Chapter 97 One Night
Although caught off guard, the black shadow reacted quickly. He lowered his body and almost slid along the ground. Then he pushed himself against the ground and nimbly jumped up to grab Rong Yuan's wrist. His whole body was almost pressed against him, and his soft body was filled with the coolness of the night and the smell of gunpowder.
Rong Yuan felt a tingling sensation on his back and was about to take action when he suddenly heard a light laugh.
“It’s a quick response.”
A familiar voice, it's Baoer.
Rong Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and his tense body relaxed. Bao Er suddenly grabbed his shoulders and pulled him, and they both rushed to the closet at the same time. I don't know what she did, but a secret door opened silently on the ground, and they both rolled in. When the secret door closed, Rong Yuan saw a huge flame burst through the wall and rushed in, and the broken bricks and stones shot out like bullets.
His body fell to the ground with a "bang". Rong Yuan groaned, and Baoer pressed on him again. It was like he was hit by a sledgehammer and he almost couldn't breathe.
"Sorry." Baoer said, got up and fumbled for a while, and then with a "click", soft light poured down from the top of his head, illuminating the entire dark room.
Rong Yuan rubbed the place where her tooth hurt, and sat up after a while. This room was unexpectedly large, about half the size of the courtyard above his head. There were several tall shelves against the wall, each of which was filled with boxes, and no one knew what was inside. On Rong Yuan's right hand, a piece of cloth was used to cover the things inside.
"Are you okay?" Baoer said, stretching out his hand to him.
Rong Yuan looked at her for a while before he stretched out his hand, slowly took her hand and helped her stand up. He hesitated for a moment and said, "You..."
With a few "thumps", several more people fell from the hole in the roof like dumplings, including the uncle Geng Rongyuan had met before. However, their postures when they came down were much more elegant, at least no one fell.
One of the freckled boys who looked less than 20 years old jumped up as soon as he landed, and jumped to a corner of the room like a monkey, and pulled off the cloth, revealing five or six display screens hanging on the wall and a bunch of electronic instruments, operation panels and other things below. He turned on the power, and the display screens lit up one by one muttered something while his fingers jumped quickly on the operation panel.
On the green screen, a dozen people with light green spots on their bodies were hunched over and jogging cautiously. Suddenly, a few bright lights like fireworks flashed, and all these people fell to the ground. The brighter marks that suddenly appeared on the ground were probably the blood they spurted out.
The boy whistled, his face glowing and his eyes focused, just like a normal teenager obsessed with video games.
Rong Yuan suddenly realized that the boy was probably operating the weapon system on the ground, and those who were knocked down were the invaders outside. It was the first time he saw such a killing - quiet, silent, simple and cruel.
His fingers moved slightly, his expression looked calm and focused, as if he had no idea what the freckled boy was doing.
At least no one in this dark room could have imagined that Rong Yuan was eager to try it out. He did not think this scene was cruel or bloody, but rather - it looked very interesting.
Where Rong Yuan couldn't see, Baoer and Uncle Geng were arguing in low voices in the corner.
"Why did you bring him in? Is this a place where ordinary people can come in?" Uncle Geng said angrily.
Bao Er raised his eyebrows: "What else can we do? Let him wait to die outside? Do you think those people will say to him, 'What? You have nothing to do with them? So that's how it is... Well, it's none of your business, go away', and then let him walk out of this yard in one piece?"
Uncle Geng was so angry at her that his short beard almost stood up. He said, "We haven't completely ruled out the suspicion of this student. If he came with bad intentions..."
"Then what can I do? Just give up because of a possibility with extremely low probability? He saved my life!" Baoer said angrily. Considering that Rong Yuan was still beside her, she tried hard not to raise her voice.
"How many people have you seen die so far? What does it matter if one more or one less?" Uncle Geng said.
Baoer's face turned pale and he said, "Because there are already enough people dead, we should do our best to save them when we can, right?"
Uncle Geng was choked by her. He actually had countless arguments, but he also knew that he could not convince this stubborn girl. The difference between them was the indifference to people and things accumulated over a long time and countless experiences, and the difference between being in the best stage of life and having more needs and higher yearnings for things like human moral ideals. He was stubborn, and Baoer would be even more stubborn than him. At this time, getting into a quarrel without a conclusion would be the biggest mistake.
So Uncle Geng took a step back and said unhappily, "Forget it. You can handle the people you brought with you yourself. Just deal with this wave first."
Bao Er no longer insisted, curled his lips and said, "Okay."
There were three other young men in the room, one was very fat, one was as thin as a bamboo pole, and the other was handsome, but his face was full of expressions like "Don't bother me!" and "I'm annoying!", and he looked the most difficult to get along with. The three of them had some injuries on their bodies, bandaged each other's wounds, rested for a while, and drank some water.
In such a short time, several of the firing points controlled by the freckled boy were destroyed by the enemy. Although many people died, the battle line was still gradually advancing. In the rainstorm, it was not very clear to see the movements and figures , but Rong Yuan felt that the enemy's attacking posture had no hesitation or fear. Even if half of his body was blown off, he could still crawl forward a few steps with his intestines before dying.
Baoer and Uncle Geng opened a few boxes on the shelf, and the lids nailed together with wooden pieces were thrown aside. The three young men gathered around and took out some things from them - guns and ammunition of different models, bombs that looked like black buttons, and many other things that Rong Yuan could not recognize at all.
The most exaggerated one was the fat young man. Rong Yuan saw him carry out something like an astronomical telescope from a large wooden box, and then take out several large warheads and put them beside him.
Rong Yuan suddenly remembered that he had seen the object before. He had seen it in the news at a military parade in the Nut Country last year. It was the latest single-soldier rocket launcher developed by the Nut Country. It was easy to operate, and the tail spray did not hurt anyone. It had great destructive power and accuracy against the target, and was currently among the most advanced in the world.
Rong Yuan began to worry - such a place would never exist in the Sugar Country, where gun control is extremely strict. He had seen so much, and the possibility of being silenced had greatly increased.
The small safety hammer did not give him any sense of security. However, Rong Yuan still put it in the most accessible position so that he could easily reach it.
"Do you know how to use it?" Baoer asked, handing him a gun upside down.
Rong Yuan shook his head.
"Come, I'll teach you. If they attack later, you must be able to protect yourself." Baoer pulled him aside and sat him down against the wall. He taught him how to use the guns in his hand, and also taught him how to load magazines and assemble them.
After listening to it, Rong Yuan took it, disassembled it, reassembled it, loaded it with bullets, turned on the safety, and aimed. His movements were all done in one smooth motion. Although a little slow, he did not make any mistakes.
Baoer was stunned for a while, then asked, "Tell me the truth, have you ever learned this before?"
"No."
She frowned and looked at his expression. After a moment, Baoer's shoulders slumped. "Then tell me honestly, how are your grades in school?"
Rong Yuan glanced at her sideways, his eyes clearly showing - is there anything else to say?
Baoer really wants to grab his head and rub it, this poor kid is so hateful!
…
However, the situation was not so bad that Rong Yuan, who was holding a gun for the first time, needed to go into battle. When the morning star rose, the sound of gunfire suddenly ended.
After a few minutes, large patches of dark clouds broke apart, revealing scattered starlight behind them. Water drops slid off the leaves, and the plants in the yard that had been hit by the rain all night also perked up, with green vitality flowing through their veins.
The people who had been tormented in the dark room all night were also refreshed and ran out with joy on their faces, shouting, "Miss, Mr. Yan, you are back!"
Rong Yuan didn't really understand what was going on. But Bao Er was the first to run out, and he had no place to ask, and in the blink of an eye he was left at the end. He walked up the steps, opened the door, and saw the two people standing in the middle of the yard.
A girl with the same appearance as Baoer, but a completely different feeling. If Baoer is like an elf that has fallen into the mortal world, then she is like a fairy who really stands in the sky. Baoer chatters beside her, and she listens silently, but everyone's eyes are on her.
A tall and handsome man stood beside her, his body as straight as a sword, his expression cold. With a glance, everyone lowered their heads, as if they were in awe of this man.
In fact, there were a dozen or so people in the yard, all in their thirties, all with tough faces, and most of them were good-looking. But everyone seemed to ignore their existence, even Rong Yuan was no exception.
In addition, the bodies of the invaders were piled on the ground. When they were about to break into the secret room, these people rushed over in time and killed all the enemies without leaving a single one. At this time, they cleaned the yard at a very fast speed, and soon all the bodies disappeared; after another ten minutes, the damaged walls, the big pits on the ground, the broken glass, stones and blood on the ground disappeared. In less than half an hour, the walls were repaired and new glass was installed in the windows. A person took a spray bottle and sprayed in the yard for a while, and the smell of gunpowder filled the nose disappeared, replaced by a kind of water vapor mixed with the fragrance of soil and plants.
Rong Yuan watched them clean up the messy battlefield in an incredibly short time, restoring the yard to the way they saw it yesterday. No matter how many things were piled up in the house, at least there were no obvious flaws on the surface. If a neighbor came to visit at this time, he would definitely not see any difference between the yard and yesterday, and would not think of what happened here last night.
Most importantly, it seemed like he could go back.
"Really?" Rong Yuan blinked and couldn't help asking again.
Baoer, who came to inform him of the news, smiled and said jokingly, "It's rare to see you so still - what, don't you want to leave?"
"No." Rong Yuan was still a little confused and said, "It's just..."
"I know, it's too sudden, isn't it?" Baoer nodded in understanding. They all thought Rongyuan would need to stay here for several days. She said, "Most of the enemies were dealt with by the eldest lady and Mr. Yan. Although there were a few that escaped, all the people who knew you were dead. So you are no longer in danger and can go home."
"...That's good." Rong Yuan thought for a while and asked, "Are you and the young lady just now twins?" They look so similar, but their status is obviously different. Rong Yuan couldn't help but think about it.
"Ah, I forgot all about that." Bao'er cried out, rubbing her face with her fingers. Rong Yuan watched her tear off her skin... and then a completely different face was revealed.
Rong Yuan said that his heart was greatly frightened.
Her eyes were watery, her lips were red and her teeth were white, like a beautiful doll. She blinked her eyes, obviously trying not to laugh.
Rong Yuan turned around, walked out with her silently, and then asked, "Don't you have anything else to say?"
"What?" Baoer was stunned for a moment, then suddenly covered her face with shyness, turned around and said: "Oh, brother, although you are very cute, there is no possibility for us. Sister likes older guys. You...you...you are a good person..."
Rong Yuan, who was inexplicably given the nice guy card: (lll￢w￢)
There were already quite a few passers-by on the road. A man who was passing by with a box in his arms heard what was happening and glanced at Rong Yuan. Rong Yuan inexplicably felt as if he was being despised.
Baoer saw his expression through her fingers and burst out laughing, leaving Rongyuan speechless.
But Bao Er actually knew what Rong Yuan wanted to ask. She put her hands behind her back and smiled, "You are a smart person. There is no need to say more than I warned you not to tell anyone. I know you know what is the best thing to do. Besides, this location has been exposed, and we will all move soon, so even if others know about it, it will be useless. We will clean it up very well."
Seeing how confident they were, Rong Yuan felt relieved. At least this way they wouldn't think that letting Rong Yuan leave was a threat and then take other actions.
At this time, the man behind them holding the box opened the door and walked in. Baoer knew that there was no one at the counter, so she called out but failed to stop him, so she wanted to go in and stop him.
Rong Yuan stood there and looked back at her. He had to admit that when he was about to leave, he suddenly found himself attached to this kind of life. Although he basically did nothing, he still had a tense and exciting feeling that his life was hanging by a thread. This feeling made him even want to abandon his own life and participate, but reason prevented him from making such a request.
Suddenly he seemed to hear a strange buzzing sound, and it felt as if the world had suddenly gone silent. Then, at the door of the store only two or three meters away from Baoer, a scorching flame suddenly erupted from inside - "Boom -"
The cloud-like smoke exploded, and bright yellow flames with dazzling white light rushed towards Rong Yuan with the momentum of engulfing the world!
