The blazing sun shone down on the barren land. There were low hills in the distance and the nearby vegetation was sparse and wilted. It was hard to tell how long it had been since the land was nourished by rain, the life force had withered along with the land. Two cars, one in front and one behind, drove through the muddy road, raising a large amount of mud and dust.
Gu Jun, Kathlyn and the rest had been driving these two cars for about 3 hours in the desert of Western Australia.
There was no sign of human activity other than the road. Then the transmission tower appeared by the roadside and they turned from the muddy road to the asphalt road.
According to the GPS, they were only 10 km away from Warburton, the small town was built not far from a junction.
"If only our people had this kind of 'car' …" Along the way, Peacock sighed many times. Malachite was already thinking about the battle plan after they had a car. If they had a car, they wouldn't have to worry about the Ossarian cavalry.
Before they departed, they bought a set of walkie-talkies from the gas station and installed them in the cars.
"Nightmare Man, we're almost there." Kathlyn said, "We'll need to turn left at the next junction."
"Okay." Gu Jun nodded. He studied the surroundings, the trees were getting denser and denser but …
He suddenly felt something was off. There was a transmission tower about 10 metres tall standing by the roadside. He felt like he had seen this tower before, just a few moments ago.
He had to pay attention to any unusual situation. Gu Jun asked with a frown, "Kathlyn, pay attention to the transmission tower before us, do you feel like you've seen it before?"
"What?" Kathlyn's confused voice came from the walkie-talkie, "Brother, every transmission tower looks the same."
"Perhaps, perhaps." Gu Jun was still looking at it until the Chevrolet drove past and the transmission tower was left behind.
"Damn this stupid car, the GPS is broken again." Catherine suddenly cursed. The GPS navigation had failed, and she found that there was no signal on her phone again. It was one disaster after another. She complained, "See, how remote this place is. I haven't been back for more than ten years, but it looks like nothing has changed. There's only one supermarket in the entire town! "
Gu Jun frowned even more. No, the GPS navigation of the car he was driving was also broken. How could two cars break down at the same time …
He looked at Jin Zhuzi and Shuiyu from the rearview mirror and asked, "Do you feel anything? The space here doesn't seem normal. "
The original body of the Golden Pillar, Geselles Wong, acted as the interpreter. Saers himself did not understand. "Why do you say that?" Gold, Aquamarine and Peacock in the other carriage were confused as well. Actually, most of their attention was on sightseeing.
They all said they did not feel anything … but they knew the nightmare man had the strongest and most sensitive mental power among them.
After driving for a while, Gu Jun's eyes suddenly narrowed. At the far end of the straight road, there was another transmission tower.
"Look!" He said darkly, "That transmission tower, it looks exactly like the one we saw earlier."
This time he could confirm it. Even though the transmission towers usually looked the same, the angle and the way the wires were pulled, he was not mistaken.
The GPS had failed and there was no signal on the phone. His heart sank.
"We've passed this transmission tower 5 times already." Gu Jun thought back.
"Brother …" Kathlyn said with suspicion, "Are you feeling a little … nervous?"
Gu Jun considered this possibility as well. Was there something wrong with his mind? Was it an illusion?
Illusion was different from illusion, it was a distorted perception of objective reality, especially when one was in a state of fear, nervousness and anticipation. A normal person would experience an illusion but they would realize it immediately; the patient would see the tube as a blood-sucking snake. Any further and it would become a hallucination.
"You know, people will get tired after driving for hours." Kathlyn said, "You will see strange things, I have experience in that."
These transmission towers, was it his illusion?
As he thought about it, the car drove past the transmission tower again and continued to move forward at 70 kilometers per hour.
Gu Jun also hoped that it was just an illusion because the timing was unsettling … Last night, Phecda had received a dream from 'Gu Jun'. If something strange had happened in Warton … Gu Jun did not think that the two incidents were separate incidents. But was it really an illusion?
"We've been driving for 8 minutes, right?" he asked. "What about the left turn that you mentioned?"
"Er …" Kathlyn was stumped. Tom was confused as well. "Based on the GPS, we should have reached that junction a long time ago."
Gu Jun's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a complicated agitation surged in his heart. It was that transmission tower again.
Even though his mental corruption rate had dropped to 21.68 percent, he was still more agitated than before. This time, he almost punched the dashboard.
"Look." Gu Jun breathed raggedly. The space around him was twisted, and so was his mind.
"Damn it …" Kathlyn cursed in a daze. "It really seems to be that transmission tower. The weeds next to it are the same." Now that even she had noticed it, Peacock, Malachite, and the other five land's travellers had also noticed it.
They had no idea when it started, but the two cars appeared to have entered an endless loop.
"Let's stop for now." Gu Jun sighed. What happened here and what happened at Phecda's headquarters could not be a coincidence.
Gu Jun's heart was gripped by a sense of danger … He thought there would be time for him to slowly investigate and set up his plan. He would work with Wu Shiyu to find the innocent and the suspect, and then he would use the other two sweet dreams … to uncover the traitors and to get to the bottom of the land's travellers.
But now it seemed like there was no time for that.
If there was a ticking time bomb, it was already in the countdown to explode.
"Why?" Gu Jun's mind was a mess. Why now? What was so special about this timing? Why were the rebels in such a hurry?
Suddenly, he was reminded of something Dirty-minded Yu had told him, "Ruoxiang has reached the fifth chapter and according to rumors, she is almost done." Once she finished the fifth chapter, with Wang Ruoxiang and Phecda's urgency, she would be the first to unravel the sixth chapter …
The traitors did not want that to happen? Gu Jun felt like there was a fishbone stuck in his throat. He had an idea but it was not clear enough.
It was like knowing that a knife was about to stab him, or even knowing that it was stabbing right in front of his eyes, but not knowing from which direction it was coming.
At the same time, two cars stopped by the roadside, they were about 10 metres away from the transmission tower.
They got out of the car. The 5 normal people were confused while the 5 land's travellers were serious. Peacock turned to ask the nightmare man, "Shall we go over to take a look?"
"Wait a minute." Kathlyn was nervous. Peacock going over meant she was going over. "Why don't we retreat for a while and see if we can turn back?"
