Chapter 536: Confession (3)
Not long after Dr. Xu left, the white-faced sergeant appeared in front of Lu Yu again.
This time, Bai Donggu was just wearing civilian clothes, and his body was a little less of the atmosphere of the upper echelons on weekdays, and a little more of the taste of ordinary people.
The gray sideburns and tired eyes made the man look much older, but despite this, he kept himself in good order, and did not appear to be decadent or self-defeating.
"You're awake."
The two looked at each other for a long time, and in the end, it was Bai Donggu who took the lead in breaking the silence.
Looking at the tired appearance of the other party, Lu Yu, who was going to question the other party, swallowed back the words, sighed lightly, and moved his gaze away from Bai Donggu's face.
"I have news for you."
"Good news or bad news?"
Bai Donggu smiled bitterly, pulled a chair from the corner of the wall, and sat down.
Although it had only been one night since yesterday's incident, he felt that a month had passed.
All the affairs in the shelter need to be dealt with, and the white winter bone is a little out of breath.
Fortunately, Qiu Qianjun returned to the shelter at ten o'clock in the morning and shared a lot of work for him, so that he was free and could come to Lu Yu to rest for a while.
"It should be good news, in fact, I should have told you a long time ago."
The young man stared at the fluorescent lamp on the ceiling and spat out four words like a dream.
"Aspirin."
"What?"
There was confusion on Bai Donggu's face, and he didn't understand what Lu Yu was saying at the first time.
"The drug against secondary viral infections, aspirin, may be effective."
"Is that true?!"
"Just try it."
Looking away from the fluorescent lamp, the young man looked at Bai Donggu again.
"However, as far as I know, aspirin should only improve the probability of immunity, not 100% cure, so ......"
"Enough! As long as it can increase the probability of immunity, even a little, it is enough! ”
Before Lu Yu finished speaking, Bai Donggu stood up from the chair excitedly.
However, he quickly recognized his gaffe and smiled apologetically.
"I'm sorry, I'm getting a little too emotional."
At the end, Bai Donggu asked with some doubts.
"Lu Yu, can I ask a question?"
"Ask."
"Why didn't you tell me the news in the first place? Are you scruples about something? ”
Bai Donggu's inquiry was very cautious, for fear of angering Lu Yu.
"The husband is not guilty, but he is guilty."
Lu Yu didn't have any mood swings, and replied indifferently.
"But there is no need to worry about it, we are the military, and we have always stood on the side of the masses and done our best to protect the civilian ......."
Bai Donggu's face was puzzled, and there was a faint hint of complexity in his eyes after being misunderstood.
"Yes, you've done a good job, but even the military can't take care of every civilian, right?"
Lu Yu's voice did not improve, but when it fell on Bai Donggu's ears, it was like a heavy hammer smashed by a wheel.
"When the big picture is taken into account, some details are easy to be overlooked, and I am a pessimist and do not want to be the ones that are overlooked."
"That's why you're hiding this news until today?"
Bai Donggu's eyes began to turn cold, he could understand Lu Yu's mentality, but this did not prevent him from thinking that the other party was too selfish.
If aspirin can really resist the infection of the virus, then Lu Yu, who hides the news, will only become a sinner rather than a hero.
Seeing that the young man did not speak, Bai Donggu opened his mouth again and continued.
"You are hiding this news because you want to exchange it for something of value at a critical moment, right?"
Bai Donggu didn't ask where Lu Yu got the news, he just thought that the other party was a blind cat and a dead mouse, and he was lucky.
"Yes, you guessed it right, I did plan to use it as a bargaining chip with the military at a critical time, but now it seems that there is no need."
"Devouring the Starry Sky: Signing in to Become a God"
After saying this, Lu Yu was silent again.
And Bai Donggu didn't speak, just looked at the young man on the bed with a complicated expression.
The two of them didn't say a word, just stayed quietly.
After a long time, there was a sigh from the hospital bed.
"Tell me everything about Xiao Ran being taken away......"
……
At the same time, in the operating rooms of underground shelters.
The room, which used to be filled with the smell of disinfectant water, is now filled with a faint amount of blood.
Lying on the operating table was a slightly bloated man, his body covered in bruises and bruises, and his limbs twisted and rolled in a horrible manner.
This person is none other than Xu Xiafeng, who was injured by the steel tiger yesterday.
As a result of yesterday's incident, most of the troops in the shelter were killed or wounded, making the already scarce medical staff even more busy.
Because too many soldiers were injured and could not be properly treated in the first place, in order to ensure efficiency, Bai Donggu could only implement the principle of emergency war wound treatment.
That is, to treat the seriously wounded who are in danger of life, and then treat those soldiers who are moderately or lightly injured.
The wounded, who are too serious and have been judged to have no therapeutic value, will be put aside and left to fend for themselves.
Although it was cruel to do so, Bai Donggu was also out of helplessness.
After all, the medical resources in the shelter are limited, and too much energy cannot be wasted on the wounded who are dying.
Of course, Xu Xiafeng, as the pillar of combat power in the shelter, has the privilege of priority treatment.
But he chose to refuse, shouting that he would not die for a while, and asked the doctors to treat the more seriously injured soldiers first.
When he was told that delaying treatment might lead to disability, Xu Xiafeng's face not only did not hesitate, but also showed a suspicious smile.
"Damn, if Lao Tzu's hands and feet can be exchanged for a few lives, it's worth it!"
In this way, the doctors couldn't resist the stubborn Xu Xiafeng, and chose to treat the dying wounded first.
By the time it was Xu Xiafeng's turn, more than ten hours had passed.
"Sergeant Xu, are you sure you don't need anesthesia?"
The first doctor in his forties asked, and after a night of hard work, he had snatched four lives from death.
Despite the tiredness in his eyes, when the moment of the operation began, he was in good spirits.
"What are you doing with that thing, Doctor Li, just come, shout and count me Xu Xiafeng losing!"
Xu Xiafeng gasped, and a smile barely appeared on his unshaven face.
After a night of waiting, the physical pain has exhausted his energy, if it were someone else, where could he still speak at this moment, I am afraid that his eyes would have passed out with black eyes.
"Okay."
Admiration flashed in Dr. Li's eyes, but his movements sped up a few points.
Due to the delay of treatment for more than ten hours, Xu Xiafeng's injured limbs have already stopped bleeding, but this does not mean that his body is healing.
On the contrary, under the strong self-healing power of the able, those twisted wounds have developed deformed new granulations, and if they are not removed, they will hinder the recovery of the entire limb.
The first step Dr. Lee had to do was to use a scalpel to cut off the new granulations bit by bit.
The whole process is lengthy and detailed, and it is a torture for both the caster and the recipient.
By the time he finished cleaning up, a thin bead of sweat had oozed from Dr. Lee's forehead.
And Xu Xiafeng on the operating table was pale, as if the whole person had just walked out of the sword mountain and the sea of fire. "The next thing is to return to the broken bones, Sergeant Xu, there is nothing wrong with your arms, just two legs, comminuted fractures below the knee, it is estimated that after the injury is healed, the root of the disease will fall."
While speaking, Dr. Li's hands were not idle for a moment, and he reset Xu Xiafeng's broken bones little by little.
“…… Belch! Dr. Lee, Ho ...... You're fucking done! ,, so much ......"
"Hehe, Sergeant Xu's little mouth is really full of honey......"
In the face of Xu Xiafeng's impolite response, the middle-aged doctor just smiled faintly, and with both hands, he straightened the other party's humerus.
The sound of caga sounded, and the muscles on Xu Xiafeng's face twitched uncontrollably.
"Both of your lower leg bones are comminuted fractures, and in order to reduce the chance of fracture displacement, you need to be fixed with steel nails and plates."
After straightening his bones, Dr. Li carefully examined the injuries on Xu Xiafeng's legs and gave his own treatment advice.
Xu Xiafeng's fat face was no longer a little bloody, and his mouth was gasping.
But even if the pain couldn't stand it, he still didn't shout, just joked with Dr. Li very hard.
"Hit, give Lao Tzu a stronger tie, two more!"
"Medical steel nails are also limited medical resources, and it is useless to play too much."
Dr. Li ignored Xu Xiafeng's behavior of pulling calves and explained one by one.
After another busy, he finally dealt with Xu Xiafeng's injuries.
The rest of the sutures were left to the nurse, and Dr. Li rushed to treat the next wounded.
Taking off his bloodstained gloves, the middle-aged doctor looked at Xu Xiafeng, who was trembling slightly, his eyes full of respect.
This man really didn't scream in pain, and he carried the operation conscious throughout the whole process.
Seeing that Dr. Li took off his gloves, Xu Xiafeng also knew that the operation was over, and joked with sweat on his face.
"Ho...... Ho...... Why is it over so soon, and I haven't felt any pain yet......"
"Hehe, Sergeant Xu, your mouth, it is estimated that it is harder than the steel plate on your leg."
"Hmph, in less than a week, Lao Tzu will be able to get out of bed and jump, and then please drink!"
Xu Xiafeng said unceremoniously, obviously because of the invitation sent out of thanks, came out of his mouth, and it was a little more like the bandit leader threatening the meat ticket.
"Then I'll have to drink something."
Dr. Li smiled and nodded, and strode out of the operating room.
The name of the next treatment target is Gu Changfeng, who seems to be a young man who joined the military a month ago.
According to the nurse on duty, the man was cut in the neck during yesterday's battle, but luckily avoided the major arteries and was not life-threatening.
What required medical attention was a fracture in his left arm.
The remaining cases of injuries are also in a similar situation, and the order is arranged according to the principle of emergency treatment of war injuries, except for the special case of Xu Xiafeng, the more backward they are, the lighter the injuries.
"The neck cut has been treated?"
As he hurried along, Dr. Li asked.
"Yes, the injured person handled it himself, according to his description, he worked as a police officer before the catastrophe, so he knew some first aid knowledge......
The nurse reported Gu Changfeng's situation very responsibly.
"A police officer who knows first aid, yes, is it an ordinary person or a fortifier?"
Dr. Li's face showed a hint of surprise, and he asked with some curiosity.
"It's a strengthener, a physical enhancement system, a month ago, when it rained blood, he was bitten on the right wrist by a zombie, and luckily survived the infection period......"
The nurse flipped through the materials in her hand, recalling the details from a month ago.
Because of the scarcity of medical staff in the shelter, nurses have access to almost every patient, so they will be more or less impressed.
"Okay, after the treatment is completed, you can take the time to talk to this person and see if you can recruit him as a military doctor, we are too few people......"
