Chapter Twenty-Four: Dragons
"Actually, it's not nothing." Dunn followed suit.
"First, the disappearance of Team John's is most likely related to this strange passage of time." Dunn began to follow Aiden's words, holding out a finger and saying.
"Second, if anyone could have come in from the 'wall' and take John, they would have come to our orphanage and take us away, or take us away." Dunn held out a second finger.
"Third...... Third...... Dunn didn't get a third finger up, and he was probably handsome for three seconds.
"Thirdly, what if...... Say now...... And also...... Who will be in ...... This area ...... move, that probability...... It is...... John Squad ...... of people. Aiden concluded.
"yes, that's what I meant." Dunn had a look on my face that I just thought.
"Looks like we're going to change our goals." Lily agrees with Aiden and Dunn's analysis.
"Someone who just passed under our feet was carrying a high-value item that I could sense, and my maximum sensing range was 50 meters."
"Oh yes, the presence that peeps at our team may have a maximum visual distance of about 50-60 meters in the fog, and its peep at us is intermittent during the time we moved to the museum." Lily added the basic information, which she felt everyone needed to grasp in advance.
"Are you saying that not all creatures are limited to a 24-meter range of sight?" Dunn asked rhetorically.
"Well, although the specific reason is unknown." Lily nodded.
"It is not difficult to guess that the centimeter, decimeter, and meter are the units of measurement that are prescribed by us human beings, so this strange law based on Arabic numerals may be confined to us humans." Dunn narrowed his eyes in response.
"Look, something is approaching!" Sandra suddenly alerted, and he keenly noticed that outside the window he could see, there was an abnormal tumbling in the fog more than twenty meters away, and the fog seemed to be pushed away by something.
"Hmm......" A low, terrifying voice that could never be human echoed in everyone's ears, causing everyone to subconsciously tighten their breath and look at the fog outside the window they could see.
A misty shadow appeared in everyone's sight, how to describe it, just like a huge elliptical sphere with an angle of about 120 degrees, and there are more than a dozen structures that may be three or four meters long, which are similar to cones, and this is probably just the head of the creature or something, it really can't be reminiscent of any creature that existed in the original world.
But before the thing could completely emerge from the fog, everyone felt a vibration from the top floor of the art museum overhead, followed by a deafening sharp roar that shook everyone's eardrums, and Stephenson even squatted on the ground in some pain.
Lily barely managed to look out the window at the roar, and saw a strange creature with wings that looked a bit like a creeper dragging its long tail and pounced on the black shadow that had just appeared, and then the two disappeared together into the mist, with a few roars and the sound of heavy objects hitting something from time to time.
"Infighting, this?" Sang Zhuo asked dryly, but there was no response, he turned his head to look, okay, only Lily and himself were still standing, even Aiden fell to the ground, gasping for breath.
Lily is now seriously considering the necessity of canceling this operation and bringing everyone back immediately, this city has become a place they can't understand, what is the black shadow? And what just flew over? Why does it look so much like ...... Dragon? It's the kind of dragon that will appear in film and television works, with the appearance of a reptilian lizard, but with huge wings......
Aiden...... I think we ......" Lily reached for Aiden beside her.
"Can't...... Giving up, just ...... Pregnant...... clues, if ...... Such...... Go back...... Talk to us...... Probably really...... There is no ...... Here's your chance. Aiden guessed Lily's thoughts, but in fact, let alone Lily, he was also hesitating.
"But......" Lily pursed her lips, do you want me to drag you to death with you? Lily felt like she couldn't do it.
Aiden motioned for everyone to go downstairs first, the second floor was already unsafe, and at the same time asked Sandra to stay at the edge of the stairs on the second floor, make an early warning, and immediately come down to inform everyone if something was wrong.
After coming to the first floor, Aiden turned on his flashlight, took out the map of Dunlun City he was carrying again, briefly calculated the direction, observed for a few seconds, and then, he stretched out his hand and pointed to a place, looked at Dunn, Dunn thought for two seconds, and said:
"I'm guessing Aiden means we're only exploring here, and if we can't find the carrier of the high-value item you're feeling, we'll return, right?" Dunn looked back at Aiden and got a nod in reply.
Lily looked at the location that Aiden was pointing to - the Duke's House of Somoset, which was indeed the direction in which the high-value target carrier she sensed had disappeared, and it also happened to be the largest building near the Waterloo Bridge, according to Aiden, if nothing was found there, everyone could use the Waterloo Bridge to cross the Thames and return to the orphanage.
Lily looked up at the others, Camille simply nodded in response, Dunn naturally didn't have to, although Sandra was upstairs, but he probably heard the conversation of the people below, so he snapped his fingers to show no objection, Stephenson's face was not good-looking, he actually wanted to return directly, but he also understood the consequences of Aiden saying that he missed this opportunity.
After a few seconds of struggle, Stephenson nodded slowly.
"I see, that's it." Lily took a deep breath and agreed to Aiden's proposal.
The group left the National Gallery again, moving quickly along the main road to the west, and Lily had been worried that the strange peeping at them would continue to follow, but she could not continue to sense the feeling of being spied on. In the dusty streets, there was only the sound of people's moving footsteps.
Occasionally, there would be one or two bird-like sounds in the sky, but now people don't simply think that it is a bird, and the lesson is there.
Everyone tried their best to find a way to quickly enter the building to avoid all the way, and at the same time expected Lily's sense to detect something, but unfortunately the distance was already halfway through, but Lily couldn't detect anything, and the carrier of the high-value item disappeared like a stone ox into the sea.
During this time, everyone actually heard another roar, which must have been made by the huge creature they heard in the first place, and Dunn recited a sentence that he probably won the battle, so he cheered, and no one answered his stubble.
The current situation is really a high-pressure environment, and everyone has to play 12 points of mental alert.
Suddenly, Lily turned her head to look north:
"It's inductive! On the north side. ”
"Change formation, Sandro, you go to the lead and lead the way, by the way, pay attention to whether the other party has a mobile position, Dunn, you and Aiden cover for me together, Camille, Stephenson, don't fall behind, follow Aiden and Dunn, Camille, I'll leave it to you later, if you find it, you will shout directly." Lily's reaction was also extremely fast, and she quickly assigned everyone's tasks.
"Okay." "Okay!"
