Stephenson, Sandra felt a chill down her back after hearing this, and now she only felt that there would be many pairs of eyes, big or small, staring at her.
It was actually fine before Dunn and Lily said this just now. Except that the fog's vision restriction was a bit depressing, they didn't think there was any big problem.
But things are different now. Sandra even felt that if a giant spider suddenly rushed out of a collapsed convenience store next to him, he would not hesitate to go back to the orphanage and vowed never to come out again - —Sandra has a strong phobia of arachnophobia.
"Is it still too late for us to go back now?" Stephenson asked weakly.
Camille glanced at Stephenson angrily, I'm not afraid of any girl, why are you guys so cowardly?
Besides, Sister Lili is here too. With Sister Lili here, what is there to be afraid of?
Lily probably doesn't know that Camille is the only big fan of hers in the orphanage. The other big fan is John...but he is missing now.
"It's definitely not possible to go back." Lily walked at the end of the team and answered briefly.
"Hahaha...haha, I just said it casually." Stephenson scratched his head in embarrassment.
"Okay, let's move on." Lily didn't continue.
As everyone gradually explored, they discovered an even weirder thing. It seemed that the further east they went, the condition of the streets, various objects, and shops became worse and worse.
The number of collapsed buildings gradually increased, the cars on the road began to become rusty, and the street lights on both sides of the road were bent and fell to the ground.
Even the Waterloo Millennium Green has become bare. I don’t know if it’s because it hasn’t received sunlight for a long time or something else.
"Is that opposite...a hospital?" Stephenson said a little uncertainly, looking at the half-collapsed five-story building opposite Millennium Park.
"Yeah." Aiden nodded.
Lily now has a question in her mind:
That is, since the urban area has changed so much, why doesn't John mention it in every routine report? Or is it because he didn't think there was anything wrong with it and didn't mention it?
"Camille, the last time you and John went out for a 'screening', was the city already like this?"
Lily planned to ask about the previous situation first.
"It's nothing. Before we came out, the urban streets were not so shabby at all." Camille looked around and answered seriously.
"In other words, such changes only appeared suddenly recently..." Dunn thought.
"And...the further away from...the orphanage...the more...serious it becomes," Aiden added.
"Team John suddenly disappeared, and such a strange time eclipse phenomenon occurred in the city... Well, let's call it a time eclipse phenomenon." Dunn improvised a phrase, and he continued:
"It's hard for me not to suspect that John's disappearance has something to do with this strange eclipse phenomenon."
Lily and everyone nodded after listening. Although Dunn was talkative, his mind did move very quickly, and his analysis was also very reasonable.
"It seems that we also need to figure out...the cause of the time eclipse phenomenon." Lily sighed.
This level of difficulty is not unusually high.
"That is the last option, and it is indeed impossible for us to completely figure out what is causing the eclipse in just one exploration." Dunn comforted Lily.
"It sounds like it might be a protracted battle." Sandra cracked her knuckles.
"Going further, you will find Waterloo Railway Station. Let's first think about how to get to the other side of the Thames." Dunn suggested to everyone.
He felt that it was meaningless for everyone to focus on the phenomenon of eclipse, because there was no way to get any conclusions or answers in time.
"How to get to the other side of the Thames..." Lily looked for the map in her backpack.
Aiden had already unfolded a city map of London, pointed at a place and looked at Dunn:
Dunn looked at it and said quickly:
"We can take the Waterloo Bridge next to the South Bank Theater, or we can take the train track between Embankment Station and Waterloo Station. If we go from Embankment Station, we should be able to see Big Ben soon."
"John might have walked to the other side of the Thames from either side, but we can't tell which side he went to." Lily looked at the map, feeling a little distressed.
"Theoretically, this is true, but according to the information John reports each time, he goes to the Embankment Station far more often than from the South Bank Theater." Dunn replied without any pause. It can be seen that These were questions he had already thought about.
"Then do you have any suggestions, Aiden?" Lily asked, looking at Aiden's calm face.
"My...suggestion..." Aiden looked confused. Isn't this just choose 1 from 2? There is a 50% probability of going anywhere, just choose one way.
Lily looked at Aiden, who was a little confused, and suddenly figured out the matter.
With a blush on her face, Lily quickly wiped Sandra's head from beside her and took out the Queen's Head Coin from before.
Except for Aiden, everyone else's eyes widened in surprise at how Lily took out a coin from Sandra's head.
Sandra turned her head and scratched her crimson curly hair in disbelief, trying to find another coin.
"Zheng!" Lily flicked the coin in her hand into the air, then easily caught it in her hand. After looking down, she said, "Let's go to the direction of Big Ben."
It's a simple and clear way to decide.
Ever since, everyone began to move towards Waterloo Station.
As everyone approached Waterloo Station, it was obvious that the streets along the way began to become wider, and the magnificence of the buildings also increased.
The street lamps began to have decent decorations, and the store numbers also had a strong sense of design. Floor-to-ceiling windows or large-area advertising posters could be seen everywhere, and they were all of good quality, with no major damage or cracks.
Aiden even found a dozen canned foods and a box of water in a convenience store warehouse near the station, indirectly supplementing Lily and everyone's resources.
Lily stood at the largest intersection next to the station, looking at the surrounding architectural patterns and the completeness of the road surface, and couldn't help but sigh:
Even under the strange phenomenon of time eclipse, there is still no way to cover up the luxury and scenery of these buildings and streets. Should it be said that it is one of the famous large railway stations in London?
