Doomsday female supporting role

Chapter 283: Severed Fingers and Wounds

After John left, only the four people in the living room looked at each other, and the atmosphere suddenly became subtle.

Wei Sheng and Yue Pingchuan both looked a little embarrassed, but there were no obvious scars on their bodies. Compared to them, Xia Qing and Huang Xiaoying looked much better, and there was no obvious damage to their clothes.

Perhaps because of previous experience, even when teammates meet, they are still a little vigilant.

As the team leader, Wei Sheng was the first to break the silence: "We should talk."

The other three people had no objection to this, but before a few people could sit down, someone approached outside the fence.

There was silence outside the house, and the sound of dead branches and leaves being trampled on was particularly clear.

Hearing this, the four people's movements were all paused.

At this moment, there was also a sound of running around the stairs. Soon, John appeared at the entrance of the stairs, and his condition looked a little wrong.

John's eyes were covered with blood, his complexion was flushed, and his breathing was rapid. His originally sparse hair was even more messy, his collar was torn out of his underwear, and his cheeks and clothes were stained with blood. With the hunting rifle in his hand, he looked like a murderer.

John stared at the four people and said in a bad tone: "I must warn you that the woods at night are very dangerous, and it is best not to leave here after dark!"

This is more of an order than a warning.

After saying this, he ran upstairs again without waiting for a few people to respond.

The four of them looked at each other, and John seemed to have completely changed.

What exactly happened in the attic? They could clearly hear the movements in the attic, but with the ears of several people, they could not tell what exactly happened upstairs.

At this time, the dim lights were lit inside the house, and the night sky outside the house gradually fell, and the fog in the forest seemed to be thicker.

The visitor was wandering outside the fence for a while, then he pushed open the small door on the fence and walked towards the only room. The mist was bleak, blurring the face of the visitor.

Before, Xia Qing found that the windows in the house were sealed with wooden boards, so she could only look out through the gaps between the wooden boards.

You can still see the light that struggles to squeeze out the night sky, and a faint halo in the fog is flickering, which is weak but cannot be ignored, and it seems that there is still some rhythm hidden.

There were three uninvited guests. Judging from their figure, they should be Luo Wenbo, Zhang Yuan and Xue Zhou. Zhang Yuan was walking in the front, while Luo Wenbo was supporting Xue Zhou and walking behind.

Xue Zhou's feet seemed to be injured.

Next to the big tree in the front yard, the brown horse suddenly became anxious again, making slap sounds, eager to break free from the shackles.

When the three of them passed by the well, she seemed to see a sudden burst of light from the wellhead, which was not very bright and fleeting, making people mistakenly think it was an illusion.

Wei Sheng opened the door and let the three of them into the house.

Seeing this, Xia Qing was about to leave the window, but when she turned around, she noticed that a pair of pet food bowls were placed near the wall next to the window. She suddenly remembered the photo, where the little boy in the photo was holding a white puppy.

The basin was empty and there was some ashes falling, while another food bowl contained a piece of stuff.

Out of professional sensitivity, she could tell at one glance that it was a human finger. She bent her knees and squatted slightly closer, and it was indeed a piece of finger. Her fingers were almost broken at the same root, and the cross section was neat, so she should have cut it with a sharp weapon.

The broken finger is already purple and black, with obvious signs of gnawing on the surface. Judging from the thickness of the finger bones and the size of the joints, it is more likely that it is a female finger.

At this time, she felt someone approaching behind her.

"What are you looking at?" Yue Pingchuan asked.

Xia Qing stood up and took a step forward.

Yue Pingchuan also saw the broken finger lying in the pet food bowl, but there was no surprise on his face.

He then asked, "Do you think the pet raised by the owner of the house has mutated?"

At the beginning of the end of the world, many people were bitten to death or eaten by their beloved pets.

Xia Qing shook her head. It was obvious that the broken finger was cut off by someone. She vaguely felt that the owner of the broken finger was the sick mistress.

On the other hand, Luo Wenbo and the other two secretly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the person who opened the door was Wei Sheng. Although they were still a little vigilant, they were more grateful.

Xue Zhou was supported and sat on the sofa. Although his face was the same, his eyebrows had not loosened. His left trouser legs were rolled up, and a strip of cloth was tied under his knees. Because of the poor blood circulation, the complexion below the knees was somewhat abnormal. A piece of palm-sized skin near his ankle was red and swollen and covered with tiny blisters.

There are two dark red holes, which are particularly obvious. The size of the holes is basically the same, which looks like a wound bitten by a snake, but the wound is a bit weird.

Luo Wenbo hurriedly looked for tools that could treat the wound, while Zhang Yuan prepared clean water and clean cloth.

During this period, several people briefly communicated, and everyone found that the situation after waking up was actually similar.

Xue Zhou was quite unlucky. Before meeting Luo Wenbo and Zhang Yuan, he encountered a group of black snakes, so he was not bitten. He could not find a clean water source in the woods and had no tools. He could only simply treat the wounds to prevent the spread of snake venom.

Xia Qing's heart moved, it was a black snake again?! Is it just a coincidence?

In fact, under normal circumstances, with the physique of Xue Zhou's psychic, ordinary poisonous snakes could not do anything to him. But the current situation is obviously impossible to judge by common sense.

Xia Qing stared at Xue Zhou's wound, raised her hand and pressed around his red and swollen skin. The skin around the wound was only slightly red and swollen, not hard, and there was very little bleeding.

She looked at Xue Zhou and asked, "How do you feel?"

This is the first time Xue Zhou looked at Xia Qing up close. There is no doubt that the girl in front of him is really beautiful and overly over. I don’t know if it’s a blessing or a misfortune for such a girl in the end of the world.

The girl's slender and tender fingers pressed on the skin around his wounds, looking at him with bright eyes, as if he was concerned. Even if he was not a sympathetic personality, some turmoil in his heart would inevitably arise.

Xue Zhou cleared his throat before saying, "There are no other discomfort except for some tingling."

Xia Qing frowned slightly, the injury was indeed strange.

Snake venom is roughly divided into three types. One is blood-circulating toxins. After being bitten, the wound will quickly swell and hard, bleeding continuously, and the skin will be purple-black. The second is neurotoxin. The local symptoms are not obvious, just redness, swelling and a small amount of bleeding, but after being bitten for a period of time, it will cause acute systemic symptoms. The third is mixed toxins, that is, the mixture of the above two toxins, and the same is true for the symptoms after being bitten.

But according to Xue Zhou's account, it has been almost two hours since he was bitten by a snake, but he has no obvious symptoms of discomfort, his mind is clear, and his breathing and heart rate are normal.

Xia Qing felt that Xue Zhou’s wound was a bit like a scald.

At this moment, Luo Wenbo hurried over with the tools, and saw Xia Qing immediately moved away from his position.

Luo Wenbo was about to find the tool to disinfect, and a scream came from the kitchen, accompanied by the sound of items being knocked over.

The kitchen is open, and you can basically see the situation in the kitchen in the living room.

I saw Zhang Yuan standing by the pool, looking at her right hand, and her feet were overturned basin.

The kitchen sink is a common double-trough type, with unwashed dishes piled in one sink, and the tap in the other sink is open, and water is flowing.

"What's wrong?" Luo Wenbo asked.

Zhang Yuan had recovered from calmness and immediately turned off the faucet: "It's okay, I just seemed to have been stung by something."

Just now, when she was cleaning the basin, she found that the water in the sink was not smooth, and it seemed that it was blocked by something. Because she couldn't see anything, she reached out to touch it, but she felt a piece of slippery and soft thing, like transparent jelly. However, before she could pick it up and look carefully, her fingers were stung.

She subconsciously rubbed her fingers, and the pain had disappeared, and there was not even a wound.

Xia Qing looked out the room again through the gap between the wooden boards on the window, frowned slightly, and then walked towards Wei Sheng. She didn't like to sit and wait for death.

"Captain, the sky has not been completely dark yet. I want to go out and take a look. Maybe I can find other teammates." Xia Qing said.

Although John's words were a warning, this so-called safe house may not be really safe. In her opinion, the unknown is the most terrifying thing.

Wei Sheng looked at Xia Qing with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through her purpose. As the team leader, he naturally worried about the safety of his teammates, but he also had to ensure the safety of his current teammates and not let them take risks.

"You don't have to go, I'll go." Wei Sheng said.

Xia Qing didn't agree, so she turned around and picked up the photo on the short table beside her, handed it to Wei Sheng, and pointed to the girl in the middle of the photo: "Does the girl in the photo look familiar? Her name is Melin Gardner."

Wei Sheng and Yue Pingchuan, who were beside him, were both stunned when they reacted and looked at the girl in the photo carefully again.

It is always difficult for Easterners to identify the faces of Westerners. But it is not difficult for Xia Qing, who is a forensic doctor, not to mention that she has seen Meilin and painted her portraits.

"Dr. Melin's full name is Melin Gardner Anderson, and Anderson is her husband's surname." Xia Qing continued.

At this time, Zhang Yuan, who was assisting Luo Wenbo to treat Xue Zhou's wound, murmured: "Melin Gardner? John Gardner? I seem to have seen it somewhere."

Except for Luo Wenbo, everyone looked at Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment and showed a sudden enlightenment: "Have you seen a pit outside the yard? I've checked it out that should be a crater."

Soon, Xue Zhou's injury was finally treated.

Zhang Yuan also sorted out her thoughts and continued, "My memory is pretty good. When I passed by that pit, I felt a little familiar."

"When you mention Gardner, I finally remember an internal document I once saw."

Then, she became nervous: "I have to leave here as soon as possible, and it will be razed to the ground soon!"
