Zhou Jinru's face was hidden in the darkness. He couldn't sleep, so he sat on the bedside, holding Louisa in his arms.
The incident at Chernobog's research institute happened so quickly. Sir Boris had been eyeing the research results early on, but as the director, Kelsey didn't say a word to her. Is it because she thought she could handle it? come over?
Louisa, this child will be Yaye twenty years later.
Zhou Jinru didn't recognize it at first, but now, he figured it out no matter how slow his reaction speed was.
They will have to find a way out of the city by tomorrow morning at the latest.
After a cold night, it was still dark, so Zhou Jinru pushed the little girl to wake up.
Little Louisa murmured in her sleep: "Mom..."
When she woke up, she found that the surroundings were dark and the person next to her was not her mother Lilia.
"Hey Luisa, don't sleep anymore, uncle has something important to say."
Zhou Jinru could sense the little girl's panic and tried to comfort her: "Uncle will take you to find your mother. You must be obedient."
"Where is my mother?"
"Uncle doesn't know either, but do you remember the resort you went to with your parents? It's a small village outside Chernobog. Let's go there first. Maybe Lilia will wait for us there."
Although Louisa is very young, she neither cries nor makes trouble, which makes Zhou Jinru happy but also uneasy.
She should be distressed, that's her prerogative.
"Get ready, we'll leave right away."
In fact, they didn't have many things to pack. Zhou Jinru picked out the things in the suitcase that could be taken away, threw away the rest, and found an old hat from the corner of the shed. The wide brim almost covered the Little Louisa's face was completely covered.
Before leaving, he wrapped a hemp rope around his right arm.
He put on his backpack, took Louisa's hand, gently opened the door of the shack, and walked into the night. They would probably never come back here again.
At three o'clock in the morning, the slums were quiet, and occasionally a few coughs could be heard. The poor people huddled at home, trying their best to use their body temperature to survive the cold night.
Zhou Jinru has walked through it several times and probably remembers the way. If they want to leave the city, they must pass through the security checkpoint. If Sir Boris is ready to kill everyone, then most of the exits from Chernobog must be full of people, waiting for them. Throw yourself into a trap.
However, there is one place that will be an exception, and that is the entrance and exit of the Originium crude mine in the slums.
Chernobog has accumulated a large amount of source mineral raw materials. It is unknown what they are used for. Due to the inertia of thinking, vehicles frequently enter and exit the security checkpoints, making it impossible to adopt strict interrogation measures.
What Zhou Jinru has to fight now is the time difference. When the slums react, they may have to fight their way out if they want to leave.
"No matter what happens, hold your uncle tightly, close your eyes, don't look, and don't pay attention to other sounds."
"Um."
Little Louisa nodded obediently.
Zhou Jinru felt that he and the child were quite destined.
He walked quickly through an old street with the little girl. It was dark and there were more people around.
Suddenly, I found a large group of people gathered in front of me, most of whom were workers in shabby clothes. The smell of cigarettes and the sound of coughing were mixed together.
"Sir Boris's bounty. Anyone who catches the person on the bounty poster, regardless of life or death, will receive one thousand empire coins."
"One thousand empire coins, can't I leave this hellish place now?!"
"Hahaha, just dream about it. How did you get Sir Sir's reward?"
The crowd burst into laughter.
Zhou Jinru took a look from a distance and saw that the portrait on the reward poster was that of an adult man, wearing a mask with only his chin exposed.
When he went out, he deliberately took off his mask and put on a pair of black plastic-framed glasses as a disguise. Based on the stereotype of Ursans, he would probably not associate his current appearance with the appearance in the portrait.
The two people left quickly and stood at a crossroads. Zhou Jinru was trying to figure out the direction. Suddenly, a group of soldiers wearing black guard cotton uniforms hurried over and checked the people around them one by one.
"Why did it come so fast?!"
Zhou Jinru was slightly surprised. The guard arrived several hours faster than he expected.
Soon, two guards came over with sharp knives and pushed the workers along the way. They found Zhou Jinru with his child.
Because in this shabby place, he was so tall and thin that he stood out like a chicken.
"You, turn around."
Zhou Jinru lowered his head slightly and turned around reluctantly. The two guards looked at the wanted notice in their hands and compared his face with vigilance in their eyes.
One of the guards calmly pressed his hand on the rubber roller at his waist. His action naturally caught Zhou Jinru's eyes. This was a very dangerous signal.
Suddenly, Zhou Jinru raised his fist and hit it directly on the bridge of the nose of the nearest guard, causing blood to flow out of his nostrils.
Before the other person could shout, Zhou Jinru kicked him in the stomach again, knocking him down instantly.
Without saying a word, the tall and lanky man picked up Louisa and crawled into the alley on the side of the road.
"Catch him! Catch the fugitive!"
"Sir Sir, I'm offering a reward of one thousand empire coins!"
"Stop, don't run!"
Zhou Jinru didn't care much. He jumped over the pile of debris, grabbed the baskets on both sides with both hands and pushed them to the ground to block the pursuers behind him.
After running for nearly two hundred meters, they saw a dead end in front of them and a wall blocking the way.
He quickly untied the hemp rope on his right arm and tied Louisa and himself together one by one.
The little girl hugged him tightly, her body trembling slightly.
"Don't be afraid, uncle will definitely take you to find your mother."
Zhou Jinru looked back at the pursuers dozens of meters away, activated his subjective time delay with all his strength, took three steps and then two steps, and ran to the wall, kicked off the wall with one foot, rose into the air, and grabbed it with ten fingers. He climbed over the two-meter-high wall.
But a shrill alarm sounded behind him, which meant that all the surrounding guards would be attracted.
He had no time to think as he walked through the slums, looking for a way out.
"Quick, it's him, catch him!"
In the narrow alley, several guards rushed over, and everyone had knives shining in their hands.
Sir Boris's reward is regardless of life or death. You can complete the task by killing the person and bringing him back, so why should you capture him alive?
There is only a dead end for everyone!
Zhou Jinru took a breath and rushed towards the enemy with a cold expression.
After a few steps, they bumped into each other!
