These people who are imprisoned in the cage are of all races, some of them are dressed in expensive formal clothes, some are dressed in overalls, and some are casual clothes, and it can be seen from their clothes what kind of stable and peaceful life they were in before they came here, and this peace was shattered by the impact of black vortices. The contrast is so striking and so out of place in the gloomy environment. As far as they could see, most of the cages were empty, and there were only seventeen of them, and the people in these cages were like dried fish in a dry pond, without a look, without life, as if they were not breathing.

And in the birdcage on the left side of the city gate, as Lily said, there are "white xenomorphs" imprisoned, and the appearance of these white xenomorphs now seems to be even more miserable than the humans on the right, although the humans seem to be lifeless, but after all, their bodies seem to be in a normal state. The white xenomorph creature on the left is already thin and small, and the water in its body seems to have volatilized, like piles of sun-dried rags in a birdcage, leaning on one birdcage after another. Now there are only five people in these cages, far less than the dozen or so that Lily said.

Although the body has weakened to the limit, at this time, the white xenomorphs in four of the birdcages are still doing the racial rituals that other xenomorphs are doing, and the sacred whispers linger in the courtyard, resisting the invasion of humans and them by the eerie aura of the castle, except for the white xenomorphs in one of the birdcages, who did not participate in this sacred ritual. His physical condition is somewhat better than that of other white xenomorphs.

Just when Zhang Lan and Li Junshan looked at the white xenomorph creature, the white xenomorph creature seemed to sense something, and he also raised his head to look at Zhang Lan and them, but when their eyes were staggered, Zhang Lan clearly saw the black and white intertwined pupils in his eyes, which were very different from other xenomorphic creatures, giving people an inexplicable and demonic feeling.

This look startled Zhang Lan, he was afraid that if the white xenomorph creature shouted, then their operation would be in vain. But the white creature didn't cry out at this time, he just stared at him with his eyes all the time, and didn't make any sound. Li Junshan on the side also saw the reaction of the white xenomorph creature, and he remembered that Lily had said that the white xenomorph creature that gave them a chance to escape, if he guessed correctly, it should be this.

"The enemy of the enemy is the friend" Li Junshan made a silent gesture to the white xenomorph creature, but the white xenomorph creature did not react, and still stared at Zhang Lan deadly. "What should I do, if I go down now, if that white xenomorph creature shouts, they may be caught in the urn by others, not to mention saving people, but if they don't go down now and wait for those xenomorph creatures and soldiers to finish the racial ritual, then they will also be caught in the urn", this dilemma made Li Junshan's forehead sweat.

"No matter, go down first. You can't give up halfway" Li Junshan secretly made up his mind, he hurriedly made a "Don't make a sound, we will save you too" gesture at the white xenomorph creature, and then regardless of the white xenomorph creature's reaction, he made a gesture to jump off the city wall. Zhang Lan was also very anxious, he didn't understand what was wrong with this white xenomorph creature, why he was just staring at him. When he saw Li Junshan about to jump into the yard, he also had to jump along. But don't Li Junshan stop him, "Don't go down, you are on the city wall, whether it is the return of the xenomorph creature soldiers or the gorgeous cloth robes in the castle, you will block it with a bow and arrow, and we will see the opportunity to act again."

"Okay, you go" Zhang Lan couldn't help but sigh that Li Junshan was thoughtful, while signaling that she would definitely complete the task.

Li Junshan nodded, jumped down from the thirty-meter-high city wall, and at the moment she landed, her toes lightly touched the gravel ground, and then slid out a few steps, not only unloading the potential energy of the falling body, but also silently. She lightly touched the birdcage, a few numbly looked at the humans in the birdcage, and when she saw Li Junshan outside the cage, she first rubbed her eyes, and after making sure that Li Junshan was not her hallucination, a flame of hope instantly ignited in her eyes.

Just as they were about to shout excitedly, Li Junshan hurriedly made a silent gesture to them, and at the same time pointed to the castle. The people instantly understood what she meant, and in fear of the demons in the castle, they forced the cry back into their stomachs. Li Junshan observes and gropes on the birdcage where a middle-aged white man is kept, trying to find a way to open the cage. The middle-aged white man saw that Li Junshan was trying to open the birdcage to save him, and the flames in his eyes were getting hotter and brighter, and his mouth unconsciously made a "ho-ho" sound, and he also began to cooperate with Li Junshan to grope in the birdcage, although he had groped for this birdcage thousands of times. Three minutes, five minutes, and ten minutes passed, and the sweat on Li Junshan's forehead became more and more, but this birdcage seemed to grow out of the ground, and the thick branches did not have any pivotal organs, and the gaps in the ground were only large enough to reach into a hand, but it was impossible for people to enter and exit.

In the end, Li Junshan gave up the method of opening the birdcage by looking for a mechanism, she held the branches of the birdcage with both hands and pulled it to both sides, with her strength, the birdcage in tons was also a little trembling, the middle-aged white man saw that the branches of the birdcage that he had tried his best to move countless times were actually shaken by this beautiful oriental woman, and the sound of "ho ho" in his mouth was even louder, driving the human beings in the other bird cages to a suppressed commotion. But the commotion fell silent after the birdcage stopped fluttering and did not change further.

Li Junshan, who was fruitless, wiped his forehead with the back of his hand, and he used the wooden spear in his hand to pry the branches on the birdcage, and after the spear was bent almost ninety degrees, it was also fruitless. Li Junshan looked helplessly at the wooden birdcage in front of him, and the flame of hope in the eyes of the humans in the birdcage was gradually extinguished. In the end, Li Junshan gritted his teeth and beckoned to Zhang Lan, who was looking at her on the city wall with a nervous face.

Zhang Lan, who had already seen Li Junshan's series of movements on the city wall, was also extremely nervous at this time, and as time passed, his gaze shifted between the city streets on the outer wall, the castle gate and Li Junshan more and more frequently, and the sweat on his whole body because of tension was no less than that of Li Junshan. And after Li Junshan beckoned to him, he glanced between the outer wall city and the castle gate, and finally gritted his teeth and jumped off the city wall.

When the human in the birdcage saw that there was another person jumping off the wall, and he was still a man, the flame of hope that the human in the birdcage was about to be extinguished burned again. Coming to Li Junshan, Zhang Lan solemnly handed over the bow and arrow and spear on his body to Li Junshan. Glancing at Li Junshan, seeing the look of encouragement in her starry clear eyes, he took a deep breath, held the thick branches on the birdcage with both hands, and suddenly exerted force, under his strength, the branches that were stronger than steel slowly opened to both sides, and as the branches opened more and more, the surrounding human beings suppressed their breathing more and more thickly, but just when the branches opened to the width of two arms, something strange happened.

The whole birdcage trembled violently, and the branches began to hit and twist with each other, and the birdcage seemed to come to life at this time, like a beast that had been forcibly cut open, and sent out a violent resistance. The branches that Zhang Lan grasped with both hands twisted more violently than the other parts, and when the two branches were about to hit each other with great force, Zhang Lan had to let go suddenly, otherwise his hands would be caught in the birdcage.

Zhang Lan, who let go, looked at Li Junshan, and he also saw a deep look of horror in Li Junshan's eyes. "They're all alive, no wonder they can't find the mechanism to open the cage," Li Junshan said to him in horror in a low voice. "What now?" Zhang Lan asked in fright.

Li Junshan didn't answer him, but turned his gaze to the white xenomorph creature in the birdcage on the other side, looking at the white xenomorph creature who was still staring at Zhang Lan. Li Junshan knew that the white xenomorph creature must have understood the meaning of inquiry, cooperation, and even pleading in her gaze, but the xenomorph creature still didn't look at him at all, not even the slightest squint of his black and white eyes, and the rest of the white xenomorph creatures beside him were still immersed in whispering rituals, like old monks who had passed away. Looking at those white creatures, Li Junshan sighed helplessly and said, "No way, we can only do this today, and come back when we find a way."

Although most of the humans in the cage couldn't understand what she said, everyone knew that there was nothing they could do. Although reason told them that only if Zhang Lan and them evacuated safely, would they have the next chance to rescue them. But the vast majority of people couldn't suppress the fear that they might be eaten tonight, and cried out in despair. There was some restraint at first, but with the increase in the sound of crying, there was an uncontrollable trend, which made Zhang Lan Li Junshan shocked, such a loud voice would definitely attract the gorgeous cloth robe and the xenomorph creature soldiers, just when Li Junshan pulled Zhang Lan nervously and was about to jump off the city wall to escape first, a short shout of "shut up" came from the birdcage in front of him, and the middle-aged white man in the cage shouted in a low voice in English: "Tonight I will take the initiative to ask that demon to eat me first, don't howl." When the others heard the white man's words, they all quieted down and looked at him suspiciously, while some people who could not understand English stopped crying and stared at the white man, and stopped inexplicably.

The white man saw that everyone was silent, and said to Li Junshan: "Thank you for coming to save us, I hope you can find a way to open this cage as soon as possible, the demon in the castle will eat one person a day, and the first two days were seriously injured, so he started to eat two people a day, but in the past two days, it has resumed one a day, we used to have more than forty people, and now there are only a few left" The white man paused, as if to calm the fear brought about by recalling the experience of this time. After a while, he said, "So hopefully, you can find a way as soon as possible, I guess I won't be able to survive tonight." But seeing so many tragic deaths, I am also a little numb, I am an Englishman, my wife ran away with someone else in my early years, and there is a twelve-year-old daughter at home, if you can have the opportunity to go back, please pass on a word to my daughter, just say "Daddy loves her".

The middle-aged white man finished speaking calmly, and after reporting his daughter's address to Li Junshan, he hesitated and said: "We may really fall into hell, the demons in that castle can magic, and those demon soldiers are almost finished their racial rituals, you guys go quickly" Looking at the determined expression on the middle-aged white man's face, Li Junshan's eyes were full of hesitation and hesitation, because she knew that if she didn't talk about where to find a way to open the birdcage, even if she found a way to open the cage, I don't know when the next time I have a chance to sneak in, I don't know if these people are still there.

Li Junshan nodded hesitantly, took Zhang Lan's hand and was about to leave. And although Zhang Lan couldn't understand what the middle-aged white man said, she couldn't help but have mixed feelings when she saw his resolute expression and the eager gazes of other humans. He didn't know when the next time they would come back, but in a daze, he saw the eyes of the white xenomorph creature who had been staring at him, the white light like the black of the cosmic background containing the dots of stars, flowing in his eyes, blurry and dreamy. At this moment, Zhang Lan seemed to remember something, he gently broke free of Li Junshan's hand holding him, and slowly closed his eyes.
