Gurong Village is a settlement near a river, with a population of nearly 1,000 in the past. There used to be villagers living in the low bungalows and newly-built small bungalows, and there were also some donkey tourists in the elegantly decorated tourist homestays. There were old people sitting under the banyan trees, and children and dogs running on the river bank.

But now, silence, just an eerie silence.

There were no villagers anywhere, no dogs or cats, and even the vigilant mice were gone.

However, there are more patrol teams from the Operation Department of the Tianji Bureau in the village, and there are many newly built sentry towers, and there are people guarding the towers all the time.

In the dark sky, a thunderstorm seemed to be brewing, and the cold mountain wind blew the crumbling electric poles by the roadside.

Gu Jun kept looking at the scene outside through the car window, and the convoy passed a magnificent and luxurious government building, which was also dilapidated. It was also the address of the "Cultural Tourism District Management Committee" of Gurong Village. over the phone...

"This ancient banyan village is an onset point of the banyan tree disease." Uncle Dan said to him, "I don't know if it's the source, but the epidemic here is the earliest."

"Hmm..." Gu Jun said silently, if it was now, those villagers should be able to be rescued by the medical department.

There was still some distance from the big banyan tree, and the convoy stopped in an open space by the river. Some prefabricated barracks have been set up here, connecting several surrounding villagers' houses to form a command center, and some Tianji personnel are busy walking around.

After the demon hunter team and Gu Jun got out of the car, they joined the members of the abnormal force investigation team here.

Gu Jun just stood and watched. The big banyan tree in front of him was different from the one in the tourist promotional photos. It was no longer green and full of vitality. The twisted branches and withered leaves were only withered gray and black, as if it had died. for a long time.

He noticed that there was a huge hole rotting under the trunk of the banyan tree. It was very dark inside, but there seemed to be a little bit of light.

"Uncle Dan, is that banyan tree still contagious?" Gu Jun looked at the banyan tree with a chill in his bones. One of the modes of transmission of the banyan disease is direct contact with diseased trees, but it is a mystery how the whole village is infected.

"Yes, but we can't burn it for the time being, wait for Captain Xue to explain to you." Uncle Dan likes to play tricks, which is not likable.

After a while, Xue Ba came over after talking with the investigators, "Ah Jun, do you know the Pinturas River Hand Cave?"

Gu Jun seems to have an impression, but he can't say it out, "I don't know..."

"Simply put, it's a mural in a cave in a narrow valley in Argentina. It was painted by ancient humans. Among them, some dense handprints are the most famous." Xue Ba said eloquently, as if a teacher was giving a lecture, but his Contra's size and Xueba style really don't match.

Seeing Gu Jun frowned slightly, Xue Ba was a little anxious: "Really, I'm telling the truth! If you don't believe me, check it out."

Uncle Dan winked at the back and reminded Gu Jun, don't be anxious with Captain Xue, this guy cares most about his image as a top student.

"I believe, I've heard of it before." Gu Jun nodded and said, "What's the relationship between this?"

"Look at that banyan tree." Xue Ba handed Gu Jun a military binoculars, "It's right there in the rotten tree hole."

Gu Jun took the binoculars and pointed it at it. Now he could see it clearly. Just around the tree hole, there were some messy handprints on the gray rotten bark, which seemed to be the natural lines of the bark. like struggling...

His heart ached when he saw it, "Are those the handprints of the villagers?"

"No, the investigation team has sampled and compared them. There are a total of 16 handprints there, and none of them match." Xue Ba paused, with a hint of confusion on his vigorous face, "16 handprints, 16 people, this is a banyan tree. The current maximum capacity of the hole space."

"The space of the banyan tree hole?" Gu Jun was startled, didn't he just point to the tree hole? No matter how crowded there were sixteen people.

"There is an abnormal space inside." Xue Ba said directly, turning his head to look for a member, "The scientific research department is going crazy, Lin Mo, come and explain!"

Lin Mo is a scientific researcher in the team. He is in his thirties. When he was called at this time, he didn't come over. He just gave the team leader a middle finger.

"Hehehe." Xue Ba was enjoying himself, and then explained to Gu Jun: "Einstein may not be able to explain clearly. You know wormholes, wormholes can distort time and space. There is a theory that passing through wormholes You can go to other places through the hole. The banyan tree hole is like a wormhole, and there is another space inside."

Xue Ba's tone was calm, as if he was saying that there was a yard behind his house.

It seems that he didn't feel at all what kind of impact these words and this matter would have on the perception of the entire world.

It will make countless scientists ecstatic, and it will also collapse countless scientists.

Wormhole? Gu Jun looked at the unfathomable banyan tree hole, his heart beat a little too fast...

"I told you." Uncle Dan over there laughed. This is not something that G-level personnel have the authority to know, and it is the reason why Gu Jun is special.

At that moment, Gu Jun listened to them explain the reason in detail.

After the disease in Gurong Village was discovered and controlled, the investigation department immediately discovered this shocking situation. The three-meter range around the big banyan tree became a strange area, and the magnetic field and gravity were all chaotic.

Therefore, the investigation department, the scientific research department, the operation department and other departments jointly established a "Gurong Village Emergency Team", and called their demon hunter team for support.

Xue Ba played some videos to Gu Jun on his mobile phone.

Initially, emergency teams used remote-controlled robots,

The man and machine waited for the machine to explore the banyan tree cave, but the signal was cut off as soon as they entered. It was only later that they figured out that the outside signal could not enter the different space, but the ground wave radio could be transmitted from inside, but due to the severe attenuation, only this command center could receive it.

Then came the experimental animals, but they lost control after entering and starved to death after a few days-this was confirmed by the calorimeter signal and the personnel who entered later.

"Animals wear cameras and recording equipment, but the images and videos shot inside and sent out are all like this..."

Xue Ba showed Gu Jun some pictures and videos again, all of which were distorted and blurred and indescribable, "The researchers tried their best to recover, no."

It was the Witcher Squad that the emergency response team had made their first attempt at letting a living person inside a week earlier.

Originally, there were still some personnel from the Operations Department, but only one more person could enter. It was also at this time that the "capacity" of the Banyan Tree Cave was discovered.

"After we went in, we found..." Xue Ba recalled those strange scenes, "It's inside."
