After the Traveler and Bai Zhi followed closely up through the cave entrance, the Iron Blood who had been guarding the entrance poured several buckets of Gasoline down without hesitation.

However, only heaven knows how long these walls of fire made of Gasoline can block out those Anomaly.

The rooftop of the Orphanage was quite ordinary; one could see the whole thing at a glance. Apart from Iron Blood, who was guarding the entrance, Temperance Gentleheart had all gathered in the northeast corner of the rooftop.

In the corner against the wall, two weak figures could be vaguely seen lying there.

"Campus Belle? Uh..."

Walking over and looking at the two survivors on the ground, Bai Zhi's expression turned rather strange for a moment after recognizing them.

Although he deduced from the diary that the last survivors should be the two people mentioned in the diary, he never expected that they would be his acquaintances.

... So what are the Campus Belle and her Best Friend doing here all the time?

"It's alright, she just fainted due to a lack of necessary food and water. She'll be fine after a little rest."

After briefly checking the condition of the two people on the ground, Temperance Gentleheart couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"It really is on the rooftop... How do we get down?"

The Traveler frowned slightly and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Iron Blood, who was guarding the cave entrance.

Their operation was a do-or-die, all-or-nothing tactic, essentially a complete blockade of their escape routes. However, the mission objective wasn't just to find survivors; they also needed to bring them from indoors to outdoors.

However, looking at the flames rising from the cave, the Traveler did not think that his group would be able to return the way they came.

"One minute left."

Iron Blood's calm voice came from the other side.

"Of course, I'd just jump off the building, what else could I do?"

Having found a good spot, Bai Zhi lowered the climbing rope from his Inventory all the way down, then turned to greet Temperance Gentleheart.

"Okay, give me the water."

[Item Name: Bucket of Water]

[Type: Item]

[Quality: common]

[Usage: Drink or discard]

[Special Effect: Drinking this drink can quench thirst and restore a certain level of health. When poured out, it forms a puddle that lasts for three minutes. No matter how high you fall from, as long as you land Precision in the puddle, you will not suffer any damage.]

[Usage Condition: None]

[Note:: This is just a common bucket of water, not an unlimited bucket. It has a chance to drop from killing Monster in Minecraft.]

It has to be said that Temperance Gentleheart's luck is quite good. This item, which is very useful in certain situations... is one of the two items that dropped after she killed the two chickens that appeared in her room.

"Remember, use the rope to steer, and whatever you do, don't jump onto the ground next to the puddle; this is the seventh floor."

After tugging at the secure climbing rope in his hand and pouring the bucket of water down the rope, Bai Zhi turned around and spoke to the others.

At this moment, VerdantRipple and Temperance Gentleheart each carried one of the Campus Belle and Xia Wen on their backs. Doloth had broken one of his arms, and such an injury could not be healed in just a few hours of rest.

The Girl were fine, but looking at the vertical drop of about 20 meters and the puddle that looked only about the size of a bowl from here, the Traveler's expression turned somewhat grim.

"What's wrong? It's your turn. Hurry up, the Iron Blood won't hold out for long."

Seeing the Traveler dawdling and refusing to get off, Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask him something, feeling a little puzzled.

"I have a fear of heights... Can you carry me?"

Turning to look at him, the Traveler's face was pale.

"Oh no, get out of here!"

Bai Zhi's face remained indifferent.

A moment later, accompanied by the Traveler's bloodcurdling screams, only Iron Blood and Bai Zhi remained on the rooftop.

Who do you think it is?

At this moment, Iron Blood, who had retreated from the cave entrance, suddenly turned to Bai Zhi and asked this seemingly random question.

"If I still had the memories of the previous reincarnation, I might be able to deduce it, but I made several attempts before, but I still couldn't find anything unusual, and we don't have any more time."

Bai Zhi shook his head.

"Plans are subject to change. Right now, completing the mission is the most important thing. Otherwise, if the other side starts killing indiscriminately and we have to reload the save file again, it will only result in mutual destruction."

"..."

Iron Blood didn't reply, but his expression became even more serious.

A dozen seconds later, as Iron Blood and Bai Zhi fell one after the other, all six surviving Player, along with two other survivors, ran towards the outside of the Orphanage.

As Bai Zhi was the last to step out of the Orphanage, he turned back thoughtfully and glanced behind him.

As the sun set and night fell, the entire building fell into a deathly silence in the completely dark Tian Kong.

In the deathly silence, Lights suddenly came on in one of the rooms on the sixth floor. In the darkness of the night, Bai Zhi could clearly see a slightly aged figure appear at the window, looking at him calmly.

Bai Zhi didn't have time to look around much, because the moment he stepped out of the Orphanage, everything behind him seemed to fall into a dim, chaotic darkness and could no longer be seen clearly.

[Task completed, reward being processed...]

The next second, a system notification rang in the minds of all Player.

When Bai Zhi opened his eyes again, he found himself transported back to the toilet where the mission had started.

Ignoring the task settlement details, Bai Zhi flung open the bathroom door and strode out, simultaneously pulling out his phone, which had automatically connected to the internet, from his pocket.

He was teleported into that place around 10 a. m. on Sunday morning. Theoretically, he stayed in that mission for about three days, but the time displayed on the network is now 1 p. m. on Sunday afternoon, meaning only three hours have passed.

While waiting to board the train after buying his ticket, Bai Zhi searched for the latest news about his Orphanage on his phone.

Due to years of disrepair and some reasons that remain unexplained, the entire Orphanage collapsed around 7 p. m. last night, causing casualties among the majority of the residents. After a night and a morning of rescue efforts, only two survivors have been found so far...
