Plague Doctor

Chapter 1: Spikes under the sea

People live in the world, how important is money?

Every time I talked about this issue before, Gu Jun would say it was very important.

"I can tell you that there is only one disease in the world, and that is poor disease."

Gu Jun still remembers three years ago, when he was just 18 years old, and he received the admission letter of the eight-year master's degree and continuous reading of the clinical medicine major of the top five national medical school of Dongzhou University. At the graduation party, what did he say about this classic movie line?

Is not desolate, but full of enthusiasm, the way a life winner is about to dominate the world.

A stubborn disguise ... and sadness that no one knows.

Yes.

For orphans who received their parents ’death at the age of ten, the five million yuan in compensation is the only economic source and the only spiritual support for Gu Jun ’s life in the next decade.

This money is managed by the trust fund first, after reaching the age of 18, he can freely control all inheritance.

Has no relatives, but he still has money!

Of course, there is only money left.

"Tu Haojun", this is a nickname secretly given to him by university classmates, revealing love and teasing.

Is generous, a variety of eating, drinking and entertaining guests, trenches. These are his only advantages in school.

Probably the college entrance examination exhausted the spirits of his life, and he felt that his determination to his mother "I want to be a doctor when I grow up!" Is meaningless. After entering the university, he completely lost his energy.

He changed from a schoolmaster to a school scum. His homework either hangs in the subject or has just passed the qualification line. In addition to fun or play on weekdays, he reverses day and night.

After a long time, the professors threw away all expectations of him, and the counselor gave up. Many students saw him and detoured. Everyone said that people like Gu Jun, except for the humiliating Dongda's door lintel, had no drama, and they would only be abandoned together with him.

Gu Jun did not have any rebuttal, because he knew in his heart that everyone was right, he was a bastard, and he planned to continue to mix.

Until half a year ago.

Gu Jun received the second bad news in his life.

Him, brain stem tumor.

And it is medulloblastoma, a kind of brainstem tumor with the highest degree of malignancy, and his condition is no chance of surgery.

Even if there is an operation opportunity, postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy, the average survival time of patients is 0.9 years, less than one year.

At that moment, Gu Jun, who had been languishing for two and a half years, seemed to be drowned by a pot of cold water, and he was completely awake.

Tu Jun is dead, Gu Jun is back.

He started to cheer up and healed actively. It's just that the brain stem is the nerve center of the human body and has always been called the "exclusion zone for surgery". At that time, he ran across many cities and countries, but he didn't find any hospital that dared to operate on him.

After three months of seeking medical treatment without success, and after searching the world's latest medical information on brain stem tumors, Gu Jun accepted the fact that he had no medicine to save and he could not cure with money.

Subsequently, he made two decisions.

First, buy a set of luxury cruise ship tickets, departing from Dongzhou, passing through Malacca, and arriving directly at the Indian Ocean. Seize the last time, in this hot summer vacation, go to the place where your parents worked before and fulfill this childhood wish. If you are not dead, continue to travel around the world.

Secondly, only a few tens of thousands of dollars were left, and all the remaining 1 million yuan was donated to the Swan Children ’s Hope Fund for orphan education.

If there is an afterlife, do something good and hope to cast a good tire.

"Hello, Mr. Gu, we have arrived at the Longkan submarine volcanic belt. The deep diving project you booked is ready. Please go to the boat ladder to dive within half an hour."

The sweet voice of a waitress pulled Gu Jun, who was sitting in a daze in the open-air cafe on the top deck, back from his thoughts.

"Okay." He nodded, "I can go by now." Yili gave her a tip.

The waitress accepted the tip, and the smile became brighter. This Mr. Gu was handsome, shot and bold, so he would always be happy to serve. She smiled: "Mr. Gu, please come with me . "

At the moment, Gu Jun followed the waitress to the lower deck of the ship, looking at the surrounding sea, and had mixed feelings.

Is this the place where my parents had an accident?

Gu Jun didn't like the sea when he was a kid. Because he could not always understand, as the father of the scientific investigation ship "Seabird" and the mother of the doctor on board, why did he stay at sea for many years, but threw him to the guardianship institution to care for?

What are they studying? Is it really more important than their children?

That **** Sanwu research company, except for the sentence "The Seabird sank in a storm, and it was determined that the whole ship was sacrificed" and threw down 5 million. Soon, the company closed.

What happened in those days?

The sea surface is deep blue, and the waves are constantly tossing, covering the past.

Gu Jun sometimes even thinks, is the parent really dead? Maybe they did not die in the shipwreck, but fell to a desert island waiting for rescue?

Or ... just sinking in the sea?

Because he wanted to find the answer, he booked this deep-dive project at a high price: tourists enter a boat-shaped submersible that can dive to the depth of 2000 meters, and watch the volcanic zone under the sea through the window. This is not a standard item on the ticket, but a special offer for the rich. Because the cost of a dive is high.

When he came to the side of the boat ladder, there were more than ten steps away. Gu Jun saw that there were three young tourists, two men and one woman, besides the captain and other crew members.

"Dear viewers, here is the legendary Longkan submarine volcanic belt!" One of the young men in their early twenties was holding a mobile phone and seemed to be engaged in live broadcasting. He was dressed in bells and whistles and had a grandiose explosive head, as if it were Reggae style.

Gu Jun heard him mysteriously introduce to his mobile phone: "The local indigenous tribe called it" Hamkanaba ", which means" Abyss Demon "..."

The other man was a few years older, a tall muscular man with a pink vest on his upper body and exposed two thigh-like arms. He was impatiently asking the captain, "How long will it take?"

And the woman looks the youngest, that is, 16 or 7 years old, tall and tall, with a pretty face. She wore a fashionable jacket and shorts, all in military green, a pair of chopsticks with long legs was very eye-catching, and there was a large tattoo on her left calf. I didn't know if it was really posted.

She was the first to notice that Gu Jun was here, but her eyes were cold and arrogant, and she moved a sabre in her hand, looking like a stranger.

"This is the case. This dive was originally ordered by another guest first." The old captain explained awkwardly and suddenly said with joy: "Ah, Mr. Gu came so soon!"

The waitress left at the signal of the captain, and Gu Jun continued to walk in the face of everyone's eyes.

The old captain began to introduce. The reggae man is Li Lerui, the muscular man is Wu Dong, and the female uniform is Lin Xiaotang. They are all "superior VIPs" of the cruise ship-the captain hinted with his eyes that the family's powerful son-in-law is absolutely not offended.

Originally wanted to rent a speedboat to play in the nearby waters, but they saw the submersible here, so they also requested to participate in deep diving. The submersible has a total of seven seats, two operators plus one safety officer account for three, and the remaining four tourist seats have been taken by Gu Jun.

Because the submersible will undergo various safety tests after each dive, according to the itinerary of the cruise ship, there is only one dive opportunity this month. And the three uncles were so interested, so the captain had to negotiate with Gu Jun. Will the four share the cost and seat of this dive equally? It's better to be alone than Lele.

"Yes." Gu Jun shrugged and said, since there is space, it doesn't matter.

"But ..." Wu Dong, a muscular man, was still a little unhappy.

And Li Lerui, the reggae man, has been there all the time, so he's busy broadcasting live, and he didn't participate.

Gu Jun looked at the girl in the military uniform, and she was a little puzzled. She felt that she had seen her ... Is it on the cruise ship these days?

"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaotang was looked at by him in such a pass, and immediately glared back very unhappy, with a very fierce expression.

"Look at you." Gu Jun said.

He was so direct, Lin Xiaotang was a little choked, "You ..."

"You choose yourself, anyway, I don't mind everyone on the same boat." Gu Jun glanced at the next three people with a smile, and took the lead down the boat ladder, no matter how much. Shortly after he died, he had the advantage of dealing with people and things now, and he calmed down a lot.

"Hello boy, stop!" Wu Dong shouted, hopping, "Come back, come back!" But Gu Jun didn't stop.

And Li Lerui did not know when he ran down the boat ladder to chase, one hand still patted on the mobile phone, the other hand hugged Gu Jun's shoulder, a familiar smile said: "Old iron, don't mind ha Wu Dong ’s guy is a sand sculpture, a rough man. Well, look at me in this live broadcast room. Every time Wu Dong appears, the audience will frantically brush 'Tie Han'. "

"Tie Han Han." Lin Xiaotang walked past Wu Dong angrily.

Wu Dong was really depressed, scratching his head, "Obviously you said you want to act in secret!"

Uh, aren't you broadcasting live? How to act secretly? Gu Jun didn't understand.

Dragged on for a while, and finally everyone put on a protective equipment under the guidance of the operator and entered the submersible to sit down. There are four rows in front and back of the tourist seats. Gu Jun sits at the 1st position, Li Lerui at the 2nd position on the right, Lin Xiaotang at the 3rd position, and Wu Dong at the 4th position.

Soon, the hatch of the submersible was closed, and the dive started, and they were wrapped in blue to black water, 200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters ...

At this time, Gu Jun, who had been looking out the window, heard the three men whispering and discussing something.

"Are you sure you are in this sea area?" Wu Dong asked.

"I really don't know how credible this news is ..." Lin Xiaotang's tone was full of doubt.

"You don't believe me, I believe that guy. What I heard is that here ... But the sea bottom is so big, it depends on our luck if it can be photographed." Li Lerui said yes, there is no signal on the sea bottom to support live broadcast. , But he continued to take videos with his mobile phone.

Gu Jun understands that they are here to explore. These days, the Internet has always been full of bizarre rumors. There have been many sea monster sightings, but there has never been any reliable evidence. Occasionally, several photos or blurry videos have been sent out, and they have all been proven to be fake .

But with the contact of these three people, the "news" they heard ... shouldn't they refer to those online rumors?

"Audiences." Li Lerui took another video. "Look at how dark it is. We have dived more than 1,500 meters, not far from the bottom of the sea." In order to make the shooting clearer, he simply untied his seat belt Get up and lean to the edge of the cabin to take pictures outside the window.

"Mr. Li, please come back to your seat and sit well, so dangerous, there are a lot of undercurrents under the sea ..." the old captain weakly advised.

"Soon soon." Li Lerui made an OK gesture and continued to shoot: "If it is not in a submersible, humans will be flattened by deep sea pressure ..."

Gradually, Gu Jun ignored them. Looking through the light of the searchlight, he looked at the rugged seabed hazyly visible outside the adjacent window. He was looking forward to seeing a dilapidated shipwreck.

But I was afraid to see such a scene ...

I do n’t know if it was a hallucination caused by a brainstem tumor attack. He suddenly noticed that the seabed over there protruded a half-human peak, like a rock, but he seemed to see its surface covered with carvings, various Lines and patterns ...

The more he looked, the more he felt that the carvings had become eccentric, as if blood-colored magma was flowing.

Is deformed, sick, but full of vitality, even the darkness is burned.

嘭! ! Suddenly with a sudden jerk, the magma seemed to be rushing straight out, flooding him violently without any response from him.

...... It hurts! ! !

Gu Jun groaned, covering his head with both hands, and the pain was about to explode, and he was cold and sweating instantly.

What are these illusions ... Countless indescribable sights poured into his mind, weird, terrible, crazy, unspeakable ... It hurts, it hurts! He felt that his eyes were bleeding, blood was red, he saw the storm, saw a huge figure ... rising from the sea ...

"There is a vortex, there is an abnormal vortex!" It seemed to hear the old captain shouting in panic, "Float immediately !!! Go back, go fast !!!"

The submersible suddenly bumped violently. Fortunately, everyone was fixed on the seat, but ...

Gu Jun seemed to hear Li Lerui's screaming again, "Ah!" And Lin Xiaotang's exclaimation, "Arui !?"

Ding Ding, seems to hear a mechanical sound in his mind ...

"Binding to the host ... Binding successful ... Detecting the host ..."

What ... Gu Jun's consciousness is a little vague, but he can clearly see a system interface in his mind.

"The host medical report is released, please check."
