Volume 2 Chapter 169 The secret of bloodsucking is discovered
The drop of blood aroused Durin's hunger, and he suddenly realized that he hadn't drunk human blood for many days, and that he would have to drink at least 100 milliliters of blood for two days at most to maintain his normal state. He prepared two "instant blood dissolving packets" in the mezzanine of the rear compartment of the F150 in advance, which was a dry powdered human blood extract that he had researched himself, although the effect of relieving "thirst" was not as good as blood, but it could also be an emergency. Unfortunately, one of them broke during the car accident, and the remaining one could only be mixed with water to produce 50 ml of blood, which was not enough for him to fight "thirst".
"It seems that we can only take one step at a time. Durin sighed in his heart.
"What's wrong?" He Wenjing chased out of the cave, "You are collecting her blood to ......"
"Oh," Durin wiped his bloodied finger against the stone wall, pretending to smear blood droplets on it, "I figured out to see the concentration of blood by the light, it's all right, let's go inside." ”
He Wenjing didn't doubt it, but as a special method for Du Lin's diagnosis, he didn't ask any more questions, and followed Du Lin back to the cave.
Du Lin palpated Ji Ruoming's kidneys, in fact, the palpation was a pretense, and Du Lin was taking this opportunity to secretly analyze the information contained in this drop of blood.
This is a virus that Doolin has never seen before, and although the virus is attacking the kidneys, the pathogenesis is different from that of viral nephritis.
There are many kinds of viruses that can cause viral nephritis, and even common cold viruses are possible, but viral nephritis is generally an abnormality in the glomeruli, usually the clinical symptoms are mild, and it will not cause kidney damage, at most only a few days of proteinuria or hematuria, normal antiviral treatment, ten days and a half months will be fine.
However, this virus is different, it does not attack the glomeruli, it affects the operation of the entire kidney, so that the patient's kidney function gradually decreases, and at the same time enters the circulatory system through the blood, infects the inner ear and middle ear, causing inflammation and suppuration of the ear canal, blocking the ear canal, and finally necrosis of the inner ear.
Since the inner ear is adjacent to the brain tissue, there is a high chance that the inflammation will spread to the brain, if it causes viral encephalitis...... It's not as simple as being deaf, it's deadly.
"Bell, bell!"
Du Lin looked at He Wenjing suspiciously, "Oh, this bell is used to tell the time, because there is no day and night in this cave, and the only way to judge the night and day is to watch bats, because only they can fly outside, they go out, then it is night outside, and when they come back, it means that it is day outside." ”
Durin looked at his watch, and sure enough, it was.
He Wenjing continued, "Because many animals are diurnal and nocturnal, even in it, they also maintain this biological clock, so these spirit beast men also cooperate with their own spirit beasts, they also work at night and sleep during the day, as soon as this bell rings, the bats are back, indicating that it is daytime outside, and everyone is ready to rest." ”
"Do these bats live with people?"
"Of course not, these bats are not raised by our spirit beast sect, but wild, they live on the top of the cave in the deepest part of the cave, and there is a certain distance from us, but there are bats raised as spirit beasts in my door, and his spirit beasts always go to find those bats......" Speaking of this, He Wenjing suddenly thought of something, "I remember, among these people, the first symptom is Ji Yongnian, who uses bats as spirit animals, I will take you there." After saying that, He Wenjing pulled Du Lin towards the higher part of the stone wall.
In one of the highest caves, Du Lin met the Ji Yongnian that He Wenjing had spoken...... of corpses.
"What's going on, he was still alive when he came a few hours ago to deliver the food, but he was a little delirious, how could this ......" He Wen was quietly kind-hearted, and when he saw the doorman dying, he couldn't help but cry again.
"Second sister, where is the family of the deceased, I want to do an autopsy on the deceased to find out the cause of death, but I need to ask for the opinions of the family. ”
"Ji Yongnian has no relatives, his parents were gone many years ago, the year before last his wife had a difficult birth, and both mother and son were not saved, although it is said that the entire spirit beast gate has intermarried internally for hundreds of years, almost all of them are related to each other, but he has no immediate family anymore, I am his door master, I am the master of his house, you dissect it. He Wenjing wiped her tears.
"Then second sister, you avoid it, the autopsy process may scare you. ”
"Good. He Wenjing turned around to leave.
"Alas, wait!" Du Lin suddenly stopped He Wenjing again, "On the way here, I saw some plantain on the side of the crop field, and some dendrobium on the stone wall, can you find a few people to collect some of these two herbs, they should be able to relieve the condition, do you know plantain and dendrobium?"
"I know, I personally take people there. As soon as He Wenjing heard that there was a way to alleviate the condition of the doorman, he was in a hurry to go out.
"And!" Durin stopped her again, earnestly, "keep your distance from the others. ”
"I know. He Wenjing nodded with a solemn expression, took out the piece of linen cloth from his pocket, covered his face, and left the cave.
"I'm sorry for the deceased, you are my 'silent teacher', thank you. After saying that, Du Lin bowed to the deceased, which was a habit he developed when he was a student at Zhonghu Medical University, and before doing a pathological autopsy, or before taking an anatomy class, he must express his gratitude to the body donor.
Of course, Durin had an extra amount of gratitude to the deceased for relieving him of his urgent need.
Durin took out the knife in the needle box, slit the neck of the deceased, put his mouth against the wound, and sucked the blood in a big gulp.
Just as everything that humans eat when they are hungry is very fragrant, Doolin is also in a state of hunger now, although this is dead blood, and the blood is still full of unknown viruses, but a few mouthfuls of blood still make Doolin feel satisfied, replenishing so much human blood, at least half a month Dulin does not need to drink blood.
After a full hiccups, Durin analyzed the hallucinations in the blood, and the hallucinations were very simple, because the deceased was basically in a coma and shock before his death, and there were no special hallucinations except for a very severe headache.
Du Lin wanted to take off the corpse's clothes, but when he was stretching out his hand, he suddenly saw a small figure at the door out of the corner of his eye, and looked at it, it was Ji Ruoming who lived in isolation in the cave below.
"When did you come up?" Durin was afraid that she would see her sucking blood.
Durin is the most relaxed when he sucks blood, and it is also the time when he is the least vigilant, otherwise with Durin's super five senses, it is impossible not to detect that there is someone at the door.
Ji Ruoming didn't react, but still stared at Du Lin with a pair of big ignorant eyes.
Durin patted his head, and he forgot that the little girl was almost deaf in her ears.
He walked up to Ji Ruoming and whispered in her ear,
"When did you come up?"
"Why did you bite Uncle Yongnian when you came to bite him?
It's over, Durin secretly said in her heart that something is wrong, she sees that she is sucking blood!
