When the next day's sun shone on the lilies, the xenos around them remained in a cross-legged position, but without that muffled murmur. It didn't take long for Lily to be gently shaken awake by Anos, she looked at him blankly, Anos pulled her down into his arms and looked around again, and then quietly took out yesterday's hamburger from his pocket and said, "Hurry up and eat, you have something for the day." Lily's eyes were a little green when she saw the food, and several people had become food for the wounded and then xenomorphs because of hunger during the march yesterday, and if it hadn't been for Anos dragging her away, Lily might have become one of them.

Lily took the hamburger from Anos's hand and broke it into two without saying a word. grabbed one of the pieces and chewed it, and handed the other half to Anos, Anos wanted to push it back, Lily immediately squinted his eyes and glared at him, and then Anos immediately stuffed the burger into his mouth and didn't dare to say anything more, as long as Lily showed this expression from childhood to adulthood, if Anos still disobeyed her, then he would definitely not have "good fruit" to eat, until now this is almost Annos conditioned reflex.

After eating the burger, Lily felt tired and felt like she had retreated most of her body. After another quarter of an hour, the xenomorph leader let out a low whistle, and the other xenomorphs rose from their seated positions to wake up the rest of the humans who were still asleep. This kind of wake-up service is also very simple, that is, the human who has not woken up is whipped with a spear, and suddenly the whole forest clearing immediately resounded with a noisy wail.

The "wake-up call" lasted for nearly 10 minutes, and the chaotic procession began to move forward again amid another hiss from the xenomorph leader, and the humans and xenos returned to their state yesterday, because of the high-intensity march of the day, and without food, although after a night's rest, many people were in a worse state than yesterday, which made the xenomorphs waiting for snacks a little more.

The team continued to move forward, and after walking for about half a day, the surrounding trees gradually decreased, and more open spaces appeared from time to time, and the traces of these open spaces being cut down by hand became more and more obvious. Lily guessed that their destination might be near, and she gripped Annos tighter.

After another two hours of walking, they arrived at the destination of their trip when they saw no longer trees but stumps around them.

This is a gentle valley, no longer an endless forest like the rest of the valley, where trees are decorated and dotted with earthen houses, wooden forts and strange buildings scattered throughout the valley.

This valley is deep and long, a river flowing from the heavy mountains divides this valley into two parts, one large and one small, according to the topography, the lower reaches of the river are also the largest area of this valley, a large number, a thousand strange forms of buildings are scattered here, these buildings are like piles of garbage scattered in every corner of this area, from the hillside where the lilies are at this time, the messy colors look like a pile of discarded tattered oil paint, all kinds of dazzling colors mixed together, very eye-catching. They don't have any uniform style, and they are dirty and messy like ornate rat holes on the river beach.

In the other part of the valley, the earthen houses and wooden forts are distributed in the upper reaches of the higher ground, those earthen houses built of mud are like Eskimo igloos, the difference is only taller, and the rows of wood-built houses are interspersed with earthen houses like human war bunkers, these earthen houses and bunkers are distributed very regularly, and the streets are arranged like a Tibetan thangka, which has a more simple sense of order than the lower reaches of the river.

On a hillside above the earthen houses and wooden forts, a simple castle made of stone towers between the hills, and although it is simple, it is far more like a formal residence than a wooden castle with a mud house and a pile of muddy buildings in the lower reaches of the river. On the periphery of the castle is a walled hill that isolates the chaos and squalor and overlooks the valley.

Lily and they were driven down a dirt road down the hill into this valley. On both sides of the muddy road stood onlookers xenomorph creatures, they were dirty and ugly, most of them did not even have animal skins on their bodies, they looked at their bodies naked, their skin was dark and dazzling in the sunlight, some of them were only the size of a soil dog, some of their limbs were as thin as sticks, and some of them had small shriveled * hanging on their chests, obviously these were the old and weak women and children of xenomorph creatures, even if they were old and weak women and children, these xenomorph creatures all stared at humans without exception to show hunger and greed.

Under the gaze of a pair of black eyes that seemed to be bottomless pits, they walked into the cluttered buildings downstream. At this time, Lily knew what the alien creatures were carrying the elevator and all kinds of sundries back for. In the process of traveling, the xenomorph creatures that were carrying the debris were installed on various buildings, and the half car was directly thrown on an open field, becoming one of the strange buildings.

And the debris brought back by these xenomorph creatures is just a drop in the ocean of thousands of rags. Only a closer look will reveal why these buildings have so many colors, because each of these buildings is made of various kinds of rubbish, and the lilies know only a few things here, and the rest of the things are obviously not products of the earth.

Although these buildings are chaotic and do not have a uniform style, there is one kind of thing that is present on every building here, and that is luminous objects. In the most conspicuous places of each building, there are some reflective things such as mirrors, stainless steel, and glass, and on some slightly tall buildings, there are some transparent reflective but constantly changing forms of thin plates and other extraterrestrial things, which opened the eyes of the lilies. Even some high-end goods such as glass and mirrors are not installed on the edge of the cave will have a slightly reflective smooth stone.

"Look, the fist-sized transparent stone on that mound can't be a diamond!" Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted. "Ah, that washbasin-sized thing hanging from the wooden shelf looks like an emerald," the other shouted. Then more luminous reflective objects appeared, making the dizzying crowd burst into amazement from time to time.

But amazed and amazed, the xenomorph creatures were obviously not invited to visit, and some people were curious about a gold watch hanging on the building they passed by, and they couldn't help but want to take it off and take a look. But as soon as he stretched out his hand, a spear stabbed out from the side and pierced his shoulder, and with a flick of the arm, it twisted and flew out of his body, and flew into the crowd of old and weak women and children who were watching on both sides of the road, and the crowd was like a pool of alligators being fed, and the screaming and scrambling broke out at this moment, and from time to time a xenomorph child the size of an earth dog was trampled into the mud and disappeared.

At the terrible howl of some curious human, the leader of the xenomorphs smashed his mouth in satisfaction, and he passed the tip of his spear to his mouth and licked the blood on it, as proud as a triumphant general throwing spoils of war for the people who welcomed him. This sudden tragedy brought back some of the fear that had faded back into people's hearts, and made them realize that it was not the precious stones and treasures that were valuable here, but their lives, their flesh and blood.

Lily and the others were driven along the only muddy road, and it was not long before they walked out of the messy complex and walked to the side of the river in the valley, which was not very wide, only ten meters, and the current was fast. There are five thick logs set up side by side on the river as bridges, and although these large logs are large, the bridge can only accommodate three people walking side by side.

In front of the bridge, under the roar of the leader of the xenomorphs, most of the spear-wielding xenos were disbanded, leaving only about 1,000 lean. Lily and the others were driven across the bridge in groups of three, and she looked at the river that had been winding out of the valley at her feet, and gritted her teeth to pull Anos to jump off the bridge and fight for a chance to escape.

But she didn't expect that she was not the only one who had this idea, a middle-aged man had already jumped into the river before them. Just when Lily hesitated to jump into the river behind him and escape, the leader of the xenomorph creatures who seemed to have been prepared for a long time roared, and the spears of the xenomorphs on both sides of the bridge were thrown at the same time, and the middle-aged man who was still struggling to paddle in the river instantly turned into a hedgehog full of spears, followed by the leader of the xenomorph creatures also jumped into the river, grabbed the spear on the hedgehog's body and threw him onto the riverbank, followed by the spear in its hand at the bottom of the river and easily jumped on the riverbank, walked to the corpse and tore off an arm and brought it to its mouth and bit it, He smiled heartily at the xenos and humans who looked at it, and smashed its mouth full of blood.

Seeing this, Lily dispelled the idea of escaping with the help of the river. The crowd walked across the wooden bridge in horror to the screams of xenomorphs sharing corpses, to the other side of the river.

The upper reaches of the river are still very simple in the streets woven by earthen houses and wooden forts, but compared to the other side of the river, there is heaven and earth. There is rubble between the buildings, which makes it much easier to walk. The xenomorphs who escorted the lilies walked here, and they were much quieter without the mania of other places, and most of the xenomorphs watching in this area were wearing cloth clothes that only the leaders of xenomorphs wear. To Lily's surprise, their skin was still dark, but their eyes weren't as black as other xenomorphs. Some of their eye sockets are black with white in the middle, and some are already white with a little black in the middle.

Under the cold onlookers of these alien creatures, who were obviously different from the ones who escorted them, the leader of the group did not have the usual arrogance, and silently walked in front of the group, walking along a gravel road to the castle on the hillside.

The walls outside the castle were made of irregular piles of huge boulders that looked rough and majestic, and they walked in its shadow like dwarves in the land of giants. At the end of the gravel road, two gates also made of wood stood in the middle of the boulder walls, and the leader of the xenomorphs who walked out of the earthen house and wooden castle returned to his usual arrogant and arrogant appearance. Walking outside the wooden gate, he slammed the gate and howled loudly. It wasn't long before a group of xenos dressed in animal skins walked out, and one of them, after looking at the team of xenos and humans, began to hiss at each other with the leader of the xenos like two crows. The xenomorph leader clearly wanted to enter the wall, but the team behind the wall did not allow it, and after a few high-pitched hiss between the two, the xenomorph leader was defeated. I had to stand helplessly and watch the procession behind the city wall drive the humans into the wooden gate. As the door closed, Lily saw the leader of the xenomorphs standing in the doorway, grinning unwillingly at the door.

The world behind the walls takes Lily as if she had returned to the castle possessions of medieval European lords, where the houses are square and staggered, and the small streets are clearly well planned, compact and crowded, but orderly. The streets are paved with gravel, and there are even street lamps of unknown material scattered on both sides, and among these houses and streets is a slightly wider, same gravel avenue, which extends to the highest point of the hillside castle.

Walking on the gravel avenue, Lily found that although the city looked not small, there were not many people, only occasionally a few xenomorph creatures in cloth clothes hurriedly walked through the street, and when they saw Lily, they only looked at it from a distance in surprise, and no one stopped to watch. The team of more than 100 people escorting Lily and the xenomorphs outside the door are no different in appearance, the same slender five short bodies are holding wooden spears and wearing animal skins, but in Zhang Lan's opinion, the xenomorphs across the wall seem to be two kinds of creatures, which xenomorphs outside the city wall are undisciplined in the process of marching, they are all rushing up, eating and excreting at any time, and the two xenomorphic creatures will fight in the crowd anytime and anywhere, even the unconscious behavior of the wolves is more like sitting and whispering that night, Overall, the xenomorph creatures outside the walls are like high-level beasts. And the team behind the wall actually lined up in a neat line of five vertical and three horizontal, sandwiching the lilies and them in the middle with neat steps, the team was quiet and solemn, and these xenomorph creatures did not have a trace of restlessness, just like the army on the earth.

Escorted by this team, they stepped on the gravel street and came to a gate, a gate on a Chinese-style city wall, with battlements and arrows on the wall. The all-black gate, with its golden knockers and nails, was much smaller than the stone wall outside, but it was an inner wall made of bricks and stones, like the walls of the Forbidden City to protect the imperial palace.

The escort soldiers pushed open the two gates and escorted Lily into the courtyard of the castle. Compared with the tall city wall, the small courtyard and the city wall are very incompatible. Along the city walls, wooden cages resembling birdcages with a diameter of two meters and a height of three meters are erected, and they are now occupied by many residents.
