Chapter 33: The Third Night: The Host

Oops, how can this be? Did a snake get into his belly?

I immediately turned the fat man over, pushed his knee against his stomach, and crushed it so hard that he began to vomit violently, and a large amount of green water mixed with some white cotton wool was spit out, all onto the branches, and then dripping.

I pushed hard a few times, and when he finished vomiting, I found that his breathing was a little easier, and it seemed that the contents of this stomach were also very oppressive of his breathing.

Looking at the things that were spit out, the amount was huge, it was like pouring out of a bucket, fortunately, the fat man had a big stomach, otherwise ordinary people would have burst their stomachs with so many things to support them.

I put him away, and I covered my mouth to see what he vomited, and a sour smell came to my face, and I found that between the green water, there was a white sè gel like egg flowers, I broke off a branch and played with it, and I found that the gel was full of something similar to eggs.

In an instant, an extreme nausea welled up in my chest, and I almost threw up, looking at the scales mixed in it, I thought to myself, this should not be a snake egg? I'm disgusting, this snake actually lays eggs in the human stomach, it's like a monster in a Hollywood movie, and I want to pull all these snake eggs down at once.

In this way, the stomachs of these corpses below should also be stuffed with snake eggs, and I can't even imagine what these snake eggs will look like when they hatch.

Struggling to hold back my nausea, I looked at the mud pool below, and then at the snake eggs floating on the water, floating downstream, and began to understand what was going on here.

Could it be that the quagmire here is an "incubation room"? These snakes rely on the heat generated by the decay of the corpse to hatch their eggs, so they keep carrying the corpse and pouring it into the mire, so that they keep rotting and mixing with the soil to generate heat.

I've heard that there are a lot of ants that can control the temperature inside the nest by fermenting and rotting, these snakes obviously can't do that, but they are already incubating their eggs by the heat of decay.

However, the ruins near here have good sunlight, so why don't they use sunlight to incubate their eggs like other snakes? Is it because these snake eggs are very requires?

If it weren't for those heavy rains, there would be no water in this quagmire, at most it would be a muddy swamp, then the fat man would fall into it, and it would take a long time to die, then the temperature in his body would be maintained until he was completely dead, and this may be the reason why the fat man is not dead yet, those snakes just want to paralyze us, they don't want to kill us, just to hatch eggs with our body heat.

I know that there are some very advanced snakes that have evolved, and their eggs have almost hatched in their bodies, and they will hatch after a stable temperature of one to two days. It was a good thing that it was raining heavily, otherwise I would have fallen into the little snake pile just now.

What makes me feel the most creepy thing is that there are snake eggs here, so doesn't that mean that there is a female snake here? I shudder at the thought of the relief, but it's still impossible to think about it, such a huge female snake absolutely violates the laws of natural biology, and these eggs may be born from the offspring of that huge snake mother.

The fat man's stomach is still a little swollen, I don't know if there are any of these things in it, I think it's better to be safe and let him vomit it all. So I picked up the fat man, grabbed him by the throat, and told him to continue vomiting, but the next thing he vomited was green water, and finally it became retching.

I believe that it should be gone, and if there is any more, it should be over the stomach, so it can only be pulled out.

The fog had almost lifted, visibility was gradually restored, I continued what I had just done, pulled the rattan on his body tight, and then prepared to lower it slowly, it was very difficult, if I couldn't hold it a little, the fat man could fall straight from the tree, he was now unconscious, he couldn't use his muscles and movements to protect himself, then this fall could kill him. Therefore, the length of the vine must be well controlled.

I prepared everything, and then used a miner's lamp to shine under the shè tree, this big tree grows on the edge of the quagmire, and if it is not done well, it may fall directly back into the quagmire, and all the work done is lost, and I must choose a good place.

As soon as the miner's lamp shone under the tree, I was stunned, only to see that it was a fog under the tree, and I couldn't see the ground clearly. The flashlight shone as if it were shining on a cloud of chaos.

This is really a ghost, I didn't use the miner's lamp to shine just now, just use the miner's lamp's afterglow, I can see the blurred shadow on the ground, why can't I see it now? Could it be that the fog is thickening again, but why is it only in the part near the ground?

As soon as I looked closely, I found that it was the quagmire that had changed without knowing what had happened, and a black gas had evaporated from the water, which had enveloped the entire surface of the water, and the corpses in it loomed, and it seemed to move in the black gas.
