Girls Frontline: Griffin Security

Chapter 14: The Innocence of a Child

On the wind-whistling country road, two figures were running slowly, one in front and one behind. They both wanted to speed up to get rid of or catch up with each other, but neither of them could do it.

The reason is simple, Xu Bin and Yuta are running against the wind at the moment.

In the low-pressure and oxygen-deficient environment caused by the typhoon, the two not only had to struggle to keep their bodies steady, but also had to dodge the broken branches flying towards them... These broken branches had already been sharpened by the iron wind to be as sharp as knives, and if they were not careful, they would end up with a bloody head.

"Yuta! Wait for me a moment!"

Xu Bin shouted at the thin figure in front of him, but the other party had no intention of stopping and continued to run forward against the wind.

Seeing this little lunatic's disregard for his own safety, Xu Bin could not help but worry: At this speed, it would take at least 4 or 5 minutes to catch up with Yuta. Before that, no one could guarantee that the child would not be knocked down by something that was blown over, so it was not feasible to continue chasing him like this.

And Yuta seemed to be heading towards the pier...

Thinking of this, Xu Bin no longer hesitated. He held on to the guardrail on the side of the road with one hand and jumped sideways into the field below, preparing to take a shortcut to catch up with Yuta.

As for that umbrella that was in the way? I don't know where it was blown away by the wind!

The swift figure passed quickly across the field, and as the route changed, the distance between Xu Bin and Yuta was suddenly shortened a lot.

This is all thanks to the AI ​​assistant! During the days when he was trained by the system, he had experienced many tasks related to pursuit, so even if there was a typhoon raging now, it was only a matter of time for Xu Bin to catch the little lunatic in front.

......

He easily climbed over one low wall after another. With a roll after landing, Xu Bin steadily reduced the impact force and stood up. Now there was only a trench blocking his way.

Without thinking, I rushed over...

Run up, take off!

"thump!"

Like a drowned dog, he fell into the cold water.

Experience can sometimes be a harmful thing. Xu Bin thought he could just jump over the ditch in front of him, but he ignored the typhoon that was raging... The roaring wind blew him directly into the ditch when he jumped into the air.

"Damn it!"

Spitting out the dirty water in his mouth, Xu Bin climbed out of the trench with difficulty, but he could no longer see Yuta's figure.

I have already exhausted a lot of my energy. If I continue running, I might collapse halfway through.

Thinking of this, Xu Bin stopped forcing himself. He believed that Yuta's physical strength would not be much better at this moment, so he covered his painful butt and limped forward.

"Yuta, are you there?..."

After a while, they finally arrived at the gate of the dock. Xu Bin shouted inside, but the only answer he got was the whistling wind.

Seeing no response, he walked in with a sinking heart.

The dock was not very big, but there were many closed warehouses for storing ships, so Yuta could not be found at a glance, forcing him to search the warehouses one by one.

But just as Xu Bin finished searching the first warehouse, a childish voice came into his ears from a distance:

"It was my fault...."

This is Yuta's voice!

After determining the direction of the sound source, Xu Bin ran towards it.

As several ships were left behind his eyes, Xu Bin suddenly saw the thin figure and... a young man about his age.

The two people, one big and one small, were now standing in an open space without any shelter, letting the heavy rain wash over them.

"You actually ran away crying because of such a small pressure. Are you still a man? Shame on you!"

"But Brother Naoki, grandpa is blaspheming the heroic spirit of Kitajima."

The young man called "Brother Naoki" glared angrily. Seeing Yuta still crying despite trying to suppress his tears, he walked up to him and kicked him down:

"No matter what the reason is, a man is not allowed to cry. Get up!"

Yuta, who was rolling on the ground, immediately got up after hearing this and waited for the young man's next kick.

"stop!"

Unable to bear it any longer after seeing this, Xu Bin leaned over and walked towards the two people in the rain... He had been in the island country for almost ten years, and this was the first time he had seen such a morbid way of education.

Kick a boy because he shed tears? What a joke! This is the Sakigawa era! Even when I was 22, I cried not long ago.

The young man also noticed Xu Bin's voice and turned around:

"who are you?"

"bang"

Xu Bin answered him with a fist - he believed that this way of greeting would be appreciated by the other party.

"Brother Naoki!"

Yuta rushed over and stood in front of the young man, pleading with Xu Bin:

"Please don't hit Brother Naoki, he is my biological brother."

My dear brother? I have changed my opinion of you as my brother.

Seeing that Yuta was protecting him so much, Xu Bin had no choice but to stop... As a Dragon, he was not used to meddling in other people's affairs. If Yuta hadn't helped him today, Xu Bin wouldn't have come forward to stand up for him.

"Heh... I'm so stupid, I'm sorry to have embarrassed the guests from outside the island."

The young man slowly stood up and stretched out his right hand:

"That was a good punch just now. My name is Naoki. May I ask what your name is..."

"Xu Bin"

After answering the other party unhappily, Xu Bin held Naoki's hand.

I don't know if it was an illusion, but when Xu Bin said his name, he felt the other party's hand suddenly stiffen. Even Yuta's eyes turned cold when he looked at him:

"Brother, you are a foreigner?"

The atmosphere instantly turned cold to freezing point due to the undisguised hostility.

Should we say that he is just an innocent child? At least the Yuta in front of him did not have a dagger hidden behind his smile like an adult. He just stared at Xu Bin vigilantly.

"Yuta, you are so rude to your guests!"

Naoki glared at his brother with a reproachful look, then turned around and apologized to Xu Bin with a smile.

Later on the way back, Xu Bin learned that Yuta and his family had moved here from Nagasaki Prefecture. That place had been destroyed by a nuclear bomb and was uninhabitable.

Fortunately, their family still had some savings, so they brought other homeless Nagaqi people to the twin islands, built houses and lived a peaceful life.

In response, Xu Bin asked Naoki, "Do you hate foreigners?", but Naoki denied it:

"Hate? That stinky old man in my family keeps telling me things like 'how cruel the struggle is...if you don't want to die, just stay in your place...' I'm so tired of hearing this kind of nonsense. How dare I hate foreigners? I'll be killed by his nagging."

After saying this, Naoki stopped talking, as if he was filled with resentment again.

As for Xu Bin, he always felt that there was something wrong with some of the things he experienced today, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong.

In the storm, three people walked side by side. One was sulking, one was thinking hard, and the other was silent...
