Iga's secret base is located on a deserted island more than 100 nautical miles away from Sakuragi Kingdom. It uses mountain forests as a cover to build a secret base and training ground.

"Hurry, faster, only the first place has dinner."

On the beach, more than a dozen shirtless people, carrying logs on their backs, ran along the intersection between the island and the sea, with scars on their bodies. Four people in camouflage clothes holding machine guns stood in four directions of the island to supervise them.

On the top of the highest mountain, Inoue Izumi sat cross-legged with her eyes closed, and a samurai sword shining white under the moonlight was inserted beside her.

"How is he?"

After a while, Inoue Izumi asked, his eyes still closed, without any warning, and there was only Inoue on the top of the mountain. His question seemed to be talking to himself.

No, as Inoue's words fell, the air suddenly fluctuated at the top of the mountain, and a black shadow came out of the shadow. From the concave and convex figure, it can be judged that this is a woman.

"I'm still alive." The woman returned calmly, without any emotional fluctuations in her tone.

"Where are those orphans?"

"Only seven survived."

"More than expected, go for the next training."

"yes."

The woman retreated into the shadow and disappeared in place, as if she had never appeared before. What's even more strange is that the mountain is surrounded by cliffs and no mountain roads.

There are dozens of cells in a cave in a mountain, and five of them contain dozens of children in their teens. Every day, only one person can eat two meals at the door of a cell.

After five days, there were only one or two children in a room still alive.

Sun Siyi is in one of the secret rooms.

At this moment, his eyes were red, swollen and blood-bloated. His originally white, fat and beautiful face had become dirty. His fingernails were covered with mud and his hands were covered with scars. His clothes had been torn into strips. Next to him was a little girl who was about the same age as him, and she was also covered with scars. The situation was not ideal.

"Yucai, don't sleep, hold on." Sun Siyi shook the little girl beside him and told her not to fall asleep.

"I'm so hungry, so hungry, so sleepy." The little girl narrowed her eyes slightly, and her dry lips muttered.

"Persevere, hold on for a while, and you'll have dinner right away. I'll give you all the food today." Sun Siyi's voice was a little choked. He felt fear and despair for the first time.

He didn't know what was wrong with him? He didn't know why he came here. Shouldn't he wait for his parents with Mai and Chiyo? Why did he wake up and find himself locked in an iron box. There were more than a dozen children of his age in the iron box, but their eyes were full of hostility.

Sakai Yanga was the only child who talked to Sun Siyi. Sun Siyi knew from her that they were all orphans from slums from various countries. They were rescued when they were about to starve to death. They came here just to have a bite of food. Anyway, they were all starved to death. It would be better to find a glimmer of hope for life.

On the first day, everyone was quite at ease. Everyone was eating the food they sent. That was not enough for a person to fill the stomachs of more than ten people a day. Some people were so hungry that night that night.

The next night, when the food was delivered, they began to make a big move for the food. Some weak children were beaten to death while competing for food.

On the third day, another child was starved to death.

On the fourth day, there were only five children left, Sun Siyi, Sakai Yanga, and three other boys with slightly stronger physiques than theirs.

Sun Siyi and Sakai Yanga did not compete for food in the first three days, but they were also attacked as enemies and suffered a lot of injuries. Night is the most exhausting time for a person, which is even worse for a child like Sun Siyi who has lived an excellent and regular life since childhood, but he dared not sleep because he could be attacked fatally at any time.

The next night, if Sakai hadn't been blocking the front of the attack on his own people, he might have been... Sakai's Yanga was seriously injured because of this. Since then, he has not dared to sleep and has been awake.

When dinner was held on the third night, Sun Siyi also joined the battle because he wanted to protect the injured Yanga Sakai, and the premise of protection was that they would not starve to death.

That night, Sun Siyi, with his physique that was slightly better than other poor children and his belief in protecting Sakura Yona, grabbed a portion of food, ate a small portion of it himself, and fed the rest to Sakai.

On the fourth night, Sun Siyi touched the alcoholic Hona's head, which was very hot. He was very scared. He was afraid that Sakai would die in this iron box that was gone like other children.

In the night's battle, he was crazy and used all his strength for the few remaining ones.

He was lucky enough to knock down a child who was one head taller than him, and the other two died in exhaustion while fighting each other.

Sun Siyi picked up the food and walked staggeringly towards Sakai Yanga.

"Clang."

Sun Siyi fell to the ground, exhausted his strength and excessive hunger, and fainted.

"No, the goal is almost gone, doctor, hurry up and go to treat it."

Behind a stone in the cave, a man was driving a sniper rifle to face the cell where Sun Siyi was. After seeing Sun Siyi fall down, he immediately picked up the walkie-talkie beside him.

In less than a minute, the two women ran to the cell where Sun Siyi was, opened the door, and picked up Sun Siyi.

"Yena, Yanga, don't die." Sun Siyi, who was unconscious, kept muttering about Yanga Sakai.

"Get her out together."

After the two women looked at each other, one hugged Sun Siyi and the other hugged Yona Sakai.

“Prepare nutrient solution.”

"This girl is burning, ready..."

...

In a white ward, several doctors are working hard to treat Sun Siyi and Sakai Yona.

On the fifth day, a trace of sunlight shone into the cave, making the dark cave a little more bright.

"Sakura!" Sun Siyi suddenly opened his eyes, got up from the ground, and ran toward Yangna Sakai who was lying in the corner.

"Sakai, Sakai, wake up!" Sun Siyi shook Sakai's shoulder vigorously. How could he fall asleep? How could he let Sakai fall asleep? These days, he saw with his own eyes that several children had slept but never woke up again. He didn't want Sakai Yanga to do the same.

"Cough." Sakai suddenly coughed.

"Sakura!"

Looking at the slowly opened eyes of Sakai Yanga, hope rekindled on Sun Siyi's face. He ran to pick up the "trophy" from last night, picked up a piece of meat with chopsticks and sent it to Sakai Yanga's mouth.

Sakai Yanga opened her eyes wide, looked at Sun Siyi silently, and slowly opened her mouth.
