I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

"How is it?" Xiao Yingyong asked impatiently as soon as he landed.

"Luckily, we're right at the edge of the woods, not far from the nearest mountain. Xiaozhuang, get the drone up and head in that direction. We need to get out before dark. Let's go without delay!"

After Qin Zhong came down, he arranged for Zhang Xiaozhuang to take off the drone and explore the way in the direction he said.

When everyone heard Qin Zhong's words, they felt relieved and hurried on their way. They really didn't want to stay in this strange and scary forest for even a second.

However, things were not that simple. After walking for about ten minutes, Zhang Xiaozhuang suddenly called a halt, saying that they had inexplicably changed direction again, and not only did they not get closer to the mountain over there, but they were getting further away.

The mountain in the distance looked like a mirage. No matter how hard they pushed forward, they could not get close to it. This discovery made everyone a little confused. They were clearly heading in the right direction, so why did it always turn automatically?

"What should we do? Are we trapped in a ghost wall?" Gou Xiaoxiao was so scared that she almost hid in Shi Dajin's arms, and said superstitiously.

"Even if you encounter a mysterious wall, it doesn't mean you can't get out, right?"

Qin Zhong pondered for a moment and continued, "Perhaps what we see and hear may not necessarily be true, but I don't believe it can deceive all five senses. At least most of what I perceive is real."

"Do you have a solution?" Wang Boshen asked hurriedly. He had insisted before that everything was fine, but now the facts have proved that there seems to be some problem here.

"I have a stupid idea, but I need to test it." Qin Zhong pondered for a while, looked at the surrounding environment, and said.

Then, he randomly chose two large trees as the starting and ending points, and walked forward step by step. After a while, he returned with a look of relief on his face: "Sure enough, there was a problem. I walked about three more steps."

"You mean, the distance in this forest is distorted?" Wang Boshen was the first to react and asked.

"No, if it were that simple, we would have noticed something was wrong long ago. I suspect there's a force underground that's distorting our sense of direction. We think we're walking in a straight line, but we're actually taking a curve. If we don't constantly check our direction and make adjustments, the deviation will only get greater and greater, and we'll never be able to leave this forest."

Qin Zhong touched his chin and explained that he was shocked by this power. The two trees were only thirty-five steps apart, but he had to take three more steps. This was because he had been looking at the target all the time. Otherwise, he didn't know how far he would have deviated.

"Look, Xiaozhuang, lower the drone and fly close to the treetops. Everyone should look at the drone!"

After saying that, Qin Zhong directly summoned Wukong again, made Wukong bigger, and let Xiaozhuang ride directly on its neck. In this way, he didn't have to walk, he just needed to control the drone well.

This was the most effective solution Qin Zhong could think of out of desperation. Seeing that it was getting dark, he was helpless.

Everyone nodded quickly after hearing this. After Qin Zhong's comfort, Wukong finally reluctantly carried Zhang Xiaozhuang.

As a result, the accident still happened. Zhang Xiaozhuang, who was sitting on Wukong's shoulder, was so scared that his body was shaking like a sieve and he was unable to operate the drone at all, which made Qin Zhong speechless.

In the end, there was no other way, so Xiao Yingyong suggested that she operate the drone. Fortunately, it was not difficult to operate. Xiao Yingyong was also very smart. With Zhang Xiaozhuang's patient teaching, she learned the general operation in just a few minutes.

Moreover, Xiao Yingyong was the first person to come into contact with Wukong besides Qin Zhong, so Wukong was also easy to accept.

……

After wasting most of the time, the team finally set off again. As it was getting dark, in order to avoid a repeat of yesterday's incident where they fell asleep without realizing it, Qin Zhong asked everyone to speed up and leave the woods first.

This time the mountain was finally getting closer and closer. Half an hour later, this strange forest was left behind. Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. After arriving here, everyone finally felt that they could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wang Boshen walked up to Qin Zhong and said anxiously, "Qin Zhong, it's too dangerous in the mountains at night. Let's find a place to rest!"

"Brother Qin, come and take a look! This looks like a building!"

At this moment, Xiao Yingyong, who was sitting on Wukong's shoulder, jumped down from Wukong's shoulder, jumped to Qin Zhong's side, and handed over the drone operating console in her hand.

Qin Zhong and Wang Boshen leaned over, and sure enough, on the screen of the console, they could vaguely see that there seemed to be a bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain not far away, and deep in the bamboo forest, there seemed to be a magnificent building.

Although it was dark and the view was not very clear, Qin Zhong and Wang Boshen looked at each other and wondered why these buildings looked a bit retro and not like modern buildings.

"Comrade Lieutenant, why are there retro buildings in this mountain? Are there any tourist attractions here?"

"No... no!"

Listening to Wang Boshen's hesitant words, Qin Zhong was speechless. This was Lu Dai. He and his men trusted him and followed him into the mountains. They had agreed that they would soon see the station and then go directly to the military base. But in the end...

There have been so many unexpected things along the way!

Qin Zhong pondered for a moment and ordered, "Xiaoying, let the drone get closer and take a look!"

"Okay!" Xiao Yingyong operated the drone and quickly headed towards the building, but suddenly, the drone's operating screen seemed to be disturbed by something, and countless wavy ripples appeared, and the screen became blurred.

"What's going on!" Seeing this scene, Xiao Yingyong immediately panicked. She only knew some basic operations. When faced with such a problem, she could only look at Zhang Xiaozhuang beside her.

By the time Zhang Xiaozhuang took over the drone, the screen was already covered with snowflakes, and the slight buzzing sound of the drone in the distance had disappeared.

"The drone crashed?" Qin Zhong raised his eyebrows. How could it be such a coincidence? It was fine all the way, but it crashed as soon as it approached this area. Isn't it a bit too coincidental?

Zhang Xiaozhuang worked on the console for a while and said helplessly, "There's nothing we can do. It must have been interfered with or hit something and crashed. We can only go find it and see if it can be repaired."

Qin Zhong found a big tree, climbed up, stood on the top of the tree and looked into the distance, taking in the scenery in the distance.

In the distance, a towering mountain stretches across the sky, with undulating hills like a sleeping dragon. At the foot of the mountain, a lush bamboo forest is like a green ocean. The bamboo leaves sway gently in the wind, making a rustling sound.

Deep in the bamboo forest, a group of buildings can be vaguely seen. Qin Zhong looked carefully and could vaguely see the flying eaves, carved beams and painted buildings. It was dark at night, and the outlines of the buildings were looming in the night, as if gently shrouded by a layer of gauze.

Looking at this group of buildings, Qin Zhong felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He could feel that there seemed to be something in that group of buildings, as if calling him to explore.
