It was getting late, and when the day and night came to the extreme, everyone was together, Vera and Stella had to rely on their own willpower to overcome the pain of the flesh, and everyone could not forget the monster that attacked them yesterday, and maybe one day they would die at the hands of such a hideous fellow.

"Gao Zhi, how is Vera?" Silina leaned down and looked at the wound on Vera's back, although the bleeding had stopped, he must still be suffering endlessly.

"It's much better than just now, Miss, are your hands okay?" Gao Zhi vaguely remembered that when Vera was slashed by the wind blade, Sirina next to her was also affected by her right hand, but fortunately, the wound was not deep, and it had almost healed after a day of repair.

"Well, if only Sakuruma and Night had been here at the time......" Sirina cowered under the tree and looked up at the white sky, which was gradually darkening, and night was about to fall, which was also the time she was most worried.

Gao Zhi glared at Takagi in the distance viciously, Vera's injury was entirely due to his order, and the mutant Mekai who attacked Stella was probably also chasing Vera's blood all the way to catch up, and the roots of his angry teeth itched when he thought of this, and he wanted to immediately summon Obsidian to come forward and kill him!

"It's all because of that guy......"

"Gao Zhi. Serina suppressed the impulsive Takashi and sighed, "If Takagi hadn't asked Vera to attract that monster's attention, all of us would have probably been killed by it." ”

"What are you talking about, ......Sirina? Do you think so?" Gao Zhi's heart suddenly sank, he didn't expect Serina to say such a thing.

Serina nodded lightly, it happened too suddenly, this is already the best result, if it weren't for Takagi's quick decision, let alone Vera, with their current ability, it was possible for them all to die there.

Gao Zhi leaned weakly against the tree, letting his body slowly slide down, his eyes were full of resentment, two successive attacks on himself did not have any effect, what was the existence of the shield in his hand?

"Abominable ......"

The area around the Heavenly Tree was relatively safe for the time being, and the students who had been running around for a day and a night were all in a trance, and it was probably the first time they had seen so much blood splattered out of front of them.

Simply filling their stomachs, everyone gathered around the foot of the heavenly tree and fell asleep.

……

"Hmm...... Woo woo, it's no longer good......"

For the first time, Gao Zhi felt that there was a voice in the outside world that could wake him up from his sleep, he hurriedly opened his eyes, and found that his somewhat numb left hand seemed to be gently grasped by Vera, and he whimpered helplessly, and the shirt of the school uniform was also soaked with tears.

"Vera, hey, what's wrong with you, are you uncomfortable?" Gao Zhi quickly came to his senses and tested the temperature of Vera's forehead with his hand, which was very hot. He hadn't eaten much at night, only drank a little water, which had helped him get through to now, but it seemed that its effect had come to an end.

Gao Zhi ...... I can't take it anymore......" Vera tugged at Takashi's sleeve weakly with tears in her eyes, his expression was extremely painful, and his facial features were almost twisted together, "I don't want to endure this torture anymore...... Please ......."

"Kill me. ”

Gao Zhi was silent and did not speak, he had expected this kind of thing since the day, Vera was seeking a relief as he imagined, it would be too cruel to him to just say nothing here.

"Don't say anything like that, you'll be fine soon. Gao Zhi could feel the pain that Vera was enduring and he had been tortured and had no strength to resist, his mind and body had stepped into a collapse, and his body exuded the smell of death, and there was nothing he could do with this tattered body.

"This is my last request...... Gao Zhi, give me a good time......" Vera sobbed and begged Gao Zhi to kill him, but the clenched fists kept shaking.

"Vera, let's make a bet. Gao Zhi raised his head and sniffed hard, "If you can hold out until dawn, you will never make such a request in the future, if your will is not enough to withstand the moment when the sun shines, you can also get what you want, how about it?"

"I ......"

"Vera, get through it and get stronger. Gao Zhi held Vera's hand and tried to pass on all the temperature on his body to him, hoping that this would help him strengthen his will, so he used his last faith to play a game with the death that was entwined around him, win it, and crush it!

The light of the fire gradually went out, Gao Zhi didn't dare to relax for a moment, if Vera couldn't do it, at least let his thoughts give him a ride, that road was very lonely.

"Ahhh

Towards the dawn of the morning, a scream woke everyone under the tree, the name of the screaming girl was Ibella Lawrence, she was Stella's best friend, it was a rather unlucky morning, just now Stella finished her game, apparently she did not survive the test of herself, chose to swallow the stone and commit suicide.

Gao Zhi, who came back to his senses, quickly opened his eyes, exhaustion made him almost fall asleep, and when he opened his eyes, the only thing he felt glad about was that Vera was still breathing. The wrinkled features on his face had stretched, and his cheeks were still stained with mud tears, but he had survived the hurdle, and the wound had almost healed and would no longer endanger his life.

"You did it, Vera, and enjoy the rest of your life. Gao Zhi was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief and let go of Vera's worries to attend Stella's "funeral".

"She didn't make it through last night. Jorim took the stone from Stella's mouth, and she stuffed it so hard that four stones went all the way up to her throat, and poor her died of suffocation.

"What do you mean by that?!Stella is dead!" Ibera suddenly grabbed Jorym's clothes and roared loudly, her eyes full of tears.

"What if she dies, it's her own choice, and it's you as a friend who has to respect her. Jorim shook off Ibera and turned the stone in his hand into a throwing knife and shot it at the Sky Tree, "All I can give her is mourning......

On a morning when luck and misfortune were mixed, one life left the world in place of another.

"The living rejoice, and the dead rest in peace. ”

After burying Stella's body, Takashi felt that it was not appropriate to do so, Stella might turn into an obsidian-level monster and appear in this world at any time, and her body should be cremated according to Sakurama's method, but Ibella did not agree to do so, and Takashi had to give up.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

"Miss, is there any water?" asked Gao Zhi, pointing to the gooseneck bottle hanging from Silina's waist.

Serina took the bottle and handed it to Takashi, and followed him back to the Heavenly Tree, Vera had woken up, his face was free of the pain he had last night, and it wouldn't be long before he was back to normal.

"Vera, how does it feel, does the wound still hurt?" asked Sirina, bending down.

Vera didn't deny it, but the death-like pain was indeed gone, and if it weren't for Gao Zhi's constant encouragement to hold on, I'm afraid he would have killed himself like Stella.

Gao Zhi ...... Thank you for being with me last night. ”

"Ha, you're fine, how are you, do you have an appetite?" Gao Zhi took out the berries he had left yesterday out of his pocket, they were already a little dry, but they still had a lot of moisture.

Vera swallowed all the berries in a few bites, and it seemed like he couldn't get enough of it since last night.

"It's already seven o'clock, and it's not absolutely safe to stay in the Sky Tree, so we must urge Takagi to leave quickly. Gao Zhi glanced at the time on his phone, but at the same time, he was worried about whether Mu Fengye and Sakuruma and the Jingu Temple sisters in the back chased after them according to the marks left by the four palaces.

"Hmm, what about the four palaces?" Gao Zhi looked around under the heavenly tree and didn't find the figure of the four palaces, so he turned his eyes to Silina, who seemed to be with the four palaces just now.

"She's still praying over there for Stella's ghost, she's that kind of child, don't bother her. ”

Gao Zhi nodded, took out the broken knife that Shaya had discarded, carved the arrow mark on the trunk of the Heavenly Tree, and tried to keep its position as close to the bonfire as possible, so that Mu Fengye and the others would definitely be able to see this mark at a glance.

After everyone was ready, the team set off again, they didn't know where the destination was, they didn't know what Takagi was thinking, he had been planning an ulterior secret, but there was no sign of implementation, Kawada Teru and Jill were also very peaceful, as minions, they didn't make any strange moves.

The team has been walking in the forest for about half an hour, and the three people of Takagi who were walking in front suddenly stopped, and from just now they felt that the terrain here was getting higher and higher, and sure enough, they came to a hill along the road, and the high forest seemed to come to an end, and the vision in front was open, and they couldn't imagine that there would be such a place in this kind of forest.

"Takagi, look over there. Teru Kawada patted Takagi on the shoulder and motioned for him to look in the direction of eleven o'clock.

At first glance, it looks like a flat river, but in the distance there is something like a "building" made of gray stones, and if it is the same as the hanging garden, what is hidden inside?

"This kind of conspicuous place will definitely be targeted by others, and it seems that the time has come. Takagi looked down the sides of the stone "building", this is a valley in the forest, the area is very large, and the surrounding terrain is very complex, it is more like a battlefield born for war than the simple forest before!

Day 37, Number of survivors: Thirty-seven.
