Chapter 272: Eyes
“Why, why would you succumb to despicability...” Among the sea of darkness, the growl of the thousand-eyed worm was as loud as thunder. The limbs whipped at Gu Jun’s team. The giant monster applied great pressure on them but Gu Jun saw hope through the darkness. It was a pair of brilliant blue eyes, the one that belonged to the girl nad Ellie. He gained mobility of his body again. Gu Jun picked up the two pistols that had fallen to the ground and pulled on the triggers.
Gunfire blood and bullets shot out from the barrels. They hit the worm’s head and lodged themselves around the pair of blue eyes. All 18 shots were fired, flesh and guts flew everywhere. The giant worm was stunned into temporary submission. At the sa ti, the damage caused the blue eyes to burn brighter. As the power of darkness receded, Ellie’s self-consciousness burned brighter.
“Ellie!” Gu Jun shouted, “Do not let that ugly thing control you!” The blue eyes blinked. The whole worm shivered like it was shocked. That small opening loosened the ntal grip on the rest of Gu Jun’s team. Once they struggled free, they joined Gu Jun to draw out the Ancient Seal. Being tortured so long by the sense of powerlessness, they channelled their spirit into the drawing of the ntal seal. The shimring white light cut through the darkness. As it slamd into the giant worm, there was an explosion. The flailing limbs snipped and dropped to the ground as if they were sliced through by a thousand cuts.
“Despicable worms...” A strange voice that was mixed with the sounds of many different cultists began, “Such foolishness will bring you nowhere...”
Ellie’s awakening had exposed the worm’s weakness for it ant that the other consciousness could be awakened as well. The dark energy was a fatal bacterium when it was inside the human body but the souls that it had claid could be awakened to weaken the worm in return. As more souls rose to consciousness, the faster the worm would crumble.
Gu Jun had no idea whom the eyes belonged to but he did know the nas of those recently passed. He called out, “Huang Lin, Shen Haoxuan, Huang Zuoxin, Zhang Bo, Liu Hui...” Despite his hope, he even shouted out the following, “He Feng, Mr. He! Uncle Dan! Can you hear ?” Lou Xiaoning could see so of the eyes on the giant worm coming alive with humanity...
“Profound knowledge, benevolence for the world!” Suddenly inspired, Gu Jun shouted out the vision of Eastern State dical University at the worm. “Senior Huang Lin, my na is Gu Jun.” The giant worm was once again shocked. A pair of black eyes blinked, “You are also from Eastern State University?” A blurred female voice asked.
“Yes, I’m from the 8 years clinical program.” Gu Jun said with excitent, “I finished the 3 years of theoretical study but am currently undertaking my field study, so it ans that I’ve yet to graduate.”
“8 years program...” The female voice said with so complaint, “The ones who have stolen all the perks from us.”
“Ha ha!” Gu Jun laughed as he was reminded of the days from university. The students from the 5 years program viewed them as mortal enemies, claiming that they were given more resources and easier coursework by the university. So of them were true, while others exaggerated. Back then, Gu Jun had no animosity towards the 5 years program students or rather he was too busy wasting his life away to care.
“Senior, but our overall exam score is higher than your batch so the resource is not wasted on us as you claid.” He chuckled.
“That is because your batch has access to better lecturers, better labs...” The woman said, “And you were sent to the best hospitals for your internships...”
“I suppose you’re right.” Gu Jun smiled as tears threatened to flow out of his eyes.
“Junior, actually I still dream of returning to school one day to finish a degree in veterinary study.” The voice said with so lancholy. As Huang Lin awakened, another pair of eyes blinked. “Doctor Huang, is that you?! Mom, dad!” It was Shen Haoxuan, “What’s happening... Am... Am I dead?”
“This is all my fault, I’ve infected all of you...” Huang Guoxin said with regret but his voice was soon drowned out by the others. However, Gu Jun did not hear the voices of Uncle Dan’s team so this ant that they were probably still alive. As ti progressed, more eyes blinked with consciousness. The surface of the thousand-eyed worm started to crack like it was about to explode. A voice cut through the rest with anger. “You bunch of idiots, idiots...” But it was now laced with pain.
“Senior Huang Lin,” Gu Jun said through the mist in his eyes, “I need a favor. Please help slow it down! Do not let it take over your consciousness!”
In that mont, the eyes of Huang Lin, Shen Haoxuan and the rest shone with brilliance, determination and vehence...
Gu Jun opened the dkit as fast as he could. He filled up with the syringes with different drugs, streptomycin for the black plague, dapso for leprosy, cyclomycin for cholera, illotycin for legionella pneumonia, there was not specific drug for smallpox but Gu Jun mixed up a cocktail of penicillin, rifampin, and vacocin. With multiple syringes in each hand, Gu Jun lunged at the giant worm. He plunged the needles right into the giant worm!
“Ah!” Instantly, the cultists’ voice dissolved into screams. The skin of the giant worm cracked even further. The Zoog who was cowering in the corner tapped his body in awe. “I’ve not seen a battle like this before...”
“Damn, that’s gutsy!” Lou Xiaoning praised. Kathlyn’s group was stunned while the land’s travellers looked on with passion burning for their idol. The syringes injected the drugs into the giant worm’s body. Compared to its size, these dosages were small. However, they managed to bring life back to more eyes. A part of the worm’s flesh burst into pus. Gu Jun did not retreat even when the pus and blood splashed onto him. He held onto the syringes tightly and continued to push the drugs into the giant worm. Suppressed eruptions echoed inside the worm’s body. Its shell detonated. So of the eyeballs closer to the surface blasted into the air.
“Junior.” Huang Lin’s voice rang out again. A pair of black eyes turned to look at Gu Jun as they arced through the air. The voice softened. “You’re from the 8 years program so I’m sure you can handle this and return safely. If my parents are still alive when you do, help tell them, I love them and please remind them to take good care of Dou Dou...”
“Doctor, my na is Shen Haoxuan.” Another pair of eyes flew past. The voice was filled with the shyness of youth but it was also laced with so sadness and acceptance. “Can you do a favor... I have a crush on a high school friend of mine by the na of Deng Ruotong... I was planning to confess my feelings to her after we start university...”
“Doctor...” Huang Guoxin’s eyes danced through the air. Then ca Doctor Zhang Bo and the rest. With his jaws locked, Gu Jun nodded repeatedly. The eyes of humanity floated around the room and the pair on Gu Jun dampened with tears.
‘Yes, we are just agre humans... But these despicable eyes can sotis shine with the light of God, at tis with vehence, other tis with gentleness.’
