Section 24 Opportunities

After all the sound had died down, Lily looked into the courtyard. She found that the explosion was much less powerful than she had expected, and the black gates of the castle were slammed open by the shockwave, emitting a thick black mist that she could not see inside. The birdcages in the courtyard were blown horizontally, and most of the people in the cages were sitting or lying down, and most of them did not move, and a few whispered.

The same was true for the white creature, whose bewitching black and white eyes were blown to a corner of the city wall by the shockwave. The imaginary scene of flesh and blood did not appear. However, it is not difficult to understand the reason for this, the initial shock wave and shrapnel of the * package explosion have been absorbed by the cyclone wrapped in layers, and in the end, the bubble burst due to the excessive explosion pressure in the bubble, the mana of the gorgeous cloth robe or the explosion of its own injuries, etc., and the energy of such an explosion has also been greatly absorbed, and such an explosion is naturally far less powerful than the moment of the explosion of the * package.

All the humans and white creatures on the periphery didn't take much damage, and they were probably just stunned. On the contrary, the most seriously injured at the scene was the gorgeous cloth robe, he was already scorched and had no robes on his body, and now he was even more injured and his whole body was completely naked, with green smoke all over his body, and the long horn was even more broken in a compromise. Presumably, he still cast some magical spell at the last moment to save his life, otherwise he would definitely not have ended up in the center of the explosion.

Lily wanted to go over and see if there was a chance to mend the knife to see if there was a chance to make up the sword. But by this time, she had already heard the shouts of the xenomorph soldiers in the outer city. The situation suddenly became extremely urgent, and she hurried to a human birdcage to see if she could open it, but there was nothing she could do in her hands about the birdcages where xenomorphs and white creatures could easily be divided into three halves. The cage was unusually heavy, with no locks or the slightest gap, as if it had been generated naturally, and I had no idea if any of the guys had opened the cage with magic. Listening to the voice of the xenomorph soldier becoming clearer and clearer, beads of sweat oozed from her forehead, and a black uncle in the cage who was wearing a suit and was only slightly injured saw this situation, and knew that she did her best, so he said to her in English: "Leave us alone, you go quickly, we will escape one by one." If you can go back to the original world, please send a message to my family that I will go back to pick them up when I make money in Europe", and then the black uncle quickly reported the address of a war-torn country in the interior of Africa, and after reporting it, he urged her to leave quickly.

In the face of this strange birdcage, Lily had no choice but to give up, looking at the hopeful gaze of the black uncle, she nodded heavily. Turning around and dragging out Anos with one of his arms and walking towards the gate, she looked at the two unconscious creatures lying on the ground not far away, and pulled Anos twice, she gritted her teeth and carried Anos out of the gate.

The city within the outer walls is exactly the same as the city of 17th-century Europe, with intricate streets sandwiched between a series of spired houses. Lily carried Anos dangerously away from the xeno-soldiers, who were in the debris behind a house and the xeno-soldiers scurried past them. She held her breath and waited for the footsteps to go away before she dared to exhale, she pulled Anos to see that he still didn't react, and she couldn't help worrying about his situation, but when she opened Anos's eyes to check, the sunlight in front of her was blocked by a dark shadow.

A xenomorph creature in a cloth robe looked at them coldly with pitch-black eyes motionless in front of Lily, and Lily hugged Annos in horror and looked at the xenomorph creature deadly. The xenomorph just watched them for a minute, and for a minute Lily felt like her heart was about to stop.

But in the end, the xenos didn't say anything, and walked away as if they didn't exist. It wasn't until one of the xenomorphs came out of Lily's sight that she stopped her heartbeat. She dragged Anos as hard as she could, took advantage of the shadows of the house to hide and ran five streets to find a safe hiding place, and soon after finding a hiding place, Anos woke up in a daze. Lily, who was tired and unconscious, was half dead, and gently knocked him on the forehead a few times, making Anos even more inexplicable. After Lily recounted what had just happened, Annos felt distressed and rubbed Lily's body, which made her cry and laugh again.

As night approached, Annos groaned, and as if reminded by the scream, he suddenly touched himself, and Lily looked at him inexplicably. It wasn't until Anos took out two flattened fruits from his bosom that she knew that the guy hadn't listened to him. Annos smirked and handed the two fruits to Lily, who also knew the character of this guy and slapped him in the head again, and finally took one helplessly, glared at him again before slowly eating it.

Anos could only take back one fruit and eat it himself, and asked vaguely as he ate, "What should we do now?" When Lily heard his question, she took the half-eaten fruit, thought for a while, and said, "We have to get out of the city quickly, that gorgeous cloth robe should only be unconscious and not dead by now, and when he wakes up and finds that only the two of us have escaped, he will search for us all over the city." "That's right," Anos replied, frowning at the thought of the horror of the ornate robe, as he ate.

"When it gets completely dark, we'll move to the city gate, and luckily there aren't many people in this outer city, otherwise we might have been found," Lily said as she suddenly remembered the cloth-robed xenomorph creature that had spotted them, and she wondered why it hadn't caught them, or called out to the xenomorph soldiers. What makes her even more incomprehensible is the relationship between the groups of gorgeous cloth robes, white creatures, xenobiological soldiers, outward wall city dwellers and xenomorph creatures outside the city, they seem to be a race but the relationship between each group is entangled and awkward, xenomorph creature soldiers seem to not only obey the gorgeous cloth robe but also reluctantly support the white creatures, and at the same time, according to the performance of the xenomorph inhabitants of the outer wall city she met, it doesn't seem to support the gorgeous cloth robe, let alone the performance of the xenomorph creature leader outside the city... "Hey, it's so messy and complicated!" Lily couldn't help but sigh. "What a mess, what a complication," Anos asked vaguely, biting the fruit. Seeing his confused appearance, Lily said angrily: "Hurry up and eat yours, it's getting dark", Anos looked at her with a stupid smile and didn't speak, and Lily glared at him speechlessly.

The sky was completely dark, looking at the ethereal galaxy in the sky. Lily silently calculated the time, pulled Anos all the way to the corner of the house closest to the city gate, and hid in the shadows to carefully observe the movement of the alien soldiers at the city gate. She's betting that these xenomorph soldiers will also do the kind of sky-looking whispering rituals that xenomorphs and white creatures do at night, so that their guards are lax, and maybe there will be a chance to take advantage of it.

Because they were hiding not far from the soldiers at the city gate, they didn't dare to come out, and they waited stiffly. After about an hour, during this time. The city gate is always open, but there are very few xenomorphs who enter and leave, most of them are cloth-robed xenomorphs in the city who go out of the city, and the xenomorphs respect them very much, and there is no contact or inquiry when they go out of the city. However, the cloth-robed xenos outside the city who entered the city in the earthen house and wooden fort area were subject to strict questioning and inspection, and even most of the cloth-robed creatures who wanted to enter the city would be stopped and unable to enter the city, although in Lily's opinion, they were no different from the xenomorphs in the city.

After another hour or so, the opportunity that Lily had been waiting for finally came, and the xenomorph creatures were going to perform the ritual of the race. The xenomorph soldiers beckoned to each other, seemingly ready to evacuate from the city gates, but their preparations to close the gates made Lily anxious again.

"What now?" She muttered to herself anxiously, squeezing Anos's hand with bruised tendons.

"I'll go get them out of the way," Anos whispered.

Lily turned her face and habitually slapped him on the head, and said in a low voice: "No, you are not allowed to say such things again in the future, and with their running speed and strength, you will be caught as soon as you go out, and you will talk about luring them away."

Just when they were at a loss, a cloth-robed xenomorph creature appeared at the city gate. He and the xeno-soldier let out a few low noises, and the xeno-soldier who was about to close the gate immediately stopped. Waiting beside the robe, but it was clear that the time for the ceremony was almost up. This made the xenomorph soldiers hesitate, and seeing them like this, the cloth-robed xenomorph creature whispered again. The xenomorph creature soldiers who led the team looked at him and then looked at the city gate hesitated, and after a while, they finally made up their minds, and the xenomorph soldiers who led the team exchanged chirps with the xenomorph creatures in cloth robes, and ran away with the xenomorph creatures soldiers.

After the xenomorph soldier disappeared, the cloth-robed xenomorph looked around. Finally, he looked at the place where Lily was hiding, and looked coldly. Facing him at this time, Lily recognized at a glance that it was the cloth-robed xenomorph creature who was staring at her during the day, and Lily was both frightened and puzzled, not knowing what he was going to do. The cloth-robed xenomorph creatures were the same as during the day, just staring in their direction for a while before walking away coldly.

At this time, Lily fully understood that he was providing an opportunity for them to escape. Without the slightest hesitation, she took Annos's hand and ran towards the gate, she felt that she could never run at the end of the short distance of 100 meters, time seemed to stop, and her heart was about to jump out of her chest. But it was just her personal sense of horror, and it actually took them an extreme amount of time to reach the city gates. Passing through the thick walls, beyond the walls is the area of the earthen wooden fort. They did not dare to enter the area again, so they had to choose to run along the wall to the side of the hillside, and then climb the ridge and climb out of the valley.

It took them nearly half an hour to finally climb the ridge that connected to the side of the city wall. They were lucky because at this time the xenomorphs were all performing their racial rituals, otherwise the two of them would have been discovered climbing the bare hillside long ago. Unfortunately, their whereabouts were discovered by three xenos, members of the lower population of the lower reaches of the river, who were exiled to the edge of the downstream colony for not following the rules of the xenomorph community and performing racial rituals.

Exiled to their homes, they were also tasked with guarding the entire colony, and only returned to their homes until their behavior met the standards of their clansmen. They were also performing racial rituals at this time, but one of them was clearly not religious, and he opened his dark eyes slightly and looked around. It's become a habit for him, so he's also the Xenomorph who has been on guard for the longest time. This time, however, he made an unexpected discovery, and he found two black shadows moving slowly on the opposite hillside, and those two black shadows were the humans they had escorted into the castle two days ago. He was astonished, he couldn't figure out why the sacred and noble ornate robe had allowed the two humans to escape, but at this moment his thought was only fleeting. Scenes of scarlet eyes and excited behavior that had eaten human flesh and blood took over its mind, and he was one of those who had gone through hardships and gained nothing. At this time, he found that these two humans made him very excited, and he quietly stood up to pursue the two humans, but when he got up, he alarmed the two people next to him who were on a guard mission with him.
