Chapter 68: Strange Corpses
(Ask for collection, ask for collection, the current collection is miserable~~ Woo, there are a lot of manuscripts now, you collect, I burst better?) )
"Ding: Your minion deals 218 damage to the Tank Bug and triggers an implosion effect, resulting in 423 damage."
"The tank bug has zero health and is dead."
"Your Minion has zero health and is dead."
After two death prompts in succession, the juggernaut prompt came again:
"Ding: You killed the Zerg Tank Firethrower, you gain 2,000 reputation points, and you gain 1,000 survival points."
Of course, this is the most basic reward, and the silver key that dropped doesn't count.
What do adventurers hate the most? It's undoubtedly a monster grab!
This kind of behavior is like a day/people's wife, digging people's ancestral graves, and cutting off people's financial routes, which is unbearable! Why is Lao Tzu tired for a long time, you come up and pick peaches, you don't take Lao Tzu in your eyes at all!
However, in this kind of chaotic battlefield, the success of the monster robbery depends on the ability, and if you can't get the head, you can't blame others.
was finally won by Qin Fen, and the other adventurers' faces were not very good-looking, but the wood was already in the boat, and it was a cooperative scene here, and they couldn't kill people and sell goods, so they had to give up in the end. On the contrary, it was the soldiers nearby who cheered like a tide, and everyone's prestige rose more or less, which made the adventurer's face look a little better.
“gogogo!” An officer with the rank of colonel waved his arms vigorously and yelled, "You bitches, you bitches, you must rush to the No. 1 main base within half an hour with the speed of picking up girls!" ”
More and more soldiers gathered together and headed for the main base of Terran No. 1, five kilometers away.
At this time, there were almost no airborne soldiers in the sky, and 300,000 people landed on this desolate and lonely complex landscape, advancing towards the No. 1 main base while fighting to the death with the Zerg.
During the march, the adventurers naturally formed a group, but the atmosphere was very stiff, few people spoke, and it was obvious that they were worried about not being able to grab heads.
Scouting, flanking guards, main fireman...... Although everyone did not communicate much, they cooperated very tacitly, and followed the large army in a hurry.
Along the way, there were stumps and scraps everywhere. The corpses of the Terran GIs were mostly mutilated, torn apart by bugs, and their weapons were stained with blood and bug slime. Insect corpses can also be found everywhere, and the faint smell of corpses is scattered all over the place, almost blocking the road.
Blood, screams, gunshots, death, that's what makes the most impressive impression of this war.
……
A few minutes later, we ventured out of the hilly terrain and encountered a tidal flat. It is said to be a tidal flat, but in fact it is a small river ditch that stretches through the ankles, about ten meters wide, I don't know whether the river water is clear, and now only the muddy and filthy smell that has been trampled on is left, and it is mixed with wisps of dark red blood.
In a muddy puddle not far from the river, the group found the corpse of a shriveled soldier with a swollen belly. The GI had multiple injuries on his combat uniform, and his tactical helmet had been lost. His face was blue, his mouth was wide open, his eyes were sunken, and there was a faint dark red streak of blood swimming under his skin.
"This guy died a strange death, how could he fall here......" Qin Fen and the others ignored the rancid and rotten mud pond, walked directly to the corpse, and examined it carefully.
"There is a laceration wound on the back, three claw marks, deep into the spine, but it is not fatal, it should be left by the Zerg sappers...... The pupils are dilated and the muscles are slightly relaxed, indicating that death is not sudden. ”
While making a report, the werewolf scientist opened the soldier's mouth very professionally, looked at it carefully, and even put his nose up and took a deep breath, and said:
"The tongue coating is black, the mouth is very smelly, there is a smell of hydrogen chloride, and the body has obvious symptoms of decay and shriveling......"
Some adventurers impatiently said:
"What are you talking about so much nonsense, it's just a corpse, it's not like I've never seen it. It's only right that we should hurry as soon as possible. ”
"If you don't like it, you can go first, no one will keep you." The Titan said coldly.
The adventurer stared, as if he was a little unconvinced, but he also knew that it was too dangerous to leave the team and go it alone, so he had to keep his mouth shut honestly.
The Titan walked over to the corpse, looked at the marks left by the struggle on the ground, and said thoughtfully:
"There were only traces left by the soldier in the vicinity, and from the various shades of footprints, it seems that he must have been hit hard first, and then something else...... I knew something was wrong, I broke away from the group, struggled to get here, and then simply fell to the ground. He was unconscious, convulsing incessantly, and vomit began to overflow from the side of his mouth. This can be seen in the viscous liquid that surrounds it. ”
As he spoke, he suddenly noticed that the soldier's right leg was a little abnormally thick, and hurriedly stepped forward to check, tore off the tattered tactical uniform, and suddenly found that a very terrible wound had been cut on one of the soldier's calves. Judging by the shape of the wound, it should have been bitten off by the Zerg sappers, and the wound had formed a thin layer of red-black blood scabs. At this time, the wound had deteriorated very badly, and there was a simple splint made of tree branches on the calf, which was pasted with some thin mud, and the crust had dried up by this time.
The werewolf scientist took out a green military water bottle with a solemn face, and after rinsing the mud and dirty blood near the wound with clean water, he immediately found that the area around the calf was swollen and shiny, almost reaching the thickness of the thigh, and the wound was reddish-purple, even though the soldier was dead, it was still spilling some yellow liquid from one jump at a time.
This is a very obvious sign of suppuration, followed by ulceration, first yellow-green pus, with a foul odor, the person will have a high fever, dizziness, headache, nonsense, and finally death.
When the other adventurers saw this, they frowned and did not speak, but they also found the strangeness of the situation. The werewolf scientist took out a medical scalpel, rinsed the yellow-green pus from the wound with water, and then began to use a sharp scalpel to cut off the carrion from the wound, stripping off the blackened and rotten parts.
Strangely, even though the soldier was dead, there was still blood gushing from his wound.
"It doesn't take more than five minutes to die, and the blood in the body hasn't coagulated yet, that's why it flows out," someone said, and then asked curiously, "What are you going to do?" ”
The werewolf scientist didn't speak, just squinted his eyes, picked up a handful of metal tweezers, and inserted it into the wound like lightning, and when he took it back, there was indeed a slender red worm caught on it, the worm was about ten centimeters long, and the anthrivular annular body resembled an earthworm, which was clamped at one end, and was writhing and struggling hard!
Everyone gasped slightly, "Bugs? Special classes? ”
Qin Fen shook his head, his face solemn: "The instinct of the Zerg is the evolution of higher creatures, so the possibility of producing such a weak parasite unit is very small......"
The Titan also took a deep breath, "Then the other possibility is ...... He was infected with parasites in this river! ”
Continuing to inspect the soldier's body, he was surprised to find that under his belly, a red, swollen and inflamed bulge was swollen, the bulge was already swollen and translucent, and even faintly visible some photophobic transparency, there seemed to be something swimming in the pus, the insect had the posture of a snake, and the disorder like a hair, which was extremely strange.
The werewolf scientist even saved the effort of disinfection, picked up the scalpel and cut the pustule directly along the abdominal line, but saw the hair-like insects inside burrowing into the soldier's body! The werewolf scientist's technique was also very fast, and the scalpel immediately slashed down the bottom of the pustule, directly dissecting the entire belly.
This was followed by a scene that made everyone's scalp tingle and gasp!
In the soldier's stomach, there was a large mass of red, entangled and wriggling worms with the thickness of a pen lead, which were cut off several by the werewolf scientist's knife, and after these insects fell to the ground, they bounced wildly on it, like fresh shrimp out of water! Only more bugs had burrowed into the flesh of the soldier and disappeared again. The few pieces of flesh that fell to the ground quickly shriveled and died after squirming for a moment and not being able to find the parasite. It smells fishy.
"We're in trouble." Qin Fen took a deep breath and said helplessly: "I said before that the environment on the Zerg home planet is not suitable for human survival, the air here is mixed with a large number of toxins, with strong ultraviolet light, and a very variable temperature difference between day and night, I didn't expect such a terrifying parasite to lurk in a small ditch......"
Someone said with an ugly face:
"Damn the Juggernaut! But we have to cross this river! ”
"That's right, it's probably one of the more difficult things Juggernaut has set up." One adventurer snorted, "If it was a little narrower, everyone would have jumped over, but now it's stuck in our extreme jump distance...... Hmph, it's not that simple, let's get through. ”
In the end, it was the Titan who said in a deep voice:
"It shouldn't be that scary. There were already quite a few soldiers crossing the river ahead, but they were all fine. On the other hand, the parasite is supposed to be a very inferior organism, and they only have a simple friend or foe identification mechanism. For example, a river crosser with a torn tactical suit and a warm, damp bleeding wound on his body will be parasitized. ”
This was said in a "ambiguous" manner, and the faces of several female adventurers in the team turned pale.
It's been more than ten minutes since the airborne, and what adventurer dares to say that he has no injuries on his body at all? After all, it is a soldier who charges into battle on the front line, bumps and bumps are inevitable, and it is not a problem to scratch a little skin...... But now, a river of terrifying parasites lurks and stumps everyone.
