Chapter 398: Confused
Halfway through, the team stopped and stopped, the cool wind blew at night, and the group walked aimlessly through Stonehenge, the age of the boulder carving is no longer known, and the mottled lines point to the distant past.
Somehow, in the hazy light of the early morning, the gloomy boulders always looked like human faces with rich expressions, and each one was different.
"Bang dang" A soldier kicked the stone under his feet in boredom during walking, and it was particularly loud at night. Maybe it's too boring, Stonehenge is so deserted that there are not even the tracks of wild beasts.
Wu Min is used to checking food reserves and drinking water on a new day, fortunately, many soldiers have died before, and all the reserves are sufficient, provided that they can get out of Stonehenge in a short time, otherwise no matter how sufficient the resource reserves are, they will be exhausted one day.
Yang Xi's face became more and more ugly, and it was estimated that he was also frightened by a series of disappearances, and coupled with his previous injuries, it was a little unbearable to travel overnight.
Yang Xi said, "I'll help you carry him." He patted his muscles and signaled that he could. Zhu Beichen has been supported by Ning Yun and Qiyue, and Yang Xi looked at the two thin girls with some distress.
With Yang Xi's insistent help, July reluctantly handed Zhu Beichen, who was sleeping soundly, into Yang Xi's broad arms, and a piece of strong muscles carried Zhu Beichen on his back, and the steps on the soles of his feet were much heavier.
Kong Liu's condition seemed to be much better, and Strassmann even gave her a pulse check, which showed that she was only overly frightened.
Ning Yun said: "I really can't imagine that this foreign old man will actually take the pulse of our Chinese medicine." ”
The sun on the second day was unusually scorching, and it was no surprise that Wu Min and his team were still in Stonehenge, and the misty area with a radius of ten kilometers seemed to be endless, consuming everyone's patience bit by bit.
Second Master Jiang frowned and looked at the scorching sun at eight o'clock in the morning: "Today's weather seems to be very abnormal, the sun is really poisonous." ”
Soon, the soldiers set up tents on the spot to prepare for shelter from the strong sun, and the thermometer read, the temperature reached 34 degrees.
Ning Yun looked very unhappy, this group of people had always slept in a sleeping bag before, and they knew that there was a tent but refused to take it out.
Wu Min explained that using a tent at night is not conducive to a timely response when encountering danger.
In fact, no one had time to react to the two sudden disappearances.
Yang Xi put down Zhu Beichen, surprised how this man could sleep so well, it had been two days and there was no sign of waking up.
While resting, Yang Xi pulled Qiyue to a hidden place and reminded, "Don't get too close to that woman, she has a problem." The direction of Yang Xi's finger was Kong Liu.
Dressed in a silver-white chemical protective suit, Kong Liu's head was buried in the helmet, and it could be seen that her spirit was a little trance.
July said, "Why? According to his own analysis, Kong Liu should have been overly frightened in his dream, and he was diagnosed with a slight paranoia, so as not to mention the level of danger. But looking at Yang Xi's mysterious expression, it is obvious that he cares about himself, and what he says does not seem to be false, let alone the kind of alarmist person.
When it was time to get to the bottom of it, Yang Xi wilted, and hesitated: "Just listen to me, it's right, don't ask why." ”
Come and see! Someone was shouting loudly, it should have found something.
Because Kong Liu's state was not very good, three soldiers were responsible for setting up electronic equipment around it, and as soon as the instruments were connected, a strong metal reaction was discovered, and along the direction indicated on the instrument screen, a soldier took the lead in finding the "metal".
Hearing the shout, Jiang Erye quickly rushed over with Wu Min, there was a dried corpse lying half-lying next to the boulder, the back of the corpse was leaning against the boulder, and the moisture in the skin had completely evaporated and dried.
Protective clothing! Seeing the silver-white metal costume, Jiang Erye and the others were stunned, this kind of costume was independently designed by the equipment designer within the Jiang family, and it was absolutely impossible for it to be similar, plus this is the main road to the sand-buried ancient city, where is there such a coincidence.
Realizing that the body was most likely one of the missing members of the team within two days, the soldiers lingered two or three meters away, never daring to approach.
Wu Min was stunned for a moment and said, "Dry corpse, in two days, what kind of power can completely dehydrate a corpse to this extent?" ”
Wu Min was just about to reach over to probe the condition of the corpse, but Strassman stopped him in time: "Wait, the corpse is strange, it may have infectious germs, you can't touch it." ”
The sensitivity of the profession told Strassmann that under normal circumstances, the decay and weathering of corpses cannot be so fast, and the corpses will only show signs of decomposition within 72 hours after death, and weathering requires special conditions, and weathering to this extent is definitely not possible in two days. What's more, the surrounding area is foggy, and the moisture content in the air is higher than in other areas, why do corpses form dry corpses.
Strathman asked for gloves, flipped the body over with a wire rope, and carefully picked the helmet with a tool. The shriveled face was in front of him, and the flesh of the face was attached to the skull, and the appearance was faintly recognizable.
"It's him!" Wu Min also began to feel uneasy, the body was not one of the first two to go missing, but the soldier who disappeared a few hours ago.
Kong Liu's stiff expression twitched slightly, took two steps back, and shouted: "He's dead, he's dead, I'm going to die next, I'm going to die too." "My emotions were out of control in an instant, and I turned around and ran towards the boulder, shouting as I ran: I don't want to die here, I want to go out, I don't want to die here.
It took a lot of effort for the soldiers to catch up with her, struggling to suppress Kong Liu, who was dancing, and her strength was unusually great under her madness, and she had to break free from the suppression of the three several times.
The helmet was discarded as it ran, its unkempt hair scattered, and the zipper of its silver-white hazmat suit was pulled open.
Wu Min hugged the medicine box, urgently injected her with a tranquilizer, and Kong Liu'an fell asleep.
At this time, Strassmann's autopsy was also completed, and he said: "It's strange, all parts are intact, and there has not been any attack. But look at his dying face. ”
Wrinkled skin, where is there any expression to speak of.
But Strassmann explained: "Extreme fear, like seeing something terrible before dying, directly leads to arrhythmia, myocardial infarction. ”
He did not explain the reason for the high degree of weathering less than 12 hours after the corpse's death, and that there may be an unknown substance on the skin that catalyzed the weathering of the skin tissue, which cannot be known without equipment testing, and the environmental cause can be basically ruled out.
At lunchtime, everyone who had seen the tragic situation of the dried corpse lost their appetite, and after taking off the chemical protective suit, the abdominal cavity of the dried corpse was cracked, and the intestines fell out like bacon.
