Pulled by a huge force, Gu Jun fell into an unknown place, his eyes could still be opened, and what he saw was fleeting and strange.

It's a bit like traveling through a passage in a dreamland, but... it's different.

The surroundings seem to be crushing him. He doesn't know his expression at the moment, but his heart is clenched tightly, the blood vessels all over his body are swollen and protruding, his head is swollen, and the wounds on his shoulders and abdomen that have just been simply bandaged are about to burst open. go…

How long this state lasted, he didn't know, it seemed to be a long time, and it seemed to be just a moment.

bang bang! There was a dull sound of a heavy object falling to the ground. It was Gu Jun himself, hitting the hard ground heavily, "Ah..."

The glaring light hit his eyes, he squinted his eyes slightly, and looked around. The scorching sun was in the sky, and the clouds were thin. It seemed that it was still mid-day, and all around him were dry and barren brown-yellow land, cracked into pieces. , not a single weed can be seen.

This extremely desolate scene made Gu Jun's pores shrink, and he quickly came back to his senses.

He supported the ground and stood up slowly. The soil was very hard. It should have been a long time since it rained here, and all the water had dried up.

Gu Jun has been to many desolate places, such as deserts and wastelands in the dreamland, but he has never seen anything more desolate than this place. He opened his eyes and searched for a long time, and there was really not even a little grass and dead trees, and there were almost no stones. No, only finely cracked dry soil.

"Where have I been?"

In the watercolor of the salty rain? No, it seems that the cross symbol used the painting as a medium to construct a passage.

"Is this...another world?" Gu Jun had this idea, but the gravity and light here did not make him unbearable, and he was not even unfamiliar, but the air was very turbid and hot, and the oxygen content did not seem to be high. He took a deep breath, which made his lungs even more uncomfortable.

He checked his injury first, but fortunately, the wound did not ooze blood, and he was still able to walk around.

Then, taking advantage of the sun now, I measured and judged the direction.

But now it seems meaningless to know which side is east, west, north and south, because both sides look the same, lifeless and dilapidated.

"Is anyone there?" Gu Jun said, without yelling, he just assumed that someone was watching him around, and he had a conversation with him: "I'm here, I heard you Are you the ones who brought me here? Please show up."

But he seemed to have just talked to the air, and there was silence all around, except for the hot wind that kept blowing, there was no response at all.

The scorching sun seemed to be roasting the earth, and it was already half-cooked. After standing for a while, Gu Jun was already sweating from the heat, especially the two wounds covered with gauze, which were sweltering and uncomfortable. It is easy to get inflamed.

He took off his mud-stained jacket, stuffed it into his backpack, and saw that there was a 550ml bottle of mineral water, three compressed biscuits, and some snacks.

That's all the food he has now. With the current environment and situation, he must consider the issue of supplies.

Because I don't know how long it will take to get out of this wasteland.

"I'm from Dongzhou, so let's go east."

Gu Jun made a decision, took the scalpel to defend himself, and walked eastward, his mind was churning.

On the other side of the earth world, am I missing now? That watercolor painting is not here, everyone should be able to find it, there are no other clues other than that, but the bureau will definitely do a blanket search... He remembered that he had told Wu Shiyu soon, so he couldn't help laughing wryly at himself. That's a fg.

Whether he can go back now is unknown.

And the unknown phantom of the witch...

Thinking of these, Gu Jun's heart was heavy, he had to figure it out, and he had to go back.

"Maybe this is still the earth?" He looked at the sky, and at night, he looked at the stars, and it would be clear.

Gu Jun walked in a straight line for about an hour and about 5 kilometers, but the surrounding scene remained unchanged. He stopped to rest for a while, drank some water, and then continued walking. After another hour, the wasteland still looked dry.

But in the third hour, he didn't know if it was luck or not, he finally saw something different, just at the far end.

"There is a flag!" Gu Jun looked at it, and there was a pillar or pole standing on the ground over there, and a flag was flying on it.

He misses the telescope very much now, there is not much water, and the wasteland does not know how big it is, if you miss it, you will not be able to find it.

Maybe it's a trap, maybe it's a turning point, no matter what, he can only approach slowly while keeping an eye on his surroundings to see what's going on.

Gradually, Gu Jun walked another half a kilometer, and his gaze became condensed... It was not a flag, but some tattered clothes tied to an iron pillar, and just below that, there was a black iron cage also hung on the iron pillar Come on, there seems to be someone in the cage...

He came a little closer, and vaguely saw that the cage was indeed a human, a dead one.

It was a kneeling shriveled corpse with its hands tied behind its back. Under the scorching sun, it was almost completely decomposed, leaving only pale bones in many places.

"It seems to be a human being." Gu Jun is very familiar with the human body. Even from such a long distance, he can tell that it is a human body structure, a Homo sapiens.

Where is this? He looked around again, this was by no means a friendly place, what was hidden behind the barrenness was sinister.

At this moment, his eyes found something, a piece of paper stuck between a crack in the dry soil over there. He walked over to pick it up, and his brows frowned in surprise. It was an old and faded public welfare poster, which was still in good condition, but it was stained with mottled and old blood.

In the poster is the background of the ocean, with two dolphins swimming, and a slogan printed in Chinese on it: "Protect the ocean, cherish the homeland"

Gu Jun's mind became even more confused. He looked at this poster and the corpse in the iron cage in the distance.

Is this the poster that the dead man brought? Traveled to this world like him

Or is this the earth

The deceased looked like he was starved to death in a cage. Who did this, and why...

Suddenly at this time, there was a rumbling and piercing sound coming from a distance, it was the sound of a car engine, getting louder and closer.

When someone came, Gu Jun's heart sank, but he had already prepared for this, and he had been guarding against whether the "flag" was a bait for a long time. Is someone robbing and killing passers-by? If he was caught, would he be the next person to be locked in that cage

There was nothing in the surrounding area, and it couldn't be covered, and it couldn't run away. Gu Jun had already seen the car coming from Hulong. It was a broken and strange assembled car.
