Chapter 104


    Whenever Oliver walked a distance of three miles, two identical holes would appear in front of him.


    After a moment’s hesitation, he took to choosing the hole on the right side every time.


    The same scene urred a number of times.


    It didn’t seem like he was trekking uphill, yet how could he walk a few miles without seeing the end of


    the road on a t road?


    Oliver stared at the intersection for a while, but it was neither a physical object nor a mist.


    Oliver could still identify Enchanting Fog, but there was no indication of what it was this time.


    He was powerless to identify.


    The luminous pearl above his head seemed to increase by one each time he covered a distance of


    nine feet ten inches. The process was seemingly endless.


    Oliver was stunned. It seemed to be Enchanting Cave, which was more powerful than Enchanting Fog.


    Since the cave was filled with invisible air, his eyes couldn’t identify it. He mused, “What should I do?”


    Gunther and his team still had not responded. Oliver was filled with instant regret when he thought of


    Hailey, the one he was most concerned about. It had been a close call thest time something simr


    happened.


    Wayne instantly knew what was going through Oliver’s mind from the look on his face. He immediately


    took a walkie-talkie to contact Louis, but there was no signal.


    “Let’s head back first. We’ll find them and then move out together,” Oliver said unhesitatingly,


    instructing Wayne and the


    others to turn around.


    Sienna gently squeezed Oliver’s hand and whispered, “Don’t worry. She’ll be fine!”


    The four of them turned around and walked back. They constantly chose the left hole during their return


    trip, unlike before.


    However, Oliver’s heart sank the further they got, as the road seemed to stretch on forever. He could


    not seem to return to the original point of departure, no matter what.

    When they first entered the cave, everything was fine, but they were now stuck and unable to leave.


    Wayne and Simon marked the passage with symbols to prevent confusion, but soon enough, they


    found that all the holes were marked.


    “Oh no! All the holes have marks. Everything looks the same now.” Wayne’s face darkened, and he


    began feeling queasy.


    Simon reached for the walkie-talkie and tested it out. There was a bend around 25 feet away where the


    signal became poor due to obstruction by a stone.


    They still had not found their way after traversing for some time. Simon bit out fiercely, “Mr. Eastwood,


    why don’t we dig out the luminous pearls above our heads after taking a step? I’m certain we’ll find our


    way after that!”


    Oliver stared at the luminous pearl above his head for a while and then denied it. “No, these luminous


    pearls are connected to the mechanism. It will be a big problem if they are dug out!”


    The results of the visual identification sent chills down Oliver’s spine. If they dug out the luminous pearl,


    it would trigger the traps and release a powerful mutant beast that they couldn’t imagine!


    Oliver had a strong hunch that disaster would befall them if they were to tamper with the luminous


    pearl.


    It wasn’t until he abandoned the idea of moving the luminous pearl that the sense of danger


    disappeared.


    After walking for some time, Oliver uttered with certainty, “We’re in abyrinth. It has been enhanced


    with the same array as the fog outside!”


    Both Wayne and Simon were dumbfounded. For modern-day soldiers like them, things like arrays or


    mutants were too iprehensible.


    Their trip with Oliver was an eye-opener, as experiencing such things was beyond imagination.


    Sienna was the only one who looked around curiously without any signs of panic. Instead, she said to


    Oliver, “Oliver, this ce is really interesting.”


    “Interesting?” Oliver couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Sienna couldn’t sense how cruel their situation was.


    This was a lethal ce that could hold one captive till death. Their group still had not reached the stage


    where they had to fight for food and water. When that time came, humanity would be stripped down to


    its baser instincts, and it would be no surprise if cannibalism took ce.


    However, Sienna swore against cannibalism even if it ever came to that.


    “Everyone, stop walking. Sit down and rest for a while. Let me think about it!” Oliver sat down and told


    everyone.


    Sienna sat next to him without saying anything. She leaned her head into Oliver’s embrace and closed


    her eyes to sleep. For some reason, recently, she had always felt drowsy every time she sat down.


    Oliver stroked her hair while thinking about the maze path, which his eyes couldn’t identify.


    When he tried to identify Enchanting Fog before that, his eyes could at least see the fog so as to


    identify it.


    However, thebyrinth path was filled with transparent and colorless air in the hollow maze road, so it


    was impossible to identify.


    “What should I do?” he wondered.


    Oliver looked at the empty pathway in a daze. When he was in a daze, a thought crossed his mind, and


    an image appeared.


    It was an image of countless lines intersecting each other. There were manyplicated lines. In the


    image, there was one ce with a red bright spot, and two other ces showed several green bright


    spots, one with five bright spots and one with four bright spots.


    The ce with five bright spots was moving slowly, and the one with four bright spots was fixed and not


    moving.


    Oliver was stunned for a while and suddenly came to a realization. “Are these bright spots us?” he


    mused.


    “Wayne, walk forward a few feet.” Oliver hurriedly asked Wayne to move.


    Wayne immediately walked several feet forward before stopping to ask Oliver, “Mr. Eastwood, do í still


    need to go forward?”


    Oliver could see clearly in his mind that one of the green dots moved as Wayne moved. As soon as he


    stopped, the bright green spot also stopped.


    There was no doubt that those four green dots were the four of them, and those five green dots in


    another ce were Gunther, Hailey, and the others.


    “But what’s that bright red spot?” he pondered.


    Although he didn’t know what the red spot was, it had to be very important.


    Oliver pondered and suddenly stood up again. He pulled Sienna up and said to Wayne and Simon,


    “Let’s go. I’ll lead the way. Follow me.”


    At that moment, Oliver stopped looking at the road. Instead, he followed the image in his mind and


    walked toward Gunther’s group of five bright green spots first.


    He couldn’t see the correct way at all if he looked at the road. All the intersections and pathways looked


    the same to his eyes, so he only walked ording to the distance in his mind.


    If the distance between him and the five bright green spots increased, then he would not go that way. If


    their distance decreased, then he would continue on.


    In less than ten minutes, they were much closer to the five bright green spots. They were already very


    close after another dozen minutes had passed.


    Before walking 33 feet away, Oliver heard footsteps. He immediately stopped and waved his hand to


    signal everyone to stop. Then, he listened carefully with his ears.


    Wayne and Simon stopped next to the stone wall and listened carefully. As expected, they heard


    footsteps. After a while, Wayne touched the handgun with one hand and shouted, “Louis, is that you?”
