Lying on the stretcher was a half-corpse. Its legs alone were longer than a person. Its iron-blue hair, skin, and muscles were all desiccated and withered, clinging shrunken to the leg bones.
The corpse's skeletal structure bore some resemblance to a human's, but its ilium was much larger, its pubis and ischium more pronounced. The femur of the upper leg was extremely long, robust, and curved outward. Its patella was larger, the gap between the tibia and fibula wider, and the first metatarsal (the big toe) was more separated from the second.
With just a cursory glance, Li Ang roughly memorized the half-corpse's skeletal structure. He then compared it with the skeletons of various modern and ancient organisms in his mental database.
It was not a known species.
Li Ang shook his head imperceptibly. Fearful of drawing attention, he didn't dare look any longer. He lowered his head and, holding Wang Congshan's hand, blended into the crowd of evacuating tourists.
