Chapter 513: Where the symptoms are

"Shhhh

Ye Tian squatted down lightly, his fingers carefully stretched out to the mouse, and under the mouse, he found a small ant, a very peculiar ant.

After picking up this ant, Ye Tian held it up in front of his eyes, looking at the ant on his thumb and finger, Ye Tian's brows furrowed, but in the squinted eyes, he could see a bright look.

"Mr. Ye, what are you looking at?"

From here, it can be seen that Werther's eyes are not as good as Ye Tian's eyes, although they are only a few meters away, but Werther doesn't notice at all that Ye Tian's thumb is pointing at the ants on his stomach.

Hearing Werther's inquiry, Ye Tian turned around and raised the ant in front of Werther's eyes, seeing Ye Tian so cautious, Werther noticed that there was an ant on Ye Tian's thumb and belly.

"Don't gasp for air, don't talk loudly."

After Ye Tian whispered these two precautions, he casually put the ant in the palm of Werther's hand, but Werther didn't understand what Ye Tian's behavior meant at all.

Just when he was still waiting for Ye Tian to give him an answer, Ye Tian didn't dislike how dirty the dead rat was, and then a stick peeled off the mouse and found the corpses of several other ants from where the mouse was lying.

The ant corpses that exist under the mouse corpses look exactly the same as the ants in Werther's palm, but what is easy to make people wonder is that these ant corpses have no resemblance to normal ants, if it weren't for the fact that they are all small and six-legged, and very similar to normal ants, Ye Tian wouldn't even think that these things are ants.

And here's the question, if these things weren't ants, what would they be?

Looking at these little things with pale silver colors on their bodies, I also frowned and could almost kill a mouse, although it was disgusting.

"These things are ants?"

Werther was also very curious when he saw the things in his palm, and Ye Tian's nodding action confirmed his guess.

"If I'm not mistaken, these things are enough to solve the problem of infection among the archaeological team members."

"How is it possible, are you kidding me?"

Werther was full of disbelief, it was obvious that the theory that these ants could solve the problem absolutely did not exist in his consciousness, but it was obviously a very difficult problem to explain the breadth and profundity of Chinese medicine to a person who did not understand Chinese medicine at all, but in order to make Werther better understand, Ye Tian still chose some more vivid examples to explain.

"What's wrong with the ants? Do you know that the human fecal placenta is all medicinal materials that can be used in traditional Chinese medicine, and toads, scorpions, centipedes, etc., which are known as the five poisons, are also excellent medicinal materials, so these ants are just drizzle. ”

Ye Tian pretended to be relaxed, but the brows that he never let go showed that he couldn't believe what was happening in front of him, but the corpses of dead mice and ants showed that all this was true, and he had to believe it.

And Werther's whole person is already messy in the wind, the words Ye Tian said are constantly replaying in his mind, for a foreign college student who has studied Western medicine for a long time, what Ye Tian said has undoubtedly subverted his entire outlook on life and values.

"But it's still hard for me to imagine, can you help me explain why? Why are you so sure that these ants are the key to healing the archaeological team? ”

"Didn't you notice the rats? They are struggling, are you stupid, why are they struggling, don't you think, in such an environment, rats can be regarded as creatures standing at the top of the food chain, but they are such creatures, they died tragically in front of us. ”

Putting those ants in the palm of his hand and gently fiddling with them, Ye Tian continued, "That's because there are more powerful creatures than them in this tomb, and when we came down just now, these rats didn't dare to come to the lower level at all, if they weren't frightened, they would only stay in the last game, and there were very few things that could survive on the upper layer." ”

The words have come to this, as a college student, Wei Te naturally figured out the meaning of Ye Tian's words.

"You're saying that there are creatures on the second level of this tomb that even these rats don't dare to provoke, and because there are no cats, there may be natural enemies of mice on the second level that are not cats."

Speaking of this, Witt himself obviously couldn't figure it out, "But even if there are no cats, you can't be so sure that these ants are the natural enemies of mice?" ”

"I didn't say that these ants are the natural enemies of these mice, I just said that these ants are very likely to be the key to treating the archaeological team, because they have a good chance that these ants bite on their bodies, or accidentally touch these ants, and the infection is caused."

Ye Tian explained bitterly, the so-called interlacing is like a mountain, and what he said is really not wrong at all, this is just a boundary apart, they are just doctors who don't understand what he means at all? If it's really interlaced chat, then it can't drive people crazy?

Werther's brain is like a paste now, and he doesn't understand what Ye Tian means by this?

Seeing Werther looking so distressed, Ye Tian sighed helplessly, but still chose to explain it to him again.

"Let me tell you this, these things are like virus vectors, and you really caused the infection because the archaeological team members came into contact with these ants, and you had complications such as high fever and coma."

"What! Are you saying that these are the sources of the virus? ”

Ye Tian's words made Werther tremble, and directly threw the ants in his hands to the ground, and then kept rubbing them on his body, hoping to wipe off the traces left by the ants on him.

After seeing Werther's movements, Ye Tian shrugged his shoulders helplessly.

"Actually, I don't think it's that serious, there's no need to worry so much."

"But you just made it clear that at least it may be the source of the virus in the future."

Werther wiped his hands, but he still looked at his palms very nervously, and after raising his head, he gave Ye Tian a resentful look, so as not to give Werther a resentful look, Ye Tian suddenly couldn't help laughing and laughed.

"It could just be a possibility, you know?"

"I haven't said that these ants are the source of the virus, but one thing is for sure, these ants are definitely different from normal ants."

If it weren't for the crazy actions of those mice, Ye Tianye wouldn't have noticed these ants at all, it was the terrible howls of those rats that attracted Ye Tian's attention, and when he noticed those mice, he found that there were countless bright silver spots on the rats' bodies, which contrasted with the light of the miner's lamp.

It looked extremely weird, but when he approached again, those bright silver spots had completely disappeared, and the rats were all dead, if it weren't for the light of the miner's lamp was bright enough and the colors of these ants were brighter, Ye Tian would not have found the corpses of these ants.

If I didn't guess wrong, it was these ants who were lying on those rats just now, these ants with bright silver complexion, but they had grown a different appearance in such a dim environment.

If it weren't for the fact that these ants were bold, then there was only one other possibility.

These ants are so powerful that they have no enemies in a living environment like a tomb, so no matter what they look like, they won't worry about something coming to them.

It is a well-known fact that animals have a protective color, such as praying mantis and chameleons, whose skin color is to facilitate predation or protect themselves, and ants, as a member of the ecosystem, have similar habits.

However, this only means that the ants that live normally on the ground, but the ants that live in the catacombs, they grow, and the skin color is different from the surrounding environment, which can only show that they are the absolute overlord here.

Don't worry about the enemy's attack, such a skin color is also declaring your supremacy.

It's just a few small ants, but they have such a different skin color, and with a little association, it's those speculations above.

It can be concluded that these ants are absolutely unusual.

In addition, some archaeological team members were unconscious due to virus infection, so when Ye Tian saw such a different ant, he considered whether these ants were the source of the virus, which was the root cause of the archaeological team members' unconscious.

However, these are only guesses, and if you want to verify that your guesses are correct, you need to make a diagnosis.

"Alright, let's get the ants on the ground together, we can go back now, and I'm going to check if these ants have anything to do with the coma of the archaeological team, and if not, we'll have to come down again."

"Do you want to come down?"

After hearing Yetian's words, his face was almost turned into a bitter gourd face, and at first he just calculated that he would do a small probe to see if he could find clues about the coma of the archaeological team members, and after letting her come down, he found that the test was completely different from what he imagined.

The gloom of the catacombs was completely beyond his imagination, and for the less daring, it was like a painful torture.

So when Ye Tian said that it was possible to come down for the second time, Werther refused.

However, Ye Tiancai didn't care so much, he waved his hand and prepared to go up, but before going up, he saw the few mice that had been gnawed by ants and had only a layer of skin, and the ghost made a miracle, Ye Tian took out a spare plastic bag from his body and packed them up.

After seeing Ye Tian's movements, Werther was disgusted and wanted to vomit, but in line with the high quality of college students, Werther still restrained his impulses very well.

"Medical research is very rigorous, don't miss a small detail, otherwise you will find out the details in the end, which may determine the success or failure of your whole research."

Ye Tian said with an old-fashioned lesson, while Werther nodded submissively, Ye Tian held an ant in one hand and a plastic bag containing mouse skin in the other, and the two ended their short journey to explore the catacombs.

However, when they returned to the surface, they found that although the time had passed for a short time, it had also passed, and it was almost three hours.

For three hours, they could have done nothing, except for a few ants and a group of half-eaten mice.

Looking at the things in his hand, Ye Tian also frowned, he just didn't know, which of these two things was the thing that caused the archaeological team members to fall into a coma, if it was an ant, it would be better, if it was a mouse, it might be very troublesome, after all, rats have been the key to the onset of disease since ancient times.

Is this a long way to go?

No matter what, it is necessary to find the reason why those archaeological team members are unconscious, Ye Tian suspects that the coma of those Chinese medicine practitioners should have nothing to do with these ants, and these mice are the most suspicious, but at present, these are all speculations, and the most important thing now is to find a way to find out the reason, and then let these archaeological team members wake up.
