Chapter 1309 Hallucination (1/2)
It was another hour before Li Du's mind was almost clear again.
He and Sophie sat side by side on a stone, leaning on Ah Ow and Ali, who squatted behind. Ah Meow snuggled up in their arms and helped to keep both of them warm.
Ah Ow tried to move a little and Li Du said without any energy, ”Don't move, that's a good kid, let Dad lean and rest for a while, OK?”
”Oww…” Ah Ow let out a muffled howl.
Steve staggered over. A bodyguard wanted to help him, but he waved the man away, relying on his own strength to walk to Li Du's side.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please clickfor visiting.
”It's a trap,” he said gloomily.
Li Du rubbed his face and said, ”Damn, who was it that told me the villagers here are very reliable, kind and honest? They're using some kind of damn hallucinogen on us!”
Brother Wolf explained the matter. They were set up by someone. What Li Du and the others saw was not real. The vision of tentacles pulling the man into the fog was all an illusion.
According to Brother Wolf's guess, this kind of hallucinogen has strong volatile properties. It was spread in the car, so once the passengers traveled in the car for a while, the hallucinogen would begin to show its effect, and the afflicted people would have hallucinations.
Brother Wolf was the first to guess this. It occurred to him when Li Du asked why he did not see the tentacles while Li Du clearly did.
Brother Wolf really did not see it. Because of the fog, he could not see what was entangling the deer, but it certainly wasn't the so-called red-eyed tentacle.
He wasn't sure what was going on, so instead of speaking out, he observed the team.
He noticed that many people saw the tentacles, but some did not. He and a group of his comrades did not see them, and some of Steve's and the Ford brothers' bodyguards didn't either.
He then asked the bodyguards if they had received anti-hallucination training while serving in the army, and he got a positive answer, so he knew what was going on.
In modern military interrogations, hallucinogens were a commonly used drug, so Special Forces and elite counterterrorism personnel received anti-hallucinogenic training programs as part of their counter-interrogation training.
The training was simple: they were given a constant dose of psychedelic drugs to make them eventually immune. This time, they got the same dose as everyone else but were not affected.
Li Du and the others were miserable. The hallucinogen affected all their sense organs. At first, they were irritable, and then gradually they would see an illusion and feel confused.
Brother Wolf was worried about what they would do when they were in this condition. After all, some of them had guns. Therefore, he teamed up with a group of people who were not affected and knocked everyone else unconscious or tied them up until the harmful effects had passed.
After dealing with the crowd, they made a pretense that the bodyguards got into a fight and ended up on the ground or in their cars.
In this case, the culprit has been following them from outside. Those who led them into this situation finally made their move. They entered the ambush that Brother Wolf set up. The gunfire that Li Du heard was Brother Wolf and the others fighting against them.
The hands under the table had been arrested, but not all were caught. Someone realized the situation was not good and fled. Brother Wolf and the others did not dare to chase after them because they had a group of unconscious people on their hands. Their main duty was to protect their boss.
However, after a fight, they still achieved something. They caught 15 people, who were now all tied up and thrown beside the swamp.
Brother Wolf went closer to check the identity of these people. There was the guide Andrey, and the ”honest” villagers that helped them out the night before.
