Gu Jun looked into the storage tank and saw that the rectangular container was filled with a yellowish formalin solution. An adult human body was soaked in it. Looking at the shape, it was a male body. The skin was completely white because the epidermal pigment cells had been soaked in formalin.
The head, torso, and limbs were all intact, but Gu Jun immediately noticed the abnormality...
"Huh?" Cai Zixuan, who was also walking over, was shocked.
The cadaver's left upper limb was abnormal. The elbow, wrist, and fingers were all twisted as if they had been forcibly broken and pieced together. It also looked like the limbs of different creatures. This strange and unfamiliar feeling made them unable to tell what kind of pathology this was.
Was this an accident type of body? But the other parts of the body were not deformed, broken, or incomplete.
Only the left hand...
This was a malformed body.
"Uh, we are really lucky today." Xu Haixian broke the silence. "I think this cadaver has some kind of congenital malformation."
If this was really a congenital malformation, then it was caused by the abnormal development of the embryo. This kind of clear morphological and structural abnormality was especially rare among the malformed bodies. For example, conjoined twins were very rare.
And this body in front of them was even a malformation that was not in their knowledge base.
When they opened the first storage tank, they found a cadaver like this. It was like winning the lottery.
"Then this cadaver?" Zhang Haoran asked.
There were about a hundred bodies in the storage room. Based on the probability of malformation, this should be the one they wanted the most, so there was no need to open other storage tanks to disturb the peace of the deceased.
"Um, this teacher will do." Cai Zixuan agreed. He was about to go over and pull a trolley over.
But when Gu Jun looked at the malformed left hand, the indescribable feeling in his heart was getting stronger. No, he thought, something is wrong.
In the video on Li Yuerui's phone, the strange voice of him murmuring the bloody words suddenly echoed in his heart, "The fruit of darkness grows from the abyss of time, the worms of death will live with heaven and earth forever..."
The twisted and sickly left hand, the messy lines on the skin seemed to be slightly wriggling.
"Zixuan, come over and help." Gu Jun abruptly retracted his gaze and walked to the side of another storage tank. He grabbed its lid handle and forcefully lifted it up.
Puzzled, Cai Zixuan walked over and lifted the other end of the tank cover. Xu Hai could not help but be speechless. What was going on? Had he never seen a corpse before?
The smell rushed out. Gu Jun looked at the cadaver in the storage tank, and his heart suddenly jumped. It was a malformed corpse again! Moreover, it was a deformed limb. This body was also very complete, only the right upper limb was deformed into an extremely strange and disgusting shape …
"This …" Cai Zixuan was stunned. Zhang Haoran and Xu Hai opened their eyes and looked at each other.
How could it be so coincidental …
The occurrence rate of malformed remains was quite low.
"Zixuan, follow me!" Gu Jun shouted and put down the lid. He then walked to another storage slot and opened it with Cai Zixuan's help.
Xu Hai and Zhang Haoran looked at it, and a chill suddenly climbed up their spines. Even as medical students, they felt the temperature around them suddenly drop.
This was the body of a child, and its limbs were deformed. Both of its hands were in that kind of twisted appearance.
"This is impossible …" Xu Hai murmured, unable to think of a reasonable explanation.
Staring at the pale face of the dead man, Gu Jun's expression changed completely. It was as if a wave of madness had been shoved into his mind. His footsteps quickened as he went to open the other white storage tanks. He opened them one after another, one, two, three …
The faces of Cai Zixuan and the other two who were next to him gradually became pale and blank. It was as if all the knowledge they were familiar with was collapsing.
This caused them to panic from the bottom of their hearts.
When they opened more than half of the fifty storage tanks here, they found that they were all filled with deformed limbs!
Whether it was male, female, adult, or child, the body was complete, but the limbs were abnormal …
"Could it be that these dead people were exposed to nuclear radiation?" Xu Hai was still murmuring. This was the only possibility he could think of.
Gu Jun knew that it was not, or rather, he was very sure that it was not, because he had seen this kind of terrible distortion before.
It was in those laboratory illusions! The rotten and twisted corpses he saw on the laboratory floor had such limbs.
As he thought about it, his head suddenly hurt. The more he thought about it, the more it hurt. It was that feeling again … The surrounding sounds were getting farther away, and countless illusions were attacking …
An awful stench filled the air. It was dark and gloomy, and all the storage tanks were gone. All that was left was a broken pool filled with dirty and yellow formalin … He endured the pain in his head and tried his best to get a better look. There were some chains by the side of the pool, and they were connected to many chains that hung down into the pool.
The chain posts and chains were mottled with rust. It was unknown how long they had been used.
Through the murky water, he saw that every chain had a corpse tied to it. Were those creatures … humans …?
Suddenly, the water in the pool moved slightly. A corpse stretched its hand out of the water. That hand was a deformed and twisted hand …
"Tycoon Jun? Tycoon Jun? "Cai Zixuan's voice penetrated the illusion. Gu Jun suddenly shook his head and came back to his senses.
"Are you okay?" Xu Hai asked. Zhang Haoran also asked, "Should we call an ambulance?"
Everyone was a little scared by the situation in front of them, but they were not as scared as Gu Jun, so they were a little annoyed.
"I'm fine …" Gu Jun shook his head. It seemed that the triggering condition of the illusion had nothing to do with the location. It was just that he still couldn't understand the meaning of these illusions, and he didn't know where the place in the illusion was.
"What's wrong? What's wrong!? " At the door of the storage room, Lao Chui ran in with his big belly. When he saw that they had opened so many storage tanks, he immediately scolded, "Hey, what are you little bastards doing? Is it fun? Picking a wife or something … "
Lao Chui walked over while scolding. He only glanced at the corpses in the storage tanks, and his scolding stopped abruptly. The fat on his face trembled.
Although he was a manager, he was also a medical student.
"Mr. Chui, what's going on?" Xu Hai asked awkwardly.
"… What's going on? Aren't they just malformed corpses? What's the fuss?" Lao Chui said lightly, but his fat face was still tense, and his tone was much weaker. "I heard from the corpse transporters that this batch of corpses has its own uniqueness, and they told us to cherish it. It should be a concentration of malformed resources. This competition is led by the country, so there are no resources that can't be obtained. Hurry up and pick one, and put the lid back. "
Xu Hai, Cai Zixuan, and Zhang Haoran all accepted Lao Chui's statement with doubts. The higher-ups really attached great importance to this medical skills competition …
"Let's do it." Xu Hai was organizing everyone again. "We should take the first cadaver away."
Gu Jun looked at these malformed corpses. In his heart, he could already confirm that some abnormal forces were really active.
This competition was indeed the best opportunity for him to enter that mysterious world.
First, he should seize this opportunity to improve his Hands of Dexterity, and at the same time, obtain the qualification to participate in the competition from Professor Gu!
At that moment, Gu Jun opened the system in his mind, and then opened the mission list.
[Difficult Mission: Complete the dissection of 1 malformed human corpse within 3 days. Mission Reward: 1 Incomplete Anatomical Atlas]
Accept Mission
[Mission Accepted! Current Dissection Completion: 0%. Current Remaining Time: 71: 59: 58]
Remaining time? Gu Jun pondered. 72 hours? It seemed that the time limit for the difficult mission and the normal mission were different. For the normal mission, "within today" meant within 24 hours from the refresh of the mission list, while for the difficult mission, "within three days" meant within 72 hours from the acceptance of the mission.
71: 58: 59. He looked at the countdown, and his heart was a little anxious. It seemed that the next time he accepted a difficult mission, he would have to wait until the moment before accepting it.
And this time, he had to race against time.
