"Catherine, is there a fire outside?"

In the darkness, Arabella's voice was so weak, pitiful, and helpless.

The wood beeps and burns, and the smell of smoke wafts into the basement along the crack in the door.

"Well, maybe the chef forgot to turn off the stove, you know, the chef from Yili is always careless. Catherine said as she stroked her sister's hair.

"Will the cellar catch fire too?Shall we be burned to death?Catherine, I don't want to be burned......" the sister cried.

"No, it's raining heavily outside, the fire brigade will come in a moment, and then the fire will be extinguished. Catherine comforted.

"Really?"

"Really...... Listen, isn't it raining......"

Catherine not only heard the rain, but even the raindrops fell on her face.

Is the floor leaking?

Her eyelids were as heavy as lead, and she tried to open them, and the darkness faded, and the evening sky appeared before her eyes, and the stars had already appeared before the sunset, and black and white ashes were flying in front of her.

"Wake up. ”

Number 33 shook the barrel, there was not much water left, and poured precious rainwater on Catherine's face, and there was only one bottom left in the barrel, and she drank it all with her neck up, and then threw it away.

When the rain first fell, it was quite sweet, but after a day in the barrel, the taste has changed a little.

Catherine was dazed, as if she had been in a long dream, her head was a little dizzy, her temples were still aching, and for a moment she couldn't figure out where she was or what had happened, and she couldn't even remember her name when she saw No. 33's face.

Was it just a dream?

Why are dreams so real? Even the sound of burning wood and the smell of smoke are so realistic, even now that she wakes up......

Wait a minute, she seems to remember something.

Helicopter, explosion ...... She didn't know what happened after that.

"Can you stand up?" asked 33.

As soon as Catherine moved, a contusion-like pain came from her back, but the pain was tolerable enough not to make her cry out.

With the long, wide cross sword behind her back, she gritted her teeth and could only turn over first from her back state, supporting the ground with her limbs on all fours, and then trying to stand up.

She shook a few times, but managed to stand still.

The hot wind blew in his face, and waves of scorching air carried ash and choking smoke in gusts.

The area they were in was half forest, half fire, and even the deep evening sky was reflected in crimson, like a magnificent fiery cloud.

Slowly but surely, the line of fire moved outward, already unstoppable, expanding at a rate of about two meters per second, and with each new area being opened, the woods and weeds were first dried and scorched, then fired, and then the line of fire advanced to the next.

Two meters per second seems to be very slow, but the normal travel speed of people in the forest is not necessarily two meters per second, just now No. 33 walked with Catherine and Ouyang Caiyue crawled with a baby on her back, and the line of fire has been chasing behind them like a grim reaper.

As we walked, sometimes the forest in front of us, which was not on fire, suddenly caught fire, because the bushes were ignited by the sparks and ashes that had been blown over.

No. 33 and Ouyang Caiyue were exhausted between large and small fire points, and finally found a temporary safe position, put Catherine down, and tried to wake her up.

Catherine did not suffer serious external injuries, only muscle contusions and a certain degree of concussion, she stood up and looked around, and saw Ouyang Caiyue, who was holding the baby, also sitting on the side.

"Thank you just now. Ouyang Caiyue said.

When she detonated the fuel tank, she actually didn't want to live anymore, and she was going to hold the baby like Ms. Wu and use her body to bear the damage, if it wasn't for Catherine's sudden attack, her body would definitely be thrown out by the shockwave, twisting like a tattered toy.

Catherine waved her hand casually so that she didn't care, and then asked, "Where's Kali?"

"I don't know. 33 shook his head, "She's more seriously injured, and while I'm hoping she's burned to death, it's probably unlikely, it should be not far away." ”

Catherine is self-aware, even in her normal state, she can't beat the vampire-transformed Kali, the difference in strength is too great, if there are some opportunities for the cooperation of the other four sisters, but the sisters have ascended to heaven, and there is no point in saying this.

"What now?"

"No way, just wait. No. 33 said: "I really don't want to leave, I guess Jiang Chanji and they should be there soon, so let's wait." ”

When splashing water on Catherine's face just now, No. 33 briefly asked Ouyang Caiyue a few questions, asking where their helicopter had departed from, how long it had taken to fly here, and who had come.

According to Ouyang Caiyue's answer, No. 33 calculated the time, if the No. 1 helicopter flew back to pick up Aurora, and then flew back immediately, even if there was no delay on the road, it would take at least fifty minutes.

Why was she sure that Aurora would come? Because only Aurora had the ability to control the fire, she had seen Aurora extinguish the fire in the villa that had been detonated by Jiang Chanji with crushed ice particles.

For the last question, Ouyang Caiyue only knew Jiang Chanji, Chen Yiyi and Arabella who reported her name, and she didn't know the names of the others, but judging from the appearance of the people she described, No. 33 knew that almost everyone came, except for Zixuan and Fu Su, who were really useless and would only drag their feet.

"Arabella is here too?" said Catherine.

"You mean that blind ...... Blind nun?, anyway, she claims to be Arabella. Ouyang Caiyue replied.

Catherine's eyebrows were furrowed, no wonder she had just dreamed of her sister, who had already come nearby.

She had been worried that her sister would come to her, but she couldn't stop it, and she was afraid of something, and in this dangerous forest, her blind sister would face greater danger than the others.

However, this forest is not a place where you can come and go when you want, you can only come and be safe, and it is useless to worry, I hope that Jiang Chanji and they can take care of her sister for the sake of her disability.

"How long will it take to get that Aurora you are talking about?" asked Catherine.

"It's going to take about 20 minutes. "Estimate No. 33.

"So long?" Catherine was stunned.

"What do you think?" No. 33 said angrily: "The timing of your fainting is really just right, you don't have to worry about anything, you have to carry me away!" From the helicopter explosion to now, about 30 minutes have passed, although every minute is like a year...... Aurora and the others may have just gotten on a helicopter to get here, and at best it will take 20 minutes. ”

Every minute and every second in the fire is incomparably long, and just half an hour is like a century.

Catherine watched the fire around her worriedly, not to mention 20 minutes, at most 10 minutes, the area they were in would not be safe.

"We can't continue to rest, we need to find a safer place as soon as possible. She urged.

No. 33 shook her head, on the road just now, she had already seen that Ouyang Caiyue was unable to move, there should be a sprained foot, even when crawling on the ground, the posture of the two feet is not the same, one of the feet will always be very awkward, avoiding touching the ground, it will definitely not be fast to walk like this, but she can't leave Ouyang Caiyue behind.

"You fainted and didn't know anything, now there is no place to be safe, there are fires on all sides, you think it is a safe place, when you pass, you may find that you have fallen into a sea of fire, and even the way out has been blocked. ”

No. 33 is not exaggerating, after the forest fire spreads, it is so dangerous and difficult to fathom.

"What then? you can't sit still here, can you?" said Catherine.

Ouyang Caiyue said: "There is a way, let's light a fire here first, and burn everything that can be burned here to ashes, so that when the fire spreads, there will be nothing to burn." ”

It sounded like a mystery, and Catherine wondered, "Will this work?"

"Don't worry, I'm an expert in arson, if it doesn't work, I won't say it, I just don't know if it can burn fast enough, if it burns slowly, and when the forest fire sweeps over, it won't burn yet, then we will be equivalent to sending ourselves into the coffin." Ouyang Caiyue said frankly.

When the fire is fierce and uncontainable, in order to reduce losses and casualties, the only way to burn out a separation zone or safety zone with fire is to hide in the safety zone, so that when the fire line burns here, because there is nothing to burn here, the fire line will automatically bypass the area like the tide meets a reef.

Ouyang Caiyue is an expert in playing with fire, and often drills into the deep mountains and old forests for money, she will think about what to do if the fire gets out of control before setting fire, she can't burn herself to death, she will comprehensively consider a series of issues such as the flammability of the forest, wind direction, and remedial measures, but this fire this time is the biggest fire she has ever set off, and she didn't think about anything when she set the fire, and casually poked out a big basket.

Now there is no other way, in order to hold on until the arrival of reinforcements, they can only die as horse doctors.

Catherine drew her crosssword, "In that case, then it's up to me to do it, I was in a coma for so long just now, so it's my compensation, I hope what you said will work." ”

She unleashed her power, and her hands holding the hilt of her sword suddenly turned incandescent indestructible, and countless wisps of white light shot out from between her fingers, like a sun being born in the palm of her hand.

Immediately after, her palm returned to normal, and the body of the cross sword seemed to be filled with white light, emitting a dazzling light that could not be seen directly, and No. 33 and Ouyang Caiyue, who were standing a few steps away, both felt a strong heat radiation.

Ouyang Caiyue covered the baby's eyes to prevent the baby's fragile visual system from being damaged by the bright light, and she herself turned her head sideways, secretly frightened.

Catherine strode over to the nearest tree, stabbed the blade into the tree, and the snorting green smoke came out, and in the blink of an eye the whole tree was on fire, and the burning process was shockingly fast, it only took a few seconds to burn from the crown to the roots, and the most amazing thing was that the shape of the tree itself remained intact, because it burned so fast, and it burned in its entirety, and it didn't even have time to deform.

Ouyang Caiyue was dumbfounded, she was an expert in arson, and she could see at a glance that this was not ordinary burning, otherwise the bark of the tree would be better to say, how did the inside of the trunk burn in the absence of oxygen? Ordinary burning is to slowly burn the wood from the outside to the inside, and Catherine's burning...... It's like carbonizing organic matter directly.

Catherine walked around them, poking her cross sword into a tree or bush as she went, and wherever the blade went, all the wood it touched was charred in a short time, and the flames burned weakly for a little longer, and then they were extinguished, leaving only wisps of green smoke.

Number 33 followed her, chopping down all the charred trees and flying up and kicking them to the outside.

If Lilith's vampire transformation is to accelerate the burning of life and gain terrifying resilience, then Catherine can accelerate the burning of organic matter, and life itself is made up of organic matter, and if the organic matter is burned out, how can life still burn?

It didn't take long for the area they were in to be barren of grass, and the ground was covered with thick black char and white ash.

Catherine took Ouyang Caiyue as the center and burned a black circular area, and as soon as she finished this work, the line of fire spread quietly, like a poisonous snake without making any sound, which is the terrible thing about forest fires.

The hot wind blew on their faces, their faces were roasted, and the ends of their hair were burned, and they stood in the center of the circle with their babies, their eyes firmly fixed on the forward of the line of fire.

The bright line of fire licked and ignited the vegetation along the road, and when it touched the circular area, it was deflated, because everything that could be burned was burned out, and the soil itself was non-combustible.

A small gap appeared in the line of fire, which bypassed the area, then closed again and continued to spread.

The three of them survived, and Qi Qi breathed a sigh of relief.

Although they were not burned to death, they were all roasted to the point of parchment, the sweat on their bodies was dried as they were pouring out, their throats and eyes were smoking, and the only half bottle of mineral water had been poured on the baby to cool down.

At that moment, a hard, cold object landed on 33's head, and then bounced to the ground, melting into water droplets in an instant, and then being dried and evaporated.

And then—

Countless ice particles fall from the sky and are thrown into the fire, melting and evaporating quickly after hitting the ground, while absorbing heat and lowering the temperature.

Hail?

The size of each ice grain is between a soybean and a pea, and although it hurts a little when it falls on the head, it does not hurt.

But the fire was so fierce that it was far from being comparable to the fire in the villa that was detonated by natural gas.

Ice and fire engage in a fierce tug-of-war over the forest, and it is not yet known who will kill the deer.

It's finally here!

No. 33 heard the rumbling propeller sound from far and near, and couldn't help but be secretly annoyed - the heroes of the people all arrived in time at the critical moment and turned the tide on the verge of falling, but Aurora was still a step too late, if it wasn't for them trying to save themselves, they would have been a few people now!
