"Speaking of which... do people who are hacked to death foam at the mouth?" Zhang Ke suddenly asked after looking at the dead appearances of several corpses.
"Are you foaming at the mouth... I seem to remember that being drowned, electrocuted, poisoned by certain poisons, or suffocated may cause foaming, but being cut and dying of excessive blood loss does not seem to have a direct relationship with this.
." Yuan Mengmeng first raised her head and thought about it, and then replied as if she was endorsing something.
"So... why does almost every corpse here seem to have some foam around its mouth? Although most of them are covered by blood, you can still see a little bit." Zhang Ke pointed to the corpse at his feet and said, "I should
Did you read that correctly?"
Only then did Yuan Mengmeng notice that there were some signs of abnormality. She hurriedly knelt down and re-examined before saying: "Indeed, I just paid attention to checking everyone's wounds, and did not check the mouth and mouth - really
, almost every corpse was foaming at the mouth, which made the cause of death even more confusing."
"To make so many people suffocate and then hack to death with an ax almost at the same time, it can't be done with brute force and manpower, right?" Zhang Ke speculated, "The easiest way to think of may be...
"
"Poison!" Yuan Mengmeng immediately understood Zhang Ke's speculation, her body bounced up like an electric shock, and she quickly stepped back away from the corpse on the ground.
"Yes, mass drowning, mass suffocation or mass electrocution are a bit too fantasy. Only poisoning is the most suitable and feasible method." Zhang Ke frowned and said:
"My guess is that Tan Xin first put some poison that could weaken the body into these people's tea and food, rushed in when they were poisoned, and hacked these people to death one by one. Because he was unable to move because of the poison,
Therefore, they had almost no strength and could not resist Tan Xin. At most, they could only struggle to escape, but they could not climb very far."
"And Tan Xin's purpose for doing this is probably..." Yuan Mengmeng suddenly thought of something, closed her mouth suddenly, and did not continue.
But Zhang Ke had actually guessed what she was thinking - yes, Tan Xin had no grievances against these people. No matter how crazy she was, she had not lost her basic thinking ability. She would not plot to kill such people for no reason.
Multiple people.
So the only possibility is that she thinks these people know where she is, so she wants to ask them about her whereabouts - this is the true meaning of what she shouted before she fainted, "Everyone is covering you up along the way."
meaning.
——I'm afraid, these people really don't know me, so they can't answer any information that Tan Xin wants, but this is regarded by her as a crazy person who deliberately conceals the information to protect herself.
Yes, these people did die because of themselves, or it was such an inexplicable disaster. Yuan Mengmeng considered her own feelings and did not say it directly.
"Don't take it too seriously. All their blood and life debts should be attributed to that crazy woman Tan Xin. You must not have unnecessary psychological burden." Yuan Mengmeng held Zhang Ke's arm and said softly,
"Don't worry, I will always be by your side to help you get out of this gloomy day."
"Well... thank you, Mengmeng, for letting you get involved in such a troublesome thing with me. I'm sorry for you." Zhang Ke held her hand and said softly.
I didn't expect that there is still such a bloody past hidden in my past memories. So how many more unimaginable secrets are hidden in those memories that I have not recalled?
"I'm going to check the bodies over there -" Yuan Mengmeng checked the bodies on the ground on the other side of the corridor more carefully this time. These people seemed to be not as poisoned as the previous victims, so they ran farther away.
We can almost reach the stairs.
Unfortunately, judging from the blood stains on the ground, no one was able to escape smoothly in the end, but they were all killed beside the stairs.
"It's strange...there is almost no foam at the corners of these people's mouths, or if there is, there is very little." Zhang Ke said.
"Yes, it may be that the poisoning was not deep enough, so they were able to run so far. However, the scars on their bodies were still made with the same weapon. It seems that they were all done by Tan Xin." Yuan
Mengmeng picked up a corpse and was about to take a closer look, but suddenly she seemed to have discovered something. She showed an extremely shocked expression on her face and screamed "Ah".
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ke rushed up and asked.
"...Here, this person is still bleeding." Yuan Mengmeng said with some stuttering, and then immediately reacted, "He is still alive! Only people whose heart has not stopped beating will continue to spontaneously flow out of blood, so it must be done quickly.
Handle rescue.”
"Uh... Although you said you wanted to rescue, but this..."
Zhang Ke pointed at the exaggerated cut on the opponent's neck. The huge gap was as if a large piece of flesh had been dug away. Even the trachea was exposed, and the major arteries had long been severed.
Not to mention these two ordinary students who didn't have any tools or medicine at hand, even if the world's top rescue team rushed over immediately, they could only look at the body that was just a hair away from the corpse and shake their heads with regret.
.
"...Indeed, it is basically impossible to survive...but with such an injury, you should have died immediately, how could you still live for so long?" Yuan Mengmeng said strangely, "Moreover, even the main artery was cut off,
But his bleeding speed is not fast, and it doesn't feel like he has dried up."
"It seems that there is even a very weak pulse." Zhang Ke bent down, put his fingers on the wrist of the "corpse", and after playing with it for a while, he said, "It seems that although his heartbeat was extremely weak, it did not stop completely.
. Or it could be said that because his heartbeat was extremely slow, although he lost blood, he did not immediately die from excessive bleeding, and the metabolism of his whole body seemed to be frozen, reduced to the lowest point where it would not be lost. "
"...I'm not a medical professional, and I don't know very well. Does the body have such a mechanism? After the aorta is cut off, it can survive for at least ten minutes by adjusting the metabolic rate." Yuan Mengmeng asked.
"It's normal for the heartbeat to decrease and vital signs to weaken due to blood loss, but it's almost as if it's for self-protection, and it's really weird to lower metabolism so accurately." Zhang Ke pondered, "Is it some kind of
Do special drugs have such an effect?"
