“Cough cough cough …”

Ba Tu and the others were all lying on the ground and coughing violently. Soon, they even spat out their meals the other night. Jeddah even covered the head of the ladle that had been opened and said with a bloody face, “What exactly happened? Why did we eat so much sand? Who hit my head?”

“No one hit you. You ran too fast and fell on your own …”

Chen Guangda looked at him seriously, but in reality, it was because he was too anxious that he used a stone to open a ladle for Jeddah. However, Ba Tu wiped the filth off his mouth and asked, “Aren’t we in the desert? Why did we suddenly return to this place? We passed by this gravel beach more than two hours ago!”

“We encountered the Black Cloud Demon Cave. The desert and even the torrential rain were all hallucinations …”

Chen Guangda sighed helplessly, but he stunned Ba Tu and the others. Lin Na immediately stood up and touched her hair, “It’s really an illusion. My hair doesn’t have any moisture, but we’re already careful enough. Why would we go into a trap?”

“When the Black Cloud Demon Cave erupted, it blew out a lot of sand. There was something wrong with the sand …”

Chen Guangda said with a gloomy expression, “However, sand is only a medium. The true calamity is still the desire in our hearts. Although we warned ourselves not to be greedy for treasures and beautiful women, we still have a great thirst for water. So we saw the oasis and the clear pond!”

“Oh! I understand. We treat sand as water, that’s why we ate so much sand …”

Jeddah suddenly shouted, but Qiqig rolled his eyes at him and said disdainfully, “You’re really slow. Brother Wen said it was an illusion, but to put it bluntly, the demon cave will show you what you want to see, just like the group of people we met. They must be thinking about gold, silver, and jewelry!”

Chen Guangda immediately nodded his head and said, “That’s right! Those people are all thinking of becoming rich overnight, so what they see is completely different from ours. But in the end, the greedier their hearts are, the faster they die!”

“Fortunately, we inoculated ourselves before we left. Otherwise, we would have jumped into the demon cave just like those …”

Wang Ran patted his chest with lingering fear. The others were also scared, but Lin Na asked suspiciously, “Why is the Black Cloud Demon Cave creating illusions for us? Could it be that it’s trying to lure us over and feed us to the living corpses?”

“I don’t know why, but it’s definitely not feeding the living corpse …”

Chen Guangda slowly lit up a cigarette and said with an ugly expression, “Because there are countless living corpses in the Black Cloud Demon Cave, no matter how many people go down, it is not enough to feed them. Moreover, the ages of those living corpses are very large, and they have probably been around for more than a thousand years since ancient times!”

“Over a thousand years? Could it be that there were living corpses over a thousand years ago?”

Ba Tu and the others all stood up in shock. However, Wang Ran said, “If the pit we saw wasn’t an illusion, the living corpse would have existed for thousands of years. The legend of the Black Cloud Demon Cave itself is very old, but the corpse poison inside hasn’t spread out.”

“Something’s wrong …”

Lin Na looked at Chen Guangda with a puzzled expression and said, “Didn’t I give you a military map before? It clearly recorded the place where the Black Cloud Demon Cave appeared in recent years. I remember that one of them was on this gravel beach, but why did the Black Cloud Demon Cave appear twice in the same place?”

“I was just thinking about this question, but we don’t even know what the Black Cloud Demon Cave is. Even if we want to break our heads, I’m afraid we won’t be able to find the answer …”

Chen Guangda shook his head helplessly. Although he had seen the Black Cloud Demon Cave with his own eyes, the Black Cloud Demon Cave was becoming more and more mysterious in his eyes. However, Wang Ran sighed and said, “No matter what it is, let’s not go near this damned place anymore. Good luck will not always accompany us!”

“Let’s clear the way. We need to get to Lower Sand City before dark …”

Chen Guangda rode on his horse and clapped his hands. Everyone hurriedly mounted their horses and didn’t dare to stay any longer. However, they had picked up a big bargain this time. Not only did those greedy unlucky bastards leave behind dozens of good horses, they even had a few carts of supplies, which allowed them to make quite a fortune.

“Brother Zhao!”

Wang Ran suddenly chased after Chen Guangda on horseback and walked side by side with him. His eyes lit up as he said, “I sincerely thank you for saving me. However, how did you manage to achieve nothing? Beauty’s money or status and power, you must have a goal in mind. Otherwise, you would have seen more illusions, just like I did in the end!”

“Even if it’s an illusion, it should still be reasonable. It can’t produce a bunch of beauties for no reason …”

Chen Guangda smiled very freely and said, ‘”Don’t think of me as a sage. I’m greedy and lecherous. However, my appetite is too great. I can’t even satisfy the Golden Mountain and Silver Mountain. I’ve seen too many beautiful women. Therefore, the Black Cloud Demon Cave can’t do anything to me. I can only make a small broken lake to deceive me into swimming. In the end, a bunch of unlucky ghosts turned yellow!”

“Brother! You are definitely not a simple person. With your mentality, no one can compare to you …”

Wang Ran stared at Chen Guangda in shock and admiration, and then muttered, “Actually, I had already discovered that it was an illusion, but the Black Cloud Demon Cave suddenly brought me back. It was the night my fiance abandoned me with his mistress, so I was dumbfounded. I couldn’t tell if it was a reality or an illusion at all!”

“Your fiance looks a bit like Ba Tu …”

Chen Guangda smiled playfully. Wang Ran’s entire body trembled as she blushed unconsciously, but she quickly complained, “Do you think I’m cheap? Not only did my fiance abandon me, he also swept away all my money, but I still can’t forget him. So the moment I saw Ba Tu, I couldn’t help but fake it for the first time in my life, because they look so much alike!”

“This means that you are actually a good person. Treasure Ba Tu well. That idiot is not bad …”

Chen Guangda smiled and raised his eyebrows. Wang Ran’s face turned red again. He turned around and looked at Ba Tu shyly. After a while, he said, “Brother Zhao! I know that you didn’t go to Desert City just for revenge. If you have other things to do, I can take you to see our boss. You can cooperate with each other!”

“It’s fine to meet him, but I have to listen to other people’s opinions first. I still have a fierce general in Lower Sand City …”

Chen Guangda’s eyes suddenly became somewhat hot. Xiaowei’s beautiful figure had already appeared in his heart. However, when he thought of Xiaowei’s attitude towards him, he felt a burst of anger in his heart. Xiaowei seemed to only want to be his confidante, not his lover at all.

…

“Look! That’s Lower Sand City …”

In the evening, the group finally arrived near Lower Sand City. From afar, they saw a city with many buildings. It shone in the afterglow of the setting sun. However, this was also a very strange city. Half of it was brightly lit, the other half was pitch black. There were even many houses buried deep in yellow sand.

“Heavens! Has the desertification in this place become so serious …”

Qiqig glared at him in shock, but Wang Ran said, “The desert is at least half larger than before. This is the name of Lower Sand City. If it weren’t for the fact that there were people living there all the time, the entire city would have been buried by yellow sand!”

“So what if it’s half black and half bright …”

Ba Tu curiously stretched out his head. The black and white city was like half heaven and half hell, but Wang Ran said unhappily, “Idiot!” I told you that half of Lower Sand City has a magnetic field, and the half without lights is a magnetic field, so you must remember the demarcation line clearly. If someone attacks you with a gun, hurry up and run towards the dark side! ”

“This place is really interesting. A combination of ancient and modern …”

Chen Guangda shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. This was the first time he had seen such a strange place. Wang Ran also nodded and said, “No way! Don’t bother about this damn place. Sometimes, you forget about the metal objects on your body. Once you enter the magnetic field, you can even tear off your underwear. Many of those buildings are dangerous buildings. The steel bars inside are already twisted!”

“Is it possible that only the poor live in a dark place …”

Qiqi Ge grabbed his chin full of curiosity. However, Wang Ran shook his head and said, “Of course not. In fact, most people live on the magnetic field side. After all, there are more or less enemies in this place. No one wants to sleep until midnight when they are shot dead or blown into the west by a grenade. Therefore, the lighted side is basically a place for entertainment. Everyone goes back to sleep on the other side after having fun!”

“Why is there no city wall in this place …”

Chen Guangda suddenly discovered something very strange. The entire Lower Sand City did not even have an iron fence. It was completely open like a streak. However, Wang Ran said, “The separatist forces in this place do not belong to a single person, so no one has the time to repair the city walls. Besides, there are very few living corpses here, and messy monsters are also very rare!”

“I heard that it’s very popular here to go out for supplies, right?”

Chen Guangda nodded his head and looked at Wang Ran. Wang Ran said, “There is still a medium-sized city more than 30 kilometers away from Lower Sand City. Those who are courageous will go there to get supplies. However, there are endless living corpses in that place. If they are not careful, they will lose their lives!”

“Let’s go! Let’s go to the gay bar first …”

Chen Guangda suddenly slapped his horse’s butt heavily and galloped towards Downsand City. Downsand City was like an unrestrained girl, allowing them to easily enter, immediately giving them an unprecedented feeling of peculiarity.
