Chapter 87: Severe Hypothermia

I was anxious to know the situation of Xiao Guolin's team, and when I saw that the two of them had temporarily suspended the fight, I hurriedly squatted down to check on Hu Aiguo's injuries. As soon as I touched him, I knew that the external injuries caused to him by Platoon Commander Zhao were not the main cause.

Hu Aiguo is still breathing, although it is very weak, but this is also the thing that makes me feel most grateful. However, his body temperature was very low, and his body was naturally curled up, obviously not because of the natural protective action made by Platoon Commander Zhao, but because of the cold. I asked Platoon Commander Zhao to light a torch and open one of Hu Aiguo's eyelids, and his pupils dilated.

Platoon Commander Zhao and I said in unison: "Hypothermia." ”

Those of us who often come out to work in the field know more about hypothermia, and I have experienced it. But I wasn't as serious as he was at the time. Hu Aiguo's current situation should be said to be very dangerous. I am still continuing to check him, and Platoon Commander Zhao has already begun to give Hu Aiguo artificial respiration.

His clothes were almost wet, which I couldn't understand, but I didn't have time to think about it. I immediately stripped off his clothes and said to Platoon Commander Zhao, "Your soldier, you can warm him." ”

Platoon Commander Zhao was embarrassed for a moment and said, "Grass." Lifting the robe that the sleeping bag had changed into, dragging Hu Aiguo into the robe, two men *naked* into a sleeping bag.

The posture of the two of them is like this, Platoon Commander Zhao is lying on the ground, and Hu Aiguo is lying on top of him. I looked at their posture and felt like I couldn't look any further. turned to squad leader Liu and said, "You give him artificial respiration, and I will bake his clothes." ”

Squad Leader Liu didn't say a word, and immediately knelt on the ground to give Hu Aiguo artificial respiration.

Hu Aiguo's skin is blue, which is obviously a sign of severe hypothermia, whether it is to warm him or do artificial respiration, it will be a long process. The person who did the artificial respiration was better, and Platoon Commander Zhao, who passed his body temperature to him, was obviously extremely uncomfortable. If I had to do this, I think I'd break down too. At this time, Platoon Leader Zhao and Team Leader Liu had a tacit understanding, no teasing, no disputes. It's just that the two of them don't have any communication, and their expressions are weird.

I hurried to bake Hu Aiguo's clothes. Hu Aiguo didn't have any food on his body, but the marching pot was filled with water. Another thing that puzzled me was that he didn't have an automatic rifle on him. A gun, for a warrior, is tantamount to a second life. It's like Platoon Commander Zhao, who didn't throw away his pistol when he knew he was going to die.

I don't know if I can save Hu Aiguo, Platoon Commander Zhao and their actions are just doing their best, hypothermia has reached this stage, and the probability of death is very high. Although I desperately want to get news of Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe through him, it is very likely that I will find nothing. I want to be mentally prepared for this. I began to speculate on the problems that Hu Aiguo might encounter based on his current situation. Of course, he must have encountered ** annoyance.

Hypothermia can occur only in a person of his age, and that is from prolonged exposure to low temperatures or falling into water. The temperature in the passage, even if naked, would not cause hypothermia, and combined with his wet clothes, I judged that he had fallen into the water.

There is water in the channel, which is naturally good news, because with drinking water, we will survive much longer, and if there are edible organisms in the water, we even have hope of survival.

But another question arises, the temperature in the channel determines that the temperature of the water source here is not too low, even if the rate of body temperature loss in the water is fifteen times faster than in the air, but it will take a long time for a person to suffer from hypothermia in not very cold water. What's more, Hu Aiguo's severe hypothermia will only occur for at least a day after soaking in water where the temperature is not very low. After calculating the time they entered the passage, it would not take only a short time to walk here, then he would be soaked in water for the rest of the time, and he would not have such a severe hypothermia. Unless there is a very cold water source here, that's the only reasonable explanation I can make.

If this is the case, the situation of Xiao Guolin and Cao Mingzhe is even less optimistic. This situation has occurred for young and strong fighters like Hu Aiguo, and those two old guys can only be worse, I'm afraid they are already ...... When I think of this, my heart is unusually heavy. I felt guilty that my persistence had hurt them.

Torches are a luxury for us to use to bake clothes. Fortunately, the torch was very hot, and the clothes were quickly dried, so Platoon Leader Zhao and I quickly dressed Hu Aiguo, and Platoon Leader Zhao dragged Hu Aiguo into his sleeping bag and hugged him. I saw him let out a long breath, and it seemed that it was not easy to hold another naked man.

I pointed to the torch and said to Platoon Commander Zhao, "I'm going to extinguish it." ”

"Yes." Platoon Commander Zhao said: "I have to eat something, otherwise I will be cold before he gets warm." ”

Squad leader Liu, who was giving Hu Aiguo artificial respiration, stopped. I heard him swallow a mouthful of saliva, and then his stomach gurgling. This is a silent protest.

I know that at this time, there will be people who will not be satisfied with anything. But before I could express my position, Platoon Commander Zhao successfully resolved the matter. "If any of you two is willing to take over my place to keep him warm, I have no objection to giving him my share of food."

Without even thinking about it, I said, "I agree with you to eat." ”

Squad leader Liu didn't speak, and began to give Hu Aiguo artificial respiration again.

Watching Platoon Leader Zhao grab a small handful of fish from the bag, I took a bite of my saliva and stepped on the torch. Then, in the darkness came the sound of chewing, swallowing, artificial respiration, and gurgling stomachs.

Saliva increases the ability to break down food, and if there is no food, it is a form of torture. I couldn't stand the craving for food, so I couldn't wait to tear off my sleeping bag and eat it bite by bite. I had a flash of inspiration and reached into my sleeping bag and fumbled in the compartment. In fact, the last time I was looking for food, I had already groped through my sleeping bag, and this time it was just a fluke. But it was really a fluke, I touched one, took it out and put it to my mouth, only to find that it was not a fish stick, but a cigarette.

Without thinking about whether this thing could be eaten or not, I immediately took a bite of the bottom half and chewed it in my mouth. Although the voice was not loud, it was still heard by squad leader Liu.

"Brother Qiang, what are you eating?" Squad leader Liu stopped doing artificial respiration and asked me.

I reluctantly handed over half of the cigarette. "Here, half more."

One hand followed the sound to touch half of the cigarette in my hand, and then I heard squad leader Liu chew it. After a while, squad leader Liu let out a satisfied sigh.

PS: Is it the weekend today? Time flies. I wish you all a happy Zhou.
