Chapter Twenty-Three: The Tail
The National Art Gallery of a country is indeed not to be underestimated, although it may be that in the subsequent period of time when the "fog of the two points" spread around the world and such a "wall" was erected in Dunlun City, people fled and scattered, and law and order basically ceased to exist.
The National Gallery is not immune, and some people with "good brains" will choose to take the risk and come here to smash and loot art works and collectibles, hoping that they will have the opportunity to make a fortune after leaving the "wall".
In the eyes of Lily, who walked all the way to the top floor of the art museum, the National Gallery has become an indescribably miserable appearance of glass ballasts all over the ground and art exhibits burned.
"Shit, this is ...... It's too much! Stephenson gritted his teeth along the way.
As a lover of history and art, he really couldn't accept these exhibits that could be placed in the National Gallery, and these works were robbed, smashed and burned in this way, so that he exploded.
Even the ornate architectural details of the National Gallery are indeed fascinating, but now no one is in the mood to see them, and the walls of the once colorful exhibits have been pitted by man-made smashing and vandalism, which also makes the people lose the nature of conversation.
In the end, they are all just children, who were abandoned by their parents and had to stay in the orphanage day after day when other peers had already lived a fulfilling middle and high school campus life, waiting for a kind person to take them away, or waiting for the age of 15 to leave the orphanage and make a living on their own.
Now they haven't even had a good understanding of this world, but they have already seen the collapse of order and the miserable scene of the darkness of the world, not to mention that they have all seen the excitement and beauty of the original world, and they have their own visions for their future lives.
"Whew......" Dunn exhaled, and then complained:
"It's breathless...... Is it true that once you become an adult, you can do bad things? ”
"Maybe....... Children too. Lily pointed to a corner of the wall where there were clearly child's shoe prints.
Suddenly, the entire gallery of the museum became empty and silent, except for Lily's voice echoing for a few seconds.
Dunn felt the corners of his mouth cramp.
"Ahh A shrill roar that was less like a beast than a bird came from the faintly lit ceiling of the museum, so loud that Lily couldn't help but cover her ears, and then Lily and her group heard a heavy object fall on the roof of the museum.
Aiden immediately made a silent gesture to the crowd, and then quickened his pace to the second-floor window.
When they first entered the museum, they picked up all kinds of pamphlets scattered all over the place, including a general map of the museum, so they didn't run around the museum blindly, and the only uncomfortable thing was that they planned to go to the top floor of the museum, where the view was better.
But now that there is an unknown entity on the top floor, it is obviously not appropriate to go to the top floor, so you can only change the target and go to the second floor.
Thanks to the solidity and reliability of the museum building, although there seems to be some behemoth on the roof of the museum, it has not caused any collapse or damage to the museum.
Ascending the stairs, everyone came to the corridor on the northeast side of the museum, and each found a vertical window and began to observe the outside of the museum, but as expected, they could not see anything except the fog.
"Is there any bird that is big enough to land on an art museum and make a sound?" Dunn couldn't think of it himself, so he asked Aiden about it.
"No, it is known...... Maximal...... Birds...... It's an ostrich, but ...... They...... No...... Fly. Aiden shook his head and replied slowly.
"And where are the ostriches in Dunlun City?" Dunn added.
The two were silent for a few seconds, and Dunn couldn't help but ask:
"What the hell is that thing above our heads?"
Aiden rolled his eyes, I know I'm still using my cat here?
Suddenly, a huge piece of something suddenly blocked Aiden and Dunn's entire window view, and also made the light dim, Dunn hurriedly looked at the window where Lily and Camille were on the left, and found that Lily and Camille had no light, probably also blocked, he looked back out the window again, trying to see if he could see what it was.
"Stand back!" Aiden immediately reminded the person in a deep voice.
Dunn also had to abandon his plan, and first retreated to the wall behind them with the others, and as soon as they pressed against the wall, everyone saw that the huge thing was slightly raised, and they slapped it again, and slapped the outside of the wall they were just on, and made a booming sound.
Even the glass in the window where Dunn and Eden were standing just now was directly crushed by the air pressure of this huge thing, and it shattered in the eyes of everyone's heartbeats.
But Aiden and Dunn could see what it was—a lizard-like tail with something like a membrane attached to a duck's flipper at the edges.
Then the tail stopped flapping and began to slowly be lifted, slowly disappearing from view like a curtain being raised.
Aiden looked at Lily not far away, but found that the other party's face was a little ugly, and he had to move slowly to Lily and ask what was wrong with Lily.
"There is a ...... What I felt was valuable came to me. But it was moving, and just now, past our feet, to our right. ”
After listening to this, Aiden took out the Glock pistol directly from his bag, opened the insurance, and pulled the bolt, although he was not skilled, but the steps were clear.
Sandra and Stephenson didn't know that their team actually had a gun, and their eyes suddenly lit up in surprise.
Silently leaning against the wall to the staircase on the far right side of the corridor, Aiden began to look at the stairs with the corner of his eye, and began to look at whether there were people or creatures on the stairs, and for a moment ...... Twice ......
"The induction is gone." Lily said suddenly.
"Induction...... Accuracy...... Probably...... How many? It's mine...... Meaning...... Yes, can ...... Tell the difference...... Indoors...... and outdoor ...... Is it? Aiden didn't give up on observation, and asked as he cut the corners.
"Can't...... You mean, that 'high value' target might be outside the museum? ”
"Hmm...... And...... Maybe...... It is...... John Squad ...... of who. After making sure that there was no danger, Aiden turned on the pistol safety again and looked back at Lily and the others.
"Is there a basis for judgment?"
"Nope."
“...... Gut feeling? ”
"It's not."
Lily reached out to cover her face, and the others had the same expressions on their faces as if you wanted to hear what you were saying.
"Actually...... Nor is it ...... No. Aiden added.
