Snakes are not social animals. If there are multiple snakes doing something together, it would be quite bizarre and weird.
At first, snakes gathered due to meteorites from the sky, which was recognized as a strange event. Now that they actually besieged the military camp, it seems even weirder.
Although venomous snakes are scary, there are very few venomous snake species that actively attack humans. Before the King Cobra attacks, there is a series of intimidating actions. Only when the intimidation fails, it will take the initiative to attack. The black mamba, known as the most venomous snake in the world,
They only attack humans when they feel threatened and are passively defending themselves.
So when I heard that venomous snakes gathered outside the military camp and actively attacked the military camp, everyone present was extremely shocked. Chu Yang is the defense commander here and is responsible for all emergencies. When he heard the soldiers' report, he immediately took people out to check.
Li Qingyun was also very curious and followed him to investigate the situation. When he walked to the entrance of the camp, he found many soldiers holding flamethrowers and spraying flames. There was already a vague corpse of venomous snakes on the ground, including various types of venomous snakes, and even ordinary non-venomous snakes.
Li Qingyun didn't see the king cobra with its tail cut off, and he didn't know if the siege had anything to do with it. There were only more than a hundred venomous snakes in the attack. Since there were protective nets around the camp, they could only enter through the entrance.
.
This attack was a failure. After leaving a pile of corpses, no other new venomous snakes appeared. The soldiers breathed a sigh of relief, but Chu Yang still frowned. He said to the middle-aged officer beside him: "There are more and more unreasonable things.
The more you go on, the harder it will be for a rough-edged person like me to hold on, which shows how much psychological pressure ordinary soldiers suffer. Report to the higher ups. Let those foreigners enter!"
"Okay, I'll go right away." The middle-aged officer said, turning around and leaving with the same solemn expression.
The injured who did not take the space spring water only improved slightly and their injuries were alleviated, unlike the injured King Cobra who recovered at a miraculous speed.
Zhou Tao lost this round, and even ordinary soldiers who did not understand medical skills could see it. Zhou Tao actually fell silent and stopped provoking Li Qingyun, but only he knew what he was thinking.
It's not that Li Qingyun doesn't want to cure all the soldiers, it's just that based on the precedent of Li Qicun's treatment, the ancestral snake medicine does not have such a strong effect at all. If he cures all the people, it would be strange for Li Qicun not to doubt. The treatment is good.
Two cases can be said to be coincidences. If they are all cured, they will definitely not be able to explain themselves.
It was too dangerous outside, and the military would not let anyone leave the camp. Li Qingyun was too bored to go out for adventure, so he had to enter a small space and observe the iron-headed venomous snake tied to the sun stone.
This venomous snake was greatly affected by the sun stone and became thicker and longer. It has reached two meters in length. If it were released, it could even compete with an ordinary king cobra.
Feed it some space spring water, and then feed it two small fishes. It's really awkward to see it pretending to be well-behaved. After Li Qingyun fed it, he slapped it on the head a few times, until it was beaten hard.
Inexplicably, he wanted to be angry but didn't dare to be angry. He shrank his head and stared at Li Qingyun in confusion, looking extremely pitiful.
"What are you pretending to be? I don't believe you can transform from a venomous snake into an eel. If I let you go, I know how many people will be harmed." Li Qingyun packed away the soldering iron, picked a bunch of grapes, returned to reality, and lay down in the tent.
Eat grapes.
The sun is about to set, and it's not hot in the tent, but the light is a bit dark. There seems to be nothing more comfortable than eating a few cold space grapes, humming a tune, and feeling the sweetness and deliciousness of the grapes.
Suddenly, he felt a movement at the door of the tent. Li Qingyun sat up with a roar and stared outside the tent with burning eyes.
He was sure that he didn't hear any footsteps. It seemed that there was only a light breeze blowing. It was really strange that something touched the tent.
"Who?" Li Qingyun asked sternly, but there was no response. There was only a gentle mountain breeze, as if everything was normal.
Li Qingyun picked up a small bamboo pole by the bedside and lifted up the tent opening. There was indeed nothing there. He looked at the ground carefully and saw that there were no traces left on the gravel ground. In fact, it was impossible to leave traces on this kind of ground.
I always felt something was wrong there, and just as I was about to go out, I heard a burst of cheers from outside. It turned out that the foreign expedition team had arrived, and Chu Yang asked the soldiers to line up to greet them.
There were ten people in this team, with a lot of equipment, and Michelle was among them. She was holding a small iron cage in her hand, and inside was a strange-looking animal, about seventy centimeters long, slender, like a
A big weasel with gray-brown fur and a very long tail, almost half of its body length. It has a fluffy tail and an extremely clever appearance. Its head is even like a fox's and its mouth is pointed and long.
Li Qingyun's eyes lit up, as if he had seen such small animals, but he couldn't name them for a while. This small animal seemed to be very good at catching snakes and was one of the natural enemies of snakes.
In addition to the one in Michelle's hand, there were actually more than ten others, all placed in the same cages and being pushed into the camp on a cart.
"Why do they bring so many small animals? Do they want to use this kind of thing to deal with poisonous snakes?" Li Qingyun thought in his mind and walked out of the tent.
"Hi, Michelle, nice to see you here." Li Qingyun smiled and greeted the mixed-race beauty.
"Oh, my God, you are Li Qingyun? Why are you wearing a doctor's uniform? It's so unexpected. I didn't expect to meet you here. What's wrong, are you acting as a translator or a doctor this time?" Michelle smiled happily.
He put down what he was holding and ran over to give him a sweet hug.
Li Qingyun said: "It's very dangerous here. Since you are not a real wild survival expert or snake expert, you'd better leave as soon as possible. The venomous snakes now are more powerful than the last time we went into the mountains. Their venom has mutated, and ordinary antivenoms
Their poison cannot be detoxified."
"Yun, you don't have to worry. This time we have brought professional equipment and top snake experts, and we can definitely conquer the venomous snakes here. Also, look, we have brought meerkats, who specialize in hunting venomous snakes.
, there are ten of them in total, all of them have been professionally trained, and if they attack together, they can hunt and kill King Cobras, we have done experiments." Michelle said with confidence.
"I really don't understand why you, a bioengineer, are so keen on outdoor adventures. Moreover, the situation here has gone beyond common biological knowledge. There are swarms of poisonous snakes, and they actually attack military camps. Have you seen this anywhere else?
?Oh... As for the meerkat snakes you brought, they are indeed the nemesis of poisonous snakes, but there are only ten of them, and there are tens of thousands of poisonous snakes here, can they kill them?"
After being reminded by her, Li Qingyun also remembered the name of that strange little animal. A branch of the mongoose, called the snake mongoose, is found in Yunnan and other places, and there are also a small number in Sichuan and Sichuan. It is better at fighting poisonous snakes than ordinary mongooses.
However, if you encounter one or two venomous snakes, the meerkats will easily defeat them. If you encounter a group of venomous snakes, the meerkats are afraid and can do nothing, and they may not even be able to save their lives.
Michelle smiled mysteriously, but didn't explain much. She just said: "This is my hobby and ideal. For the ideal, I will not hesitate to lose my life. Okay. My teammates urged me to go over and wait for us
Get settled, I'll come find you again! Oh, by the way, did you bring a backpack this time? I miss your delicious food."
"You foodie! Forget it. Be careful. There is an injured king cobra outside the camp. It is about four meters long and has a broken tail. It has a bad temper and is very vindictive. If you go out of the camp, be careful of this huge cobra.
The poisonous snake." Li Qingyun saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he didn't say much and reminded her of the dangerous situation nearby and told her to be careful.
Michelle was slightly surprised, but not afraid, and said: "I have seen a six-meter-long king cobra in India, and a king cobra of about four meters would not scare our expert team away from the camp.
Okay, thank you for your kindness, we will be careful."
They were talking in English, and Zhou Tao could hear clearly nearby. He had just returned from studying abroad and his English was quite good. After hearing their conversation, he just sneered, turned around and returned to his tent, without provoking Li Qingyun again.
That night, ten foreign expedition experts ate the food they brought, drank beer, and even danced by the fire. The Chinese soldiers did not restrain them or join them. Li Qingyun and Chu Yang discussed the matter, but they did not
Respond to Michelle's invitation.
It seemed quiet at night and everything was normal, but after dawn, the entire camp was disturbed by the sound of an urgent assembly call. Li Qingyun, wearing a white bag, rushed out of the tent, and after asking about it, he found out that a soldier had died, and he was the one who escorted them yesterday.
one of.
Li Qingyun's heart suddenly went cold. Zhou Tao's legs softened and he sat down on the ground. He shouted something absentmindedly, saying it was the King Cobra's revenge. It must be so. The four people who hurt the King Cobra were recorded by it.
Got it, you're dead this time.
Li Qingyun's face didn't look good either. He thought of the movement in the tent yesterday evening. It was obviously not the wind. Maybe the king cobra had sneaked into the military camp.
After Chu Yang gathered all the soldiers, he began to ask people who had been in contact with the deceased, asking everyone when they last saw the deceased and who was in the same tent with him.
A soldier came out and said that he was in the same tent as the deceased, but yesterday he was on duty and guarded the gate of the military camp with other comrades. It was not until he returned to the tent to rest in the morning and evening that he discovered that something was wrong with the deceased. His whole body was black and purple, and he was extremely dead.
It was miserable, with two poisonous snake teeth marks on his neck.
I heard that a four-meter-long king cobra might have gotten into the military camp. Foreign expedition experts were also shocked. A snake expert came out. He opened the cage, released all ten meerkat snakes, and blew a whistle.
Whistle and let them search every corner of the military camp, trying to find any trace of the King Cobra.
Taking advantage of this time, Li Qingyun walked up to Chu Yang and asked about the whereabouts of another soldier. Chu Yang replied that because of a mission, the soldier followed a group of people transporting supplies and returned to the medical camp halfway up the mountain yesterday.
Li Qingyun fixed his eyes on Zhou Tao. Without asking, Zhou Tao took the initiative to say that he slept in the ward yesterday and there were special soldiers on duty to guard him, so he could have escaped.
After asking, Li Qingyun was puzzled and said to everyone: "The military camp has arranged a separate small tent for military doctors. I slept alone last night. Why wasn't I attacked? Could it be that this king cobra has become a spirit and knows how to use psychological tactics?"
, destroying everyone’s spirit?”
Just when everyone was puzzled, they heard the released snake meerkat making a unique cry. The foreign snake expert shouted in surprise: "My little darlings have found traces of venomous snakes. Let's go and see."
