Many of the people in the camp of the giant tree had taken off their coats and spread them on the ground, because they had no tents or other camping tools, so they had to sleep peacefully, most of them had eaten dinner, and the night watchmen had decided that the patrol would continue until four o'clock in the morning.

"Xiaokai, they haven't come back yet, it's already dark. Hades didn't know how many times he glanced at the slope that Yang Xiaokai and they entered, but he never saw them coming back, "Samuzo, otherwise I'll go up and take a look." ”

"It should be close. Samusa unhurriedly used a flashlight to shine the calculation written on the ground, but he didn't expect that he would delay for so long and not solve the final result, which is related to whether they can leave this world safely, and they must not slack off at all.

"Huh, do you mean they're coming back soon?"

"Well, the two children of Xiaokai and Sakurama will definitely set the time of return before dark, and with some unexpected accidents, they are almost on their way back now. Help, get some dinner for them, I'm almost done here. ”

"Good. Hades stood up and looked at the afterglow of Samusa's flashlight, she had already written densely on the ground about a few meters away, and sure enough, it was beyond the calculation power of ordinary people, and she could still chat normally while calculating such complex things, I really don't know what the structure of her brain is.

After about five minutes, there was movement at the exit of the forest above, and everyone was focused on it, and to be on the safe side, Fujiwara and his gang raised their guns and aimed at what was about to appear.

"Whew, it's finally back. ”

"What, everyone was shocked. Seeing that it was a human coming out of the forest, a young woman in the camp stroked her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, you guys, what's going on up there?" asked Fujiwara aloud.

Ibaraki jumped down the slope first, shook his head, and said, "There are some herbivores above, we didn't encounter carnivorous beasts all afternoon, but there are a lot of Yucher there, let's continue walking below." ”

"Sister, be careful, follow me slowly. Yang Xiaokai in the rear pulled Sakuruma with one hand, and the other injured arm reluctantly illuminated the slope under her feet with his mobile phone, which was almost the same as the expected time to return, which is good news, at least it shows that the road above is still easy to walk, but if such a large group of people go up together, it will be a trouble to meet You Che.

"Three months. At the same time, Samusa, who was in the distance, suddenly muttered to himself.

"Hmm, what three months?" Hades Osamu curiously walked towards Samusa with a flashlight, only to see that the final answer was written behind the equal sign on her ground, and the conclusion was ninety-one days, which is converted into three months, "Samusa, what is this time?"

Yang Xiaokai and his party were attracted by the movement on Samusa's side, and Fujiwara also approached under Hanajima's orders.

"The rift in time and space will exist and disappear regularly, judging by the temperature and altitude of this world and the composition of the air, this exit appears about once every three months, and the closing time is one day, but it also appears many times. ”

"How many times?" Fujiwara asked.

"Four times. ”

"Four, isn't that a year?" Ibaraki exclaimed, "Does that mean we'll have to get there in a year's time before we can get out of that place?"

"That's it. Samusa nodded.

"How long will it take to get there at our current speed?" Yang Xiaokai opened the map and found that the distance traveled today was only a drop in the bucket to reach the finish line, and the road was still far away, and he didn't know what he would encounter on the way.

"Eight months at the earliest, that's the normal rush time except for sleeping at night, and if there are any obstacles, the time will have to be counted again, but it seems to be quite generous, and I don't think any more obstacles on the road will make it take us another four months to find the right path. Samusa breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "The biggest problem now is that this exit that God said does exist, but no one knows what kind of state it is in now, and if it has been opened three times, then we only have three months left. ”

"It's impossible to walk the whole distance in three months, right?" Hades swallowed and measured the map, which would take at least half a year to complete with a pair of legs.

"It's just speculation, that's the worst scenario......"

"Nope. Yang Xiaokai interrupted Samuzuo's words, and said, "The worst expectation is that this exit does not exist at all. ”

Everyone fell silent, even Samusa, who was full of confidence just now, was speechless, it was indeed difficult to believe that there was really a space-time rift waiting for them thousands of kilometers away, and they were just working towards a potentially illusory goal.

"Kai, don't say such frustrating words. ”

"I'll report the situation here to the boss truthfully, and remember to let us know as soon as I have new information. Fujiwara had a general understanding of the situation and turned to leave.

"Now, Miss Samusa, can we really get there in eight months?"

Samusa bit his nails and looked at the equation on the ground without saying a word, and only replied after a long time, "Probably not." ”

……

The next day, the forest was lit up again, and people put aside the gloom of the night and ushered in a new day.

"It doesn't seem like anything happened last night, is it because there wasn't a fire?" Yang Xiaokai asked Samusa, who was not far away, as he packed up his things.

"It doesn't look like something is happening with the night watchmen, and I don't know why, but it feels like all the carnivorous monsters are deliberately avoiding the tree. They're nothing like what we humans care about, at first we didn't feel safe just because there were a few vampire trees growing under this tree, but the monsters didn't seem to be afraid of them because they were ordinary. ”

"And what are they taboo about?"

"Probably this Heavenly Tree. Samusa said as he looked up at the giant tree that reached into the sky.

"Tenki? Is that it? Saki Sasa is very good at naming these things. ”

"I'm going to hit the road after dinner, and on the way I'll study the photos you guys took on it yesterday. ”

A group of forty-one people was ready to go around seven o'clock, they had already survived the first day in this forest, to be honest, it was a great encouragement for many people, if they could survive here for one day, they would be able to live for the next day, this was not the territory of the Grim Reaper, as long as they united, they could reach the exit as soon as possible.

Near noon, he encountered a Mackay, but was killed by the three Fujiwara trio, who had already known their weaknesses, so that their position among the people was somewhat more secure, and the humans who tried to leave the other world had the illusion that they would not be able to reach the exit alive without them.

"Take a break here and don't go too far. "Ranch gave the order, and everyone began to do it, they had invisibly built a strong relationship, and now the appearance of those who opposed them may not end well.

Everything was calm until the team set off again, but Fujiwara began to get annoyed.

"Fujiwara, it's time to go. Hanashima urged.

"Boss, we're missing someone. "Fujiwara had counted the number of people three or four times, but no matter how he counted, there were only forty.

"Is there anyone else who hasn't come?!" F asked loudly into the crowd.

No one responded, and no one found out who the missing person was.

"Boss, otherwise let's go directly, I just said not to go far, it's all self-inflicted. Ranch suggested.

Hanashima snorted lightly and shook his fingers: "We can't leave anyone behind now, Lanchi, if we want to gain a foothold here, we have to find a way to solve the joys and sorrows of the common people." ”

"Understood, Boss. ”

"Does anyone know who's missing?" Hanashima shouted.

At this moment, one of the girls in the team raised her hand tremblingly: "That...... Mr. Hanajima, there is a man named Okukura Linkai who seems to be missing, and I remember that he just said that he was going to make it easier, but no one paid attention to him. ”

"Is Okura near the sea?" "That guy is gone." The crowd sighed, it seemed that many people knew him, but why didn't he find out in the first place?

"Then please everyone disperse to find him, the time is ten minutes, whether you find Mr. Okura or not, come back here to gather, if you really can't find it......" Fujiwara did not continue, but people already knew what he was trying to say, so they immediately set off to find the figure of Okukura Linhai.

"You, can you come over for a moment?" Samusa stopped the girl who had just raised her hand and pulled her aside.

"Me?" the girl pointed to herself, then looked to the side, and saw that it was only she who walked towards Sakisa.

"My name is Hades Samusa, what's your name?"

Shimosaki...... Cool Moon. The girl said cautiously.

"Shimosaki-san, where was the last time you saw Mr. Okukura?" asked Sakisa.

Shimozaki was stunned, and turned her head and pointed to the place where she was resting just now, where there was a group of trees near the bushes, and the back road was almost blocked, since she heard Okura's voice, which meant that he was not far from her at that time.

"Sister Sakisa, do you have any clues?"

"It should be over there. Samusa patrolled around the trees, and finally fixed his eyes on a small path in the oblique, although it was a path, it was only a place that looked like a road, and people always chose such a place as a path in their shallow consciousness.

"Let's go over and see. Hades set off and walked to the path.

"Xia Cheng, you are here to accompany my sister, otherwise when you come back after a while, you won't know where to meet without anyone. Yang Xiaokai followed behind the Hades couple, and at the same time, Yu Guang glanced at a strange look in Shimosaki's eyes, but he couldn't tell him what was strange.
