"There is a huge movement in the southeast."

With a flick of her finger, Carly projected the little bird's vision onto her own retina and began to watch the source of the riot.

When Carly saw the source of the loud noise, she was so frightened that she almost fell off the treetop.

"Aaaaaaaaah!!"

At the critical moment, Pace supported Carly's back, allowing her to stay steadily on the tree canopy.

"Be careful, Miss Carly," Pace said helplessly, his eyes still darting around, "I'm not sure I can catch you if you fall."

"You broke me, Little White Flower will come after you," Carly cleared her throat awkwardly, then immediately regained her composure, "More than that, we're in trouble."

"What did you see?"

"Etrisna."

Carly's words were brief, but her brows were slightly furrowed.

Looking from the perspective of the little bird, Carly saw the crazy woman: [North Star] Itrisna Lansta.

The combat uniform she was wearing was almost torn, and the branches and leaves in the jungle scratched her flesh, but it did not diminish the madness in her eyes at all.

But this was not what surprised Carly. What really made Carly tremble from the bottom of her heart was the big guy behind Itrisna.

It was a huge mechanical bio-man, at least three meters tall, Carly estimated. His entire body was covered in pitch-black armor, and the semicircular head was like a pot lid, firmly covering his head.

And at his waist, Carly saw a disgusting scene: a human head, hung by a dog tag chain, turned into an apron, wrapped around the waist of the cyborg.

"That pervert..."

Carly clenched her fists and watched Etrisna frantically chasing the remaining contestants. She was still wielding the bone whip and mechanical spine in her hands, and each attack could knock down a large tree, mixed with some screams.

In front of Etrisna, countless people were running. This was the first time Kali saw people not attacking each other in the competition: they were running for their lives.

The direction they were fleeing in was a light signal not far away - they wanted to escape from this hell, they wanted to escape from Itrisna's raid.

Although it was very cruel, in Carly's eyes, this was an opportunity:

"Little White Flower, go to the nearest escape pod and stop them."

Carly spoke to Pearlis through the network formed by the little birds in a flat tone.

At the same time, in the dense forest not far away, a pair of blood-red eyes quietly lit up.

"receive."

Pulling aside the vines, Perlis looked up at the sky. She immediately saw the light signal floating under the dark clouds. It was the last shelter before the storm came and the place where all refugees had to go.

And now, she was going to go there and stop them.

Because this is a competition.

......

7) In the Name of Original Sin (Part 5)

"Jessica!"

Enduring the severe pain in his right hand, Kemp desperately crawled to Jessica's side and held her wrist.

He saw that Jessica's wrist was covered with broken crystals - the crystals were unevenly distributed, and appeared dotted on the girl's fair skin, which was very creepy.

It's carpal tunnel syndrome. Jessica has carpal tunnel syndrome.

When is it

"..."

Jessica was still drowsy, her eyes narrowed slightly, beads of sweat the size of beans dripping down her forehead.

“Um…ah…”

Amid the indistinct murmurs, Kemp seemed to hear his own name:

"Little...Little Camp..."

"I'm here, I'm here," Kemp held Jessica's hand, "Xiao Xi, you..."

Hearing Kemp's response, Jessica's eyebrows twitched slightly, and then a smile appeared on her face:

"I...I have played a role...?"

Kemp's shoulders trembled slightly, and he met Jessica's slightly opened eyes and saw the bloodshot in the girl's eyes.

"You...you idiot..."

Kemp held Jessica's hand tightly, tears gathering in his eyes.

"Hold on tight, we're so close, soon, soon we'll be able to..."

"Ah... stars... so many stars..."

Jessica whispered softly, and for a moment, stars seemed to flash in her eyes.

She squeezed Kemp's hand back with the same force, her slender fingertips trembling slightly.

"Mom...I forgot to add more firewood..."

Before she finished her words, the girl closed her eyes slightly and fell into a deep coma.

......

Enduring the severe pain, Kemp used the bandage from Jessica's medical kit to wrap his almost unconscious right hand. The whole process was very painful, and after it was over, Kemp's mouth corners were still twitching subconsciously due to the pain.

If it was Jessica, she would definitely be able to wrap it better.

Kemp looked to the side and saw Jessica lying flat on the bank of the stream, sound asleep. Kemp simply bandaged her wrist that was corroded by the crystals, and her breathing became stable, and it seemed that her life would not be in danger in the short term.

But Kemp knew that Jessica's situation wouldn't last much longer.

While bandaging himself, Kemp frantically searched in his mind for the chance that Jessica would be infected with crystal wrist inflammation. After all, this symptom would only have a high infection rate if the Vo1d crystal invaded the body, and it was unlikely that Jessica would be infected from Aunt Enlia.

After a simple process of elimination, Kemp immediately deduced the only possibility that Jessica was infected with crystal wrist inflammation:

When Yu's shot shattered the gunsmith's wrist, the flying crystal fragments pierced Jessica's arm.

Judging from the gunsmith's condition, Kemp speculated that his crystal wrist inflammation was already in the late stage. The crystal lesions at this stage were extremely aggressive, which was probably why Jessica's symptoms recurred so quickly after she was infected with crystal wrist inflammation.

When the group first entered the forest, Jessica had already treated her wound while Kemp and Yu were not paying attention, and lied that it was just a scratch when she was caught by the gunsmith, in order to divert Kemp's attention.

What a stupid girl, if she could have said it earlier, at least...

"hateful..."

Kemp hammered his left hand on the ground, frowning. He knew that the current situation was a blessing in disguise: at least the evil ghost-like being left without killing the three people, probably because he judged that they had no chance of survival.

But unfortunately, the evil ghost's judgment was correct, and now the three of them are in a dead end.

The evil ghost took away Yu and Jessica's dog tags, although for some reason he did not take his own dog tags, but this was an irreparable loss.

In the Treacherous Forest, losing a dog tag means losing a life, unless they rip another dog tag from someone else's chest.

And they were unable to fight at all: Kemp was wounded in the right hand with the gun, Jessica fell into a coma, and as for Yu...

Kemp looked towards the stream and saw Yu still kneeling on the ground. He was staring blankly at the stream, staring at his reflection in it.

His heart is probably dead. It's basically impossible to expect him to play a role at this time.

“…”

Kemp clenched his fists, and his gaze turned to Jessica again, looking at her sleeping face: the girl's cheeks were calm, as if she was floating in some intoxicating dream.

He thought back to the little hotel in Lavis: the promise they made together by the window dotted with stars formed by the traffic:

"After we come back this time, if we have extra money, let's move out of Shouma Lane together."

"Hehehe, it's a deal then."

"..."

Emotions burst out from his heart, and Kemp was not a man who was indecisive. In just a moment, he grasped his biggest idea.

He wanted to escape with Jessica.

He wanted to be with Jessica forever.

"..."

The mist filled the stream, and the sound of the water continued. The dark clouds in the sky rolled more and more densely, and the red factor energy thunder continued to approach the ground. It would not be long before it would touch the land supported by bones and blood.

It's been so long, are we going to give up now?

"Boom——"

The factor energy thunder flashed and reflected on Kemp's cheek.

At that moment, he made up his mind, stood up, and slowly walked towards the rain.

When he walked in front of Yu, the dazed boy raised his head and looked at Kemp.

"Let's go, Rain, the escape pod is close."

"..."

Yu's eyes were very empty. He looked at Kamp, as if it took him a long time to understand what he meant.

Then, Yu spoke softly, her voice as ethereal as mist:

"I can't do it..."

"Is there anything I can't do?" Kemp's voice was very excited. "We have come this far, are you going to give up, Noble Rain?"

"Don't talk about that, I've had enough..."

Yu lowered his head again and looked at his reflection in the stream. He stared at himself in the stream in a daze, and for a moment, he even wanted to tear his cheeks apart.

"I am nothing, I am trash..."

"Stand up," Kemp said, "At least we can get Jessica out."

"So what?" Yutou didn't even raise his head. "My gun is gone, and the person who helped me repair it is gone too. I can't change anything, so please..."

Before Yu could finish his words, he saw something being handed to him by Kamp.

When he took a closer look, his eyes suddenly widened and his mouth opened wide.

That was Kemp's pistol, with delicate patterns carved on the gun, still shining under the dark clouds.

He raised his head and met Kemp's resolute face:

"My right hand can no longer hold a gun, so you use my gun."

Kemp moved the pistol closer to Yu and continued:

"Remember? This is the last gun that the old gunsmith repaired. This gun once belonged to my father. He was the Blade of Babel, the one who stood on the top of the Tower of Babel and overlooked the world."

"Didn't you also say that you were born to stand on the top of the Tower of Babel? If I remember correctly, the rain at that time was very impressive."

"Take this gun. I still have the dog tags. At least we can get Jessica out. After that, we can find a way to take the dog tags of other people. We will definitely have a chance to escape."

"..."

Yu stared at Kemp in a daze, as if he hadn't heard a word. All he could see was the gun, and the scene of the old gunsmith taking over the gun and carefully repairing it.

A gun, when you pull the trigger, can kill.

"..."

In the silence, Yu stood up, and the light in his eyes suddenly changed.

He took the pistol handed to him by Kemp, looked at it carefully for a while, and then put the pistol into the holster.

Then, he glanced at the dog tag on Kemp's chest, swallowed his saliva, and nodded slightly:

"let's go."

Yu's tone sounded much calmer, but Kemp could hear the power that could not be concealed in it: he knew that his words had worked.

"So, the awesome rain is back?" Kemp raised his eyebrows slightly. "Can you still shoot accurately?"

"Do not talk nonsense."

Yu said, tightening her hood slightly again and walked towards the direction of the prism signal.

Looking at the resolute figure, Kemp smiled slightly, then picked up Jessica and walked forward with the rain.
