Chapter 37: The Corps
Seeing that I didn't react, the commissioner repeated: "The superior needs you to issue an autopsy report from Da Liu as soon as possible!" Then I'll send it back by wireless message! ”
"Oh, okay!" That's when I slowly came back to my senses. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Why do you need an autopsy? Da Liu is dead, can't he lie quietly and wait for him to be sent back to his hometown tomorrow? "Ah Chun, the tall man who stopped me from looking through the corpse just now, said. There was sadness in his tone, and it seemed that the two of them were good friends.
"This is an order from above! As a soldier, you know better how important it is to follow orders! The commissioner said.
"But ......" Ah Chungang wanted to speak, but was stopped by Captain Cao!
"Ah Chun, we soldiers want to ban it, you just need to do your duty!" Captain Cao said.
Then Ah Chun had nothing to say.
Since it was an order from my superiors, and the autopsy report had to be issued as soon as possible, I had to move immediately. I called two companions to help me carry the body to the side, so as not to frighten the others during the dissection. I've spent more time with dead people than with living people, so I'm used to working with the dead. I didn't feel anything in the face of a corpse, but Professor Li and they seemed a little scared, so they could only go back to the tent to rest first. I also asked the two companions who helped to put a few camp lights around the body so that there would be enough light for the autopsy. I went back to the tent and took out the improvised autopsy kits I had brought with me and got to work.
Due to the lack of light from the fire just now, I couldn't see the deceased's face clearly. Now a few camp lights are placed next to it, and the surroundings are very bright. At this time, I saw the face of the deceased, a frightened and painful expression that was forever frozen in the moment before death, and what could it be to make a highly trained professional soldier show such an expression? It was the first time I had ever seen the expression of a corpse and I was chilled.
I began to untie the clothes of the deceased. Prima facie, he did not suffer any external injuries to the front. But there's something wrong with his upper body. His chest was slightly deformed, and his stomach collapsed. I pressed against his chest and broke three ribs. A fractured rib that punctured the internal organs may have been one of the causes of death. But I don't understand why his stomach collapsed.
When I first saw the body, my initial judgment was that he might have died of a serious back injury and blood loss, because he was bleeding a lot from his back. Then I turned him over. I was surprised to see the back of the deceased.
The deceased had a long wound on his back, through which the internal organs could be seen. Part of the internal organs of the deceased are missing!
The wound did not appear to have been cut open by a sharp weapon, but by brute force. A wave of panic welled up in my heart. What exactly can tear a person out of the back and gut it out? As far as I know, none of the animals can do it. Because tearing the back is a difficult technical task for the average animal, it can only be done with flexible limbs, and the limbs must have amazing strength. Orangutans with flexible limbs and thick arms are probably not able to do it. Could it really be that there are mountain ghosts? The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became!
I tried to calm myself down and then continued with my work. The deceased's back was torn open and the internal organs were removed as fatal wounds. The missing internal organs are the intestines, which is why his stomach collapses. The deceased also had some small wounds on his calf, which were presumably caused by climbing the mountain today. There were no other injuries other than the ones mentioned above.
After examining the wound, I began to perform an autopsy. The purpose of the autopsy is to check the stomach of the deceased for the presence of toxic substances. Initial laboratory tests are also performed on the blood of the deceased to determine whether they are infected with the virus.
There are many more steps in the autopsy, but due to the lack of equipment here, only a few major autopsy steps can be done, and the rest can only be carried out by transporting the body to the coroner's room.
After the body was examined, I asked Ma Lu to come over and help put the body aside, then cover it with a quilt and wait for it to be shipped out tomorrow.
Then I went back to the tent and started writing the autopsy report. Xu Li was not in the tent, probably to take care of the wounded. I wrote on it both my autopsy process and the cause of death of the deceased. The cause of death was due to excessive blood loss and the inability of the body to function normally due to excessive blood loss due to the removal of internal organs by an unexplained huge external force.
This is the first time I have written this cause of death in the autopsy report. I can't even believe it. But based on my examination, this can only be concluded.
I handed over the report to the Commissioner. The Commissioner was surprised to see the conclusions of the report. This was also expected of me, and he asked me, "What is the huge external force for no apparent reason?" What conclusion did you write? ”
I yawned and said to him, "That's the conclusion I came to, believe it or not!" "I looked at my watch, and it was two o'clock in the middle of the night. I'm so sleepy.
The commissioner didn't say anything more, and then I went back to my tent to rest. At this time, I found that Xu Li had fallen asleep in the tent. It should have been Dr. Wu who asked her to come back and rest. After all, she is a girl, and her physical fitness is not as good as that of boys, so she should be very tired.
Despite the bizarre attack tonight, I spent most of the day climbing the mountain, and was awakened by gunfire at night, and then did more than half an hour of autopsy, and now I am so tired that I don't have the strength to think about these strange questions. I fell asleep upside down.
But I felt like I hadn't been asleep for long before I was woken up by the noise outside. This time it felt more chaotic and louder than the previous one. I don't know if the monster is attacking us again, and I can't help but get nervous. But no gunshots could be heard outside. Xu Li, who was sleeping next to her, is also gone. I then put on my clothes, opened the tent and walked out.
I saw everyone gathered under a big tree in front of the campfire, and Captain Cao was talking to a few of the team members who didn't know what they were talking about, and then the men walked out with guns in hand. I walked over worriedly.
I walked up to the crowd, and their faces were terrified. I asked Xu Li what was going on, and she pointed to the flat ground under the big tree, unable to speak.
At this time, I remembered that it was the place where Da Liu's body was kept. I found that Liu's body was gone, and there was a pool of blood and a quilt covering the corpse on the ground. What's even more frightening is that there is a bloody footprint left on the ground, which is clearly a human footprint. The footprints stretched out in front of the tent not far to the left, which was torn open. There are bloody handprints left on the torn places. Bloody footprints then passed through the tent and into the forest.
My heart was blown open in an instant, could it be that I was a corpse? Did something happen to the people in the tent?
"What's going on?" I asked Captain Cao on the side, "What about the corpse?" I obviously remember putting the corpse here with Ma Liu? What about these bloody footprints? Who was in the tent? Hurt? ”
"There was a seriously injured Lao Zhang lying in the tent, and Da Liu's body disappeared along with Lao Zhang." Captain Cao said that although he was a soldier and full of courage, his face was not good after seeing this situation.
"I've been taking care of Lao Zhang!" "But I just went out for a while, and that's it when I came back!" ”
"Master Zhang, what do you think?" Captain Cao said.
Master Zhang frowned, touched the black and white goatee, and said: "From a metaphysical point of view, it is possible that Comrade Da Liu cheated his body after being attacked and killed by a mountain ghost, and then it took away the seriously injured old Comrade Zhang together!" ”
Everyone was in a panic!
"Master Zhang, if you say this without evidence, it will make the army's morale chaotic!" The commissioner said.
"I'm just saying my point!" Master Zhang said, "In folklore, Longtou Mountain is the origin of the dragon vein in Guangzhou, and it is the dragon head in the dragon vein. According to Feng Shui, it is impossible for this kind of holy place where spiritual energy gathers to produce corpses! This place violates the laws of metaphysics, and there must be something going on here! ”
"What could it be?" Captain Cao asked.
"I don't know!" Master Zhang said, "In short, everyone should be careful in everything! ”
"I told the team members who are tracking Da Liu's body to come back within half an hour, no matter what the situation is! We'll make a decision when they get back! Captain Cao said.
"Mr. Commissioner!" Captain Cao continued, "Hurry up and report to your superiors, I want to know if your superiors are going to continue the mission!" ”
"I'll write a report! But the plan can't be stopped! The commissioner said.
"Why?" It was Ah Chun who spoke, and his tone was excited, "One of our brothers was seriously injured, and one brother died. The dead brother may still be able to deceive the corpse. It's too evil here. You didn't even report to your superiors and said to continue the task, why! ”
"I'm a commissioner sent by my superiors!" The commissioner said, "My job is to guide you through your tasks on behalf of the government!" My orders are the orders of the government! You just have to obey! ”
"Then we don't care about our lives?"
"I have made it clear to you before the start of this mission that the mission has a certain degree of danger, and it is based on the principle of voluntary! It's your choice to join the archaeological team. ”
I saw that the two were arguing, and I was trying to persuade them. But someone spoke before I did.
"We're running out of time!" It was Professor Li who spoke, "It's already December, and we must find Shu Shensuo before next year, this is an important secret related to the state!" The underground ruins here are the only clues we know of to find the Bundle of Gods, and we had to continue! ”
"This ......," Ah Chun still wanted to speak. But he was stopped by Captain Cao.
"Ah Chun, I know that Da Liu is your good friend! But you're a military man! Then Captain Cao said to everyone, "Da Liu's corpse actually slipped away silently under the noses of the six night watchmen!" Everyone should be vigilant and ready to fight at any time! ”
Because Captain Cao told the companions who were tracking Da Liu's body to come back within half an hour no matter what happened, the companions came back shortly after we finished talking about it.
According to their report, the bloody footprints continued for some time before suddenly disappearing. Everyone searched around and found nothing unusual, and they didn't dare to search too deeply at night, so they had to come back and report.
The Commissioner said that he would apply to the government to send another group of people to search for the bodies of Lao Zhang and Da Liu, and that our mission must remain unchanged as originally planned.
