Boom.

A hand-sharpened wooden barrel was thrown to the ground.

Number 33 licked his lips and took the last drop of water into his mouth as well.

There was only one bucket left on her back, and Catherine was about the same, and the forest trek consumed more water than they had imagined, and they had taken care to be economical, only one or two sips at a time, but it was still consumed quickly.

Will it still rain?

They looked up at the sunset on the horizon, and there was not even the slightest sign of rain.

"Let's find a place to rest today. No. 33 proposed, and carved another arrow into the tree, "At least you don't have to go hungry today." ”

On the way, No. 33 hunted and killed a few pheasants, although I don't know if they are protected animals, but they still have to eat, and big living people can't starve to death.

No. 33 didn't expect that the few shuriken he hid were actually used to kill chickens.

The most troublesome thing is the lack of water, these pheasants always have to pluck their feathers, remove their internal organs, bleed, and then have to clean them a little, otherwise Catherine is very picky in this regard, and refuses to eat anything, so that No. 33 secretly slandered her that it was a pity that she didn't go to the Red Leaf Academy, and her cleanliness should be very good with those daughters.

So some of the rainwater they carried was also used to wash the pheasants, and Catherine used a cross sword to bake a few stones red, and then wrapped the cleaned pheasants in leaves and roasted them between the stones, so that neither ash nor smoke was produced.

Today is full of food and drink, but the remaining water is only enough to drink tomorrow at most, even if it is a minimum of life sustainment, it can only last two days, and it is absolutely impossible to do such a luxury as washing prey with water tomorrow.

Catherine looked back at where they had come, and they looked back as they went, hoping that someone would catch up with them, but there was apparently little hope, for they were always moving forward, and even if someone saw their mark, it would take time to catch up.

They could not put all their hopes in others, so they could only continue to walk in the direction of the rescue team's helicopter haunts.

"Why don't you take a break, let's continue walking overnight, the temperature at night is low, and the water consumption is low. Catherine suggested.

No. 33 shook his head, "The forest situation at night is too complicated, and the walk is slow, and the gains outweigh the losses, so it's better to rest early, get up before dawn tomorrow, and set off when the first rays ......of dawn are revealed in the east."

As she spoke, Catherine suddenly raised a hand, "Shhhhhhh

Number 33 shut up and listened.

"Helicopter, helicopter!"

They heard the roar of the propellers in the distance, and unlike the official rescue team's helicopters, which only appeared in the sky and disappeared in a flash, this time the sound of the propellers was becoming clearer, indicating that the helicopter was approaching where they were, at least not out of reach.

They jumped up with excitement, lost in the forest for a few days, experienced all kinds of inconveniences, and they were desperate to return to the civilized world, even if it was better to eat bran in the civilized world than to suffer from the lack of water in the forest.

What's more, they have a lot of important information to convey to the outside world, and they don't need to let Lilith continue to wreak havoc.

The sound of propellers seemed to come from all directions, and it was impossible to hear which direction it was coming from.

"Up the tree!"

Without hesitation, the two of them shook off the barrel they were carrying, jumped on the branches, and jumped from branch to branch to side, climbing as high as they could.

"Over there!" 33 geased.

Catherine also saw that two helicopters were flying from the north-west one after the other.

The afterglow of the setting sun shines on the fuselage glass and propellers, reflecting a dazzling red light.

To their surprise, the livery of the two helicopters was different from that of the official rescue helicopter, and even more bizarrely, there was something hanging underneath one of the helicopters, but it was too far away to see.

No wonder the two helicopters took a different route than the official rescue helicopters, they must have been privately owned or independently owned.

Regardless of where they came from, judging by their current flight path, they would fly through the air two or three kilometers away from them within a minute.

"Catherine, signal them with your sword!" reminded Thirty-Three.

The opportunity was fleeting, and the crew of the helicopter did not bother to observe the situation behind them, and once the helicopter staggered past them, there was no longer a chance to observe their distress signals.

Catherine stood on a high branch, one holding the trunk of a tree, and the other holding a crosssword.

The blade glowed with incandescent light, and the branches and leaves that were closer were scorched first, then sparks and light smoke.

She swung her crosssword from side to side, hoping the helicopter crew would notice.

Turn your head this way and look this way!

"This way! this way!" No. 33 knew that his voice would be drowned out by the noise of the propellers, but he couldn't help but shout loudly, otherwise it would be even more uncomfortable to do nothing and watch it.

The first helicopter flew over without even slowing down, and their hearts were half cold, and just when the second helicopter with something was about to pass by, the nose suddenly tilted slightly, and made a stop and deceleration action, and then the fuselage slowly circled, and the nose was facing their side.

Catherine swung her crossbow harder, and Number 33 shouted louder.

The first helicopter also stopped moving, and the two helicopters hovered in the air, not approaching them for the time being, probably because the pilot was asking his superiors.

No. 33 and Catherine were nervous again with a sense of relief, the two helicopters obviously did not pass here for a rescue mission, so the pilot was hesitating.

"Please, even if you don't want to save us, at least inform the other helicopters of our coordinates!" said 33 anxiously.

Judging by her experience, if the two helicopters were on some shady and covert mission, they might not only not save them, but would also be tight-lipped about seeing them.

"If a man is dragged to death, you will be delivered, and he will be killed, and you must stop him. ”

Catherine bit her lower lip and silently recited the words of the proverbs, as if to speak to a helicopter pilot.

The helicopter actually hovered for only a few tens of seconds, which was as long as centuries for them.

The driver picked up the walkie-talkie: "Miss Aurora, we have a new situation here. ”

Jiang Chanji and the others were moving forward in the forest while looking for the mark left by No. 33, and they all stopped when they heard the words.

Aurora picked up the walkie-talkie: "What's the situation?"

The others stared worriedly at the walkie-talkie, thinking it was bad news that the vampire had escaped from the cage.

Driver: "We see a flashing signal, it could be that someone is in distress and is calling for help. ”

Flash signal?

Could it be those who, like Ouyang Caiyue, ventured into the forest for the sake of a reward?

Under normal circumstances, no matter who you meet, even if you are a person who is obsessed with money, you can help if you can, otherwise if you sit idly by, the other party may really die in this primeval forest, but these two helicopters shoulder too important missions, carrying human and physical evidence of the air crash, and they can't take risks casually.

Aurora: "Who is it?"

Driver: "It's too far away, the light is not good, I can't see clearly." ”

"Could it be the 33rd?" said Xiao Sui, which was also what everyone thought in their hearts.

Aurora: "You can get closer, but be cautious, report the situation at any time, and don't rescue without my orders." ”

"Yes. ”

The two helicopters changed direction and flew towards 33.

When the helicopter flew closer, No. 33 recognized the logo of the Aurora family painted on the fuselage, and finally relaxed completely, and guessed who the pilot was just contacting and asking for instructions.

Sure enough, they came looking for her.

A current of heat surged through No. 33's heart, and the stagnant aura that had been blocking her chest for days was finally cleared by the heat, even easier than when she actually left the forest.

Seem...... They weren't particularly desperate to get rid of her, either.

"What's that?" Catherine squinted at the setting sun, staring at the cage hanging beneath the helicopter, feeling like it was filled with a human, not an animal.

No. 33 is in a good mood, no matter what is in the cage, as long as he can leave this forest.

Driver: "It's a woman who signaled, and she's ...... She held a cross-shaped two-handed sword that glowed brightly. ”

Aurora and Jiang Chanji didn't react when they heard this, because they had never seen Catherine's cross sword, and Arabella, who took the opportunity to sit and rest, jumped up and exclaimed excitedly, "It's Catherine!

Everyone was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"

"Absolutely! Only Catherine can light the crosssword!" Arabella folded her hands and prayed with her back to the sky, thanking God for keeping Catherine safe.

Aurora: "How many of them are there?"

Driver: "I only see two. ”

Two?

Everyone who was cheering suddenly had a smile on their faces.

Number 33 and the five nuns add up to a total of six people, and now it is certain that one of the two is Catherine, then the other is likely to be number 33, otherwise the number "33" would not be specifically indicated on the mark.

And what about the other four nuns?

Of course, it could also be that the driver was limited in his vision and did not see the other four nuns, after all, the forest was too dense, and if the other four nuns were standing under the tree, the driver would not have been able to see them.

But thinking of the two wooden bowls that everyone had found before, a not-so-good premonition gradually shrouded their hearts.

Could it be ...... Only survived two people, No. 33 and Catherine?

Arabella's mood also fell from the peak to the bottom, and although she was glad and grateful that Catherine was still alive, every nun in the convent was her good sister, and she could not bear to hear about the death of any of her sisters.

Aurora: "Ask about their identities closely." ”

The helicopter quickly lowered its altitude, and the strong air currents stirred by the propellers blew 33 and Catherine around with the branches.

The helicopter with the thing hanging was hovering in the air, and the other helicopter flew as low as it could, hovering above them, and the pilot poked his head out and shouted, "What's your name?"

"I'm Number 33! She's Catherine, are you sent by Aurora?" shouted Number 33 with his hands on his lips.

The driver nodded and fed the information back to Aurora.

If it was another survivor, or someone who had entered the forest for a bounty, Aurora would ask the driver to write down the coordinates and send them to the official rescue team, who would carry out the rescue, but since it was 33 and Catherine, it was a different matter - 33 and Catherine had fallen to the point of cutting wood into a bowl, and the situation was definitely not good, and they could not delay any longer.

Aurora thought for a moment, "Helicopter No. 1 is on standby in the air, Helicopter No. 2 is close to the rescue, pay attention to safety." ”

An iron cage containing vampires was suspended under Helicopter No. 1, making it difficult to carry out rescue.

Helicopter No. 2 took the order and descended further.

Both helicopters had been specially modified, with one side of the cabin door removed and replaced with an electric winch and rope, and No. 33 saw a slightly older woman sitting in the cabin, holding a baby, looking at them impatiently.

No. 33 had never seen this man, let alone this baby, and wondered who this was? Why did he bring the baby to such a dangerous forest? And the baby was still in a backpack? What is the custom of the country?

"Wait a minute! I'll get you up at once!" shouted the driver, "Drop the rope!"

The co-pilot squeezed from the cockpit to the passenger compartment and operated the electric winch, which hung down the long rope.

"Sorry! It's windy, can you jump up and grab the rope?" shouted the driver.

As they walked through the forest, they felt only a gentle breeze, because the dense trees blocked the wind, but the wind above the canopy was quite strong, and the falling ropes were swayed by the wind.

At the bottom of the rope, there were still five or six meters away from the horizontal branch where No. 33 was standing, but the pilot did not dare to release the rope down, if the rope was blown by the wind and entangled with the branches, the helicopter would face the tragedy of plane destruction and death.

"No problem!"

Number 33 herself wears shoes issued by the Ninja Academy, similar to Light Boots, allowing her to easily jump out of the reach of ordinary people, and although her ninja suit is too torn to wear, her shoes are fine.

The same is true of Catherine, the monastery is not short of money, but they choose to practice in hermit to hone their minds.

This height is not difficult for either of them, the only slight difficulty is to master the strength, if you jump too high, you will directly hit the high-speed rotating propeller.

"I'll go first. ”

No. 33 said, his knees bent and about to jump, but the unhappy-looking woman in the passenger compartment of the No. 2 helicopter pointed to a nearby location as if she had seen something, and said, "Isn't there a third person?"

When No. 33 and Catherine heard this, they chuckled in their hearts, and their hearts said that it was going to be bad!

They've always been two people, where is the third person?

Sure enough, before they could react, a figure jumped up from a nearby tree and pounced on Helicopter No. 2 at great speed.

Stealing incense
