Chapter 4404 The King of Poisons

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The next day, Lin Rui and others finished preparations and set off for Huituo Village with Professor Gerlo.  Huituo Village is actually just a name given by the locals. In fact, there has never been a name on the map.  After entering the village, they found the local village chief.

    Professor Gerlo spoke to these people skillfully in the local language.  The village was even a little surprised that this outsider could speak the language of the Berber people in northwest Africa.  But Professor Gerlo said with a smile that he had been to Africa more than once.

    "How is the situation in the village recently?" Lin Rui asked.

    "It's very peaceful. People often harass us. The young people in the village organized a militia and joined General Quinn's troops, but they can't stay here forever. So sometimes the village is often harassed by terrorists."  The village chief shook his head.

    "They attacked the village?" Professor Gerald asked.

    "They opened fire on the village. They blew up several houses over there, killing two people and injuring many others." The village chief sighed, "My second son was also injured when he was rescuing people. Now.  It¡¯s getting serious.¡±

    "Huh? Can you take me to see him? Because I want to know what happened during the attack, and I want to know how he was injured." Professor Gerlo asked.

    "He lives in his own home now. Because I can't take care of him here. If you want to go, I can take you there." The village chief explained.

    Professor Gerlo immediately winked at Lin Rui.  Lin Rui nodded and followed them to his son's home in the village.  The village chief's son was indeed seriously injured, but it seemed more like burns than an explosion.

    "Damn, this is not a burn. The red spots and ulcers on the skin are not burns." Professor Gerlo immediately stepped forward, put on gloves, and looked at the eyelids of the village chief's son.  I couldn't help but shake my head, "Damn it, I know what this is. The infamous mustard gas."

    "Mustard gas?" Lin Rui frowned, "You said he was poisoned by mustard gas?"

    "That's right. It's mustard gas, it should be a mustard gas bomb. Mustard gas is a very common chemical poison gas. It was first used in large quantities by the German army during World War I. Later, armies of various countries followed suit, causing a large number of casualties. Its casualty rate accounted for the total number of poison casualties.  88.7% of 1.3 million, so it is called the king of poisons.

    Although today, there are already stronger and more powerful chemical poisons than it, this thing is not obsolete yet.  From World War I to the Iran-Iraq War, mustard gas has been proven to be one of the most effective chemical warfare agents tested in war.  "Professor Gerald whispered.

    "Are you sure?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "Although some tests are still needed to confirm. Judging from the symptoms, it should be correct." Professor Gerald nodded. "The most obvious ones are his skin and eyes. There are no obvious irritation symptoms when the skin comes into contact with mustard gas, probably  After 2 to 12 hours, erythema will appear on the skin, with clear boundaries and burning pain.

    After another 18 to 24 hours, many small blisters appeared in the erythema area, and then merged into large blisters, with congested and edematous edges. The blister fluid was clear and amber yellow, then became turbid, and condensed into a gelatin shape. There was local pain, and the blisters ruptured to form ulcers.  Very prone to infection.

    The human eye is very sensitive to mustard gas, which is why this type of poison is notorious.  Depending on the state and dose of mustard gas, different clinical manifestations may occur, such as varying degrees of conjunctivitis and keratitis. Droplets splashed into the eyes may cause conjunctival ulcers.  Corneal necrosis and perforation and panophthalmitis can eventually lead to eyeball atrophy and blindness.  "Jerlo whispered.

    "My son can no longer see in one eye." The village chief shook his head, "What can you do? I know you may have medicine or other methods. Or you can send him to the city for treatment."

    "I'm sorry that there is no way to completely treat his current situation. We can only alleviate the symptoms, but the damage caused is irreversible. The most disgusting thing about mustard gas is that there is still no specific treatment to this day, and the victims often get  It's the pain of lifelong disability." Gerald shook his head.

    "I don't understand. He was not hit by the shell. He was just trying to save a villager." The village chief murmured.

    "Yes, it was not directly exploded, but he was exposed to chemical poisons. Were anyone else injured?" Professor Gerlo asked.

    "There are also several villagers who have died one after another in the past few days. They also had ulcers and high fevers on their bodies." The village chief whispered, "My son is usually in good health, so he is the one who has survived the longest. The others have already  They¡¯re all gone.¡±

    "Okay, take us to the place where the explosion occurred, and tell all the villagers not to get close to the place where the bomb exploded. There are likely to be harmful substances left there." Lin Rui said to the village chief.Professor Gerlo¡¯s team collected the required test specimens and then rushed to the location of the explosion.  The place has been cordoned off and local villagers are not allowed to enter.  Professor Gerlo and others put on gas masks and gloves and carefully examined and collected evidence.

    Lin Rui was on guard outside.

    "It looks like this is it. They found the remains of the explosion. It looks like a homemade mortar shell." Sausage whispered, "Boss, you'd better take a look at this." Wearing protective gloves, he held an explosion-blackened  of fragments.

    "What is this? Can the shell fragments be so big?" Lin Rui frowned.

    "It's a small gas tank. It was welded into a can and turned into a mortar shell. A large steel pipe was used as the launch tube." Sausage nodded, "This kind of thing has been seen among the anti-government armed forces before. It is very convenient to obtain materials, and  With a little processing, it can be made into homemade mortar shells.¡±

    "A small gas tank, which means it has good air tightness and can be filled with chemical gases. Once launched and exploded, the chemical gases will escape and cause damage." Lin Rui nodded, "Is that what you mean?"

    "That's right. The similar artillery shells we found before were drilled directly into the tank and then filled with explosives. But this one is obviously more sophisticated. It should be welded on the tank part to separate the explosives and chemical agents and spread them through detonation.  poison gas.

    Boss, do you see the lines on this fragment?  This is a conscious cut that makes it easier to burst into fragments when it explodes.  It's like the fragment pattern on a grenade.  Sausage pointed at the fragments and whispered.

    "Okay, so do you think those terrorists now have this kind of processing ability?" Lin Rui asked.

    "It's hard to say. I don't know if they have the ability to make poison gas, but they definitely have the ability to make such mortar shells. After all, this process is not complicated and only a small workshop can produce it." Sausage replied.
