Chapter 650: Chapter 447: The True Cause of Death
After dragging the rooster over, the team’s medic, who merely pressed his hand onto the rooster’s corpse, soon spoke up to the others, "The cause of death for this rooster is cardiac paralysis, which theoretically should be due to electrocution."
The medic is an Awakener, and his life-bound oddity is a medical scanner. After awakening, he acquired the ability to scan the physical state of living organisms. Since he was already a doctor, he took to this ability like a fish to water. As long as he touched the target with his hand, he could discern the target’s current detailed physical condition.
Upon hearing the medic say the rooster died from cardiac paralysis, the team leader’s tone carried a hint of confusion, "Died from cardiac paralysis, due to electrocution?
Impossible, didn’t we all witness the entire process just now? The rooster didn’t come into contact with anything external, and to my understanding, if it had been subjected to an electric shock, the rooster’s feathers should show signs of scorching; it’s impossible to retain such a pristine exterior like this."
Hearing the captain’s doubt, the medic simply dissected the rooster’s belly, quickly pulled out the organs within, and hurriedly located the heart. After extracting the heart along with its blood vessels, he closely inspected both the heart and the vessels attached to it, then revealed a haunted expression, shock written all over his face as he said,
"Damn, the rooster’s heart is cooked from electrocution, but the surrounding coronary vessels are still in their original, normal state. This is unscientific."
Hearing what the medic said, everyone gathered around. Although they were not well-versed in medical knowledge, they could still distinguish the cooked from the uncooked, so when they saw that the rooster’s heart in the medic’s hand indeed appeared thoroughly cooked, everyone also showed surprised expressions.
Seeing that the goose had not returned and remained in its original position, the captain immediately instructed the member controlling the goose, "Don’t let the goose move for now, Number Seven, do you have something that can test for electricity?"
Upon hearing the captain’s question, the radio operator immediately responded, "To doubt this is to question my professionalism. Every electrician carries a test pen with them when working, not as a matter of professional standards but as a matter of life and death."
The radio operator then took out a test pen from his backpack and handed it to the captain, who inserted it into the only remaining duck and casually grabbed the duck, throwing it toward the location of the goose.
The duck with the test pen embedded didn’t die immediately, even as it was hurled into the air, it continued to quack noisily.
As the duck flew over the goose, everyone’s attention was fixed on the test pen. As the duck descended, preparing to land, everyone heard a ’snap’, and the captain noticed that the light bulb in the test pen, which indicates the presence of electricity, burst instantly.
It wasn’t just the light bulb on the test pen that burst, the duck, still flapping its wings in the air, suddenly went limp, then its entire body crashed heavily to the ground.
Seeing this, everyone realized there was a problem in that area, and the captain continued, "Let the goose keep moving forward."
Upon the captain’s order, the member controlling the goose immediately directed it towards the direction of the gate. Perhaps the goose was already close to the hazardous zone because it only took a few steps forward before suddenly collapsing onto the ground.
After this test, everyone understood that although there appeared to be no danger near the portal, it could cause unnoticeable death. Without understanding the cause, nobody dared approach the area.
When Dong Tianyu emerged from the Cave, Divine Sense instantly detected the group of stunned people not far away. Seeing their uniform attire, Dong Tianyu knew they must have a very close connection with the Officials.
It was a pity Dong Tianyu came out of the Cave late; he had not seen any of their previous tests, and at that moment, all their attention was concentrated on one person.
Upon realizing the others were looking at him, the man said, "The situation here exceeds our capabilities, let’s retreat and find professional personnel to inspect this area."
Afterward, the group hastily left the area.
Once those people had left, Dong Tianyu floated to the space above, using Divine Sense to observe the situation, noticing the bodies of ducks and geese on the ground not far away, the duck’s body bearing marks of having crashed, with something resembling a pen stuck in its back.
Dong Tianyu employed the Art of Controlling Objects to bring the two carcasses to him and examined them carefully. He noticed that the object stuck in the duck’s back was a test pen commonly used by electricians, only the bulb at the handle seemed to have exploded.
Examining the other goose’s corpse, he didn’t find any obvious external injuries on the goose’s body surface, suggesting it wasn’t due to external forces since there were no wounds anywhere on the goose’s body.
Unable to find useful information on the two carcasses, Dong Tianyu again used Divine Sense to try and understand the surroundings, to see if he could find other useful clues.
