Chapter 358
The forest on this side of the ridge had also rained yesterday. The amount of rain was not as much as that on the other side of the ridge, but the trunks, branches and leaves were still infiltrated and green. It is difficult for an ordinary fire to turn into a large-scale fire, but the fuel tank almost full of aviation fuel exploded That's another matter.

The No. 2 helicopter exploded at a low altitude above the forest, instead of detonating after the crash on the ground, causing less damage to the ground, but the impact of the shock wave was large.

The high-temperature flames seemed to fry a poached egg above the canopy, igniting a large number of branches and leaves, especially at the center of the explosion, the burning remains of the helicopter fell, and the burning fuel was like hot lava, flowing wherever it went, wherever it went Burning.

Helicopter No. 1 was helpless in the face of the sea of ​​flames below, so he had to go back to pick up Aurora first.

The rumble of propellers faded away.

"Cough cough!"

At the root of a tree, a gray-faced person climbed up, and only when she wiped her face did she reveal her fair skin.

Before the 33rd, she always wore a ninja mask, her face was not exposed to sunlight, and she was always stuffed in the mask, which was also abnormally pale. During this time, she didn’t need to wear a mask, and her face became pale and rosy. Healthy color, but it's a pity that I became an African citizen in the blink of an eye.

When the explosion happened, No. 33 had no time to think about it, and instinctively rolled her head on the ground. There happened to be a thick tree next to it, and some of its gnarled and developed roots were exposed, so she squeezed into the tree, which was as thick as an arm. Between the roots, curl up, resigned to fate.

After the shock wave of the explosion passed, she raised her head tremblingly. Just as she was about to get up, her head hit something with a bang, making a metal tremor.

She turned her head and took a deep breath, because it was a tail propeller of the helicopter, which was smashed here by the explosion, and penetrated deeply into the tree trunk like a sharp sword.

Just a little bit.

If the propeller had flown a little lower, she would have died.

What the hell, how could the helicopter explode all of a sudden?
Before the explosion, because the helicopter was out of control and was swaying wildly at low altitude, she and Catherine had retreated in advance, and were mentally prepared that the helicopter might crash and explode, but they did not expect the helicopter to blow up in the air, as if someone was It looked like a bomb had been planted in it and detonated.

Where is Catherine?

The trees were burning, and hot smoke and dust were engulfing sparks in bursts. The forest where the helicopter crashed had been charred, and the steel had been burned red and softened.

No. 33 turned out a pocket of the coat and cut it off with a short knife, wet the pocket cloth with water, covered his mouth and nose, and looked for the trace of Catherine.

She saw Catherine jumping into the air, saving Ouyang Caiyue and the baby on the way, and was blown away by the shock wave of the explosion, and at the moment of the explosion, Catherine turned her body on her back and used her body to replace Ouyang Caiyue and the baby. Withstood the shock wave.

Therefore, No. 33 is not optimistic about Catherine's situation, but admires Catherine's steadfastness.

She was actually standing closer than Catherine at that time, but she hesitated because she didn't know Ouyang Caiyue and the baby, and the powerful enemy was close at hand. Trust me, she still wants to go back to eat Aunt Wenhua’s red bean paste buns, and she doesn’t want to take risks to save strangers. She has the right to be selfish—it turns out that she is right afterwards, because the helicopter exploded afterwards, and Catherine, who took the risk to save others, is in a bad situation. wonderful.

While Catherine blocked Ouyang Caiyue and the baby with her body in the air, Kali blocked herself with the body of the co-pilot. Kali was closer to the helicopter, and the impact was greater, even with the co-pilot's body As a buffer, the body should have been injured too. Unfortunately, the vampire-turned Kali has too strong recovery ability. As long as she is not blown to pieces or burned to charcoal on the spot, there is a high probability that she can recover.

No. 33 didn't dare to shout, so he could only search in the direction where Catherine was blown away in his impression.

But fortunately, another helicopter left safely. As long as you persist for a while, it should bring reinforcements to arrive. When everyone is here, at worst, you will have to fight Kali to the death.

Ashes and sparks were floating everywhere, and new trees were constantly being ignited. The scope of the fire was expanding, and the visibility was extremely poor.

No. 33 lowered her body as much as possible to avoid the smoke, her eyes were blurred with tears, and the wet cloth covering her face was quickly dried, so she had to wet it again. Now she misses the ninja mask very much. Protects eyes and also filters toxic dust and particles from the air.

All kinds of animals ran past me from time to time, some were on fire, some were scorched and bald, they ran for their lives in a panic like a bereaved dog, and temporarily gave up hunting each other.

After searching for a while, she stopped. Between the crackling and burning of the branches, she seemed to hear the cry of a baby.

It should be around here.

She continued to follow the sound, and the baby's cry was getting closer and closer.

Finally, she saw a figure lying prone on the ground in front of her, so she quickened her pace and rushed forward.

"Who?"

A muffled voice asked, not Catherine's voice.

Catherine was pinned under a burning tree and her nun's gown was on fire, with holes burned in several places.

Under Catherine's body, there is still a person pressing down, it is Ouyang Caiyue.

Ouyang Caiyue held the baby in her arms, her body was bent into a bow like a prawn, and she lay on her side, otherwise no matter whether she was lying on her back or face down, she would have crushed the baby.

Catherine Ren's nun's clothes were burning but she was motionless. She should have been hit by the shock wave first, and then fell into a coma after being hit by a falling tree trunk after landing.

After seeing the situation clearly, No. 33 breathed a sigh of relief, because Catherine's condition was better than she imagined.

Catherine did turn around to block the shock wave for Ouyang Caiyue and the baby, but Catherine was carrying a cross sword on her back, and the wide blade protected her spine and vital organs.

In addition to the crossed swords, she slung over her shoulders the cylindrical wooden barrels they had hewn, filled with rainwater and sealed with wooden blocks to keep the precious rainwater from splashing out.

The fallen tree crushed the barrel on her back, and the rain from it soaked the clothes and hair on her back, so she was spared the flames for a short time.

No. 33 didn't know if Catherine had planned all of this before she sacrificed her life to save people, or if it was just because of being blessed by God, anyway, this was already the best result that could be obtained under the premise of saving people.

She cut off the tree trunk pressing on Catherine's back with a goat's horn, then pushed it aside, extinguished the sporadic burning flames on Catherine's clothes, turned Catherine over, and released Ouyang Caiyue who was pressed at the bottom.

Ouyang Caiyue had at most a few scrapes and bruises on her body, but the baby was safe and sound.

"Don't cry, you're saved." Ouyang Caiyue took out half a bottle of mineral water from her backpack and fed it to the baby with the bottle cap.

The baby took a few sips and stopped crying.

"Can you stand up?" asked 33.

"It's okay." Ouyang Caiyue stood up holding the baby, and was immediately coughed by a puff of smoke blowing over.

"The enemy is still nearby, get out of here first."

No. 33 untied the useless cracked wooden barrel on Catherine's back, and walked ahead with Catherine on his shoulders.

After walking a few steps, Ouyang Caiyue showed pain on her face, her left ankle seemed to be sprained, but she didn't make a sound, and limped behind No. 33.

The fire was still expanding, and they couldn't stop, otherwise, even if they didn't fall into the hands of the enemy, they would be caught up and burned to death by the forest fire.

Her ankle was getting more and more painful and seemed to be swollen, and No. 33 had no energy left to carry another person.

"Why don't you leave?" No. 33 noticed that she stopped.

"I have to rest for a while, you go first." Ouyang Caiyue leaned against a tree trunk to rest, and handed over the baby in the backpack, "By the way, take this little guy away, this guy is really lonely Xing, I am guilty of a horoscope."

"Isn't this child yours?" asked No. 33.

Ouyang Caiyue twitched her eyebrows, her face full of anger, "Do you think I look like a yellow-faced woman, a child's mother? If this child was born by me, I might as well find a piece of tofu and kill it!"

No. 33 felt very surprised, because she witnessed with her own eyes that at the critical moment of life and death, Ouyang Caiyue's top priority was to protect the baby, so she always thought that Ouyang Caiyue was the baby's mother.

"Persevere, this is not a place to rest." No. 33 persuaded.

"I know, you go first, I will follow after a short rest."

Ouyang Caiyue was very tired, mentally and physically exhausted. She could hardly hold on anymore. She thought she was saved, but fell into a crisis again. There was little hope of surviving. The sprained ankle became the last straw that crushed her will.

Forget it, she just wants to close her eyes and have a good sleep, and let the pain and despair go to hell.

Maybe she was destined to die in this forest, in the fire she caused by herself. This is the so-called "those who play with fire must burn themselves"?
No. 33 frowned, she didn't know that Ouyang Caiyue's ankle was sprained, and she didn't know Ouyang Caiyue at all, the two of them met by chance, and they didn't even know each other's name, in this case, it seemed that she didn't need to waste her words—— She could tell that Ouyang Caiyue was an adult, and adults were responsible for their own decisions.

"Okay, then don't delay too long."

She uttered the last word of benevolent advice.

"I see." Ouyang Caiyue nodded.

No. 33 took the backpack containing the baby, turned around and continued on.

Ouyang Caiyue let out a long sigh of relief, and sat down limply along the tree trunk, feeling relaxed.

It's finally over, her relay race, her long-distance running, finally ended here...

This was supposed to be the farewell between the two of them, but just after taking a few steps on the 33rd, the baby suddenly burst into tears, stretched out its short arms to Ouyang Caiyue behind him, and made a grasping movement with its fingers.

It is said that when a chick opens its eyes for the first time, it will regard the first moving creature it sees as its mother, so when the baby is locked in the toilet of the wrecked cabin, spending time in the dark After two or three days, when the toilet door was opened, would the first person who appeared from the light, Ouyang Caiyue, also be regarded as a substitute for the mother?
Ouyang Caiyue fled all the way with the baby in her arms. The baby was already familiar with her smell, breathing and voice unconsciously, and developed a sense of dependence on her similar to that of a mother. When separated from her, of course he would cry to express his resistance.

Number 33 was at a loss, how could such a loud cry come out from such a small body?It's almost like announcing their position to the enemy.

She has never taken care of the baby, she has never hugged her, she doesn't know how to coax the baby to stop crying, she can't cover the baby's mouth, right?But if the babies continue to cry like this, none of them will be able to go today.

No. 33 turned around and wanted to ask Ouyang Caiyue for help, but found that the latter was also crying silently.

That's right, Ouyang Caiyue, who had always been a loner, profit-oriented, knocked out her teeth and devoured blood, suddenly burst into tears just because she saw the baby's hand stretched out to her without her being aware of it.

Her soot-covered face was washed out of two muddy ditches by tears.

She didn't want No. 33 to see her crying, so she wiped her face indiscriminately, and it turned into a big face, but the tears were like a flood that opened the gate, and there was no intention of stopping at all, even her nasal cavity was blocked, so she wiped it off , snot and tears again, she has never been so embarrassed in her life.

"Don't look at me!" she said sharply.

Still looking at her, No. 33, without laughing at her, stretched out his arms and handed her the baby in the backpack again.

The baby's hand touched Ouyang Caiyue's hand, and the small palm could only hold one of the latter's fingers, but he held it tightly and stopped crying.

Ouyang Caiyue cried even harder, she didn't cry out, tears flowed out.

She bit her lower lip tightly, thinking to herself—it's really strange, why do babies cry when they want to, and stop when they want, but adults are so useless when they cry?
"You've rested 'for a while', it's time to move on," said No. 33.

After a few seconds.

Ouyang Caiyue wiped her face with her sleeve vigorously, wiped away the snot and tears, and took over the backpack containing the baby.

"Standing and walking choke to death. It is better to crawl in the fire."

She said, putting the pack on her back, literally getting on all fours, elbows and knees bent, crawling on the ground.

"Aren't you going? Or do you want to rest for a while?"

She crawled past No. 33, and seeing No. 33 standing still, she turned her head and asked.

"I don't need it for now, I will have plenty of time to rest in the future." No. 33 turned around with Catherine on her back and continued on her way.

It's a shame, if only I thought I could climb... Ouyang Caiyue regretted her gaffe just now.

Her body was full of strength again, and her will was stronger than ever - she didn't want to die in this forest, in the fire she set on fire, and she still had a lot of savings, so it would be too wasteful to hand it over to the bank up.

She wanted to leave this forest alive, even if she had to crawl, she had to crawl out alive!
 It seems that someone is slandering me for one chapter a day, obviously there is no less change, but there are no chapters, one chapter is equivalent to the previous two chapters!
