Chapter 41: Cracking
Lily returned to the stairwell from the rooftop and described what she had seen, along with the questions she had come to mind.
But then she said:
"It's hard to have answers to these questions unless we follow the monster up close for a few days, but it's clear that that's not what we're here to do, so we'll put them aside for now."
"I agree." Dunn immediately raised his hands.
Glancing at a childish Dunn, Lily offered to rehydrate and eat before heading off to the subway station, which was approved.
After replenishing their water and food, the group set out again, leaving through the back door of the Royal Judicial House, and through the short street, they saw a large tennis court that had become yellow.
Ander looked at the desolate world in front of him and wanted to sigh something, but suddenly found that he didn't seem to know how to write poetry and hadn't read much, so he gave up.
"Let's cross this tennis court directly, which will save a lot of time, and the direction of the station is just diagonal to the tennis court."
Sandra glanced at the map twice and suggested.
Lily thought about it, but rejected Sandro's proposal:
"I think it's better for us to walk on the streets, on the streets, not through the trees, through the grass. There are many small animals that we don't usually notice in the latter, and these small animals also need to be guarded against. ”
Sang Zhuo suddenly looked down at the map again:
"Then let's go north, see a language school and turn left, if it's still recognizable to us. If you can't, it's the second left turn. ”
"Well, it's detailed, it's good." Lily gave a thumbs up. And he took Ender to lead the way north.
She can't keep Sanjo in front all the time, and the mental tension at that moment will make Sanjo unable to bear it in advance and his body will collapse, so Ande, who has similar advantages to Sanjo, has become a good substitute.
And as an older sister, she wants to protect her younger brother, so she also walks ahead.
As she passed the first intersection, Lily glanced to her left, and she vaguely remembered that there was a museum.
But before she could retract her gaze, she suddenly paused her forward movements, and cold sweat slowly broke out on her forehead.
Seeing her stop suddenly, everyone's expressions stiffened, and they all stopped their movements in an instant and began to be on guard.
Dunn quickly approached Lily and asked in a low voice:
"Lily, what's wrong?"
Lily seemed to mutter, "Run! Fast...... Come on! ”
"What? I can't hear clearly? Dunn was anxious.
"What's the matter...... It's very powerful, it's terrifying...... "Lily's peeping induction took effect again, but compared to the last time, she had just given birth to the induction, and the goosebumps all over her body couldn't stop jumping out, and a slippery, cold, and damp feeling swept over her heart.
This feedback made her can't help but quiver a little bit, and she lost the ability to think for a while.
It was only very soon that the feeling of being watched faded and never reappeared, as if everything was an illusion.
Lily couldn't hold back, and fell directly to the ground, cold sweat couldn't stop flowing, panting slowly.
Seeing that Lily almost became a water man in a few seconds, everyone in the orphanage showed varying degrees of panic.
Lily suddenly became like this for unknown reasons, and the unknown is always the scariest thing.
Ander hurriedly took out the water in Lily's backpack and handed it to Lily to signal her to replenish some water, she was sweating so much at once, she would be dehydrated.
After taking the water, she didn't care about saying thank you, Lily quickly took a few sips of water, and the cold feeling was finally relieved, and she explained with some fearful difficulty:
"Just ...... I don't know what kind of existence exists...... Eyes were on us, and that feeling ...... It was so terrible that it gave me the illusion that my slippery, cold tentacles were licking my whole body, and I couldn't think of anything else. ”
"But the being seems to be gone, and it doesn't seem to be interested in us......" she added, in order not to worry everyone.
Dunn immediately looked around, trying to find a building where Lily could calm her mood first.
Camille was even more worried when she heard this, although she didn't feel anything, but after the last time she accompanied Lily to see the strange things on the platform of Waterloo Station, she had a great sense of awe for these things.
Now there is such an existence, just one glance at Lily makes Lily scared to be like this.
Is it really necessary to make it possible to go on and find John?
Aiden had a similar thought, and immediately stepped forward and crouched down, patting Lily on the back to signal that she was okay, while trying to organize the language:
"Lily, we ......"
Rumble!!!
Before Aiden could say a few words, everyone in the orphanage was bounced off the ground and flew upside down by the sudden earthquake-like impact.
Only Lily seemed to be jumping on the spot, and was bounced up nearly two meters high.
Among the various exclamations, I don't know who shouted to look at the feet.
Immediately, everyone who was still in the air saw the rapidly spreading cracks under their respective bodies, and the center of these cracks was ———— Lily.
The surrounding buildings made a strange sound of screeching rocks and steel bars, and they were finally unable to withstand the damage caused by the huge vibration, and the walls and rubble fell like raindrops, and it was not difficult to understand that these buildings were about to collapse.
Lily, who was the tallest in the center and was bulleted, was still cold and numb because of the inexplicable gaze just now, even if she saw that the street road where she was was began to crack and begin to deform, but the numbness in her legs and feet was still not relieved, she could only watch a huge hole appear inexplicably on the ground under her, not for anything else, just to devour her.
The shaking of the ground continued, and even though Camille was the first to hit the ground due to her weight, she could not stand still, and could only crawl with her arms to protect her head in an attempt to find a safe place.
At this time, the other people in the orphanage who landed one after another also subconsciously avoided the cracks under their feet, dodging the buildings that might collapse, even if they paid some attention to Lily, they couldn't rush to Lily's side in the first place.
"Sister!! Ender's heart-rending shouts echoed through the streets of Dunlun.
He clearly saw that his sister Lily was planted headlong into the cracked middle area, into the hole, but he couldn't stand on his own feet, and he couldn't do anything to remedy it.
Dunn also reacted, and began to think of a way to use the strength of the bulge caused by the crack in the ground, half-kneeling and half-crawling towards the crack where Lily fell.
He was the first to reach the crack, and tried to lean down, shouting to Lily as he tried to reach out and pull Lily up, but the next second he stopped screaming, because, seeing the bottom of the crack, he could not find Lily.
Immediately, Ande, who followed quickly and crawled over, was also stunned, unable to understand what was going on, what about his sister?
