After the convoy left the lake far away, there were obviously fewer corpses on both sides of the road. After a while, it was already difficult to see corpses, whether they were humans or insects.
Ye Han believed that if he encountered a lake again, he would definitely encounter a similar situation, and the roads on the plateau especially liked to go to places with water, so they could not avoid it no matter what.
The next lake came faster than Ye Han imagined. After just over an hour, he saw a lake emerging from the horizon in the distance.
Ye Han has long been mentally prepared and confident that no matter what kind of situation he encounters, he can handle it calmly.
The situation of the soldiers was similar, and everyone felt calm in their hearts.
The scientific expedition team members are also used to seeing wind and waves. Although they are not as knowledgeable as the soldiers, they are not intimidated by this small scene.
After a while, the motorcade approached the lake. When everyone saw the lake shore, everyone was shocked - there were no human bones here, but they were filled with layers of giant insect corpses, many of which were bitten to pieces.
Ye Han carefully identified the ones he knew and didn't recognize them. All kinds of giant insects piled up like mountains and lined up along the lake shore, like a low dam built of insect corpses.
Luo Qi looked left and right, and said in surprise: "Who staged this?"
"Fuck you!" Ouyang Ping rolled his eyes, "Who is so careless?"
Luo Qi pointed at the insect dam: "Then tell me, what's going on?"
Gu Cheng said: "I know this, the reason lies in the water."
Ye Han asked curiously: "Is there something wrong with this lake?"
Gu Cheng laughed: "This is a saltwater lake, and the salinity is extremely high, and it also contains a lot of messy things. Not only would you drink it, but you would panic even if you licked it!"
Ye Han's eyes immediately widened: "You mean, these bugs are all dead?"
"It could be, or it could be poisoned by other substances in the water. Anyway, I haven't studied whether insects know how salty they are, so it wouldn't be surprising if they died."
Ye Han was dumbfounded: "Stop joking."
"I'm not kidding. If you drink it, you will die. What do you think will happen to the insects?"
Ye Han stared at Gu Cheng for a while, but couldn't find anything wrong. Then he turned his gaze to the lake and couldn't help but exclaimed: "How many bugs must be poisoned to kill such a big lake?"
"Not as many as you think." Gu Cheng said, "We come from the west, there must be more bugs. The further east we go, the fewer bugs there will be."
The situation is exactly as Gu Cheng said. The further you go, the lower the insect dam becomes. However, after a few hundred meters, the number of insect corpses can no longer form a dam.
Ye Han couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if the lake were bigger, the poisoned insects wouldn't be able to equal the results of several divisions in a year?
The further east the convoy went, the more lakes it encountered. Some were very small, with a circumference of only a few hundred meters at most, and some were so large that they could not be seen to the edge at a glance.
On the shore of every lake, you can see bugs or human remains. Gradually, the soldiers became accustomed to seeing them.
"Habits are really terrible!" Ye Han said.
Everything went normally for the next half day without any unexpected incidents.
In the afternoon, the convoy entered a section of road near the mountain. This section of the road was built on a steep slope close to 50 degrees. The upper and lower sides were filled with jagged rocks and slopes with sparse vegetation. From time to time, they encountered landslides. It was not an ordinary difficult walk.
The convoy stopped at the location of the landslide, and the soldiers got out of the car one after another. Gu Cheng almost despaired, thinking that the convoy couldn't get through and had to walk the rest of the way.
However, how could this little trouble faze the soldiers? They saw the soldiers approaching the off-road vehicle in twos and threes. A few of them stretched out their arms to lift the off-road vehicle and easily stepped onto the piled gravel.
, directly lifted the off-road vehicle over manually.
Gu Cheng's eyes almost popped out of his head, and he repeatedly praised the art industry for specializing in it. Why didn't he think of this method?
However, there were too many landslides on this section of the road, and there were five landslides in just a few kilometers. The team stopped and stopped, and the speed was only slightly faster than walking, not as fast as running.
By the time they finished walking this section, it was already three hours later. The soldiers reboarded the vehicle and were about to set off when a group of giant gray-brown insects jumped out of the ground on the side of the road without warning.
These bugs are small in size, only three meters long and just over one meter tall. But as soon as they appear, they spit out bone spurs at the convoy, hitting the off-road vehicles and soldiers with a clanging sound.
This was the time when the soldiers were at their most relaxed. Even Ye Han had relaxed his vigilance, and the sudden attack caught everyone off guard.
Fortunately, the armor of the soldiers was strong, and the bone spurs could not penetrate it at all. The soldiers immediately launched a counterattack. There was a loud burst of gunfire, and within ten seconds, all the stinging insects were wiped out.
Before everyone could breathe a sigh of relief, a scream that was not like a human voice penetrated the sky: "Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan!"
Everyone looked over at the same time and saw Gu Cheng squatting on the ground, holding in his arms a scientific expedition member whose left chest was penetrated by a bone spur.
That team member was petite, and she was the only female member of the scientific expedition team.
Ye Han's scalp exploded and he shouted loudly: "Military doctor!"
"Here!" A soldier dropped his rifle and quickly rushed to Gu Cheng's side, "Leave her to me and lay her down. Be careful and slow down!"
Gu Cheng was heartbroken, but still rational. He carefully placed the female team member named Yuanyuan on the ground. The military doctor immediately pulled out the data cable and connected it to Yuanyuan's armor.
Seeing Yuanyuan's physical data, the military doctor suddenly became anxious. Without saying a word, he took out the hibernating hormone and inserted it into the reserved injection hole on the armor without hesitation.
Gu Cheng was immediately shocked: "What is this?"
The military doctor ignored him and shouted directly to Ye Han: "Captain, her condition is very bad. I have injected her with hibernation, but the hibernation won't last long. She must be operated on as soon as possible!"
Ye Han was shocked: "Even hibernating hormones won't work?"
The military doctor said urgently: "She was injured too badly. Her lungs were penetrated and her heart was damaged. Without hibernating hormone, she would have been able to survive for a few minutes at most."
Gu Cheng grabbed the military doctor's arm: "What about now!"
"I'm confident within five hours. It's dangerous within five to seven hours. If it exceeds seven hours..."
Gu Cheng almost went crazy: "Please save her, please save her, she is only nineteen years old!"
The military doctor said: "I am a doctor, and I will do my best, but her condition is too dangerous. I need a clean operating room and a safe environment!"
Everyone in Ye Han's team is carefully selected, and the military doctor is no exception. He has the ability to perform medium-sized surgeries under field conditions, but Yuanyuan's injuries have exceeded the ability of the military doctor.
Gu Cheng immediately realized the key point, turned around and grabbed Ye Han's arm: "Captain Ye, please save her, please..."
