Chapter 20: The Dead Tree in a Dream

Yes! Gu Jun suddenly woke up from the nightmare, and when he opened his eyes, he saw the white ceiling, he was still in the bedroom, and it was just a dream just now......

He looked at the time on his phone, and he seemed to have slept for a short time, but he had slept for two hours.

Gu Jun took a deep breath, there was a faint smell like an onion in the air, formalin, which was emanating from him. He pressed his still-heavy head and got up and got out of bed.

"Just now...... Is it really just a dream? He muttered to himself, "It doesn't feel like ......"

It was either a dream, a subconscious product of what happened to me in the past few days.

Either it's not a dream, it's a real thing that happened.

Gu Jun thought about it, while finding some clean clothes in the closet, and then went to the shower room of the dormitory building to take a good shower, Li Lerui's mobile phone was still with him. When taking a bath, the hot water kept pouring down from the shower, and he rubbed his hands vigorously, washing over and over again, but it still seemed that he couldn't wash off the plastic smell brought by the medical rubber gloves on his hands......

After taking a bath, Gu Jun returned to the bedroom, only to see Cai Zixuan back, busy with his wardrobe.

"Haojun, you just took a bath?" Cai Zixuan asked sleepily.

"I just slept first." Gu Jun saw that his roommate's eyes were red and swollen, and his flat nose had become rosacea because he had been stimulated by formalin to run too much snot, and he couldn't help but say, "Zixuan, you look so miserable now." ”

You're embarrassed to say that you're the culprit...... Cai Zixuan sighed, but he still couldn't get angry, "Look in the mirror, you are worse than me." ”

When Gu Jun heard this, he took a mirror to take a look, and sure enough, his face was even more haggard, and his appearance was no longer guaranteed, like a mad thing hovering on the verge of madness. He burst out laughing, and he didn't know what he was laughing at, shaking his head while laughing, "Medical dog, medical dog." ”

"Thankfully, we're not the only ones." Cai Zixuan walked over with his clothes in his arms, stopped and said to him: "Except for the deformed parts, the quality of those bodies this time is really high. We just went to a few laboratories next to us to take a look, and many of us were desperate. ”

What is the usual dissection, the fat guy who is full of fat, the body of a car accident with blood in his stomach, and the body of jumping off a building with a severed limb......

Cai Zixuan said with emotion: "Shen Wanjie from Class 1 knows, the general teacher of their group is a young woman, who is also deformed in her left hand, and has no other abnormalities. That skin is so beautiful! Everyone said that they had the most beautiful skin they had ever seen, like a moisturizer advertisement. ”

"Do you know how perverted your tone is right now?" Gu Jun quipped, although he knew that Zixuan meant the clarity of the structure when he said "beautiful".

"Ugh." Cai Zixuan scratched his head and walked out with his clothes in his arms.

Sometimes, some things are inadvertently connected.

Ad? Gu Jun recalled a memory fragment that flashed by, that huge dead tree he seemed to have seen, in what advertisement? Travel Advertising News?

It's just that it's not a dead tree, it's leafy, and the leaves are very verdant......

Gu Jun sat down at the desk, opened his laptop and checked the Internet, searching for "domestic, big tree", searching for "Dongzhou City, big tree"...... He browsed through the information he searched for, and suddenly saw a piece of news that seemed familiar, and clicked to open it.

Dongzhou City, Ancient Banyan Village, an old banyan tree with a lifespan of 1,000 years.

Gu Jun looked at the news photos on the screen, his eyes narrowed, "It's this tree, it's this old banyan tree that I saw in my dream." ”

Gurong Village is not a famous place, just an ordinary village, located in the remote mountainous area on the northern edge of Dongzhou City, although there are some landscapes, but there has been underdevelopment, usually only some travelers will go. Ancient Banyan Village, the most famous is this banyan tree.

Because it is placed in the entire Dongzhou City, this banyan tree is also one of the longest-lived.

Gu Jun's eyes flashed with the scene of decay and ashes, he took a sip of water, and continued to search for information about Gurong Village.

Its last news item was last year, and most of the rest is related to the promotion of the tree. And then...... No new information about the village can be found online. It's a little unusually clean, it's a small tourist attraction after all, how can it be so clean?

Unless, something happens there, and the information there is controlled.

"The source of the deformity, could it be the ancient banyan village?" Gu Jun thought about it, and clicked on another piece of news about Gurong Village, and his heart suddenly tightened......

This news is that the director of the cultural tourism zone management committee of Gurong Village introduced the development plan of their village to reporters.

The director is a middle-aged man, with an ordinary figure, a face with a national character, and a warm smile on the news picture, saying that in the next ten years, Gurong Village will be developed into a popular place for self-driving tourism in the north of Dongzhou......

The director's face is very familiar to Gu Jun.

This morning, he removed the eyeballs of this face with his own hands.

"Whew." Gu Jun leaned back in his chair, and he already had a set of guesses in his heart. Whether it is the source or not, there should be an outbreak in Gurong Village, and the fifty bodies are all villagers, and there may be more dead...... What the hell happened there to become like this......

Looking at the big green banyan tree on the screen, he had an increasingly strong impulse, go there, go there, go to the ancient banyan village, the answer you want is there......

"No!" Gu Jun shouted, interrupting his impulse, he definitely couldn't just run to Gurong Village so recklessly.

It was just a clear revelation to those who were watching him, and he wasn't ignorant.

And this is definitely an act of death, and this is the kind of person who doesn't live long in horror movies.

"Ancient Banyan Village...... Is anyone still there, the work of epidemic prevention and control must have begun, is it quarantined? ”

Gu Jun thought of another way to verify the right or wrong of his guess.

It's still past four o'clock in the afternoon, he calculated, searched out some information and wrote it down on his mobile phone, cleared the browsing records, turned off the computer, and walked out of the bedroom quickly.

After leaving the dormitory building, Gu Jun quickly went out of the confines of the campus dormitory area and went to the street outside. He got into a taxi and deliberately made the driver take a detour before getting out of the car and scurrying into a familiar alley, where he bought an unnamed mobile phone card at a small roadside shop.

Gu Jun used his mobile phone to change this new card, opened the mobile phone address book, and there was a new contact in it, "Gurong Village Cultural Tourism Zone Management Committee".

He walked out of the small shop, walked down this old and cramped alleyway, pointed his finger, and pressed to dial.

This is a landline number, and with the current Gurong Village, he thinks that it is possible that the communication line has been cut off, or no one has connected.

Toot, toot...... The phone is waiting for the sound to be connected, and the line can still be called.

Gu Jun looked at the sky in the evening, and looked at the old signboards of the small shops on both sides of the alley, "Malatang", "Luo Ji Groceries", "Health Massage Foot Bath"

The phone beeped ten times, but still no one answered, is Gurong Village really a dead place?

Gu Jun raised his head, and when he was about to put down the phone with his right hand and hang up, suddenly, there was a click.

The call went through.
