Gu Jun looked at the road sign standing on the edge of the highway, and his heart was slightly agitated. It was this road sign, right here.

There is a gas station a few hundred meters to the west, and there are some short houses further away. There are vehicles filling up the gas station. He could see that those figures were all human beings, not orangutans or baboons, and they should not have returned to the wrong place.

Mo Qing, Jin Zhuzhu, Shi Hu and Shui Yu, these three men and one woman were in a dazed state, giggling and asking questions.

Catherine had already discovered the problem of language barrier, "Maybe I have a way." She said at this time, "I feel like I can make the peacocks come out at the same time, and we can communicate in our hearts, and translate everyone's words like this?" It must be because of the mental disorder for many years, She accepted the situation quickly and was relieved of many of the questions that had plagued her for years.

"You can try it." Gu Jun nodded. Catherine Peacock was not an ordinary multiple personality situation, and he couldn't be sure.

Immediately, Catherine's expression changed, her brows furrowed, her eyes closed and opened again, feeling a little painful...

Suddenly, her two eyes each had a different look, and she opened her mouth with a peacock's voice: "Mr. Nightmare Man." The next sentence changed back to Catherine's voice: "I'm still here! This works." Two The individual personality simultaneously moves within this body, acting as translator.

"Let's go over there." Gu Jun walked to the gas station over there and told Mo Qing and others to follow and not to act rashly.

These land wanderers were surprised by everything they looked at at this time. They had been to so many places in the dreamland, but they had never seen such things as "cars".

This is a small to medium-sized gas station with a convenience store. Most of the people passing by are tourist vehicles, and some are towing boats. They are obviously going to the coast.

A fat white security guard at the gas station watched the group of them approach and looked at them.

"Hi." Catherine greeted her and said nonchalantly: "We are organizing a fantasy-themed hiking activity."

"I seem to remember you." The fat man said, "Your car has been parked there for more than ten days, and we are going to call the police."

This was an accident. It turned out that Catherine and Tom had driven here before. A red two-box Ford was parked in a free roadside parking space not far from the gas station.

At that moment, everyone walked over, but they didn't have the car keys to open the door. Gu Jun directly used the old stone to smash the driver's window glass. After a bang, the car alarm sounded loudly. Catherine had no choice but to shout to the fat man who was looking at her: "I lost my key!"

The fat man has more doubts. Is it them? In fact, he is a bit blind to Asians.

But this was Catherine's car. Her handbag was still beside the driver's seat. It contained mobile phones, documents, some cash, etc.

When the fat man came over with another stronger security guard, Catherine showed her ID to prove that her group was not stealing the car.

Tom's cell phone was there, but both phones were out of battery, so they headed to the convenience store.

This convenience fast food restaurant is quite large and has all kinds of services, including a supermarket area, restaurant area, ATM machines, vending machines, etc., as well as a small children's play area. When they walked in from the door, even though this place supposedly values ​​individuality, people shopping and dining still looked at them.

"Can you take off the mask?" Catherine whispered to the Nightmare Man, "You look so much like Michael Myers, you know, right?"

It's okay for them to wear linen costumes, but the nightmare man also wears a white mask, and his eyes are very weird, just like the murderer Michael Myers in the horror movie "Moonlight", the people here I'm afraid he'll suddenly pull out a gun.

"I know," said Gu Jun, who was one of the most famous killers in film history, "but believe me, they will be even more scared if I take off the mask."

He had more important things to care about, so he walked to the charging station with his mobile phone, plugged it in, and successfully turned it on.

The time is July 3, 2021, 5:21 pm Western Australian Standard Time.

"I'm back..." Gu Jun finally let out a long sigh of relief. It wasn't decades or hundreds of years later, but only half a year.

"Why are people in there?" At the same time, Peacock looked at the TV screen in the corner in confusion, and Shuiyu wondered: "Are their souls trapped inside?" Mo Qing looked at the barrel-shaped people beside the dining table. Customers, they were eating French fries, fried chicken and Coke. Mo Qing said in a deep voice: "Are these people from our tribe? Why are they all so fat? If the Osalans come, how can they beat them?" ?”

They spoke the language of the wanderers of the land, but to the ears of the white customers, it was probably Chinese.

Gu Jun had no time to worry about it. He pressed his phone to connect to the i-fi in the store and immediately started searching online.

As expected, the world has not changed much. In January of this year, the "flu epidemic" in Dongzhou ended. In the next six months, there was no news about the incident involving the entire city, and the follow-up reports of the flu were also No, obviously I don’t want people to discuss it anymore.

Countries around the world have also not disclosed any secret organizations and supernatural events...

But what about disease plagues?

Gu Jun continued to search and saw that there was another Ebola epidemic in Africa this year, which has infected more than 5,200 people and killed more than 3,800 people. This made him feel very uncomfortable and uneasy. Now it is difficult to tell whether there is anyone behind the Ebola outbreak.

But there are some new ones

The smell made him even more uneasy:

[An outbreak of Legionnaires’ disease in Los Angeles, Citi City, has killed 15 people]

[Gaul Legionnaires' disease outbreak, 26 people infected and 3 died]

[Ebola is not over yet, Legionnaires’ disease breaks out again, and the epidemic in Africa is getting worse]

"Legionnaire's disease..." Gu Jun frowned. Three different continents and different countries have had Legionnaires' disease outbreaks in the past two months.

Legionnaires' disease is a clinical syndrome caused by bacteria of the genus Legionella. It was named because the first known outbreak occurred in 1976 during a veterans' convention in Philadelphia. Its pathogenic bacteria are spread through the air, invade the human body from the respiratory tract, and cause pneumonia...

He checked the information and found that the incubation period was 2-10 days, with headache, fatigue, and body aches at first, and then a sudden fever within 1-2 days, which could reach over 40c.

In the early stage of the disease, there will be cough, bloody sputum, and some patients will have hemoptysis... As the disease progresses, there will be paralysis of the limbs, disturbance of consciousness, and delirium...

"Legionnaire's disease." Gu Jun murmured. If the "blood lung disease" in the future information is brewing to break out, are the two related?

Legionella is already a super bacteria. If a super Legionella is born, will it be...

Could the current Legionnaires' disease epidemic be some kind of culture experiment organized by the organization behind it?

The more Gu Jun thought about it, the heavier his heart became. He wanted to contact the Tianji Bureau immediately to take him back. But those future messages dissuaded him. "Wearing a face will not make you bad". He hasn't figured out what this means yet, but the visions of the future he saw in the passage... his various death scenes...

He pondered for a while and told himself not to be impulsive and not rule out that the black shadow was a well-intentioned help.

"Tianji Chaos", he can only confirm at present that it has nothing to do with Wu Shiyu. She is not a traitor, because in the future information, she died earlier.

It was the only one he dared venture to be sure of. Although he didn't think Cai Zixuan and Wang Ruoxiang would be traitors, he knew that mental erosion would change their minds.

Even their bodies can be invaded by other souls, so... no one can easily rule out suspicion.

"How do I contact Xian Yu?" Gu Jun looked outside the convenience store. It was almost nightfall, and there was no time difference between Australia Western Standard Time and China Time.

Their mobile phones disappeared on the white ship, but she probably still used the same number - he could remember the mobile phone numbers of all his teammates, and he memorized them deliberately.

However, he didn't know whether the mobile phone communications of Tianji personnel were always monitored by the organization, so it would be unwise to call her directly.

"Unless..." Gu Jun frowned and thought, "If you don't say anything after calling me, this is a harassing call at best." Xian Yu has the ability to synesthesia, and he and she have successfully had a spiritual conversation in the dream world. Now, This distance is a bit far... maybe she can sense something else?

Give it a try. He didn't use Catherine's mobile phone to call, but went to the landline at the counter of the store. Because it was an international long distance call, he asked Catherine to give the waiter money, then he picked up the phone and pressed the number keys on the landline to dial.

Du, dun, you can get through! Gu Jun couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He beeped a few more times and the connection clicked. A lazy female voice came out of the phone: "Hello?"

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief again, and a big stone fell in his heart. It was Wu Shiyu's voice, she was still alive.

He didn't speak, and he didn't even deliberately amplify his breathing, but he shouted in his heart: Xianyu, do you hear it, it's me, Gu Jun! I'm not dead, I'm back!

"Hello?" Wu Shiyu on the other end of the phone said again, "Talk? Who? Well...just let it go." She muttered as she thought of something, "A guy once told me that in a horror movie, one day you answer If you get a silent call, you're definitely in trouble."

This sounds like something I said, Gu Jun thought, yes, it seems to have been said during the casual chat during the special training session.

Then he said that the right thing to do if you want to survive is... hang up the phone immediately.

Beep, beep, beep... the call was hung up.

Love the Plague Doctor.
