Plague Doctor

After Gu Jun got new clues, the Secret Bureau immediately teamed up with the Russian National Security Service to investigate the Inuit.

However, the Inuit are a race composed of many tribes, widely distributed in the Arctic Circle, and different tribes have different customs and legends. At that time, that boatload of immigrants came from a small tribe in Chukotka. Others did not know much about their beliefs. They only knew that they worshiped an ancient god, but they were just primitive and ignorant ideas. There was no such thing at that time. People take it seriously, because the tribe is closed and there is a lack of records.

Some of the Inuit of this tribe were later forcibly immigrated to Wrangel Island, some died, and some could not be traced after leaving the sea.

Therefore, the Tianji Bureau could not find any information about their pagan worship.

And Gu Jun and others found nothing else in Uhakovskoye Village, except for the photo that told the strangeness of the past. They seemed to be just a group of ordinary Inuit people. But Gu Jun believes that that festival really existed, and Vasily Petronov's death may be one of the results of the festival.

Only by reaching the sea cliff where the festival is held can we get closer to the truth.

After determining the target, the Arctic Wolf team immediately prepared for action.

Different from the southern plain where the base is located, the sea cliff is located at the eastern end of the Central Mountains. The terrain is quite complicated. This kind of wind and snow weather is not suitable for helicopter flying. Similar crashes are not unknown. We only have to drive through nearly 40 kilometers of plains and then climb up to the foot of the mountain. The altitude is 635 meters, which is not high but will not be easy because the road up the mountain has already been blocked by ice and snow.

The conditions are very harsh, but the plague is still spreading in Dongzhou, and managing the patients separately is a huge test of manpower. They must hurry up here.

On the morning of the second day when Gu Jun and the others arrived on the island, the weather was quite in line with expectations, and the joint forces of the two countries set off as planned.

"The polar bear led us to this place." Gu Jun told everyone at the beginning of the plan, "I feel that this business will not go smoothly."

They still don't know what that polar bear is. They couldn't track it yesterday, and the satellite didn't photograph it.

But everyone saw it at the time, and now everyone can only explain it as a group hallucination...

But that sea cliff might be a trap, so you have to be prepared.

The wind was howling with the snow, and in the vast snowfield under the polar night, a convoy of snow armored vehicles was moving forward. This was a joint force composed of 30 people from the Ross Kingdom, 30 people from the Arctic Wolf Team, and five people from Gu Jun. At this time, they had traveled 16 kilometers, and everyone saw that everything around them was ice and snow in the dark.

If it were summer, this would be a tundra with many plants found nowhere else in the world, but now they are all covered in ice and snow.

Originally, in order to avoid mental stress and the Ganzfeld effect, the team members were not supposed to look out the window, and the drivers were allowed to move forward based on the radar.

However, what Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu rely on is super-sense, and mental pressure is sometimes the source of super-sense.

So Gu Jun kept looking out the window in the car, sometimes wearing night vision goggles and sometimes looking with the naked eye to feel if it was in this direction. And his spirit became more and more fluctuating with the falling patches of ice and snow...

Just so suddenly, with just a blink of an eye, he saw some huge mountains appearing in front of him.

The highest mountain on this deserted island is located in the center of the island, with an altitude of only 1,096 meters. However, the mountain range reaches straight into the sky and looks higher than Mount Everest.

"Have you seen the huge mountain in front of you?" Gu Jun immediately asked everyone through the communicator, "It appeared suddenly."

"No, Jushan?" "Everything is as usual." Xue Ba and Yu Xiaoyong could only respond with doubts, and even Wu Shiyu didn't see it.

Any of Gu Jun's hallucinations now is not simple, and Yu Xiaoyong immediately reported the situation to the command center.

"The satellite image has not changed." The command center responded quickly, and communications were connected at the island base, the Tianji Bureau headquarters and Dongzhou.

Hallucination? Gu Jun frowned and looked at the huge mountain range that had not disappeared... Although it was hazy, it was still there, exuding grandeur and strangeness...

"This island is producing a lot of hallucinations." He could only be sure of this, but he doubted whether this place might overlap with the dream world?

When the convoy advanced to more than 30 kilometers, the wind and snow began to get heavier, the sound was rumbling, and the communication signal became unstable. But this is not the worst weather on the island. In February and March, snowstorms can reach speeds of more than 140 kilometers per hour, overturning even cars and people.

At this time, the convoy could at least complete this section of the road smoothly and reach the snowfield at the foot of the mountain where the sea cliff was intended.

When it arrived here, the convoy stopped. Most of the joint force members got off the armored vehicles with various equipment and firearms, and braved the wind and snow to climb the mountain in groups.

"Here, come with us." From the Russian side, Mstislav personally led the team. The Russians did not know the significance of this trip. The reason why Mstislav personally led the expedition obviously had a different mission. Then It is to figure out the true purpose of the Secret Bureau.

The Russians walked in front and behind, and more than 20 people including Gu Jun, Xue Ba, and Yu Xiaoyong walked in the middle.

Due to the ice and snow blockage, everyone had to make the journey with difficulty. Occupied by the mountains in front of him, Gu Jun could not see the huge mountain range at this time. But halfway through the journey, he saw it, and this time Yu Xiaoyong and the others also saw it, and Mstislav and other Russians also saw it.

In the dark sky beside the mountains, various northern birds are circling and flying. Eagles, gulls, shearwaters... they form dense flocks.

, flying around without making a sound.

But the birds on the island have already left here to spend the winter...

"Command center, we saw a large number of birds." Yu Xiaoyong reported immediately again, while Mstislav also reported hurriedly in Russian.

"The satellite has not detected any birds in your location, not found."

At this moment, Xue Ba, Lou Xiaoning, Zhang Xiaoqi and others all felt their hearts sinking. Was this another group hallucination? It was always in front of their eyes.

"There are more birds, and they seem to be... looking at us." Yu Xiaoyong added.

But what they got was a surprised and worried response from the command center personnel: "The satellite didn't take any pictures. There are no people or animals on the top of the mountain."

Gu Jun couldn't tell what those bird shadows were, and the uneasiness in his heart became stronger...

The situation in Dongzhou did not allow them to turn around and go back. Every member of the team was selected through a mental state project. This illusion could not knock them down. At that moment, everyone calmed down and continued to climb up. Just the wind and snow hitting my face made my skin sting very much.

It was very fast to climb several hundred meters in altitude, but the closer they got to the top of the mountain, the more they heard a strange sound coming down.

It was not the cry of a bird, it seemed to be the frantic cry of a human being.

Gu Jun and Wu Shiyu looked at each other, and they recognized that it was the cry of the Inuit people during the ceremony.

Love the Plague Doctor.
