Zurichian's escape did not go smoothly.

The vehicle was forced to flee into the mountains and forests. The Allied Forces were in hot pursuit.

"The Holy Alliance Army urgently mobilizes troops. Please go to the dense forest of District 12 immediately to exterminate the sinners carrying the virus..." The voice of the Holy Alliance Army came from the car radio. They are smearing Zurich and referring to the special medicine as a "virus".

Su Li lowered his head first, took out the glass bottle stored in the inner pocket of his left chest, and stared at the special medicine that was as bright as a blue star.

...She must protect it. This flame cannot be cut off at the forty-seventh person.

The scenery outside the window flew by quickly, and branches scraped against the car glass.

"Ms. Su, Ms. Lin, jump out of the car!" the driver suddenly said.

"Master Liu, do we need to jump out of the car?" Lin Yuzi asked in surprise.

"The forest is too dense, and there is only one trail. But this is a one-way street, and the Holy Alliance Army will definitely block people at the end." The driver said, "Only if you jump out of the car now and escape with the help of the dense forests on both sides, can you survive.

.”

Lin Yuzi was still hesitating, but Su Lixian made a decisive decision: "Yuzi, let's dance!"

She had already faintly seen the pursuers behind the vehicle. If she was flanked by two sides, she would definitely not be able to escape.

Lin Yuzi was sweating faintly on his forehead: "Master Liu, there is no need to jump out of the car. You can stop the car. It is safer this way."

The driver smiled: "Why do you think I asked you to jump out of the car? You just don't want to stop. If the car stops, the Holy Alliance Army will know the scope of your activities. As long as you keep driving the car, they will not know you."

Where do I get off the bus so I can’t find you!”

Only then did Lin Yuzi realize what kind of determination Master Liu had. If the car kept driving and the Holy Alliance Army discovered that there was no Su Lixian in the car, Master Liu would not be able to survive.

She didn't even remember Master Liu's full name. She only knew that his surname was Liu and that he was an external driver of the research institute. He usually liked petty gains and would even take extra eggs from the canteen. He was just a small citizen with no characteristics and liked to care about others.

Some trivial things.

He seemed to have a four-year-old daughter who would come to him after get off work. He would give her the eggs he stole and complain about his monthly wages.

Lin Yuzi never thought he would do this.

"Yuzi, let's go." Su Li thanked him first and then opened the car door, letting in the strong wind.

Lin Yuzi took one last look at the middle-aged driver. He was looking straight ahead. Lin Yuzi couldn't see his face clearly. His hands holding the steering wheel were shaking. It was obvious that he was also afraid. His eyes were dim in the rearview mirror.

There are tears.

The bright red knot was swinging in the rear mirror. The last thing Lin Yuzi saw was the red knot like a goldfish tail.

The wind roared, and Su Li jumped out of the car holding Lin Yuzi in his arms. The fierce wind blew across their backs. The grass blades were flying, and the car quickly passed by and was no longer visible.

"Whoa! Whoa!"

It wasn't until she was lying on the grass that Lin Yuzi suddenly realized that in the end she didn't even remember what Master Liu looked like.

Her vision was too broad, and she could not remember a small person who was usually taciturn.

...little people.

"Goodbye, Master Liu..." Lin Yuzi murmured.

Su Li first took Lin Yuzi's hand and rushed into the dense forest.

They escaped for a long time, and there were gunshots, shouts, artillery fire, and the sound of helicopter propellers in the distance. Whenever they were about to rush out of the forest, they would find that there were Holy Alliance troops stationed not far away, and they could not break through. Day and night.

They were tossed back and forth in the air, and they didn't know how many days had passed. Only water was left in their stomachs.

Their clothes were in tatters, and they were hungry and cold after dozens of days of fleeing. It was snowing, and pale white frost and snow fell from the sky.

The Holy Alliance army's siege became more and more intense, and the two were forced to hide in a cave. The cave was located under a high slope, making it difficult to be discovered.

Su Li hugged her knees and sat quietly under a dark light. This was the only light source in the cave, and the dark light projected down from the thin cracks. She was already very weak.

"I haven't eaten for more than thirty hours. Mr. Li, please wait here while I go find some fruit..." Lin Yuzi spoke, only to realize that his voice was so hoarse.

"Um."

Her voice in response was also hoarse.

When Lin Yuzi came back from finding some fruits, Su Lixian was already lying on the ground, with his eyes closed and his fingers still holding the glass bottle tightly.

That ray of dim light fell from the gap in the cave and fell on Zurichian's face. It reflected her pale face due to long-term flight, her lips were chapped, like dead old tree bark, and her cheeks were thin and sunken.

The moment she saw this scene, something seemed to squeeze Lin Yuzi's heart tightly. She ran over almost in a hurry to check Su Lixian's breathing. The moment she felt the hot wind, she was sure that Su Lixian was still alive.

However, the panic in her heart could not go away. She was afraid of Su Lixian's death.

"Mr. Li." Lin Yuzi's voice was extremely dry.

She could barely hear her own voice:

"Let's... surrender to the Holy Alliance Army. This way, you can still survive."

Zu Lixian was already as thin as a bone, and his body was sunken due to the extreme lack of nutrition. It was difficult to hold on any longer.

Before the Human Self-Rescue Alliance found them, the Holy Alliance Army was already approaching here. Their range of activities was getting smaller and smaller.

The only way to survive is to contact the Holy Alliance Army. Su Lixian is the most famous occultist, and the Holy Alliance Army will not let her starve to death. But if she continues to hide here, she will definitely... starve to death.

However, Su Li first lay in her arms and shook her head.

Her hand slowly raised, as if controlling a limb that did not belong to her. Her fingers slowly touched the left side of her chest, where her heart was.

The glass bottle is close to her chest, and it is like another heart of hers.

"Ding Dong."

It was as if there was a crisp sound of heart hitting the glass bottle.

At this moment, Lin Yuzi's heart seemed to be hit by something, and she suddenly burst into tears.

Su Li first took her hand and wrote in her hand.

【It is my heart.】

…

——It is my heart.

——Cannot hand it over.

There was no wind in the cave, only faint white snow spilled in from the gaps and melted around them, like white stars.

Lin Yuzi hugged Su Lixian tightly, and the hot liquid fell on Su Lixian's back. She squeezed the fruit in her hand into a paste and slowly fed it into Su Lixian's mouth.

The human heart is made of flesh and blood, it cannot be a glass bottle.

But when the glass bottle carries all the fire, in the eyes of ideal people, it becomes the heart that they want to protect desperately.

Once the heart ruptures, it cannot survive alone.

Even if they die here, the glass bottle will not fall into the hands of the Holy Alliance and be destroyed. Maybe it will still be discovered when the Human Self-Salvation Alliance comes over.

Even at that time, what people saw were only two dead bones without flesh and blood. There was also a glass bottle that still exuded a blue light.

Su Li first swallowed the mushy fruit. Her swallowing function had become difficult. She was retching while swallowing, like a cow chewing its cud. Lin Yuzi could only help her swallow and feed her snow water.

Her breathing was like an old bellows, sounding harshly one after another, and oxygen became a luxury.

"Yuzi, except for the Holy Alliance Army... everyone is trying their best to help us, we... can't give up." Su Lixian's face was as white as paper.

"……good."

"Don't give in...don't abandon our history. The best way to erase a race is to erase their history and culture. We...can't give in, we must wait for rescue."

"……Um."

"I'm a little tired."

"It's okay, go to sleep."

When Su Lixian fell asleep, Lin Yuzi's pupils began to lose focus. She turned her back to Su Lixian and repeated one sentence over and over again, almost like a madman.

"Live, live, live..."

"Live, live, live...

The time in the cave lasted for a long time, and the outside was gradually filled with Holy Alliance troops. Lin Yuzi did not even dare to go out to look for wild fruits. She could be easily discovered as long as she took half a step out of the cave.

Su Lixian was already weak, and the emotions and memories of the forty-six people had been tormenting her. Once there was no food, her body deteriorated much faster than Lin Yuzi.

Today is the seventh day in the cave. Lin Yuzi quietly turned off the battery alarm of the flashlight. Now they don't even have a light source.

They are becoming more and more silent. The long wait, despair and hunger, waiting for death to come step by step in this dark cave, are more torturous than punishment.

Su Lixian had difficulty walking. It was even difficult for her to even stand up. She was confused for twenty hours a day, saying "Mom, I want to eat braised pork ribs", "Don't snatch my paintings...", and so on.

"Old squad leader, are you worthy of your pride?" Lin Yuzi couldn't understand these vague words.

She just kissed the glass bottle repeatedly, looking at its star-like light, imagining that all the good things were inside. Tears rolled down her cheeks in a mechanical and dull manner.

On this day, Lin Yuzi was looking at the falling snow in the gap above her head. At this time, she suddenly heard Su Lixian's voice.

"Okja."

Calm and crisp. Not hoarse at all.
