Chapter 743: Miasma

"It's not just the miasma, you see there are human bones in the swamp, there should be a lot of dead people here......"

"I've seen a lot of human bones, but I'm not afraid, when I first went to the Valley of the Gods, I was almost trapped in the tomb. ”

Zhang Tianyuan looked at the swamp, there were indeed a lot of human bones floating outside, and some skeletons looked very hideous, but these things could no longer constitute any fear factor for Zhang Tianyuan, he had also entered the ancient tomb and dug the grave in the past, this was all a small matter.

"There must have been a battle here, and many people were affected by the miasma, so they died here......

Snake Lin looked at the scene in front of him, and seemed to be able to see the battle scene at that time through time and space, it was a very tragic battle, and both sides of the battle were bleeding.

This should be the place where the expeditionary force blew up the baggage, and there are still some traces of it, but they are not very obvious.

It was back then that a series of huge explosions suddenly sounded, shaking the mountains and shaking the heart. People keep their mouths open to avoid bursting their eardrums.

The thick smoke on the field surged, and mushroom clouds rushed up in midair, mixed with countless stumps and broken arms, steel and dust.

The mushroom cloud did not disperse for a long time, and those fragments and dust goddesses scattered like flowers, one after another, fell one after another, and smashed to the ground like hailstones.

In the thick smoke, there was still a fierce sound of fried beans, and the ammunition that had been detonated one after another sounded in a ball. People's ears were almost numb by the loud noise at the beginning, and the explosion of these munitions sounded insignificant.

From a distance, puffs of pale blue gunpowder smoke sneered out of the fuse. Then it dissipated in the sky above, and the smoke enveloped those cannons, vehicles. It is like the cigarette smoke lingering on the dojo of the dead. Ethereal.

At the same time, the powerful shock wave caused by the explosion spread out in all directions, and the hurricane formed by the shock wave swept the land unstoppably, and the trees on the mountain shook like crazy, the branches broke and the poles cracked, the leaves flew, and the dust scattered all over the sky to obscure the sky.

After the loud sound of the storm, the smoke gradually dissipated. The open ground was reduced to nothing. Where the equipment is parked, a deep pit is blown up.

The soldiers rarely had the leisure to admire this costly spectacle. Together, they opened their mouths wide, lowered their heads and frowned, and in the bunker, on the hillside, there were indescribable sighs, choking, and sobbing. The soldiers destroyed the best modern weapons and equipment without a fight. Wanderers in foreign lands have no way to return home......

In order to give himself enough time to escape, a large number of mines have even been planted here, of course, for so many years. There are often wild beasts or wild people walking here, and even if it is a mine, it is almost detonated. But this kind of thing is sometimes difficult to say, for the safety of one's own net worth. Snake Lin didn't dare to slack off, which made Zhang Tianyuan stop. It's a lot more powerful than a trap.

In fact, during World War II, the application of landmines was not very extensive, and those defeated generals could still take care of burying mines to hinder the pursuers, and they all drilled into the mountains with their lives.

Or maybe it would be more appropriate to send him to death, Du Yuming's decision directly buried tens of thousands of troops, but Du Yuming probably didn't expect this to be the case.

This is not only the case for Du Yuming.

General Stilwell, an old American man who fled to India with Luo Zhuoying, the commander of the expeditionary force, was infected by its beautiful scenery full of primitive and rugged charm when he flew over Savage Mountain, and he was full of admiration and "OK".

When he looked at the rivers and streams that meandered among the mountains, he was even more poetic, imagining them as "jade-colored poetry lines in between", this Yankee knew Chinese and regarded himself as a "Huaxia expert".

When he expressed this exclamation in Huaxia dialect, Commander Luo, who had a sense of guilt, was inexplicably surprised. In addition to being amazed by his rich imagination and profound Chinese skills, he was also deeply surprised by the rich leisure and leisure he still maintained even when he failed to escape.

Not to mention General Stilwell, who fled in the fog, even the soldiers of the expeditionary force who had just struggled out of the smoke of gunpowder and the rain of bullets, it was inevitable that they would be happy and happy, forgetting the hardships and humiliations of the past for the time being, let alone the dangerous situation in the future.

This savage mountain is such a place, you look beautiful, but you can never think of its sinisterity, and sometimes, it is such an oversight that you throw your name in this jungle in vain.

"We're not going to follow Du Yuming's old path, are we?" asked Zhang Tianyuan with a smile.

"No, if I'm here, it won't, let's go, brother, there's nothing wrong here, let's move on, don't let the miasma get contaminated, it will be very dangerous, it's okay here, the miasma is fixed in one place, it doesn't spread, you can avoid it, go inside, the miasma and the fog should be mixed, and then it's time to take medicine......"

With his professional knowledge, Serpentine carefully searched the vicinity, and after confirming that there were no mines, he breathed a sigh of relief, but his expression was still very strict, he was not in the mood to joke with Zhang Tianyuan, Zhang Tianyuan actually laughed, which made him feel very incredible.

He didn't know whether he should admire Zhang Tianyuan, or feel sad for Zhang Tianyuan's boldness and ignorance.

Shaking his head with a wry smile, the two of them continued to move forward, if he said that he smiled at Zhang Tianyuan, Snake Lin had a very conflicting opinion, but he was absolutely impressed that Zhang Tianyuan was able to follow him for such a long distance and be able to keep up for such a long time.

You must know that Zhang Tianyuan is an ordinary person, and he is a big boss, who often goes out to either drive or take a car, such a person is generally in poor health and has worse endurance.

If it's a marathon, it's better, after all, the marathon runs on the highway, but this is a deep mountain and old forest, this broken road, high and low for a while, still full of thorns for a while, and a while to trek through mountains and rivers, he can actually keep up with himself, which makes his opinion of Zhang Tianyuan also have a new change.

After resuming his journey, Seren's speed slowed down significantly, not because he was tired, but because he had arrived at this place. The road ahead will be quite dangerous, if you are not careful. There is a risk of trouble, not just miasma, mines, traps. Also, don't step into the pit because the light is very dark.

There are a lot of wild beasts in it, and if you step into the hole of a poisonous snake, it won't be easy.

In order to ensure that he would not step into the swamp quagmire, he found two relatively hard branches from the tree, took one for himself, and gave the other one to Zhang Tianyuan, and the two of them explored the path while moving forward. Naturally, this speed is much slower.

This method is primitive, but it is very effective, and under the thick foliage, no one can guarantee that there will be anything, it may be a trap, it may be a poisonous snake, it may be a swamp pit, it may be a pit that has been blown up by a bomb before, and it may even be a black bear lying there.

The snake is in the process of advancing. Although I didn't take out anything too strange, I saw the poisonous snake with a bowl mouth several times, and after the poisonous snake was dialed out, not only did it not escape. Instead, he pounced on the snake, but fortunately, the snake reacted quickly enough to avoid it. The knife in his hand directly cut off the head of the poisonous snake.

The viper was frightened, though he did not die. But he fled into the distance and disappeared into the forest. And the severed head actually burrowed into the leaves and disappeared.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Tianyuan simply got goosebumps, which was a little too terrifying.

"Brother, stop for a moment, this miasma is a little troublesome next, put on a gas mask, and then take some medicine. ”

Due to the shade of dense trees, the air quality in the dense forest has also become very poor, and after walking out of the distance again, Snake Lin took out the quinine tablets they had prepared long ago from his backpack, which Zhang Tianyuan had prepared before entering the mountain, because Zhang Tianyuan also knew that the miasma in this place would be very troublesome.

Snake Lin also knew that Snake Lin had heard a story from a veteran soldier before, and some soldiers had a fever due to miasma poisoning, and there was no medical treatment, so they could only wait for death.

"The deeper you go into the forest, the more eerie it becomes. That's when something even more terrible happened. The miasma began to wreak havoc in the army, and thousands of fighters fell. The roadsides and huts were littered with the corpses of the soldiers, and the smell of the corpses made people dizzy. "The old soldier sued SΓΉ Snake Lin.

"One night, one of the soldiers suddenly had a high fever. It burned for three days, and it didn't get a little better until the fourth day. A few days later, however, he developed a high fever again and vomited. Many soldiers with a little common sense knew that this man must have contracted a terrible miasma. ”

At that time, the soldiers who were infected with miasma persuaded their comrades to leave first, because he knew that he could not do it, unlike infecting his comrades with miasma, at this time the brilliance of human nature was also revealed, this was not a boast, many people at that time thought like this, and would rather die by themselves than be tired of their comrades. ”

But his comrades-in-arms also didn't want to leave him, how could they bear to do that? Knowing that he might be infected, the big guy still stayed with him to take care of him, and wanted to wait for him to get well and go together. The soldier was angry and said, 'If you wait for me to go with you, you will die!' He drove everyone away like crazy, but they still refused to leave him alone. ”

A few days later, the soldier with a persistent fever entered a state of madness, he burned to the ground, often stripped naked, and cried and fussed. One day, he ran like crazy while everyone wasn't looking, until he reached the edge of the cliff. By the time everyone reached the edge of the cliff, he had already jumped off the cliff. Everyone lay on the edge of the cliff and cried heartbreakingly. ”

I don't know if he is really crazy, or if he wants to take this opportunity to end his painful life. ”

"I don't really understand, what is this miasma, it's so terrifying, and why is quinine effective for miasma?" Zhang Tianyuan simply knew some common sense, but if he went deeper, he didn't quite understand.

Seren Lin smiled and said: "In fact, before the discovery of the malaria parasite, both China and the West thought that malaria was caused by 'foul air'. In ancient China, it was called 'miasma', and this is how the miasma got its name. It can be seen that the misunderstanding of the cause of malaria between the East and the West is 'incompatible'. ”

"It was not until 1880 that Lafran of France discovered the pathogen - Plasmodium parasite in the red blood cells of malaria patients, which broke the theory of 'miasma' and solved the mystery of a thousand years. ”

"Ahh......h
