Chapter 14: Voices from the Depths

As they had to follow the railroad tracks, Lily and her party needed to get close to Waterloo Station and determine if the railroad line was the one they were going to take.

Although it is possible to go directly to the Thames and find a way to the past, it is easy to waste time if it is a headless fly and it is easy to waste time, and Lily and the others are now in a race against time.

Compared to the surrounding buildings that have been damaged or collapsed, Waterloo Station only says that from the outside, apart from the inevitable little obsolescence, there are no obvious signs of collapse or damage, even the main entrance of the station, the mechanical clock above the gate of the world-famous Arc de Triomphe, is stubbornly moving the second hand once in a while.

On the tall stone pillars on both sides of the clock, many bronze statues stand there with different movements, and their expressions are also vivid, but they will never change, just like the fog surrounding Dunlun City, eternal and unchanged.

"Who are those bronze statues? All I know is that it was in honor of the Battle of Arc de Triomphe. Stephenson asked, curiously, for he was a fond of art and history.

But it was clear that no one in the team could answer his question, the children in the orphanage basically maintained a simple lifestyle until they became adults, and rarely had the opportunity to go out to play or play, and even if they could, they were led by the orphanage teachers to visit places of great historical or political significance.

Lily once went to the British Museum, the legendary art center in Dunlun City, with a sightseeing group led by the director of the orphanage, and although Lily couldn't understand anything, Lily was shocked.

"You know more than we do, Stephenson. Okay, let's go into the semi-enclosed building where the situation is unknown, so be careful. Lily reminded the group, then motioned for Sandra to move on.

After pulling out his flashlight and pressing it, Sandra began to explore the area in front of him with full concentration.

Although according to the general painting style of various railway stations in Dunlun City, the hall of the railway station should first be made of steel to create a special vault structure designed by the designer, and then the special material of glass is inlaid in the middle of the steel void, and finally form a transparent vault design.

However, due to the direct sunlight of the [Two Points of Fog], the light that can penetrate the station through the transparent vault is very limited.

But after walking a few steps, Sang Zhuo reluctantly half-lifted the alert posture, no way, within the 24-meter horizon, except for an erected sign, there was nothing...... He couldn't even see the shops on either side.

"Wow......" Stephenson, who was walking in the middle of the line, couldn't help but sigh.

"That's a big ......station," Camille muttered quietly.

It's not the first time that Lily and Aiden have come, so they're not so surprised, but the fact that they can't see the shops on both sides still makes Lily a little helpless, what is this wary of?

"Boom!"

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound from the depths of the station.

Several people immediately stopped, Stephenson looked left and right in a little panic, Sandro stared intently in the direction where the sound came from, Dunn began to slowly move to the right side of the line, trying to change his vision so that he could see the shops on one side, and Lily began to listen and sense it with full attention.

Well...... There were no sapient creatures peering at me within 50 meters, nothing "valuable", and I couldn't hear any extra sounds.

After making these few judgments, Lily looked back at Aiden and shook her head slightly.

After leaving, Lily told Aiden about her abilities, so she believed Aiden understood what she meant.

Sure enough, Aiden immediately realized and began to move to the right.

As Dunn and Aiden moved, everyone began to slowly approach the shop on the right, and although Stephenson didn't quite understand why, everyone was moving, and he couldn't stand still.

"Aiden, did you bring that?" Lily asked in a whisper as she moved closer to Aiden.

"Hmm." Aiden snorted simply.

Lily said no more, and followed Dunn, who was at the front, all the way along the shop on the far right of the station to the station.

On the way here, Lily told everyone in the team about the unidentified others they might encounter during their expedition.

Due to John's disappearance, Lily thinks that if she meets someone else this time, then there is a high probability that the other party has great malice, so she doesn't have to think about negotiating or anything, either find a way not to be discovered, or find a way to solve the other party.

For the time being, Lily felt that it was still too difficult to solve the other party, she and whether it was Dunn or Aiden, or anyone else in the team, after all, she was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old teenager, and she really had the courage to do that kind of thing?

Even though Lily is nominally an adult, it is clear that the human mind cannot change immediately just because she is a year older.

Because of the departure of the teachers in the orphanage, she and John and others had to grow up and mature early, but the age and experience were there, and she couldn't give herself psychological construction to let her kill someone It doesn't matter, she doesn't resist.

Therefore, hiding if you can is the theme of this exploration.

Don't look at Lily and they're moving towards the station, but from the outset their goal wasn't to find out where the sound was coming from or what was causing it, they were trying to find the right track and get out of the station quickly.

Arriving at the closed ticket gate, Dunn quickly glanced inward, then turned and pointed at Sandro, comparing his heart...... This is actually a gesture that they negotiated after communicating on the road, which means exchanging positions.

Sandra nodded, quickly stepped forward to alternate Dunn's position, and then easily jumped over the barrier of the turnstile, and quickly looked around.

Aiden, Stephenson, Lily and the others also quickly crossed the baffle, but Camille had a bit of a hard time when she climbed over, to use Ender's game terminology, she took the power line, so her agility was a little worse......

Incidentally, the train stations of the British Empire were almost unscreened......

Of course, there is no need for security checks inside the "walls" today.

After quickly discerning the line to Embankment Station, Sandra began to take the lead towards Platform Three, which was the fixed line to London Station at Waterloo Station, so that track would definitely lead to Embankment Station.

To get to the platform, they had to walk down a flight of stairs, so the team changed formation and moved in the form of 222, and the last two had to keep an eye on the movement from the heights behind them.

The crowd didn't move fast, because they wanted to control the stereo and try not to make a loud noise, so it took them more than a minute to walk up the 100-plus steps and descend to the platform.
