The scorching sun beat down on the desert. Gu Jun led Peacock and the rest to walk around the transmission tower. They found 57 headless bodies arranged in a sort of spiral pattern. During this period, Gu Jun told them not to touch any of the bodies, that was how many infections were caused.
At that moment, they snapped a few branches from the surrounding trees.
Malachite, who was at the front, used a branch to poke at the shoulder of an adult male body. Then he said with suspicion, "I think I've touched a rock."
Gu Jun used another branch to do the same. He understood instantly. The body looked like a dried corpse. No matter how hard he tried, he could not budge it at all.
Peacock and the rest tried the same thing. It was the same when they tried to push the other bodies. Even if they were children's bodies, it was useless to push them away together. These headless bodies seemed to be connected to the earth.
"Have these people turned to stone?" Kathlyn gasped.
"That's impossible." Celes Wong had some knowledge about this. "The main components of stone are silicate and silica. It is impossible for a human body to turn to stone."
Peacock and Malachite were reminded of something. Petrification? The legend said it could turn a person into stone, was that it …
"It's not possible on Earth." Gu Jun looked around. "But this is a twisted space, we still do not understand the laws of this place."
The group was silent. Suddenly, they saw a dark blue car drive by on the road.
"What is that?"
"Is it someone else?"
"We'll go take a look. Be careful." Gu Jun said as he hurried back to the road. After the mental corruption rate dropped, his legs were much more agile.
He had a very important question. Was he tricked into this space or was he an innocent passerby? Perhaps he would get the answer.
When they got back to the side of the road and stood waiting, they saw the same car coming up behind them. It was the same dark-blue GM three-seater.
"Hey!" Kathlyn waved to stop the car.
Sitting in the car was a white family, it was Mr. and Mrs. Jackson and their 6 or 7 year old daughter, Holly. This family was just passing by. They were not even heading to Warrington but they appeared to have returned to this place. Catherine immediately told the couple about the situation.
"You must be joking …" Mr. Jackson refused to believe it. He was wary of the masked man, so he continued to drive the car forward.
However, not long after, the family came back here again. Once, twice, thrice … Reversing the car and driving back, they also arrived at the abandoned car pile.
After the Jacksons, other cars were also trapped. There were five sedans and a large truck. Three nervous families, two pairs of nervous but excited couples, and a truck driver who was constantly cursing. There were 18 more people trapped here.
A strange gust of wind blew from the direction of the small town. Eighteen yellow secret talismans fell with the wind, one for each newcomer.
As Gu Jun watched the situation unfold, he could basically confirm that the answer was that he was just passing by … or that the black shadow had sent him here.
These people were noisy and panicked. They continued to drive, and those who wanted to leave continued to drive. Someone screamed when they found the corpses. The couple covered in tattoos immediately took out their phones to take pictures and upload them online to show off. Catherine, Annie Ho and the rest tried to persuade them not to touch the corpses because they might be infected with germs.
The three families with children behaved themselves but the truck driver and the two couples refused to listen. The tattooed couple was especially arrogant.
"Don't think you know anything." The bald tattooed man purposely used his foot to nudge one of the corpses. "You're just trapped here earlier!"
"Don't mind him, stay away from him." Gu Jun told Catherine and the rest to stay away from the bald tattooed man. Then he told the couples, "Stay away if you don't want to die."
Gu Jun naturally hoped that the innocent would be safe, but he could not communicate with those who refused to listen to reason. Conflict would only worsen the situation. Especially since this was Australia, there was no guarantee that any of these people had guns in their cars.
What was going to happen here? What was the situation at the Spell Department? Were the two parties related?
There was no signal on the phone so he could not contact Wu Shiyu or the others. Gu Jun walked to the side and tried to open the cotton candy dream in his mind. He opened the door to the small theatre to let the audience in. Then the sweet dream played out. He called again and again, "Wu Siyu, Dirty-minded Yu!"
But there was no answer. The figure in the audience did not come into focus.
'Dirty-minded Yu, how are things on your side?'
The anxiety in Gu Jun's heart grew heavier. The faces of his friends and seniors flashed across his mind.
…
'The voice was not salty. He mentioned Dreamlands but it felt wrong …' Wu Shiyu realized the more he said it, the more he sounded crazy to others.
Xue Ba's attitude was, "We weren't afraid before when we didn't understand spells, now that we do, we won't be afraid." Lou Xiaoning was confident in the firepower, "We have snipers, drones and missiles." Cai Zixuan even took the time to remind the canteen what kind of soup to cook, "When Tycoon Jun returns tonight, we'll be able to drink it."
"What if it's really him?" Wang Ruoxiang repeated, "Gu Jun saved me in the nightmare, I owe him."
She did not manage to convince anyone but it was the other way around. Ah Jun said the more people the better, she might be the key to this.
Kangaroo told them not to trust anyone … but in this situation, the emergency number could not be reached …
Wu Shiyu could only take the risk of trusting Tong Ye. He said half-heartedly, "Actually I've already contacted Gu Jun, it was last night … The timing might be coincidental but it's real! This is the real deal! He has his own plan, we don't need to open the channel. "
"Shi Yu, I understand how you feel." Tong Ye sighed, "There is something strange about this. Why didn't Ah Jun tell me about my dream? Yes, there is. But do you think I should stop them from taking the risk? That could be Ah Jun! The Spell Department is meant to be at the forefront, everyone is ready to take on the challenge. "
"I really did contact him, I even called him but he did not say anything … and there is a reason for that …"
She explained more and more to Elder Tong, including the kangaroo's request to keep it a secret.
But after much thought and investigation, Tong Ye still did not fully believe her. "Your explanation is one possibility, the voice's explanation is another, they are all possibilities. Unless you can get Ah Jun to talk to me directly, only then will I stop the mission. But based on what you said, we do need to be careful. If that happens, Zheng Jialiang will not be allowed to carry a gun and the Action Department will be mobilized from the headquarters to enforce martial law. "
Wu Siyu sighed helplessly. She understood that it was normal for Elder Tong to be suspicious when the information was not on the same level.
But the phone could not be reached. She wanted to collapse to the ground, 'Dirty-minded Jun, I'm sorry, I'm stupid, I'm lazy, I can't stop them from saving you …'
'Stop them? Only one chance? Perhaps? She came up with an idea that was not really a solution … She had her own mission.
Night fell but the phone still could not be reached. It was time for the suicide squad to depart.
"I've thought it through, I might be the key." Wu Shiyu told Wang Ruoxiang, "I want to join."
