The bonfire is known as "the TV in the jungle" among the field adventure crowd.
Once at night, when everyone has nothing to do, they will gather around the bonfire. The constantly jumping firelight brings not only warmth, but also a sense of security in the dark.
But if the bonfire is used as a light source for autopsy, then the atmosphere around the bonfire has nothing to do with warmth and security.
The tiger's body was placed beside the bonfire at this moment. Because of its huge size, just one corpse created the feeling of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
The temperature in this forest is not low, and corpses will quickly start to rot under such conditions.
However, the helicopter was "broken" again, and the tissue samples of the giant tiger could not be transported back to the base. Dylan made a decisive decision and began to conduct an autopsy on the giant tiger on the spot.
There was nothing wrong with her behavior in Lin Shuo's eyes.
Because this giant tiger, judging from its size, should have appeared at the scene of the crime.
If this judgment is true, then the genes of this giant tiger have actually been collected long ago.
Therefore, relatively speaking, the significance of autopsy is greater than that of genetic testing.
For the on-site forensic doctor Dylan, the danger of this autopsy is self-evident.
This is a tiger whose genes have been rewritten by Yama Yama, and the behavioral characteristics of Yama Yama have only uncovered the tip of the iceberg so far.
Whether there is Yama Yama in the tiger carcass, or what exactly Yama Yama left behind in the tiger, and whether these biological residues are safe for the human body, no one knows.
So before starting the autopsy, Di Lan gave a ban to all members of the team, including Lin Shuo: step back ten meters and don't come close.
Lin Shuo has always respected the professional opinions of such professionals.
Because when he himself was hunting, he also had such a virtue.
So right now, everyone is ten meters away, looking at Dylan on the other side of the bonfire, dissecting the giant tiger.
Wearing a one-piece protective suit, this beauty looks like an astronaut with a scalpel.
At this time, she was completely isolated from the outside world under the protection of the protective clothing.
Seeing this beautiful woman busy ten meters away, Lin Shuo gave Wei Xingshan a wink, and Wei Xingshan quickly moved his head over:
"What's up?"
"Have you received training as an agent?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Of course." Wei Xingshan said, "But I'm too tall to be an agent."
"Then do you know how to obtain a blood sample without the person's knowledge?" Lin Shuo asked.
"Whose blood sample do you want to take?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"Her." Lin Shuo pouted at Di Lan.
"What kind of skill is your old Lin? You still need to ask me about this?" Wei Xingshan wondered.
"The key is that she can't know." Lin Shuo said, "Whenever I do something, the movement will be bigger."
"Hey." Wei Xingshan had a somewhat smug look on his face, which means that you, Lin Shuo, also asked me Wei Xingshan for advice.
After chattering for a while, Wei Xingshan said: "According to the habits of agents, when doing this kind of thing, they will use everything available, including but not limited to tools, contacts, personal emotions, etc. Our agents are for our Those who serve the country must do things by all means, which means that the individual loses little virtue and the country gains great benefits."
"It's all nonsense." Lin Shuo rolled his eyes, "Don't give me lessons, what are the specific methods?"
"Let me tell you, this matter is actually very simple." Wei Xingshan said in a deep voice, "It depends on you, Lao Lin, whether you are willing to part with the capital."
"How do you say that?"
"Look." Wei Xingshan glanced at Di Lan who was working in the distance, "I've been watching this woman for a while. Judging from my twenty years of experience in the sea of flowers, you don't Seeing that she is very open in speech and behavior, she is actually still a baby."
Wei Xingshan stopped here and raised his eyebrows at Lin Shuo.
Lin Shuo frowned: "What do you mean?"
Wei Xingshan sucked his teeth and complained: "You are usually very smart, old Lin, how come you are so stupid at this time? Do I need to clarify this?"
"It's better to be clear." Lin Shuo looked sincerely asking for advice.
Wei Xingshan lowered his voice, and said in a deep voice, "Didn't she always want to fuck you? Let her do it. The first blood is also blood! Don't you just get the blood sample?"
As soon as this sentence was finished, Wei Xingshan's ear was grabbed by Anne.
"Hey! Hey! Hey! It hurts, hurts, hurts..." Wei Xingshan repeatedly begged for mercy.
Lin Shuo smiled lightly, pretending he didn't see it.
Wei Xingshan also understood at this time, and shouted, "Anne, didn't you see that this is Lao Lin deliberately digging a hole to bury me!"
"You deserve it." Anne said coldly, "You dare to say anything, right?"
"I was wrong, I was wrong." Wei Xingshan quickly apologized, "I'll say it well, say it well."
"Hmph." Anne let go of her hand, glanced at Lin Shuo, and said nothing.
"This..." Wei Xingshan rubbed his ears, thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about Lao Lin, I'll give you a blood sample tomorrow morning."
If it was normal, if Wei Xingshan made such a statement, Lin Shuo would just nod and it would be over.
But this matter was entrusted by someone, so he asked one more question: "What are you going to do?"
"Isn't I in charge of the food? Give her painkillers, I will control the dosage, and she will lose consciousness soon." Wei Xingshan muttered softly, "People who are addicted to drugs should not lie on their fronts, otherwise they will die in the hospital. In a deep coma, her own tongue can suffocate her, so she must lie on her side.
Lie on this side with your back exposed.
Then the needle was given on her back, no need to look for large blood vessels, just a shallow prick, the little blood leaking from the capillaries was enough.
This way she could neither see her wound nor feel much afterward. "
"Okay, let's do that."
…
Dylan's autopsy took a full ten hours.
From two o'clock in the afternoon until midnight.
The smell of blood soared into the sky.
This smell can cause various discomforts in the human nose, but in the noses of other animals in the forest, it is equal to three words.
dinner time.
It's better during the day, the world is clear, there are people around, and nothing dares to approach.
Once it's night, the surrounding area becomes lively. If it wasn't for the blazing bonfire that acted as a warning, and the aura exuded by Lin Shuo and Zhang Jin was strong enough, otherwise, under Anne's "painting prison", I don't know how many souls will be added.
At around twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Dylan finally finished the operation, took off the protective clothing, and looked like he was fished out of the water.
Wiping the sweat off her face, she walked up to Lin Shuo and said to Lin Shuo, "Okay, please come with me, Mr. Lin, and I will tell you about what I discovered today."
Wei Xingshan and Zhang Jin were busy burying the corpse, while Lin Shuo and Anne were invited into her tent by Di Lan.
This kind of small tent is only suitable for sleeping, and there is not much space. The three of them are sitting in it, which is actually a bit crowded, but the three of them can't care about it right now.
Di Lan looked very tired. She got up after panting for a while, stretched her waist, and then said: "I can now conclude that this giant tiger was once the host of the Yama King."
"How do you know?" Lin Shuo asked.
"In its heart, there are biological tissues that do not belong to it, which should be the remnants of the Yama King. And in the blood vessels of its whole body, whether it is arteries or meridians, there are some very subtle traces on the inner wall of the blood vessels.
Therefore, I think that the species of Yama, Yama, is active through the blood vessels of the host. At the same time, it also absorbs nutrients from the blood of the host to survive.
It can be deduced from this that Yama Yama's body size should be relatively small. Unfortunately, I searched for a long time just now and couldn't find it. "
After Dylan finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "According to the interpretation of the reproductive principle of the King of Yama by the International Biological Research Institute, this thing reproduces asexually through the spores of plants.
But now, according to my autopsy on this tiger, I found that Yama Yama not only breeds in this way, but also actively changes hosts through similar methods.
In this way, the information provided by Eighth Master can be easily explained.
This is how the Yama King constantly changes hosts, changing their population behavior by changing their genes.
Like a smart chip, it constantly refits the creatures in the forest, thereby building the social coordination of the entire forest and maximizing the use of resources.
The principle is the same, but in practice, I think this should be a very large project.
At the same time, its characteristics also greatly increase the difficulty for our actions.
Spore transfer, which is so common in forests that our human eyes cannot detect it, and it is almost invisible.
Now, it is impossible for us to know what the Yama King has become. "
After Di Lan finished speaking, she looked at Lin Shuo with burning eyes and asked, "Mr. Lin, what are you going to do?"
"Look for it." Lin Shuo said.
"How to find it?" Dylan asked.
"You are such a big scientist, do you still need me to teach you?" Lin Shuo said, "Naturally, we should first find the law and then find the individual."
"Then what pattern did you discover?" Dylan blinked, seemingly curious.
"Judging from Zhang Guohua's notes, the creatures finally identified by Mr. Zhang as the King of Yama are all relatively large animals." Lin Shuo said slowly, "We don't care what creatures the King of Yama parasitized in those ten years, At least in the end, the place where it rests should be relatively spacious.
I think there are two reasons for this phenomenon.
One is that the size of Yama Yama itself will continue to grow, which is very understandable, just like hermit crabs, when they get bigger, they have to find bigger shells to hide.
Second, Yang Tuo reminded me that the reproduction of the King of Hell includes the gene transfer of a huge amount of data, which consumes a lot of energy.
The nutrient cycle in small animals should be difficult to meet the reproductive needs of Yama, so in the end, it must find large animals to settle down and absorb as much nutrients as possible.
As for the results of your autopsy just now, Shan Yan Wang left obvious physical traces in Juhu's body.
This phenomenon actually verifies this rule to a certain extent. "
After listening to Lin Shuo's analysis, Di Lan's beautiful eyes shone brightly.
She looked at the man beside her with admiration and curiosity.
As a biologist, Dylan has met many smart people. Among the young people of his generation, Yang Tuo had always been secretly admired by Di Lan.
But now, the leader of the hunting gate beside him, in addition to this good-looking skin, seems to have the same wisdom as Yang Tuo.
This is very difficult, because Yang Tuo is smart, one is talent, and the other is environmental training, the nature of his work must require him to have a clear mind.
As for Lin Shuo, if Di Lan remembers correctly, besides being a hunter, this guy seems to be just a Chinese teacher in a rural elementary school
"Then Mr. Lin." Dylan asked softly, "What conclusion do you draw?"
"Since the previous host of King Yama was this giant tiger, then its current host should be a creature bigger than this giant tiger." Lin Shuo said.
"Bigger than this giant tiger?" Anne asked at this time, "Is there such a creature in this forest? Even Lao Bai is smaller than that tiger."
"Of course there is." Lin Shuo said, "If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be the ultimate goal of King Yama's coming to the Altai Mountains. It is also a beast of different species. According to the International Biological Research Association, it is A strange creature."
"Ah? Really?" Anne looked surprised.
"Well, I've smelled the smell a long time ago." Lin Shuo opened the curtain of the tent and looked somewhere in the north, "This thing is quite honest in nature, and it's not easy to deal with. Originally, I wanted to keep in touch with it." .Now it seems that it is also doomed."
