Chapter 101: Autopsy Worm
After drinking and vomiting five or six times, I felt that half of my life was tossed and lost, this cramming gastric lavage was like a punishment, but I have to say that the effect was remarkable, and I vomited until the end was only water.
There was still a faint smell of blood in my mouth, and the mucous membranes of my mouth and esophagus must have been corroded to the point of being full of holes, and the bleeding gradually stopped, but the pain became more and more intense, and I felt that my internal organs were being burned by fire.
There was no water left, Lao Huang took it out of his bag and poured it into me, I want to vomit when I see the water now, I have enough, I don't want to drink it anymore.
I twisted my head to the side to show resistance, Lao Huang saw that Ah Chuan didn't mean to stop, so he poured me with my mouth, his face was rare serious, but his eyes seemed to beg me to drink more.
I was poured into two more bottles, and Ah Chuan finally stopped: "Okay, it's useless to vomit again." ”
He wiped the ointment off and fed me two pills, which I let them fiddle with like a doll, and I felt the pain all over my body twist and twitch, and I didn't know what they were, and they didn't bring a hint of relief.
I'm really fed up, this journey is full of situations, tossing myself and others, and now that they have found Brother God, this should be my last adventure.
Ah Chuan began to apply ointment to my burning skin, the wound on the outside is nothing, the pain inside the body is fatal, Lao Huang still looked at me with a worried face, Xiao Qi could only come over and treat the wound for him.
"What the hell is this?" Lao Huang asked, pointing to the lake.
"Necropsy worms," Ah Chuan replied affirmatively, "There are specimens in the clan, but we haven't had a chance to try its effect with living creatures, and the activity of those autopsy worms is much worse than here." ”
"Autopsy? Those people ......" Lao Huang wanted to speak and stopped, he seemed to understand something.
Ah Chuan smiled: "They are all buried living people, autopsy worms will corrode people's bodies and turn them into transparent liquids that are a little thicker than water, they have a special memory that can remember the appearance of the corroded person." ”
My stomach began to tumble again, and each of those dense transparent figures was once a living person, and I don't know how many bones were hidden in this seemingly clear and clean lake.
I was almost one of the martyrs, and I don't know how many years these autopsy worms had lived, and I didn't know how many corpses had been corrupted, and the thought of how densely packed all over my body made me get goosebumps popping up in patches.
I couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that when I saw a few corpses wrapped in salt in the salt lake, my scalp was numb, and now I drank a stomach full of corpse water, and my whole body was soaked and soaked in corpse water, but I was not as uncomfortable as before, and my psychological lower limit was getting lower and lower.
"This tomb owner thinks quite thoughtfully, because of the memory of the autopsy worm, the previous people thought that it was the soul of the dead, the human body is not important, the important thing is that the spirit is eternal, he probably thinks that those martyred slaves still have thoughts, and will guard the mausoleum for him, ghosts and spiders can't enter the water, and autopsy worms can't go ashore, and it's really a strict guard."
Ah Chuan's voice was full of banter, I don't know how he could say such terrifying words so easily, but he was right, it was indeed a strict guard, whether it was a ghost spider or an autopsy worm, it made me suffer a lot.
Since it is a burial pit, we should be very close to the main burial chamber, I finally have a little hope, my body is like a dry and brittle tattered leaf in the autumn wind, it may fall at any moment, I don't have the capital to toss, if I can get out this time, I will definitely have to stay in the hospital for a month.
The reserve of water is all used to wash my stomach, Brother Shen walked to the cave wall, to catch the clear water flowing down from it, the so-called clear water is just a comfort in the heart, there are corpses and poisonous insects hidden here nowhere, we can only see out of sight.
Ah Chuan smeared my naked/exposed skin with ointment, and when I raised my hand, I still saw a red patch, as if I had been skinned.
"Fortunately, the contact time is not long, otherwise the skin of the whole body will be corroded, just like a fire, do you know why burn patients die easily? Without skin, all kinds of bacteria and viruses will come in, and it is very tragic to die from infection, by the way, not necessarily, maybe you will die of stomach perforation first. ”
Ah Chuan talked endlessly, I felt that I had developed immunity to him, no matter what he said, my brain would automatically block out half of it, except for the key information, everything else would soon be forgotten in the back of my mind.
The adaptability of people is really amazing, I thought to myself, Xiao Qi sat on the side after bandaging Lao Huang, looking at the lake and not knowing what he was thinking.
The wounds from her neck to her chest have been blistered white, she should have only smeared medicine, this position is difficult to bandage, so she has been exposed/exposed, but when she touches the corpse water, even if she is in good health, she must deal with it.
Brother Shen took the water and boiled it, she waited for a while, then picked up the pot of water and poured it directly on the wound.
I looked at her dumbfounded, the pot of water was still steaming, at least seventy or eighty degrees, and she poured it directly on the wound, even if it was just the skin, it couldn't stand it, not to mention the injury, the pain was no less than cutting off dead flesh.
As soon as the hot water was poured, Xiao Qi's fair skin was immediately scalded red, the same as my corroded hands, I knew how painful it was, and her condition would not be better than mine.
Does this guy have masochistic tendencies?
I saw Lao Huang swallow his saliva, his eyes were full of disbelief when he looked at Xiao Qi, and there was obvious distress, he moved his lips to say something, but in the end he didn't say it.
It's cold in this hole, bacteria and viruses definitely can't stand the heat, she's kind of sterilizing the wound, but isn't it really painful?
Xiao Qi didn't even frown, and naturally handed the pot to Brother Shen, Brother Shen went to fetch water again, and Xiao Qi sat down and began to apply the wound medicine to the lake, and I realized that almost all the alcohol used for disinfection was used on me and Lao Huang, and there was not much left.
She seems to be used to living alone, Lao Huang still looks stunned, he is completely different from him usually, he must have been scared by Xiao Qi, just like I was scared at the beginning.
She didn't have what a woman should look like at all, she was so strong that it was distressing, and I thought of the dark salt lake, she knew that the bottom of the lake was connected to the tomb, but she certainly didn't know where the mechanism was, she could only be tested again and again, she was so badly injured, I really don't know what kind of perseverance drove her to survive.
I always see the good side of things, even the bad scene can't imagine how much pain is behind it, put yourself in the shoes of me, if I was in that environment, with a strong enemy on my back, corpse poison in my body, and I had to dive into the salt water that irritated the wound again and again without an oxygen tank, just to find a glimmer of life, it would be an impossible task at all.
Even if she found the mechanism, if Ah Chuan and I entered the salt room a little later, she would still suffocate in the sarcophagus, which is really thrilling to think about now, but she will do everything she can if she has the slightest chance, although there is little hope.
If I were there, loneliness and despair alone would have killed me.
I moved my legs, raised my foot and kicked Lao Huang, this guy is usually very good, but at this time he is like a little white.
Lao Huang turned his head to look at me, I glanced at him, and he immediately showed a helpless expression, and his hesitant look didn't look like him at all.
This is another Lao Huang I haven't seen, I haven't heard him say who he likes since I was a child, and he is serious this time.
He looked at me again, but walked over, he was different from me.
"Let me help you, what can you see in front of the water?" Lao Huang naturally squatted down beside Xiao Qi.
"No, you don't." Xiao Qi really refused, and his cold voice was the same as I imagined.
If I was rejected, I would definitely run away, but Lao Huang snatched the medicine from him: "You helped me, if I don't help you, don't you owe you a favor?" ”
Xiao Qi looked at him strangely, and turned his head again, I don't know what her expression is now, but she didn't refuse again, Lao Huang raised his eyebrows at me, and his eyes were full of pride.
I "cut" it hard in my heart, this guy is better than me everywhere, even the flirting girl is better than me, he always says things that people can't refuse, and the trick of using favors for Xiao Qi is simply a textbook model.
He began to apply wound medicine to Xiao Qi, his body was half blocked, only half of his face was exposed, his eyes were focused, and his ears were not red, as if he was really just helping Xiao Qi.
My scalp was also aching, and the autopsy worms didn't let go of anything, I struggled to sit up, my lungs choked like smoke, I coughed a few times, and a fishy sweetness immediately welled up in my throat, and I swallowed it with a chill in my heart.
I am now like an old man in the last years of his life, I took the ointment from Ah Chuan's hand, squeezed it on my fingers and rubbed it on my scalp, and when my body moved, the corroded skin was like being brushed by a hard brush, and it hurt hotly, like taking a bath in chili water.
"There must be poisonous insects in the tomb, so smear this as well." Ah Chuan threw me another ointment, which was their tasteless insect medicine.
I looked at it and wanted to laugh, I was now wrapped in medicine inside and out, I felt like an old medicine tank, and my body was full of the smell of medicine that could not be washed away.
The wound on my shoulder seemed to get worse, it was swollen high, and it hurt sharply when I touched it, and I seemed to be used to this pain, and my spirit would not always pay attention to it.
Lao Huang finished giving Xiao Qi the medicine, and came back beautifully, his hand was in front of him, and he made a silent "yes" to me.
This guy still stinks like that, I'm too lazy to pay attention to him.
Brother Shen took advantage of our healing to burn a lot of water, filled all the water bottles that I had drunk empty, we ate something casually, smeared the insect medicine, and packed up our equipment and prepared to go on the road, no one spoke, but the tacit understanding was like a person.
