"General Tang, I hope you can consider my application more carefully."

In Tang Tianxin's office, Chen Feng said with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

Tang Tianxin stopped tidying up the chessboard and said without question: "Impossible. No one can be injected with genetic fluid twice. It's ridiculous. You are simply going to die, and your death is worthless. Go back."

"I have my own life to decide..."

"No, your life is not just yours. The army has invested more than you can imagine to train you to this point. The educational resources you have enjoyed for free since childhood. The production cost of each of your meals is enough to meet the consumption of an ordinary family in the slums for a week. The wear and tear of the Star Armor used in your daily training, and the operation and maintenance costs of the holographic simulation system..."

Tang Tianxin scolded Chen Feng for a long time, but he returned empty-handed.

Chen Feng returned to the dormitory with his head down and angrily.

After making up his mind, he checked through the personal information system.

The gene fluid transformation technology is indeed popular among the whole people, but at the same time it is firmly in the hands of the military. The distribution and injection of gene fluid are strictly controlled to prevent some people from wanting a second injection.

The application submitted by Chen Feng was rejected without a doubt.

He then found Tang Tianxin again, hoping to enjoy a privilege through the internal system of the military.

He argued that he had not injected gene fluid, but the medical team did not recognize it at all. The appraisal certificate given still stated that he had not only been transformed, but also completed a gene awakening.

So he was still rejected.

The next day, Chen Feng came to Tang Tianxin's office again and applied for discharge, which was also rejected.

If he were still an ordinary private, he could certainly leave at any time, but now he is at the top of the holographic simulation comprehensive evaluation list, and he is the target that countless soldiers look up to and try to catch up with.

He can't leave.

Two months later...

Chen Feng did something that shocked the Snow Mountain Base and all military camps around the world.

After careful planning, he chose to leave the Star Armor on the logistics vehicle after completing the mission perfectly for the first time on his field mission and disappeared without a trace.

He became a deserter.

He made full preparations in these two months, thoroughly understood the military's regulatory system, and practiced his personal survival skills in the wild and his anti-tracking stealth ability to conceal his whereabouts to the extreme.

No matter how hard the military search team tried, and how hard they used life detectors and scanners, they still couldn't find him.

Unknowingly, more than ten days passed, and Chen Feng appeared outside a dilapidated and desolate town.

With the advancement of technology, the advancement of urbanization, and the expansion of space stations, the earth is no longer as crowded as it used to be.

Super-modern fully automatic agricultural machinery is sufficient to fully meet the labor needs of mankind in agriculture, and the agricultural population can also live comfortably in the city, and they can complete farming and harvesting by remotely controlling the machine.

Nowadays, almost all people live in concentrated, highly modernized super-large cities, and the urbanization rate of the population is 100%.

The former town system has long been lost in history.

Most of the towns that still have buildings today exist as cultural relics, and from time to time, city students come here for outings and to admire the relics.

But the town where Chen Feng is located is a little different.

This town is located in Xinjiang Province in the central region.

Xinjiang Province has always been sparsely populated and vast since ancient times, and it is even more empty now.

The town is more than 800 kilometers away from the nearest big city in a straight line.

It should have been completely abandoned, but in reality it is not.

It looks desolate, but it is only the buildings that are old and desolate, not the popularity.

There are many people walking back and forth in the streets and alleys, and it is very lively.

The clothing style of the people here is not as modern as that in the military camps and big cities. There are no single-person vehicles floating in the sky, and old motorcycles and electric vehicles pass by from time to time on the ground.

Only when a large aircraft takes off into the sky on the other side of the town can people be reminded that this is a town in the 30th century.

Behind the mountain on the inside of the town, a large cone-shaped metal object is popping up.

Chen Feng recognized this thing. It is a large-scale propulsion spaceship under construction.

This is the base camp of the escape faction, that is, the explorers.

Free Town.

The logos painted on those large aircraft carrying supplies are several of the world's leading recycling companies.

Chen Feng rubbed his face, which had become stiff due to applying the disguise liquid for too long, swallowed another DNA scanning interference capsule, and walked straight inside.

In addition to the above methods, he also wore a transparent suit that was enough to block neutrino scanning so that his body would not appear on the global neutrino radar.

He did anti-tracking work to the extreme.

You can't blame him for being overly cautious.

The more advanced the technology, the fewer secrets there are under the sun.

Criminals in a broad sense have long disappeared without a trace, and almost no one can escape the pursuit of the army.

In addition to Chen Feng, in the past decade or so, only one person has also accomplished the feat of escaping the military search, and that is Lin Bu, the security captain of this free town.

Lin Bu did not become a deserter as a soldier.

He was a research assistant in a research institute under the Pangu Institute.

His research work was to be studied as a sample.

This had been going on since he was born until he was twelve years old. He managed to escape, and now it has been ten years.

The military pursued him for a while, but in the end, nothing happened.

The people in the town were very welcoming. Even when they saw Chen Feng, a stranger, they did not show any hostility. Instead, they came up to him and chatted with him enthusiastically, trying to let him, an outsider, integrate into the atmosphere of the town as quickly as possible.

Chen Feng booked a hotel room and chatted with passers-by. Then he went to the town tavern and bought a long-lost second pot of soup with the credit points of the World Government.

He sat in a window seat in the tavern and took a sip of the second pot. The spicy taste went into his throat and was particularly refreshing.

He liked this relaxed atmosphere very much.

"Friend, are you here just now? You look very strong. You must have received basic professional military training, right?"

A young man with a handsome face appeared in front of him and sat down, holding a white porcelain bottle of Maotai in his hand.

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes."

"Are you interested in joining our advance team and becoming a warrior?"

the young man asked again.

Chen Feng asked back, "Who are you fighting against?"

"I don't know. We plan to rush to the edge of the solar system and see how it goes. We will do this every ten years, and this should be the last time we try."

The young man shrugged.

Chen Feng thought for a moment, "Do all the fugitives like to die so much?"

"That can't be called dying, that's called fighting for hope."

"You are so enthusiastic towards strangers? Aren't you afraid of military spies?"

The young man curled his lips, "What are you afraid of? Do you really think there is anything new under the sun? They have always known about our existence and what we are going to do."

Chen Feng nodded to show that he understood.

This makes sense.

With the current control of the military, if they really want to wipe out the living space of the fugitives, it will be effortless.

Just like last time, the mother ship was annihilated with one shot.

The military is reluctant to let the elite warriors they have trained crash into the invader's barrier and die in vain.

There are private individuals willing to pay out of their own pockets and contribute their efforts, and there are also people willing to sacrifice their lives to help collect data, and the military is happy to see this happen.

This may be a new mode of cooperation that has evolved rationally under a deformed social system.

At the same time, Chen Feng discovered that the explorers are indeed a little different.

They seem to be loyal followers of Sergei and believe in Sergei's theory, so they force themselves to become more passionate and work harder to live like a real person.

But Chen Feng knows that no matter how hard they try, their essence is still to replace emotions with logic.

It's useless to pretend, the essence is still different.

"Forget about joining your advance team. I have my own plans. Linbu, give me a dose of gene fluid. I owe you a favor."

Chen Feng called out the young man's name.

Linbu slowly leaned back, his expression changing rapidly.

Chen Feng felt very twisted and discordant.

He couldn't imagine what it felt like for a person to decide through thinking that he or she would make different expressions.

"Captain Chen Feng, you are such a joker."

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

"Favor? What are you going to do us a favor with? Do you know what the military's wanted warrant for you says?"

"What does it say?"

"Your value alone is equivalent to a battleship."

Chen Feng shrugged. "So cheap. I thought I was worth more."

"Don't interrupt. The military is turning a blind eye to us now, but if I give you a dose of gene fluid and let you die here, the military will definitely take action because we have caused them heavy losses. This is the last launch of the Explorer spacecraft, and I will not allow any accidents to happen."

As Lin Bu gradually expressed his views, more and more people in the tavern slowly stood up.

Many people also quietly put their hands on their waists, with their fingers on the phase particle guns.

Chen Feng remained calm, "So, what do you mean?"

"If you are willing to join the advance team, our people will find a way to help you get your identity. But if you want the genetic fluid, I have to capture you and send you back to the military, so that I can at least exchange you for some bonuses and resources. Action!"

In an instant, Chen Feng and more than 20 people in the tavern, including Lin Bu, jumped up at the same time.

Chen Feng's figure turned into a ghost, flashing suddenly.

He moved left and right, up and down.

Each of his punches was powerful.

He exerted his strong body that could withstand 50g acceleration to the extreme.

Coupled with his well-trained fighting skills, except for Lin Bu, no one in the tavern could match him.

These people couldn't aim at all, Chen Feng's speed was too fast and his skills were too sophisticated.

Chen Feng perfectly explained to these half-baked warriors in the escape faction what it meant to be the strongest ace elite in the entire army.

Thirty seconds later, in the huge tavern, the fake customers fell to the ground, all knocked unconscious.

The bodies of the bartenders and bartenders were hanging on the walls or beams, groaning and struggling.

Lin Bu's hands were hanging limply, and all the weapons on his body had been removed by Chen Feng.

Chen Feng kicked Lin Bu in the chest again, causing him to fly backwards and smash countless tables and chairs.

"I wanted to have a good talk with you guys, asking for one or buying one. But since you didn't give me a chance, you can't blame me for snatching it away."

Lin Bu, who was lying in the debris, struggled to get up, his face full of disbelief, "Impossible! I am at least an S-class warrior in your evaluation system, the gap between us can't be that big!"

Chen Feng threw down a sentence, "A slight difference can lead to a huge mistake. Farewell."

After saying this, he flashed out, left the tavern, and headed straight for the back hills of Liberty Town.

He didn't kill anyone.

In his opinion, these people were quite respectable, just a little weak.
