Chapter 4: Death Comes

"Wake up! Team Hua!! Hua team...."Shao Kai's anxious voice kept calling in his ear....

At this time, he had a splitting headache......

"What's wrong..... He held his head and slowly got up. He could finally see the face of the dark-skinned chattering little reporter in front of him in a trance....Shao Kai....he was really a little noisy!

"You've fainted! Is it sick? The little reporter looked at him with concern, his eyes full of anxiety.

Only then did Hua Ge find himself lying on the cold ground, just now... What happened to him?

He tried hard to make himself sober, and his body was almost overloaded by the rain and rush to work for the past few days, and he must have been too tired. At this time, he was most concerned about when his fellow sleepmates knew about his illness: "How do you know?"

"I'm a journalist! Don't talk about this yet, something happened! Let's go out and have a look....." The energetic young man pulled him to his feet without saying anything, and pushed and shoved him out of the tent.

As soon as he stepped out of the tent, everything in front of him finally reminded him of what had just happened. The heavy rain caused landslides and mudslides on the top of the mountain....A lot of scientific research equipment was crushed, and even a few spare tents were overwhelmed, and he had to run back to the tent to find tools..... but the sudden headache caused him to lose consciousness for a short time.

Salvage the equipment! He was about to rush out! But Shao Kai grabbed him: "Don't worry about that, someone is dead!" Check it out!! Something went wrong!! ”

What the?! At this time, he felt that the world was spinning, how could such a thing happen under his supervision! I saw it just now, and all the personnel are safe....I fainted for a while.....

He followed behind Shao Kai and hurriedly got into the main tent where there was already a corpse.....

As soon as he stepped in, he found that people were crowded, and a group of people were arguing around a platform, and he stepped forward to take a look....There was another table next to the corpse that had been studied, and on that platform was the French biologist Bell. Rost's corpse.....

He stood there and watched for a long time, letting the people around him keep shouting in their own languages....People who were fine yesterday are actually today!

"Calm down, everybody!" He yelled, and everyone finally shut up, and he could finally hear the thoughts in his head.

Holding back his headache, he asked Duan Lei, the only forensic doctor present, "Mr. Duan, what's going on?" How did Bell die? Could it be that the landslide at the top of the mountain just caused the accident? ”

At this time, Lei also just finished examining the corpse, took off his gloves, and closed the curtain to show respect for the deceased. He frowned and said, "After my examination... Bell died of a blow to the back of the head...."

Tears welled up in the eyes of Bell's young assistant, Diana, who was the first to discover Bell's body, and who seemed a little shocked to witness the teacher's death as an intern...... The others also talked about the cause of Bell's death, and there seemed to be no respect for the deceased.

Hua Ge hurriedly asked, "So it was said that he died accidentally?" ”

Duan Lei shook his head: "This... Bell's death didn't feel like an accident... The cause of death is a bit unusual! It could be artificial. ”

When a word was spoken, everyone exploded! This is a big deal, they are the only scientists in this mountainous area, but someone actually murdered another researcher, and everyone is no longer calm.....

"Could you please explain it to us?" One by one, you and I asked Duan Lei to give an explanation.

And Duan Lei's statement made everyone tremble: "Bell's body was found near the landslide at the top of the mountain. But there was only one wound on the back of his head, which proved that he had been killed by a heavy blow. If it was due to the landslide at the top of the mountain, the rest of his body would have been scarred to varying degrees, but apart from the fatal wound on the back of his head, his body had no other wounds at all..."

"And most notably, there's something extraordinary about his fatal brain wound...", he said, putting on his gloves and turning Bell's body over....

"What is this?" Everyone including Hua Ge was stunned, the wound that should have been bloody turned out to be burnt black! Apparently caused by a hot hard object.

But it's almost impossible, it's raining so hard outside, no matter how big a torch can be extinguished in an instant....what can keep burning in the rain and still cause such deadly damage?!

Everyone in the tent was shocked by the scene in front of them, and each of them was in an inexplicable panic with various speculations in their hearts at this time...... Because in this isolated environment, if it is murder, then everyone present is extremely suspicious!

Just when people were still shocked and puzzled by the sudden murder, Bell's body suddenly showed an astonishing change in front of them. His body suddenly dried up like a punctured balloon, lost its moisture, and his skin lost its elasticity and was full of wrinkles, showing age spots like a hundred old people, in just three or two minutes, from a 40-year-old appearance, to an extremely old face....In front of everyone, he instantly turned into a dry corpse!

Everything happened so fast, completely contrary to the laws of nature, that everyone present was even more shocked, but they began to be restless, and the air was filled with a strange atmosphere of excitement. The eyes of scientists and explorers sparkled one by one, forgetting the panic of the murder and their eyes full of excitement in pursuit of something new.

At this time, it seems that only Hua Ge and Shao Kai are here, and their attitudes towards all this are completely different, for these two people, Bell was still a living person a minute ago, but at this time, he is like an experimental subject and allows these scientists to rummage through the corpse wantonly.

This scene almost completely erases his perception of human nature: "Don't you all have compassion? It's personal! At the very least, keep a basic respect! Shao Kai couldn't help it, he saw that Diana, who was still crying for Bell just now, was like a different person at this time, rushing to observe Bell's corpse.

"Reporter Shao, you are still young, when we choose science, we are already ready to appear for science, even if this happens to any of us, we all hope that others will find the answer in us." And this is the assistant Mills brought by Iris.

"Besides, as the Chinese team said, he has the duty of a soldier, you have the obligation of a reporter, and we have the pursuit of our scientists! Don't take morality seriously with us! "These assistants, who have been suppressed by professors for many years, are as vibrant as if they have finally seized a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Hua Ge kept watching them argue and didn't speak, because he knew that he couldn't stop these crazy scientists at all, each of them came here to explore the unknown, and he also hoped that these people could find clues to Bell's sudden death from their research perspective.

Shao Kai argued for a long time and found that Hua Ge had no reaction. I had to let a few scientists talk about looking at the corpse, extracting blood and chattering, it seems that the reason for the instantaneous aging of this corpse cannot be answered overnight....

Hua Ge suddenly felt that something was missing inexplicably around him, and he looked around....There were three people missing!? At present, there should be a total of 11 people, including Bell, a biologist from country F on the stage.

The first to arrive here were forensic doctors Duan Lei and Feng Yan Sanamoto and his assistant Higashida Hiroshi, while the others arrived with Hua Ge, including: the dead Bell. Rost and his assistant Diana. Blake, G-country archaeologist Iris. Cartveis and her assistant Mills. Fross, Hyde, the explorer of Country A. Slok, R country explorer Ina. Kabaeva and journalist Shao Kai.

At this time, only Sanamoto and his assistant Higashida and the troublesome woman were missing: "What about Mr. Feng Yan and Iris?" How could these three have missed such an "exciting" scene for all the scientists?

"Professor Feng Yan ran out of the mountains just now, he said that he was the first to enter the mountains to be familiar with the terrain and went to find rescue! And his assistant Higashida is busy looking for him! "At the door, a figure wrapped in a rainproof cloth was as tight as a spacesuit. If it weren't for her voice, it was Iris, and this outfit would be even more "creepy" than the corpse on stage

"Nonsense! Mr. Feng Yan is so old, how can you let him go up the mountain now that the weather is outside! Hua Ge was burned with the anger of these scientists who were completely self-conscious!

"I can't stop it! You see I'm dressed like this, it's not convenient to stop him at all! After entering the account, while asking her assistant Mills to help her take off her magical "space suit" in a hurry, she replied to him with confidence, and she was in a hurry to plunge among the other scientists to start studying Bell's corpse.

He grabbed the arm of this woman who cherished himself to the point of being almost "sick", looked at her carefully, and his eyes were full of questions: "What about you!" What were you doing when Bell died! ”

She shook him off, still arrogant: "My skin is very tender, take away your rough hands!" ”

Looking at his angry eyes, she smiled: "I was busy blocking Feng Yan and rescuing my own exploration equipment just now, if you have time to doubt me, you might as well go out and find Feng Yan now!" Maybe you can stop him, and if another one dies in a while, you won't be able to make a difference! ”

Although Hua Ge's heart was full of anger at this time! But finding Feng Yan first to ensure the safety of the personnel was indeed said by this woman, and he hurriedly put on a raincoat and called the only three people who didn't care much about the two corpses like him.

Hua Ge, Shao Kai, and Ina and Hyde, who are explorers, together with their communication equipment, rushed out of the tent....into the muddy forest that was covered by thick dark clouds like night.....
