Chapter 223 Roadside Wire Tower [Request Subscription]
The fierce sun shines on barren land, with low mountain peaks in the distance and sparse and dead grass in the vicinity. It is not known how long it has not been nourished by rainwater, and the vitality withers with the land. There were two cars in the front and rear that drove through the mud lanes, lifting up large tracts of mud and dust.
Gu Jun, Catherine and others have been driving in the desert of western Australia for more than three hours.
From the absence of human traces except on the roads, to the gradual emergence of wire towers by the roadside, from the mud track to the asphalt road.
GPS restored the signal, and they were only 10 kilometers away from Wharton Town, which was built not far from a crossroads.
“It would be nice if our people had this‘ car '...” On the way, Peacock sent out this sentiment many times, Mo Qing was already thinking about the battle plan after the car, if there was a car, how could you care about the Rangers of the Osalans?
Before they left, they bought a walkie-talkie set in two cars at the gas station convenience store and just talked.
“Nightmares, we're almost there.” At this point, Catherine said, "then turn left at the next intersection. ”
“OK.” Gu Jun answered, looking at the environment outside, the trees grew more and more dense, just...
He suddenly felt a little strange, standing dozens of meters high on the side of the road, as if he'd seen the tower before, just before.
Now anything unusual needs to be taken care of. Gu Jun frowned and asked: "Catherine, look at the wire tower in front. Do you think you just saw it? ”
“What?” Catherine wondered from the walkie-talkie, “Dude, every wire tower is different. ”
“Maybe, maybe.” Gu Jun was still watching until he drove over with this Chevrolet and threw the tower behind him.
“Damn signal, no more.” Catherine suddenly cursed and the GPS signal went off again, "she complained.“ See how remote this place is. I haven't been back in over a decade, and it looks like nothing's changed. There's only one supermarket in town! ”
Gu Jun's eyebrows are even more wrinkled. No, it doesn't seem to be this relationship...
He looked in the rear mirror of the car at the gold column and water jade in the rear row and asked, "Do you feel that? Doesn't the space seem normal here? ”
The native of Golden Column, Gussels-King, translated, Sells himself could not understand: “Why do you say that?” The golden columns, the water poles, the peacocks in the other car, they don't really understand either, but a large part of their attention is on sightseeing.
They say they don't feel it… they just know that Nightmares are the most intelligent and powerful people here.
The car drove forward for a while. Gu Jun suddenly glanced at the far end of the straight road and another wire tower appeared.
“Look!” He sinks, “the tower, just like it was. ”
This time he can almost be sure that, although the towers tend to look the same, at this angle, the wires are pulling, and he's right.
He glanced at the navigation screen where he couldn't find the signal, and the phone was gone, and his mind sank.
“This wire tower, we've passed it five times in a row.” Gu Jun recalled just now, five times.
“Dude...” Katherine wondered, "Aren't you a little... nervous? ”
Gu Jun also thought about this possibility, is there a mental problem? Illusions?
Unlike hallucinations, illusions are perceptions of distortions of objective things, especially in psychological states of fear, tension and expectation. Normal people also have illusions, but are immediately aware of them; patients can see the tubing as a serpent sucking blood. If we go any further, we'll be delirious.
“You know, after hours of driving, people get tired.” Catherine said, "I see weird things, and I have experience with them. ”
Are these wire towers his illusion?
Between thoughts, the car once again passed by the tower, continuing forward at speeds of more than 70 kilometres an hour.
Gu Jun also hopes that it is only his own illusion, because this is a disturbing point in time... Last night the Bureau received the "Gu Jun” dream, if now there is something strange in Wharton Town... he does not consider the two events to be different. But is that an illusion?
“We've been driving for eight minutes now.” He asked, "What about the left corner you said? ”
“Uh...” Catherine said a little bit at the time, and Tom felt weird: “With that navigational message, we should have been at that junction a long time ago. ”
Gu Jun's eyes were suddenly agitated again. There was a complex agitation in his mind. It was the tower of electricity again, and it appeared again.
Though his mental erosion dropped to 21.68%, he was still more agitated than ever before, and he could barely resist a punch on the dashboard.
“Look at that.” He breathed coarsely, and the space was distorted, and his mind was being distorted.
“Damn...” Katherine scolded, “as if it were really the tower of electricity, as were the weeds next to it.” Now even she can see, Peacock, Ink Green, the five earth vagabonds, all perceived.
It is not known when the two cars appear to have entered a continuous cycle of roads.
“Stop first.” Gu Jun sighed that what happened here and what happened at the NASA headquarters could never have been a coincidence.
He had already been struck by a dangerous feeling of crisis... he thought he would have had time to slowly investigate and layout, work with Wu Shiyu to identify unsuspecting people and suspects, and use the other two dreams... to find out the traitors and figure out what was going on with the earth vagabonds.
But now, it doesn't seem to be the time.
If there is a time bomb, it has entered the explosion countdown.
“Why?” Gu Jun was confused. Why now? What's so special about this time? Why is the insurgency in such a hurry?
All of a sudden, he remembers a situation that Salt Rain said: "If Xiang reaches the fifth secretary and is said to be almost finished.” After completing the fifth secretary, with Wang Ruoxiang and the urgency of the archives and bureau, she will surely be the pioneer in unlocking the sixth secretary content...
Traitors don't want this to happen? He was stuck in his throat, hidden some thoughts, but not clear enough.
It's like knowing there's a knife coming, even knowing it's coming, but not knowing which direction it's coming from.
Meanwhile, two cars stopped at the side of the road, just over a dozen metres from the tower.
They all walked out of the car, five ordinary people were suspicious, five earth vagabonds were serious, and the peacock asked the nightmarer, "Shall we go and see? ”
“Wait a minute.” Catherine's a little nervous. Peacock's past equals hers. “Why don't we take a step back and see if we can get back? ”
