backtracking dawn

Qu Xiao gradually fell asleep with suffocation and sleepiness. After traveling to another world, Qu Xiao did not forget his previous plan.

Leaving this base was an imminent matter, but before that, he still needed to think carefully about how to get rid of such strict control and escape as secretly as possible.

The first thing you need to do to plan all this is to become thoroughly familiar with the surrounding terrain.

As a guard, Qu Xiao had the prototype of the entire base in his mind. It was an asymmetrical building with a large internal structure and multiple floors.

The floor he is currently on is the floor with the largest area and most facilities and functions in the entire base. Not only does it have a flow of people of all levels, but it also has a large number of containment rooms and various dangerous containment objects.

Due to the complex mobility of people, this floor does not have external exits, and all passages to other floors are concentrated in special controlled areas. With Qu Xiao's current security level, let alone the use of

With these channels, even if he comes into contact, he has no chance.

I have been to the controlled area once before, and there are countless Level 2 personnel with guns and ammunition inside. If you really want to force your way in, I am afraid that you will be shot to pieces by those heavily armed guys before you reach the entrance of the passage.

The only option right now is to find another way out, but in Qu Xiao's impression, there doesn't seem to be any other rooms on this floor that are connected to the outside world.

In this way, the escape plan has reached a deadlock.

However, Qu Xiao has always loved thinking. Even if he encounters a problem that seems unsolvable, he is not ready to give up easily. In fact, he is not particularly clear about the topography of this level of the base in his mind, so he can do it objectively.

Inferring, Qu Xiao thinks that there may be many omissions in his memory.

And in these missing locations, there may be a way to escape!

What he has to do now is to carefully explore the terrain on this level. Although he may not be able to find any hope of breaking the situation, at least he won't feel like he is sitting back and waiting for death.

Opening the door and walking out of the room, there were already people active in the Eye Blood Squad Square, but after seeing him, no one continued to express their opinions on yesterday's incident. Qu Xiao didn't know whether everyone had forgotten about it because of T03, or simply didn't want to be with him.

He wastes too much time talking.

There is nothing Qu Xiao can do about his teammates who have been brainwashed. He really does not dare to tell these people the truth without permission. Without knowing the extent of the brainwashing effect of T03 drug, it is best for him to do nothing.

decision making.

Keeping constant in the face of ever-changing situations, Qu Xiao left the square as if nothing had happened and walked to the corridor outside. He decided to use this as an axis to divide several areas for exploration.

The work after that became very boring. Memorizing the details of each small area, Qu Xiao even memorized the number of partitions in the toilet. The reason why he remembered such details was mainly for the subsequent drawing. Since everything was based on

With his life as a bet, he must make every detail in preparing for this escape plan.

After jotting down pictures during the day and drawing at night, Qu Xiao returned to his bedroom early after a busy day and began to use paper to outline all the places he recorded that day. He also marked the details of each place, such as the location of the ventilation ducts.

, and how many screws are embedded in the baffles of these pipes.

After drawing a day's exploration of the location, it was already late at night. Qu Xiao quickly hid the drawings, then lay down on the bed and began to change the world.

When he woke up from his dream, it was daytime in the real world. He could see the sun in the sky while lying under the bridge. The hot feeling pushed him up from the ground like a sauna.

Subconsciously he stretched his waist. This night's sleep was quite comfortable for Qu Xiao. The deep sleep after traveling through another world greatly improved his rest efficiency. Although the wheel on the conscious level kept turning, Qu Xiao couldn't help but feel comfortable.

Xiao's mental state has been fully rested.

After stretching his muscles, Qu Xiao was ready to withdraw money from the old man as he said last night. He had never been a person who broke his word. Although he felt that the old man was despicable and bullied him with his skills, Qu Xiao did not

The idea of ​​reneging on the debt, after all, the card game at that time had agreed to it, so it was just money to buy a lesson.

Thinking in his mind, Qu Xiao put his hand into his pocket. Because he needed an i-pen to withdraw money, he wanted to take out the i-pen first.

However, you don't know if you don't touch it. As soon as you touch it, Qu Xiao's expression suddenly changes. The originally bulging pockets are now empty. The i-pen placed in it disappeared together with the old man last night!

Damn it——

It was stolen!

The reaction came to his mind instantly, and Qu Xiao jumped up from the ground in anger!

After observing the sun to judge the time, he calmly speculated that the old man would not be able to go very far at this point.

Chase!

Qu Xiao immediately ran to the street. It was early in the morning, and the twilight light in the air had not completely dissipated. Many shops were not open yet, and there were few people and cars on the street. You could see the end at a glance.

Qu Xiao quickly looked around, but did not see the old man. He carefully recalled the scene when he met the old man last night. He still vaguely remembered that the latter had a snakeskin bag in his hand...

No, no, this information is useless!

Dispelling this meaningless detail from his mind, Qu Xiao then entered his mind palace to search for more detailed memories. He quickly thought of the smell of the old man, except that he had not taken a bath for a long time.

In addition to the stinky smell, there seems to be something else mixed in...

By the way! It smells like smoke!

Qu Xiao slapped his forehead and he finally remembered!

Cigarettes, this guy is probably going to buy cigarettes!

After thinking about the street he passed while strolling last night, Qu Xiao suddenly ran and went straight to the cigarette stall on the corner at the other end of the street!

When regular shops like this are not open, only vendors setting up stalls are willing to get up early in the morning to earn some hard money. If the old man wants to buy cigarettes, the only choice in this area is there!

As expected, Qu Xiao really saw the old man's figure beside the cigarette stall.

The latter was about to hand the i-pen to the vendor to exchange for cigarettes. When Qu Xiao saw this, he immediately shouted to stop him: "Wait a minute -"

Hearing the shouting, the two of them turned their heads subconsciously. Then the old man saw Qu Xiao rushing forward. He didn't have time to think about it. He grabbed the i-pen and turned around to run away. Qu Xiao immediately changed direction when he saw this.

Immediately afterwards, an old man and a young man started a life-threatening chase on the long street in the early morning!

To say that this old man's physique is really not bad, even if Qu Xiao has the blessing of black stone, his movement speed is not much faster than this old man. The most important thing is that this old man's familiarity with the surrounding terrain can be described as "memorizing it like a stream"

, if Qu Xiao didn’t have the help of black stone energy, it would be a complete fantasy to chase him.

In the end, Qu Xiao stopped the old man in an alley. The guy wanted to run away, but Qu Xiao kicked him hard and knocked him to the ground. Seeing that he had completely lost the initiative, the old man had no choice but to give up resistance.

Panting heavily, he looked at Qu Xiao, his eyes filled with unspeakable shock.

"What a boy... you can really run..." While adjusting his breathing as he was on the verge of sudden death, the old man raised his hand and praised, "However, the main reason why you can catch up with me is because my age is no longer an advantage. If it were ten years ago,

Years ago, I could at least run two miles away and get rid of you..."

"Even if you run two more miles, I can still catch up with you..." Qu Xiao's face didn't look very good, because he was not familiar with the use of the black stone's power. He mainly relied on his own physical strength for running.

But he still had to say the harsh words. Looking at the old man collapsed on the ground, Qu Xiao smiled mockingly and sat down next to the latter. He didn't need to restrain the latter's actions for the time being, because

Based on the state the old man is showing right now, he probably won't be able to make a fuss for a while.

"It's true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead..." the old man sighed, "I originally developed this good speed because I was being chased for my life. I didn't expect that now, I can even run away from a kid who is trying to catch a thief.

But it’s too much…”

Qu Xiao smiled, "You also know that you are a thief..."

"Hey, didn't I just steal an i-pen from you? As for chasing me to this extent? You have to be merciful. Boy, you owed me more than 100 yuan last night, and I didn't even look for you.

Do you want it?"

"One thing comes back to another." Qu Xiao said as he took back his i-pen from the old man's hand, "I said I would pay you back the money I owed you, but you came to get it secretly, and the nature has changed.

.Do you know how important the things in this i-pen are to me? The contract I signed with great difficulty yesterday was almost ruined by you!"

"Contract? Is it valuable?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Qu Xiao rolled his eyes and was too lazy to elaborate with the old man, "You should think carefully about how to explain the theft to me now. If you can't explain the reason, don't blame me for being incompetent.

Eye."

"I'm just a cigarette addict, and I want to find some money to exchange for some cigarettes..." The old man muttered with an aggrieved look on his face, "The loose money you lost to me yesterday was too little, and I can't afford good cigarettes, so I was thinking about taking your i

-Pen go and change..."

"It's a good cigarette, but you still want to smoke a good cigarette like this?!" The corner of Qu Xiao's mouth twitched, "I think you might not even be able to eat enough..."

The old man was unconvinced when he heard this and argued: "Then you who sleep in a bridge don't go and sign some contract! People can't be judged by their appearance, and sea water can't be measured. I have some pursuits in life, so what?"

"Okay, okay." Qu Xiao didn't want to talk nonsense with the old man, "I believe your reason for now, but no matter what, you shouldn't steal my things. Even if I owe you money, you should wait.

We'll discuss it after I get up..."

"Okay, okay, you don't need to continue talking, I admit defeat!" The old man waved his hand and interrupted, "Even a person of my level can't understand the truth. Anyway, I am poor and useless. If you want to kill or cut into pieces, you

Let’s figure it out!”
