Chapter 310 Staying in the Same Place (+44)
Seeing that they were all awake, Ling Ran casually tossed the leaf in her hand onto the ground.
"Pick some flowers or leaves from where you are standing and eat them, otherwise you will be hallucinating again and slowly die in the hallucination."
Upon hearing this, the others hurriedly picked flowers and leaves, stuffing them into their mouths.
Pei Xiu chewed on a leaf and asked, "Sister, can you die in a hallucination? How do you die?"
"We'll take you into an illusion, make you believe that world is real, then arrange a car accident so you die in the illusion, and you'll die in reality too. Of course, if we want to destroy your spirit, we'll also arrange for the person you trust and are closest to to stab you in the illusion, causing you to die in agony."
"That's too cruel." Su Yimo was a little scared. "And it kills people completely without them even knowing it. They died without even understanding why."
"really."
Some people were still thinking about everything they had just experienced in their hallucinations, finding it all quite wonderful. Now they realize that it was all a trap designed to put them at ease.
"These flowers are the most terrifying. After all, they look like roadside wildflowers, without any signs of mutation. I never imagined that these flowers could be so dangerous. If it weren't for the adults, we might not have even made it to the end of this flower path before we were gone."
Gu Zijing thought about the scene just now. If he hadn't been a psychic and a psychologist before the apocalypse, and hadn't unconsciously set anchor points for himself in his life, he probably would have fallen for it too.
Even if he was concentrating very hard, this hallucination was completely impossible to guard against.
After everyone came to their senses, they were all a little scared.
"Let's go."
Ling Ran said something.
Her words put the others at ease.
With adults around, no matter how great the danger, it will only be a close call!
The group continued walking along the flower-lined path, this time with everyone's attention focused even more. However, a few people seemed to have gone a little overboard.
A moment later, Pei Xiu was about to speak: "Who?"
Then Zhou Hang asked, "What was that sound?"
Then came Chen Le and Su Yimo. The group of them were so startled that they completely distracted Gu Zijing and the others who had finally managed to concentrate.
Pei Yi felt a vein throbbing on his forehead and could no longer contain himself: "Can you guys shut up? I'm not scared by anything else, I'm about to be scared to death by you guys."
"Ahem." Pei Xiu said apologetically, "I'll try my best."
The others quickly made a zipping gesture over their mouths.
Finally, things quieted down.
In the mountains, you can only hear birdsong, occasionally accompanied by the calls of some unidentified creatures and the rustling of the wind.
The further they went, the darker it became. Shen Nianshen had to take out a flashlight from his spatial storage. The bright light illuminated the path ahead, which lessened everyone's fear.
I don't know how long I walked, but this flower-lined path seemed to be incredibly long, and it felt like no matter how far I walked, I could never see the end.
It wasn't until Gu Zijing checked the time that she spoke up: "Don't you think this road is too long? It's been almost two hours, and I feel like we've been standing still the whole time."
"Shall we make a mark?" Pei Yi suggested.
“It might not work,” Gu Zijing explained. “Because it’s a straight road, not a detour. We might be stuck in the same place, but it gives us the illusion of moving forward. But we can give it a try.”
As she spoke, Gu Zijing took out a hand cap she usually used to wipe her sweat from her pocket and tied it to an unidentified plant nearby.
"Let's walk for another half hour."
