Chapter 497: Escape
Asan, Kolkata, Eastern Command.
Commander Kalita was in a good mood. Opposite him stood a beautiful and charming reporter named Minnie.
"Yes, we have gained an absolute advantage on the front line, and the soldiers are advancing step by step."
"They didn't even have the courage to stop the two offensive mountain divisions tailor-made by the Army."
"We have only moved 5000 troops to the north, and the two new mountain divisions have a total of 3 troops. Their equipment is almost the same as the previous plan, which gives them a very strong mountain mobile combat capability!"
"In addition, there are 12 mountain infantry divisions with a total strength of more than 15 people. This has formed an absolute advantage in the field!"
"We are the strongest!"
Reporter Minnie smiled coquettishly, "The Cabinet Committee should be very satisfied with the Commander's performance."
Kalita had been pretending to be serious in front of the camera, but at this moment she couldn't help but smile.
"Of course, the military expenditures arranged by the cabinet have been used wisely, and now is the time to witness the results."
Minnie stroked her hair gently. "Then, His Excellency the Commander, can you arrange for me to go to the front line to interview and report on the Mountain Division, so that the Cabinet can see the Commander's heroic deeds."
In the past, Kalita would have refused, but Minnie mentioned the Cabinet Committee.
"Of course, but I think the public would like to see some news sooner."
Minnie smiled and said, "I'll publish a report soon."
A day later, as Minnie boarded a helicopter to Dudan, the Asan Times published a new report:
Let the enemy be terrified! ——The world's largest and most powerful mountain combat force!
The cover is of Carita standing upright.
Within just a few hours, the article was widely circulated around the world and caused a huge response.
The incident was analyzed over and over again, and even the smallest details were put under the microscope for analysis.
Asan's morale is high.
On the contrary, the voice sent out from the country to the outside world is a bit small, and at the same time, there is a lot of unpredictability among the people.
When domestic media began to reprint the "Asan Times", Guo Yang had already arrived at the farmland of the Niyang River.
Agriculture in the Niyang River valley is quite developed, and Tianhe also has a breeding and propagation base here. Guo Yang asked people to sow the newly cultivated seeds here.
This plant is the nemesis of leeches.
When leeches attach themselves to plant leaves, their nerves will be paralyzed and they will die. At the same time, the medicinal ingredients in the plants can also disinfect leeches.
But this is a long-term solution.
In the short term, we can only look for similar drug combinations from Quanwang Bio's existing plant extract ingredients.
Guo Yang has already arranged things.
Then I returned to the hotel and happened to see the content of the "Asan Times". The other party was so arrogant that it was really uncomfortable.
However, something even more distressing happened the next day, also in the "Asan Times". The news contained not only pictures and text, but also videos.
The hot female reporter Minnie showed up at Duden and Gengren's camp, causing cheers.
In the picture, Asan advanced some distance forward without encountering any resistance. The other side's arrogance really hurt the Chinese people.
In the official media, small victories are still being achieved and the situation is looking good. However, the Internet is filled with various voices of dissatisfaction.
Because some things on the Internet are not completely infiltrated, and there are also people who deliberately spread rumors and stir up trouble...
If the country's previous temperament had been followed, it would definitely not have allowed the other party to take advantage of it like this.
However, Guo Yang knew clearly that the higher-ups chose to believe him this time and were waiting for the arrival of the "little cutie".
At this time, the most important thing is to cut quickly, establish a fire line, and stay away from it.
The grievance is only temporary.
...
Suddenly, there was a faint sound of footsteps in the silent forest.
The eagle seemed to have lost ten pounds. Those who claim to want to lose weight can actually achieve their goal by walking in the rain forest for a day.
Eagle carefully observed the road ahead, and only occasionally had the mind to daydream. This was his trick to distract himself.
Behind him, there was another teammate, making a total of five teams, two in a group.
In order to better complete the task, he made an agreement with other teams that he would go to the farthest place, Gedao, with a straight-line distance of over 60 kilometers.
Traveling through the rainforest and various mountain canyons, the 60 kilometers would take him at least 3 to 4 days.
The other four teams went to Gengren, Dudeng, Banggou and Moxin respectively.
But in order to give them enough time to evacuate, several teammates agreed on an approximate implementation time.
However, lurking near the enemy's base is also very dangerous, and it is impossible to wait for him too long.
The only good news was that Gedao was on the east bank of the Yarlung Zangbo River, and the other four points were on the west bank, so he didn't have to worry about being accidentally injured.
Close, very close!
By seeing the occasional flying birds, the eagle knew that there were more hunters in the jungle.
Gedao is the most populous of the several points, has the largest area, and has the flattest terrain, but the northern and eastern parts of the plain are surrounded by mountains.
There are also several small rivers that flow through the town into the Yarlung Zangbo River.
The eagle's target is these small rivers and streams.
As it got closer to the town, the eagle didn't dare run around during the day and found a safe place to take a nap.
It was not until the evening when the sun began to set that we seized the opportunity to take action.
There was the sound of running water in the distance.
The eagle knew it had found its target.
He carefully came to the shore. There was little smoke from cooking fires in the town downstream, and it was dinner time.
Safety.
Eagle and his teammates simply washed each other's bodies, applied salt to remove the leeches, and then took out small plastic bottles from their backpacks.
The plastic bottles were small and contained very little water. They carefully poured the water into the river and threw the bottles in as well.
During this process, remember not to touch water.
Time passed little by little, and just when the bottles were about to be released, the sudden sound of footsteps startled the eagle, and the two of them hurriedly leaned down.
Downstream of him, two Indian hunters speaking bird language also came to the stream.
The eagle dared not make a sound and waited quietly. The tall grass blocked his silhouette.
The two hunters walked into the stream and began to wash themselves, with smiles on their faces.
Just then, two plastic bottles flowed in front of the two of them, and Eagle's heart tightened.
However, the two hunters were not alert at all and even picked up the plastic bottles to drink the stream water.
The eagle didn't know what was in the water, but it was definitely not something good since it was making such a big fuss.
But what puzzled him was that the two hunters finally left as if nothing had happened.
If he knew that the bottle contained leech egg sacs, he would definitely sneer at it. Leeches cannot withstand the stomach acid in the human body and will die if they go into the bottle.
However, the 'cuties' are different.
After confirming that there was no movement, Eagle and his teammates got up. In just a short while, leeches were crawling on their bodies again, and they had to use salt to remove them.
Then I prepared to walk a little further before dark, rest for a while and then return.
However, after walking only two steps, I saw something under the grass on the bank of the stream.
Oops!
The eagle was about to hide, but when he raised his eyes, he met the eyes of two hunters who turned back.
When traveling in the rainforest, you must carry weapons. If you don't carry weapons, you will be helpless if you encounter large predators.
The two hunters looked at each other in surprise for a moment, then started chattering and turned around and ran away.
Seeing his teammates wanted to shoot, Eagle quickly stopped them, "Go, go now, and take the deer leg."
The hunter shot a deer and had already cut up the meat, but he forgot to take it when he left, and eventually turned back and ran into the two Eagles who had just gotten up.
Eagle's teammate is called Mountain Cannon. He is tall and is good at carrying weights in the team.
Shan Pao didn't hesitate, picked up a deer leg and started running for his life.
In an instant, the four people on both sides turned around and ran. The two Indian hunters felt something was wrong and looked back. Hey, why are the people on the other side running away too?
After hesitating for a while, the two men plucked up their courage and returned to the original place. When they saw that a deer leg was missing, they couldn't help but curse.
He cursed all the way to the village.
Soon, word of the two men's experience spread. There were many smart people in the village, and when they thought of the recent conflict in the north, they reported the matter to their superiors.
But at this time, Old Eagle and Mountain Cannon had already disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
However, Asan also knew that there were people in the jungle.
...
Chen Dazhi stood in front of the sand table, with instructor Hong An and several staff officers beside him.
"The other side suddenly strengthened the jungle defense line. Helicopters took off every once in a while to investigate. It seems that Eagle and his men have been discovered."
"Are you going to take action?"
Chen Dazhi shook his head. "We can't let this happen again. We just had a commotion last time. The other party might have been alert. This time they can only rely on themselves."
Hong An said: "If...I mean if..."
Chen Dazhi said in a deep voice: "Trust them."
There was a moment of silence in the atmosphere.
Chen Dazhi’s meaning couldn’t be clearer: we cannot interfere in anything here and we must leave everything to fate.
"Don't be so discouraged. They are all elites. If they complete their mission and keep their composure, they will definitely be able to come back."
Chen Dazhi looked at the outposts and villages on the sand table and could only place his hopes on those little cuties.
But the time is so short that it is difficult for the little cuties to grow into adult leeches. Can young leeches be lethal?
...
All are on the list.
India's soldiers were in a frenzy.
In the center of the square, female reporter Minnie, wearing cool clothes, showed off her dancing moves, causing waves of ghostly howls.
Minnie also fully released her charm. Her dance became more and more enchanting. She even walked up to the soldier and took the initiative to tease him.
She enjoyed the feeling of being the center of attention, and the soldiers' passionate gazes made her feel very proud.
However, it wasn't long before she began to feel something was wrong.
The soldiers' eyes were no longer fanatical, but instead filled with fear, as if they had seen the evil ghost Bishezha.
She stopped dancing, not knowing what was going on. Someone pointed at her nose, and she touched it, only to have her hands covered in blood.
Bishecha is an evil ghost in Asan mythology that can change its appearance and drill into the human body to bring disease to the host.
This snappable demon has giant red eyes and bloodshot veins.
It's so similar to Minnie at this moment.
Minnie's nostrils and ear holes were full of wriggling bugs and covered with blood. The blood was flowing everywhere. An enchanting beauty turned into a demon after just one dance.
Minnie felt no pain until she saw the blood and crawling bugs on her hands, then she let out a shrill scream.
There was a cry of surprise among the soldiers.
"horrible."
"Is she possessed by a demon?"
"One moment I wanted to have sex with her, and now I just want to stay away from her."
Minnie didn't feel any pain. Even though she was bleeding so much and there were those disgusting little bugs, she didn't feel anything at all.
The feeling of ignorance is terrifying.
It was not until the arrival of the military doctor that she calmed down a little. Minnie went into the infirmary.
The attending physician asked about the situation and took a closer look, then felt something was wrong.
Leeches?
Although the leeches are very fat and big after sucking blood, the doctors who are on duty all year round know that most of them are blood. If they are squeezed and burst, they can only be considered young leeches.
"The situation is very serious. We must stop the bleeding immediately and then do an examination."
"Generally speaking, even though there are permanent parasitic leeches, it is still too unbelievable for them to crawl out of the body."
At this moment, her assistant said in despair: "The effective circulating blood volume is insufficient, the blood pressure is getting lower and lower, and the bleeding can't be stopped!"
Minnie was filled with fear and her face became paler and paler. She didn't feel any pain in her body, but she could feel her life slipping away.
She held on to the doctor tightly, "Save me, save me..."
The voice became weaker and weaker until he fainted from shock.
"If the bleeding won't stop, there must be other parts of her body losing blood. Check her body."
The assistant took off Minnie's shirt, revealing her plump breasts, but no one could admire them as they were also covered in blood stains.
"What the hell is this!"
"Ugh...yue"
Even though I'm used to seeing strong winds and waves, I couldn't help feeling nauseous at this moment.
"Clean it up, and have someone check the camp to see if anyone else is feeling unusual."
The military doctor frowned and took over and started first aid. I think he could be saved.
Just as he finished speaking, there was a noisy noise coming from the corridor outside the infirmary.
The two people who had just left the house looked back again, "Three more people were sent in with the same symptoms. One unlucky guy had two testicles stung and shrunk by at least half."
"Sigh~"
"How disgusting!"
"What happened?"
The military doctor's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. "Be well isolated and protected, and be prepared."
Someone said, "Are you going to run away?"
The military doctor glared at the man fiercely, but in his heart he felt that he should prepare for the worst.
In the camp, the soldiers were talking about Minnie with either excitement or horror.
"You don't know, yesterday evening, she and we went to play in the stream behind the camp. That girl has a really hot body. What a pity..."
Before he finished saying the word "Xi", the other soldiers moved away from him in fear.
The soldier, who was playing with Minnie, once again enacted the scene of being possessed by Bishekhar.
"What's wrong?" The soldier didn't know what was going on. He touched his temple in confusion and grabbed a sticky thing.
"what!"
As the sun gradually set, screams of fear rang out one after another in the Dudeng military camp.
Panic, panic, crying, fear... people continued to lose blood without feeling any pain.
Compared to Minnie, the soldiers are obviously in better physical condition and can last longer.
The infirmary also gradually found a way to control the situation, so the patient was not necessarily fatal.
However, as the night passed, more and more people were losing blood and the infirmary was already full.
The drinking of raw water had long been stopped and disinfection was carried out overnight, but the source of transmission has not been cut off.
The number of patients has not decreased.
In the end, the sick Minnie completely disappeared from the world, and many people followed her.
All hell breaks loose.
At the same time, Geng Ren, Bang Gou, Mo Xin and Ge Dao also experienced vampire crises.
In Gengren in the north, Private Ah San felt bored after a whole day of confrontation on the line without seeing any enemy.
After returning to the camp, they started boasting. For several days, except for occasionally showing their heads, the other party had no idea where they were hiding most of the time.
"Hahaha, he must have been scared."
"I heard there are still a few cowards hiding in the jungle. We have to find them sooner or later!"
Then, in the middle of the night, terrified screams suddenly came from the camp. After a burst of cursing, the screams turned into the howling of ghosts and wolves.
Phone calls were flying, and the sounds of fear, rage, roaring, and despair filled the camps and villages, and even the entire Northeast.
Eastern Commander Carita was woken up in the middle of the night. While he was carrying out emergency rescue work, he kept cursing on the phone, "Trash, trash!"
Jumping in anger.
The situation was obviously good, but due to this sudden change, it faced heavy losses!
Within a day or two, northeastern India was in chaos.
However, in the eyes of outsiders, Asan was still mighty and majestic, and only a very small number of people noticed anything unusual.
"How many times did Ah San's helicopter fly this morning? Why didn't I see it?"
"Not even one."
"That's a bit strange. Are you on vacation?"
"Stop it, no matter how incompetent Ah San is, he can't fail at this moment. Go report to the boss!"
"No need, I heard it." Chen Dazhi and Hong An came over and looked at the primitive jungle in the distance. "It seems that Ah San is in trouble."
Hong An also smiled, which was rare for him, "That should be the case. Now Old Eagle and the others should be able to find a chance to come back."
A man asked, "Do you want to check on Ah San?"
"No need." Chen Dazhi refused flatly, "Now we just need to stay away from each other."
Half an hour later, there were a few more orders in the camp, asking people to be on high alert against the leeches, and all kinds of supplies and measures were prepared.
Even rats cannot be killed too harshly, as they are one of the leech nemesis.
The soldiers didn't understand why, but obedience was their nature, so they just had to strictly carry out the orders.
Chen Dazhi called Guo Yang and asked when the drugs supported by Jiahe would arrive.
Guo Yang knew that the little cuties were online, and as the initiator, he knew exactly how powerful the 'little cuties' were.
Leeches are very common in the Yarlung Zangbo River basin. The rain forest is a paradise for animals and plants, with extremely rich resources.
The days spent traveling through the rainforest also provided Guo Yang with rich materials.
Fast growth, blood-sucking, reproduction in the body, spread through water and soil...all these characteristics combined together, finally gave birth to the ultimate version of this little cutie.
After a moment's silence, Guo Yang replied, "The supplies are on the way. We'll see if we can request a helicopter to drop them. We'll have to guard against them as strictly as possible within half a year. After half a year, Jiahe will have a way to deal with that thing."
"it is good."
Chen Dazhi asked again: "Mr. Guo, don't you want to know how miserable the Indian devils are?"
"If you want to know, you can go and have a look, but I don't think it's necessary. The media should report it in a couple of days."
In fact, it took less than two days.
When news about India's northeastern mountain division suddenly decreased, domestic and international media in India realized that something was wrong.
It wasn't long before someone broke the news that the Mountain Division was suffering from parasitic leeches.
Most of the 5000 reinforcements and the troops stationed there previously showed symptoms, and hundreds of soldiers have sacrificed their lives!
No one even counts the number of civilians.
And the number of people falling ill is increasing!
As soon as the news came out, it caused panic. The pictures and videos showed black leeches tightly attached to people's bodies.
They will even crawl out of the nostrils and ears. Their bodies will continue to swell as they suck blood, becoming round and plump.
The man's body was covered in blood, but he didn't feel any pain.
I could only feel my strength draining away and my vision becoming blurry.
Those leeches, like demons, ruthlessly devouring people's lives.
Just watching it once can make people shudder, feel terrified, lose their appetite, and feel nauseous and vomit...
It’s not a painful way to die, but facing the unknown death, even the bravest person will gradually become desperate.
Asan also urgently dispatched a large number of doctors to the northeast and took various measures against leeches, but the situation was not curbed.
On the contrary, it got worse.
Because leeches are growing, and growing rapidly, some biologists have discovered that the leech's maturation cycle is shortened.
That is, it can lay eggs faster.
What is even more despairing is that "vampires" have also appeared in the lower reaches of the Yarlung Zangbo River.
New news came almost every other day, and soon cases were reported in Assam.
Leeches may be spreading along the river.
This discovery made people even more desperate, as the Yarlung Zangbo River almost runs across the entire state of Assam.
The only good news is that the probability of leeches being transmitted through the human body is low, and the eggs are mostly transmitted through water and soil.
But this also means that the leeches in the jungle will be more difficult to deal with. No one can guarantee whether it is a leech or a real vampire that is attached to you!
Time passes day by day.
The number of people dying from leeches every day hit new highs. In the atmosphere of despair, some immigrants began to move away with their families.
The soldiers stationed in Dudeng, Gengren and other places were almost in chaos.
"The news said that everything will be fine as long as we leave this damn place!"
"I want to go home!"
"Run!"
"How can we run? The jungle is full of leeches. Who knows if it's a vampire?"
"It's better than staying here and waiting to die!"
After the panic spread for more than a month, immigrants in Gengren, Dudeng, Banggou, Moxin, Gedao and other areas either died or fled.
Deserters often appeared in the camp, and the remaining people could mutiny at any time.
Because there is not enough plasma, once infected, it will most likely mean death, and even many doctors have run away!
In just one or two months, Commander Kalita went from being full of fighting spirit to looking much more haggard, while the mountain division on the other end of the phone was still begging for help.
"Commander, give the order to retreat!"
"We can't stay here any longer. If we stay any longer, all the elite soldiers of the world's best mountain division will die here!"
Finally, Kalita dejectedly ordered everyone to retreat.
Mid-August.
Helicopters took off from the airport in Duden, and the big shots left first.
The soldiers could only walk.
Along with them, hundreds of thousands of civilians were fleeing the Brahmaputra River!
However, it is a hot summer and the area has the highest annual rainfall in the world, all these conditions provide a good growth environment for leeches.
The insect eggs also flow with the rain and gradually penetrate into every corner of the rainforest.
Then it hatches and crawls up the grass and leaves.
They wait for people to pass by and then quietly possess them. They are everywhere.
This transfer was a disaster!
A soldier could be parasitized simply by slapping a leaf or a stump to vent his anger.
A civilian might get tired of walking and sit on a rock for a while. After a few hours, he might lose too much blood and become weak, eventually becoming nutrients for the rain forest.
But the crowd still fled, as if there were demons in the jungle behind them.
