Chapter 20 The Dead Tree in the Dream

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

He looked at the time on his phone, and it seemed that he had only slept for a short while, but he had already slept for two hours.

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

"Just now...was it really just a dream?" He murmured in his heart, "It doesn't feel like..."

It was either a dream, a subconscious product caused by what I had encountered in the past few days.

Either it was not a dream, but a scene that actually happened.

While thinking about it, Gu Jun found some clean clothes in the closet, and then went to the bathroom in the dormitory to take a good shower. Li Lerui still carried his mobile phone with him. When taking a shower, hot water was continuously pouring from the shower. He rubbed his hands vigorously and washed them over and over again, but he still couldn't get rid of the plastic smell brought by the medical rubber gloves on his hands...

After taking a shower, Gu Jun returned to the dormitory, only to see Cai Zixuan returned, busy with his closet.

"Haojun, did you just take a shower?" Cai Zixuan asked sleepily.

"Just took a nap first." Gu Jun saw that this old friend's eyes were red and swollen, and his flat nose became like a rosacea because of too much runny nose stimulated by formalin. He couldn't help saying: " Zixuan, you look miserable right now."

As the culprit, you still have the nerve to say... Cai Zixuan sighed, but still couldn't get angry, "Look in the mirror, you are worse than me."

Hearing this, Gu Jun went to take a mirror to look at it, and sure enough, his face became more emaciated, his appearance lost, like a lunatic hovering on the edge of madness. He burst out laughing, not knowing what he was laughing at, shaking his head while laughing, "Medical dog, medical dog."

"Fortunately, we are not the only ones like this." Cai Zixuan walked by with his clothes in his arms, stopped and said to him, "The quality of the remains this time is really high except for the deformed parts. We just went to the nearby laboratories to check, and there are many People are also working hard.”

What is the usual autopsy like, a fat man full of fat, a car accident body full of blood, a body jumped from a building with severed limbs...

Cai Zixuan said with emotion: "I know Shen Wanjie from class 1. The general teacher in their group is a young woman with a deformed left hand and no other abnormalities. That skin is so beautiful! Everyone said that it was the most beautiful skin they had ever seen. Pulled from a skin cream ad."

"Do you know how abnormal your tone is now?" Gu Jun joked, although he knew that Zixuan's "beautiful" meant a clear structure.

"Uh." Cai Zixuan scratched his head, walked out with his clothes in his arms.

Sometimes, things are connected inadvertently.

advertise? Gu Jun recalled a memory fragment that flashed past. He seemed to have seen that huge dead tree. What advertisement was it in? Travel advertising news?

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

Gu Jun sat down at the desk, turned on his laptop and searched online, searched for "domestic, big tree", searched for "Dongzhou, big tree"...he browsed through the information he found, and suddenly saw a message Deja vu news, click to open.

Dongzhou City, Gurong 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, "This is the tree, this old banyan tree I saw in my dream."

Gurong Village is not a famous place, but just an ordinary village. It is located in a remote mountainous area on the northern edge of Dongzhou City. Although it has some beautiful scenery, it has always been underdeveloped. Usually, only some donkey friends will go there. Gurong Village is most famous for its banyan tree.

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

The withered and withered scene flashed before Gu Jun's eyes, he took a sip of water, and continued to search for information on Gurong Village.

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

Unless, something happened there, and the information there was controlled.

"Could the source of deformity be Gu Rong Village?" Gu Jun thought, and clicked on another piece of news about Gu Rong Village, his heart tightened suddenly...

This news is that the director of the Cultural Tourism Area Management Committee of Gurong Village introduced the development plan of their village to the reporter.

The director is a middle-aged man with an ordinary figure and a Zhang Guozi face. The smile on the news photo is very warm and honest. He said that in the next ten years, Gurong Village will be developed into a popular self-driving tourist spot in the northern part of Dongzhou...

Gu Jun is very familiar with the director's face.

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

"Huh." Gu Jun leaned back in his chair, already having a set of guesses in his mind. Regardless of the source or not, an epidemic should have broken out in Gurong Village, and the fifty corpses were all villagers, and there may be more dead... What happened there to make it so...

Looking at the big emerald green banyan tree on the screen, he has an increasingly strong urge to go there and have a look, go to the ancient banyan village, the answer you want is right there...

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

This is just to show those who are watching him that he is not ignorant.

And it's definitely an act of death, a horror movie

This is the kind of person who doesn't live long.

"Gurong Village... Is there anyone else there? The epidemic prevention and control work must have started. Is it quarantined there?"

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

It was still after four o'clock in the afternoon, he made some calculations, searched out some information and wrote it down in his mobile phone, cleared his browsing history, turned off the computer, and walked out of the dormitory quickly.

After leaving the dormitory building, Gu Jun quickly left the campus dormitory area and went to the street outside. He got into a taxi and deliberately asked the driver to make a detour before he got out of the car and ran into a familiar alley, where he bought an unregistered mobile phone card in an ordinary roadside shop.

Gu Jun replaced this new card with his mobile phone, opened the phone's address book, and there was a newly recorded contact "Gurong Village Cultural Tourism Area Management Committee".

He walked out of the small shop, walked on this old and cramped alleyway, tapped his finger, and pressed the dial button.

This is a landline number, and in the current Gurong Village, he thinks that the communication line may have been cut off, or no one is connected.

Beep, beep... The phone is waiting for a connection sound, and the line is still available.

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

The phone beeped ten times, but no one answered. Is Gurong Village really dead?

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 clicking sound.

The phone is connected.
