Plague Doctor Novel

In a world silenced by an eerie quiet, where whispers echo from above and an ancient giant lurks in oceanic depths, a mysterious plague has erupted. Natural disasters ravage the Earth, plunging panicked masses into a desperate search for illusory shelters. A bloody shower falls as lightning illuminates ill-intentioned ravens croaking "Nevermore." Amidst these ominous and treacherous times, where truth and logic have crumbled, Dr. Gu Jun dissects a malformed cadaver at the medical school. He points out its twelve pairs of ribs, akin to humans, but also a unique "transverse bone" unknown to them, illustrating the abnormal thoracic structure to his students. As order warps into frenzy, humanity's only hope lies in forging ahead through the power of intelligence and wisdom.
