A hunting adventure [unlimited]

What is the concept of shoulder-length amputation of the entire arm?

The hand is the most sensitive and convenient organ of the human body. It enables people to have a high degree of intelligence and creativity. Yu Zhen dare not even think about losing a finger, let alone having an arm cut off.

Arthur's situation did not allow for their sympathy and hesitation.His right arm was purple in color, swollen to twice the thickness of the left, and the roots and vines parasitic under the skin were intertwined, as if using his body as a fertile soil to greedily absorb nutrients.

Without changing his face, Wuma drew the knife and cut the skin of Arthur's shoulder, a cluster of bloody green vines stretched out new shoots, tore the wound, and broke out of the flesh!Immediately, Qi Gen was cut off by the sharp blade, and Qi Gen fell into the sand.

They are like earthworms whose bodies have been cut off in half, with sand stained on their slippery skin, arching and wriggling in the sand...

Yu Zhen clearly felt that these plants are no longer eukaryotic organisms that simply use photosynthesis to support themselves.

Wuma picked up a struggling and writhing broken stem with the tip of the knife, as if looking down on a dying low-level worm, then the pair of golden eyes showed a bit of emotion, and said strangely: "...mutant."

The scorching sun was in the sky, and the dry and hot air made sweat flow down the ears and temples, but Yu Zhen felt the chill seeping into his back. He calmly suggested: "Send him back first."

Ryan and He Anli carried the stretcher out of the car. To avoid accidents, they did not touch the injured directly; Wuma moved the unconscious Arthur to the stretcher and carried him back to the car with Ryan.

Lena sat in the main driver's seat and contacted the landing module, reporting the situation: "C921-7, I'm Lena, there are wounded in the team, please prepare the medical cabin for surgery immediately, and received a reply."

Wuma knelt beside the stretcher, methodically injecting Arthur. Currently, he is the only one who is not afraid of touching those plants.

Yu Zhen noticed that under Arthur's pale skin protruded some bloodshot stems and leaves, which had extended over his shoulders to his collarbone and chest, eating away at the body along the veins of the pectoral muscles and shoulder fossa.

Arthur twitched more and more frequently. When the vines stretched towards his heart, he suddenly jumped up his upper body with spasms!Eyeballs turned white, and a puddle of blood was vomited up!

Yu Zhen backed away sensitively, avoiding the tragic scene of being sprayed with blood, and accidentally hit the edge of the seat with his back; while Wu Machu remained calm, silently raised his hand, thick blood dripped down his slender fingers.

Wuma's delicate cheek was spattered with a few drops of blood, he calmly said to Lin Qi: "Please help me get a towel, thank you."

Lin Qi went to the back seat of the car to search for an empty space in the medicine box. Wuma pressed Arthur's shoulders with bloodstained hands to stop him from getting up again; that face turned to look at Yu Zhen, with bright golden eyes and a tear at the end of the eye. The bloodstains were bright red.

"You'd better stand far away." Wuma said.

"Oh..." Yu Zhen hurriedly got up and walked to the front row.

Here, Ryan slapped the face of the drunk in the seat and yelled, "Chavez, Chavez! Wake up! You son of a bitch, I'm going to shoot your liquor store!"

"Rang Rang, I'll do it." He Anli pushed Ryan away, took a sip of water for himself, and sprayed it at the man who collapsed and fell asleep in the seat——

Reina's accentuated voice interspersed: "...C921-7, please reply if you receive it!"

……

Yu Zhen found a seat and sat down, paying attention to the communication between Leina and the landing module.

After an interval of 1 minute, a lazy male voice finally returned from the communicator: "C921-7 received."

Hearing the answer, Leina breathed a sigh of relief, and she pressed the speed of her speech urgently: "We are on the way back, quickly prepare the medical cabin, it will be used soon!"

"Rena? Do you need a med bay... wait, who's injured?"

"It's Arthur." Reina looked back at the wounded, the pool of blood next to the stretcher stimulated her optic nerves, she frowned, "I don't know what's going on, he looks like he was infected, vomiting blood, right The arm is scrapped; it is best to activate the quarantine procedure, I think... we, including this car, need to be fully disinfected."

***

The silhouette of the landing module appeared in the distance, like a gray eagle resting in the white sand.

The exploration vehicle approached at the highest speed, and the two figures left the cabin, standing in the shadows and waiting for them to be rescued.

Yu Zhen turned to look at Arthur on the stretcher. He thought it was too late anyway.

Arthur's right half of his body was completely taken over by vines, his bluish-purple skin was fibrous, and the roots, branches, and leaves were twisted and intertwined, symbiotic with bones and flesh.

Arthur was still twitching, but not from his bodily functions, but from the "loose soil" of the roots of the plants arching inside him.

He Anli turned her head to the side, and unconsciously scratched her forearm with both hands; Lin Qi beside her was still swollen and couldn't see any expression.Yu Zhen wasn't in the mood to mock others anymore, Arthur's death was so bad that he could remember it for a lifetime and have nightmares when he recalled it at night.

Yu Zhen took off his gloves and carefully checked the condition of his hands. There were no wounds on the surface of his skin, and the color of blood vessels was normal, so he should not be infected; He Anli also had no abnormalities, but they were all people who had touched vines.

So at least it shows that these plants enter the human body to parasitize through trauma, and they are not as pervasive as real infectious diseases.

Ryan held the gun, kept shaking his legs, and couldn't help but glance at Arthur. He swallowed his saliva and asked, "Hey, do you really think this guy can be saved?"

Chavez, half asleep, muttered, "He's turned into a tree, let's plant him in the desert..."

He Anli's face was solemn, and he made up his mind: "Take him back, even if he is dead, we must find out what killed him, otherwise we will not be able to move forward."

Wuma said softly, "It's too late."

He lowered his eyes to stare at Arthur's chest, the sound of bone crackling came through the skin, Gao Long's skin was like the belly of a pregnant woman, but the fetus grew in the heart; the sharp blade cut through the thin layer of support A clump of dark green leafy vines fiercely tore open the chest cavity, blooming vigorously!

"Fuck!" Ryan raised his gun and pulled the trigger on the bloody dark green plants!

He Anli immediately got up and ordered: "Drive the door—open the door!"

The fierce gunshots inside the car were deafening, blood, flesh and leaves splashed in all directions, and the scene was chaotic; Leina cursed and opened the car door, and the heat wave and wind rushed in at the same time, blowing the broken hair on Yu Zhen's forehead.

The plants that were shot were blown to pieces, but the speed of the guns was not as fast as their rapid growth. The vines turned the absorbed nutrients into lush branches and leaves, driving the slender but flexible vines to twist into a rope and attack them!The first thing it entangled was Chavez's calf-this has to make people doubt that it has an IQ.

Ryan turned his gun, smashed its roots and leaves, pulled his teammate who was dragging his feet to his side, slapped the opponent twice, and roared: "Chavez! Wake up, I!"

"Lin Qi, come here, jump out of the car immediately!" He Anli leaned against the car door with a gun in hand and shouted.The hair scattered around her ears was blown by the wind, and there was a sea of ​​pure white sand behind her.

Reina exchanged a glance with her, and proceeded to change the vehicle's driving route.

Lin Qi closely followed her steps and instructions, jumped out first, and rolled into the sand.

A thick and well-developed vine quietly climbed up the roof of the car, and He Anli raised his gun to aim and smash it to pieces!She turned to stare at Yu Zhen, and urged: "There is also you."

Yu Zhen obeyed the order and jumped out of the car. When she landed, she rolled and cushioned. The rough white sand poured into her collar and rubbed against her skin, making it scorching hot.

He stood up with his arms on the ground, and saw the black armored exploration vehicle speeding across the sand, dusty, and when it was only 15 meters away from the landing module, it made a sharp turn and diverted to the open south——

Several figures jumped out of the car door one after another with backpacks and equipment. The last one was Lena. She turned around instantly when she jumped into the air, and threw something into it. The flames ignited by the explosion!The vehicle, like a scorched black beast with a belly on fire, rushed forward crazily and disappeared at the end of the horizon.

***

The door of the landing cabin was not officially opened until the white anti-epidemic disinfection spray sprayed everyone.

"Welcome——" Yue Hai greeted them with open arms, and after seeing the expressions of each of them, he lowered his shoulders, "...go home."

No one paid any attention to this sentence. He Anli took off his coat and said to the team members behind him: "Everyone enter the medical cabin, don't touch anything, just go in."

The medical cabin is a white and bright hexagonal cabin. Wuma took off her coat and put on a white coat, standing beside He Anli.

"Don't keep any clothes, take them off and destroy them in a centralized manner." She said concisely, "It was my mistake that Arthur died, and I will hold a meeting to review it later; now for the personal safety of all members of the Dune, Wuma is needed Do a full body check for all of us to determine whether there is infection."

"Everyone take it off, and stand over there after you take it off."

Under such circumstances, there is nothing to worry about when you are naked and face to face. Wuma works very seriously. He wears sterile examination gloves and carefully examines and presses every inch of your skin to ensure that no plants take root in your blood vessels.

Those who are not infected after the examination can put on the sterile surgical gown and leave. Yu Zhen is the second to last, and there is only Chavez behind him.

When it was Yu Zhen's turn, he asked Wuma: "Is there something on it?"

Wuma raised her head with pure eyes, "Are you referring to the top of that building?"

Yu Zhen: "Well, what did you see on it?"

Wuma: "It's just ordinary scenery."

What is on the top of that ancient building covered with vines, whether it is an ordinary scenery, people other than Wuma will never have a chance to know.

Yu Zhen suddenly reached out to touch the soft blonde hair, and traced the smooth hair with her fingertips, "There is no deception in your program, right?"

Wuma smiled brightly at him, "How could I lie to you?"

Yu Zhen couldn't say why he asked this question, he just followed his intuition.

As An Li said, Arthur's death was a mistake, a mistake that could have been avoided; if Wuma had amputated Arthur's leg in the first place, it might have avoided the death of a team member and the loss of supplies.

The cyborg's duty is to correct human beings' mistakes when they can't make the right choice; but today, when they were consuming the best opportunity for healing, Wuma didn't remind them at all that "Arthur will die if this continues".

Wuma's indifference to casualties is worrying.As far as Yu Zhen is concerned, he will not trust his life to a robot who doesn't care about his own life.

Chavez finally woke up under the effect of the loud explosion. His face was pale and his movements were slow. He just took off his boots when Yu Zhen finished checking, and sweat dripped from the tips of his hair.

After Yu Zhen changed into the surgical gown covering her body, she looked up and found Chavez's injury.

Chavez's ankle was cut obliquely with a 7cm long wound by an unknown sharp weapon, and the blood from the flow soaked through the black trousers and boots; because he was drunk all the time and walked crookedly, no one noticed that he was seriously injured on the way back .

Yu Zhen didn't dare to touch him, he asked Wuma to inject Chavez with a local anesthetic first, and he was in charge of comforting him; then he handed Wuma a scalpel to cut open the wound.

"Just in case, take a look."

"Ah ah... ah..."

When Wuma cut the knife, Chavez fell on Yu Zhen's shoulder, closed his eyes and hummed in pain; Yu Zhen turned his face away, in fact, he didn't know how to comfort people at all.

When the skin was uncovered, a hair-thin vine covered the surface of the flesh and blood. It was closely intertwined with the blood vessels and grew as one, stretching to the calf of the wounded like a spider web.

Wuma repeated the initial diagnosis of Arthur: "I need amputation."

Yu Zhen wasn't sure if he should ask He Anli about this kind of thing first, but within a few seconds of his hesitation, Wuma had already cut off a thin vine, mixed it with blood and put it into a small glass jar.

"Don't ask her, she is not a medical professional." Wuma seemed to understand his thoughts, and relieved his doubts, "Please do me a favor and help the patient to the operating table."

Yu Zhen was very concerned about Wuma's behavior of leaving plant samples, he asked: "Do you know what those things are?"

"I don't know." Wuma asked him with bright eyes, "But they are very interesting, aren't they?"

The author has something to say:

Hahaha, keep the plant samples and raise them to play tentacles with you (no)
