Chapter 509: Illusion
It was midnight and everything was quiet.
Apart from the occasional footsteps of the night watchmen, the only sound was the occasional snoring coming from a tent.
The tent of the seven people who were still unconscious was surrounded by the night watchmen, half of whom were psychics, all of whom were specially used by Li Zhuang to guard against any misconduct.
Liu Rui sat on a tall tree branch, looking from time to time towards the darkness in the distance. There was a constant buzzing sound coming from there. It was the sound of the propeller vibrating when a helicopter took off. His lover was sitting inside.
In the dead of night, everything was quiet. In an unnoticed corner, a corner of a tent was quietly opened, revealing the pale face of a woman. She looked around and retracted her gaze into the tent. After a moment, she tremblingly walked out, supporting a sturdy but scarred figure, and walked towards the depths of the forest.
Many of those on night watch are psychics. They are already at the edge of the primeval forest, and from time to time there are surging waves of animals from outside coming in. In addition to the high-level mutated animals inside the forest, their mental powers are almost constantly wandering around.
When guarding against a prepared high-level psychic, there may be occasional mistakes, but for two ordinary people, every move will not escape everyone's eyes.
However, the screams coming from the tent in the past two days were so shrill that they made them hesitate for a moment.
In the dim light of the campfire, one could clearly see that the tall and strong man had very little good flesh on his exposed upper body. The flesh on his shoulders and chest had been cut into a bloody mess, with only an extra layer of flesh above the skeleton. If he were an ordinary person, he would have been dying long ago, but at this moment, although half of his body was leaning on the woman who was supporting him, he was holding a knife in the other hand.
The two of them supported each other with difficulty and walked step by step towards the depths of the forest. No one on guard left. Everyone looked at each other in the dark, not knowing whether they should stop them or not.
While hesitating, he saw Ai Ping walking into the deep jungle with a grass stem in his mouth and a belt tied around his waist.
When I looked up, I saw these two people.
Ai Ping paused, and the two people opposite him stopped even more.
Nan Xiaomio's eyes were filled with tears of nervousness. She held Cangcuo's hand tightly and wanted to stand in front of Cangcuo, but was held down by Cangcuo. Even though Cangcuo was covered in blood, he still held the knife tightly in his hand, as if he wanted to struggle a little longer.
Behind me, wild beasts in the jungle howled, and small animals occasionally ran through the jungle, shaking the branches and making rustling sounds. Even the night was not peaceful.
Two such weak people might not survive if they went in.
Ai Ping glanced at Cangcuo's upper body, which was almost devoid of good meat, then turned his eyes away, walked towards the tent area, and whispered, "Next time you appear in front of these people, be prepared to die without a burial place."
He didn't wait for anyone to answer, and walked past the two people inside as if he didn't see anything.
Nan Xiaomo relaxed all over, took a deep breath, and touched Cangcuo beside him. The two looked at each other, smiled on their dirty faces, and stepped into the darkness without hesitation.
It was not very safe for a person covered in blood to enter the jungle, but the next day was the day when the golden eagle would leave. Except for Gu Fei, who was isolated and protected at the end, the golden eagle would definitely not let anyone else live. This was also their last chance to struggle.
The men on night watch tacitly pretended not to see anything. Ai Ping walked into the tent where they were locked up as if nothing had happened, poked his head out to take a look, and let out a low sigh.
He glanced at the people on guard, called Liu Rui over in a low voice, and burned all the people who had been killed in the tent, including the bloodstains underneath. He then quietly dismantled the tent and ran to a distance to clean it.
He was still thinking about how to explain to the golden eagle the next day, but Meng Huan, who had been sleeping, woke up early in the morning. The golden eagle focused all its attention on him. After hearing him say "it's solved", it nodded in agreement.
Meng Huan was in very poor physical condition. Dean only managed to save his life for one day, and then something happened to him. He was not able to completely recover from his injuries, and now he just woke up, ate something, and fell asleep again.
There was not even a chance to ask questions. Seeing that it was getting late, Li Zhuang did not waste any more time and asked the group to leave as soon as possible.

At the same time, everyone trapped in the illusion is experiencing different things.
Ning Yuan, who was in his twenties, was wearing a field uniform and driving a special field motorcycle provided by the army, speeding across the rugged mountains. Not far away, a group of young faces were watching the scene excitedly, and from time to time they put their hands to their mouths to make a trumpet shape and cheered to him.
There were several four-wheeled vehicles driving towards him quickly from time to time. Amid the exclamations of the onlookers, Ning Yuan jumped up with his motorcycle, flew into the air on the downhill slope, and landed slightly in front of the four-wheeled vehicles.
Ning Yuan shouted "Wuhu" at them and laughed loudly. The wind blew up the dust and carried away his passion, just like his burning youth.
"Ah--" With a sudden brake, the car stopped a few centimeters away from Zhuang Mingxu's legs, shocking everyone in the group and making them scream.
Zhuang Mingxu had a shaved head and wore sunglasses. He was chewing a grass leaf in his mouth. He glanced at him sideways without any fear, which made Ning Yuan sigh in boredom.
"You just deserve a beating." Wu Yue rolled his eyes at him. Seeing that several other cars had also stopped, he said to the team members who were watching the fun, "I just demonstrated to you. Next, each of you should contact the car you want to learn. You will master all the vehicles in three days."
"Yes!" A group of passionate young men looked at different vehicles with burning eyes, excitement evident in their eyes. As men, they could not resist the temptation brought by cars, and they could not wait to silently urge Wu Yue to hurry up.
Wu Yue smiled helplessly and said, "Everyone, disband!"
"Yes!" After the words fell, everyone ran towards the car and coach that they were interested in.
Zhuang Mingxu looked around at everyone and shouted to the man who was sitting on a rattan chair not far away with his legs crossed and squinting, "Qin Jin, there are not enough people on the off-road side, you go and give them some guidance."
Qin Jin yawned and stood up lazily, "Why don't you go down in person?"
"Why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?" Zhuang Mingxu crossed his arms.
"Tsk, you see his expectant look, does it look like he doesn't want to go?" Ning Yuan, who came over to drink some water, exposed him without hesitation. Meeting Qin Jin's gossipy gaze, he smiled and lowered his voice and said, "The last time he went back on vacation, the kid at home didn't recognize him."
Zhuang Mingxu's face turned dark and he looked at Ning Yuan coldly. Ning Yuan immediately took a few steps back, holding the mineral water bottle, to put some distance between them.
Qin Jin laughed and asked as he approached, "I heard you were contacting Lone Wolf?"
"How do you know?" Zhuang Mingxu looked up at him.
"Someone is looking for him like crazy, and someone above is keeping an eye on his movements."
After Qin Jin finished speaking, Zhuang Mingxu's face darkened and he scolded, "It never ends."
"After all, he's a veteran of several years. After retiring and returning to his hometown, he should be able to be assigned to a good unit, right?" Ning Yuan had worked with Lone Wolf several times and admired that man very much.
Zhuang Mingxu thought of the news he had received, sneered and did not answer, "I have asked someone to find him. Xiaoyi's family is not doing well recently, so I asked him to be a personal bodyguard to take care of him."
"I heard that... he can't speak?" Seeing that Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, Qin Jin took the initiative to say, "A former classmate of mine is a psychology expert. I recommend him to you. Ask his family to take him to see a doctor. This kind of thing is said to be quite troublesome."
"Thank you," Zhuang Mingxu said, turning his gaze to Ning Yuan, who was on strike to listen to gossip, and rolled up his sleeves, as if he was about to stand up and deal with him.
Ning Yuan ran away immediately when he saw it. His speed made the other students burst into laughter.
"You little bastards, if you laugh again, Black Lion will come and deal with you personally." Ning Yuan cursed at them and picked up a young man to teach him seriously.

The bell for the end of class rang in the classroom, and a teenager, who already had a stunning face in his teens, left the classroom while whispering to the people around him.
The girl walking by greeted him cheerfully, and the boy responded with a smile, his eyes lit up.
When we reached the school gate, the hunched old security guard looked at the newcomer and said with a smile, "Student Xu, is get out of class over?"
"Grandpa Liu" Xu Sa greeted him politely.
"Hey, your dad is here to pick you up after class. He's been waiting for you for a while." Old man Liu walked in a direction and pointed. There, a tall man stood in the crowd, like a green pine tree. One could tell at a glance that he was different.
"Dad!" Xu Sa called out, and the two of them went home together.
"What's wrong? Son, you look unhappy. Is it because dad didn't take you to the amusement park last week?" Father Xu had to carry out a temporary mission last week and broke his promise to his son. At this time, he was particularly humble and said, "Let's go together tomorrow. I have taken a special leave this time. Dad will take you to have fun."
Xu Sa shook his head and sighed, "A good friend of mine has dropped out of school. I heard he is seriously ill and I can't contact him."
"Is it the handsome kid named Lu?" Father Xu thought about Xu Sa's good friends and accurately located the person.
Xu Sa nodded and said, "I asked the teacher, but unfortunately the teacher only knew that he was sick and sent abroad for treatment. I don't know if I will be able to see him again in the future."
"Yes, as long as you remember each other, you will meet again." Father Xu comforted his son and took him to buy an ice cream that he was not allowed to eat normally. "Eat it secretly, don't let your mother see."
Xu Sa nodded happily and ate with relish, sticking out his tongue.
The next day, Mr. Xu took his son to the amusement park as he said.
After taking him on the roller coaster, pirate ship, and rapids, both of them were already chilled to the bone. However, looking at his son's excited red face, Father Xu was also very happy.
Turning around and following Xu Sa's wishes, the two of them entered the dark haunted house. Not long after they entered, Xu's father's cell phone rang. Xu Sa watched him answer the call, and an indescribable fear came over him.
The moment before hearing Xu's father say "I'll be there right away", Xu Sa quietly hid.
