Chapter 51: Chaozi's Memories II

Welcome to Guanshu Network:

Cha Wenbin subconsciously took a step back, a little away from the insect, but the insect was not annoyed, twisted his fat body, and crawled slowly towards his companions in the middle.

Zhuo Xiong looked at Chaozi's gritted teeth and asked, "I was bitten by this bug, how could your squad leader be amputated?" ”

Chaozi continued: "That day I went to the hospital with the instructor, and when I sent the squad leader to the company, he was already unconscious, lifted the trouser hem, took off the bandage and saw that the meat that was bitten off was three or two, and a wound the size of a small bowl had begun to turn black, although the weather in the Tibetan area was cold, but the smell could be faintly smelled. When he took off his clothes, he found that the skin of his entire body was in a purple-black. pulled the squad leader, drove an off-road vehicle, and rushed all the way to Lhasa, where he was sent directly to the rescue room.

When I was outside and telling the instructor what had happened, he couldn't believe that this veteran who he had always been proud of in the whole company training pacesetter, who was about to be promoted, would be bitten like this by a bug. But there is no shortage of mystery in this part of Tibet, and the instructor told me not to tell about it, because it would only rot in my stomach.

An hour later, when the doctor came out, he discussed with the instructor that now he had to amputate his leg to save the squad leader's life, and the instructor immediately went into a frenzy in the hospital, smashed several chairs in a row, and rushed into the dean's office, insisting that they send the squad leader back unharmed. Later, this incident alarmed the head of the military region, and our instructor was a small soldier under him, and after the chief came, he taught the instructor a hard lesson, and convened the elite of the hospital for a consultation, so that they could come up with a final plan.

At that time, when the squad leader was looking for a doctor, the hospital experts were all dispatched, and the results of the consultation were consistent with the previous judgment, only amputation could save life, and the instructor learned the news and smashed the glass of the fire hydrant with a fist, almost cutting his own tendons.

The doctor carefully examined the wound of the squad leader and found that he did not lose too much blood, but because his wound was covered with a black filament, which was drilling into the body frantically along his veins, destroying his body functions, and the doctors were helpless after taking a local cleanup of this unknown black silk, because it was too much, much finer than ordinary hair silk, very similar to the kind of silk spit out by silkworm babies, but this silk is black and highly toxic!

Now the black silk has spread all over the root of the thigh, temporarily tie the blood vessel with a tourniquet to prevent it from continuing to grow, after all, it is not a long-term solution, once the time is too long, the blood can not be circulated, and his thigh will also die. But if you don't leave it alone, the black silk will continue to develop, and if it gets to the internal organs, there is no way at all.

The head of the military district took our instructor out and smoked a cigarette, and a few minutes later, the instructor came in with red eyes. The head of the military district called the hospital leaders and asked them to arrange the operation as soon as possible.

Two hours later, the squad leader was admitted to the intensive care unit, where the black color on his skin had faded and was replaced by a miserable whiteness, a miserable white with excessive blood loss. The operation was successful, according to the doctor in charge of the operation, the squad leader's severed thigh was all that black filamentous substance, and even invaded his muscles and nerves. In addition to this inexplicable black filament, there is also a toxin that has been invaded, which looks like snake venom from the symptoms, but the specific results need to be tested before we can know, and the Tibetan region does not yet have this condition, he hopes that the chief can contact Beijing to contact him, and he will send the sample for testing.

According to the doctor, the filaments and toxins in the squad leader's body can kill him, and in addition to the timely delivery of the stennis, the herbs applied to the wound seem to have a certain inhibitory effect on the poison, so a life can be saved. The instructor told me to go back and thank the herdsman.

Later, when the squad leader was discharged from the hospital, I went with the instructor to pick him up. Since then, the squad leader has been silent, nesting in the dormitory all day watching us practice outside, and it is said that the instructor once wanted to keep him in the company, give him the position of logistics director, and let the army support him for the rest of his life. This plan was also specially approved by the head of the military region at that time, but the squad leader was a very stubborn man from northern Shaanxi, who said that he would rather go back and ask for food by himself than stay in the army and be a waste person and eat people's idle food. For this, the instructor quarreled with him more than once, every time the two of them broke up unhappily, and then hugged his head and cried, I always felt that I was sorry for him, if I could stop him from going up the mountain, maybe it wouldn't have become like this, but every time I talked to him, he always smiled and told me, this is fate! Two months later, the squad leader chose to retire from the army, and the army awarded him a third-class meritorious service. He was originally the top training officer of the whole company, a combat pacesetter, who could stay in the team and be promoted, and even had a bright future. Because of this incident, he ended his military career forever.

After being discharged from the army, the squad leader returned to his hometown county, because there was a letter from the head of the military region, so the local government also gave him a lot of help, and arranged several good public positions for him to choose from, but he still had that stinky temper, and he refused to accept the kindness of others. Later, he opened a very small mutton steamed bun stall in his hometown, when I went to northern Shaanxi for archaeology, I also saw him once, both of them drank high, he said that the least regret in his life is to go to Tibet to be a soldier, even if the price paid is a leg, he does not regret it.

After the squad leader was discharged from the army, there was news from Beijing that this was a silk spit out by an unknown insect, and it was suggested that we could provide ** samples for them to conduct further research. On the same day, another large-scale assembly was organized in the company, led by the instructor himself, and the strength of one of our platoons, armed to the teeth, was led by me to the top of the hill.

By the time we arrived at the scene, we had found nothing but cow bones and black threads wrapped around the bones. On the way down, one of the warriors found a black cocoon at the bottom of a cliff, which was very large and about the size of a shell. The instructor tried to take a stick to stab, but it was too high to reach it, so he simply raised the Bayi bar, and the cocoon was knocked down with a shot, and after the thick black cocoon outside was broken, there was a very huge moth inside that slowly opened its wings, and after a few snorts, it was several points bigger than our military basin, and what was even more terrifying was that after its wings were opened, the pattern turned out to be a natural gossip map!

At that time, one of our platoons was stunned, with huge Bagua map wings, the moth flew into the air, or the instructor was sick, raised his hand and shot it again, "" " and knocked it down at once. The moth's carcass and shattered cocoons were sent to Beijing, and it wasn't until I was discharged from the army that news came.

According to the report, the ingredients contained in this cocoon are the same as the black filaments in the squad leader's body, and the gossip pattern on the moth's back is considered a natural coincidence, because the butterfly pattern is originally colorful and varied. The report also said that the white bugs we encountered before should be the shape of the larvae of this moth, and the larvae are from pupae to molt and eventually become this huge moth. They said it was supposed to be a completely new species, the first time it had been discovered, and suggested that the company could provide more information, as they suspected that the moth's larval stage was carnivorous and capable of spitting out black silk with mucus that was highly toxic and fatal. At that time, for the sake of remembering, they called this insect a corpse silkworm! ”

"Zombie silkworms?" Cha Wenbin asked.

Chaozi looked at the wriggling white in front of him disgustingly and replied: "Yes, they say that this kind of insect is actually the same as the silkworm baby, except that the silkworm baby eats mulberry leaves and spins silk, and is taken by people to separate the silk; This insect lives by eating corpses, spitting out that black silk to make its own cocoon! ”

Cha Wenbin thought of the white bones that were originally left in the pool, and countless corpse silkworms were gnawing at the bones here, not only did he feel disgusted at this moment, was this once a human purgatory!

Zhuo Xiong listened to Chaozi's narration, while sympathizing with the squad leader, he also began to make difficulties, since he knew that this kind of insect was powerful, there was no way to retreat, so ahead? Isn't it possible to feed the bugs yourself and become their snack? Remembering how well he looked like he was being eaten by insects, he couldn't help but step aside and vomit......
