Chapter 978: Find the Reason
I didn't look at her, just waved my hand, and then crouched down and turned the herdsman's body over, the back of his neck was red and swollen, and there were several small round holes in between. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
In fact, I saw this phenomenon when I walked from behind, but the two were talking at the time, and I didn't take it seriously, and now that I think about it, it should have a lot to do with the strength of this superman.
"It's something bitten, but it's swollen like this." Zhao Qingya squatted down next to her, took out a pair of white gloves from her pocket and put them on, ready to reach out and press them.
I hurriedly pulled her hand back, "Wait a minute, there's something wrong with this person's collar!" As he spoke, he stretched out his index finger and middle finger and gently clamped it, turning the collar horns up.
With a 'buzz', a black flying insect the size of a quail egg flew out of its neckline and crashed into Zhao Qingya's face.
She reacted quickly, and ducked backwards, but the flying insect drew an arc and turned back again.
Zhao Qingya didn't expect the speed of the flying insect to be so fast, and it was too late to move her body again, seeing the other party drill towards her neck.
She was about to open her mouth to call, but soon realized that the bug suddenly stopped moving as it flew in front of her.
Looking at it again, the man who had saved him just now had arrived behind him at some point, raising his arm and pointing at the bug.
A stream of air swept past his ears, and a few long black hairs floated down.
As soon as I collected the Void Breaking Sword Qi, the insect fell to the ground, and the bit of True Qi gathered in my body was enough to support it for two seconds, but fortunately, I caught up.
"Are you alright?" I asked Zhao Qingya, who was still a little dazed.
She quickly came to her senses and shook her head, "It's okay, let's see what it is first." He squatted down, and at this time, Hua Yao, Team Leader Xie and others also came around.
Although I was standing on the outermost side, I could clearly see that the thing that fell on the ground looked like a fly, but it was several times larger, the head was yellowish-purple, the lower body was strip-shaped, a pair of mouthparts stretched outward like steel needles, and the front half was stained with a lot of red blood.
Team Leader Xie glanced up at Zhao Qingya, "Director, this is a gadfly, but I've never seen such a big one." ”
Zhao Qingya didn't start again this time, but took out a camera from the small bag she carried, gently flipped the insect body, and observed it carefully, before nodding her head, "It's indeed a gadfly, but it's really too big, but it's a pity that it's dead, otherwise you can study it." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Yao stretched out his right hand and gently opened a slit, and there was an almost identical gadfly flying inside.
"You want to live? There's one of them. ”
Obviously, the sudden action of this young man who had not been very angry made everyone present react.
"What do you want to do?" Team Leader Xie directly pulled Zhao Qingya back a few steps.
I walked closer, let him be in a hurry, turned his head and said, "Xiaohua, this gadfly was picked from the old cow lying down?" ”
Hua Yao snorted and pointed to a bloody mouth under the cow's belly, "The first time I saw this cow, I felt that its belly was too bulging and abnormal, so I used the family heirloom ink washing technique to probe it." ”
"I found a living creature in the mucous membrane between the stomach and intestines, and I managed to take it out, and you see, this guy has sucked so much blood that he can't fly."
As he spoke, he shook again, and the insect in his palm shook with his movements, and after a while, a stream of red and green liquid erupted from his mouthparts.
With a slight turn of the black qi in Hua Yao's hand, the liquid disappeared, and again, the size of the insect was already one-third smaller.
I turned back to Team Leader Xie and said, "Team Leader Xie, it seems that this mutated gadfly is the cause of the cattle going crazy, let's check again to see if there are any cattle around, so as not to have any problems again." ”
Team Leader Xie glanced at Zhao Qingya beside him, obviously waiting for her to make an idea, but fortunately, the deputy commander-in-chief also agreed with this point of view, and ordered the soldiers and staff of the team to carry out an investigation together, and all those who had symptoms of madness were all led to a specific location and isolated.
After a while, six symptomatic cattle were found from these hundreds of cattle and gathered on the side of the road.
I said softly, "Xiaohua, can you get all the gadflies out of these cows' stomachs with this ink washing technique?" ”
He shrugged, "It should be fine." With a slight squeeze of his palm, the gadfly inside was swallowed by the black gas.
The two approached, and then Hua Yao also tried one by one with his hand covered with black gas, and if there was a cow that resisted madly, I would slap it on the cow's head with one palm and stun it.
After a while, there were eight giant gadflies on the ground, all of which had been dealt with by Hua Yao with secret methods, but there was still a breath left, and there was no danger.
Academician Qin had already stepped out of the car at this time, and his face became a little ugly when he saw these insects.
Zhao Qingya saw that his expression was different, so she asked, "Old director, can you recognize this worm?" ”
The old man nodded, "Well, I saw this kind of large gadfly once in Qinghai when I was young, and that time I went to Hoh Xil with Wei Lao to dig a quarry in the Yuan Dynasty. ”
"At that time, our scientific expedition team went to about 50 people, and it turned out that a cave was opened during the excavation, and it was full of this kind of thing, which was really a disaster, and less than 10 people came back in the end."
"Wei Lao also became more and more deteriorating since that incident, and then the above ordered him to retire early because of dereliction of duty."
"I didn't expect to meet again decades later, but fortunately there are two consultants to help, otherwise it would be ......"
I hurriedly stood up and said, "Director Qin, don't say that, in fact, it is not that the two of us are capable of controlling them so easily, but that these gadflies attacked these cattle first, not us." ”
"The current situation is that there may be more of these insects lurking in the grassland, should we consider going back to the base to repair them first?"
Qin Lao was thinking about it, and Zhao Qingya suddenly said, "No!" This operation has been planned for a long time, and we can't retreat because of this little thing, besides, aren't there two more, old director, we can't give up halfway. ”
Qin Lao sighed and smiled at me, "Xiao Yu, I'm old, I'm going to report and retire after this excavation work, I've been preparing for so long, I can't just go back, in this way, I promise you, if there is really such a thing in the place where we are researching, how about reversing the voyage immediately."
