Chapter 436: Swamp Forest (19)

In Strathman's long memory, Su Hao's name would almost be forgotten if it was not mentioned again, and people who liked adventure during the Republic of China had heard of a thunderous name, he was Su Hao.

Qijian asked, "What, it sounds like you know this Su Hao?" "Is it really from the Republic of China period? Even Strassman, an old fox who can change his face dramatically when he hears Su Hao's name.

Everyone present looked at Strassmann with suspicion, and the shock of his words was too strong. With Strassman's high age, he would not have any memory of a young man who seemed to be in his early twenties, and from his tone, it could be heard that the name Su Hao was a figure he greatly admired.

There was silence in the room, and everyone felt their hearts beat suddenly, listening to Strassmann's slow narration: "Speaking of Su Hao, the first time I heard the name Su Hao was a few decades ago, in the turbulent social era of the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. The first time I came to China, I was a small child, and I liked to read the adventures and biographies of explorers since I was a child, and almost everyone in the circle knew that there was a great yellow explorer in the ancient East. As you know, because of the color of the skin, few yellow-skinned people are popular in the Western world, and Su Hao is one of them. ”

Listening to Strassmann's narration of the experiences of the characters during the Republic of China is like listening to a piece of vivid history that is close at hand, and the protagonist of the story is now lying on the ground.

The fat man said thoughtfully: "Is he really a person from the Republic of China?" Still alive, or in your twenties? ”

He wrinkled his dry lips, and Qijian immediately said to Han Qingxin, "Feed water, give him some water, quickly." ”

After a few mouthfuls of sweet underwater belly, the heat of his body slowed down a little: "I didn't expect to meet Su Hao at this age, he was already a world-famous explorer when I was young." No one knows how old he is, and the few people who have seen him describe him as a young man in his early twenties, but his age doesn't match his experience, so I guess he must have been in his thirties at the time, and who knows how old he was. ”

Strassman smiled bitterly: "It is said that Sven Heding was the first person to discover the ancient city of Loulan, in fact, the first to excavate and explore the Lop Nur Sun Tomb and Loulan ruins was the Jiang family, and then it was Su Hao's exploration and excavation during the Republic of China, and finally it was Sven Heding's turn." As a Chinese, Su Hao is simply the representative of the most outstanding person of your race, who has traveled all over the world, as far as the hinterland of Antarctica, and explored the pyramids. In fact, to put it bluntly, you are also a famous tomb robber among you, who has excavated many mausoleums, even the large imperial tombs that are old and densely populated, and he has come out alive. I remember that when I first came to China, he had a great reputation, and his whereabouts were even more strange, and I had never met him. ”

Zhu Beichen lowered his head and looked at the shriveled old man on the stretcher, silent for a long time, his eyes were confused, because he was telling Su Hao's history, and this Su Hao looked exactly like himself.

In the following decades, Su Hao seemed to have completely evaporated from the world, since 1930, it is rumored in the circle that Su Hao has pulled up a huge "professional" team, in just a few years to search for capable people in the tomb robbery circle, through the spending of money to recruit a group of people. At that time, it was rumored in the circle that Su Ye must have found a large tomb, and he couldn't eat it alone, so he entangled a group of people to prepare to go to the ground.

"Probably since 1932, Su Hao's figure has disappeared in the circle, no one knows where he went, and rumors that he had found a large imperial tomb spread. Almost everyone believed that he must have died underground because of his lack of strength. Through the gap between the figures, Strassmann caught a glimpse of the stiff corpse lying behind them.

"He's Su Hao?" Strassman asked, rubbing his blurred gaze.

"Yes, he is what you call Master Su, but it's a pity that he is dead." Shichima said.

With a long sigh, Strassmann fell into a long silence, Su Hao was the only yellow man he admired in his life, the kind of admiration and respect that he had cultivated since childhood. They could feel the sadness in Strathman's heart at this time, Su Hao could be said to be the greatest tomb robber of that era. No, the vocabulary used by foreigners is still more obscure and elegant, and they call it explorers.

"Su Hao has been on the road of exploration all his life, and dying here is his best destination." Thinking of how similar his situation is to Su Hao, he has spent his whole life on the operating table facing fresh life, or nesting in the laboratory studying viruses and bacteria, and finally died under inexplicable germs.

This kind of revenge, although belated, came too cruelly.

……

How's it going? Shichima asked. It had been a few hours since Strassmann fell into a hot coma again, and now that they had left the wooden house, Zhu Beichen and the fat man carried a stretcher for a long distance, and the smell of sandalwood could still be faintly smelled in his nose.

The wooden house behind him has long been gone, and the longer he stays here, the more frightened Zhu Beichen feels, everything is out of control, and he has no power to do anything at all. They took Su Hao's diary, and some of the adventures in it might have helped him on this trip, but he never knew that the fat man had returned to the wooden house to pick up an important thing under the pretext of going to the toilet, which would cause a series of troubles.

Now the most important thing is Strathman's condition, Han Qingxin has already said that there is nothing they can do, they can only watch the old man's vital signs continue to deteriorate. The weight of the stretcher was noticeably lighter than before, and on the stretcher was a wizened life, close to Strathman, who had run out of oil.

The vein-like lines spread all over the body, like Gu worms wriggling with blood-red bodies under the cortex, curling up and stretching their bodies, climbing and staggering along their limbs inch by inch. Every time his body temperature rose sharply, the worm's wriggling activity increased, barely penetrating the skin and gushing out of the surface of his body to expose him to the air. And when his body temperature continued to drop and entered another period of his illness, the insects all over his body suddenly hibernate again, and the pink body could still be vaguely seen sleeping under the almost frozen fiasco.

July, who is familiar with the situation of biological breeding, of course knows that there are Gu worms under the skin, and with such a thin flesh and blood body to breed many Gu worms, the result can only accelerate the death process of the host, and continue at this level of reproduction and hatching speed, I really doubt that he can survive tonight and see the sun the next day.

Han Qingxin walked at the front of the team tiredly, and the sadness in his eyes became more and more obvious.
