Everyone turned their faces and saw a kind of grass growing in the cracks in the bark of the tree over there.

"The bark must be poisonous, but the fact that this grass can grow on the tree means that it either has the same temperament as the bark, or it can neutralize the toxin."

"Are you really not sure, old rabbit?" Changmao said weakly.

"Not sure, no one can say for sure." The military doctor pointed to the other side, "There is moss growing on the tree roots there. That thing may be useful. However, we were poisoned by touch, which means it is very toxic.

It has entered the circulatory system, and the only way to detoxify it is to take it orally. If those things are also poisonous, you will die faster."

"Damn it, can you say something nice?" Changmao scolded her after hearing this.

Liao Guoren asked: "What if I don't eat? Is it possible to recover on my own?"

"Captain, Guanyin Bodhisattva is not as greedy as you. I don't know if these toxins will kill us, but if we don't do anything, we will collapse and die soon. The tobacco leaves will not last long.

"

Zhao Bankuo had a splitting headache. Hearing these words, he didn't even have the strength to be afraid, so he heard Liao Guoren say: "No matter, you go find something that might be useful first."

The military doctor nodded, gritted his teeth and got up. He didn't know how long it took, but the sense of time completely disappeared. The military doctor finally brought a handful of things over. Zhao Bankuo took a look and found three things: one was so green that it turned black.

The sticky stuff looks like moss; the other is a purple-red stem, the size of a foxtail grass, with a small pointed leaf at the top; the last one is white, the size of a quail egg, covered with a

There is a tough white film, and you can't see what's inside. It looks like an egg of something.

Looking at the pile of things on the ground, Zhao Bankuo felt very strange in his heart, because it looked like a few grown men playing a family game, and the fate of the entire team depended on this childish way.

Come to the rescue, you can see how bad the situation is.

The tangle in his heart was reflected on his face, making Zhao Bankuo look very ugly. Then, he found that everyone's eyes were very strange. After thinking about it, he understood what was going on.

There are three kinds of "antidote" for the time being. No one knows the consequences of taking them. It is very likely that all three people will be killed. The danger is definitely there. The key is who will test the medicine. This is the most important thing to decide at the moment.

According to the usual practice in the army in handling this kind of thing, it must be drawn by lots. Zhao Bankuo had no idea how the drawing was carried out. His severe dizziness put him in a state of complete separation from reality. When he reacted, he suddenly discovered that his hand

There is an extra branch in it.

Zhao Bankuo fainted immediately. He wondered if this was real or if he was dreaming. He forced himself to calm down and found that the branch was indeed real and very short.

He immediately wanted to laugh, but he knew there was no point in laughing, as the people around him would not be much better than him. Looking around, what he saw a second ago could not enter his mind. He realized that he might be poisoned

In a more serious situation, at least others could hand him the branch drawn by lot, but he didn't even know how he got it. When he thought about it, he couldn't help but wonder if someone was plotting against him.

But there's nothing I can do about it. Speaking of which, I'm already like this, so I might as well make a contribution.

In a daze, Zhao Bankuo felt something being stuffed into his hand, and then his hand was grabbed. He saw what looked like large insect eggs raised in front of him, and all of them were put into his mouth. Suddenly, his

There was a cool and slippery feeling on his tongue, which was very disgusting. He didn't dare to chew it at all, so he had to swallow it. By this time, he had fully understood that he had won the lottery and been given medicine. Since this was already the case

, he simply glanced around provocatively, with the obvious intention of letting everyone know that I, Zhao Bankuo, am a man! Then, he leaned against the tree.

The second unlucky guy seemed to be Cao San. Zhao Bankuo saw his strange head, which was a bit unexpected to Zhao Bankuo. This person is usually taciturn and has no sense of existence, but he will show up again at critical moments. He is dizzy.

I didn't even see what he was eating.

Who is the third one? He was still thinking when he saw Liao Guoren picking up the moss and looking at it.

Zhao Bankuo smiled in his heart, but he couldn't move his face. Damn it, Liao Guoren also participated in the lottery. Man, that's how the captain should be. Zhao Bankuo leaned there and saw Liao Guoren was about to take the moss

He stuffed it into his mouth, but a hand came over and snatched the thing away.

It was a small knife, and he grabbed the herb. Liao Guoren drank it and wanted to grab it, but saw the small knife swallowing the dirty thing in one go.

Then, Zhao Bankuo left this world again and fell into a trance, where everything became chaotic and blurry. When he woke up, he saw that everyone had stopped quarreling, and he had no idea how much time had passed in this trance.

After Zhao Bankuo ate the unknown egg, the sticky feeling lingered in his throat. He knew it was his consciousness at work and had to find a way to divert his attention, so he asked the military doctor: "Eat this thing."

How long will it take for you to react?" There was already a hint of despair in his tone. The military doctor also looked very bleak and said, "I can't say, but I should know before noon tomorrow."

After saying this, there is no need to ask anymore. Since it is already a dead end, why bother to tell the truth. A few people who have not taken medicine are struggling to add firewood to the fire. It is unlikely that there are Japanese nearby, and the fire is stronger.

It is convenient to observe the reaction of the drug tester in a timely manner and makes people less desperate.

Everyone gathered around the fire, no one spoke, and the atmosphere was indescribably depressing. Under the firelight, everyone's eyes moved on the faces of several people who had taken medicine. The flickering light made those faces look elusive.

.

Zhao Bankuo was very depressed by this silence. He wanted to say something but couldn't. It's not like they had never experienced this kind of life or death situation, but it was all on the battlefield, and the process was very fast.

He didn't even have to take a second to answer instinctively. What's the point of the torture of waiting silently for the verdict?

Thinking of this, he felt disappointed in his heart and closed his eyes to feel the changes in his body.

I still feel weak, still dizzy, and still have a fast heartbeat.

No, the heartbeat seems to be faster than usual! Does this mean that the toxins have invaded deeper, causing the blood supply system to become disordered? Or is the drug taking effect and starting to restore vitality?

Zhao Bankuo had completely lost his judgment. He quietly reached out his right hand to his back, grabbed a handful of mud with grass from the ground, and squeezed it hard, trying to use real touch to confirm whether the strength had weakened, but it took him a long time to squeeze it.

He only felt that his hands were shaking. He suddenly felt sad. He knew that he had reached the limit of nervousness and was completely unable to objectively evaluate his physical condition.

I don’t know how long it took, but Zhao Bankuo was half asleep when he suddenly heard a commotion. Subconsciously, he put his hands on the ground and prepared to stand up, but his hands shook so much that he almost fell to the ground. He just sat upright.

, but he saw Cao San holding a bunch of leaves and putting them into his mouth. The food looked like a victim who had been hungry for several days and saw the white-faced steamed buns. The military doctor was trying hard to pull the purple-red plants from Cao San's mouth.

Mingdi cursed: "You fucking want to die, I don't know if this is poison yet!"

Cao San said vaguely while chewing the leaves: "Damn it, I'm afraid that I'll die. I haven't recovered for so long. It must be because the weight is not enough. How long will it take to wait?" After hearing this, the military doctor said,

He paused and stopped trying to stop him. The others also looked miserable. Maybe Cao San's words were right. They had no reason to stop him. Everyone knew that they could no longer bear this kind of torture, but Cao San

San was the first to vent his anger.

With this commotion, everyone had no desire to talk, and almost didn't even bother to look at people. They just mechanically added firewood to the fire from time to time, not knowing what they were thinking in their hearts.

Zhao Bankuo's sleepiness subsided and he sat in a daze, not wanting to think about anything. Suddenly, he felt that his eyes were getting dark. He even added a few pieces of firewood, but found that the light of the fire was even dimmer. When he looked up, the sky was already misty and bright, and the night was about to pass.

If what the military doctor said is right, and there is still no sign of the outcome by noon, everyone is probably really going to die here.

Zhao Bankuo felt a pair of hands pressing on his shoulders. He turned around and saw that it was a military doctor. The military doctor looked at his face and asked in a low voice: "What's your reaction now?"

Should you?" Zhao Bankuo closed his eyes and felt it for a few seconds, then opened his eyes, looked at the expectant eyes of the military doctor, sighed helplessly, and shook his head.

The military doctor struggled to crawl to Cao San again and pushed him. Cao San seemed to be asleep lying there, but the military doctor's expression suddenly changed. He didn't know if he had a premonition, and he turned Cao San over with his hands.

Came over.

Cao San's body fell on his back on the ground. The blood seeping out of his nostrils, eyes and mouth had dried up, and his face was purple and black, lifeless. The military doctor immediately cursed.

Everyone else was shocked and hurriedly came over to hear the military doctor cry suddenly, which sounded heartbreaking. Zhao Bankuo was also completely shocked. He could no longer stand and collapsed to the ground. Others

They all sat down one after another, looking very miserable. Liao Guoren's face was livid, and he silently wiped Cao San's face with leaves, wiping away the blood piece by piece. Changmao gritted his teeth, stepped forward, and pulled the military doctor from the ground.

It was a slap in the face. Xiao Daozi took a step forward to stop him, but Zhao Bankuo stood up, held him back, and shook his head. Under such circumstances, despair was about to engulf everyone, so maybe it would be good to vent a little.

The military doctor stopped wailing after being slapped, but he was still sobbing subconsciously, his eyes were blurred, and he could clearly see that he had collapsed. Now it seems that although the direct cause of Cao San's death was an overdose of poisonous herbs, the root cause was still

This detoxification method he proposed.

Changmao grabbed his hair and dragged him up like a dead dog, with his nose almost touching his ears, and shouted: "If you don't want Cao San to die in vain, think of a way! I would rather die in the hands of the Japanese."

, and I don’t want to die so cowardly!”

The military doctor didn't respond at all, as if he couldn't hear any sound at all. He was grabbed by the hair and shaken, but still had a numb expression on his face. At this time, Liao Guoren finally spoke: "Bury Cao San Yao first..."

After a pause, he showed a rare hesitation, but he quickly made up his mind, "Don't touch the medicine for now."

After simply disposing of Cao San's body, everyone no longer had the energy to dig a hole to bury him. They could only find a small depression nearby, reluctantly put the body in, and buried it hastily. This usually indifferent action made the body buried.

All their remaining energy was exhausted, and several people gathered around the extinguished fire again, waiting for Liao Guoren to make the final decision.

In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that there are only two ways in front of them, either to work hard to move forward, but this is basically courting death, because the poison has eroded into the body, and everyone's physical strength is severely exhausted. If the poison is not detoxified, we will leave.

Within a few miles, they would all fall.

Another way is to continue to bet that "within ten steps, there will be an antidote". This way, first of all, there will be more time, and sitting quietly and waiting will consume much less energy than pushing forward. Once it is feasible, the current predicament can be solved.

If the root causes are solved, vitality can be completely seen. But in doing so, we rely on experience that seems very unreliable, which is actually a bit ridiculous.

Zhao Bankuo knew that this was actually just the difference between seeking death actively and waiting for death, but how to die, and with so many lives, only one person was qualified, or had the courage to make this decision.

Liao Guoren also knew it very well, so he thought in silence, and no one urged him at this time. Compared with before, the silence now has a heavier flavor of sadness, but it is also more peaceful. This atmosphere is very subtle, maybe everyone

They all accepted the imminent and inevitable fate of death, and the soldier side of their hearts fully emerged. Will they die inexplicably as a desperate jungle wanderer? Or will they solemnly accept the last mission as a soldier and die in the execution?

Although the final result is not any different, the latter method at least allows them to retain the last dignity of soldiers.

The captain will definitely choose to move forward. Zhao Bankuo estimated that everyone else thought so. Although there was no signal to urge Liao Guoren, subconsciously, the team members began to prepare to move forward, and the little knife was already silently

After sorting out the guns, Chang Mao also tied up his hair again to make it easier to go on the road.
