I saw the lights in the tent fall to the ground, and Xiao Jin crawled on the ground in a strange posture and twitched, his body was full of snow-white things that were still squirming.

"Snowlice?!" Zhang Fan and Qian Lang said in unison in surprise.

"Don't go over!" Zhang Fan stretched out his hand to stop the ark that was about to enter, "That's snow lice, it only lives in the extremely high altitude and extremely cold snow-capped mountains. It sleeps in summer and wakes up in winter to parasitize and reproduce.

Therefore, Xiao Jin's body was parasitic with snow lice. Usually after a few hours, the snow lice will lay eggs in the host, and within two to three days the larvae will break out and swallow the host's internal organs along with the adults.

Looking at Xiao Jin's current situation, the snow lice had almost eaten his internal organs, so he broke out of his body, and he ...... There is no help. ”

"Snowlice?" Several people in the ark had different expressions and spoke in unison.

Then, Fang Zhou asked, "Why haven't I heard of this parasite in this snowy mountain?" How do you know? ”

Zhang Fan was about to answer, when he heard Kong Xiaoyi ask suspiciously: "How could he be parasitized by this kind of bug?" When was it parasitized? Why didn't he feel it himself? If he had feelings, we would have known them a long time ago. ”

"What if you already knew?" Qian Lang said: "Snowhoppers look smaller than sesame seeds, very inconspicuous, in fact, their parasitic ability is very powerful!"

As long as it is parasitized, it is impossible to get it out, even if you go to the hospital for deworming surgery, the problem is that the snow lice parasitism is not one or two, one or twenty, not one or two hundred, but ...... You know it by looking at Xiao Jin!

At least tens of thousands, all of which are parasitic in the large intestine, small intestine, and liver...... Oh, and by the way, it can also be parasitic in the brain and pericardium. Now that he has broken out, it means that his internal organs have been eaten by snow lice, so there is no way to save him. ”

"There's another reason." Zhang Fan added: "Because when snow lice parasitize organisms, they automatically secrete endorphins to the host, so that the host does not feel that they are eating flesh and internal organs in the body.

It is not until the adult worm burrows out of the host with the well-fed larvae that the host will feel the pain and usually die within a quarter of an hour.

Adults will take their larvae into the deep layers of snow to sleep for a few to several days, depending on the situation. Sometimes, when they are hungry, they will climb out of the snow on their own; Or, as the power of the avalanche is carried to other snowy regions, continue to search for creatures as hosts.

As for how we know about the parasite of the snow lice, it doesn't matter, the important thing is Xiao Jin...... I really can't live. Take advantage of the now, or quickly pack up your equipment and leave here; Or, a torch for everything in the tent, including...... Xiao Jin ......"

"No, you can't!" Ding Rou said eagerly: "He still has breathing and convulsions, and he is not dead yet!" How the hell do you know? Now that you know, there must be another way to save him, right? ”

What Zhang Fan and Qian Lang knew was also what Leng Xingyun said, as for how Leng Xingyun knew, he didn't explain, but he said that people who were parasitized by snow lice were not saved. Moreover, it is the best choice to burn people to death with snow lice.

However, this does not eradicate the snow lice, or even reduce the number of them that exist there.

But at least from another point of view, this is to cremate the poor man who was parasitized by the snow lice, and burning the snow lice to death is equivalent to helping him avenge him.

But Fang Zhou and Kong Xiaoyi, seeing that Zhang Fan and the three of them shook their heads helplessly, they were still a little incredulous and unacceptable.

However, Fang Zhou didn't have too many expressions, but Kong Xiaoyi frowned and looked crying, as if he wanted to blame anyone but couldn't find anyone to blame, and smashed his fist on the ground: "It's numb!" How the hell did he get parasitized by this horrible bug?! ”

Zhang Fan and Qian Lang suddenly remembered that they had also encountered snow lice on the day of the avalanche, but as soon as the snow lice got on their bodies, they were discovered by Leng Xingyun in time.

If it weren't for Leng Xingyun, the two of them would be like Xiao Jin!

So, both of them replied at the same time: "It's the cause of the avalanche!"

Then, Zhang Fan told Fang Zhou about their encounter with snow lice, but he didn't mention Leng Xingyun. It was only said that they found the snow lice that had just climbed on their bodies in time, so they immediately stripped off their clothes and shook off their clothes to clean up, so that they were not parasitized by snow lice.

A few people had to believe it, and then Fang Zhou sighed and said with a look of unbearability: "Burn it." ”

"Is it really going to burn?" Kong Xiaoyi slammed the ground again, sighing uncontrollably.

Ding Rou shed tears, lit the lighter, and set Xiao Jin's tent on fire tremblingly.

Not to mention the few people in the Ark, even Zhang Fan and the three didn't want to stay here anymore, so they hurriedly packed up their equipment.

As soon as he walked a few steps, he heard Kong Xiaoyi suddenly shout: "Oh no! Now I think of a very serious problem! Since Xiao Jin was parasitized by snow lice during the avalanche, did the four of us also have snow lice in our bodies? It's just not time to break out yet? ”

As soon as these words came out, the three of them looked at Kong Xiaoyi, and their faces were as pale as snow, and they were stunned in place.

And Qian Lang subconsciously pulled Zhang Fan to hide behind Leng Xingyun, and said softly: "If they really have snow lice on their bodies, if we get too close to them, will we pass the snow lice on us?" ”

Leng Xingyun turned his head to look at them, shook his head slightly, and said in a voice that only they could hear: "They were buried in the snow together, and there is a great possibility of parasitism, but luck is also ruled out." In any case, as long as the lice does not show its surface, normal contact will not reach you. ”

Qian Lang breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll be relieved." ”

And the people in the ark were stunned for a few seconds before they slowly reacted.

"It shouldn't be possible!" Fang Ark analyzed: "Because we and Xiao Jin were buried in the snow at the same time, if we were parasitized by snow lice at the same time, we would also ...... at the same time That's the kind of thing that happens. Since nothing has happened, then it proves that it is not parasitized, rest assured! ”

The three of them looked at each other, and then slowly relaxed with a fluke mentality.

But the psychological shadow brought by this incident to them, as well as the suspicion of being parasitized by snow lice, have been planted in their hearts.

In the process of traveling, Zhang Fan and Qian Lang sometimes urged the unhurried Leng Xingyun to speed up their pace, not to let the people of Fang Ark follow, for fear that Fang Zhou and the others would really be parasitized by snow lice, and if the snow lice in the body broke out at any time, it would pass over them.

Sometimes I slow down, thinking that if something happens to the people behind me, they can help as soon as possible, the so-called 'do your best to obey the destiny of heaven'.

But in the hearts of the two, there is still an inexplicable guilt.

"Leng Xingyun, isn't it a bit too ...... for you to say that we are doing this? Too pretended? Zhang Fan asked.

"It's normal, you don't have to take it to heart." Leng Xingyun paused slightly and said, "Actually, as long as there are still some kind people in their hearts, their hearts are so complicated many times.

I don't want to cause bad things to happen to myself, but I want to help others out of instinctive kindness. As the ancients said, 'Before doing good, you should first be good to yourself'......"

Seeing that the expressions of the two of them seemed to be a little incomprehensible, Leng Xingyun explained: "This is just like what many people say now, 'protect yourself before saving others'."

If you can't even protect yourself, how can you save others? If you forcibly save others and cause yourself to suffer, who will come to save you? So, you're not doing anything wrong. ”

In this way, Zhang Fan and Qian Lang's hearts were finally relieved, and they were no longer entangled or guilty.
