Section 216 Hideout
When the battle was over, the people in the cottage let out a cheer and began to treat the wounded and repair the walls destroyed by trebuchets, and another wave of people came out of the cottage to mend the knives of the undead enemies, while also searching for something among the corpses, turning each dead or undead enemy over and examining the back of their heads.
Zhang Lan didn't have the heart to delve into the behavior of these black-robed people, he took advantage of the fact that the guards of the city wall at one of the corners were transferred to other places, and tried his best to run a distance of 500 meters in three seconds, stepping on the city wall and jumping onto the city wall at the same time.
"Is this a river embankment?" Zhang Lan couldn't help but complain in a pile of materials lying on the city wall, he found that although the height of this city wall was only ten meters, the width was more than thirty meters.
But even if the people of this cottage want to build the city wall into a long city, it has nothing to do with him, his purpose is to rescue the chirping, and the rest is just habitual curiosity. Under the inner wall, there are crowds of people who are nervously busy, carrying arrows, repairing the city walls, and rescuing the wounded, and they have a clear division of labor and perform their duties, which can be seen that this cottage should often have wars, otherwise it will not be so orderly.
"How do you get into the cottage?" Zhang Lan was extremely anxious in his heart, the guards of this section of the city wall should be back soon, but he didn't think of a way to blend into the cottage, you must know that the people here are only one meter tall, and he, a person close to one meter eight, has to cross the distance of five hundred meters, in the current situation of crowds, it is not too much to say that he stands out from the crowd.
Seeing that the black-robed man in charge of guarding this section of the city wall in the distance had begun to retreat.
"What to do? Could it be that he showed up and greeted them and said that he was not hostile, he was just looking for a companion, and he would leave if he found it, not to mention that the chirp was taken away by them, but they had just finished the battle now, and it was the right thing to do when he saw a strange guy as an enemy at the first time" Zhang Lan was thinking about all kinds of possibilities for dealing with the people in this cottage, and thinking about it in combination with his own purpose, it was only the most reasonable to sneak in, and at this moment he saw a group of people leading a pack beast and dragging something forward with difficulty.
"Boom... With a loud bang, a ballista fell off the city wall for unknown reasons, sending out a large amount of flying dust. This loud noise made almost half of the people under the city wall look at this side, and the team of black-robed people guarding this section of the city wall hurriedly ran back to check the situation.
It turned out that the large stone thrown by the enemy's trebuchet just now smashed a huge gap in the inner side of the city wall, and this ballista fell from this gap, and the black-robed men checked up and down the city wall and found that there was no other situation, so they began to call for people to pull a rhinoceros similar pack beast to pull the ballista back to the inner city for repairs.
Fortunately, the damage to this ballista was not very serious, otherwise the next battle they would have had a big problem defending this part of the wall. However, let them remember that this ballista should still be more than ten meters away from this gap, how could it suddenly fall from the city wall. However, since they had all fallen and had not found any other circumstances, they could only put aside their doubts and let the inner city auxiliary personnel tow the ballista back to the city to repair it as soon as possible.
And it's actually normal for them not to delve into this matter, you must know that this ballista is five or six meters long and wide, and the weight is close to five tons, and it is basically impossible to move it without pack beast manpower, so these guards do not suspect him, of course, the manpower in their common sense does not include Zhang Lan.
At this moment, Zhang Lan was hiding under the ballista base baffle, when the guards were about to re-walk on the city wall, he saw a group of people under the city wall dragging a ballista that was smashed by a stone to the inner city, and suddenly became anxious, pushed a ballista next to him to the gap in the city wall, and hid in the ballista baffle at the moment when the ballista fell off the city wall. That's why the guards don't think about the possibility of being artificial.
In the mooing of pack beasts, the ballista was dragged back to the inner city, and Zhang Lan, who was hiding under the ballista, carefully observed the layout of the inner city from the gap in the baffle, and kept it in mind.
"After this defeat, do you think the Zerg will still attack?" A young voice mixed with the sound of a creaking ballista wheel reached Zhang Lan's ears.
"I think it will be, I heard that the war between them and the Lizardman Empire is about to take place in the southeast, and they will definitely clear us of these unstable factors before the decisive battle," an older voice responded.
"That... Can we hold on to it? The young voice was full of worry.
"If it's the same scale as this one, it should be possible, but it shouldn't be possible... The old voice replied with a soft sigh.
"Then can't we surrender?" The young voice seemed very hesitant.
"Surrender? Hey.... Do you want to become some puppets outside the wall? The old voice let out a sneer.
"You two, stop the noise," a strong voice interjected into the two, leaving only the squeaking of the wheels of the crossbow behind them.
"Zerg? Puppet? No wonder who on the battlefield looks so stiff" Hearing these two words, Zhang Lan couldn't help but associate them with horror movies, and at the same time, he was also silently grateful in his heart for the universal language, so that he could still understand the language of the alien race here
"I don't know what race these guys are, I have to hurry up and rescue Chirp, if it's too late, will there be a Resident Evil!" Hearing the conversation of outsiders, Zhang Lan thought that the situation here was not good, and she had to find Chirp as soon as possible and stay away from here.
In the end, the ballista stopped in a large courtyard, and through the gap Zhang Lan found that this was a temporary storage place for war materials, and many damaged weapons were temporarily stored here, and there were three damaged ballistas parked next to him.
Most of the houses here are similar to those on the earth, they are mainly practical, mostly square, with walls, roofs, doors and windows parting, but occasionally different locations, and there are other buildings according to the terrain according to local conditions, such as those built on the cliff, like upside-down water droplets, and the houses under the cliffs are different from the water droplets and the shape here.
"Okay, just wait for the night" Zhang Lan looked around the room, and found that there was nothing but piles of arrows, so she thought of looking for chirp at night, you must know that his alien race is too conspicuous here, if he accidentally exposes his whereabouts, it will be as eye-catching as the sun.
He found a gap between the arrows, unloaded the goblin "Holy Suitcase" from his body and threw it into the gap, and wanted to hide in it to rest.
"Wow... Defenseless, a scream came into his ears, leaving him with a thrill.
"Wow... This voice is so familiar" At the same time as this voice sounded, Zhang Lan reflexively wanted to pounce into the gap to subdue the shouting person, but when she flew in the air, she suddenly found that this voice was so familiar.
"Wow... Wow。。。。。 The voice was still screaming in horror.
"Wow... Sure enough, it's you, is it you? When this voice sounded for the second time, Zhang Lan was sure that the person who screamed was the chirper, and such a huge accident made Zhang Lan feel a little unreal.
"Wow... Wow... Chirp was still dancing and screaming, only to see him push away the "holy suitcase" that had smashed in his face. Seeing a black shadow pounce on him again, he was frightened and tried to stop the black shadow from approaching, but he didn't hear Zhang Lan's shout at all.
There was no way, Zhang Lan had to mention the chirp in front of her eyes and shouted loudly: "You calm down and see who I am!" “
Hearing Zhang Lan's shouting, Chirp heard the other party's shouting clearly, the familiar voice made Chirp quiet, raised his eyes to look at the black shadow holding himself, and barely discerned Zhang Lan's appearance through the dim light through the window.
"Wow... It's you, scare me to death" Seeing that the person in front of him was Zhang Lan, the chirp became more excited, but it was a surprise.
"There's a sound in the arrow room, go check it out!" A voice came from outside the window. Although there are fewer people in this courtyard, it is not nothing, under the fierce "interaction" between Zhang Lan and the two, it finally attracted the attention of the people outside, so that the excited two quieted down for a while, and they both looked at each other with bitter faces.
Although the area of this room is large, it is full of arrows, and there is no hiding place at all, Zhang Lan let the chirp still hide in the same place, and he ran to the door, and then moved randomly when people entered the house. But not subduing the coming, or relying on their own speed to lure the people away, will make their situation more passive, but now there are only two options in this situation.
"You guys, go to the beast pen, there's a pack beast that needs help," a crisp voice suddenly sounded.
"What, the pack beast is frightened, let's go!" Those few people were also shocked when they heard this, knowing that the huge pack beast could easily haul several tons of goods, and every time the pack beast was frightened, it would cause great confusion and losses.
"That's right, Miss! There is an abnormal sound in the arrow room, you have to be careful! Just as the people ran out of the courtyard, one of them didn't forget to remind the visitors.
"Got it, I'll pay attention," the crisp voice replied, and then the sound of much thinner footsteps continued to walk towards the room where Zhang Lan and the others were.
"Well, it's much easier to do alone" Zhang Lan was about to do when the footsteps arrived at the door of the room.
"Don't do it... Just as the door was opened and Zhang Lan was about to catch the visitor, the chirp suddenly jumped out from between the arrows and shouted to him, making Zhang Lan and the visitor freeze at the same time and look at him together.
"Don't do it... It's a friend, everyone is a friend," saw that both of them looked at him, and explained in a loud voice.
"Yes! Who is your friend" Just when Zhang Lan was still frozen in her original position, the blue-robed man who pushed the door had already flashed in, and when he closed the door, he shouted loudly to the chirper.
