In a crossover anime, the only way to become stronger is by marrying a wife.

Even Kaori Orimoto, who had been full of energy and supported all sorts of suggestions, was now too exhausted to say anything more.

Although it was called a meeting, it was more like a rest stop after climbing the stone steps.

Before long, no one spoke, and everyone collapsed, needing a long rest before they could move again.

Meanwhile, Yu Sheng's wounds are worsening.

And I'm so hungry and thirsty...

Looking at the people around him, he even began to hallucinate, thinking that they were delicious chunks of meat or blood bags full of blood.

If I took a bite of this, the bursting blood would surely relieve my hunger...

A terrible thought crossed his mind, but he quickly shook his head to suppress it.

How could you have such a thought? You must be starving.

It's all Tsukikawa Shu's fault for taking away all the resources.

He struggled to raise his hand and once again unwrapped the bandage covering his wound, only to be met with a strong, foul stench.

The necrotic flesh had already begun to rot.

At this moment, Yu Sheng also saw the condition of her wound. Inside, white maggots were wriggling!

"Pick them out! Hurry up and pick them out for me!"

Yu Sheng was terrified.

He had no idea how many eggs those giant flies had laid on his body.

The other two boys were also struggling to find bugs on him.

After a great deal of effort, the two of them finally managed to clean the insects off the jade rope once again.

The wounds on Yu Sheng's body are no longer just superficial injuries; the maggots' biting, inflammation, and rotting have caused them to spread deeper and deeper.

"President, this strip of cloth is no longer usable." Both boys covered their noses, unable to bear the rotten smell.

Left with no other choice, Yu Sheng tore up her only school uniform and wrapped it around her wound.

However, this garment was soaked in sweat and covered in dust, making it unhygienic and unable to prevent infection.

Despair was spreading within the team.

"Those two guys who joined in ran away!"

After quite some time, one of the feminist girls noticed that Makijima, who was in charge of keeping watch, and the black guy were missing!

"That damned guy, he abandoned us again!" Orimoto Kaori said angrily.

“Yes, another bunch of treacherous bastards,” said Chika Nakamachi.

Everyone swore once, but only once.

Because there simply wasn't any extra energy left for them to waste.

After a while, Yu Sheng painstakingly bandaged the wound and, dragging his already decaying body, barely managed to stand up.

"Everyone, let's leave quickly... Staying here will only lead to death," Yu Sheng said.

Under the threat of death, everyone finally mustered their strength once again and staggered forward, their eyes lifeless, like a group of walking corpses.

As for the meetings they discussed and the various decisions they recorded?

It serves no purpose.

Even the densely packed papers containing various decisions that had been recorded earlier were nowhere to be found, having been thrown away by Yu Sheng.

The meetings these days aren't really meetings, and the discussions aren't really discussions; they're just for resting and numbing ourselves.

We walked on like that, not knowing how long it took, but from climbing the stone steps to setting off, it took most of the day.

"food!"

Suddenly, a boy leaning on a tree branch ahead had his eyes light up and looked up at something hanging high in the treetop.

It was a cluster of black fruits, just like the kind of fruit that Tsukikawa Shu had seen before.

"It really is food!"

"Heaven hasn't abandoned us after all; we can still survive!"

Everyone was overjoyed, and their bodies, which had been unable to move before, now burst forth with extra power.

“Let’s go pick them! You guys catch them down here.”

The boy in the lead wiped the drool from his mouth and, disregarding the height of the trees, began to climb up the trunks.

Yu Sheng, however, was slow to react due to the disease. She stared blankly at the people who approached the fruit tree, and only after a long while did she realize that something was wrong.

"Wouldn't it be dangerous to get too close?"

He looked at the fruit.

Chapter 127 Insect Devouring

"I'll climb up, and you guys catch me down below."

The boy who had climbed up the tree the first time shouted to the people below.

The others also gathered under the tree, ready to catch the juicy, delicious fruit.

Although they didn't know what those fruits were, they were starving and would eat anything they could find.

"Wait, let's check the surroundings for any dangers first..."

Yu Shengluo was too weak to speak, so he was at the very back and no longer had the strength to shout. No one could hear him.

"Hurry up, I'm starving!" Kaori Orimoto urged.

“Pick more, there are so many people here,” said Chika Nakamachi.

The boy climbing the tree kept climbing, heading towards the fruit.

The trees were very tall, and although he was physically weak, he still displayed amazing willpower and, after twenty minutes, finally reached the area where the trees bore fruit.

His rumbling stomach was urging him to eat.

He couldn't hear what the people below were saying, nor could he see anything else; all he could see were the fruits that would fill his stomach.

He finally climbed up the tree trunks that were laden with fruit, went over and picked the fruit, stuffing it directly into the back of the tree.

The juicy fruit burst in his mouth, and its high water and sugar content gave him immense satisfaction. Hungry, he couldn't stop eating these delicious and juicy fruits, stuffing them one after another into his mouth.

He kept chewing, his mouth was so full of food that it kept getting stuffed in, and juice kept dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Hey! Leave some for us!

"Stop eating! We're starving! Get the food down here right now!"

"What a waste, can we please not eat like that?"

The people below started shouting, their mouths watering as they looked at the boy in the tree, their desire for food growing stronger.

"Ugh, this is so annoying! Let me eat first!"

After getting the food, the boy in the tree showed a greedy expression, stuffing fruit into his mouth without noticing the changes in his surroundings.

At this moment, Yu Sheng, leaning on a tree branch, staggered and finally arrived at the foot of the tree. He looked up and saw the situation on the tree.

A growing sense of unease crept into my mind.

How could there be such a good thing, with so many fruits laid out for them to enjoy at will?

Something seems off...

He looked around, his unease growing stronger, and he had to force himself to keep a close watch on his surroundings.

Finally, he discovered some clues.

It seems... those tree trunks and leaves are wriggling?

Was it a hallucination? He rubbed his eyes.

At first, Yu Sheng was very slow to react and didn't realize what was going on until quite a while later.

No! It wasn't wriggling, but some insects disguised in camouflage!

Whether on the back of the leaves or on the trunk, there were monsters that looked like ants! And they were huge, as long as one's arm.

Meanwhile, these brown or green ants were stealthily approaching the boy on the tree trunk, but he remained completely unaware, engrossed in his feast.

"Hey, come down here, stop eating!" Yu Sheng shouted from below.

However, the people above did not hear what was going on.

"what?"

He was still shouting down while looking at the jade rope.

"Wait here, I climbed the tree, so I can only bring it to you after I've finished eating! What's the rush!" He still didn't understand what the people below were shouting, and frowned, thinking that Yu Sheng was also urging him to hurry up and bring the food down.

"No! Something's coming closer!" Yu Sheng shouted anxiously.

"What???" The boy in the tree still hadn't heard what was going on, and was still chewing his food.
