Chapter 57: The Consequences of Eating Indiscriminately
Lu Tianyu saw Leopold take out many large and small cryogenic life support test tube containers from his backpack, which are actually cryogenic tubes, which have cryogenic coolant in this cryogenic tube, which can freeze organic life to minus 20 degrees, and the preservation time can be as long as several decades, it is said that this technology is the basis of astronaut interstellar flight, which was used in the civilian field decades ago, and now the Alliance Space Station is still using this technology to send astronauts to outer space to explore the universe.
Leopold looked very focused, carefully cutting the vines of the sacred fruit tree and placing them in cryogenic tubes according to different sizes. Then take out the hammer and drill holes in the trunk of the sacred fruit tree, carefully preserving the heart and liquid taken out of the holes.
Leopold collects every specimen he sees, whether it is the soil on the ground, the leaves on the sacred fruit tree, or even the water droplets falling from the sacred fruit tree, he will use the gentlest movements to slowly collect and preserve them, looking very focused and professional.
Danny was still wandering around a sacred fruit tree, seemingly finding nothing, very frustrated, and kept hitting his head against the sacred fruit tree, which looked a little funny.
There was only Ina bouncing around Lu Tianyu, who kept running around the holy fruit tree, God knows what she was looking for, as if she was curious about what she saw.
"Tianyu, what are you looking for", Ina grabbed her hand and looked around with Lu Tianyu's eyes.
"I don't know, it's just very strange, I have a strange feeling, these trees seem to be watching us", a strong light in Lu Tianyu's hand broke the darkness in the holy fruit forest, the holy fruit forest was very large and deep, and it was pitch black in the distance, and he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes watching his every move around. When the light swept away, all I could see was the holy fruit trees and the faint sound of salsa around me.
"Where, don't scare me", Ina grabbed her arm in fear and looked around nervously, Lu Tianyu's words made Ina feel scared.
"It's my imagination, it's dark here, let's leave before the rainstorm comes", an ominous premonition spread throughout her body, not wanting to bring this feeling to Ina.
"Can't you camp here?"
"No", Lu Tianyu cut the gold and cut the railway: "This is a huge energy body, when the storm comes, it will attract lightning in the sky, it will be very dangerous for us to camp here, we must leave here before the danger comes." ”
Ina remembered what Lu Tianyu said about the lightning falling on the holy fruit tree, this is indeed not a good place to camp, "I'll go and tell my cousin to get out of here as soon as possible." ”
Lu Tianyu looked back at Ina who was far away, and walked alone to the depths of the holy fruit forest, the soil here was very dry, although there was some smell of decay on the ground, but there was no sign of other plants growing, the strange phenomenon reminded Lu Tianyu of the invasion of species on the earth, the rejection and threat to the local ecology, and I don't know if it was his own delusion.
If you think about it, you can also know that in this dark environment, ordinary plants cannot survive at all, and it is naturally difficult to see the traces of other plants. There is a thick layer of decaying leaves on the ground, looking at the shape of the leaves, it should be the product of the metabolism of the holy fruit tree, and it is very comfortable to walk on it softly.
Kicked a hard thing under his feet, peeled off the withered yellow leaves, and underneath was a hard holy fruit tree seed, which seemed to have existed for a long time, but there was no sign of germination, it was strange but he didn't think much about it, he put it in his pocket casually, and continued to look around. I didn't dare to go too far, this holy fruit forest seems to be very large, with an area of more than 1,000 acres, giving people a sense of insecurity, making people dare not explore the depths, so they have to wander around.
"Don't eat it, it's poisonous", heard a shout from Ivan not far behind him.
Lu Tianyu turned his head blankly, followed the sound and looked over, only to see that Ivan had rushed to Ina's side, snatched the fruit from Ina's hand and threw it to the ground, shouting at Ina: "Spit things out quickly, you can't eat the holy fruit without ripeness." ”
Everyone around was stunned, only the two Zoe guides seemed to know what was going on, and they also rushed to Ina's face, gesturing desperately to make Ina spit out what she had just eaten.
Ina didn't seem to care, and asked Ivan with a confused face: "Why can't you eat it, aren't they all fruits?" It's just a little astringent, and it's not as delicious as green apples. ”
Ivan was about to jump up in a hurry: "Really, Miss Ina is really poisonous, the holy fruit can only be eaten after it is ripe, and the unripe fruit cannot be eaten, spit it out, Lu Tianyu come and persuade it, it's too late to ......", Ivan saw that Ina was unmoved, so he had to rescue Lu Tianyu.
It's not as good as your own heart, isn't it just eating an unripe holy fruit? It was as if he was taking poison, and he looked at Ivan going crazy, knowing that things might be more serious than he thought.
"Ina, listen to Ivan's words, quickly spit out the holy fruit", Lu Tianyu took out the medicine to cleanse the stomach and intestines from the package, and prepared to clean the stomach and intestines for Ina.
You can't eat things indiscriminately, although you can't figure out whether the green holy fruit is poisonous or not, Danny doesn't want Ina to take this risk: "Listen to Uncle Cousin's words, vomit it quickly, clean up your stomach and you'll be fine." ”
Ina is still insisting, a little willful, obviously the holy fruit can be eaten, but she can't eat it when she comes here, isn't this bullying?
Everyone was still persuading Ina, Ina felt a wave of nausea, and then a little headache, and the luster of her eyes also dimmed, "Quick, if you don't spit it out, it's too late", Ivan was a little anxious and couldn't care about his demeanor, and reached out and grabbed Ina's arm.
Lu Tianyu also saw that something was wrong, and the cold sweat on his anxious forehead broke out, he glanced up at Danny, and heard Danny's words: "Quick, get the things out of your stomach." ”
Lu Tianyu punched Ina in the stomach, and the painful Ina bent down in pain, and then put her hand into Ina 's mouth, making Ina feel nauseous.
A disgusting ball of mucus spit out from Ina's mouth, spit out all over Lu Tianyu's hands, Lu Tianyu didn't care much, wiped the mucus in his hands, let people hold Ina, pried open his mouth and poured the medicine solution to clean the stomach and intestines into his mouth, filling Ina's stomach very high, and then pressed the stomach with his hands, so that all the cleaning liquid flowed out, and it was carried out twice in succession, until Ina vomited nothing, and then poured a little water into Ina.
A little flush finally appeared on Ina's pale face, and her blue lips also had a little blood, "It's okay, fortunately I found it in time, otherwise the consequences will ......", Ivan's trembling lips were already frightened and incoherent, and he kept rubbing his chest, and let out a long breath.
Danny grabbed Ivan by the neck and said, "Why didn't you say it earlier, what the hell is going on, why is it poisoned when you eat the green holy fruit, isn't this holy fruit edible?" Apparently Danny didn't know that unripe holy fruit could not be eaten, and maybe the next one to eat would be himself.
Ivan knew the reason, gasped and blushed his cheeks and said: "You ask me, who do I ask, I also heard from the Zoe people that eating green holy fruit will be poisoned, the mild will be delirious, the symptom is lethargy for several days, and the severe case is life-threatening." Didn't you see that the two Zoe people didn't pick the holy fruit? How did I know that Miss Ina was going to eat the green holy fruit, I really don't know anything", Ivan's voice trembled a little, and his heart was a little weak, this was what a guide should do, but he forgot about it.
Obviously, Ivan forgot to remind the expedition team, and only remembered the severity of the consequences when he saw Ina eating the holy fruit, which cannot be blamed entirely on Ivan.
"If something happens to Ina, you won't survive", Danny dropped a harsh word and turned to look at Ina.
Lu Tianyu half-knelt on the ground, used one arm to support Ina's stamina, and gently helped Ina rub her stomach, so that Ina felt better.
Danny glanced at Ina on the ground, sighed and shook her head, Ina looked good at this time, the treatment was timely, and the venom of the holy fruit did not enter the bloodstream, but it was a little weak, and there was some brilliance in her eyes.
"Look, get to work," Danny roared to the surrounding team, "It's going to rain, give you an hour, and then go back to yesterday's camp." ”
Danny listened to Ina's advice and knew that the Holy Fruit Forest could attract lightning in the sky, and this was not a safe place, and now Ina was unwell again, so she could only leave here temporarily: "Lu Tianyu, you take Ina first, Ivan and the two guards will follow you to the camp yesterday to meet." ”
Ina's current appearance is indeed not suitable for continuing to stay here, so she picked up Ina, glanced at Ivan beside her, and turned around and walked towards the outside of the holy fruit forest.
Ivan followed behind Lu Tianyu in frustration, his eyes kept looking at Ina in Lu Tianyu's arms, if something really happened to Ina, Danny would definitely not let himself leave this Amazon forest alive, and the best thing was to become a member of the natives.
"Lu Tianyu, is Ina okay", Ivan asked timidly.
He is not a professional doctor, but he has learned some simple common sense of first aid, looking at Ivan's nervous appearance, he really doesn't want to continue to fight Ivan: "It should be fine, isn't it just a bite of poisonous fruit, I have already cleaned my stomach and intestines, and I have fed two antidotes, as long as there are no other symptoms within two hours, this catastrophe can be avoided." ”
Ivan frowned and whispered: "The situation just now was too scary, Danny seemed to be going to eat me, and I was so scared that I didn't dare to speak, and now I think about it, I'm still a little scared." ”
Lu Tianyu's eyes widened like two bells, he really wanted to tear Ivan to pieces, this guy said half a sentence, Ivan had something in his words, as if he hadn't finished saying it just now, and said with a gloomy face: "If you don't say anything, if you don't say it, you may not have a chance to say it." ”
Ivan smiled bitterly and looked at the somewhat sleepy Ina and said: "The immature holy fruit contains an extremely strong anesthetic, which can make people temporarily unconscious, and in severe cases, it will make people fall asleep forever, I have heard others say this, and I don't know if it is true or not, I am worried that Ina will have such symptoms now, and even if she kills me then, she will not be able to save Ina by killing me." ”
