The windows on the top floor of the magnificent, luxurious, pointed building were suddenly blocked by more than a dozen burly men wielding machine guns. The next moment, intense gunfire erupted from the windows, aimed at a point below.

The moment her finger brushed against the pendant, she subconsciously absorbed the residual contamination on the red powder, and the trace amount of contamination briefly activated the pendant.

Gu Li grabbed something casually, and as her energy was depleted again, she stared helplessly at the communicator she had just grabbed for a moment, then suddenly let out a sharp cracking sound.

With so many weapons, how incredibly unlucky could she be to just grab the one that's completely useless?!

Bullets rained down, and Gu Li casually slipped the communicator back onto his hand. In mid-air, he used his waist and abdomen to brace his toes and, at the last second, caught a bed sheet thrown out of a window.

Her back slammed against the wall with a thud.

Gu Li, holding the curtains, took a breath and nimbly rolled into the room. Wang Li, who was already waiting inside, grabbed her, threw her on his back, and frantically ran out. Her eyes were alert as she observed the scenery rushing past her.

He casually patted Wang Li on the shoulder and said, "You're pretty quick!"

Taking a moment to squeeze himself into the makeshift combat uniform, Wang Li's face was distorted by the pressure under the mask, and his voice was somewhat muffled: "Then why don't you see who's coming to pick you up?"

His lower body's insect tail was still exposed, and he wore a large black cloak to cover his rapidly swinging insect legs. He used his long staff to knock over the servants he encountered on the road.

The two rushed out of the main building, and then Wang Li yelled "Damn it!" and changed direction, rushing towards the back of the main building.

Gu Li stared at the familiar figures who should have been attending the banquet in the side building. His heart sank. The worst had happened. They had already discovered their infiltration of the Presidential Palace.

Tonight is a complete trap!

She was being carried forward by Wang Li at a rapid pace, with pursuers seemingly pouring out of the main building behind her. Gu Li kept her body low and suddenly reached out and tore off a branch as thick as her wrist as they passed through the woods.

As the incredibly long, forked tongue came toward her, she twisted her wrist slightly, and the veins on the back of her slender hand instantly bulged.

The tongue that had instantly wrapped around the wooden stick was pulled along with the enormous alien creature behind it, its massive body glowing with a faint green light in the darkness, completely blocking their path.

As Wang Li hurried along, he heard the screams and struggles of the alien creature behind him and hissed in empathy, "Has anyone ever told you that you're rough..."

The sharp claws that attacked from behind instantly slapped off the bloated head of the green alien, and the head, dripping with dark green blood, flew to Wang Li's eyes.

He stared into those lifeless, bulging eyes for a split second, then instinctively swatted the long stick away, yelling, "What the hell was that?!"

Gu Li, who was trying his best to deal with the pursuers behind him, sneered: "The person your hardworking colleague treats so roughly."

She had been having a really bad night, and her tone inevitably carried a hint of sarcasm: "You were too rough with him. Maybe I can ask to switch seats."

The trees behind them were being struck repeatedly by something, making a series of cracking sounds, and even the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.

The two of them soon found out what it was.

Behind the Presidential Palace is a grove of trees that separates it from the city. Gu Li and his companion were traversing through it when the mysterious church, unaware of how many alien species were hiding within the Presidential Palace, relentlessly pursued them, causing them considerable trouble.

This greatly slowed down their progress. At the edge of the forest, where light was faintly visible, a huge worm with its enormous, ferocious mouth opened burst out of the ground, its dark, round mouth reeking of a strong stench.

Wang Liqian abruptly stopped, his soft arm swung out to grab the tree trunk beside him, and he flew away with Gu Li in tow.

He shouted sternly, "Hold on tight!"

The two of them, relying on Wang Li's inhuman body, swung back and forth on the extremely high branches of the trees in the forest, and even had to perform catching and throwing actions.

With a grim face, Gu Li was thrown away by Wang Li, dodging the attacking tentacles. She barely managed to grab onto a tree branch opposite her and took a breath.

“This is not about escaping for your life. How about I recommend you to the circus after I get out? It will definitely be more promising than what you are now.”

Wang Li gradually reconciled with his limp body, threw away a large group of swarming aliens, picked up Gu Li who was stomping on the head of an alien, and ran away as fast as he could when the opportunity presented itself.

"No need! Take care of yourself!"

The two rushed out of the woods behind the presidential palace, then their feet slipped and they fell into the rushing river outside the woods with two "plop" sounds.

Gu Li and Wang Li were separated by the current. As she swam toward the shore, she asked Wang Li, "Will you stay with me or go on your own? Let's make it clear first. I prefer you to stay with me, and then you can go on your own. At least that way, everyone will know you're still here."

Wang Li: "Glug glug glug glug help!! Glug glug glug!"

Gu Li: ?!

Half an hour later, the two sat on the roof of a small building, silently looking into the distance, with Wang Li looking embarrassed.

Gu Li's face was so tired that she lost all expression. She leaned against the roof in a daze to recover her strength. After a while, under Wang Li's strange gaze, she reached under her wet long skirt and pulled out a piece of bread that was wrapped tightly.

The bread slices have now become somewhat soggy for well-known reasons.

Gu Li casually tossed half of it to Wang Li: "Eat something first, we'll go find someone to meet up with later."

She didn't see the conflicted look on Wang Li's face as he carefully held the bread slice, and continued, "Although we lost contact after entering the city, Bellamy is a small child, so I don't know how many people received the message I sent out."

Wang Li remained silent.

"Hey, don't be so pessimistic. I think everyone's situation shouldn't be too bad..."

After all, the methods of the mysterious cult need time to mature.

Gu Li suddenly realized halfway through his sentence that Wang Li's current situation was arguably the most unfortunate among the infiltrating team, and silently stopped talking.

"That's enough, let's go."

"Yue!!!"

Gu Li's pupils suddenly dilated in surprise at the sound coming from beside him. He quickly looked over and saw that the bread slice he had just handed to Wang Li had turned into a puddle of unidentified vomit. Wang Li's face was obscured by shadows, so his expression was not visible.

She opened her mouth.

It's her fault that the people of the alien city basically wouldn't eat in front of her before they returned to human form.

Gu Li stepped forward.

Wang Li, who had been hanging his head, suddenly stood up and forced a smile at her: "Let's go. I haven't gotten used to this body yet, sorry."
