Yarin's POV:
"What we saw was what the other party could see. They probably realize that the 'door' has been opened. However, compared to our situation, where we are completely in the dark, they know exactly what the real exchange station situation is. We'll easily fall into their trap if we're not careful."
"Will the Lily of the Valley take the initiative to attack?"
"I can't be sure about that. To them, hiding in a shell is enough to make us unable to find them, and taking the initiative to attack can also give them the initiative. We are the passive side. Now, let's counter each other's moves."
Seeing this, Aunt Eve immediately reorganized all the people into groups of four. No matter what they did, they had to advance and retreat together to ensure no one was left alone.
"There is a rift between illusion and reality," she said loudly. "This is our chance to save our compatriots and teach the uninvited guests a lesson! Bring out your spirit and act like werewolf warriors! Our priority is to ensure the safety of the hostages and rescue them, understand?"
"Understood!"
"What if the hostages are humans?" a soldier asked. "What should we do?"
Good question.
Everything would be fine if the Lily of the Valley only kidnapped werewolves. We would have to do our best to save them. But the trouble was that the other half of the hostages in their hands were humans. If they encounter them, should they save them or not?
This was not as simple as having a righteous heart. Humans were not citizens of the werewolves. Strictly speaking, we had no rights or obligations to them.
Including saving them from the Lily of the Valley.
If werewolves and humans were still brothers, it would be fine if they were saved. But now, the relationship between the two sides was very awkward. Any small matter could become the beginning of other fires.
What if the human hostages were injured in the rescue? What if Jasper distorted the truth and publicized it? Like what she did this time, the werewolves were as disgusting as sh*t!
The commander-in-chief had to consider all these. There was more than one rescue mission on Aunt Eve's shoulders.
After thinking for a while, she said firmly, "Save them. If you encounter any hostages, be they werewolves or humans, save them if you can. Other matters will be considered by those who should take care of it. As warriors, we must fulfill our responsibilities."
Aunt Eve chose to stick to the character of a warrior, which the others insisted on.
The broadcast station was different now.
It was an ordinary white wall. Half was white and clean, but the other half was covered in ferocious bloodstains. This meant it was an intersection between the real and folded space. It wasn't dangerous, but everyone who saw it gradually fell silent.
There was blood, which meant that there had been a battle. Someone was injured or even... died.
The overlapping point provided us with a direction to move forward. From the traces revealed in the other space, we could determine if there were traces of activity here, helping us avoid some situations where we wandered around in an empty room.
However, the broadcast station was still too big. Normally, it wouldn't be conspicuous regarding the number of floors or occupied areas. However, I wished it was only as big as a toilet at this critical moment.
I was following Aunt Eve carefully when suddenly, there was a fierce exchange of fire upstairs! Aunt Eve immediately ordered, "We've encountered the enemy. Go and provide support!"
On the fourth floor.
As the middle floor, it was initially meant for leisure purposes. There were a few small offices and an open-plan gym, tea hall, and other entertainment facilities.
At this moment, the fourth floor has become the most serious overlapping point. There were shadows of reality and fiction everywhere. At first glance, the entire room did not follow the laws of geometry.
In the messy gym, five humans were shooting at a werewolf warrior. The four-man squad should have easily subdued the enemy, but they still had to protect the hostages they had snatched back. They were tied up and fell into a disadvantage.
The hostages were placed behind a mountain of fitness equipment. The seven werewolves and three humans were unconscious.
Aunt Eve roared and immediately joined the battlefield. A silver light flashed from Aunt Dorothy's hand. I heard a crisp bird cry, followed by the kidnapper's wail.
A small silver bird joined the battlefield. It agilely and accurately attacked the enemy's eyes, ears, and other vulnerable parts.
At the same time, Aunt Eve ordered, "Yarin, go check on the hostage!"
After dodging a few bullets, I rolled to the back of the gym equipment and checked the condition of the hostages one by one. Fortunately, they did not find any wounds on anyone. I also found no signs of poisoning or contamination by evil forces when I checked their fingernails and eyeballs. They were just in a coma.
I tried to wake some of the people, but strangely, no matter what I did, it was useless. Even the strongest werewolf among them continued to sleep weakly.
Just as I put him down, I suddenly felt goosebumps all over my body and subconsciously retracted my hand.
A bullet had hit my palm!
I immediately ate the bullets, and at the gym entrance, more ferocious criminals joined the battlefield!
