I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

Rentaro caught the object thrown to his chest. It was five small syringes connected together. It contains bright red liquid medicine and has a cap on the pinhole at the front.

"This is my farewell gift to you. This was produced during gastroenterovirus research. If it is said to be an AGV experimental drug, do you know something about it?"

Rentaro was dumbfounded, staring at the liquid inside.

"If possible, I still don't want you to have the chance to use this. If you die, there will be one less visitor to this basement, and I will be very embarrassed.

of. "

Not knowing how to express his gratitude, Rentaro stood blankly for a while.

"Satomi, I have a very important proposal, do you want to hear it?"

"What?"

Sumire walked over and gently put her hand on his shoulder.

"Well...if you want to die, please die beautifully."

"ha?"

"If possible, I hope to freeze to death... No, no, I don't dare to hope. In this case, it doesn't matter even if you starve to death. I will pour turpentine from the chrysanthemums of your corpse, and then wrap it in alkali Take it to the sun."

"Mummy display?"

"Your understanding is really good, don't worry~ As a burial gift, I will put Ms. Kisara's underwear on your head, and then place you in the most conspicuous place in this university, hahahahaha."

"I decided that when I die, I'm going to hold a bunch of grenades and blow myself up."

Asking himself what kind of threat this was, Rentaro felt gloomy as he thought that he could not die casually.

"Rentaro, can I say one more thing?"

Sumire sat on the chair, raising her thighs wrapped in black stockings. Rentaro was mentally prepared, thinking that he would not be fooled again.

But he was mistaken.

"Ten years ago, from the day the gastrea began to expel humans, my world changed drastically. Corpses were everywhere and rivers of blood flowed. Even if I could use a thousand words, they would not be enough to express that hell. . But, even so, what I did to you is unforgivable."

Sumire clutched the pendant with the photo on her chest tightly, trembling all over. Rentaro understood that there were photos of Sumire's lover inside.

"I was crazy at that time and didn't know how to apologize to you."

Rentaro hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Doctor...Since that day, I have never resented you, doctor."

Sumire was silent for a while, then Rentaro glanced at her pendant one last time, inserted the weapon into the holster and turned around.

"If I die, please help me take care of Sister Kisara..."

"Huh? Are you asking me, a research geek who has been called a gloomy otaku for thousands of years, to take care of other people's children?" Sumire rolled her eyes and waved her hands vigorously to urge Rentaro to leave, and at the same time said: "I don't care. ——Wouldn’t it be nice to come back alive!”

"Really...Sorry, this request is indeed too much for you, doctor."

"I'll mummify you now."

"I'm leaving!" Rentaro seemed to be running out of the basement, not forgetting to grab his handbag full of weapons and equipment.

...

Rentaro's sleeves were pulled, and his thoughts returned to the present. The sound of helicopter rotors whizzing through the air outside the window immediately returned to his ears.

"Are you worried, Rentaro?"

"No......"

Wearing a green flight suit and looking slightly bloated, Enju stared at Rentaro intently. She had been pressing her lips together ever since, squirming excitedly.

"So, is this your first time in an unexplored territory?"

Yanzhu nodded.

Sure enough, living inside the giant stone monument, one rarely goes outside for activities. Thinking that he must support Yeonju, Rentaro cheered up.

Just then, the driver said: "We've arrived."

Rentaro held out his hand to Enju.

"Let's go, Yanzhu, we have to save the Tokyo area and come back alive."

"Well, don't worry, leave it to me, Rentaro!"

Chapter 83 Ladder to Heaven

Cheng Rang stood on the top of the mountain, covering his forehead with his hands and looking at the cluster of helicopters in the distant sky.

"Sure enough, Rentaro is here too. Now I have no doubt that he is the protagonist."

As if thinking of some interesting scene, Cheng Rang smiled and Letitia walked slowly from behind.

"Lina is asleep, and the stronghold has been properly set up."

"Thanks for your hard work."

"It's just a piece of cake. Can we set off now?" Leticia jumped into Chengrang's arms.

"certainly."

The two figures disappeared instantly, turning into an afterimage that shot towards a huge needle-shaped building in the distance.

...

Looking up at the helicopter returning home after completing the battle, Rentaro suddenly felt uneasy. The next time you're in a helicopter, it's either when the battle ends successfully or when you're put in a body bag and taken out.

From now on, you have to blaze your own trail.

Rentaro and the others landed in the vast forest. The towering evergreens were growing lush and lush, and it was night so the view was not good. Perhaps because of the heavy rain a few days ago, the entire forest was soaked, and the nostrils were filled with a strong earthy smell.

Putting this aside, we can't stay here forever.

Rentaro walked in front and Enju followed behind him. Rentaro waved the machete in his hand to split open anything that might hinder Enju's progress behind him.

Because although Enju has a strong self-regeneration ability, even if she is scratched by a tree branch, it only takes a moment to heal, but the pain is still there, and Rentaro still doesn't want her to get hurt.

The towering tree canopy completely blocks the moonlight from the forest walls, so the forest is very dark.

Rentaro's miscalculation was that the map he obtained earlier was completely useless. Since this was a map from ten years ago, Rentaro certainly expected that there would be errors.

, but not to mention the vegetation, even the subtle terrain has changed.

Rentaro was immediately put into the dilemma of using the flashlight.

In fact, this will tell the hostile gasterozoans and enemies who don't know where to hide their location, so Rentaro is reluctant to use it, but he can't care about it now.

As Rentaro turned the switch, a clear white beam of light pierced through the darkness and shot around, illuminating various things.

The temperature is obviously slightly chilly, but wherever the light reaches, ferns and shrubs unique to tropical rainforests extend endlessly.

There are even some twisted trees that have never been seen before, stretching out their branches and tangled with the surrounding trees. It is similar to a strangulation plant, but Rentaro has never seen this kind of plant with black and red markings.

The most strange thing is the sound.

Tropical rainforests located near the equator are often very noisy with the chorus of various insects and birds, but this fake forest is shrouded in deathly silence.

"Rentaro..."

Enju, perhaps also feeling frightened, clung to Rentaro's side.

"This is the first time that this lady has left the Tokyo area so far...it's such a scary place."

In the area dominated by the gasterozoa, the animal and plant divisions are chaotic. But this was Rentaro's first time to see such a terrifying thing. Of course, there should be ungastrulated creatures here, but perhaps they hid their auras and did not find them.

"Yanzhu, walk through here to the nearby city."

"Didn't they ask us to search the area?"

Rentaro thought for a moment.

The first district of the Tokyo area should now have a combat headquarters led by Emperor Sheng. It seemed that government officials planned to use human wave tactics to push them out. Indeed, as Enju said, the other party told Rentaro to explore this beach beforehand. only...

Rentaro shook his head and said: "No, we still go to the city. No one in their right mind would want to stay here for a long time. Cheng and the others must be somewhere else."

Yanzhu didn't object much.

After walking a little further, we reached an open forest road. The soft ground under the soles of the shoes turned into an asphalt road. The woods seemed to be covering them and extended from both sides of the road. The ground was in tatters and full of cracks.

Not long after the search, a roar-like sound came from the distance. Rentaro reflexively turned off the flashlight and squatted down.

The heavy footsteps could even make the ground tremble under their feet. Rentaro and Yanzhu hid in the grass, watching the gastrea creature that looked like a giant crocodile pass by on the road not far away.

so close....

For this kind of evasive battle, it is better to avoid it as much as possible. After all, in such a far-out area where monsters are everywhere and there is no supply support, the sound of gunfire can attract swarms of gastrea animals and be besieged. Big trouble.

"Be careful, avoid the guy just now..."

As soon as Yeon-joo nodded, an explosion of heavy bass shook the air violently. Rentaro immediately realized the true nature of the sound and clicked his tongue.

"Idiot! A certain policeman probably used explosives in the forest... to do such a thing."

At that moment, all the bats that had been hiding somewhere came out of the forest noisily, making a squeaking noise and seeming to be circling above Rentaro and the others.

The forest woke up in an instant, and disaster followed.

A "boom" that was completely different from the explosion just now came from beneath his feet.

It was the sound of a huge body stepping on the ground.

The sound echoed in all directions, making it unclear where it came from. Yanzhu suddenly turned pale and looked at a point.

"Ren... Rentaro, what is that?"

Looking in the direction Yanzhu pointed, all he could see was a huge black shadow. Rentaro turned on the flashlight, and he was so surprised that he almost dropped the flashlight with a shake in his hand.

A pair of huge pupils protruding from the tree crown stared at them. It is more than six meters long, with a ferocious face and long neck unique to the crawler species, and its entire face is covered with pimples as small as acne.

Rentaro even felt that this guy looked similar to the "evil dragon" in the call.

Stage four...!

"Run, Yeonjoo!"

The moment Rentaro exclaimed, he felt himself being lifted up by a huge force. Yanzhu directly put him on his shoulders and ran away.

The violent wind roared in my ears, and then there was a panicking feeling of weightlessness.

Yanzhu jumped up suddenly, hitting the starting point with a loud impact, smashing the earth and rocks and flying out.

The hems of their clothes were fluttering in the wind. The two stood still in the air for a moment, and then they traced a falling arc and rushed towards the forest at high speed.

Continuous jumping between branches could not successfully shake off the giant gastrea creature that was chasing behind them and easily swept away all obstacles. The two of them were forced to the cliff ahead.

"Yanzhu, it's a cliff!"

The cliff is at least a hundred meters high from here to the bottom of the cliff, and the foot of the slope that slopes upward at 60 degrees makes Rentaro feel dizzy.

"Hold on to this lady, Rentaro!"

"Wait... Do you want to-ahhhhh!"

The surprise, confusion and unspoken protest were replaced by screams. Yanzhu finally landed on the tree trunk, then bent his knees sharply and jumped towards the dizzying slope at the edge of the cliff.

The scenery suddenly passed by at an alarming speed, the strong wind violently beat on the body, and a strange rising feeling hit Rentaro and the two of them.

.

It rushed out of the canopy in an instant, and then the balance point in the air offset the inertia and gravity, and stopped.

Rentaro opened his mouth slightly and looked around. It was all forest. Between the tree crown on the horizon and the moonlight, there was a strange object ten kilometers away in the distance.

It was a tall, slender building that stretched high into the sky. It was at least two thousand meters high based on its outline.

——Is that the "Ladder to Heaven"?

A brief thought flashed through my mind, and eventually it became blank again under the pull of gravity, and I fell headlong towards the cliff face.

Chapter 84: Actually a crybaby?

Countless branches and leaves scratched Rentaro's cheek, and blood spurted out. As soon as Yeonju's feet landed on the rocky surface, broken rocks flew everywhere. The two of them scraped the ground due to the impact and were thrown out. After rolling several times, they finally stopped.

Ignoring the violent coughing, I stood up and looked up at the cliff I had just fallen off.

On the distant cliff, the dragon, who had not been able to taste the dessert, turned around a few times regretfully, roared, and then returned to the forest. Rentaro's wrists were weak, and fatigue swept over him in one breath. As soon as he relaxed, he almost fell to the ground.
