Chapter 42: The Strange Anesthetized Rat
Quanzi shook his head, glanced at his wound a little helplessly and said, "Don't tell you, I don't know how the injury came about, when I followed that guy out of the tent, I felt my arm itching, I touched it with my hand, and saw that it was full of blood, so I stood up and sent a flare!" ”
Ai Qin helped clean the wound and sprinkled some white medicine to stop the bleeding, she pressed the wound of Quanzi and asked, "Do you feel pain?" ”
Quanzi shook his head and replied, "It doesn't hurt, really, it doesn't hurt at all!" I just never felt pain, so I thought it was weird! ”
Aichen said to us, "It's not to blame Quanzi, his blood was scratched by the anesthetized rat!" ”
What's the situation? This, am I illiterate again, and what kind of bird thing is the anesthetic rat, why haven't I heard of it at all?
Ah Fang also asked with a blank face, "What is a anesthetic mouse?" Is it a rat? ”
Ai Qin replied, "I haven't actually seen the real thing, but I heard a biology teacher tell me that in some caves in the desert Gobi in the middle of Australia, there is a kind of rat that grows in the Gobi in the middle of Australia, and their saliva contains an ether-like anesthetic component, which can anesthetize its natural enemies by licking its paws or saliva, and then eat it without the natural enemies being aware of anything." You see, Jeonko's blood is black now, and he doesn't feel the slightest pain, and when he says that what he sees looks like a mouse, I suddenly remember! ”
I felt that something was wrong when I listened, and hurriedly interrupted, "No, no, didn't Quanzi say that the mouse didn't attack him?" ”
"You can't detect that rat attacking you, it's like being bitten by a little ant!" ”
Ah Fang glanced at the wound that had been cleaned up by Quanzi, and said his question, Ah Fang pointed to the wound and said, "Ai Qin said this, it makes sense, I can't imagine that there is such a creature in nature." ”
Ai Qin said, "Many plants in nature have the effect of anesthesia for humans, and our ancestors didn't use Chinese herbs to make anesthetic powder, so it is not unusual for animals to have anesthetic functions." ”
I suddenly realized a problem and hurriedly asked, "Does your ass still hurt anymore?" ”
As soon as I said it, he stood up from the ground violently, and when he stood up, he felt that there was nothing wrong, and when he touched his buttocks, he said happily, "Hell, it doesn't hurt anymore!" Why doesn't it hurt at all! ”
I smiled and said, "Let's not argue about plants or animals, it seems that the anesthetic rat is not without benefits at present, you see, it has cured the pain of the whole buttocks!" ”
Ah Fang smiled, "This is estimated to be temporary, and when the anesthesia passes, it will soon hurt again!" ”
At this time, we didn't bother to investigate what Quanzi was caught by, because finding this answer didn't seem to be of any use to our search for that expedition team, but fortunately, Quanzi was nothing serious.
Ai Qin gave Quanzi an injection of antibiotics to prevent the wound from becoming infected, and then bandaged it with gauze, and after all this, the four of us were just about to breathe a sigh of relief, when suddenly all the four oil lamps went out without warning.
"Everyone is ready to fight, and nine times out of ten, two strange birds are ready to attack?" I asked.
"Good fellows, these two birds know how to extinguish our lights first!" ”
Ah Fang said, "It's not like the movement made by these two birds!" ”
The four of us were lying on the ground at the moment, and we felt a huge wind pressure coming from above.
"What a wind!" I wondered, "Where did the strange wind come from?" ”
Ai Qin shouted from the side, "Everyone, put on the oxygen mask!" ”
Hearing this, I couldn't help but sigh at Ai Qin's carefulness, the oil lamp went out for no reason, coupled with the sudden strange wind, it must be related to the changes in the surrounding air. I hurriedly held my breath and took out the oxygen mask from my backpack, and as soon as I put it on, I heard a "squeak, squeak" sound overhead, and then a huge army of bats descended from the sky.
It turned out that the army of bats, who had been scared away by our two gunshots earlier, had returned to the nest, and due to their huge numbers, they had created a strong downward pressure air flow when they entered the cave, which directly caused our oil lamps to go out.
The noise continued for about five minutes before it slowly quieted down, and I opened the wolf's eye to take a look at the cliff we had just come down from, and saw that our rope was completely covered with bats, and the whole cliff was covered with a thick layer of bats.
Quanzi said puzzledly, "Isn't this bat supposed to hunt at night, why will it come back tomorrow morning, why did it come back so early?" ”
I said, "You forgot that you woke them up from their dreams, and you don't allow anyone to come back and catch up on their sleep!" ”
"It's not the right time for these bats to come back, and if those two big birds in the sky come and attack us, will we provoke them by shooting!" ”
I nodded and replied, "Ai Qin has a point, from now on you should be cautious and cautious when shooting." ”
Quanzi didn't care, and said unashamedly, "Now that we are full of soldiers, what are we afraid of?" I don't believe that bats aren't afraid of bullets! ”
Ah Fang answered, "Don't worry about it so much for now, let's think about how we go to find those people first!" ”
As for the arrangement of how to act, I already had a plan in my mind when I had just treated Quanzi's injury, I beckoned everyone to sit down, and answered Ah Fang's question, "You should remember that the direction we came down was to the south of the sinkhole. ”
After speaking, he drew a direction map with his shoes on the ground, and continued as he drew it, "You see, the place we just came down is directly south of this sinkhole, the so-called up north and down south, left west and right east!" Fortunately, the sinkhole is a circle, so we will focus on the camp. ”
"We've just arrived at the underground cave on the left, which means that the southwest direction and even all the way to the west is the pool of underground river water, and the situation has been understood, so we don't need to waste too much time. The south, where we came down, stretching all the way to the southeast, is the territory of bats, and we don't have to go. Then it's easy to do, let's go all the way west from the edge of the waterhole to the north, then turn east, and finally from the southeast position back to where we are now, and we should be able to cover the whole area. ”
Ah Fang asked, "If we search along the edge of the sinkhole like this, will the range be too small?" ”
I replied, "The irradiation range of our wolf vision source is twenty meters, counting the influence of our surrounding environment, we can at least check the position of the front and back and the surrounding thirty meters, and it should be very simple to find the clues left by them within a range of thirty meters!" ”
Quanzi said, "Dezi's analysis is good, and the explanation of this map is even clearer, I have no other opinions, so let's do it!" ”
Ai Qin also said, "I agree too! ”
Ah Fang didn't speak, put his backpack on his back, grabbed the submachine gun in his arms, and shouted at me, "What are you still doing in a daze, let's start acting!" ”
I was stunned for what to do, not stunned to think about the fifth child, when I said those words just now, I felt like the fifth child was possessed, and I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, "Make a decision, this is really not simple!" After saying this, I looked up and saw that the three of them had begun to set off, and I hurriedly chased after them.
As I walked, I asked Quanzi, "What were you staring at those two birds just now?" ”
"I was going to find that strange mouse, but I didn't think I would have seen the two birds hovering there when I fired the flare, and I wondered what they were doing." ”
"Nine times out of ten, these two guys are watching our every move!" I said, "Especially that Archaeopteryx, if we kill it by mistake, it must be itching with our hate!" ”
Quanzi said, "I think so too, let's just pay more attention!" Anyway, we have submachine guns in our hands, and if they dare to attack us rashly, we will give them enough bullets! ”
Because of the taboo of these two strange birds, we had to look up from time to time to look overhead, and this action couldn't help but slow down our travel speed considerably.
We followed the same road we had just gone to wash our dirty stuff to the edge of the pool, and the assault boat was still firmly parked there! The bite marks of the baby fish on the hull of the boat are still there, but under the light of our wolf eyes, there is no shadow of the baby fish at all.
We walked north at a distance of five meters from the pond, and carefully guarded the quiet surface of the lake, always ready to be attacked by the mutated baby fish.
After walking forward for more than ten minutes, Ah Fang, who was walking in the front, shouted, "The pond is gone here!" "The halfway circle I just walked along the pond was almost all brown stones and the bones of some animals and fish, which made me feel a little chilling to watch.
Ah Fang shouted in front, and we also quickened the pace in the back, at this time Quanzi asked Ai Qin to step forward first, then took off his headset, turned back to me and whispered, "Damn, the back wound is starting to hurt!" ”
I was shocked, and then I took off the headset and said, "No, why is the anesthesia so short!" ”
Quanzi slowly took two steps forward and said, "Now my butt doesn't hurt much, but my arm hurts my heart!" ”
I joked, "If you knew about it, catch a mouse and take it, and let it bite if it hurts!" ”
Quanzi answered, "You haven't held back any good farts all day!" ”
I glanced at Quanzi's face, and saw that his face under the oxygen mask was already full of sweat, and it seemed that this kid was in a lot of pain, but he just endured it and didn't say anything.
I thought to myself, once Quanzi leaves the team, the next action will become extremely difficult, but at present, it is really difficult for Quanzi to continue to move forward with us, and I don't know what to do for a while.
