Plague Doctor

Pulled away by a huge force, Gu Jun fell into an unknown place. He could still open his eyes, but all he saw were glimpses of light and strange things.

It's a bit like traveling through the Dreamland, but... it's different.

The surroundings seemed to be crushing him. He didn't know his expression at the moment, but his heart was clenching tightly, the blood vessels all over his body were bulging and bulging, his head was swelling and painful, and the wounds on his shoulders and abdomen that had just been simply bandaged were about to burst. go……

He didn't know how long this state lasted, it seemed like a long time, and it seemed like just a moment.

Bang bang! There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. It was Gu Jun himself, hitting the hard ground heavily, "Ah..."

The dazzling light hit his eyes. He squinted his eyes slightly and looked around. The sun was scorching in the sky and the clouds were thin. It seemed to be midday. The surrounding area was dry and barren brown land, cracked into pieces. , not a single weed can be seen.

This extremely desolate scene made Gu Jun's pores shrink, and he quickly came back to his senses.

He stood up slowly, holding on to the ground. The soil was very hard. It should have not rained here for a long, long time, and all the water had dried up.

Gu Jun has been to many desolate places, such as deserts and wastelands in Dreamland, but he has never seen any place more desolate than here. He searched for a long time, and there really wasn't even any grass or dead wood, and there were almost no stones. No, just fine, cracked dry soil.

"Where have I been?"

In Xian Yu’s watercolor paintings? No, it seems that the cross symbol used the painting as a medium to construct a passage.

"Is this... another world?" Gu Jun had this idea, but the gravity, light, etc. here did not make him unbearable, and it was not even unfamiliar. It was just that the air was very turbid and hot, and the oxygen content did not seem to be high. He took a deep breath, which made his lungs even more uncomfortable.

He checked his injury first. Fortunately, there was no bleeding from the wound and he could still move around.

Then, taking advantage of the sun, we measured and determined the direction.

But now it seems meaningless to know which sides are east, west, north and south, because they are all the same, lifeless and desolate.

"Is there anyone?" Gu Jun said, not understanding the situation, and did not yell. He just assumed that someone was watching him around, and he had a conversation with them: "I'm here, I heard you Did you pull me here? Please show up."

But he seemed to have just spoken to the air. There was silence all around, and there was no response except for the hot wind that kept blowing.

The scorching sun seemed to be baking the earth, and it was already half-cooked. After standing for a while, Gu Jun was so hot that he was sweating all over, especially the two wounds wrapped with gauze. It was so hot and uncomfortable, and it continued like this. It is easy to become inflamed.

He took off his sludge-stained coat and stuffed it into his backpack. He looked at it and found a 550ml bottle of mineral water, three compressed biscuits and some snacks.

This is all the food he has now. In today's environment and situation, he must consider the issue of supplies.

Because I don’t know how long it will take to get out of this wasteland.

"I'm from Dongzhou, so let's go east."

Gu Jun made a decision, held the scalpel to defend himself, and walked eastward, his mind churning.

Over there in the earth world, am I missing now? The watercolor painting is not here. Everyone should be able to find it. There are no other clues other than that, but the bureau will definitely still search all over the place... He remembered that he told Wu Shiyu that it would be fast, and he couldn't help but laugh at himself, no. Think of it as a flag.

Whether he can go back now is unknown.

And the unknown witch phantom...

Thinking about this, Gu Jun felt heavy in his heart. He must figure it out and go back.

"Maybe this is still the earth?" He looked at the sky. It would be clear if he looked at the stars at night.

Gu Jun walked in a straight line for about an hour and about 5 kilometers, but the surrounding scene remained unchanged. He stopped for a while, drank some water, and then continued walking. Another hour passed, and the wasteland remained unchanged and dry.

But on the third hour, whether it was luck or not, he finally saw something different, just at the far end.

"There's a flag!" Gu Jun looked at it. There was a pillar or a long pole standing on the ground over there, with a flag flying on it.

He misses the telescope very much now. There is not much water left, and the wasteland is unknown how big it is. If he misses it, he will not be able to find it.

Maybe it was a trap, maybe it was a turning point. In any case, he could only watch his surroundings while slowly approaching to see what was going on.

Gradually, Gu Jun walked for another half a kilometer, and his eyes condensed... That was not a flag, but some tattered clothes tied to an iron pillar. Just below that, there was a black iron cage also hung on the iron pillar. On the pillar, there seems to be someone in the cage...

He came closer and vaguely saw that the people in the cage were indeed people, dead people.

It was a shriveled corpse kneeling with its hands tied behind its back. Under the scorching sun, it had almost rotted away, leaving only pale bones in many places.

"It seems to be a human being." Gu Jun is very familiar with the human body. Even from such a distance, he can see that it is a human body structure and that it is Homo sapiens.

Where is this? He looked around again. This was by no means a friendly place. There was danger hidden behind the desolation.

At this time, his eyes noticed something. There was a piece of paper stuck between the cracks in the dry soil over there.

. He walked over to pick it up and took a look, his brows suddenly furrowed in surprise. It was an old and faded public welfare poster. It was still in good condition, but stained with old and dark blood stains.

The poster has an ocean background with two dolphins swimming, and the slogan printed on it in Chinese: "Protect the ocean, cherish our homeland."

Gu Jun's mind became even more confused. He looked at this poster and the corpse in the iron cage in the distance.

Is this the poster the deceased brought? Did he travel to this world like this?

Or is this the earth?

The deceased looked like he was locked in a cage and starved to death. Who did this and why...

Suddenly, there was a harsh rumble coming from the distance. It was the sound of a car's engine, getting louder and closer.

Gu Jun's heart sank when someone came, but he had already been mentally prepared for this. He had been wary of whether the "flag" was a bait. Is someone robbing passers-by? If he was caught, would he be the next person to be put in that cage?

There was nothing around him, nothing could cover him, he couldn't run away. Gu Jun had already seen Hulong's approaching car. It was a shabby and strange assembled car.

Love the Plague Doctor.
