A huge tornado stretched across the sky and the earth as if covering the sky. The middle part of the tornado was a little unusually slender, but this did not affect the visual impact that the tornado brought to Ariel.
"What... is this?" Ariel could no longer hear her own voice. She was so frightened by the scene in front of her that she could not speak.
But soon, Ariel noticed something else. Why was this tornado so quiet?
Yes, Ariel initially thought that the tornado covering the sky in front of her was a tornado of natural disaster, but she finally realized something was wrong.
For a tornado, this is too quiet; for a tornado, the wind rotates too slowly.

St. Lance Orphanage, 10 a.m.
Lily proposed to restart the search and rescue of John's "Screening Patrol" team, which was questioned by Stephenson, because when they first went across the Thames River, they encountered huge creatures that they could not handle at all.
In this regard, Lily's solution is to use the London subway lines to move as much as possible to avoid direct contact with the behemoths on the ground. Although this may miss some clues about John's team, if John's team is still active, they are very large. Probability will also choose to move underground.
It was obvious that it was no longer safe to travel on the ground.
Lily also emphasized that this operation was still the same as the first one, that everyone's wishes would be followed and no one was forced to participate in the search and rescue. Stephenson did not say anything more.
"As for Ariel's sudden disappearance, I roughly know what happened. It's just that with our current capabilities, we can't find her, but don't worry, I think she should be safe now."
Of course, Lily is not just relying on guesswork, because Liu Shiqin is a good example. When Lily and the others found Liu Shiqin, she was lying quietly in an empty room in a building. Unless she encountered some particularly serious disaster or was attacked by that large creature, Keep an eye on it, otherwise it will definitely be safe.
Thinking of this, Lily thought of the presence she sensed passing through the first floor of the art gallery carrying high-value items when she was searching for John's team last time.
According to Ms. Liu Shiqin’s later answers and her own coins, it can be proven that Liu Shiqin has not been to the National Art Museum.
So who is it?
After confirming the list of search and rescue personnel for the second time, everyone dispersed, but Ander stopped Lily.
"Sister, are you really sure Ariel is safe?" Ander still couldn't feel reassured.
"I'm about 80% sure." Lily touched Ender's hair to express comfort.
"...Okay, I believe it, sister." Ander hesitated for two seconds and did not continue to ask, but then he asked:
"Sister, can I participate in this search and rescue?"
"Oh, God, my little Ender, didn't you listen to Sandra and you describe what we went through on our expedition the day before yesterday? Believe me, it was very dangerous."
"Well, I know, I know it's dangerous." Ender nodded first and continued without much pause:
"I don't want to lose Ariel and you, my sister, at the same time."
After hearing this, Lily was startled and said a little helplessly:
"Can you wish me a better life?"
Ender immediately blushed and waved his hands and said that he didn't mean that. He just wanted to accompany Lily to find Brother John.
Lily looked at Ander for a few more seconds. Ender didn't even flinch. He looked at Lily, his eyes filled with determination to go.
Sighing, Lily asked Ender to find Aiden to decide on his equipment selection.
Ender suddenly laughed heartily and ran downstairs to look for Aiden.
That afternoon, Lily set off with a new team. The goal was still London Station on the other side of the Thames River, but this time the team members changed slightly. Stephenson chose to withdraw this time, Ander joined, Dunn and Aiden. As with Camille, Sandra became more talkative because of Ander's participation, and was happily discussing something with Ender.
This time Lily decided to take the group across the Thames from Waterloo Bridge on the South Bank Theater side and try to get to Holborn Station so they could access the Underground line and approach London Station from underground.
Because this was an issue that had been discussed before departure, no one had any objections.
Ender was a little stunned when he saw the environmental impact caused by time eclipse. Although he had heard Lily and Sandra describe it, hearing it with his ears was not as shocking as seeing it with his own eyes. The rusted and damaged vehicles and building stones. The broken bodies collapsed due to the strong weathering caused by time eclipse. The streets are no longer smooth and smooth, and are filled with potholes and various debris.
All of this made Ender understand one thing. Many of the things Lily and the others mentioned might be more difficult to understand and frightening than what they described.
Seeing that Ender's expression was not right, Sandra patted Ender on the back and told him that he actually couldn't adapt either. This kind of apocalyptic scene usually only appears in movies and TV dramas, right?
Dunn heard the conversation between the two and said with a smile: "Gentlemen, welcome to the mysterious world."
Of course, chatting was just chatting. Lily and everyone were always on guard. They had not forgotten the fact that small animals might also mutate. For this reason, Aiden also brought a metal baseball bat for self-defense.
"Lily, it's a little strange."
Dunn suddenly approached Lily and whispered.
"Huh?" Lily expressed her doubts with a nasal voice. Nothing appeared in her perception that concerned her, and she didn't feel that anyone was staring at them.
"Do you think it's too quiet here? Um... I mean, there are no birds chirping."
As they walked along, there were still some noises from mice, rabbits and other animals, and everyone made sure it was safe before moving on. But after Dunn said this, Lily recalled it carefully for a few seconds, He nodded slowly and said:
"That seems to be the case."
Then Lily increased her volume and said in a voice that could be heard by everyone around her:
"Now we also need to pay attention to the top of our heads and pay attention to the sounds of birds. If anyone hears birds, or the sounds of birds, they must report it immediately."
Everyone nodded.
Lily took out the coin from her chest again and tried to increase the entropy, that is, the probability of reaching Waterloo Bridge safely. However, she was surprised to find that this attempt seemed to have failed. The coin did not give any feedback.
"Is it because there are too many uncontrollable factors?" Lily came up with such an idea for no reason.
