at dusk.
The dripping rain still came as expected.
The trees on both sides of the road slowly extended their branches to welcome this God-given baptism.
The blue-grey wall was wet.
An ordinary-looking car slowly parked on the cement road.
Luo Ruyan wore thin glasses, as well as the equipment and supplies she had just purchased, and opened the rolling door of a shop on the roadside.
The shop was empty.
It has not been renovated yet and is still covered with dusty cement walls.
"Let's stay here temporarily. After a while, other members will join me one after another." Luo Ruyan said.
"Oh... ok..."
Glasses began assembling his equipment.
The two days of running around made him a little overwhelmed, and his face turned pale.
…
Just across the street not far.
A street food shop.
Xia Chuluo's team was having a dinner together. The table was filled with kebabs and drinks, and the aroma was fragrant.
The rain hitting the awning outside the store sounded quite impressive.
"Luo Ruyan has ordered two takeaways now. When he leaves his shop, he has to change his appearance first and look around a few times. It's really like what Miss Xia said, like a dog with a broken spine, being chased and escaping. "
Team members monitored Luo Ruyan's every move in real time.
Confrontation in the Information Age.
One step behind, every step behind.
We can never go back to the days when a dozen wars would last for hundreds of years.
"Don't underestimate him. If we didn't have a team and worked alone, it would be difficult for anyone to beat him." Fatty Jiang spoke sensibly.
"His disguise technique is really powerful. It can't be seen by human eyes or machines. I don't know where he learned it."
"How long does Miss Xia plan to torture Luo Ruyan?"
Everyone knows it.
Now Luo Ruyan can no longer play the role of bait.
At first, Xia Chuluo was waiting for him to contact the Floating City, wanting to see who from the Floating City had issued the mission, but Luo Ruyan never contacted that city.
"The floating city was an anonymous mission at the beginning. Everyone knew which city issued it, but there was no evidence." Fatty Jiang said.
"Can't you find it?"
"It's possible to check, but the person who issued the mission was a dead man. He committed suicide shortly after the mission was completed, and the clues ended with him."
In the information age, there are still many things that are powerless.
Luo Ruyan is now at the end of his rope and has no more value.
Xia Chuluo let him go again and again, just to make him feel tired and desperate in the endless escape, and to push him to a dead end step by step.
"Let's kill him tonight. Eat and drink well. The next week will be busy." Xia Chuluo said.
Lu Wen glanced at her.
If nothing else happened, Xia Chuluo should have tortured Luo Ruyan for a few more days, at least not so quickly.
But now something unexpected happened.
Lu Wen's backup data is in Luo Ruyan's hands.
There are no more than ten people in the world who know the physical connection between his two sentences. Jiang Xiaonian is the first, then Luo Ruyan, then Dr. Jiang and Yin Liuyue from Baker City, and now Xia Chuluo.
To be honest, Dr. Jiang once reminded Lu Wen that the person who has been secretly paying attention to Lu Wen must also be included.
Apart from that, even Zero doesn't know.
"Luo Ruyan has never used your backup data to make excuses, because he feels that he has not reached a dead end yet, and as long as he still has a glimmer of hope, he will not use it to threaten him." Xia Chuluo said to Lu Wen.
"Eat more crispy bone skewers to make up for the bad shape." Lu Wen picked up a few skewers for her.
"You, an android, still believe this..."
…
Across the street.
A cool shop.
Luo Ruyan pulled down the rolling shutter door, and the simple and dim light could barely illuminate the entire room.
In fact, he has more shelters. After all, there are three caves for cunning rabbits, not to mention a cunning person like him. Those places are luxuriously decorated and equipped with all kinds of facilities.
But Luo Ruyan was worried that Xia Chuluo had already mastered the location of those rooms, so he finally settled on this small shop on the street.
The shop was not registered in his name, and it was an easily overlooked place on the street.
But Luo Ruyan always felt that it was not safe enough.
"I'll give you a website, log in, and then upload the contents of this USB flash drive to my account." He handed Lu Wen's data backup to the glasses.
This thing is his last resort.
Whether you can survive or not depends entirely on these data.
Luo Ruyan could have released a message saying that Lu Wen was No. 9.
But few people would believe him.
After all, he is being hunted by Xia Chuluo's team now, and anything he says is untrustworthy.
The only thing that others can believe is Lu Wen's data.
But this data was very large. He was in a hurry when he left Mowu City and did not edit the memory image of Lu Wen becoming No. 9. He was busy laying out and recruiting people in Central City these days.
So what he has now is just the data that Lu Wen gave him at the beginning, without any processing.
"The amount of data is huge and it will take some time to upload, so please be patient," Glasses said.
Fortunately, the equipment just configured is relatively top-notch, otherwise it is very likely to crash during the upload process.
This is the first time I have seen such a USB flash drive with a large storage capacity. Ordinary people cannot use it or afford it.
He was a little curious about the data inside.
So during the uploading process, I took a few private glances.
Very ordinary four partitions.
Primitive functions, emotions, memory, learning.
The memory partition occupies a considerable amount of storage. After he opened it, he found that there were videos one after another.
Each video is marked with time.
The earliest period is May.
The glasses guessed that this was the data of a bionic human. Looking at the time period, it was a full eighteen days. Although one week was blank, it still required a considerable amount of memory to store it. No wonder this special oversized memory was needed. Capacity USB disk to install.
Luo Ruyan paced back and forth at the door, thinking about future countermeasures.
He was too passive. Even if he left the city, without a strong team, it would only be a matter of time before his niece found him.
Time passed by minute by minute.
The upload progress bar gradually comes to the end.
After the complete upload is completed, Luo Ruyan only needs to log in to his account and click publish to release this data to the world.
"How's it going? How long will it take?" Luo Ruyan asked.
Glasses glanced at the progress bar.
"It's quick, it will take two minutes at most..."
"boom!"
The violent explosion suppressed his voice.
Broken pieces of metal flew through the air.
The explosion was like thunder and lightning, lighting up the entire street in the night sky.
Luo Ruyan drew out his gun immediately.
He pointed his cold gun at the people who walked into the door.
"Xiaoxia, are you planning to kill your uncle?" he asked in a deep voice.
"My mother has always told me that she no longer belongs to this family, and her surname is Xia after my father. She also keeps telling me that I can just call you uncle."
Xia Chuluo patted the dust on his body caused by the explosion and looked at Luo Ruyan calmly.
Luo Ruyan naturally knew that the girl standing at the door knew all about the original incident and would definitely not let him go again for the sake of blood relationship.
"Actually, I have been waiting for you to contact the people in the Floating City, but you let me down."
"Did you let me go on purpose before and used me as bait?"
"It's good that I can still have this consciousness. It seems that I can die in peace."
"Xiaoxia, do you know what I have in my hand?"
"Lu Wen's information?"
Xia Chuluo naturally saw the equipment in the center of the store.
Flashing lights, lit screen.
The glasses were hiding behind the screen, and his face was pale with a blood streak on his face.
In the explosion just now, flying metal fragments scratched his face, and blood slowly flowed down his thin cheeks.
"As long as I say a word, the glasses will spread Lu Wen's information to the whole world. I think Lu Wen should be more concerned about his secret."
Luo Ruyan spoke calmly.
He was observing the expressions of Xia Chuluo and Lu Wen to judge how important this information was to the other party.
If this bargaining chip is heavy enough, he can escape smoothly tonight.
Xia Chuluo naturally knew the result.
So in her arrangement, the first thing she did was to cut off the network connection between this place and the outside world.
In fact, the moment the door was broken, the signal here had been replaced by Fatty Jiang's pseudo base station.
So she wasn't worried.
After continuous escapes, Luo Ruyan was finally a normal person. There were loopholes in his brain when he was thinking about problems, and he didn't even think of the most basic network conditions.
Although everything is under control, things will always differ from judgment.
"No."
A light word.
It weighs nothing.
the voice very low.
But the direction of the sound was beyond everyone's expectations.
Luo Ruyan's face turned ugly, and she slowly turned her head and looked at the thin guy hiding behind the computer screen.
…
Good night, fellow book friends!
Thanks to book friend FG4084 for giving me a headache-inducing name.
