Alien Relic Hunter

Chapter 946 Infiltrating the Ark
Hearing what he said, everyone looked up one after another, and saw that the original smooth edge of the ark now seemed to have a row of jagged jagged teeth.

"What is this? Who brought a low-light telescope? Lend me to use it." Soap turned around and asked.

"It's something that grows on this layer of creep." The captain of the spear team put down the binoculars and threw it to Soap, "It looks a bit like an ancient ballista."

"Calista?" Soap grabbed the binoculars and looked at the row of "sawtooths".

It can only be seen after zooming in. Each sawtooth is actually a firing device with bones as the bow and muscles as strings. In addition to the most basic bowstring structure, there are many details that are not clear at this distance. , combined with its size, it is really similar to the ancient ballista in history books.

"It seems that these are the things that attacked us just now." Soap said, "These things didn't exist an hour ago..."

"It's an adaptive defense ability." "Joker" said to Soap, "It can evolve and mutate itself according to the type, ability, and characteristics of the enemy, and in a short period of time, it can produce organs that can effectively deal with and counter the enemy. ’, there is a kind of mutation and erosion that has such an ability.”

He paused, and then commented: "Very tricky ability."

"Mutated Seed of Corrosion? Is this thing a Seed of Corrosion? If so, wouldn't our active ammunition have an effect on it?" A relic hunter said a little excitedly.

"It's useless." "Joker" shook his head, "The essence of active ammunition is a kind of toxin that specifically targets the seeds of erosion. The effect of the toxin is directly linked to the dose. You can only use it to kill an ant just enough." A dose of the toxin of [-] to an elephant would have no effect."

"..." Everyone looked at each other, seeing a trace of despair in each other's eyes.

Even if all their active ammunition were added together, it would not be enough to put them in front of this layer of creep that was large enough to wrap the entire ark. At best, it was equivalent to a drop of ink dripping into the sea.

"What's more, it's not sure if this thing is a seed of erosion." "Joker" added.

"I hope not." Soap whispered, "If it is, then you can't even touch it."

Soap and the giraffe participated in the last defensive battle of Mukahe Fortress, and they also took on several missions to assist the regular army in destroying heretic sect strongholds. are highly toxic, and they are also highly toxic to humans.As long as there is a slight touch, even if there is no obvious wound on the surface of the body, the cells of the Seed of Corrosion have a high probability of invading the human body from the skin, and then alienate the original cells of the human body into their own kind...

For those with "good luck", the Seed of Corrosion will condense a "core" in the chest, using this person as a host to provide nourishment.Before the new Corrosion Seed enters the rapid change period, the host can still live as a container for several months to several years.Those who are unlucky, on the other hand, will directly turn into a monster, heading towards self-destruction in madness.

Just as everyone was thinking about the next countermeasures, the scout team in front suddenly sent back a message.

The message is transmitted by light signals. Of course, it uses infrared rays instead of visible light. It is also a thermal imager that is responsible for receiving the messages. The rhythm of changes in the intensity of infrared rays represents the long and short signals in Morse code, and then these The signals are compiled into messages written in human language.

"The scout team said they found the person who escaped from the ark!" The soldier in charge of receiving the news raised his hand from the decoder and said to the captain of the spear team, "But the other party is seriously injured and has no value for treatment. .”

This kind of light signal can convey very little information, and it took a full minute for just these two sentences.

"Let the scout team carry out immediate treatment, at least to ensure that when we rush over, the person is alive." The captain of the spear team said decisively, "Everyone else, gather in my direction, change to a high-speed maneuvering formation, and move towards me at full speed. The position of the scout team has moved!"

The captain of the spear team didn't ask more about the wounded in the communication - it was useless to ask, and it would be a waste of time.He knew that the scout team didn't carry much medicine. Apart from the standard first-aid kit for the field corps, there were only some things like stimulants and quick-acting blood coagulants. Even if you think about it, you know it's impossible.

"Medical soldiers are ready for first aid and are allowed to perform surgery if necessary." The squad leader hurried forward while giving orders, "I don't need you to revive him, but you must wake him up so that he can tell What happened on my ark... By the way, the permissions of all restricted drugs are all open, and you can use them directly if you want to use them, no need to ask for instructions."

After saying this, he looked at Zao Zao and the others again, and asked, "Among you, is there anyone who is good at first aid in the field, or is a doctor as a side job?"

There were originally two medical soldiers in the spear team, but one of them, like the sniper in the scout team, died during the emergency landing. Once surgery is needed later, a person with medical skills must come Serve as an assistant to the only surviving medic.

"I can." "Joker" raised his hand.

"You... you?!" The captain of the spear team turned his head and glanced, and after finding out that it was "Joker", a look of surprise appeared on his face, "You... isn't your specialty in airplanes or machinery? I thought……"

The pilot of the transport plane following "Joker" also looked at "Joker" in surprise.

"No, I'm mainly an information dealer, a sideline mercenary, and I have nothing to do with a mechanic." "Joker" said, "It's just that I always act alone. Everyone knows that the skills that people who act alone need to master are There must be a little more, so I have dabbled in various majors... I am not proficient, but it should be enough."

"That's fine, you will assist Ronnie later." The captain of the spear team didn't care too much about it. Since someone can do this, it is naturally the best.

Roni was the surviving medical soldier in the Spear Squad, and the only woman in the squad.

"Quicken up your pace, I don't care about hiding your whereabouts at this time." The team leader urged again, and the news from the scout team was that the person "has lost the value of medical treatment". People have only breathed out but not breathed in. They may be a few minutes late, and all they can see is a gradually cooling corpse.

On a one-kilometer road, fully armed infantry are required to run within 6 minutes in a state of rapid march. The requirements of the special forces will be stricter, usually four and a half minutes, but this time, they only took 3 minutes. In less than a minute, they ran to the place where the scout team found the survivors.

Of course, the price is that the formation of the entire team is stretched to pieces—only Soap, the giraffe, the clown, the captain of the spear team, and a few others who have undergone body enhancement surgery or transformation surgery have rushed to the target location. A full two-thirds of the people were left behind, including the medical soldier named Roni.

The survivor found by the scouting team was half buried in the soil. According to the description of the scout who found the survivor, at the beginning, the survivor basically only had one face and half of his chest exposed, in order to prevent the chest from being compressed. As a result of suffocation, the scouts only helped him clean up the sand above his chest, but did not dare to move the rest of his body—this man had multiple fractures in his body, if he was forcibly dug out of the soil, improper operation would only cause more damage.

Maybe he just swallowed the breath he was hanging on.

"Is the person still alive?" The panting captain of the spear team glanced at the "survivor", then turned to ask the scout of the scout team.

"He's alive and still has a heartbeat, but his condition is deteriorating rapidly." The scout sighed, "We can't do any first aid for him in this state, and we only dared to give him one-third of the stimulant. Dose... was going to give him oxygen, but he can't seem to get it in..."

The scout's handling method was correct. The survivor's body was buried in the soil, and every part of his body was oppressed. If he was injected with a full dose of stimulants at this time, it might cause blood pressure to rise sharply, If a blood vessel in the brain bursts and dies, it is not saving lives, but urging them to die.

"Damn that guy, Ronnie, I told her a long time ago that she either needs to undergo intensive surgery or double exercise, and she ignores it every time!" The team leader said a little impatiently. There was no sign of those stragglers at all, and I didn't know how long it would take for the medical soldier named Roni to arrive.

But now, for this survivor, every second that dragged on, the hope of being able to be revived... or in other words, the hope of being able to wake him up, became slimmer.

"Let me do it," said "Joker," "I can lend you a few soldiers, okay?"

"...Okay!" The team leader gritted his teeth and nodded, "You can ask them to do whatever you want."

Originally, the clown was only assigned to assist the job, but now the assistant has become the one who takes the lead. It would be a lie to say that the captain is not worried... But for some reason, the captain has another voice in his heart He told him that as long as he believed in this person nicknamed "The Clown", he would be able to create another miracle just like he did on the transport plane.

The "clown" squatted down, checked the condition of the survivors carefully, and then opened the emergency medical kit—the emergency medical kit contained a set of simple surgical tools, including scalpels, scissors, and hemostats, but generally Soldiers at most use these tools to perform minor operations on wound treatment and hemostasis. Major operations are simply impossible.

But as soon as the "clown" got the scalpel, without even the most basic disinfection, he directly slit the survivor's throat!

"What are you doing? Do you really know how to save people?" The giraffe who was watching was startled and asked immediately.

"His condition is very bad. I don't guarantee that he can be saved." "Joker" said silently, but the knife in his hand didn't stop, and he cut all the way down the survivor's throat, cutting a wound about three centimeters long. mouth.

If there is another person who is proficient in medical skills here, he will be surprised to find that the "clown"'s knife control technology is very delicate. He only cut the survivor's skin, and did not hurt the trachea and carotid artery. Well, there wasn't much blood from the incision.

"Survivor's breathing is obstructed, and endotracheal intubation must be performed. I need a hollow tube, preferably clean... If there is none, dirty ones are fine. The diameter should not exceed [-] centimeters, but it should not be too thin. Otherwise, the ventilation will not be enough." "Joker" said to everyone without raising his head.

"Pipe...pipe...gun barrel?" Soap glanced at the assault rifle in his hand. The diameter of the barrel obviously exceeded the standard of [-] centimeters. Shoveling this thing into a survivor's throat would only kill him. People were stabbed to death.

"Use this." The captain of the spear team took out a pen, pulled out the refill and nib, leaving only a hollow pen barrel, and then washed the remaining ink inside the pen barrel with drinking water , and handed it to the "clown".

"Okay." The clown took the penholder and stabbed it directly into the incision in the throat.

In the next second, there was a "whoosh" sound from the gas flow at the opening of the penholder.

"This is amazing..." Soap looked at the side until his eyes almost popped out, "This...is this a life saver?"

"It's still far away." "Joker" shook his head, "I just kept his brain from being necrotic due to lack of oxygen for the time being. Let alone resuscitating him, it's hard to say whether he can regain consciousness."

At this time, medical soldier Roni finally arrived here, and without taking a breath, she immediately squatted down and took down the medical box behind her.

When he saw how the "clown" treated the survivors, he was taken aback for a moment, and then asked, "Have you studied first aid in the field... No, you have a lot of first aid experience in the field?"

"It's just a little dabble. Since you are here, you should take the lead and I will assist you." The clown handed over the scalpel in his hand.

"No, I'll help you." Roni just glanced at the incision, and she was sure in her heart that the man in front of her who was completely wrapped up was far superior to her in medical skills.

"That's fine." The "clown" didn't refuse, and immediately arranged tasks for everyone, "Come two people, use the engineer shovel to carefully dig up the soil around the survivors, start digging from the far end, and be careful not to let the shovel touch the survivors." Get to his body, and another person will give him CPR, don't use all your strength, try to be as gentle as possible, he has multiple fractures in his ribs, don't let the broken bones penetrate into the internal organs."
