Bellamy is an old and ancient country. When Gu Li runs across the rooftops, you can feel the soft, crisp sound of the wooden tiled roofs under your feet.
Since last night, the entire city has been plunged into eternal night, with a huge moon, heavy with pollution, seemingly situated on all sides of the city.
No matter which direction you look from, everyone can see the full moon.
Gu Li joined the first squad, and the other rescue and evacuation squads set off one after another according to plan after He Shiyi and others went out to attract the alien species.
The first squad was followed by survivors resting near the tavern, but the number of them was even smaller than the number yesterday.
Not everyone had the courage to cross the city with them again to reach the border, so the group had to give up with regret and quickly leave with the survivors who were willing to continue.
He Wei pursed her lips and followed behind Duke. She was placed in the middle of the team for protection, and the entire team had to slow down again to match her movement speed.
She looked up and saw Gu Li's figure moving effortlessly on the rooftop. Her long, light golden hair was tied low behind her head with a familiar black ribbon, swaying with her movements.
Before this mission, He Wei often learned about Gu Li's unrestrained and flamboyant actions through various channels. She envied her freedom and power and longed for such a life.
Upon learning that their operation was missing a Child of Light, she joined forces with her like-minded classmates to find Gu Li. Before setting off, she was secretly delighted to be able to catch up with Gu Li's footsteps.
But ever since they entered Bellamy's, it was as if they had entered a bizarre and surreal underworld, where everyone was a sacrifice, manipulated at will to become monsters.
The deaths of her companions... all dealt a heavy blow to He Wei.
She began to ponder the meaning of her presence here. Given that the Children of Light faced numerous constraints in Bellamy, even having their physical abilities compromised, was their arrival and sacrifice truly meaningful?
He Wei walked mechanically in the line, her eyes gradually losing their sparkle.
Duke gestured: "There's movement ahead, keep quiet."
Having experienced too much in just one day, the survivors held their breath in fear. The team members quickly formed a formation, and one person led the survivors to slowly retreat to the corner.
The others, pressed against the shadows of the wall, gradually approached the fork in the road.
Standing on the rooftop, Gu Li saw the approaching object before the others. Her rapid movement paused on the eaves as her slender fingers brushed against the pendant at her waist.
The longsword that Levi had forged for her instantly appeared in her hand, and Gu Li said softly, "Keep going, leave this to me."
Duke gestured backward almost without hesitation, and continued forward with the terrified survivors.
One of them asked, trembling, "Isn't there something up ahead? Why don't we deal with it?"
He led his team members to be alert to their surroundings while answering their questions.
"Lord Gu Li has already gone; he was just a lone low-level creature, so there's no need to worry."
Among this group was the man Gu Li had led to escape from the east of the city yesterday. Although he was timid, he was very good at assessing the situation and was the first to agree to leave when the first squad came to persuade him.
His gaze subtly returned from the direction where Gu Li had disappeared. When she was injured and brought back by that terrible man yesterday, they guessed that she might be a weak girl who had been taken in by that man because of her beauty.
But now...
He looked away and began to feel grateful that he hadn't done anything too outrageous yesterday.
The group took two steps forward, and Gu Li reappeared on the rooftop. When they passed the fork in the road, no one dared to look closely at the alleyway that exuded a strong, fishy stench.
Gu Li stood on the roof and could hear a huge explosion coming from near the Presidential Palace. Countless figures rushed there from all directions.
Their destination was Bellamy's exit, a place already surrounded by countless lower species before they even entered.
She couldn't help but speed up again, her face unusually calm and collected. She tapped the screen of the live stream, and her face appeared in the live stream.
How much longer?
A barrage of golden light floated over everyone.
[Expected arrival in half an hour.]
The person's ID was "My Little Brother is the Best in the World," who frequently showered viewers with gifts during the live stream. He would occasionally crack jokes during the stream, but was mostly quiet.
Now they're actually having a conversation with Lili, as if they're quite familiar with each other.
The live stream chat paused for a moment, then started scrolling even faster, almost completely obscuring Gu Li's face.
[You traitor! When did you get involved with Lili?!]
Hand over the method and you won't be killed!
[Damn it, you brother-obsessed idiot, you're just showing off for nothing!]
[Actually, it's not small (whispering)]
After seeing Lancer's doctor, Gu Li stopped paying attention to the live stream.
Because finally, an interceptor appeared before her, one that was not part of the rabble.
Also appearing on the rooftop, a young man with a large tuft of curly hair squatted in a very wild posture on Gu Li's only path, his vertical pupils narrowed into long strips as he stared intently at her.
As Gu Li approached, a soft gurgling sound gradually escaped his throat.
Gu Li flipped the longsword in his hand, and using the forward leaning posture, he increased his speed. With his last step, he pushed off the roof, and his whole body rushed towards him like a sharp longsword.
The figure crouching on the roof shifted, almost instinctively falling backward. A sharp blade grazed the tip of his nose, and the next moment he rolled over and stood up, twitching his nose.
