Chapter 76: Aliased Banyan Tree Caves

Ancient Banyan Village is a riverside colony formerly populated by nearly a thousand people. Once those low bungalows, newly built small ocean houses all had villagers, and there were some donkey tourists in the quaintly decorated tourist accommodation, with elderly people sitting under banyan trees and children and dogs running by the riverbank.

But now, silence, only a strange silence.

There were no villagers anywhere, no dogs, no cats, not even the cop rats.

However, there were more patrols from the Operations Department of the NASA in the village, and there were several newly constructed posts, guarded at all times.

The twilight sky seemed to brew a thunderstorm, with a cold mountain breeze blowing down the rocking pole on the side of the road.

Gu Jun kept looking out through the window, and the convoy passed through another fancy government building, which had also been destroyed. That was also the address of the “Cultural Tourism Zone Management Committee” of Gurong Village, where he had made a phone call...

“This ancient banyan village is one of the outbreaks of alien banyan disease.” Uncle Egg said to him, "I don't know where it came from, but it was the earliest epidemic here. ”

“Hmm...” Gu Jun implicitly said, if it was now, those villagers should be able to be cured by the medical department.

The convoy stopped just a short distance from the great banyan tree. A number of assembled barracks, connected to the homes of several surrounding villagers, became a command centre, during which some astronauts were busy walking.

Once the Hunter Squad and Gu Jun get out of the car, they meet with the members of the Abnormal Forces Investigation Team over here.

Gu Jun just stood by and looked at it. The big banyan tree in front of him was different from the tourist publicity photo. Without those green and vibrant branches and fading leaves, they all had withered grey and black colors, as if they had been dead for many years.

He noticed that a huge hole had rotted beneath the backbone of the banyan tree, which was dark and seemed to have a slight hint of light.

“Uncle Egg, is that banyan still contagious?” Gu Jun looked at the banyan tree and his hair was a little chilly. One way of spreading Isolated Banyan disease is to come into direct contact with the tree, but how the whole village got infected is a mystery.

“Yes, but we can't burn it for now. Let Xue explain.” Uncle Egg likes to sell Guan, which is not to be liked.

After a while, Xue Ba came over after talking to the Investigation Department, “Arjun, do you know the Pitulas River Hand Cave? ”

Gu Jun seemed to have an impression, but couldn't say, “I don't know...”

“Simply put, it is a mural in a cave in a narrow valley in Argentina, painted by ancient humans, most famous for its dense handprints.” Xue Baobao came like a teacher lecturing, but his soul fight was really inconsistent with learning Baobao.

Gu Jun frowned slightly and Shelberton was in a bit of a hurry: “Really, I mean it! I don't believe you. ”

Uncle Egg squeezed his eyebrows behind him and gave Gu Jun a heads-up. Don't rush Captain Xue. This guy cares about his image.

“I believe I've heard of it before.” Gu Jun nodded, “What's the relationship? ”

“Look at that banyan tree.” Xue Ba handed Gu Jun a military telescope, "right there in the rotten tree hole. ”

Gu Jun took the telescope and pointed it at it. Now you can clearly see it. Right around the tree cave, there are some messy fingerprints on the gray bark. It also seems to be a naturally occurring stripe of bark. The pair looks like they are struggling...

He looked up, “Are those the villagers' handprints? ”

“No, the survey team compared the samples. There were 16 fingerprints, none of them matched.” Shelberton, with a slight confusion in his rigid face, "16 fingerprints, 16 people, this is the maximum current capacity of Banyan Tree Cave space. ”

“Banyan cave space?” Gu Jun, don't you mean the tree hole? There's no way to squeeze 16 people in there.

“There's an anomaly inside.” Sheba said directly, turning to look for which member, "the research department is going crazy, Lin Mo, come and explain! ”

Lin Mo, a researcher on the team, was in his thirties, and he was called but didn't walk over, just gave the team leader a middle finger.

“Heh heh.” Xue Ba enjoyed himself, which explains to Gu Jun: “Einstein came and I don't know what to expect. You know wormholes, wormholes can distort space-time, and there's a theory that you can go through wormholes and go somewhere else. That banyan hole is like a wormhole, and there's another space inside. ”

Xue Ba spoke softly as if he were talking about a yard behind his house.

It doesn't seem to me at all how this and this affects the world's perception.

It exults countless scientists, and it collapses countless scientists.

Wormhole? Gu Jun looked at that deep and unpredictable banyan hole and his heart beat a little too fast...

“Told you.” Uncle Egg over there laughed. This was not something that G-level personnel had the right to know, which is why Gu Jun was so special.

Now, Gu Jun listens to them in detail.

Immediately after the disease in the village of Gubang was discovered and controlled, the investigation department discovered this alarming situation. The three metres around the great banyan tree became a strange area, with confusion in magnetic fields, gravity, etc.

As a result, several departments, including the Investigation Department, the Research Department and the Operations Department, jointly formed a "Gubanyan Village Emergency Response Team” and called on their team of Warcraft Hunters to support them.

Xue Ba used his phone to broadcast some images to Gu Jun.

At first, the emergency response team used remotely piloted robots, drones and other machines to explore the Banyan Tree Cave, but the signal broke as soon as it went in. Later they figured out that the signals outside could not enter the different spaces, but that the ground wave radios could be transmitted from inside, but only this command centre could be received due to the severe decay.

Then there was the experimental animal, but it went out of control, and a few days later it starved —— the calorimeter signal and the people who came in later confirmed that.

“Animals are equipped with cameras and audio recording equipment, but this is how images and images are captured and transmitted...”

Xue Ba showed Gu Jun some pictures and videos, all of which distorted the obscure and unnameable appearance, "The researchers tried to recover, no. ”

A week ago, for the first time, the emergency response team tried to get the living in, and it was the team of the hunters who took the risk.

There were still some operations personnel, but there was only one more person, and it was at this time that the “capacity” of Banyan Tree Cave was discovered.

“When we went in, we found...” Shelby remembered the visions of the difference, "there. ”
