Zuo Jia stood up from the last tied soldier, took off the rubber gloves on his hands, and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Fenghuang and others had been standing beside him, watching him examine those people. At this time, he hurriedly asked, "How is the situation? What happened to these people?"
Zuo Jia pondered for a moment, and then said, "The symptoms are the same, but they seem to be lighter than him. Maybe it's because he drank less river water."
Fenghuang and others looked at each other in confusion. There was nothing they could do about this matter.
Zuo Jia continued, "I observed these people and found that the purple sand seems to be a metal element, but it is a very rare metal element. Once it enters the human body, it will combine with the iron element in the blood.
The substance that re-formed into crystals filled the blood vessels of these people."
"It seems that if we can find a way to prevent the combination of this element and the iron element, can these people be saved?" Someone asked, and this is what everyone thought of.
Zuo Jia nodded, but then shook his head, "According to common sense, this is the case, but the premise is that none of us know how to stop it, and we don't even know what element it is."
This sentence made people's spirits, which had just been aroused, sink again.
"It would be great if Yanran was here." Phoenix remembered that Mo Yanran was an all-around genius, and couldn't help but subconsciously said something, but then he laughed at himself, "I'm afraid we can't even hold on until the reinforcements arrive, haha."
At this time, a tied soldier suddenly struggled violently and shouted loudly, "Drink water, I want to drink water."
People immediately gathered around him to check on his condition. Zuo Jia suddenly felt something in his heart. He turned around and shouted, "Who still has water?"
Several soldiers handed over their water bottles. Zuo Jia grabbed a water bottle, put it to the soldier's mouth, and fed him several sips.
After drinking the water, the soldier's struggle weakened and he seemed much quieter.
Zuo Jia handed the kettle to a soldier next to him, then turned around and said, "Gather all the kettles and distribute them uniformly. One-third of them will be used for these people to drink. I want to see if they drink the water."
How will they change?"
Everyone scrambled to take out all the kettles, put them together and handed them to someone for safekeeping. Then someone separated the kettles and placed a dozen of them next to the group of people.
Phoenix looked at everyone, and then said, "Everyone, please go back first, there is nothing going on for the time being."
People turned around and walked towards the camp. After taking only two steps, they heard Zuo Jia say, "From this moment on, you must pay close attention to the situation of your comrades around you, and report any abnormalities immediately. You must remember this."
"Understood!" We are all warriors, so we naturally understand this.
Seeing everyone disperse, Zuo Jia and Fenghuang felt heavy in their hearts. They felt the great responsibility.
"Zuo Jia, please take a rest." Seeing that everyone had returned to the camp, Fenghuang said to Zuo Jia, who looked very tired, "You haven't rested all night."
Zuo Jia shook his head, pinched his forehead hard, and said, "Captain, we don't have much time. We must seize the time to find a solution. It doesn't matter if I don't sleep for three to five days. I can still persist."
Fenghuang tried to persuade her a few more times, but when Zuo Jia insisted, she had no choice but to give up.
At this moment, footsteps were heard in the mist, followed closely by the guards' shouts and questions, and then the voices of He Lei and the others.
Fenghuang was overjoyed and rushed forward to meet them. He saw two people sweating profusely, each carrying a corpse. When he saw the faces of the two corpses, he immediately exclaimed, "It's Xiao Liu and Han Dafei!"
Zuo Jia stepped forward to the two corpses, looked at them carefully, and then shouted, "Put them on the ground and I will check them."
Before joining the special operations team, Zuo Jia was a child of a medical family and was quite accomplished in medical skills, so in this case he was usually the one to conduct the examination.
He Lei and Wang Mu placed the two corpses on the ground, and then said, "Squad leader, these two people we met on the road, there was also a man and three horses, all in the same situation."
"All three of them are dead!" Phoenix sighed. These were all soldiers of her team. Unexpectedly, they did not die in the hands of the enemy, but died in such a strange valley.
Zuo Jia felt his pulse, then looked at his eyelids, then opened other parts, and finally stood up and said, "It was caused by a nerve agent, and it is a very powerful nerve agent that can cause people to
Strong hallucinations."
"What the hell is this place that doesn't allow people to live?" A soldier from the team couldn't help but muttered.
"What are you shouting for?" Fenghuang scolded him, "I'm here now, give me some time to recharge my batteries."
When the soldier saw Captain Phoenix getting angry, he hurriedly gave a military salute, then turned around and ran away!
Although all three people were found, all they saw were their corpses, which made Fenghuang and the others feel very bad. They were all comrades in arms, and after getting along for a long time, they naturally developed feelings for each other.
After ordering people to place the two corpses properly, Fenghuang and Zuo Jia continued to stay where they were, observing the situation of those people.
Over this period of time, the symptoms of all five people have worsened. One of the most severe cases has even stiffened his left foot and lost consciousness. The purple color can be seen through the skin.
Although the remaining four people are doing better, their consciousness is no longer clear, and only basic heartbeats and breathing are left.
Zuo Jia looked at those people, he really couldn't think of any way to deal with them.
During this period of time, Fenghuang carefully asked He Lei and Wang Mu about the situation when they went to seek help. When they learned that the other party was just holding on to the valley entrance, they did not speak for a long time, and finally allowed them to continue talking. After they had finished speaking,
When it was over, she nodded, "You did the right thing. Since you can't rush through, you can't act recklessly and cause unnecessary losses."
"Then what should we do next?" the two people asked Phoenix, "You can't just wait to die, right?"
"Send a signal bomb every half an hour and a flare every hour. As long as Luo Xiao sees it, he will definitely come to us." When Fenghuang said to Luo Xiao, his tone was full of determination, as if he didn't do it.
Things that don't come up are average.
The special operations team members also gained confidence. They immediately began to prepare, and then sent out signal bombs every half hour and one illumination bomb every hour.
Time passed little by little, and more than half of the signal bombs and illumination bombs were used up, but there was still no movement from the reinforcements.
During this period of time, Zuo Jia drank all the water from the dozen kettles into the stomachs of five people. It seemed to have some effect, and the symptoms of the five people were obviously slowed down.
Seeing that it was effective, a large portion of the drinking water originally reserved for everyone was taken out, leaving only a small part for everyone to drink.
Everyone is persevering and will never give up until the last moment!
Phoenix was sitting in the tent in the camp, holding her knees with her hands and looking up at the tent roof above her head, in a daze. Now that she had done everything she should do, she had no choice but to wait.
"Luo Xiao, you must arrive in time!" A soft sigh came out of his mouth, and Phoenix closed his eyes slightly.
In another tent, He Lei and Wang Mu wiped the submachine guns in their hands with very focused expressions, as if they were caring for their children.
Beside them, Zuo Jia stared outside, holding a piece of grass in his mouth, and asked after a long time, "Have you thought about it?"
With a click, the magazine was loaded into the gun. The two people stood up and looked at Zuo Jia, "Squad leader, we have already thought about it."
Zuo Jia also stood up, looked at his two soldiers, suddenly smiled, and stretched out his fist to hit their shoulders, "Then go ahead, my soldiers are not cowards, they are all solid men."
"Squad leader, let's go!" The two men picked up their submachine guns and stepped out of the tent.
As soon as the two people came out of the tent, they were shocked by the scene in front of them, because their tent was surrounded by soldiers from the Hidden Dragon Mountain Team, all of whom looked at them with eager eyes.
"You, why are you all here?" He Lei and Wang Mu swallowed and asked, feeling a little uncomfortable being looked at by so many eager eyes.
Qingshuang walked out of the crowd, looked at Wang Mu and the others, and said in a deep voice, "We know that you want to force your way to the valley entrance. You two can't do it alone, so we decided to send a few people to go with you."
"Really, that's great!" He Lei and Wang Mu were worried that there were too few people, but someone took the initiative to participate, which made them overjoyed.
The crowd divided, and a dozen people walked out of the crowd. They were all warriors from the team who had been in contact with the river water. They were fully armed and looked serious.
Qingshuang said, "These people have all been exposed to the river water, and they voluntarily followed you to the mouth of the valley."
Those soldiers shouted, "Let us go, even if we die on the battlefield, it is better than dying like this." It can be seen that they followed them out of their own hearts and were not forced.
Qingshuang also walked up to Wang Mu at this time, stared at him, and suddenly said, "Wang Mu, I'm waiting for you to come back, you must pay attention to your safety."
She and Wang Mu already had a good impression of each other, but they had never spoken out before. Now at this critical moment of life and death, she was worried that if she didn't talk about it, she might not have the chance to talk about it.
Wang Mu's face blushed slightly, and then he stretched out his arms to hold Qingshuang in his arms, patted her back gently, and then said, "Don't worry, I will be back."
The two hugged each other for a moment, and Qingshuang pushed Wang Mu away and said, "Let's go!"
He Lei and Wang Mu looked at each other, and then shouted, "Okay, come with us."
The dozen or so people let out a cheer and followed the two people towards the mist, while the remaining warriors consciously moved to both sides, watching them leave as if they were sending off a hero.
I don't know when Phoenix had appeared at the door of the tent. She watched the soldiers leave, the corners of her eyes getting a little moist.
