Chapter 175: Meerkat Snake
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Snakes are not social animals, and it would be quite bizarre and weird if multiple snakes came together to do something.
At the beginning, because of the meteorite outside the sky, snakes gathered, which is recognized as a strange event. Now that they are besieging the barracks, it is even more bizarre.
Although venomous snakes are scary, there are very few species of venomous snakes that actively attack humans. Before the king cobra attacks, there is also a series of intimidation actions, and only if the intimidation does not work, it will take the initiative to attack. The black mamba, known as the world's most venomous, only attacks humans when it feels threatened and passively defends itself.
Therefore, when I heard that poisonous snakes gathered outside the barracks and took the initiative to attack the barracks, everyone present was extremely shocked. Chu Yang is the defense commander here, responsible for all the emergencies, and when he heard the soldier's report, he immediately took people out to check.
Li Qingyun was also very curious, so he followed over to investigate the situation. Walking to the entrance of the camp, there were many soldiers with flamethrowers, spraying flames. There was already a vague corpse of a venomous snake on the ground, all kinds of venomous snakes, and even ordinary non-venomous snakes.
Li Qingyun didn't see the king cobra with the broken tail, and he didn't know if the siege had anything to do with it. There were only a hundred poisonous snakes in this attack, and because there were protective nets around the camp, they could only be accessed through the entrance.
The attack was a failure, leaving a corpse in the air, and no new vipers appeared. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu Yang still frowned, and he said to the middle-aged officer beside him: "There are more and more unreasonable things, and a person with a thick line like me is almost unable to hold on, which shows how much psychological pressure ordinary soldiers suffer." Report to the above. Let those gringos in!"
"Okay, I'll go. The middle-aged officer spoke. He turned around and left with the same solemn expression.
The injured who did not take the space spring water only improved slightly and their injuries were reduced, unlike the injured people of the king cobra, who recovered in a miraculous degree.
Zhou Tao lost this game, and even ordinary soldiers who don't understand medical skills can see it. Zhou Tao really fell silent and no longer provoked Li Qingyun, but what was he thinking in his heart. Only he knows.
It's not that Li Qingyun doesn't want to cure all the soldiers, it's just that with the precedent of Li Qicun's treatment, the ancestral snake medicine doesn't have such a strong effect at all, if he cures all the people, Li Qicun doesn't doubt it. If one or two cases are treated, it can be said that it is a coincidence, if all of them are cured. I can't explain it.
It was too dangerous outside, and the military wouldn't let anyone out of the camp. Li Qingyun was bored and couldn't go out to explore, so he had to enter a small space to observe the poisonous snake with the soldering iron head tied to the sun stone.
This poisonous snake was greatly affected by the Sun Stone, and it was thickened in a large circle. It's a lot bigger, it's two meters long, and if you let it out, you can even fight with an ordinary king cobra.
Feed it a little space spring water and feed it two small fish. Seeing it pretending to be well-behaved, it's really awkward. Li Qingyun finished feeding it. slapped it a few times on the head, until it was inexplicable, wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry, shrunk his head, stared at Li Qingyun in confusion, and looked extremely pitiful.
"I don't believe you can turn from a poisonous snake into a yellow eel, and if you are released, I don't know how many people will be harmed. Li Qingyun finished cleaning up the soldering iron, picked a bunch of grapes, returned to reality, and lay in the tent to eat grapes.
The sun was about to set, and it wasn't hot in the tent, just a little dim. Eating a few cold space grapes, humming a little song, and feeling the sweetness and deliciousness of the grapes, it seems that there is nothing more comfortable than this.
Suddenly, he felt the door of the tent move, and Li Qingyun sat up with a bang, staring at the outside of the tent with burning eyes.
He was sure that he didn't hear any footsteps, it seemed that only a light breeze was blowing, and it was really strange that something had touched the tent all of a sudden.
"Who?" Li Qingyun asked sternly, but there was no response, only the mountain breeze was slow, as if it was normal.
Li Qingyun picked up a small bamboo pole at the head of the bed and picked up the mouth of the tent, there was indeed nothing. After taking a closer look at the ground, there were no traces left on the broken stone floor, in fact, it is impossible to leave traces on this kind of ground.
I always felt that something was wrong there, and I was about to go out, when I heard a neat cheer from outside, it turned out that the foreign expedition team had arrived, and Chu Yang asked the soldiers to line up to greet him.
There were ten people in this team, with a lot of equipment, and Michelle was among them. She carried a small iron cage in her hand, and in it was a strange-looking animal, about seventy centimeters long, slender, like a big weasel, with grayish-brown fur, and a very long tail, almost half of its length, with a fluffy tail, extremely clever appearance, and a head even like a fox, and a long pointed mouth.
Li Qingyun's eyes lit up, as if he had seen this kind of small animal, but he couldn't call their name for a while, this small animal seemed to be very good at catching snakes, and it was one of the natural enemies of snakes.
In addition to the one in Michelle's hand, there were more than a dozen, all of which were packed in cages of the same standard, and were pushed into the camp by wheelbarrows.
"Why are they bringing so many small animals, can it be that they want to rely on this kind of thing to deal with poisonous snakes?" Li Qingyun thought in his heart and walked out of the tent.
"Hi Michelle, it's a pleasure to see you here. Li Qingyun smiled and greeted the mixed-race beauty.
"Oh my God, you're Li Qingyun? Why did you wear a doctor's overalls? I was so surprised, I didn't expect to meet you here. What's the matter, is this time acting as a translator, or is it a doctor?" Michelle smiled happily, put down what she was holding, and ran over to give him a sweet hug.
Li Qingyun said: "It's very dangerous here, since you are not a real expert in wild survival and snakes, it is best to leave quickly." The venomous snake now is stronger than the last time we went into the mountains. Their toxicity has mutated, and ordinary antivenoms cannot cure them. â
"Yun, you don't have to worry, this time we have brought professional equipment, as well as the top snake experts, who can definitely conquer the venomous snakes here. Also, you see, we brought meerkats, which specialize in hunting poisonous snakes, a total of ten, all of which have been professionally trained, and ten of them attack together, and they can hunt and kill king cobras, and we have done experiments. Michelle said confidently.
"I don't understand, you're a bioengineer. Why are you so keen on wild adventures. And the situation here has been born out of biological common sense. There are swarms of poisonous snakes, and they actually take the initiative to attack the military camp, have you seen them anywhere else?...... As for the meerkats you brought, this is indeed the nemesis of poisonous snakes, but there are only ten of them, and there are thousands of poisonous snakes here, can they kill them?"
Li Qingyun was reminded by her, and also remembered the name of that strange little animal. A branch of the meerkat called the snake meerkat is produced in Yunnan and other places, and there is also a small amount of zĂ i in Sichuan and Shu, which is better at fighting poisonous snakes than ordinary meerkats.
However, if you encounter one or two venomous snakes, the meerkat will easily take care of them. If you encounter a swarm of poisonous snakes. The snake meerkat is afraid and can't do anything, and he can't even save his life.
Michelle smiled mysteriously, but didn't explain much, only said: "This is my hobby and ideal, for the sake of my ideal, even if I lose my life, I will not hesitate to lose my life." All right. My teammates urged me to come over and come back to you when we're settled! Oh yes, you've got a backpack this time, right? I miss your food. â
"You foodie! Be careful, there's a wounded king cobra outside the camp. It is about four meters long, has a broken tail, has a violent personality, and is very vindictive, if you go out of the camp, you must beware of this huge poisonous snake. Li Qingyun couldn't persuade her, and didn't say much, reminding her of the dangerous situation nearby and telling her to be careful.
Michelle was slightly surprised, but not afraid, and said: "I have seen a king cobra of more than six meters in India, and a king cobra of about four meters will not make our expert team afraid to leave the camp. Well, thank you for your kindness, we'll be careful. â
They spoke in English, Zhou Tao could hear it clearly nearby, he had just returned from studying abroad, and his English level was quite good. After hearing their conversation, he just sneered, turned around and returned to his tent, without provoking Li Qingyun again.
That night, the 10 foreign explorers ate their own food, drank beer, and even danced around the fire. The ** people did not restrain them, nor did they join them, Li Qingyun discussed things with Chu Yang, and did not respond to Michelle's invitation.
The night seemed to be quiet and normal, but after dawn the whole camp was disturbed by the sound of the horn of an emergency assembly. Li Qingyun wore a white hexagram and rushed out of the tent, only to find out that a soldier had died, and it was one of them who escorted them yesterday.
Li Qingyun's heart suddenly cooled by half, Zhou Tao was even weaker, sat on the ground with his buttocks, and shouted something in a distracted manner, saying that it was the revenge of the king cobra, it must be yes, the four people who injured the king cobra were recorded by it, and this time they were dead.
Li Qingyun's face was not good-looking, remembering the movement of the tent yesterday evening, it was obviously not wind, maybe the king cobra had already mixed into the barracks.
After Chu Yang asked all the soldiers to gather, he began to ask the people who had been in contact with the deceased, asking when everyone had last seen the deceased and which person was in the same tent with him.
A soldier came out of the ranks, saying that he was the one who shared the tent with the deceased, but yesterday he was supposed to stand guard and guard the gate of the barracks with other comrades, and it was not until he returned to the tent to rest in the morning and evening that the deceased was wrong, his whole body was black and purple, and he died extremely miserably, and there were two poisonous snake tooth marks on his neck.
Hearing that a king cobra of about four meters may have mixed into the barracks, foreign exploration experts were also startled, and a snake expert came out, he opened the cage, released all ten meerkats, blew a whistle, and asked them to search every corner of the barracks, wanting to find out the trace of the king cobra.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Qingyun walked up to Chu Yang and asked about the whereabouts of the other soldier. Chu Yang replied, saying that because the soldier had a mission, he followed a team of people transporting supplies yesterday and returned to the medical camp halfway up the mountain.
Li Qingyun stopped his gaze on Zhou Tao, and without asking, Zhou Tao took the initiative to say that he slept in the ward yesterday and had a special soldier on duty to guard him, so it was possible to escape.
After asking, Li Qingyun was puzzled, and said to everyone: "The military camp has arranged a separate small tent for the military doctors, and I slept alone last night, why wasn't I attacked? Could it be that this king cobra has become a sperm and knows how to use psychological tactics to destroy everyone's spirit?"
Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard the unique cry of the snake meerkat released, and the foreign snake expert shouted in surprise: "My little babies have shown traces of poisonous snakes, let's go and see!"
