Chapter 14: Corpse man

Views:

This is not the first time that Gu Jun has visited the body storage room of Jujie Building.

In the past, one or two days before the last round, the teacher would assign these boys to come here to work in their spare time, and move the remains required for dissection called "General Teacher" to the refrigerated storage box of the laboratory dissection table.

There are always various legends circulating about this place, such as medical dogs carrying corpses in the middle of the night, or coming here to sleep and practice gallbladder, none of which is true.

For medical dogs like them, the threshold of fright has already been raised by various human specimens and experimental animal corpses, and walking into the body storage room does not feel particularly scary. In the past, some students even stood by the dissecting table while eating breakfast, watching others perform the dissection.

That's not Gu Jun, nor Cai Zixuan. Although they like to maximize the value of experimental animals, they never treat the silent general teacher with any childishness or profanity, only respect and seriousness.

During the ceremony of silence before the first anatomy class, Gu Jun shed tears. He knew that some of these general teachers came from body donors, and some came from unknown corpses that were not claimed. At that time, he thought of his missing parents.

Now on the way to the body storage room, Gu Jun obviously felt the difference in the atmosphere.

Along the corridor, there were more unfamiliar faces. Although they were also wearing white coats and medical masks, they didn't look like school personnel—they were wearing uniform black military boots, and they made a rattling sound when they walked, as if they were stepping on people's hearts, which was very heavy.

And these people didn't even look at Gu Jun and the others, they just walked straight past.

"Who are these guys?" Xu Hai looked at his companions suspiciously, Cai Zixuan was about to scratch his head, but he also didn't know.

But when Gu Jun saw another group of people coming from the other side of the corridor, he suddenly understood, "It's the corpse transporter."

Corpse man? This name suddenly popped up from his mind, and he said it, with a strangeness that he couldn't explain clearly.

The three of Cai Zixuan also saw that the group of black army boots were pushing transport carts one after another, and each cart had a rectangular storage tank painted with white paint, like a coffin. Even at a distance, the strong smell of formalin already made their eyes uncomfortable.

The four stood aside, letting the convoy of people pass first.

Just like those people just now, this group of people walked by without squinting, as if they didn't exist.

But it was indeed the first time they had seen "The Corpse Man."

How is this going? Xu Hai and Zhang Haoran were discussing in muttering.

Even at Dongdae University, the school's general teacher resources have been very tight for a long time, and there is a strict teaching ration. Before each corpse enters the school, it has a clear and definite purpose, no more and no less. Now suddenly the city-wide competition is going to be held above, and the 12 groups of Pioneer Cup students have to do anatomy training, which of course requires additional general teachers to support, so these corpse transporters will appear.

"This inference is reasonable, but..." Gu Jun murmured, always feeling that things are not just like this...

His heart suddenly seemed to be struck by lightning, and the dark clouds were broken, and he thought of why! On these people, on their faces that were mostly covered by masks, he felt the same coldness as the man who followed him.

Who the hell are these guys...

After waiting for a while, the team of corpse transporters pushed the empty carts back and passed by again, and the long white troughs had disappeared.

Gu Jun deliberately looked at these people carefully, but still couldn't see anything.

"Let's go, let's go." Xu Hai immediately urged everyone to hurry up, "We came at the right time."

You know, the quality of teachers generally varies. Many of the remains came from the scene of the tragic accident, some were broken into several pieces, and some were swollen into a ball. Just like Gu Jun and his team in the 3rd clinical class once dissected a corpse. When the abdomen was cut open, the organs inside were all rotten, obviously internal injuries caused by a serious car accident.

However, if you want to learn anatomy well and quickly, you cannot do without high-quality remains.

Therefore, there has always been a tacit battle between classes and between classes and groups. Those boys who are responsible for moving the corpses, of course, will always assign high-quality general teachers to their groups.

With a well-structured head on the dissecting table, let alone how many people can envy and hate it.

But not every time there will be good luck, the teacher will reassign.

And now there are 5 people in their group, plus Gu Jun, there are only 6 people, and they have the opportunity to dissect a whole general teacher! It just happened to be in time for the corpse transporter to bring the general teacher fresh. As Xu Hai walked, he couldn't hide his excitement: "We have to choose the best body, such a rare opportunity."

Yes, this is a rare opportunity. Gu Jun thought, as long as he can find the deformed body, he can complete that difficult task.

"We should have chosen a deformed body," he said, not a bad proposition.

"Yes, yes, yes." Cai Zixuan immediately nodded like a chicken pecking rice, "If there is a deformity, choose the deformity."

Of course Xu Hai and Zhang Haoran also understand that Tuhao Jun finally got it right, although integrity is good, deformity is the most precious.

During the conversation, the four of them came to the front desk outside the body storage room, and finally saw a familiar face. The front desk administrator, Lao Cui, was a middle-aged man with a beer belly. His face was full of oil, and he looked like a Hu Tuhu with the pictures in "Fan Jinzhongju" in the Chinese document.

"Teacher Cui." Xu Hai scrambled to negotiate, "Teacher Gu asked us to come."

"I know, I know, Professor Gu greeted me." Old Cui looked at his phone without raising his head, playing with Xiao Xiaole, "Go in by yourself, I won't help you. The school's original, today's New arrivals, all remains can be used.”

"Teacher Cui, what are the backgrounds of those corpse transporters just now?" Gu Jun asked.

"I don't know." Old Cui said angrily, "Everyone with a bad face, what background can they have, and if they have background, they won't do this job."

Gu Jun is silent, but that is not necessarily the case. For example, most administrators are ordinary people, but some librarians are powerful existences.

Over there, Xu Hai has hurriedly opened the iron door of the storage room, urging them to hurry up, and Gu Jun followed him in.

Even though they were all wearing tight masks, they were still shocked by the very strong smell of formalin.

The storage room is very spacious, and the surrounding walls are full of various sundries, including discarded instruments, dusty tables and chairs, and commonly used trolleys. These sundries are piled up to block the windows. The light can't get in, and the light pipes on the ceiling are dark and dark.

In the middle of the storage room, there are two different storage tanks for storing corpses neatly placed. The original storage tanks in the school are stainless steel storage tanks, each of which is full of dust, and are placed in the back; while the storage tanks in the front are the newly arrived white paint storage tanks, leaving only pedestrians and transporters between each cabinet. Space.

At a glance, there are actually fifty white paint storage tanks.

"Alas..." Cai Zixuan couldn't help sighing, these are fifty people who were once alive.

Gu Jun frowned, looking at these white tanks, he felt a strange restlessness in his heart...

"Hurry up, Mr. Gu and the others are still waiting." Xu Hai walked up first, and when he reached a white paint storage tank in the middle of the front row, he and Zhang Haoran stood at one end, holding the handle of the storage tank cover and uncovering it at the same time. Suddenly, a strong smell mixed with formalin rushed out.

The two of them looked at the general teacher in the storage tank, and immediately exclaimed in unison, "Huh?" "Come and see."

Gu Jun walked up quickly suspiciously, and looked into the shadowy storage tank.
