Chapter 132: Breaking the Only
Xu Nianran moved his wrist lightly and whispered: "Ryan, if you think it's inconvenient to take me with you, I can find a place to hide, and when you come back to me, I'll come out again." β
Ryan looked at her, smiled softly, and asked, "You are so naΓ―ve, if I leave you alone, you will have to wait for death." β
"Ugh." Xu Nianran broke out in a cold sweat, yes, now that the ruins have been found, it seems that he has no use except for wasting food, if Ryan leaves himself, then he will die, okay!
"But I don't want to." Ryan changed his words, reached out and pinched Xu Nianran's cheek, and said with a smile: "You do know how to make a man soft-hearted. β
Xu Nianran was stunned, why are you talking about this at this time?! This is no time or place to joke!
Ryan looked stunned, turned off the flashlight, and the surroundings fell into darkness.
Xu Nianran only felt that he tugged at his wrist, and then, he felt a dry and warm thing fall on his forehead.
"Let's go, since it's dangerous no matter what, you might as well follow me." Ryan whispered.
A sudden kiss, when Xu Nianran reacted, he had been pulled away by Ryan.
This kiss, although it only fell on the forehead, was the first time that it was kissed by someone other than Chen Youfei.
Every child, from childhood to adulthood, should not be very strange to kisses, because [1] [book] [read] novels YBDU from parents and elders kisses are not a lot, but Xu Nianran does not, she has always been close to only one Chen Youfei.
Ryan broke this one.
Along the way, Ryan did take good care of her, although his words and actions were occasionally rough, but he did not expose her to any danger, and he did not abandon her.
In such an environment where you need to survive, there is someone who has been with you, which will make people's goodwill quickly break through the ground.
Xu Nianran came back to his senses, pursed his lips, and whispered to Ryan: "If there is danger, I will become a drag oil bottle, you will leave me alone." β
Ryan heard her words, snorted softly, and didn't answer.
"I mean, you've taken good care of me along the way, and I'm grateful, but if there's any unexpected situation and you have a better chance of surviving alone, just leave me alone." Xu Nianran felt that he didn't believe in his determination, and repeated again.
"Alright." Ryan's displeased voice came, "I have my own judgment, what kind of situation to do, I don't need you to teach me." β
Xu Nianran heard that he was not very happy, so he shut up, stopped talking, and let him pull himself down.
After descending the steps, you can see a light in the distance.
The flames barely jumped, burning straight, and a warm glow lingered around them.
Ryan stopped as soon as he took a step, and he turned to Joseph behind him and said, "There's something strange on the ground. β
Joseph was wearing a helmet with a miner's lamp, and when he turned on the light, the road under his feet immediately glowed with a silvery white light.
Ryan let go of Xu Nianran, squatted down and touched the bluestone paved road in front of him, with a white substance about the width of a palm in the middle.
"It should be chalcedony." Ryan flicked his fingers, straightened up, and said to the back, "Go on both sides, not in the middle." β
"You're afraid of stepping on it?" Xu Nianran said with a smile.
"No, I'm afraid there will be a mechanism." Ryan replied.
"But...... The middle road is taken by the king, and it is safest to take the middle. Xu Nianran suggested.
Ryan nodded, "You reminded me, yes, you should go in the middle." β
So Xu Nianran was held by Ryan with a different hand, Ryan asked her to walk in the middle, herself on one side, and then Pei Aishi and Joseph walked on the other side.
Looking at the lights in front of me, I don't think it's far, but in fact, it's much farther than I imagined.
The cyan glass lamp was placed in a small room without a door, and there was only one stone platform in it for the lamp.
Ryan raised his hand and signaled to pause, he was very puzzled, he obviously heard the shrill friction sound of human voices and chirps just now, how did he come here and not see Qin Yan and them at all?
If there really is any secret passage, Qin Yan will definitely leave a mark.
"I'll go in and see, you stand still." Ryan said.
"You, be careful." Xu Nianran let go of his hand and stood on the chalcedony road looking at him.
Ryan glanced back at her.
Behind Xu Nianran was darkness, and the light on Joseph's head on the side was behind her, and with the light in her back, Ryan couldn't see her face clearly.
Naturally, I didn't see her eyes clearly.
Xu Nianran didn't know that her eyes were different from before at this time.
The black pupils had turned golden, and it looked very strange.
As soon as Ryan walked into the small room, he immediately raised his hand and pointed a gun at the corner behind him, his hearing had been trained to distinguish the sound of breathing very clearly.
He could tell what was asleep, what was agitated, what was hurt, and he could tell the difference between these different breaths.
At this moment, there was a sound in the corner that resembled the chaotic frequency of breathing after a long journey.
"Don't shoot, it's me." Qin Yan's voice came, and the tail note was trembling.
Ryan furrowed his brows, since he had seen Qin Yan last night, he had noticed that Qin Yan was very wrong.
Are you so excited? After all, it is a relic ancient city that has been pursued for nearly twenty years, and the wealth that is found here and brought out is estimated to be spent in the next life.
ββ¦β¦ You're the only one? What about the others? Ryan did not let his guard down, and quietly made a gesture to Joseph outside the door, Joseph stretched out his hand, grabbed Xu Nianran's shoulder, pulled her away from the door, and retreated to a farther place.
"They...... Go down first, I'll be waiting for you here. Qin Yan gasped and calmed down.
"Go down first? Where to go? Qin Yan, you would actually let others be one step ahead of you? Aren't you afraid of being taken by them for important items? That Xing Wensu is not a fool. Ryan felt that Qin Yan was inexplicable like this, and the hand holding the gun pointed to the corner without relaxation.
He tore off the small flashlight from the equipment belt on his lower back, pushed away his backhand grip, and folded it under the hand holding the gun himself, in a standard shooting position.
The cold light of the flashlight swept over, only to find that Qin Yan was standing in the crack layer of a wall, separating the two walls, leaving a gap for one person to pass through.
Qin Yan stood behind the wall, he could see half of his body and head, he frowned, his face was pale, and he seemed to be very angry at Ryan's repeated pointing at him with a gun.
But Ryan didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, for him, his own safety was the most important thing, how many lives and deaths had he seen? How many people died at the hands of "their own people"? He doesn't mind if it's a companion or not, as long as it's dangerous to him, he can eradicate it.
"What about Xu Nianran?" Qin Yan asked.
Ryan's eyelids jumped slightly, and he replied, "Joseph looked at her, the person was still on top, and he didn't know the situation below, so he didn't bring her." β
"Why not bring it! Without her, how many secret passages can't be opened! There are some places with circular totems here, which can only be opened with her eyes, and Xing Wensu's guy can't open them! Qin Yan roared angrily.
Xu Nianran and the three of them were not far from the door, she covered her mouth and didn't dare to make a sound, she didn't even dare to breathe too hard, Qin Yan's crazy state was very scary.
Joseph frowned invisibly, Pei Aishi's eyes rolled slightly, and he deliberately pushed Xu Nianran in the dark, Xu Nianran stumbled, took a step forward, stepped on the chalcedony road, and made a slight chirping sound.
Qin Yan heard it immediately, glared at Ryan with wide eyes, and was about to come out of the crack, but Ryan immediately retreated and blocked the door.
He didn't want to turn his face with Qin Yan at this time, but he wanted to protect Xu Nianran, so he pretended to be defensive and shouted outside: "Who? β
Xu Nianran immediately knew that he was pretending, and she and Ryan had also accumulated some tacit understanding these days, so she immediately curled up, covered her mouth, and kept silent.
Joseph spoke, "...... I brought people here. β
The two cooperated for a while, and the expression on Qin Yan's face softened slightly.
Pei Aishi was hidden in the dark, and glanced at a few people without a trace, what is going on with this delicate relationship?
Isn't Qin Yan with Ryan and Joseph? How does it look like Ryan and Joseph teamed up to guard against Qin Yan? And Ryan's inexplicable maintenance of Xu Nianran, what does it mean?
Is it because he thinks Xu Nianran is useful, and he is fighting for control of her internally? Or is it really to Xu Nianran......
Ryan exited the door and saw Xu Nianran pounced on the ground with his hands covering his mouth, this imageless appearance made the corners of Ryan's mouth twitch, and he walked up to pick her up.
Xu Nianran covered his mouth, opened his eyes full of "I'm sorry", and stared at Ryan timidly.
Ryan didn't say anything, just glanced at her eyes, and looked closer in surprise, Xu Nianran's eyes flashed a little golden light in the darkness through the beam of light behind him.
"Your eyes ......" Before he could ask, Qin Yan behind him suddenly ran out of the wall mezzanine and put a pistol on the back of Ryan's head!
"Give her to me!" Qin Yan roared in a hoarse voice.
"......" Ryan raised his hands and slowly straightened up.
Suddenly, he grabbed Xu Nianran and rolled to the side, holding the pistol in his hand and firing three shots in the direction of Qin Yan.
The sudden whirlwind of the world and the sound of gunshots in his ears made Xu Nianran stunned for a moment.
Pei Aishi screamed, and was pressed by Joseph to lie on the ground, and Qin Yan also left and threw himself on the ground and rolled back, hiding in the stone room with the green lantern.
"How dare you shoot me! Ryan! Do you want to die! Qin Yan roared angrily.
Ryan chuckled and said, "You're not normal, Qin Yan, I feel the danger, I'm sorry." After that, he picked up Xu Nianran and was about to go out.
Woohoo! Qin Yan fired a few shots in this direction, and Ryan pressed Xu Nianran under him and shouted, "Joseph, turn off the lights!" β
