Due to the 'lack of time', that night, Yu Chi had another round of negotiations with Mysterium.
Gu Jun still had no idea what was going on but reality proved that Yu Chi's position was not that low. The two departed that night. They headed for the western part of Australia. Feng Peiqian and Chen Ziyuan's team accompanied them. Over there, the Australian Security Bureau would be participating as well. This would require Mysterium's cooperation.
But be it Mysterium or the Australian Security Bureau, they had no idea what was going on, they only knew that Yu Chi was going on an archaeological expedition.
The flight was 10 hours long. Gu Jun slept soundly on the plane.
When they arrived at the Australian mainland, it was already the morning of the next day. It was the 18th of March in Mysterium World.
The two did not need to participate in the complicated negotiations, Feng Peiqian was in charge of everything. In the end, they had an additional 6 members from the Australian Security Bureau accompanying them.
Their first stop on this trip was to go to the place corresponding to the small town where Catherine lived when she was young.
Due to Mysterium World's Australia having a different road plan, this location was not next to the main road so there was no one living nearby.
It was a wasteland near the edge of the desert. Other than some sparse trees and the occasional ghost-like kangaroos, there was nothing else.
"Captain Gu, could this be the place?"
At this moment, Yu Chi stood on the barren land, surveying his surroundings.
Gu Jun stood beside him. The origin of Peacock and Malachite was still a mystery, perhaps he could solve it here.
Feng Peiqian's team was further away. They were driving 4 Land Cruisers and a medic van.
It was March, early autumn in Australia, the weather was quite hot. They were all dressed in thin T-shirts and khakis. They looked like tourists who had lost their way on their way to the beach. The wounds on Gu Jun's shoulder and stomach no longer needed bandaging. That day, he cleaned them himself and they were almost healed.
"To be honest, I have no idea." Gu Jun said, "But I have a feeling the opaline will be a guide."
What they were looking for, even they themselves had no idea.
Pnakotic City, it sounded like a city but where was it? An alternate dimension? Underground? In the sky?
"Captain Gu, have you ever wondered why it was us?" Yu Chi grumbled, "There are many other worlds, so why did we end up together? You are a doctor, and I am an archaeologist. There must be a reason for this. What use do I have? I know archaeology, and archaeology can't be separated from the study of things buried in the ground. Could it be that what we are looking for is under this piece of land? "
"It's possible." Gu Jun looked at the vast wasteland. The sky was connected to the horizon, and within his field of vision, not a single building could be seen.
Australia was vast and sparsely populated, but there were hundreds of kilometers of uninhabited areas. This scene reminded him of the Wasteland World.
If there was a city buried somewhere here, it would be difficult to find it without any clues. Moreover, they could not mobilize a large number of manpower.
That morning, as well as most of the afternoon, the two of them walked around the wasteland of this' small town 'without any results.
Not only did they use their spiritual perception, but they also used ground-penetrating radar, archaeological metal detectors, and other equipment, but it didn't work.
"This won't do …" Yu Chi tossed the equipment to the side. He pulled at his hair and beard like he was going to tear his face apart.
"This is a high dimensional signal. If the other party is a high dimensional being, the location it is pointing at is not something that our technology can detect. Perhaps it is just a piece of rock or some other technology that can block our detection …" The more Yu Chi thought about it, the more pained he felt, "What should we do, what should we do …"
Gu Jun frowned. He really could not come up with any solution. Archaeology was not his forte.
He thought back to the conversation from last night and said, "Captain Yu, the last sentence mentioned 'accept'. Something about 'binding our brains', do we still need to undo some kind of binding? How can we accept and find that place? "
"Yes, yes …" Yu Chi widened his eyes. He looked here and there, "It's the same old problem, we are too normal, too normal …"
Yu Chi suddenly roared, "Pei Qian, Pei Qian! Where is the alcohol? I want the alcohol! "
Feng Peiqian and the rest hurried over. They were confused by Captain Yu's sudden action but in the end, they obeyed his order.
Yu Chi had already considered this. If he could bring zombies with him, he would. However, both Mysterium and the Australian Security Bureau refused. Gu Jun also objected to the use of drugs like LSD. He said it was harmful and might raise the threshold of insanity. Eventually, they would lose their minds and nothing would work.
Therefore, they had to settle for alcohol, alcohol with high alcohol content!
Immediately, Feng Peiqian drove an off-road Kart over. The back of the car was filled with different kinds of alcohol. Yu Chi took out a small bottle of vodka. He opened the cap and downed half the bottle in one go. This caused Gu Jun's heart to palpitate even though he knew what Yu Chi was up to.
"Hmm …" Yu Chi's face reddened immediately. His beard was stained with alcohol. He wiped it away and was about to finish the rest of the bottle.
But at that moment, he suddenly gripped his head in pain. The bottle in his hand fell to the ground.
"Captain!" Feng Peiqian gasped.
"Don't touch him!" Gu Jun screamed. His heart raced. "Captain Yu might have seen something …"
Normally, he was the one who saw the illusion. The number of times he saw other people's illusions was small but he could see it.
"You!" As anxious as Feng Peiqian was, she believed Gu Jun had a point. She and Chen Ziyuan stopped. They watched nervously as Yu Chi staggered before collapsing to the ground. It did not take long. In less than a minute, Yu Chi suddenly took in a deep breath. Light returned to his eyes. "Ah …"
The group rushed forward but Yu Chi shoved them away. He pulled Gu Jun to the side and turned his back to them. He did not even allow them to read his lips.
"I saw it, the Phecda World …" Yu Chi's voice was hoarse and his breath reeked of alcohol. "I saw your friend, Cai Zixuan …"
Gu Jun's heart squeezed. Looks like Captain Yu's power allowed him to see the Phecda World and not just him. Before this, Gu Jun would be able to see him but now that he was here, Captain Yu would see someone else. Since Gu Jun was familiar with Zixuan through Gu Jun, Captain Yu could see Zixuan.
"He was in the surgery room, participating in an operation." Yu Chi recalled the vision. "There were many other people in protective gear. They were performing amputation on a middle-aged man, it was his right arm. The surgeon used an electric saw to cut off the arm. The nurse placed it inside a bucket. It appeared to be made of stainless steel and there was a symbol on it … "
Gu Jun frowned. Amputation? Who was the middle-aged man? The arm was placed inside the bucket after the amputation. That meant it needed to be quarantined. But why? What illness was it?
"Let me show you the symbol on the bucket …" Yu Chi squatted down and used his finger to draw out a symbol on the ground. "Yellow here, black here."
Of course Gu Jun recognized it immediately. He said darkly, "That's the symbol of radiation."
Gu Jun understood now. That was a lead bucket. Zixuan and the rest were in protective gear. The patient on the surgery table should be a patient with acute radiation sickness.
Once he understood, Gu Jun's heart sank. Nuclear explosion, the Wasteland World had just experienced a nuclear explosion and now there was a patient with acute radiation sickness at the Phecda World …
This could not be a coincidence. If it was a normal patient with acute radiation sickness, it would not have been Zixuan and the rest who performed the surgery. Phecda and the Spell Department were mobilized. That could only mean one thing, something big had happened.
And this was related to radiation sickness.
Gu Jun's heart chilled but his body was drenched in sweat.
Images of his time at the Wasteland World flashed before his eyes. Angel City and the surrounding areas were vaporized by the nuclear bomb.
How powerful was the bomb and how much radiation would it produce?
"Captain Yu, it's possible … the Phecda World and the Wasteland World have started to overlap."
When Yu Chi heard the symbol of radiation, he was jolted awake from his drunken stupor. He understood the severity of the situation.
"There's not much time left" was not just a lie. There was not much time left. Something was already extremely urgent, and something was already burning at the eyebrows.
The location of the gate to Pnakotus was still a problem but the gate to the abyss appeared to have been opened.
"Where's the alcohol?" Gu Jun stood up and kicked away the nuclear symbol on the ground. Then he strode towards Feng Peiqian's group and headed towards the off-road vehicle. With everyone watching in shock, he took out another bottle of vodka from the box. He opened it and started to gulp it down.
He had not had a drink for a long time. After parting ways with Tycoon Jun, he did not like to drink. He preferred the feeling of being sober and calm.
Furthermore, he had a history of cerebral hemorrhage. He had just left the hospital several months ago so it was not a good time for him to drink.
But like Captain Yu said, he was too normal and that was not going to work.
Gulp, gulp. Gu Jun downed half the bottle in one gulp. His esophagus felt like it was on fire. The alcohol surged through him and it caused his legs to wobble.
His vision was blurry and his head was bloated. However, it was this uncomfortable feeling that slowly turned into a sense of agitation. It was like the world had turned upside down and many things had changed …
He could even hear a voice saying, 'Come, come this way.'
"Captain Gu? Captain Gu? " Yu Chi asked suspiciously as he watched Gu Jun stumble forward with a wine bottle in his hand, heading towards the blazing sun.
Yu Chi shook his head violently and followed. "I told you, I told you, we still need to drink … drink …"
Feng Peiqian and Chen Ziyuan stood at the back. They had mixed feelings. 'Drinking is bad, Captain Yu, you finally let it slip?' 'Captain Gu? '
'Is Gu Jun a captain as well? What captain? There should be a captain among the cultists too, right? '
Everyone watched as the two drunkards swaggered off together. For a moment, they could only carry these doubts with them as they got into their off-road vehicles and followed them.
