Volume 14: Devastation Chapter 669: Dissecting the Monster Corpse
"What kind of monster is this..." Connelly's voice trembled, "Boss, should we open fire?"
"Don't shoot yet!" Sergeant Ken shouted. He took a deep breath and pulled out the dagger stuck in his boot. "No one is allowed to fire without my order!"
This monster looks very much like a deformed human, with a bald head, skinny torso and limbs. Perhaps because it has lived in an environment without light for a long time, its skin is as pale as paper, and the purple blood vessels beneath the skin can be clearly seen.
It seemed to be very afraid of light. When covered by the searchlight, it didn't dare to look up. It lay on the ground with its head in its hands and shivered.
Coupled with the terrifying image of skin and bones like a skeleton, it always makes people think of fantasy monsters such as vampires and ghouls in horror works.
With the help of Collins' "eyes", Ke Lan looked at the monster carefully... For some reason, he always had a feeling that even if the soldiers of the 776 Special Forces Team did not kill it, it seemed that it would not live long.
Sergeant Ken held a dagger in one hand and a tactical flashlight in the other, and approached the monster cautiously step by step.
Sergeant Ken kept getting closer until he was less than five steps away from the monster, but the monster still did not react.
The other soldiers held their breath, their fingers on the trigger guard moving the trigger involuntarily, and a dozen red dots of laser sights moved back and forth slightly on the vital parts of the monster.
"Don't shoot!" Sergeant Ken squeezed out these few words from between his teeth, then pounced on the monster and pinned it to the ground.
The monster immediately struggled violently - although it looked skinny, its strength should not be underestimated. It actually threw off Sergeant Ken who was on top of it and let out a shrill scream.
"Don't shoot!" Sergeant Ken yelled again, then jumped up from the ground and kneed the monster in the back as it was about to get up and run deeper into the ruins.
Everyone in the hall heard a crisp sound of broken bones. The monster immediately lost its balance and fell forward to the ground, but its screams never stopped.
Collins couldn't help but think of the noises he heard when he passed through the rift just now, and warned: "Boss! There may be more than one monster like this in this ruins! It is asking for help from its companions!"
"Then... we have no choice but to make it shut up!" Sergeant Ken gritted his teeth, made up his mind, and stabbed the dagger in his hand directly into the monster's left rib, with the tip of the knife reaching the heart in the chest.
The monster's screams stopped. Its pale body twitched a few times, and its limbs fell limply.
Sergeant Ken loosened his grip, leaving the dagger inside the monster. If he pulled the dagger out at this point, the blood inside the monster would most likely spurt out from the heart's aorta and splash all over him. Without a full body protective suit, this would be very dangerous.
You know, the blood of the indigenous creatures on Alpha is mostly toxic and radioactive, and some are even as corrosive as the "Aliens" in the movies, which can even corrode the armor of the Fearless Warriors.
"I should have left it with a breath." Sergeant Ken shook his head with some regret. "Group One will be responsible for the surrounding security, Group Two will set up a defensive position on the spot, and the military doctor will come over!"
A face that Ke Lan was very familiar with walked out of the crowd. It was Liao Zilang's grandfather, Liao Xing.
The environment inside the ruins was relatively dark, and everyone's attention had just been on the monster... In addition, Collins and Liao Xing were not very familiar with each other, so they seldom kept their eyes on Liao Xing. Except for a few glances when he was making the final preparations outside the ruins, Ke Lan really had no chance to see this "key figure" in "Mewtwo".
Liao Xing served as a military doctor in the 776 Special Forces Team. His resume mentioned that before joining the army, he worked as an acupuncturist in a traditional Chinese medicine clinic for two years.
In this era, Chinese medicine and Western medicine are no longer as distinct as they were in the old era. Many things have been integrated into a concept called "modern medicine". As for the "Chinese medicine clinic" where Liao Xing once stayed, it is not actually used to treat people. Instead, its function is closer to the old era's leisure service places that provide "massage, sauna, foot bath" and so on.
However, perhaps it was because of this experience that he developed a strong interest in medicine. Before joining the army, he successfully completed a two-year introductory medical course through self-study. In the fourth year of joining the army, he successfully obtained a Class C medical license, and can be regarded as a capable doctor.
When Ke Lan first met Ivan , he was a C-level doctor. A doctor of this level could already be the lead surgeon for major operations, and it would even seem a bit of a waste of talent to use him as a military doctor accompanying the team.
"Doctor, can you dissect the body of this monster?" Sergeant Ken looked at Liao Xing and said, "But I can only give you twenty minutes, and you must act quickly... But it doesn't matter even if you destroy the body. We are not relic hunters, and we don't need to carry this thing to exchange for money."
"I need two assistants." Liao Xing nodded, took out a corrosion-resistant protective coat from his backpack to prevent blood and splashing, put it on, and then put on a full-covering transparent mask on his face.
"Okay." Sergeant Ken glanced at the soldiers on guard outside and pointed at two people at random, "Kino, Collins, you two, come over and help the military doctor!"
When Ke Lan heard Sergeant Ken point out Collins, he immediately perked up. He had wanted to observe the monster's corpse up close just now, but unfortunately he could not control Collins's movements in "Mewtwo", and everything had to proceed according to the predetermined plot.
"I...I? I don't know how to do autopsy..." Collins, on the other hand, stood there in shock.
"Just help me pass the tools." Liao Xing said, "Don't dawdle. Time waits for no one."
A huge medical kit was placed on the ground. Liao Xing turned the monster's body over, took out his camera and took dozens of photos of it from different angles.
By this time, Collins had also walked closer and was looking at the body nervously.
Ke Lan could clearly feel that his hands were shaking... This was not because Collins's psychological quality was not good, but a kind of nervousness that came from human instinct.
