The hand was covered in mud and blood but it gripped a scalpel tightly. It was waving slightly.
It was not a dead hand. It was a moving hand. The person was still alive.
"Gu Jun's hand?" Lou Xiaoning was stunned when she heard Deng Ximei's words. The rapid gunfire continued to ring out.
In the blink of an eye, Yu Chi completed the summoning spell. Another strange energy surged from the ground. With a shrill wail, it materialized into a strange creature. It surrounded all seven of them. The bullets hit the Byakee's broken wings and splattered blood and flesh.
"It's Ah Jun's scalpel!" Uncle Dan said in a hurry. Naturally, he recognized it. "The scream I heard seems to be coming from below …"
'Is Gu Jun trapped in the swamp? '
The veins and bones of the hand were bulging, it was clearly struggling on the edge of life and death …
However, it was still a normal-looking hand. There were no abnormalities.
"Quick, pull him up …" Yu Chi heard him as well. He wanted to rush forward to help but he was so tired that he could barely catch his breath. His fractured ribs were throbbing with pain. He almost collapsed to the ground. "Captain Gu, hang in there …"
Regardless of how Gu Jun was trapped, whether he was walking in the swamp or something else, they had to save him.
The group moved into action. Malachite, Bell Grant, and Uncle Dan surrounded the monster to see if there was any way to pull its owner out. Lou Xiaoning, Peacock, and Feng Peiqian stood guard at the side, ready to shoot any monster that came out.
Malachite tugged on the hand but the mud did not budge. The group knew that it was impossible to pull the hand out with brute force alone.
Even if the hand was dislocated or broken, the body would still be trapped in the swamp.
"Let me try." Deng Ximei frowned as she walked forward. She felt like she needed more than brute force, she needed a connection, a 'key'.
Here in the foreign world, the one who was most similar to Gu Jun was her other Spirit Child.
Everyone immediately stepped aside to guard against the gunshots around them. Deng Ximei crouched down and grabbed the bloody hand that stretched out from the swamp. Immediately, she felt as if she had been electrocuted by an inexplicable force in her mind. Her surroundings seemed to have turned upside down, and everything became unreal …
But it was also because of that that she saw the other half of the swamp, Gu Jun was there.
He was squeezed by some large flesh tubes. He could no longer breathe. Many deformed human tissues squeezed on his body and blood spurted everywhere.
Fresh blood filled up every tiny crevice. It had already reached his neck and was about to reach his mouth and nose.
"Ah Jun!" Deng Ximei called out as she pulled. Everything here could be changed, life was a form of transformation …
All of a sudden, everyone saw the rotten mud loosen, as if there was a force surging up from below. They could even hear a rumbling sound.
Whoosh! The rotten mud was washed away by a stream of water, and the blood-colored water gushed out like a fountain, forming a pillar of blood, a waterfall of blood.
The blood rushed into the air and scattered, dying the surroundings red like rain.
It was Deng Ximei who pulled, and it was also the force of the blood fountain that pulled a human figure out from the swamp. Half of the body was lying on the ground, and only half of the lower half was still stuck in the mud. That person let out a muffled cry and gasped for air with difficulty …
One could vaguely see that the man had black hair, and his face was covered in blood and torn flesh.
However, there was still a look of determination in his eyes.
"Ah Jun?" Uncle Dan hurried over to inspect the man to see if there was anything foreign in his throat.
Since they could not confirm the man's identity, Malachite and the rest did not rush to pull him out from the swamp.
"Is that really Gu Jun?" Lou Xiaoning asked urgently.
The situation was getting weirder and weirder. The gunfire on both sides had stopped. Byakee, who was covered in wounds, still blocked their view. They couldn't see what was going on.
"I think so …" Yu Chi's first pillar of support felt different, it finally came in handy.
"It's me, Gu Jun …" The man said with difficulty, "Below us is the uterine cavity of the black goat, it's the core …" His right hand had been holding the Carlop scalpel. Then he checked the medkit that was tied around his waist. The other instruments were still there.
"It's him, I can feel it." Deng Ximei gave her verdict, "Unless I'm not me."
Gu Jun did not hurry to leave the mud. He looked around at the people around him. "So, you are the reinforcement team … I heard Wu Siyu's telepathic conversation … I suspect she is using the method of dreaming to send the message, is that so?"
In the ears of the crowd, this undoubtedly greatly increased the credibility of his identity.
But there was another problem, a problem that stemmed from themselves.
And this problem kept attacking and corroding their mental pillar.
"Captain Gu, I have to explain the current situation to you …" Yu Chi held his throbbing shoulder and took a deep breath to explain the situation quickly. Uncle Dan and Feng Peiqian who were beside him added in. Yu Chi added, "Currently, there are groups of fog breakers at both the north and south, and they look exactly like us …"
"I really did not expect my face to look so perverted." Uncle Dan sighed helplessly.
"Uncle Dan, you call that coquettish …" Gu Jun did not react to that. "I've run into a few of my colleagues before. They are not clones as we know them to be, but they are a kind of abnormal organism formed from dark matter … If you see what I'm about to say, you'll understand better …" Gu Jun was not surprised.
After a pause, he added, "You do not have Alien Hand Syndrome, but you do have the projection of the foreign people, so this place can replicate you, but it cannot replicate me. My connection to the foreign world is different, and so is Ah Mei. I believe the two Deng Ximei that look the same are actually different. "
Yu Chi explained the situation inside the eight cadaver troughs. Only Deng Ximei's trough contained the carcass of an insect.
Deng Ximei listened but did not say anything. Her expression was one of confusion.
"Perhaps the torso underneath the clothes is a pile of intestines without a layer of skin," Gu Jun said darkly.
"Then how are we supposed to identify them?" Yu Chi asked urgently. The group did not have a good idea.
"There's no need to rush …" Gu Jun said, "This place is already feeling pain. It's agitation. The so-called clones will expose themselves."
He had a point, but no one expected it to come true so soon.
The surroundings suddenly shook violently. Pillars of blood spurted out from the swamp everywhere. This place continued to topple.
