of money, so Lu Li decided to save money for this meal.

"It's okay if you don't eat a meal anyway."

He was about to leave this place full of temptation, but a weak voice sounded behind him:

"Brother, buy a bouquet of flowers~"

When I looked back, it was a little girl of about twelve or thirteen years old, carrying a basket of flowers, and her face was full of pleading.

Lu Li frowned. This worthless wildflower is sold to tourists, and he lives nearby, and he meets the little girl several times a day.

She found herself...... It can only mean that it is desperate.

Recently, the government's anti-drug tourists have dropped sharply, and if they fail to complete the task, they will definitely starve and even be beaten.

Lu Li sighed, took out a few banknotes and said, "3 pesos, do you want to sell them?" ”

This is equivalent to a dollar in Xia Guo, just enough to buy a chicken roll, and it is also the limit of Lu Li's kindness.

The little girl's eyes lit up, and she nodded again and again: "Sell, sell, thank you!" ”

She picked the largest and most colorful "dahlias" and handed them over, which the Mexico people regarded as a symbol of generosity and magnificence.

Lu Li took it in his hand and thought: It's not bad to change the mood in front of his father's hospital bed.

The boy put the flowers in front of his nose and sniffed them lightly, but before he could smell them, there was a sudden commotion in the distance!

I saw that all the government soldiers who had just passed by had fled, throwing away their weapons and equipment as they ran.

Even the majestic "Bull" armored car was so panicked that it didn't even have time to turn around, so it could only reverse and flee for its life, knocking over countless stalls.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Li saw the culprit of all this, an "M1A1" main battle tank, slowly appearing on the street corner!

This is the same tank used by the Star Alliance Army, but the hull is painted with the "Pit Viper Passing Through the Skull's Eye Sockets".

Lu Li's pupils shrank - this is the sign of a drug lord! It's a tank for drug lords!

At this moment, the tank turned to the muzzle and aimed at the "Bull" armored car.

Coincidentally, the armored car had already run to the front of the land, less than 20 meters away!

Seeing the black hole of the tank barrel aiming over, Lu Li's back exploded! The heart is pounding!

When people experience a sudden change in life and death, the brain is overspeeding and the thinking is speeding up, and time will feel that time is slowing down.

At this time, Lu Li suddenly felt that everything around him had slowed down, and even the screams of the crowd were lengthened.

Without saying a word, he stood up and pounced, and fell to the ground with the little flower girl.

In the next second, there was a loud bang, and the tank exploded the armored car with one shot!

The armored vehicle turned into a fireball that rose into the air, and the shock wave was wrapped in all kinds of debris and shot in all directions.

Even small pebbles have the power to penetrate the human body, and countless passers-by suddenly turned into blood gourds and fell to the ground in an uproar.

Although Lu Li lay down in time, the explosion was too close, and he was still shocked and lost his hearing and vision.

He lay on the ground, an eerie silence in his ears, and only a blur in front of him.

In a trance, it seems that I have returned to my hometown, sitting in a classroom with only the sound of flipping books......

Unfortunately, the illusion of warmth was quickly shattered.

Hearing was the first to recover, tinnitus hit like a tidal wave, and Lu Li heard the sound of his own gasping for breath, as well as the crying and screaming of the crowd.

Vision slowed down a step to recover, and the burning and smoking armored vehicles came into view, and the stumps and severed arms all over the ground were scarlet.

Lu Li coughed up a mouthful of petals mixed with gunsmoke, dragged the frightened little girl, and crawled into the snack bar.

As soon as he hid, he heard the vibration of the tank tracks crushing the ground.

Huddle behind thick walls to give a false sense of security.

His head was still buzzing, Lu Li's thoughts diverged, and he suddenly thought of his hometown classmates who he hadn't seen for a long time.

"They're about to take the college entrance exam......

The roar of tanks drove by, followed by the sound of uniform footsteps, and the drug lord's guards pressed up.
