Inferior by Nature

"100%!"

When the countdown was five seconds, the progress bar was finally loaded. However, Ran Qingzhuang had to restore the safe and run back to the secret passage. The last five seconds were not enough anyway.

From the palms to the fingertips, cold sweat continued to flow, the sound of the music gradually faded away, and the sound of heavy breathing filled the eardrum.I can't tell if it's mine, Ran Qingzhuang's, or the brood's, every second is as long as a century.

"I hacked into the administrator system, and they won't be able to find you for the time being." The brood spoke quickly, "Leave quickly, I won't last long!"

Five seconds had passed, but thanks to the Brood's efforts to gain time, the security system was still asleep for the time being and had not been restarted.

Ran Qingzhuang did not speak at the other end, hearing the voice, it should be restoring the safe.

About ten seconds later, the speed of typing on the keyboard on the other side of the brood was almost sparking: "I'm going to be discovered, disconnect in three seconds. Three, two, one..."

After the last word fell, the earphones became extremely quiet, even the sound of breathing disappeared.

With trembling lips, I pressed the earphone tightly, not letting go of a small voice from the opposite side.

The big knife was hanging above his head, he couldn't dodge it, he couldn't dodge it, he could only wait tremblingly for the knife to fall.

"I'm fine..." Finally, Ran Qingzhuang's slightly panting voice broke the silence, "Let's go back now."

A sense of suffocation flooded my mind, and I took a sharp breath, only to realize that I was so nervous that I even forgot to breathe.My heart was beating violently. I pressed my chest and slammed my head on the bed exhausted.

Great……

Great.

My shoulders trembled, and I laughed silently. I don't know why I laughed, but I just wanted to laugh anyway.It was as if a part of the soul, a small cluster of life, had escaped danger together with Ran Qingzhuang, and survived the catastrophe.

"Heron, the information has been encrypted multiple times, and I will start to decipher it immediately. It is too much to scare the snake, and you need to continue to lurk before closing the net." The voice of the brood relaxed again, returning to a calm and mechanical appearance.

"How long?" Ran Qingzhuang asked.

"Three days."

"too long."

The brood was quiet, and said: "Our side also needs time to mobilize people."

Ran Qingzhuang ran all the way, panting and said: "Jin Feisheng is not here, the beasts on Lion King Island have no leader, it is the best time to attack them. When he comes back, everything will be hard to say.

The brood did not deny it, but said: "I will pass your words on to the general."

Ran Qingzhuang seemed a little dissatisfied with her ambiguous attitude, but he probably also knew that she could not make the decision, so he chose not to delve into this topic, and kept silent afterwards.

For a long time, the only thing left in the earphones was the directions from the brood like a navigation sound, until there was a sudden knock on the door outside the house.

"Bang bang bang!" It was vigorous and hasty, and it seemed that the visitor was not kind.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, no matter who knocked on the door outside, this time period was very strange.

The mother's nest was silent all of a sudden, and the panting and wind from Ran Qingzhuang could no longer be heard, as if subconsciously stopped.

I sat on the bed blankly, goosebumps swept over my whole body in an instant, my eyeballs fell down, and I looked at the floor lamp that fell on the ground and was covered by clothes.

A strong premonition told me that it was the person on the other end of the monitor who was suspicious—blocking the picture for a long time and hiding the sound made the other party feel something was wrong, so I decided to come and take a look to confirm the truth.

The knock on the door came again, this time harder, and accompanied by a rough voice of a strange man: "Is anyone there? Open the door!"

The knock on the door was louder every time, and if I didn't answer any more, I was afraid that someone outside the door would break in, so I quickly got out of bed and opened the bedroom door, and raised my voice to ask who was coming.

"Our night patrol team, it's just a routine patrol inspection, just open the door and let us have a look." It wasn't the previous voice that answered me, there was more than one person at the door.

"Ji Ning, try to delay as long as possible..." Ran Qingzhuang gritted his teeth and said, "Just shoot."

Due to the opening of the door, the air flow in the room suddenly circulated, blowing violently on the body, creating bursts of coolness.

There was a muffled thunderclap in the clouds, indicating that a heavy rain was about to hit.

"Patrol? Do you know whose residence this is? Kong Tan didn't tell you?" I still talked to them through the door, looked left and right, grabbed a coat from Ran Qingzhuang on the hanger and put it on. , bent down again, and pulled out the Perlette tied to his calf.

Both hands were trembling. I stretched my fingers and took a few deep breaths, but the effect was not great.

"This is the rule of the island, everyone must abide by it. Why don't you ask Brother Yao to see if he wants to open the door." The first voice said.

Where can I ask?

"Wait, I... we are getting dressed."

The silver gun body is also quite eye-catching in the dim light. I put it behind my waist and looked back at the dark night outside the window.Except for the bright blue lightning flashing between the thick clouds, there is only the whistling wind that smells like water.

"Are you ready?" As if calling for life from outside, they began to knock on the door again.

"Going north, you can bypass the patrol, but it will take longer, and going straight is the fastest, but you may bump into the patrol personnel near the red building." In the ear, the brood dutifully informed the optimal route.

"straight!"

Ran Qingzhuang's panting was almost integrated with the sound of the wind. Suddenly, it was as if the earphones were hung on a tree branch. After the continuous noise, there was a slap, and the sound of dense footsteps became farther and farther away.

The brood called twice, but Ran Qingzhuang didn't respond, and the three-way conversation became two-way.

The knocking on the door is still going on, and even intensified.

"Here we come!" Knowing that I could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, I firmly shook the doorknob and stepped out of the bedroom.

"I've been here all the time." The female voice in the earphone said calmly.

I froze for a moment, as if this was the first time she had spoken to me directly.

Logically, Ran Qingzhuang was the one she was contacting for this mission, and now that the communication over there was interrupted, she could actually end the call and log off immediately.But she didn't, not only chose to put the call on hold, but also told me that she would always be there.

I once really doubted whether she was a highly intelligent AI developed by the government, but now I am sure, she is not, and robots will not be so gentle.

I want to say thank you, but the environment doesn't allow it.I could only say "hmm" lightly, then took off the earphones and put them in my trouser pocket, and went to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the two people outside wanted to squeeze in.

I blocked them and frowned, "What are you doing?"

The one who took the lead had a scar running through the left corner of his mouth: "Where's Brother Yao?" From the sound, it was the one who slammed the door at the beginning.

"Sleep inside. Do you want him to wake up to see you?" I was beating my head, fearing that they would push me away and rush into the bedroom, only to find that the room was empty.

If they really wanted to open the door, I took the opportunity to run out, followed the safe passage all the way down, drove to pick up Ran Qingzhuang, and then the two of us hid together on the mountain, into the cavity under the cliff.Stay for two days, save some water, and you will always be able to survive until rescue.

"We can also go in and meet him." Behind Scarface, the bigger and taller man looked at the living room and said.

"In the middle of the night, I suddenly said that I need to check. I have never heard of such a rule in the past few days on the island. If you don't check other people, you can check here. What, you brother Snake, are you deliberately finding fault? Call him and I will personally Ask if he allowed you to do this." I gritted my teeth secretly, reached into my pocket with my left hand, grabbed the car keys, and put my right hand behind my back, ready to draw my gun.

Scarface and the big man looked at each other in blank dismay, as if they hesitated a little because of my words.

There is a play.

"If you don't want to call him, then it's the same if I call Steward Feng and ask him to give the number to the eldest son." I made a gesture to go to the house to get my phone.

Scarface quickly stopped me, his tone softened: "Don't bother the eldest son with such a trivial matter, right? We are also following orders, so please do your best, elder brother, so don't make things difficult for us."

"It's not that I'm embarrassing you, it's that you have gone too far in doing the facts. From the time I was tied up to the rounds in the middle of the night, how did you take us seriously? I pity you, who will pity me?"

Scarface was stopped by my question all of a sudden, and was speechless for a long time.

"You didn't let us in, is it because there's no one inside?" The big man who had been silent just now turned his scarred face away, glared at me, and was about to open the door.

it's over...

I looked at the half-open door, and was about to run away, but the bedroom door behind me opened without waiting for the big man to push it.

The wind blew the hair from the back, and the big head was frightened, so he took a step back unconsciously, and the scar face froze on the spot, with an embarrassing expression on his face.

"You guys are so majestic, you want me to get up in person to meet you in the middle of the night." Ran Qingzhuang's voice sounded cold and lazily, "Where can I be if I'm not here, huh?"

I looked back suddenly, and saw him standing behind the bedroom door, his upper body was naked, his lower body was loosely wrapped in a pair of jeans, his brows and eyes were full of impatience, his face was dark and dark, he looked like he was really being yelled out of bed It looks the same.

He is back!

"I..." The big guy gritted his teeth, and without a word, he slapped his face left and right, "I said something wrong, Brother Yao, don't be angry, we'll leave now."

He lost all strength, and his face swelled instantly, showing clear five finger marks.

Scarface imitated his companion and slapped himself both. After the slap, he said with a smile on his face, "Misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding. Now that we've checked, we'll go back and report back, so we won't bother you two!"

Ran Qingzhuang sneered, and whispered with thin lips: "Get lost"

The two of them didn't dare to stay for a moment, they passed me in disgrace, and even forgot to close the door when they left.

That's it...passed?

I reached out to close the door, turned around and looked at Ran Qingzhuang again, still in a daze at this moment.

He looked at me from a distance, and the coldness in his eyes gradually faded away, turning into a softer, comforting smile.

I walked towards him calmly, entered the room, and closed the door behind my back.

The wind blows the gauze curtain that has been unbound, like a lingering lover, entwined and circling in the air, inseparable.But as soon as the door was closed, Feng, the lover, left quietly again, leaving only the white gauze alone and falling back to the original place, turning into an ordinary piece of white cloth.

Caressing Ran Qingzhuang's cheek, inexplicably, there was warmth in his eyes.

I could hold back it, but he smiled at me.

With this smile, my nose became sore, my throat choked, and the muscles on my cheeks began to tremble.

His smile disappeared little by little, and turned into an emotion similar to "pain" in his eyes.

When I let out the first uncontrollable sobs, he hugged me violently and pressed the back of my neck, like a strong exoskeleton with steel and iron bones, supporting me from appearing so weak.

"You did a good job." He whispered in my ear with the music still on.

I grabbed his back with both hands, suppressing all the choked sobs in my throat.

The heavy rain poured down, and it played an unrepeatable song with everything.

Tonight is over, but it's not over yet.
