Chapter 128: Go deeper

We told Professor Yu about the yak corpse. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The professor's assistant was very surprised when he heard this, saying that from the perspective of biological genes, zombies should be impossible creatures, and with our current scientific level, it is impossible to explain the fact that yaks eat people.

However, Professor Yu apparently does not think so, saying that there are many examples of animal zombies in nature, such as the recent discovery of a fungus called Ophiocordyceps Camponoti-Balzani in the Brazilian rainforest.

This fungus is terrifying, they can infect ants, then take control of their brains and turn them into zombie ants!

After turning into zombie ants, the fungus takes control of their brains and sends them back to the nest to infect more ants. Some scientists even claim to have seen entire nests of ants infected and turned into zombie ants, roaming in swarms in search of new infected targets, much like the corpse tide described in science fiction.

Professor Yu told us that there are more than 500 varieties of Cordyceps discovered by humans so far, but no one kind of Cordyceps has been found to infect animals or even humans.

I only thought that Cordyceps sinensis was a miraculous tonic medicine, but I didn't expect it to have such a terrible side, but if this kind of thing can really become 'winter sinensis', it will be too terrifying. Professor Yu said that it was very meaningful that the expedition had not yet begun, and that if it weren't for the fact that we were already in the hinterland of no man's land, he would have been eager to transport all those corpses back to the Academy of Sciences for in-depth study.

After the body recovers. Because I was worried about Xia Jiujiu's safety, I asked Tenzin Xu Holly where they were. Everyone heard that I was going to help, so they put on their clothes again. Prepare to come with me to support Xu Dongqing and them.

As a result, before we set off, there was a sudden burst of mastiff barking in the distance, Lu Xiaobra opened the tent door curtain, and found that Xia Jiujiu and the others had come back with a wolf-eye flashlight.

The tent was pulled open, and the returning warriors were suddenly covered with wind and snow, and a few were even carried back.

Elizabeth immediately walked out of the tent, and we followed out to help the injured person to the team doctor's tent for treatment.

Inside the tent, more than a dozen fighters were inhaling oxygen. There were also two mastiffs that were seriously injured, one with a splint on his body, and the other with a broken stomach and a soldier's overcoat on his body, which was about to die.

The soldier held the mastiff's huge head, and the tears in his eyes kept flowing out, this scene was so poignant that one of the soldiers told me that the mastiff would not have been so seriously injured when they killed the black fish, and then the black fish broke through the bullpen. The frightened yak ran wildly, and a military mastiff, in order to protect its owner, threw a warrior under him, and used his body to block the yak's trampling.

Wait until the herd disperses. The little soldier was unscathed, but the mastiff was trampled on his belly alive, and his intestines flowed to the ground and he didn't move his place.

Zhang Yingchuan and I have shallow eye sockets. After listening to it, I felt that my eyes were sore, and I almost cried. Seeing this, Lu Xiaobu hurriedly diverted the topic and asked why there were only three military mastiffs here. Where's the other one?

As a result, the little soldier who took care of the military mastiff was even more sad, because of Lu Xiaobu's words, he couldn't cry directly! Seeing this, Han Jindao's seniors walked up to the little warrior, stretched out his hand and pinched his neck, but he didn't know what technique he used, but he actually made the little soldier faint directly.

Lu Xiaobu's eyes widened, and he was going to fight hard with Han Jindao. Zhang Yingchuan grabbed Lu Xiaobu and hurriedly said: "Don't misunderstand, sad and sad, this brother is crying so much now, and he is on the snowy plateau, if you don't stop it in time, I'm afraid there will be a big problem." Han Lao did this for his own good. ”

We all wanted to know why the little soldier was crying like this, and in the days that followed, we gradually learned that that night, after the two yaks carrying the corpses went crazy, the whole herd was frightened, Xu Dongqing led the whole company and some members of the scientific expedition team who had not yet rested, and thought that they were attacked by wolves or brown bears and snow leopards, so they hurriedly went out to see what was going on.

As a result, the herd had gone berserk by the arrival there, and the whole pen had been shattered by the frightened yaks, and the two yaks that had carried the carcasses had eaten several cows, and a few of the yaks that had not died had dragged their intestines around, and there was blood everywhere.

Because the yak went crazy and couldn't stop it, Xu Dongqing had to order to shoot the cow.

As a result, after killing several cows that were very seriously injured and had broken their stomachs and were about to die, they found that one of them could not be killed no matter how much they were beaten. It's the black squire we saw later.

In our team, there are a few good shooters, although they are nominally here to escort us, in fact, their skills have reached the level of the 'Huaxia Dragon Group', and after several headshots and mud cows into the sea, we finally know that this matter is very unusual. This is the later incident that led the murderer into the glacier.

Although Xia Jiujiu and the others led the black lu to the vicinity of the glacier crack, the black lu could not fall into the glacier, but instead injured several soldiers with good skills.

Finally, when the black fish was closest to the ice crevice, the largest mastiff in the team swooped down and died with the black fish, both of them falling off the ice cliff.

We listened to the sighs, and for a time the whole team doctor's tent was extremely depressed.

Xia Jiujiu saw that our morale was low, so he said: "After this incident, I originally wanted to hold a mobilization meeting, but it was too late today, and we will leave early tomorrow morning to continue to go deeper. ”

After Xia Jiujiu finished speaking, he thought for a while and said, "Lian Commander Xu, Professor Yu, as well as Zhang Yingchuan, Lu Xiaobu, and Liang Jiu, the five of you will come to the Accounting Department." ”

I know that Xia Jiujiu is going to ask us about the Black Spirit, and I know that I am not qualified to participate in this kind of meeting, but I have the 'True Eye', and I am afraid that Xia Jiujiu is going to ask about the vision.

I was thinking wildly, and I remembered the scene of the demonic hell I had just seen through the eyes of the black skull, and I couldn't help but wander into the world, and when I came back to my senses, we were already seated.

Xia Jiujiu first inquired about the process of killing the black fish, we roughly recounted the situation just now, Xia Jiujiu nodded, and instructed us to disperse the meeting, in order to avoid that kind of evil and mysterious thing from happening again, we need to cremate the corpse, and only bring the ashes of the martyrs back to their hometown.

Tenzin and Professor Yu strongly objected to this, and Professor Yu believed that the corpses of the two 'demons' were of great value for research and had to be taken out of the snow and sent to the research institute.

Tenzin, on the other hand, believes that according to Tibetan customs, the body of the deceased cannot be cremated within 24 hours, because the soul remains in the body of the deceased and does not leave completely, and if cremated, the martyr's soul will be burned by the merciless fire and cannot be reincarnated.

After some debate, it was finally decided that since the yaks had been lost a lot, our team would be reduced to about 10 people, and the rest of the people would return to the base camp with the corpse of the black fish and a 'demon', and the bones of the martyrs would be cremated tomorrow in accordance with the customs of Tibet.

In the following time, we discussed the way forward, Lu Xiaobu analyzed the possibility of the existence of human and animal pits based on his many years of experience in the inverted bucket, and after reading the latest information sent by the Ministry of Meteorology, we decided that the original plan remained unchanged, and tomorrow we will continue to go deep into the Tibetan no man's land, looking for the lost country on the other side!
