The metaverse, starting with a deadlock

"... At 4 o'clock in the morning today, a large-scale arson and murder occurred in an abandoned warehouse in the suburbs of our city. After the fire was extinguished, a total of six charred corpses were found... After intensive investigation by the police, the suspects were basically locked...

The following is the suspect’s information. His name is Yuan Chao. He is 27 years old and lives in...

This person's methods are cruel, and the case has a bad impact. For this reason, the Binhai City Police issued a reward to the whole society. If any citizen provides useful clues to help the police solve the case, they will have the opportunity to receive 20 cash rewards..."

Opposite the apartment where Yuan Chao lives, a figure with a cloak whose face cannot be seen clearly hides in the shadow of the alley, looking gloomyly at the latest local push news on the mobile phone.

"...Isn't this stupid man too arbitrary? He offered rewards indiscriminately without even investigating clearly. Why do you say that I killed people?"

Gritting his teeth, the figure muttered in a low voice, and looked up at the apartment building where everything seemed to be going on as usual. There is no doubt that if he dared to take half a step, a dozen bounty hunters who had been ambushing for a long time would definitely rush out immediately and knock him down.

"Hey……"

The figure sighed faintly, and pulled off the hood of the cloak irritably, it was Yuan Chao himself.

Yuan Chao leaned against the dirty wall in pain, and looked nostalgicly at the direction of his kennel. The home he had lived in for five or six years could no longer go back...

While no one was paying attention, Yuan Chao put on his hood again and limped away at the end of the alley.

Half an hour later, Yuan Chao appeared in an inaccessible sewer.

Now in Binhai City, only the sewer can provide him with temporary stability. This is the last refuge he prepared for himself.

I don't know why the police are so crazy that they put the death of Bao Yabin and others on his head, ruining Yuan Chao's peaceful life abruptly.

As mentioned earlier, the lower city is mixed with fish and dragons, and the water is very deep. In order to survive, Yuan Chao had to deal with various shady forces, and formed his own unique set of cognitions over time.

Regarding the option of confessing to the police, Yuan Chao had thought about it, but after careful consideration, he still did not dare to take the risk.

There are three reasons:

First, he has no evidence to prove that the deaths of Bao Yabin and others had nothing to do with him.

Second, the evidence of his presence at the scene of the crime is solid.

Third, even if he can explain clearly and the police are willing to believe him, it may be more troublesome than it is now, because what he will face in the future is not the pursuit of the police, but the pursuit of the 'Black Sand Rebels'.

Unless there is a new breakthrough in the case, he will have a solid record of the scapegoat.

It's so fucking nonsense, why should he be blamed for the murder committed by the 'Black Sand Rebels'?Are the poor destined to have no right to decide their own destiny?

Yuan Chao was angry and impatient, and after tossing and tossing all night, he calmed down at this time, tiredness hit him like a tide, Yuan Chao couldn't bear it, and fell asleep while sitting.

When he woke up, it was already eight hours later.

Migung opened his eyes, Yuan Chao felt as if his body had been hollowed out, he had no strength in his body, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his body, and he knew he had a fever without even thinking about it.

Gritting his teeth and struggling to get up, Yuan Chao tremblingly supported the sewer wall and struggled forward.

After a lot of hard work, they finally arrived at the destination, which was the place where Yuan Chao hid his mobile phone and murder weapon before.

Resisting the fainting sensation caused by the loss of strength, Yuan Chao groped for a long time before taking out a package wrapped in waterproof kraft paper from a gap in the wall.

Using all his strength to untie the package, there were a few small pills and a few rolls of bandages inside. Yuan Chao tore open the package of the pills and stuffed them into his mouth, choking him so much that he rolled his eyes.

The Three Caves of the Rabbit, this is the life-saving first aid kit he had prepared in advance, but he did not expect it to come in handy now. Those pills are special anti-inflammatory and painkillers. He obviously has a wound infection and a fever. If he does not treat it as soon as possible, the consequences will be serious.

It wasn't until after taking the pill that Yuan Chao slumped down along the wall like a deflated balloon.

The effect of the medicine began to evaporate, and Yuan Chao felt that his brain was groggy, and his thinking ability became extremely slow.

Yuan Chao forced himself to concentrate on thinking about the road ahead.

He couldn't stay in the current Huaxia Kingdom, and the only result of staying here was not only being arrested by the police, but he might also face the assassination of the 'Black Sand Rebels'.

Don't doubt this possibility, God knows if the 'Black Sand Rebels' will chase him down because he witnessed the incident.

Neither of the two major forces is something he can deal with.

As for clearing up the grievances for myself, let's wait until I live...

So for the current plan, he must find a way to smuggle out of the country.

Fortunately, when he killed the flat-headed man yesterday, he robbed his savings. Otherwise, with Yuan Chao's family background, let alone smuggling out of the country, even if he could leave the city, he would be considered capable.

According to Yuan Chao's understanding, if he wants to smuggle out of the country, there are currently two channels.

One is to find people and snakes to smuggle people by sea, because Binhai City is close to the sea, as long as they leave the waters of Huaxia Kingdom, he will be able to leap into the sea.

Another channel is to go inland and go abroad from the border.

The local environment of Binhai City is very special. It is located in the border area of ​​the country, the south is close to the sea, and the northern mountainous area has an inland border with neighboring countries. This is one of the reasons why crime is rampant here.

But if you want to abscond from the inland, it is more than ten times more difficult than going by sea.

Not to mention the deterrence of the ubiquitous Sky Eye system, the severe and harsh mountainous areas in the south alone are enough to make absconders desperate.

In fact, there is a third option, but Yuan Chao subconsciously abandoned it.

After much consideration, Yuan Chao decided to go by sea.

The plan was made, Yuan Chao couldn't bear it anymore, leaned against the wall and fell into a deep sleep.

……

"...Brother Ming, I have already transferred the money. When will the boat leave?"

"... 3 o'clock in the morning? Okay, then brother, please take care of Brother Ming... By the way, are there any VIP seats?... Increase the price? No problem, I understand the rules, I will transfer it to you later, remember to give it to me Placeholder……"

After Yuan Chao hung up the phone, he looked around for a moment to make sure that no one noticed him, and then carefully returned to the sewer.

Just now he contacted She Zaiming, the leader of the well-known smuggling gang in this city.

Sheziming is a corner of the lower district of Binhai City. Several generations of ancestors have been engaged in the underground business of smuggling people and snakes since the 80s, and they are considered to be the best in this industry.

It's just that although Shezai Ming's family is the oldest, they don't have a good reputation. It is often rumored that he was motivated by money and cheated the guests.

But time was tight, and only She Ziming could arrange for him to go to sea in such a short period of time, so Yuan Chaoming knew that he might be seeking skin from a tiger, so he had to bite the bullet and go for it.

While going out to make a phone call, Yuan Chao bought several large bags of dry food and drinks at the synthetic food vending machine without vending machines.

Going out to sea is like putting your wealth and life in the hands of She Ziming. It is better to prepare some food than to do nothing.

Of course, the payment for food purchases is the anonymous account left by the flat-headed man. Yuan Chao is not that stupid to use his own account. If there is no accident, all the accounts under his name have been monitored by the police.

It was still early before going to sea, and Yuan Chao fell asleep after eating and drinking. The wound on his thigh was a big trouble, and if it was not treated properly, there might be serious sequelae.

We can only wait until it is safe to make plans.

As night fell as expected, Yuan Chao, relying on his familiarity with sewers, shuttled through the unoccupied sewers in fear, and only cautiously went up to the ground when he approached the agreed pier.

At around two o'clock in the morning, a hybrid fishing boat slowly started its engine and was about to sail out to sea.

Snake Ming leisurely set up a table on the pier, which was filled with freshly cooked seafood, ignoring the envious eyes of the passers-by, and was feasting on it.

This table of seafood alone eats up the income of ordinary people for nearly a year, which shows that Shezai has a good income.

A man who secretly swallowed his saliva came to Shezai Ming, bowed his head respectfully and said, "Brother Ming, the boat is ready, do you have any other orders?"

Snake Ming burped comfortably, squinted and smiled, "Have all the guests boarded?"

The subordinate immediately replied, "Except for the one you told me, the rest are already in place."

"That's fine, there's nothing else to do, let's go down." She Ziming said lightly.

Just as his subordinates were about to leave, a fat man ran over panting and said loudly, "Ming, brother Ming, that one is here..."

Snake Boy Ming's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he slapped his thighs and got up, and said with a smile, "What the hell, the distinguished guests come to the door, so I have to go to greet them anyway, come with me!"

Immediately, She Zaiming came down to the landing port with his hands, and a figure in a large cloak stood not far away.

"Hahaha, you are Brother Chao, right? I have admired you for a long time. Thanks to Brother Chao who values ​​our company's business, I will definitely provide Brother Chao with the best service and let Brother Chao spend an unforgettable sea vacation."

A long distance away, She Ziming greeted him with a warm smile.

The man in the cloak was taken aback, as if he hadn't expected Snake Ming to be so enthusiastic, and was just about to say something.

As he approached, She Ziming's face suddenly changed, and he shouted sharply, "What a big dog, I didn't even ask about the relationship between Lao Tzu and Bao Yabin, and made Lao Tzu's sworn brother, and why do you want to ride on Lao Tzu's boat? ? I think you are covered in lard!"

Before the words fell, more than a dozen villains with murder weapons appeared on and off the boat, and immediately surrounded the cloaked man heavily.

The cloaked man was startled suddenly, and tried to turn around and run away, but his way was blocked, and he was restrained by She Ziming's men before long and brought him to the waiting She Ziming.

"Brother, brother, please forgive me~ I am not the super brother you said, someone gave me money and let me take a boat, please don't get me wrong~"

Before She Ziming had time to be happy, the words of the cloaked man immediately surprised him.

Pulling off the hood of the man in the cloak, he turned out to be a middle-aged man full of fear. She Ziming's face suddenly darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Good guy, you're so vigilant, I've misjudged you!"

On the top of an iron tower in the distance, Yuan Chao put down the binoculars with a sullen expression, and his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

Fortunately, I have multiple minds, otherwise I will fall into the trap of She Ziming, and I will really die.

He knew that Bao Yabin's death would not be that simple.

It seems that the way to escape by sea is hopeless...
