Chapter 357: Chapter 355: Dissection Chapter 357: Chapter 355: Dissection Ye Qing did not participate in the discussion.

He placed the python on the ground, his eyes fixed on several silver metallic helmets in the corner:
“Sister Dai, could you help me bring those helmets here, thank you.”

“Okay.” Su Dai walked briskly over, grabbing a helmet with one hand and carried them back.

“Hold it steady, place them here.” Ye Qing drew a shiny curved knife from his leg and pointed the tip at the python’s vital area, seven inches behind its head.

Su Dai glanced nervously at the python, “Xiao Ye, is this python completely dead?”

She wanted to turn back to look for Sun Jingtao, only to remember that Sun Jingtao, supported by Kong Wu, had gone into the tunnel to take care of personal business.

“Yes. The snake blood should still be a bit warm; we need to drain it quickly.” Ye Qing gently pressed on the python’s body and explained.

The python’s body was still somewhat flexible, not stiff.

As for the self-dissolution of the Snow Wolf carcasses that Song Qian and the others were worried about, he felt it was worth observing.

However, it’s also possible to observe after letting the blood out.

If this python was also implanted with a nano-virus, then this snake blood would dissolve on its own later.

But if not, it would be a pity to have missed out on a pot of fresh ‘mao xue wang’ (a blood-based delicacy).

“I’ll do it.” Song Qian, who had been chatting with Song Haitao about other matters, heard their conversation and walked over.

He took the helmet from Su Dai’s hand and placed it securely under the python’s vital area.

“Puchi!” With a light lift of the curved knife in Ye Qing’s hand, a sharp, stenchy red liquid instantly splashed into the metallic helmet.

It was also because the temperature was low that the blood, nearly semi-coagulated, did not splash out.

One helmet was quickly filled, and Song Qian replaced it with another.

Soon, the python’s gall, big as an ostrich egg, was also extracted.

The pungent smell of blood permeated the room.

The older scientists also stopped their discussions.

Sun Jingtao and Kong Wu had returned as well.

With the room warm and after drinking the hot water Su Dai brought him, Sun Jingtao’s complexion seemed better than before, with some color returning.

“I’m thinking, leaving this python piled up in the room is not a solution; we might as well dissect it right now,” he said.

The python was about seven to eight meters long.

Its head was inside the room, the body coiled up, and the tail was nearly spreading to the door.

Its body was white with patterns, but the colors were very faint.

Even in the open snow plains filled with wind and snow, it wouldn’t stand out.

But in the room, it was quite an eyesore.

The room was already cramped, and leaving it lying around like this was not only inconvenient but also somewhat unsettling.

Especially around the snake’s head, where the crimson forked tongue sagged, always giving one the illusion as if it could come back to life.

“Right! Why not dissect it now? If it hasn’t decomposed by tomorrow, we can eat roasted snake meat, but if it does decompose, then consider it an exercise for the body.”

“Okay.” Zhao Yougong sharpened his axe with enthusiasm, walking over with the axe in his hand.

An elder sighed, “This snake skin is valuable, too bad I don’t know how to dissect…”

“Maybe, I could give it a try…” Lin Xiaohui held a scalpel, nervously shrinking back.

During her school days, she had dissected frogs, small mice, and some insects.

Even at one point, to train their psychological endurance, the teacher had arranged for them to eat lunch right next to the dissection table.

She had lived through that.

Although she had developed a strong mental fortitude, she had a natural fear of snakes.

Seeing his wife daring to face the python, Zhao Yougong joyfully exclaimed:
“Wow! Look at you, wife!”

Half an hour later, Lin Xiaohui had a forehead full of sweat, slowly peeling off the entire snake skin with the scalpel.

Afterward, Zhao Yougong picked up the axe and chopped the crimson flesh into one-meter-long sections, arranging them neatly outside the room.

Song Qian also led a team to continue exploring the unknown areas upstairs.

Before long, the group returned excitedly, carrying items labeled with the word “Aerospace.”
