The road ahead was thorny and bumpy, but there was no turning back.

June 2, 2022 at 3 a.m. sharp

My head started to ache, who is the most suitable research material for this, and it was at this time that I suddenly thought of an excellent candidate, this person is trustworthy, and he will definitely be able to complete this sword thing smoothly.

All I can do is prepare for it, and all that's left is to wish myself the best of luck. I felt a little tired, and at some point I lay down on the table and closed my eyes quietly.

June 2, 2022 at 6 a.m. sharp

The rain outside the window did not stop, and the sound of the rain hitting the glass window did not bring away my tired sleepiness in the slightest.

I seemed to see Li Rena waiting for me to rescue her, and just as I was desperate to rush over, my phone rang suddenly.

I looked at my phone sleepily, and the person who called was Cui Li.

"Cheng Yin, everything is ready, you wait for me for a while, and I will go downstairs in the research room immediately." Cui Li's tone sounded very energetic, how could he get up at this time if he usually did.

"Okay, I'll wait for you downstairs."

I put down my phone and went to the pool, turned on the faucet, rinsed my face with water, put a few tear gas gases on the table into my backpack, and stuffed the research materials into it.

After a few minutes, I packed everything and hurried downstairs, waiting for Cui Li's arrival.

The morning sun wasn't very harsh, just a little bit of light, and it looked like the rainstorm had stopped last night. Although there is no such thing as a rainbow after the rain, the air on campus is noticeably fresher.

The road wasn't dry and still a little muddy, so I stretched and looked around - there was no one at the school early in the morning, no one except for an aunt who was cleaning. The aunt who swept the floor was holding a heavy broom, but it was more of a dry branch tied up than a broom. Since the ground was still a little wet, it didn't raise dust when it was cleaned. The trash can on my right side may have been blown to the ground due to the storm yesterday, and the aunt who swept the floor walked over to me and lifted the trash can up. While sweeping up the garbage scattered on the ground, she chatted with me:

"Classmate, you work so hard. I've been sweeping the school for years, and it's not often that a student shows up so early. ”

"Well, yes, there are exams at school, so I arrived early." I wasn't in the mood to chat with my aunt casually and perfunctory a few words, I kept looking at the watch on my wrist, anxiously waiting for Cui Li's arrival.

"Classmate, are you waiting for someone? I look a little anxious. But you young people are always in a hurry, and you are very impulsive in doing everything, not that my aunt said you, I was the same as you when I was young, but now that I am older, I am not as reckless as when I was young, and I will think about everything. As far as sweeping the floor is concerned, other school cleaners sweep wherever they see garbage, but I don't sweep the same route at the same time every day, so that I don't miss any place. "Auntie looked up at me, probably with a serious expression.

"I'm sorry, classmate, there's no one this morning, I sweep the floor alone and no one speaks, I saw you say a few more words today, did it make you noisy?" Auntie said to me apologetically.

"No, no, no, it's just that the exam is coming soon, and I'm just a little nervous."

"You, like the students I've met, are just too nervous, just relax for the exam. Okay, Auntie won't talk to you more, I haven't swept it over there yet, I'll go over first. The aunt emptied the scattered garbage back into the trash can, and then walked slowly to the opposite side with a bulky broom.

June 2, 2022 at 6:20 a.m

It didn't take long for a gray jeep to speed towards me and slowly stop in front of me.

Cui Li's head poked out of the car window, and he smiled and said to me: "Cheng Yin, everything is ready, this time you can definitely rescue Li Ruina." "I don't know where Cui Li got his confidence, I really don't know what he prepared, but what makes me even more curious is where he got this heavy jeep. The previous cars were all rented by him, but the car in front of him didn't look like he could easily rent it.

"Cui Li, where did you get this heavy jeep? And it's only 6 o'clock in the morning, and the place where you rent a car probably hasn't even opened the door, right? "I tapped my watch on my wrist with my hand.

"Cheng Yin, I can't rent this car, but someone has it." Cui Li laughed mysteriously.

As soon as Cui Li said this, I noticed that there seemed to be someone else in the co-pilot. I leaned close to the window and looked in.

"Cheng Yin, why don't you talk to me when you encounter difficulties, and you don't treat me as a friend too much." The voice of the person who spoke was so familiar.

"Summer City......? How are you? I looked at Xia Cheng in shock, not knowing what to say.

"Of course it's my credit. Although you plan to go with me to save Li Ruina, who is Yitzhak? Scheming, you see that his face has no expression, you don't know what he thinks in his heart, such a person can let you easily rescue Li Ruina? ”

"Cui Li, you ...... You...... Didn't I tell you not to alarm the rest of the research team, but why do you ......" I was speechless for a moment.

"Cheng Yin, don't be angry, don't you forget, but you told me in the 'Strange Array' that the total crowd gathered firewood and the flame was high, didn't I also listen to you?" Cui Li suddenly quibbled.

"I said it, but at this moment and then, you know how dangerous we are, how can you still involve Xia Cheng as well?"

"Cheng Yin, don't blame Cui Li, if I know about this matter, even if Cui Li doesn't say it, I will choose to help you." Xia Cheng looked at me and said.

I could feel an indescribable sense of trust, like nectar after a long drought.

"But Xia Cheng, this matter is too dangerous, you don't need to be involved." I discouraged me again and again.

"Cheng Yin, don't talk about it. Have you forgotten how you helped me when you were in 'Odd Array'? None of us would be here without you. And I have a feeling that the fates of all of us have been closely linked since 'Odd Array', and we are a group, so I will never be able to watch you go on an adventure alone. "Xia Cheng's words made me speechless, I knew very well in my heart that if Xia Cheng helped in this matter, then the chances of rescuing Li Ruina would become even greater.

"Okay, Xia Cheng, thank you." Just as I was about to open the car door, the earth-shattering engine resounded through the school campus, and if I hadn't known that the storm had stopped, I might have thought it was thundering again.

It was too late to say that it was too fast, a windy off-road motorcycle stopped in front of us in a beautiful arc, looking at the figure of the person should be a girl, but who would stop in front of us at this time?

At the same time as I was puzzled, the woman on the motorcycle took off her helmet, her long flowing hair slowly fell, and the person in front of me was none other than Zhao Yuyu.

I just knew that she usually likes sports, but what I never expected was that she could ride a motorcycle, and it was this kind of motocross.

"Zhao Miyu, why are you? Why are you here too? "I was caught off guard by the unexpected situations in front of me.

Zhao Yuyu held the helmet of the motorcycle in one hand, and said heroically: "Cui Lidu told me about it, Li Ruina is a member of our research group, and her danger is the danger of our research group, how can I ignore it?" ”

"Cui Li!" I turned my face to look at Cui Li, "How many people did you say you talked to about this?" Did you talk to all the members of the research group? ”

"Cheng Yin, you are really smart. I really told them about it one by one, but ......" Cui Li stopped halfway through his words.

Just as I was about to ask Cui Li, Lin Yun's figure appeared not far away, and she was running towards us as fast as she could.

I looked at Lin Yun running towards us and asked, "Lin Yun, what's wrong with you?" How did you come here alone? ”

"Cheng ...... Yes...... Cheng Yin, Ben ...... It was supposed to make our family driver...... I was sent here, but the car broke down in the middle of the drive, so I had to run over, but fortunately I caught up. Lin Yun said breathlessly.

"Lin Yun, in fact, you ...... It shouldn't come. There is no need for you to be involved in these things. "I know very well that this matter is too dangerous for Lin Yun, this time it is not as good as the 'Odd Array', and the person who kidnapped Li Ruina must be difficult to deal with.

"Cheng Yin, don't say it, I won't leave. No matter how difficult it is, I will go with you. I'm not alone, we're all of us. I looked at Lin Yun, and an inexplicable feeling came to my heart. I don't know what words to use to stop her, maybe this is indeed the business of our entire research team, and there is hope for something that had little chance of success.

"Now that everyone is here, let's hurry up." Cui Li said.

"Everyone's here?" Lin Yun looked at everyone and asked suspiciously, "It seems that there is one person missing?" What about Zhang Han? ”

"yes, why didn't he arrive? Cui Li, did you forget to tell him? Zhao Yuyu said in a reproachful tone.

"How is it possible, of course I told him, but ......" Cui Li suddenly became hesitant, and he didn't say a word clearly for a long time.

"But...... But what? What the hell did you say to him? Zhao Yuyu asked.

"However, when I called, he just told me about the matter, and he hung up the phone impatiently......" Cui Li said aggrievedly.

"Forget it, everyone has their own aspirations, since he has his ideas, I should respect his choice." Xia Cheng said euphemistically.

"Yes, in fact, if he doesn't come, he won't come, anyway, he always looks like he doesn't care about himself, and even if he comes, it will only upset us." Cui Li turned his words around and threw the spearhead back to Zhang Han.

June 2, 2022 at 6:30 a.m

I looked at the time on my watch, and it was already half past six.

"Let's go!" I said.

Zhao Yuyu parked the off-road motorcycle on the side of the road and walked towards the heavy jeep.

"But, Zhang Han ...... He ......, "Lin Yun didn't look into the distance, hoping to see Zhang Han's figure, but there was no miracle.

"Forget it, Lin Yun, he won't come, he's like that, he will never participate in things that have nothing to do with him. I'd better go. Cui Li said about the engine of the starter's car.

"Wait a little longer, maybe he is in the same situation as me, the car breaks down halfway or ......" Lin Yun didn't look into the distance when he spoke.

"Lin Yun, forget it, what Xia Cheng said is not wrong, Zhang Han has his own ideas, we can't ......" I haven't finished talking yet.

"Just ten minutes, okay? Shall we wait for him for another ten minutes? Lin Yun said earnestly.

Looking at Lin Yun's appearance, I didn't say anything more and nodded.

"By the way, Cui Li, before Zhang Han hung up the phone, did you have time to tell him the location and time of the meeting?" Zhao Miyu confirmed.

"As I said, just as I was talking about the time and place of the meeting, he suddenly hung up the phone, and no matter how I called, he never listened again." Cui Li said.

"Wait! Cui Li, do you mean he hung up the phone immediately after you finished talking about the time and place of the meeting? A smile crossed my face.

"yes, what's wrong, what's wrong with that?" Cui Li asked inexplicably.

"Cui Li, if what you said is not wrong, then Zhang Han will definitely come." Xia Cheng added.

"He's coming? I can't see that he is such a temper, and he must feel that he is wasting his time, so he is unwilling to take care of this idle matter. Cui Li said unconvinced.

June 2, 2022 at 6:38 a.m

Ten minutes are about to pass...

"My future, whose future is it, I stand at the apex, looking out at the sea..."

……

"My future, whose future is it, I stand at the apex, looking out at the sea..."

……

Suddenly, the familiar sound of music could be heard in the distance......

"What is this?" Lin Yun hesitated.

"This is Zhang Han's favorite music all time!" Zhao Yuyu exclaimed.

It was at this time that a luxury sports car appeared in front of our eyes. The music came out of this sports car.

"It's Zhang Han!! It's Zhang Han!! Lin Yun said happily.

The sports car stopped in front of us. Zhang Han stepped out of the car and looked at us, he was still wearing that cool headset.

"Judging by your expressions, you must think my appearance is very surprised, right?" Zhang said coldly.
