Chapter 714: Emergency Rescue
"Genetic collapse?" Falcon frowned, obviously, he didn't understand what Qi Lin meant.
"I didn't say anything because I was busy fighting just now, you two will understand when you two go and see the corpse of Number Four." Qi Lin said.
The three of them came to the side of No. 4's body, although the second floor was full of traces of battle, but fortunately, No. 4's body was not affected too much, and it was relatively well preserved.
Falcon and No. 3 soon noticed the abnormality on the corpse, and the former couldn't help frowning and said, "This look...... It's like pouring a bottle of strong acid directly into his body......"
"The organs dissolve, the skin, teeth and nails all fall off, and the bones become loose and brittle...... Also, if you look at the pus and blood, most of the components are transparent serum, and the number of red blood cells in the blood of Number Four has reached an outrageous level......," Qi Lin added.
"This symptom is very similar to death from a large amount of radiation, and it is not necessarily a genetic breakdown." Falcon said.
"But where is there a radiation source here that could kill an evolutionary? If so, why haven't we, who are only one floor apart from No. 4, been affected in any way? Qi Lin still didn't say a word, that is, his perception of radiation sources is the most sensitive, even he didn't notice anything unusual, to say that No. 4 died of radiation, this is completely untenable.
"But there are many kinds of genetic collapse, and we can't say for sure that Number Four must have died of genetic collapse...... Besides, the conditions for a person to die of genetic collapse are more harsh than death from radiation, and although we are not aware of any radiation sources, Four has not been injected with any serum or drugs that could cause genetic collapse during this time. Falcon shook his head slowly.
"According to the data obtained in the "Wasteland Survival Code", if the mutated genes in the new serum cannot be fused, the symptoms of gene collapse will explode immediately, and there is basically no incubation period." Number Three spoke.
"Falcon, you've been teammates with Four longer than we do, are you sure he hasn't been injected or taken any potions that could have an effect on his genes? Is it possible that he is a hidden addict who secretly uses some contraband behind our backs-"
"Actually, it didn't take long, everyone was a makeshift team, and I met Number Four a day or two before you. However, I can be sure that the fourth has not used anything other than the medicine for rapid recovery of physical strength and military stimulants during this time, and we are also using these two drugs, but we have no adverse reactions, and as for contraband, it is even more impossible, the things in the backpack and on the body have been checked by the organization, and the organization will not allow this to happen. Falcon continued to shake his head.
"That's weird, could it be—"
Qi Lin was about to say if it was caused by the bite of some mutant bug, but No. 3 suddenly pinched his neck with both hands, fell to his knees with a pop, and twitched violently!
"What's wrong with you?!"
Qi Lin and Falcon immediately rushed to his side, and Falcon quickly took out an adrenaline from the first-aid kit and plunged it into Three's arm.
However, the medication did not alleviate Three's condition, and he began to cough violently, with many dissolved internal organs in the blood foam he coughed up.
Falcon and Qi Lin glanced at each other, and they instantly realized that the situation of No. 3 at the moment was exactly the same as No. 4.
"What's wrong?" The falcon kept rummaging through the first aid kit, but none of the contents of the bag could be used to deal with the situation.
"Morphine, give him a morphine injection first, we have to ask him about his physical condition!"
Qi Lin said, and the falcon immediately took out the morphine syringe, removed the cannula from the needle, and pierced it into the muscle on the third arm.
No. 3 is in slightly better condition than No. 4, the muscles under No. 4's skin are either dissolved or turned into a pile of rotten muscle fibers, and No. 4's pores are also beginning to ooze blood, but at least the muscles can maintain normal elasticity.
One, two...... It wasn't until the fourth morphine was injected into Three's body that his convulsions slowly stopped, and he lay on his back on the ground, gasping for breath, his chest rising and falling violently, and the blood foaming from the corners of his mouth spread to the ground.
"Number Three! If you can understand what I'm saying, blink your eyes! Qi Lin grabbed his shoulders with both hands and yelled at him loudly.
Three's eyes stared blankly at the ceiling, his sclera was covered with dense bloodshots, his pupils were dilated, and yellow and white pus-like secretions flowed from the corners of his eyes...... He was already blind.
However, despite losing his vision, Three still blinked his eyelids with difficulty.
"Listen! You're in terrible shape, but at least you're not dead! Falcon and I will do our best to rescue you, this requires your cooperation, I will ask you some questions, if the answer is yes, you just blink your eyelids, if not, just blink twice, understand? ”
Three blinked again.
"We're going to have to cut open his chest and drain the corrosive suppurative fluid, or it's only going to make it worse if it's left in his body!"
Qi Lin said, using a dagger to separate all the tactical vest and clothing on No. 3's body, exposing his chest, while the falcon wiped No. 3's chest with alcohol cotton and handed a sterilized scalpel to Qi Lin's hand.
After washing his hands with disinfectant alcohol, Qi Lin held the scalpel, took a deep breath, and then landed the blade on No. 3's chest.
Along the sharp edge between the ribs, Qi Lin cut a ten-centimeter-long incision, and the blood that had deteriorated and exuded a sour smell immediately overflowed from the incision.
"Attach him a blood transfusion bag, and give me the last bottle of alcohol."
Qi Lin said, the falcon immediately inserted the needle of the blood transfusion bag into the vein of No. 3 - in their first aid kit, there will be a small bag of plasma of the same type, which can be regarded as the standard configuration of most special forces at present, according to tens of thousands of combat statistics, the biggest cause of death of wounded soldiers on the battlefield is excessive blood loss, followed by respiratory failure and wound infection.
A large amount of alcohol washed away the pus and blood flowing from the wound, and Qi Lin used a scalpel to cut vertically at the previous wound, forming a cross-shaped incision.
