Chapter 1654 The Power of the Great Array Super-Quality Illusion
On the edge of the mountainous area more than a hundred kilometers away from the Dingbian gathering place, a dense tide of corpses stretched as far as the eye could see, slowly moving toward the forest ahead.
A few kilometers in front of the corpse tide, there were four men in green standing by a small river, staring blankly ahead.
The river is not very wide, only a few dozen feet. The other side of the river seems to be a virgin forest, and there is no difference from the place where the two people are standing on the other side of the river.
Of course, this seemingly insignificant difference is only in the eyes of ordinary people, but in the eyes of the talented Hou Gongzi, the difference is huge.
Among the four men in green, the taller leading man is none other than Hou Mubai, the son of the city lord of the Panlong Mountain gathering place, and the other three are his subordinates.
Last night, Hou Mubai and his party drove the corpses to the Dingbian gathering place. What was frustrating was that there was no one in the Dingbian gathering place and they escaped completely.
Master Hou Mubai, who was originally preparing for a big fight, suddenly hit a ball of cotton with nowhere to focus, as if a punch he had been accumulating for a long time. He couldn't help but feel upset and furious.
Regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates, Mr. Hou insisted on going his own way and determined to catch all those who escaped from the Dingbian gathering place without leaving any future troubles!
Therefore, Hou Mubai left one of his subordinates waiting to lead the rear transport team, while the other four drove the corpses away and followed the clues left by the suspected migrating people.
After a long journey that lasted all night and half a day, Houmubai and the others finally followed and arrived at the river.
It was also along this river that all traces that could be traced disappeared...
On the other side of the river, there was also no trace of anyone passing by. What the four of them could see was dense virgin forest, as if everyone who had passed by here before had disappeared.
"Interesting, this is the first time I encountered such an interesting thing. I remember there were more than 30,000 people in the Dingbian gathering place, right? They disappeared without a trace before my eyes?"
Hou Mubai looked left and right, with an unbelievable look on his face.
At this time, a subordinate quickly spoke to persuade:
"Sir, our mission is to seize the military equipment at the Dingbian gathering place. As long as the equipment is obtained, the mission will be successfully completed.
Those people just ran away, which is nothing compared to the city lord's expansion plan."
Another subordinate also advised:
"Sir, why don't we guide the corpses behind us deeper into the forest, then turn off the guide, and leave the corpses to fend for themselves in the Baiyu Mountains.
After we go back and meet up with the transport team, we will escort the equipment back to Panlong City, so that the young master can go back and rest for a while after being out for so long."
"Um!"
Hou Mubai listened to the suggestions of his two subordinates, nodded and said:
"What you said makes sense. By the way, is there any news from Ada?
Judging by the time, the transportation team should have arrived last night, and should have finished loading the truck and be ready to return this morning. Ada should also come to inform us, right?"
A subordinate responded:
"There is no news. If Ada followed the route of the corpses, he wouldn't have gotten lost.
I guess there must be a delay on the transportation team's side, and the loading and unloading equipment has not been completed yet? If it is ready, Ada will definitely come over as soon as possible to inform the young master to evacuate."
Hou Mubai nodded and said to another subordinate:
"Ah'er, turn off the guide and quickly return to the Dingbian gathering place to see what's going on. It will take at most two hours at your speed.
If things go well, you can inform me when you return and let Ada stay there to assist the transport team."
"yes!"
The man in green named A'er responded, jumped up to the treetops, and quickly returned to the gathering place in Dingbian along the way he came.
Hou Mubai turned his head and ordered the remaining two subordinates:
"The corpses are coming soon. You two should cross the river first and lead the corpses to the forest on the other side of the river."
The remaining subordinates were stunned when they heard this and said in surprise:
"Wouldn't it be better to lead the corpses to the left and right on the spot? I don't know how deep the river is. If we lead the corpses to the other side, the leading corpses will have to fill the river."
Hou Mubai's eyes flashed coldly, and he said coldly:
"Do as I say, and I feel something weird about the woods on the other side of the river..."
The two subordinates looked at each other and said blankly:
"What's weird? Aren't they all the same forest?"
"Hehehe!"
Hou Mubai sneered, raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the river:
"Look carefully at the woods on the other side of the river, look at those trees, especially the branches and leaves of those trees. Is there any difference between the branches and leaves of the trees where we are standing now?"
The two subordinates followed Hou Mubai's fingers and couldn't see anything unusual after looking for a long time!
"Wow!"
At this moment, a natural wind blew through the forest, causing the leaves near the three of them to rustle.
One of Hou Mubai's subordinates suddenly shouted:
"Sir, I noticed something different."
"oh?"
Hou Mubai nodded and smiled:
"Tell me about it?"
The subordinate smiled and said:
"There was a wind in the woods just now, and the leaves on our side were swaying with the wind. But sir, look at the trees on the other side of the river, especially the leaves that didn't move at all. Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"
"Hahaha!"
Hou Mubai laughed and said:
"Do you think I'm looking for trouble now? Go ahead and lead the tide of corpses across the river to see what's weird on the other side."
"yes!"
After the two subordinates responded, they jumped across the river and stood on the other side of the river, waiting for the corpses to arrive.
Hou Mubai turned back and glanced at the approaching tide of corpses. After turning off the guide on his right hand, he jumped up to a big tree and sat down, quietly observing.
The group of corpses whizzed past under the big tree where Hou Mubai was, and rushed into the river, which was not very wide.
Ten minutes later, the river was filled with corpses. The first batch of wet zombies climbed up from the river and staggered after the two men in green.
The two men in green slowly backed away, then turned and ran away...
"What?"
At this moment, Hou Mubai, who was sitting on a branch, suddenly stood up and stared at the other side of the river with wide eyes, a look of disbelief on his face.
Because the two subordinates who jumped over the river suddenly disappeared while running, and no one could be seen?
Not only that, but the thousands of zombies that rushed up from the river also disappeared as if they suddenly passed through a door.
The zombies under the trees continued to rush into the river, and there were also zombies crawling out of the river, chasing the corpses in front of them and rushing into the primeval forest.
But I only saw people rushing in, but I couldn't see what happened after they rushed in. This is so strange!
At this time, in another corner across the river, a man in green suddenly rushed out from among the rocks. He looked left and right and then jumped directly in the direction of Hou Mubai.
While still in the air, the man in green shouted in horror:
"Sir! You won't believe what I saw on the other side of the river."
Hou Mubai opened his mouth wide, looked at the subordinate who jumped out from the stone, and said strangely:
"You? What did you see?"
The subordinate turned back and pointed to the other side of the river:
“Less than a hundred meters into the woods after crossing the river, I suddenly saw a desert with no one in sight.
As soon as I entered, I lost my way. After running for dozens of miles in a panic, I accidentally fell and suddenly found myself back by the river and saw the young master..."
Hou Mubai was stunned and said to himself:
"Is this an illusion? Did you just enter an illusion?"
