Section 20 Progress

As she traveled, Lily found the two men alive, and it was evident from their heaving chests that they were not dead but had only been knocked unconscious. For some reason, these xenomorphs were clearly trying to bring them alive somewhere.

They were driven through the forest by the xenomorphs, but not long after they were on the way, a small group of xenos came out of the forest, and they escorted the two men who had entered the forest to survey in the first place. The squad, after merging into the larger force, was driven into the Lily and her group of humans. Seeing their frightened looks, Lily calmed down, walked up to them, and asked them how they were captured, but the two of them didn't know if they were overly frightened or didn't understand the situation, they just said simply, as soon as they entered the forest, they were surrounded and captured by these xenomorph creatures not far away.

And while they were talking, another group of xenomorphs came out of the forest and joined their large army, and this team also escorted a man, who was also one of the three who had entered the forest earlier. Compared to the previous two, this person looked much worse, he was covered in wounds, and there was a long wound on his right arm, looking numb and desperate. He was also driven into the crowd of Lily, who followed the crowd without saying a word, and Lily ripped a strip of cloth from her clothes, silently walked up to the man and bandaged his right arm. The man couldn't help but be shocked when he felt someone touch his body, and only after seeing that it was a human did he breathe a sigh of relief and softly say thank you.

"The three of you, why are you the only one who was arrested, and the other two?" asked Lily in a low voice. The man looked at her, sighed and said, "One ran away, the other was eaten". Then I talked about their experience in detail: it turned out that the three of them were in a company, and the three of them usually like to play some adventure games, and they have similar interests, so they have a good relationship. After coming here, although the three of them were also scared, the adventurous spirit in their bones was released in this situation. First, they really want to go to the forest first, and if they can find a place to stay like in the game, they will come back to meet everyone.

But before they could walk long in the forest, they encountered 5 xenomorph creatures, although these xenomorphs were small in stature and strange in appearance, the spears in their hands were obviously not fake, and they didn't talk nonsense, and surrounded the three of them with their spears, forcing them to travel in one direction. Looking at the sharp spear, they couldn't resist, but of course they were unwilling to be caught like this. As they were moving forward, an alien creature tripped over a vine under a tree, and the man with glasses seized the opportunity to pounce on the alien creature, and he himself quickly snatched the spear that the alien creature had dropped on the ground, and turned around and stabbed at the other alien creature.

But they obviously underestimated these xenomorph creatures, although they were small in stature, they were extremely powerful, and their movements were also very agile, and the xenomorph creature that was thrown down had a small arm on the ground, and even the man with glasses stood up straight from the ground, and pulled the man with glasses away from his body. At the same time, a sharp flash flashed in its dark eyes, and after a sharp roar on its face, it grabbed the glasses man's hands and suddenly exerted force, and one of the glasses man's arms was torn off by it alive, and the spear that this person grabbed was also heavy unexpectedly, due to the heaviness of the spear, he stabbed at the head of another xenomorph creature There was a big deviation, and it was easily flashed by others, and the xenomorph creature's spear was casually shot back, and it stabbed his right arm. He took several steps backwards in pain before he heard the screams of the man in glasses. When he turned around, he saw that one of the broken arms of the man with glasses had been caught in the hands of the xenomorph creature, and the xenomorph creature put the severed arm in front of him and observed it, looking extremely excited. It seemed to be patient but couldn't, and it bit down on the severed arm, blood and musculoskeletal creaks in its mouth.

The first time he saw such a terrifying picture, he was scared of the dead, and the other xenomorphic creatures around him hissed excitedly when they saw this scene, as if a switch had been turned on. These xenomorph creatures instantly pounced on the man with glasses who was still screaming, grabbed his limbs and exerted force at the same time, and the man with glasses was torn into several pieces alive by them.

He looked at everything that was happening in front of him in horror, and his soul trembled with fright, and he lay on the ground trembling and vomiting. Another of their companions, after vomiting twice, turned around and ran away when they saw that the xenomorphs were eating the corpse of the spectacled man. He wanted to stop the companion and fight with these demons with him, but he thought that there was no need to feed these demons, so he didn't say anything, and the man disappeared into the forest in a blink of an eye.

Taking a heavy breath, he lifted his spear and stabbed at a xenomorph creature that was gnawing at corpses, and these xenos had flesh and blood like madness, ignoring them. It wasn't until his spear stabbed the xenomorph's body that it spun around with human flesh in its mouth, and with a red glow in its dark eyes, it ripped off its spear and slammed into the narrator's body, causing it to fly backwards, crash into a tree, and then lose consciousness.

When he awoke, he found himself walking through the forest with a xenomorph on his shoulder, and that there were only four of the five xenos left, and the xenomorph he had stabbed was gone.

When he woke up, he was thrown to the ground by the alien creatures, and just when he thought he was going to be eaten, the alien creatures only gestured with spears to make him walk on his own, and he had to drag his wounded body through the forest until he joined the lilies.

Hearing about his experience, Lily knew that these xenomorphs not only ate the dead but also the living, but they seemed to have received some kind of order not to eat people indiscriminately until now. This made her even more frightened, and their behavior reminded her of the livestock being driven to the slaughterhouse.

Back at Anos's side, she hugged Anos's arm tightly to suppress the tremors of her body. Annos looked at her, and also killed her landlord, and comforted her in her ear: "It's okay, it's okay, it's going to be okay." ”

It didn't take long for another group of xenomorphs to emerge from the forest. This time Lily was surprised to find that there were humans in this team that she did not know, this team had seven xenomorph creatures, they escorted two black people, these two black men who were also full of horror were also driven into their group, these two black people should be farmers in a certain African country from the point of view of their attire, Lily intended to greet them and ask them about the process of their coming here, but whether Lily was in English or Spanish, the two black men were just confused gesticulating, and she could only give up.

As the team progressed, a large number of squads came out of the forest one after another, these squads were large or small, the big ones had hundreds of people, and the small ones were only two or three people, but no matter how big or small, these squads would come back with some items or creatures from the earth, including cutlery, paper, tables and chairs, computers, flags, and even a squad carrying half a car back, and the creatures were cats, dogs, pigeons, deer, maned dogs, etc., most of these animals were dead, only a pigeon and a cat were still alive, Half of these humans seem to have the highest survival rate. The number of lilies is growing.

When a yellow man with half an arm missing was pushed into the crowd, there was no team out of the forest to join them. As he progressed, the yellow man staggered along the crowd while holding half of his arm* in pain, and occasionally he was whipped with a spear by a xenomorph for walking too slowly, and then he would let out an even more terrible wail, but no one in the crowd glanced at him, and no one squinted at him. Because of his situation, there are so many things happening in this team today.

Xenos do not stop humans from talking to each other or helping their own kind, and those that are clearly able to walk faster will adjust their pace and maintain the same speed as humans. But these perks have a premise: "that is, they must not affect the current speed of the team". Many of the humans who were escorted from all over the forest were wounded and mutilated, and in the beginning, most of the people tried their best to help their kind, bandaging the wounded, and taking turns carrying the mutilated ones, but with the passage of time and physical strength, the speed of the wounded slowed down significantly, and the helpers were no longer willing to carry the wounded after being severely beaten by the xenomorph creatures several times, and several wounded people with broken hands and feet were thrown to the ground. Anos, who had been carrying the wounded on his back, couldn't stand it, and had to take the initiative to help several times, but he was held down by Lily before he gave up.

Eventually, seeing such trouble in the human community, the unusually tall leader of the xenomorph screamed impatiently, and it was these sounds that made all the humans present suspect that they were in hell, and in these few sounds, they also made them realize the reality they were in now.

Those few hiss resonated with the wild excitement of the xenomorphs, and in a moment the whole forest echoed with the roars of the xenomorphs, and the xenomorphs closest to the wounded grabbed the torsos and limbs of the wounded with great speed, and the wounded were torn into several pieces in the terrible howls, and the flesh and blood were scrambled between the mouths, hands, and spears of the xenomorphs, and some of the internal organs and pieces of flesh were thrown at the feet of the lilies, and in their desperate screams, they were snatched away by other xenomorphs. In the end, the two men who were carried on the shoulders by the xenomorph creatures, and I don't know whether they were really unconscious or fake coma, were also thrown into the pile of flesh and blood on the ground by the crazy xenomorph creatures, and were used as desserts after dinner.

This madness lasted for about 10 minutes before the xenomorph leader chirped in satisfaction. Both humans and xenos have regained their composure after this, the difference is that the xenos are immersed in the peace and tranquility of a full meal, while humans are trapped in the despair and numbness of the walking dead. In the wake of such feasts, the advancing procession of humans was escorted in, while new wounded and escapers were eaten. In this way, the number of people increased and decreased, and the number of people once reached 71, but on this day it was finally fixed at 47.

On this day, Lily estimated that they had walked more than 40 kilometers, and that they were in a rocky and wooded canyon forest, and that when it was close to dark, everyone was too exhausted to drag their feet. And those xenomorph creatures that seem to have infinite physical strength are immersed in psychedelic madness all day because they have snacks to eat all the way, and the dark eyes of xenomorph creatures who have eaten more human flesh and blood are glowing red, they are in a state of excitement, and from time to time they will howl like wolves, and the leader of the xenomorph creature not only does not stop it, but also seems to be happy to see such a situation, so it is okay to chirp and echo. This made the xenomorphs who had not eaten human flesh even more envious, and stared at the exhausted crowd even more eager and eager.

Just when everyone thought it was going to be their dinner, the huge team came to a clearing in the forest, and then under the hiss of the leader of the xenomorphs, all the xenomorphs stopped, and they formed a large circle to enclose the humans in the middle, and Lily They didn't know what these guys were going to do, so they were naturally terrified. But the xenos who sat or lay down, or who were lying on trees or standing on rocks, showed a rare level of peace on this day, and most of the xenos ignored the lilies and the humans. After it was completely dark, these xenomorphs sat cross-legged, stood with their spears beside them, and looked at the silky glittering stars in the sky and began to whisper, which at first was just a low and weak sound of mosquitoes, and then gradually joined together to form a low river, in this strange atmosphere, Lilies and they fell asleep in confusion as if enchanted.
