Chapter 453 Rebuild (5)
They continued to follow the path left on the snow. For about an hour and a half, the traces on it disappeared completely. The large ball of snow falling from the trees buried all the traces and could not tell the difference between them. The nine people looked at the delicate snow face in front of them in a daze, and stopped in place, unable to find the specific direction, and they did not know where to chase. Most of the surrounding scenery was the same.
Gabri climbed up an ancient tree and looked into the distance. Now there were no intermittent traces. The actual situation was different from Gabrie's judgment. He always believed that it would only happen after he walked out of this forest after he walked out of the weather. However, due to the weather, all the influencing factors were changing.
He took out the test tube in his small pocket around his waist and looked at it. It contained transparent liquid without any other obvious characteristics.
"It's still half an hour before the debugging stuff can work," he said to the eight other people who were on guard. "You can rest during this period, and it's been so long." His tone was very calm, and Gabrie finally endured his anger. These people had not caused him any trouble yet. The people who caused the trouble had died a few hours ago, although the entire process had not passed through his hands.
Half an hour was not long, but in the quiet woods, the body cooled down in less than a few minutes. Gabriel himself stayed on the big tree, resting with his eyes closed against the trunk, like a sloth lying there, motionless, with only a little ups and downs in his chest.
It seemed like I had fallen asleep, and several others guessed that they pushed a little less snow in the snow and gathered together, guarding and keeping warm to reduce the decline in physical fitness.
They also wanted to rest with their eyes closed, but the effect of the stimulant was still there, and their bodies did not allow them to close their eyes. There were not many people who could ignore the effects of the stimulant like Gabrie. Among their students at the same time, nine people were silently waiting for time to walk quietly.
When Gabrie opened her eyes, it was only half an hour later that his biological clock was very accurate, even comparable to some slightly more precise mechanical clocks. When adapting to various agents, this meticulous accuracy is required. It may have been developed in a large number of experiments, but this precise biological clock ability.
He jumped from the tree and fell into the snow halfway deep.
"Prepare to set off." He said expressionlessly, the time gap with the enemy was a little wider. He himself had no accurate answer to whether he could catch up with the enemy after this. It was snowing heavily now, and the environment had a great impact on various chemical substances. He could not tell whether the tracking substances left on the enemy would lose their due effect in the heavy snow.
The transparent liquid in the test tube turned pale yellow at this time, and was as thick as if it had formed into pieces inside. Gabrie then took out a small sprayer from the backpack, mixed it with liquid similar to a diluent, and poured it into the compression jar in the sprayer.
At this time, the others swept away a small layer of snow around them, revealing the snow layer about an hour ago.
He asked everyone to put on a breathing mask quickly, and he also covered the white mask on his face. Then everyone added two dark lenses to the glass sheets of the mask's eyes.
"Shit,,,"
Gabri raised his hand and stood in the wind and sprayed into the air a few times. The mixed liquid inside was sprayed out in the form of mist, as if it did not have the characteristics of most liquids. In an environment of more than ten degrees below zero, it did not turn into a white frost at the first time.
The fog spread into the air at an extremely fast speed and was diluted. There was no obvious change around it, and everything was operating in its original form and rules.
The other people seemed to have seen this kind of thing a few times. In about half a minute, there were other vague colors on the surface of the snow in the dark lenses. They were some black red patches, not many, and the patches were very unstable, and some of them were slowly dissipating.
The patches formed a line, pointing to the distance of the woods. Gabrie took out the map and compass, thought about it for a while, and finally decided on the general direction of progress and led the team to chase after him.
It took them a lot of time to walk out of the deep woods behind them, and the distance between them and the enemy was much longer.
Gabri looked at the gentle slope in front of him, which was completely covered by snow, and finally felt powerless. The snow was still falling in large areas, and the thickness of the snow was no longer thickened without limit. They had weight, and the bottom layer of snow began to be compacted, and the thickness dropped a little at this time. This may be good news. At some point, the wind that suddenly became a lot smaller became another comfort in their hearts.
The snowflakes had fallen almost vertically, as dense as curtains hanging from the sky. The surface of the snow was blown by the wind, and the view was greatly hindered. The objects began to blur a hundred meters away.
Gabri and others walked up the gentle slope along the cliff on one side, where you could hear the sound of flowing water flowing rapidly in the mountain stream below.
Now, it becomes troublesome for them to go further without going. It is no longer easy to extract traces left by the enemy on the snow through potions. Every time they judge the direction of the enemy's escape, they spend more than tens of times more time than in the woods. And they have to sweep the snow several times each time before they can see the obvious red patches.
Under the dark lenses, the red patches became very small, and the chemical traces were slowly diluted by the snow, and they would disappear completely in no time. Gabriel no longer had absolute expectations for catching up with the enemy.
"When these traces completely disappear, go back along the way to meet with Sanerna and the others." Gabrie thought so in her heart. Of course, it is the best result to be able to follow the traces to find the enemy. He believes that the probability of this possibility is not high.
It is certain that the toxic substances have begun to destroy the enemy's body. At this time, the enemy's movement power should drop to the level of ordinary people. A small part of the blood begins to solidify. The body tissue far away from the heart will lose consciousness first, and control will become troublesome at that time.
And the horror of the fifth type toxic substance is not the effect of blood coagulation, but a series of chain reactions caused by blood coagulation in the body and blood vessels. The body is a whole, and if there is a problem with one part, it will inevitably drag down other aspects. Moreover, the chain reaction speed is also very fast.
There was always a vast white area around. Gabrie and the others walked on the gentle slope for a long time, but they did not feel the reality of moving forward much distance.
Someone in the team suggested going back along the way to meet with Sanerna and the others, saving time to find other prey. There were more than a dozen captains and an enemy colonel. There were many goals, and there were many opportunities to earn points and high evaluations, not only enemies who could find them in front of you.
Not long ago, Gabriel searched for traces. Most of the potions in the small sprayer were used, but no matter how many layers of snow were swept away, those black red patches never appeared in their dark lenses. It has to be admitted that they did lose all traces of the enemy, and it was not only the enemy who was trapped by the heavy snow, but also themselves.
Gabri put away the sprayer, pulled off the mask, and sucked a few sips of cold air into his stomach.
Not far away, there was a forest, faintly blue and black. Intuition told him that the enemy might have gone there. The toxic attack of toxic substances occurred during this period. Perhaps if you walk a short distance, you can find the frozen enemy in the snow.
After going down the gentle slope, it was the woods. It would take about four or five hours to search it. It was completely dark at that time.
Gabri thought that Shannna's movements would not be much faster than her, so she decided to go to the woods. If there was no result, she would not miss anything when she came back. They also needed a rest, and that woods were also a good choice.
The others nodded and agreed, Gabrie's attitude was very firm. Others were unwilling to make Gabrie unhappy. Because they knew very well that even if the three people were not killed by the enemy, they might die one after another due to other accidents on the way to pursue the enemy. There was an asymmetry between them and Gabrie, so there was no fairness at all.
The woods under heavy snow were almost exactly the same, and they felt like they had returned to the origin. They could not find valuable clues, so they could only follow the edge of the woods and push them over layer by layer. It took about two or three hours to search the area in the woods, the area that the enemy most likely walked through, but they still did not get any information.
The sky became darker early, and the heavy snow that had been falling for a whole day finally became smaller. The wind became even smaller, and the frozen leaves no longer collided with each other and made sounds.
They started walking back, and the light became much darker on the way and might be dark early.
Having completely lost his prey, Gabrie did not rush back to meet Sanerna.
"Find a place to repair it, restore your spirit and physical strength, and set out after about six or seven hours." He told the people behind him that no one had any objections. He followed the enemy's trail for almost a day, requiring attention to be concentrated at any time, which made them feel their heads hurt.
"There is a cave." Someone pointed at a distance and said, "Everyone opened his eyes wide and looked over. The color of the mountain was almost mixed with the dim light in the woods."
"It's right there, passing by the tree bit by bit. The snow is getting lighter. If other teams pass by here, it will be easy to spot us within two or three hours." Gabrie said, and after climbing the tree, he swung over flexibly and jumped to the cave.
This cave is not sealed, and there seem to be other outlets connected. Gabrie stood in front of the cave and felt a faint wind blowing on his face, which was a few degrees colder than in the woods. It also brought his familiar smell, which was the smell of blood. In addition to basic courses, his own learning direction was chemistry. He liked to tinker with various agents and chemicals, many of which were biological agents. During the experiment, most of the processes would look at the effect of the agent on the blood.
And even if they are not familiar with it, as long as the smell is surgically modified, the smell of blood can still be detected. Others also came to the cave at this time and smelled the bloody smell in the wind to varying degrees.
The few people looked at each other and their bodies became tense again after relaxing. They turned on the flashlight fixed on their heads, tightened the cold hats, and then reorganized the team, picked up their guns and walked in little by little.
I carefully observed the space inside the cave. The space inside the cave was very spacious, and not far away, several molecules appeared, and each molecule was blown out from his mouth.
Gabrie asked the two of them to stay here, and when they found something was wrong, they immediately fired. In the cave, the gunshots could be heard far away in an instant, and they were not afraid that they would not be able to hear them.
He himself followed the smell of blood with others. The smell of blood became stronger here, the cave was not very deep, and it might be dozens of meters away after walking, and they found the source of the wind.
"The cave here seems to be like a tree root, spreading from the top of this mountain range to the foot of the mountain." Gabrie looked at the small wind cave on his head and judged in his heart, "No wonder the wind is so cold, it all flowed backwards from some caves on the top of the mountain."
These wind holes that emit wind are very small. Gabrie believes that they can be compared to the air-conditioning pipes used in households, but there are more in number. After walking through the wind hole, the air warms up a few degrees at once, and the bloody smell is even more serious. They feel that they are close to the source of the blood smell. Under the light of the flashlight, they see the end of the cave, where the space is slightly larger, and it is a small cavity.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! In the cavity, they saw a dark shadow under the light, printed on the stone wall of the cave, as if it was something on some living organisms.
Several people leaned against the mountain, twisted a few fluorescent sticks at the same time, threw them into a dark cavity, illuminating it. There was no one, only some scattered snow-white dead bones, but they were obviously not human, as if they were some animals. Judging from the color of the bones under the fluorescence, they had been dead for a while.
In a corner of the edge of the cavity, they saw something similar to a nest. Some animal was digging through it with its sharp claws, and there was a small shallow pit. Inside the pit was the source of the smell of blood. There were a pile of complete animal organs, clean skeletons, a pair of fur and a huge head. It was the head of a brown bear living here and hibernating.
Several people walked over and turned the brightness of the flashlight to the maximum.
The shallow pit was filled with brown bear's organs and blood. The blood had not completely condensed, and only half became jelly-shaped. There were also large areas of solidified blood on the ground at the edge of the shallow pit, which might have been spilled out.
Gabrie observed carefully from the side. Through the huge brown bear's head, it was completely imagined how strong the hibernating brown bear would have. An ordinary brown bear weighs about eight or nine hundred kilograms, but this adult brown bear may be considered an alien in this ancient mountain range, weighing at least about one and a half tons, Gabrie thought.
But such a huge brown bear was dead, and all the meat was eaten clean. And it seemed that the time had just passed, and the colors on the organs were still fresh. Just as Gabrie was thinking about who killed the brown bear, under the light, he felt something was wrong with the blood condensed in front of him. It was a difference in color, a difference in taste, and a difference in essential composition of the blood.
He had a bad premonition, so he immediately squatted down and grabbed a handful of frozen blood, put it in front of him and looked carefully for a few seconds.
"Go back!" Gabrie immediately shouted, "What might have happened to the two people outside."
The others didn't understand what was going on, so they could only run back behind Gabrie.
Gabri had no time to explain at this time. In his eyes, the blood that became ice cubes had two colors. If you carefully distinguish them, you could see the difference. The blood came from two different organisms. One of them was obviously from the brown bear, but whose other one would be?
Gabri was not sure, but he had thought of a possibility. It was the enemy's, and the toxic substance circulated in the blood and acted directly on the blood. It had already played a role, causing the enemy's blood to begin to solidify.
The enemy does not have the ability to configure antidotes, and can only reduce the toxic substances in the body through the most primitive method to prevent them from continuing to circulate. It is very ancient, but absolutely practical, and in theory it is also a method that may work. That is, let go of all the blood in the body, and then re-create enough blood through your own bone marrow to maintain the basic functions of the body.
It takes a lot of energy to make the bone marrow produce hematopoiesis, and the brown bear hibernating is full of flesh and blood that can be linked to enough energy.
