Chapter 205: Scared away?
Shen Qing immediately contacted the W City base and asked them to send someone to send the members of this team back, and emphasized that the body must be brought back as well. After all, that was the only dead person who still had something left after being attacked by the mysterious zombies.
An hour later, all relevant personnel came to the apron to pick up the plane.
The helicopter slowly descended, the hatch opened, and all the surviving team members walked down one after another. The last thing to be carried down was the extremely precious "evidence".
The captain walked up to Shen Qing and saluted. Shen Qing patted him on the shoulder and asked the logistics department to take him away.
Like him, soldiers who encounter such incidents on the battlefield need to receive medical examinations and psychological assistance after returning, otherwise they will never be able to get over this psychological hurdle in their lives.
Although there are no conditions to be particular now, and he is also a battle-hardened officer, but as Shen Qing's direct troops, Shen Qing still takes care of them as much as possible.
After comforting these team members, Shen Qing followed the people who came to escort the corpse to the research institute, hoping to get first-hand information.
Wearing a mask and rubber gloves, he stood in front of the dissection table and watched the authoritative professors in medical protective suits dissecting the corpses.
"From the outside, most of the tissues in the deceased's upper body were missing, leaving only part of the skull, the occipital lobe of the brain, the dorsal spine and some muscles and skin in the chest, and both livers in the waist and abdomen. The lower half was intact."
"The damaged parts are generally at an inclined angle. Since the head was the most severely injured and the waist was fixed by the person behind him, it can be inferred that the deceased was injured in the head first, and then the injuries spread downwards."
"So, the closer you are to the zombies and the longer you stay close, the greater the damage, right?" Shen Qing asked.
"You could say that."
"In addition, the surface of the deceased's wounds is rough and uneven, which basically rules out the possibility of being injured by a sharp weapon."
"Then, could it be that it was torn apart by the suction force?"
"Not likely, as there are no obvious lacerations in the remaining tissue."
"Then how did these organizations disappear?"
All the professors present were well-known professors, but they held different opinions on this issue and argued endlessly.
"It may be that the tearing occurred during the removal with a sharp instrument."
"I disagree. Look, even the wound on the blood vessels isn't smooth. There's no sign of a sharp weapon."
"Everyone, look, does it look like a wound left after being dissolved?"
"Yes, I agree with Mr. Cai."
"No, no, no. If it were dissolving, the surface of the wound wouldn't have such distinct textures, and there would be a certain degree of liquefaction."
At this moment, someone suddenly raised a question.
"Huh? Are you sure the time of death was within four hours?"
Shen Qing replied: "Sure, I saw it with my own eyes."
"That's strange."
The professor frowned, looking puzzled.
"Mr. Zhang, what did you find?"
Professor Zhang pointed to the test tube in his hand and said, "I just extracted some gray-black, muddy substance from the surface of the corpse and took it for testing. Now the results are in, and guess what, it's actually human soft tissue."
"impossible."
"Did some soft tissue get mixed in during the extraction?"
Everyone agreed that there might be a mistake, but Professor Zhang frowned and ignored them.
Shen Qing asked: "Why can't it be human tissue?"
Someone replied, "Because human tissue in this state can only be found in corpses that have liquefied and decayed. The next step is to turn it into bones. For a corpse to reach this state, even in summer, it would take one to one and a half months, let alone the current temperature. It would be impossible to achieve it without a year or two."
"Also, the remaining parts of the body are covered with normal levels of cadaver spots. This can't be the same body dying twice."
Something flashed through Shen Qing's mind quickly, but he didn't catch it.
Professor Zhang thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out, so he had to put the question aside for the time being.
After the autopsy was completed, the group of professors still could not reach a consensus on the cause of death of the deceased, and further identification was needed. Shen Qing saw that no results could be obtained today, so he had to return to the command center first.
--------------
Although the hunting operation failed and several excellent soldiers were killed, it was not known whether the mysterious zombie was frightened by the energy gun, but it did not appear for half a month, which really made W City breathe a sigh of relief.
The team leader also came out of the shadow of losing his teammates. After all, it was he who hit the zombie and made it give up its plan to attack W City, which was equivalent to saving everyone in the base. Then the sacrifice of those comrades became meaningful.
Just as people were feeling uneasy, the end of the world came in the third year.
Two and a half months have passed since the last zombie appeared in W City, and there has been no news of this zombie during this period.
With the end of the ice and snow period, the mood of the survivors seemed to improve along with the rising temperature. Their tension and anxiety gradually dissipated, and life returned to its former tranquility.
Especially those ordinary survivors, they are no longer worried about the zombie. After all, even if it comes to attack the base, its primary target is the mutants.
On this day, Shen Qing finished dealing with all the base affairs, put down his pen, and pinched his eyebrows.
He leaned back in his chair and rested for a while. Just as he was about to get up and go home, he heard a knock on the door.
"Enter."
A subordinate walked in with a document and reported to him, "Commissioner, this is an urgent message we just received from Subsidiary Base No. 2. They've repeatedly emphasized the need for your personal review. After discussing it, we've found we can't come to a conclusion, so we're here to seek your guidance."
Shen Qing raised his eyebrows, took the document, opened it and took a look.
"The special power team had a private fight and someone went missing. How should we deal with it?"
He read it out loud, then laughed in anger. "Is this kind of thing even worth sending an emergency message? You'd better give me an unconfirmed reason, otherwise I have reason to doubt your ability to handle the matter!"
The subordinate gritted his teeth and replied, "Although this incident isn't a big deal, it's the seventh such incident we've received this month. For some reason, the survivors have been so impetuous lately, frequently engaging in private brawls. The base has repeatedly cracked down on this, and even severe punishments haven't been effective. That's why we're asking you for your opinion."
Shen Qing frowned slightly, "Similar? Wait, what do you mean by similar?"
"It's an incident where a fight between teams resulted in someone going missing."
Shen Qing thought for a moment, opened the urgent message in his hand, and read it carefully.
Then I realized that these idiots seemed to have missed the point.
