This was not the first time Gu Jun had come to the cadaver storage room of the autopsy building.
In the past, a day or two before the autopsy class, the teacher would assign the boys to work here during their spare time. They would move the cadavers needed for the autopsy to the refrigerated storage box on the dissection table in the laboratory.
There were all kinds of rumors about this place, such as medical dogs carrying corpses in the middle of the night, or people coming here to sleep and train their courage. None of these were true.
For medical dogs like them, their threshold of fear had long been raised by various human specimens and experimental animal corpses. Walking into the cadaver storage room did not feel particularly scary. In the past, there were even students who stood by the dissection table while eating breakfast and watching others dissect.
That was not Gu Jun, nor was it Cai Zixuan. Although they liked to maximize the value of experimental animals, they never treated the silent cadavers with the slightest bit of playfulness or blasphemy. There was only respect and seriousness.
During the mourning ceremony before the first autopsy class, tears rolled down Gu Jun's cheeks. He knew that some of these cadavers came from body donors, and some came from unclaimed nameless corpses. At that time, he thought of his missing parents.
Now, on the way to the cadaver storage room, Gu Jun clearly felt the atmosphere was different.
There were more unfamiliar faces along the way. Although they were also wearing white coats and medical masks, they did not look like staff from the school. They were wearing the same black military boots, and when they walked, their footsteps were heavy, as if they were stepping on people's hearts.
Furthermore, these people did not even glance at Gu Jun's group, they just walked past them.
"Who are these guys?" Xu Hai looked at his companions, puzzled. Cai Zixuan scratched his head, he also did not know.
But when Gu Jun saw another group of people coming from the other end of the corridor, he suddenly understood. "It's corpse carriers."
Corpse carriers? This name suddenly appeared in his mind, and he said it with a strange feeling that he himself couldn't explain clearly.
Cai Zixuan and the other two also saw it. The group of black military boots were pushing transport vehicles. Each vehicle had a rectangular storage tank painted white, like a coffin. Even from a distance, the strong smell of formalin was already irritating their eyes.
The four of them stood to the side and let this caravan of people pass first.
Just like those people from before, this group of people didn't even look at them when they walked past, as if they didn't exist.
But this was indeed the first time they had seen a Corpse Carrier.
What was going on? Xu Hai and Zhang Haoran discussed in whispers.
Even for Eastern University, the resources of cadavers in the school were very tight for a long time. With strict teaching rationing, every cadaver had a clear and definite purpose before entering the school, no more and no less. Now, suddenly, the higher-ups wanted to organize a city-wide competition, and all 12 groups of Pioneer Cup students had to undergo dissection training. Of course, this required the support of additional cadavers, which was why these corpse carriers had appeared.
"This deduction is very reasonable, but …" Gu Jun murmured. He had a feeling that things weren't as simple as that …
Suddenly, his heart felt as if it had been struck by lightning. The dark clouds dispersed, and he realized why! From these people, from their faces that were mostly covered by masks, he felt the same coldness that he felt from the man who was following him.
Who the hell were these guys …?
After waiting for a while, the corpse carrier team pushed an empty cart back and passed by again. The long white grooves had disappeared.
Gu Jun deliberately looked at these people carefully, but he still couldn't see anything.
"Let's go, let's go." Xu Hai immediately urged everyone to hurry up. "We really came at the right time."
One must know that the quality of cadavers varied. Many corpses came from tragic accident scenes. Some were broken into several pieces, and some were swollen into a ball. Just like a corpse that Gu Jun and his clinical class 3 had once dissected. When the abdomen was cut open, the organs inside were all rotten. Obviously, it was internal injuries caused by a serious car accident.
However, if you want to learn anatomy well and quickly, you can't do it without high-quality cadavers.
Therefore, there had always been a tacit battle between the classes and the small groups of the classes. The boys who were responsible for moving the corpses, of course, would always assign high-quality cadavers to their groups.
Having a well-structured head on the dissection table would make many people envious and jealous.
However, good luck didn't come every time. The teacher would also redistribute the cadavers.
And now, their group of five people, including Gu Jun, was only six people. They actually had the opportunity to dissect a whole cadaver! And just in time for the corpse carrier to send the cadaver fresh. Xu Hai couldn't hide his excitement as he walked. "We have to choose the most intact body. This is such a rare opportunity."
Yes, this was a rare opportunity. Gu Jun thought that as long as they could find a malformed body, they could complete that difficult task.
"We should choose a malformed body," he said. This was not a bad suggestion.
"Yes, yes, yes." Cai Zixuan suddenly nodded like a chicken pecking rice. "If there's a deformity, then choose the deformity."
Of course, Xu Hai and Zhang Haoran also understood that Tycoon Jun was finally right for once. Although it was good to be whole, deformity was the most precious.
During the conversation, the four of them came to the front desk outside the corpse storage room. Finally, they saw a familiar face. The receptionist, Lao Chui, was a middle-aged man with a beer belly. His face was greasy, and he looked like Butcher Hu in the picture of Fan Jin Zhongju.
"Teacher Cui." Xu Hai rushed forward to negotiate. "Professor Gu asked us to come."
"I know, I know. Professor Gu told me about it." Lao Chui looked at his phone without raising his head, playing Anipop. "You guys go in by yourselves. I won't help you. Whether it's the school's original or the new ones, all the bodies can be chosen. "
"Teacher Cui, what's the background of those corpse carriers?" Gu Jun asked.
"How would I know?" Lao Chui said snappily. "Each of them has a stinky face. What background can they have? If they had a background, they wouldn't do this job."
Gu Jun was silent. That was not necessarily true. For example, most librarians were ordinary people, but some librarians were powerful existences.
On the other side, Xu Hai had already hurriedly opened the iron door of the storage room and urged them to hurry up. Gu Jun followed him in.
Even though they were all wearing tight masks, they were still affected by the strong smell of formalin.
The storage room was very spacious. The surrounding walls were piled with all kinds of debris. There were discarded instruments, dusty tables and chairs, and commonly used trolleys. These debris were piled up to block the windows. The light from the outside couldn't enter, and the light tubes on the ceiling were dim.
In the middle of the storage room, there were two different kinds of corpse storage tanks neatly placed. The original ones in the school were stainless steel storage tanks, each of them stained with dust, placed at the back. The ones in the front were the newly arrived white storage tanks. Between each cabinet, there was only space for people to walk and transport.
At a glance, there were actually fifty of those white storage tanks.
"Sigh …" Cai Zixuan couldn't help but sigh. These were 50 people who were once alive.
Gu Jun frowned. Looking at these white tanks, there was a strange restlessness in his heart.
"Hurry up, Teacher Gu and the others are still waiting." Xu Hai took the lead and walked to a white storage tank in the middle of the front row. He and Zhang Haoran each stood at one end, grabbing the handle of the storage tank's lid and lifting it at the same time. Suddenly, a strong smell mixed with formalin rushed out.
When the two saw the cadavers in the storage tank, they suddenly exclaimed in unison. "Huh?" "Come take a look."
Puzzled, Gu Jun hurried over and peered into the storage slot that was shrouded in shadows.
