"All the dead died from high temperature moxibustion, all died in a relatively closed room, the temperature of the center of the open flame is estimated to reach more than 3,000 degrees, the temperature of coking coal combustion can not be reached, and the whole process may only take a few minutes, if this is the case, it is similar to the heat of a nuclear bomb explosion. ”

By the way, Xiao Lei also said that he found that before the accident, those victims had physical weakness, colds and low-grade fevers, and most of them went to the infirmary to see them and prescribed some antibiotics to take them. Lao Chang, you can ask Xiao Lei about these tomorrow, he knows more details. I'm just concerned about whether the spontaneous combustion of the human body will spread and whether there are any hidden dangers to public safety. ”

Team Cao yawned, rubbed his temples with his hands, and added: "There is another one, that is, there is no eyewitness to this case, it stands to reason that although the incidents are all at night and the victims are all indoors, it is impossible to have more than a dozen cases, there is not a single witness, no one has seen how this happened and how it ended, this is really strange." ”

"If it is spontaneous combustion of the human body, according to foreign studies, most of them occur in people with high body fat content, that is, relatively obese people, the most popular saying is that the human nervous system has a short circuit, although the current in the neuron is very low, but it will still cause local overheating, dry external environment, coupled with electrostatic action, and trigger fat burning. Lao Cao, are those victims overweight? Lao Cao, Lao Cao?"

When I turned my head to look, Team Cao's head was already hanging down to the window, and there was a dull snoring sound. In fact, everyone has some unique qualities, for Team Cao, no matter what kind of tea, he can say eight or nine without leaving ten after taking a sip, this is one. In addition, no matter how noisy the environment is, as long as you want to sleep, you can fall asleep in five minutes, completely unaffected by your surroundings.

I learned from Team Cao, half-curled up, barely lying in the co-pilot's seat. I could see the brilliant Tianhe through the front of the car, and the half-moon slowly rising from the distant mountains, the towering mountains were plated with a thin layer of cyan by the moonlight, like a sharp blade, slowly cutting through the sky.

The night is quiet, somewhat cold, the thin blanket on the body does not make people feel warm at all, and it is estimated that the special function of falling asleep in five minutes makes the Cao team completely unaware that their blanket is too thin, and for me, an elderly person, freezing and not being able to sleep is the most painful thing.

Since the temperature inside and outside was the same, I simply opened the door and got out of the car, lit a cigarette, and breathed some fresh air. But disappointingly, the smell of dust in the air outside did not affect breathing, but it made the nasal passages and noise slightly itchy. It is said that because the coal in the mine is not of high quality, a coking plant was built next to the mine, and the dust should have drifted from there.

The place where Cao and I parked was on the side of a dilapidated road, with a bare rocky mountain on the left and a gentle slope on the right, with clumps of half-human-high bushes. The village we had visited was just below the gentle slope. I don't know if it's because of coal mining, the trees on the mountain are sparse, and most of the boulders are exposed with sharp edges and corners, which look particularly hideous in the night.

There was no scenery to enjoy, and the cold wind was still rolling some sand and gravel, and my cheeks hurt, so I extinguished the cigarette in my hand and prepared to go back to the car, when I found that in the darkness in front of me, there was a pale yellow point of light, shaking gently.

Did someone light a cigarette there, too? I looked intently, but soon I dismissed my idea, and the point of light grew larger and brighter, and moved forward against the ground.

Soon, the point of light turned into a faint ball of light the size of a ping-pong ball, which stopped a few dozen meters away from me. I was amazed, I thought it was a ghost fire, but on the one hand, the color is wrong, and on the other hand, the way of movement is different, how can there be a ghost fire gliding against the ground?

Intrigued, I straightened up and walked towards the light. Soon, the distance between us was reduced to twenty paces, but I felt as if the light had stopped, apparently noticing my presence. Is this thing alive?

I took a few more steps forward by the rising moonlight, and made a closer look. Vaguely, I saw that the light seemed to have limbs, a head and a tail, and that it was crouching on the side of the road like a weasel.

I remember that Zeng Qian, the daughter-in-law of the Cao team's doctor of biology, once told me during the Poyang Lake star fall incident that 99% of the animals that emit light by themselves live in the deep sea, and there seem to be no land animals that glow all over their bodies.

Curious, I took a few more steps forward, wanting to get a closer look at the creature up close. Less than ten paces away, it was indeed a stout adult weasel, with a pointed head and a large tail, short legs and red eyes. It had apparently noticed my approach, too, and hunched up, its head slightly downward, as if it was ready to flee.

The weasel is timid by nature, especially afraid of people, but in the legend of the market, it is an animal with spiritual power, in the north, it is the head of the eight immortals of the earth, it is said that the cultivation of the essence, can transform the body, confuse the pedestrian who walks alone at night. But come to think of it, it's the strong irritating gas it emits that makes the people who are attacked hallucinate, at least I've never seen a weasel with superpowers.

But then I noticed that the light did not come from some part of the weasel's body, but seemed to come from inside its body, as if there was something in its abdomen that could emit a strong light, and the brightness of that thing was so high that it penetrated the weasel's fur and made its body look like a paper lantern.

I focused on the strange light, ignoring the other oddities in the weasel's body, such as the blood-red eyes of the weasel, which were completely unfocused, apparently in an unconscious state of chaos. For example, its muscles are tense, even very stiff, as if there is a slight twitch. In addition, when the animal's tail is almost not stationary, it will always swing unconsciously, but this weasel's tail is completely stationary, dragging on the ground as if it is unconscious.

But at that moment I had no time to analyze this, for the results were already evident in front of me, and less than a second later, the weasel swooped down on me, as if it had fallen into an evil spirit. I was only four or five meters away from it, and it was running very fast, and all I could do was lower my body.

Like a ball of red light, the weasel slashed past me in an instant, and although it flew into the air, it did not have the slightest intention of stopping, and directly hit the left side of the jeep's bumper. After a loud thud, the weasel was bounced up and landed on the road more than a meter away.

The collision didn't seem to hurt the weasel, it rolled on the ground and got up quickly, and at this time the light on its body became brighter and brighter, turning orange-red, completely enveloping the weasel, and I subconsciously took a few steps back.

But instead of turning around and continuing to rush at me, the weasel lifted all fours and crashed into the jeep again. This time, the impact was louder than the previous one, and I could clearly feel the body shake violently. The weasel was bounced more than two meters away, spread out on all fours, lying on the dirt road, all the muscles in his body were twitching, and it seemed that he could no longer get up.

But at this moment, the light on the weasel's body completely wrapped it, and the luminosity instantly brightened up several times, and I could no longer distinguish the details of its body at all, and soon it turned into a dazzling ball of light, and at this moment, a black mist full of fishy and burnt smell spread.

Team Cao had woken up from his sleep, rubbed his eyes and opened the door and got out of the car, but was immediately frightened by the ball of light in front of the car. I hurriedly waved my hand at him, motioning for him not to go near the orb of light.

After about a minute, the brightness of the ball of light suddenly increased several times, and I could clearly feel the tremendous heat it emitted, and the temperature around it rose by at least five degrees, and the string light shook so that we couldn't even open our eyes, but within a few seconds, it was as if the spotlight had lost power, and the ball of light flashed weakly twice before it went out. Everything is shrouded in darkness again.

"Chang, what is this?" said Team Cao as he walked towards the place where the ball of light had just lit up.

I took out the small flashlight I had with me, turned it on, and shone it on. There was a clear burnt circle on the ground, and the weasel only had a tail tip of less than three centimeters left outside the black ring, and the rest of the body was probably the black powder on the ground.

"It was a weasel, not small, but it was glowing orange all over its body, as if it was burning, and it came down the opposite hill and hit the car. Then, you see, the white light flashes, and it becomes this piece of dust on the ground. As I spoke, I crouched down and watched carefully on the ground, for fear that I would miss any useful clues.

The Cao team found a small wooden stick, plucked it in the ashes, and told me that the temperature of the burning center was at least 3,000 degrees Celsius, because the fine sand particles on the ground had been melted by the high temperature and had formed glass-like crystals. Moreover, in such a short period of time, it is not possible to burn the weasel to ashes, even if it is filled with gasoline in its stomach and ignited. It's hard to imagine what happened to this weasel.

"Team Cao, how do I think that the weasel died in the same way as the miners, could it be that his body spontaneously combusted. "Thinking back to the strange scene I just witnessed, I became more and more convinced of the existence of this possibility.

"I've never heard of animals spontaneously combusting, but if that's the case, Ray may be working in vain. Leave it alone, let's go to the mine tomorrow and meet Xiao Lei and them. ”
