The excessive blood loss gushed like a spring, and it could not be stopped no matter what......

The wound was filled with a rust-like smell of mystery—

It felt like having tasted all the sweet and sour to my heart's content, and it was really uncomfortable.

Probably no one wants to actually have such an experience, right?

Suddenly, the vision slowly became blurred, and gradually even the focus was on the verge of collapse-

It was as if even one more straw would completely fall apart......

"Hey, hey, hold on...... Pull you out right now! ”

At this moment, the eyes of the two of them were as if they had seen angels......

"You are?"

"Don't talk yet, it's important to take care of the wound."

Unexpectedly, the moment the words fell, the surrounding scenery suddenly turned gray-

This is by no means a delusion. Although it is not an illusion, the world in the field of vision seems to be cut off, and it has become disconnected!

Suddenly, before Natalie came back to her senses, an explosion sounded in her ears that seemed to shake the entire space—

“？！”

If you don't hide quickly, I'm afraid that you will be implicated in the heat wave generated after the explosion in an instant!

In fact, after that, the boulder used as a shield in front of me also melted not long after the impact of the incessant waves.

"Stella?! Before you do this kind of thing, remind me too......"

"Sorry, I accidentally forgot ......"

"Don't take such an important matter for granted, okay?! We almost lost our lives! ”

"I'm sorry!"

In fact, Stella is such a character...... Once she focuses, she completely forgets about her surroundings -

In a sense, it's dangerous. It's a ...... that makes people worry.

At the same time, I also unconsciously sweated for her.

"You......"

Stella stuck out her tongue in embarrassment—

"By the way, how are the two of them hurting?"

"You can't double-check here, let's go to the shelter."

After Natalie's treatment for a day and a night, the brother and sister's injuries were almost healed. This made her breathe a sigh of relief as well.

However, I was really tired.

"Miss Olivia, I cooked some sweet potato porridge. Would you like some? ”

In fact, at this moment, he was tormented by the growing hunger and couldn't bear it. Of course, there is no reason to refuse-

"Thank you......"

"No, it's fine...... After all, that's all I can do—"

When she said this, her expression seemed to be a little complicated. However, if this is a matter of mind and privacy, you can't just ask, right?

“......”

In fact, in fact, the practice of sweet potato porridge is still taught by Rocky. It's just that his current position is somewhat delicate with that of the Knights Templar......

So Stella is reluctant to mention it on most similar occasions.

"Delicious ......"

Sure enough, the evaluation was as expected.

"Would you like to do it again?"

Natalie nodded without hesitation -

I haven't eaten well in the past few days. As a result, if you don't pay attention, you will become the current gobble.

But seeing her like this made Stella breathe a sigh of relief......

"What's wrong?"

It seems that I don't have any realization.

"No, it's just that it's been a long time since I've seen anyone laugh so much in such a terrible situation......"

"It's just a little surprised."

"Really?"

- Does that mean I'm childish? Probably not, right?

But even if it is, what does it matter?

At least at this moment, you can still relax, right?

To be honest, it seems that such an opportunity can only be enjoyed now-

"How long will we have the rest of the food?"

As a result, Natalie, who had just put down the bowl, became serious again......

"Probably a week or so, right? What's wrong? ”

After hearing this, Natalie sighed first. "What are we going to eat after that week?"

This is already equivalent to complaining-

"Just now, the head of the regiment said that he would probably be able to come to pick him up soon, and it won't take a week-"

For a moment, Natalie's eyes widened......

At this time, her joy was beyond everyone's eyes, and anyone could see it.

"Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier?!"

As soon as the words fell, I saw her so excited that she hugged Stella, who was startled and didn't know what expression to show-

"Because you didn't ask me, Miss Olivia...... Anyway, it hurts ......."

None of that matters, though. Because that's really good news.

However, in fact, Stella also knows, even without herself. Natalie can survive it all on her own, right?

"No, there's no way I'm going to survive this alone, right?"

"Huh?!"

- I didn't say a word, why was my thoughts seen through?!

“...... Why do you know what I think?! ”

The answer is actually quite simple, right? Because this guy has always been envious from the beginning...... Stella.

"You thought too much of me in the first place. This has been the case until now. Isn't it? ”

- Isn't that right?

She immediately showed this incredible expression.

"Of course not...... The reason why I'm acting so like you can't help but have such a delusion is only because—"

"Because of what?!"

In an instant, looking at her impatient appearance, if she really said it now, she would definitely be hit.

However, if you stop there, you will definitely be pestered and asked endlessly.

"You're too impulsive—"

As a result, Natalie had just finished speaking, and she was immediately very disappointed-

It was as if the whole person had withered.

So, don't let me say it......

"Ah...... Is it? ”

"So I didn't come in handy?"

“......”

Troublesome. This guy is really troublesome!

However, at the moment when the two of them finally could use their leisure time to tease each other like this......

Stella has to be vigilant for the new unidentified epicenter!

Directly below?!

Immediately afterwards, she didn't have time to remind her, so she could only escape from the place just now with Natalie in her arms!

Then, fuse at the moment of jumping!

"What's wrong? Enemy?! ”

As soon as the words fell, a roar came to the face—and the ground was unconsciously crushed into crater-like shapes!

The huge vibrations and shaking make it difficult to master the basic balance!

In other words, at this moment, the other party completely occupies the initiative......

Moreover, with just one blow, he knocked Stella away, who was already in a combat situation!

With ease, her tactical machine rolled and slid backwards dozens of meters away before she staggered back to regain her balance!

"Why is there no room for even a counterattack?!"

And this is not only Natalie's question, but also Stella's question now-

Although the blow just now was not a heavy blow, the opponent's speed was simply too fast......

In other words, it is not that "you can't fight back", but "it's too late to fight back"!

Just when she noticed this, the other party ignored her who was really ready to deal with it-

This can't help but surprise Stella!

"Why...... Why, that guy? ”

However, it didn't take long for her to notice the reason-

Of course, this is because, of course, there is more prey to obtain than yourself!

"Tsk?!"

"Did those guys sense the smell of blood?"

If that's the case, there's no doubt that they've both missed the best chance to escape!

Maybe everyone can't run anymore, right?

What made Olivia feel even more at a loss was ...... Stella's injuries seem to be much more serious than expected.

That is, just a little longer......

Everyone here, everyone will inevitably become the food that those guys use to fill their stomachs.

- Is there nothing that can be done?!

At this moment, she suddenly saw a utility room used to store equipment—

"There it is!"

However, thinking of a solution is completely different from putting it into action......

Even if you find a way to lure it away, what if you are attacked on the way?

However, if it is delayed any longer, Stella will!

"Big man, look here!"

There is no room for Natalie to weigh the pros and cons anymore!

"It's a bit far, but let's take a gamble!"

In a hurry, she could only shout with all her might-

I hope to draw the other party's attention away from the tents and Stella!

Needless to say, of course it worked!

“！”

Anyway, now, just run to your destination as best you can!

However, when she arrived at her destination, she realized that it was not an equipment room - the room was full of boxes.

And it looks like a container used to transport large cargo!

"Blocking the door with these things should still work—"

Then, after some hard work, the door that had been locked was finally completely blocked!

However, this kind of thing can't last long under the violent impact that this size will bring......

This made Natalie suddenly fall into a helpless situation-

“......”

Although it looked like a remote place in the equipment room, it might have taken a bit of effort to find it, but it was found......

It's only a matter of time before it's exposed! Even if it's in the shade at the corner of the two slopes to the south—

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine! Anyway, is there a way to deal with it? ”

“......”

Why don't you speak? Why don't you speak?!

"Let's see what's in the container first, right?"

"I ...... I know! ”

The rescued girl didn't seem to understand her situation until now, so she agreed without hesitation.

However, as expected, most of the containers were bulky and larger than her height, and even a bit of a struggle to move.

"What's in it?"

It would be nice if it were** -

That way, you'll be able to blow up that guy. Although, it is possible that you may be implicated, but!

But now there is no other way -

"That's right, if you want to survive as long as you can't survive, that's the only way to do it!"

However, Olivia knows better than anyone that even moving as many containers as they can to block the door with them is a futile effort.

Because...... Our opponent is the one who has the absolute advantage in strength.

These things might just need a single swing to destroy, to put it mildly, right?

In other words, it may not be time to implement the method that has been thought of, and it may be preempted by that guy!

"Miss Olivia, these are—"

In the midst of this shock, the two were overjoyed to discover...... These containers are really full of **!

"Great!"

Because she couldn't think of anything else.

"Maybe it works!"

And this can be said to be both a dying throes; It can also be said to be ignorant and unreasonable.

But in any case, human beings are the kind of creatures who never give up until the end.

That's why people like that guy were born-

I didn't even doubt it, and I did what I said without hesitation.

Such a person is either just a simple fool; Either that or just really believe in yourself

— and she, no matter how you look at it, undoubtedly belongs to the latter.

After all, if she didn't turn back, she wouldn't have fallen to this point of being driven to a dead end, right?

What a fool...... You.

"It's not going to really involve us—"

The two of them gathered the originally scattered containers together as much as possible; On the one hand, such an idea arose.

"Are you scared?"

"Of course I'm scared, to be honest, my hands are still shaking until now......"

"Really?"

It's not lying, just look at her expression to know -

It really looks like it's the end of the world!

I always think it's funny.

And just after she put the last container, as well as various tools such as the iron pestle, and fixed the position......

Suddenly, there was a huge depression in the door!

In an instant, she was so frightened that she couldn't move, and she just cared about making an unbelievable **!

"Are you already here......?"

At the same time, the ground gradually burst into a huge tremor that continued to tremble, as if it were shivering!

Earthquake...... In the past, adjectives like this have long been impoverished!

“！”

However, Olivia knew that at this moment she was more familiar than anyone else with sounds of this frequency—

And this voice has long been on an equal footing with the word "destruction" or "catastrophe"!

"Ahem, cough, ahem, ......" and he used up all the strength he had left at this time, and in the blink of an eye, he became a half-kneeling position!

"It doesn't matter, right!?"

"Stupid, it's better for you to worry about yourself than me."

"It may be a little late to ask now, but I still have to ask...... Do you want to live? ”

In the face of such a question, the answer is simply not to think about.

"Of course, of course I want to do everything I can to survive!"

After all, it was not easy to be saved!

You can't just die meaninglessly, can you?

In fact, this may have become everyone's wish, and it should be a right that everyone should be given as a matter of course.

And now, even such a right has to be obtained with all his might?

Why?

Whose fault is this? Could it be that all this is just the result of self-inflicted blame?

- As she pondered such a question, there seemed to be a louder movement from the other side of the door......

It seems that it can't be delayed any longer!

"Let's set the ** on fire!"

"Yes......"

Reinforced concrete is gradually losing its original role -

So in such a game that can't even be called a game, what broke into the field of vision of the two was a huge palm like a hill

...... And a head that resembles a human face!

And the caterpillar-like body......

Like a centipede; They look like scorpions, like monsters born out of hell!

From the day I saw humans, I never stopped hunting.

In the same way, from that day on, humanity naturally lost the ability and superiority to stand alone at the top of the food chain.

And until now, most people have attributed their appearance to punishment from the gods!

"If you want to live, take up arms to protect yourself! Don't be stunned, if you continue to procrastinate like this, you will be eaten! ”

Who was it in the first place, and who said that?

However, most people seem to feel that it is impossible to win them.

So, is it just sitting still?

No, it is impossible to ignite!

However, now the girl next to him has obviously recognized the fact that she has been denied several times-

She deservedly collapsed!

"It's impossible to win, what am I thinking?"

"Do you want to fight against these behemoths on your own?"

"No way, no way, no way! It's absolutely impossible to do! ”

Immediately afterwards, it was like a domino who had been pushed down, only to see that she fell into the whirlpool of self-denial and couldn't extricate herself!

But perhaps......

Perhaps, this is the reaction that ordinary people should have, right?

They have long been accustomed to the cycle and calm routine.

So......

In the end, they just naively think that such a thing is suddenly very far away from them from the beginning to the end.

That's why feelings like this arise at the moment when you have to make a decision.

However, at this moment, these feelings of self-denial are just a burden. is an unwanted existence......

It's good to get rid of it—

Isn't it possible to solve all the problems?

Of course, it is not enough to just do this, and Olivia knows it at this moment.

"It can be done! If it were you, I'm sure you could do it! ”

"And if you don't make up your mind, then it's just going to make the same tragedy happen again and again!"

"Do you want to witness hell like that?!"

"It's not! It's not like that......"

"Then show courage!"

In the face of her aggressiveness, the girl finally slipped out of its belly and behind it with a forward roll after dodging a blow that knocked the ground apart!

"Have you made up your mind?"

The answer is yes......

This also made Natalie feel relieved-

However, the ** behind him is about to explode!

"Shhhh Is it too late? ”

Obviously, they had to find a way to escape before then, but!

“......”

Then use the continuous double jump again to flexibly avoid each attack!

But if you continue to do this, it will only make the other person more angry.

And the time has been!

At this time, Stella, who suddenly appeared from above, used the full weight of the entire fuselage to give it a blow as if Mount Tai was overpowering!

"Get out of here now!"

Of course, at this moment, the roof has been completely destroyed - and once it comes into contact with the air, these countless ** behind it will detonate in an instant!

"Quick!"

There's no time to hesitate at this moment!

And at the moment when the two of them ran out of the house with all their might, the sky was dyed red by a mushroom cloud like a behemoth!
