【Sweetheart Lover】

Chapter 105 Life hangs by a thread

After a brief silence, cautious footsteps were heard outside the cave, approaching the cave. Every step seemed to step on everyone's fragile nerves, making the already extremely tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Ruan Jianan's heart was in his throat. He protected Lin Yanan behind him, staring at the cave entrance, his body tense like a fully drawn bow. Fine beads of sweat oozed from his forehead, slid down his cheeks and dripped onto the ground.

Lin Yanan's breathing was rapid and disordered, her hands tightly grasped Ruan Jianan's clothes, her eyes were filled with extreme fear. Her lips trembled slightly, and her teeth bit her lower lip so hard that it almost bled.

Cheng Feng and Qin Hao were also extremely nervous, not daring to breathe. Cheng Feng's eyes were wide open, and his heartbeat was like thunder in his ears. Qin Hao's brows were furrowed, and his face was so gloomy that water could drip out.

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and every step was like a heavy hammer hitting everyone's heart. The sound was infinitely amplified in the silent cave, as if it was a countdown to death.

Suddenly, a strong light shone in from outside the cave, and everyone squinted their eyes subconsciously. The light was so dazzling that they, who were used to the darkness, could not adapt for a while.

"Come out, I know you are in there!" A cold voice sounded outside the cave. The voice was emotionless, as if it was a sentence from hell.

Ruan Jianan gritted his teeth and whispered, "Don't panic, everyone." Although his voice was low, it carried a firm strength.

Lin Yanan's tears burst out and she shook her head desperately, "What should we do?" Her voice was full of despair and helplessness, and her body kept shaking.

Cheng Feng clenched his fists and said, "Let's fight them!" There was a flash of determination in his eyes, as if he was ready for the final fight.

Qin Hao had a serious look on his face and said, "Let's see the situation first." He swept his eyes over everyone, trying to stay calm and think about countermeasures.

At this moment, a voice came from outside the cave: "We'll give you ten seconds. If you don't come out, don't blame us for being rude!" The voice was full of threats and made people shudder.

Ruan Jianan took a deep breath and prepared to rush out. His eyes became firm, as if he was ready to die.

Just as he was about to take a step forward, there was a sudden commotion outside the cave, with shouts and fighting sounds intertwined into a chaotic mess.

"What's going on?" Lin Yanan raised her head in surprise, a glimmer of hope flashing in her eyes.

Ruan Jianan also looked puzzled, but remained alert. "Don't act rashly. Let's see what happens."

The sounds outside the cave became increasingly chaotic, accompanied by gunshots and screams.

"Is someone coming to rescue us?" Cheng Feng showed a hint of anticipation on his face.

Qin Hao shook his head. "It is also possible that they had an internal conflict."

Everyone's heart was in suspense again, not knowing whether this sudden change was a blessing or a curse.

As time passed, the sounds outside the cave gradually subsided.

"What should we do now?" Lin Yanan looked at Ruan Jianan, his eyes full of confusion.

Ruan Jianan hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go out and take a look."

"No, it's too dangerous!" Lin Yanan grabbed his arm.

"I must go. If there is a chance, we can escape." Ruan Jianan broke free from Lin Yanan's hand and slowly walked towards the cave entrance.

With every step he took, his heart was in his throat, not knowing what was waiting for him.

When he got close to the cave entrance, he carefully poked his head out...
