General Camp, I hope you will consider my application more carefully.
In Nora Camps office, Harrison rk stood with his hands behind his back and his chest puffed out as he spoke.
Nora Camp stopped arranging the chessboard and said without a doubt, Impossible. No one can have a gene injection twice. Its absurd. Youre just causing your death, a death without any value. Go back.
I should decide my own fate
No, your life is not just yours. The army has invested unimaginable resources to train you to this point. The free educational resources youve enjoyed since childhood. The cost of producing each meal for you is enough to meet the consumption of an ordinary family in a slum for a week. The wear and tear on the Summit Armor you use daily for training, as well as the operation and maintenance costs of the Holographic Simtion System
Nora Camp rebuffed Harrison rk for a long time, causing him to return empty-handed.
Harrison rk returned to his dormitory feeling dejected.
After making up his mind earlier, he had consulted the personal information system.
Gene modification technology was indeed widely avable to the public, but it was tightly controlled by the military. The distribution and injection of gene fluids were strictly controlled to prevent some people from recklessly trying to get a second injection.
As expected, Harrison rks application was rejected.
He then approached Nora Camp, hoping to enjoy a special privilege through the militarys internal system,
He tried to argue that he had never had a gene injection, but the medical team didnt buy it. Their assessment still showed that he had not only undergone a modification but alsopleted a gene awakening.
So, he was rejected again.
The next day, Harrison rk returned to Nora Camps office and submitted an application for retirement, which was also refused.
If he was still an ordinary soldier, he could have left at will. However, now he topped the Holographic Simtion Systemsprehensive evaluation ranking and was the target that countless fighters looked up to and strove to catch up with.
He couldnt leave.
Two months passed
Harrison rk did something that shocked the ck Bear Training Base and all military camps worldwide.
After meticulous nning, he went on his first field mission. Upon perfectlypleting the mission, he chose to leave his Summit Armor on the supply vehicle and disappeared without a trace.
He became a deserter.
Over the past two months, he had made full preparations, thoroughly understood the militarys monitoring system, and honed his ability to survive in the wild and conceal his trail to the extreme.
No matter how hard the dispatched search teams tried, they couldnt find him even with the help of life detectors and scanners.
Unknowingly, more than ten days passed, and Harrison rk appeared outside a dpidated and deserted small town.
With the advancement of technology, urbanization, and the expansion of space stations, the Earth was no longer as crowded as it used to be.
Highly modernized farming machinery could fully meet humanbor demands, agriculture poption couldfortably live in cities and remotely control machines for cultivation and harvesting.
Almost everyone lived inrge, centralized, and highly modernized mega-cities. The urbanization rate was 100 percent.
The small-town system of the past had long been consigned to history.
Now, small towns that still had buildings mostly existed as cultural relics, and city students woulde there for sightseeing and admiring the ancient sites on their trips.
But the small town Harrison rk was in was different.
This town was located in the sgow province of the Pacific region.
Since ancient times, sgow has been vast and sparsely popted, and now it seemed even more vast and empty.
The town was more than 800 kilometers away from the nearest big city in a straight line.
Logically, this ce should have beenpletely abandoned, but it was not the case.
It seemed deste, but only the buildings were old and abandoned, not the towns atmosphere.
There were quite a few people walking around the streets and alleys, making the ce quite lively.
The clothing styles here were not as modern as those in the military camps and big cities, and there were no floating vehicles in the sky. Instead, asionally, old motorcycles and electric bikes passed by on the ground.
Only when arge flying vehicle took off from the other side of the town could people realize that this was a small town in the 30th century.
Behind the mountain on the side of the town, a cone-shaped metal structure emerged.
Harrison rk recognized this thing as an under-constructionrge propent spaceship.
This was the base of the escapees, also known as explorers.
Freedom Town.
The logos painted on therge flying vehicles carrying supplies belonged to several leading resource recyclingpanies worldwide.
Harrison rk rubbed his stiff face from wearing the disguise gel for too long, swallowed a DNA scanning interference capsule, and walked straight in.
Apart from the above measures, he was also wearing a transmission suit that could block neutrino scanning and prevent his body shape from appearing on the global neutrino radar.
He had taken his anti-tracking efforts to the extreme.
Its not that he was overly cautious.
The more advanced the technology, the fewer secrets one could keep.
Criminals, in a broader sense, had long disappeared, and hardly anyone could escape the militarys pursuit.
Except for Harrison rk, only one person had managed to escape the militarys manhunt in the past ten years, Needham Brown, the security chief of Freedom Town.
Needham Brown didnt desert the military as a soldier.
He was a research assistant in a research institute subordinate to the Ancient Civilization Research Institute.
His research work involved being a subject for study.
From his birth until he was twelve, he was studied like this. But then he managed to escape, and ten years had passed since then.
The military briefly pursued him but eventually let the matter go.
The people in the town were very friendly. Even when they saw Harrison rk, a new face, they didnt show any hostility. Instead, they approached him and chatted warmly with him, trying to help him blend into the town atmosphere as quickly as possible.
Harrison rk settled into an inn, chatted casually with the passers-by, and then went to the towns tavern to buy some Vodka using the World Governments credit points.
He sat by the window in the tavern, took a sip of Vodka, and its spicy taste went down his throat, making him feel incredibly refreshed.
He liked this rxed atmosphere very much.Friend, are you new here? You look strong, have you received basic professional military training?
A young man with a delicate face appeared in front of him and sat down, holding a white porcin bottle of Maotai in his hand.
Harrison rk nodded, Yes.
Are you interested in joining our vanguard and bing a warrior?
The young man asked again.
Harrison rk counter-questioned, Who are we fighting against?
I dont know, we n to rush to the edge of the sr system and deal with whateveres. Every ten years, we do this once, and this should be thest attempt.
The young man shrugged.
Harrison rk thought for a moment, Do all the fugitives love courting death?
Its not courting death, its striving for hope.
Are you all so enthusiastic about strangers? Arent you afraid of the militarys spies?
The young man sneered, Whats there to be afraid of? Do you really think theres anything new under the sun? Theyve always known about our existence and know what were going to do.
Harrison rk nodded, indicating he understood.
That made sense.
With the current military control, if they really want to wipe out the space for the fugitives, it wouldnt take any effort.
Just likest time, one shot from the Main Ship, and all turned to ashes.
The military is reluctant to let the elite fighters they have cultivated die in vain by crashing into the Invader Barrier.
Here, there are private individuals willing to put in their own money and effort, along with others willing to risk their lives to help collect data. The military is happy to see that.
This may be a new form of cooperation that has evolved and reasonably emerged under the distorted social system.bender
At the same time, Harrison rk also found that the crowd of explorers was indeed different.
They seemed to be loyal followers of Sergey, believing in Sergeys theory, so they forced themselves to be more enthusiastic and live like real human beings.
But Harrison rk knew that no matter how hard they tried, their true nature was still to rece emotions with logic.
No matter how much they pretended, essentially they remained different.
I wont join your vanguard, I have my own ns. Needham Brown, give me one gene serum, and Ill owe you a favor.
Harrison rk directly called out the young mans name.
Needham Brown slowly leaned back, his expressions changing rapidly.
Harrison rk felt twisted and ufortable.
He couldnt imagine what it would feel like for someone to decide to make different expressions through their thoughts.
Captain rk, you really know how to joke.
Do I look like Im joking?
A favor? What can you use to repay us? Do you know what the militarys arrest warrant says about you right now?
What does it say?
Your value alone is equivalent to a battlecruiser.
Harrison rk shrugged, Thats so cheap, I thought I would be worth more.
Dont try to change the subject. The military is turning a blind eye to us now, but if I give you a gene serum and let you die here, they will definitely take action because weve caused them a major loss. This is thest time the explorer spaceship will beunched, and I wont allow any idents to happen.
As Needham Brown made his stance clearer, more and more people in the tavern slowly stood up.
Many of them quietly put their hands on their waists, their fingers resting on the phase particle guns.
Harrison rk remained calm, So, what do you mean?
If youre willing to join the vanguard, our people will find a way to help you fix your identity. But if you want the gene serum, Ill have to capture you and send you back to the military so I can at least get some reward and resources. Attack!
In an instant, Harrison rk and over twenty people in the tavern, including Needham Brown, burst into action.
Harrison rks figure turned into a ghostly shadow, shing back and forth.
He darted left and right, up and down.
Every punch he threw was heavy and powerful.
He pushed his body, capable of withstanding 50G eleration, to the limit.
With his well-honed fighting skills, no one in the tavern was a match for him except Needham Brown.
These people couldnt even aim because Harrison rk was too fast and skilled.
Harrison rk perfectly demonstrated to these semi-skilled fugitive fighters what the strongest ace elite in the military looked like.
Thirty secondster, therge tavern was filled with counterfeit customers lying unconscious on the floor.
The bartender and the bar workers groaned and struggled, hanging on walls or beams.
Needham Browns hands hung weakly, his weapons long disarmed by Harrison rk.
Harrison rk kicked Needham Brown squarely in the chest, sending him flying backwards and smashing countless tables and chairs.
I originally wanted to have a nice chat and ask for or buy a gene serum. But since you didnt give me a chance, you cant me me for stealing it.
Needham Brown, lying in the pile of debris, struggled to his feet, disbelief all over his face, Impossible! Im at least an S-ss fighter in your assessment system; our difference shouldnt be this big!
Harrison rk left a remark, A little difference can create a huge error. Goodbye.
With that, he dashed out of the tavern, heading straight for the back mountain of Freedom Town.
He didnt kill anyone.
In his opinion, these people were quite respectable, just a little weaker..
