Chapter 145 A drop of blood
Two quarters of an hour, almost thirty minutes, and in this short period of thirty minutes, Zhou Xu received bad news one after another. Those seriously injured tribe members died one after another...
He had actually been mentally prepared for this outcome.
Although he had already established a medical department in advance, the medical level in this era was undoubtedly too poor, and the tribe members were seriously injured.
Among the seriously injured patients, the fractures could only be considered minor injuries, some had their hands and feet torn off, and some even had their bellies torn open by the hyena's claws, with their intestines hanging outside.
Although it is the medical department, where have they encountered such a situation before?
Looking at the seriously injured patients, they were all stunned.
In the past, if this kind of situation happened in the tribe, they would simply wait for death, or simply give the other party a happy life.
How can we save them now? How can we save them?!
At that time, Zhou Xu anticipated this situation in advance and went to the medical department in advance.
If the intestines are hanging out? Stuff them back! If there are fractures? Find a good position and fix them with wooden boards! If your hands and feet are missing? Bandage them first to stop the bleeding!
At that time, he had really pushed his modern-knowledgeable brain to its limit, and came up with countermeasures for various situations.
But after all, he is not a medical student, or to put it more bluntly, even if he is a medical student, he is probably unable to do anything under such medical conditions.
According to their current medical level, being able to treat minor injuries and prevent them from dying from wound infection is already a huge improvement.
All together, there were ten seriously injured patients. At this moment, eight were dead, and only two were left, who were still unconscious.
According to the report, these two were soldiers he had trained, and their injuries were fractures. Among the eighteen seriously injured patients, they were considered to be healthy, and they were the two with the highest probability of survival.
Suppress the emotions in your heart and let your mind return to normal operation.
【Sixteen...】
This is the number of tribe members he lost this time. This number has exceeded half of the original population of the grassland camp. It is definitely not a small number.
After this, his grassland camp will definitely continue to be maintained. It will be troublesome to transfer such a group of people from other camps to make up for the population loss in the grassland camp.
After all, at this time, Black Moon Village and Salt Lake Camp do not have sufficient manpower.
After that, he had to face another problem, which was the loss of troops.
All fifteen soldiers under his command were injured this time, four of them were seriously injured, two have died, and the remaining two have fractures. In this era, it is basically impossible to fully recover.
In other words, even if those two people survived, they might not be able to continue serving in the army, which also reduced the number of soldiers under his command to only eleven.
This situation was undoubtedly enough to give him a headache.
Just when he was feeling depressed, Li Ce ran over quickly.
"Chief, the cremation is ready, and the time is almost up."
Hearing this, Zhou Xu nodded, then cheered up and followed Li Ce towards the outside of the camp.
At this moment, all the tribe members who can reach the camp here have gathered there.
As soon as Zhou Xu came over, everyone's eyes fell on his head.
After adjusting his mood, Zhou Xu stepped in front of everyone and swept his eyes across everyone's faces. From their expressions, he could feel that everyone's mood was very low, and even the air became depressing.
"Today! We lost sixteen brothers!"
Secretly taking a deep breath, Zhou Xu's voice was full of energy but full of grief, attracting everyone's attention.
"They died to protect our tribe and our homeland!"
"Their sacrifices will not be in vain. They laid the foundation on this grassland with their lives for our tribe and for our living people, and became the cornerstone of our tribe's future development! And their spirit will live on forever.
In our hearts!”
After a simple speech, Zhou Xu took the torch from Li Ce and lit it himself.
The igniters had already been arranged underneath, causing the fire to quickly ignite, sending them on their last journey with this raging fire.
After the bodies were burned to ashes, Zhou Xu motioned to everyone to collect the ashes, put them into clay pots, and then bury them in an open space outside the camp.
Then I found a suitable piece of wood and carved the names of these sixteen tribe members on one side. On the other side, it stated that they died heroically to protect the camp during the battle with the hyenas!
Back at the camp, everyone alive still had things to do, and there was no time to wallow in sorrow.
That simple funeral allowed them to vent their emotions to a certain extent. Now, each and every one of them has cheered up and devoted themselves to the work in front of them.
While it was still dark, several experts from the tribe were sweating profusely while handling the beast's body.
Zhou Chongshan had already completed half of the disemboweling work for them in order to rescue the cubs from the beast's belly, and they did the rest of the work fairly smoothly.
Zhou Xu sat nearby and watched the whole process.
During this period, the cub in my arms must have had enough sleep and began to struggle again.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu simply put it on the ground.
At this time, the cub's four legs were still very slender. After Zhou Xu put it down, its crawling movements on the ground were a bit trembling.
His seemingly thin limbs could not support his body at all.
Seeing this, Zhou Xu simply let it crawl, treating it as a physical exercise. Looking at the condition of the little guy, he couldn't crawl very far anyway.
With this thought in mind, Zhou Xu's eyes fell on the corpse of the beast again.
At this moment, several experts were taking out the entrails of the beast.
In the past, those small animals could basically tear out all their internal organs without any effort at all.
But this beast was different. It was too big and its internal organs were all stuck together, so they had to borrow a crescent halberd to cut off the internal organs.
When the heart was cut, I didn't know if the crescent halberd was too big to operate with one hand, so it cut the heart in half.
This in itself doesn't really matter, they just threw their hearts aside casually.
But what people didn't expect was that from the heart that was cut in half, a drop of blood like ruby overflowed from it and slowly flowed down the fracture.
It was completely visible to the naked eye. The texture of the blood was completely different from ordinary blood. It was even different from the blood that had been shed by this giant beast before.
Zhou Xu's sharp eyes caught this drop of blood at once, and his first reaction was to rush forward to catch it.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, a trembling little guy who could not even walk easily appeared in his field of vision, and then took a sip and took the drop of blood into his mouth.
“WTF?!”
