Alien Relic Hunter

After hearing what he said, everyone looked up and saw that the originally smooth edge of the Ark now seemed to have a row of jagged jagged teeth.

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

It's something that grows on this layer of fungi. The captain of the spear team put down the telescope and threw it to Soap. It looks a bit like an ancient ballistae.

Ballista? Soap grabbed the binoculars and looked at the row of saw teeth.

Only after zooming in can you see that each saw tooth is actually a launching device with bones as the bow and muscles as the strings. In addition to the most basic bow string structure, there are many details that are not clearly visible at this distance. , combined with its size, it is really similar to the ancient ballistas in history books.

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

It is an adaptive defense ability. Joker said to Soap, It can evolve and mutate on its own according to the enemy's type, ability, and characteristics, and in a short period of time, it can produce organs that can effectively respond and counterattack the enemy. ’, there is a mutant erosion seed that has such an ability.”

He paused, then commented: A very tricky ability.

Mutated corrosive seed? Is this thing a corrosive seed? If so, wouldn't our active ammunition have an effect on it? A ruins hunter said excitedly.

It's useless. Clown shook his head, The essence of active ammunition is a toxin specifically targeted at the seeds of erosion. The effect of the toxin is directly linked to the dose. You can only poison one ant with it. A dose of toxin used on an elephant will have no effect.

... Everyone looked at each other and saw a trace of despair in each other's eyes.

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

What's more, it's still unclear whether this thing is a seed of erosion. Joker added.

I hope not, Soap whispered. If it were, you wouldn't even be able to touch it.

Soap and Giraffe had participated in the last defense battle of Mukach Fortress, and had also taken on several missions to assist the regular army in annihilating the heretical sect's strongholds. They knew the characteristics of creatures like Corrosion Seed very well - active ammunition was very important to them. are highly toxic, and they are also highly toxic to humans. As long as there is a slight touch, even if there are no obvious wounds on the surface of the body, there is a high probability that the cells of the erosion seed will invade the human body from the skin, and then mutate the original cells of the human body into its kind...

For people with good luck, the erosion seed will condense a core in the chest and use this person as a host to provide nutrients. Before the new erosion seed enters the period of rapid transformation, the host can still survive as a container for several months to several years. A person who is unlucky will directly turn into a monster and go to self-destruction in madness.

Just as everyone was thinking about the next response, a message came back from the scout team in front.

The message is transmitted by light signals. Of course, it is not visible light, but infrared. The one responsible for receiving the message is also a thermal imager. The rhythm of the change of infrared intensity represents the long and short signals in Morse code, and then these are Signals are compiled into messages written in human language.

The scout team said they found someone who escaped from the Ark! The soldier responsible for receiving the news raised his hand from the decoder and said to the leader of the spear team, But the other party was seriously injured and has lost the value of treatment. .

This kind of light signal can convey very little information. Just these two sentences took a full minute.

Let the scout team carry out treatment immediately. At least, ensure that the person is alive when we rush over. The captain of the spear team made a decision immediately, Everyone else, gather in my direction, change to a high-speed mobile formation, and move toward me at full speed. The location of the scout team has moved!

The captain of the spear team did not ask more about the wounded in the communication - it would be useless and would be a waste of time. He knew that the scout team did not carry many medicines. In addition to the standard individual first aid kits provided by the field corps, there were only some stimulants and quick-acting coagulants. They relied on these things to snatch people from the hands of death and use their heels. Just think about it and you know it's impossible.

The medical soldiers are prepared for first aid and are allowed to perform operations if necessary. The team leader hurried away while giving orders, I don't need you to revive the person, but you must wake the person up so that he can tell What happened on my Ark... By the way, all permissions for restricted drugs are open. If you want to use them, just use them without asking for additional instructions.

After saying this, he looked at Soap and the others and asked, Are there any of you who are good at field first aid, or are doctors as a side job?

There were originally two medics in the Spear Team, but one of them, like the sniper in the Scout Team, died during the emergency landing. If surgery was needed later, someone with medical skills would have to be there. Act as an assistant to the only remaining medical soldier.

I can. Joker raised his hand.

You...you?! The captain of the Spear Squad turned his head and took a look, with a look of surprise on his face after discovering that it was Joker, You...isn't your specialty related to airplanes or machinery? I thought……

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

No, my main job is an intelligence dealer, my side job is a mercenary, and I have nothing to do with a mechanic. Joker said, It's just that I have always acted alone. Everyone knows that people who act alone need to master the skills There must be a little more, so I dabble in various majors...I’m not proficient, but it should be enough.”

Okay, you will assist Roni later. The captain of the spear team did not think so much. Since there is someone who can do this, it is naturally the best.

Roni is the surviving medic in the Spear Team and the only woman in this team.

Everyone, hurry up. We don't have to worry about hiding our whereabouts at this time. The team leader urged again. The news from the scout team was that the man has lost the value of treatment. To put this sentence in simpler terms, it is The person can only breathe out but not in. He may be a few minutes late, and all he can see is a body that is getting colder.

On a one-kilometer road, the fully armed infantry were required to run within six minutes in a rapid march. The requirements for the special forces were more stringent, usually four and a half minutes, but this time, it only took them three Within minutes, they reached the spot where the scout team found the survivors.

Of course, the price is that the entire team's formation has been stretched to pieces - the only ones who rushed to the target location include Soap, Giraffe, Clown, the leader of the spear team, and several others whose bodies have undergone enhanced or modified surgery. Fully two-thirds of the people fell behind and were left behind, including the medical soldier named Roni.

The survivor found by the scout team was half buried in the soil. According to the description of the scout who found the survivor, at first, only his face and half of his chest were exposed. In order to prevent compression of the chest Causing suffocation, the scouts only helped him clean up the sand above his chest, but did not dare to move other places - this man had multiple fractures in his body, and if he was forcibly dug out of the soil, improper operation would only cause greater damage.

Maybe he just swallowed the breath he was holding on to.

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

Alive, with a heartbeat, but the situation is deteriorating rapidly. The scout sighed, In his current state, we can't give him any first aid treatment, and even we only dare to give him a third of the stimulant. The dose...I wanted to give him oxygen, but he couldn't seem to get it...

The scout's handling method was correct. The survivor's whole body was buried in the soil, and every part of his body was compressed. If he was given a full dose of stimulant at this time, his blood pressure might rise sharply. If you die from a burst blood vessel in your brain, you are not saving your life, but is isting your life.

Damn it, that guy Ronnie, I've told her a long time ago that she should either undergo strengthening surgery or double her training, but she turned a deaf ear every time! the team leader said impatiently. He looked back and saw in the darkness There was no trace of those stragglers at all, and I didn't know how long it would take for the medical soldier named Roni to arrive.

And now, for this survivor, every second that passes, the hope of being able to be revived...or in other words, being able to wake up becomes slimmer.

Let me come. Joker said, Can I lend you a few soldiers?

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

Originally, the clown was only asked to do auxiliary work, but now the auxiliary has actually become the one who takes the lead. To say that the squad leader is not uneasy is definitely a lie... But for some reason, the squad leader has another voice in his heart. He told him that as long as he believed in the man nicknamed The Clown, he would be able to create another miracle like he did on the transport plane.

Joker squatted down, carefully checked the situation of the survivors, and then opened the emergency medical kit - the emergency medical kit came with a set of simple surgical tools, including scalpels, scissors, and hemostatic forceps, but generally At most, the soldiers could only use these tools to perform minor surgeries to treat wounds and stop bleeding. Major surgeries were simply not possible.

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

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 can't guarantee that he can be saved. Joker said silently, but the knife in his hand did not stop, and he slashed along the survivor's throat, cutting a hole about three centimeters long. Kouzi.

If there is another person here who is proficient in medical skills, he will be surprised to find that the Joker's knife control skills are very sophisticated. He only cut open the skin of the survivor and did not damage the trachea and carotid artery. Even this knife cut open , there was not much blood from the incision.

The survivor's breathing is obstructed and tracheal intubation is necessary. I need a hollow tube, preferably a clean one... If there is none, a dirty one will do. The diameter cannot exceed 1.5 centimeters, but it cannot be too thin. Otherwise, the ventilation will not be enough. Joker said to everyone without raising his head.

Pipe...pipe...barrel, okay? Soap glanced at the assault rifle in his hand. The diameter of the barrel clearly exceeded the standard of 1.5 centimeters. If he shoved this thing into the throat of the survivor, it would only hurt him. People were stabbed to death.

Use this. The captain of the spear team took out a pen, pulled out all the refills and nibs, leaving only a hollow pen barrel, and then rinsed the remaining ink inside the pen barrel with drinking water. , handed it to the Joker.

Okay. The clown took the pen and stabbed it directly into the throat incision.

The next second, a whooshing sound caused by the flow of gas came from the opening of the pen barrel.

This is really amazing... Zao Zao looked at it with his eyes bulging out, This... is this a life-saving treatment?

It's still far from enough. Joker shook his head, I just prevented his brain from dying due to lack of oxygen for the time being. Let alone resuscitating the person, it's hard to say whether I can restore his consciousness.

At this time, medical soldier Roni finally arrived. Without even taking a breath, she immediately squatted down and took down the medical kit behind her.

When he saw the Joker's treatment of the survivors, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked: Have you learned battlefield first aid... No, you have extensive experience in battlefield first aid?

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

No, let me assist you. Roni just glanced at the incision and was already sure in her heart that the man in front of her, who was wrapped up tightly, had medical skills far superior to hers.

Okay. The Joker didn't refuse, and immediately arranged a task for everyone, Two people will use engineering shovels to carefully dig away the soil around the survivors. Start digging from the far end, and be careful not to let the shovels touch them. After reaching his body, another person should perform CPR on him. Don’t use all your strength, but try to be gentle. He has many rib fractures, so don’t let the broken bones penetrate his internal organs.”
