Chapter 1321 259. Pandemic in the Lennon Islands
“How should I explain to Aunt Mary?”
cannot tell the truth directly. Jojo is not Anna, and mutual trust is not enough to convince Aunt Mary of the absurd truth.
【Give, she, ring】
But Lu Li, who has a special relationship with Anna, can.
“Jojo?”
A surprised whisper suddenly sounded, Jojo looked up at Aunt Mary on the stairs, she clutched the necklace worriedly, looked at the shreds of paper scattered in front of Jojo, and heard her talking to the air.
“Anna, is that you?”
Qiaoqiao shook his head: “No, it’s Mr. Lu Li.”
“Land from?”
Qiaoqiao stood under the stairs, Lu Li took off the ring as his soul faded: “This ring allows you to see him.”
“why?”
Aunt Mary couldn’t understand, or she didn’t realize that Lu Li was dead.
“Because Mr. Lu Li… died.”
“Where’s Anna? Didn’t she protect you? Was she by your side?”
Aunt Mary hurried down the stairs, the nightdress tie slipped off her shoulders, grabbed the ring and put it on her finger. She saw transparent silhouettes floating around the table.
“Oh no…what happened…”
The sad Aunt Mary slumped into the sofa, covering her lips and her eyes turning red.
Lu Li couldn’t tell Aunt Mary the truth, and couldn’t tell.
Jojo sat next to her and comforted her softly. When Aunt Mary’s mood eased, Lu Li blew the shreds of paper and asked Jojo to tell her about the troubles facing the Lennon Islands.
“Is the situation serious?”
The cyclone lingered on the shredded paper, picking out the words that Lu Li thought was appropriate.
【extreme, bad】
The entire Lennon Islands fell.
Aunt Mary didn’t doubt Lu Li, she was about to take off the ring, and suddenly paused: “Can you tell me about Anna’s current situation?”
The shredded paper flew over and pieced together a complete sentence:
【She, disappeared, gone】
A news that is neither good nor bad.
The silent Aunt Mary took off the ring and returned it to Jojo: “It’s more useful for you to carry it than me, I’ll go tell Aunt Roseanne the news.”
Pulling up the tie, Aunt Mary remembered something: “Jojo, can you help me find something convenient to move around?”
“It’s all in the suitcase and I haven’t had time to take it out.” Jojo said quickly.
asked Jojo to pack up the things to take away, and Lu Li crossed the beam roof and appeared on the roof.
The chimney beside smoked ash, and the still prosperous lights stretched from the distant city of Tambul.
But beneath the bustling surface there is an ominous atmosphere brewing. As the land rose higher and higher, the southeastern part of “Queen’s Island” was seen to be dark and dull.
A few dozen minutes ago, it was only a few streets.
Must hurry.
Lu Li fell back to the house. Aunt Mary and Qiaoqiao had packed their luggage and put on portable clothes, and at the same time convinced Aunt Roseanne.
But the old man was still complaining as he walked out of the house: “We should stay, it must be the rebels.”
Aunt Mary shook her head, because she found that the patrolling soldiers had disappeared for ten minutes.
And just as they carried the suitcases and pushed open the fence gate and came to the street, Lu Li, who was floating in the sky, saw the darkness spread to the city at a speed visible to the naked eye, and reached Shaning Street after a short ten seconds.
“Planck is a nice guy, he won’t let me tell you if something happens—”
The extinguished street lamp at the end of the street interrupted Aunt Roshan’s words, the darkness spread rapidly, the street bypass lamp where they were standing flickered, and the remaining faint light was annihilated.
Queen’s Island fell silent.
Darkness descended on Shanin Street, and other senses became sharpened. People on the street could gradually hear the tides brought by the sea breeze, the whining of the treetops, and the rushing church bells echoing faintly from afar.
嚓—
Jojo lit a match and replaced it with an oil lamp to dispel the darkness around him.
Qiaoqiao looked up at Lu Li who fell back, he nodded and realized that it had already started.
“Come on…” Jojo said according to the previous plan: “Go to the beach.”
The Lennon Islands are deeply rooted in people’s hearts of refuge. Aunt Roseanne stubbornly believed that it was just a power outage, but she obediently followed them into the woods, and followed the path stepped out of the woods to the coast.
Aunt Luoshan slowed them down, Lu Li temporarily left the team and went to the beach to find a suitable boat.
The interview of “The Lennon Islands Massacre” may be seriously distorted, regardless of the fisherman’s description or the distance the fisherman had approached, but one thing is certain, he did have a short stay off the coast of “Queen’s Island”.
This is their chance, as long as they get on a wooden boat and leave the island near the sea, Lu Li will be able to save them – in a nightmare.
But Lu Li wandered along the wooded coastline for several miles, but he couldn’t find the wooden boat. The only wooden boat that was found had rotted and decayed at the bottom, and it would sink before leaving the shoal.
And when Lu Li approached the port, he felt the evil spirits surging in the darkness.
Queen’s Harbour has been infected.
The abomination crawls and squirms in the dark. Lu Li had to fly high into the sky and throw them away, so as not to bring disaster to Qiaoqiao and the others.
Back to the coastline, Lu Li and the lit spots on the edge of the dark woods converge.
Qiaoqiao waved to the falling Lu Li: “Have you found the boat?”
Lu Li shook his head.
“Without a boat? How could it be possible…”
Jojo grew up in Belfast, and the beach near the harbour could not be without wooden boats, unless…
Jojo raised her head and looked at those black eyes.
The wet brown sand is littered with cluttered footprints and drag marks.
The fall of the Lennon Islands may have been more than a push…
Lu Li’s raised hand made Qiaoqiao return to his senses and looked in the direction he was pointing – the lighthouse standing on the edge of the reef.
There should be higher than the Queen’s Palace.
“Let’s go to the lighthouse!”
Jojo said, and Aunt Mary and Aunt Mary helped Aunt Susan approach the lighthouse.
Surprisingly, some people were already gathered here when they arrived.
“Old Hunter, the Dollys are there, oh and our little genius Rachel…”
Aunt Roseanne knew them, which meant they were all nearby neighbors.
Lu Li observed the luggage and clothes of these people, a group of middle-class people who would not lack resources, but would not have too much information.
And they know the weird “run to the heights” cue.
Jojo and the others approached the crowd and found that they were blocked by the lighthouse keeper. A woman was still patient and stubborn administrator explained.
Lu Li couldn’t help at this time.
Feeling that the crisis was imminent, Jojo squeezed into the crowd to interrupt their conversation and said directly: “Let’s hide in the lighthouse, you have nothing to lose, and if there are… rebels, you are equivalent to saving us all!”
“Okay… but when the soldiers come, you have to leave immediately.”
The administrator no longer insisted, and opened the lighthouse gate.
“Let’s hurry in.”
Jojo sighed in relief, and Aunt Mary helped Aunt Luo Shan into the quiet lighthouse sheltered from the wind and lit by oil lamps.
Obviously, heights cannot really shelter them, but only temporarily.
But now, they are safe, for now.
