At the entrance of the Second Morgue, Han Guang's words made Zhang Li slightly suspicious. Could it be that Han Guang had discovered something?
While Zhang Li was lost in thought, Li Nan shivered from a sudden gust of cold air. Almost immediately, he let out a loud sneeze.
After hearing what Liu Heping had said, Li Nan had been feeling downcast, but at that moment, his own big sneeze jolted him awake.
In an instant, Li Nan bent over, his nose itching intensely. Unfortunately, he sprayed saliva all over Han Guang's back.
Han Guang looked slightly annoyed and remarked, "This is the real-life version of Mr. Nanguo and the wolf!"
Li Nan forced himself to maintain his composure and asked, "Who is Mr. Nanguo, and who is the wolf?"
Suddenly, Li Nan sensed that Han Guang's words might carry deeper meaning. He pondered, "Deputy Director Liu is indeed skilled in treating burns and scalds, but this person has always been one to exploit small gains. Why would he suddenly show such concern and take on Liu Ziming's injuries?"
Li Nan also had doubts about Liu Heping, but given that Liu held a much higher position than him, there were some things he felt uncomfortable saying. However, one thing was certain: a person who rises early without profit must have ulterior motives!
Li Nan racked his brain but couldn't figure out what Liu Heping was up to. Meanwhile, Han Guang seemed to harbor considerable hostility toward this person. Was it merely coincidence? Or did Han Guang already know something?
Seeing that Li Nan was in decent spirits, Zhang Li asked, "You must know more about Liu Heping than we do. Is he trustworthy?"
Li Nan was at a loss for words; this question was indeed difficult to answer.
If what Liu Heping said was true and Jiangbei Hospital was now plagued by zombies, then the system within Jiangbei Hospital would be worthless. When Li Nan thought about how Liu Heping would likely not pressure him in the future, he calmly replied, "He's a seasoned player; trust him but remain cautious!"
Although he still couldn't grasp any concrete clues for now, one thing was certain: Liu Heping could indeed treat Liu Ziming's injuries.
Without considering victory, one should worry about defeat. If Liu Heping has ulterior motives, sending Haizi alone to fetch medicine could be dangerous. Upon realizing this, Zhang Li regretted his carelessness.
Zhang Li and his companions hesitated at the entrance of the Second Morgue. Just then, Liu Heping approached from behind, asking, "Why haven't you all gone in yet?"
Zhang Li turned around and saw only Liu Heping, with no sign of Haizi.
"Could there really be a problem?" Zhang Li pressed the Triangular Bayonet at his back and slowly moved closer to Liu Heping.
Liu Heping sensed something was off and said, "Captain Zhang Li, we can't waste any more time; your brother needs us. Let's find a spacious place to set up an operating table!"
Zhang Li forced a smile that didn't reach his eyes and subtly drew out his Bayonet while quietly asking, "Where's Haizi?"
Liu Heping replied with a grin, "Haizi? When I was leaving the medicine storage room, I forgot that Comrade Xiao Nan had a high fever, so I sent Haizi back to grab a few boxes of L-aminopyrine from the corner!"
Zhang Li didn't believe Liu Heping's words. He lunged forward in a swift motion, ready to take Liu Heping's life with a flick of his right arm.
"Dr. Liu, is this the blue bottle of L-aminopyrine?" came a voice from behind Liu Heping—it was Haizi.
Upon hearing Haizi's voice, Zhang Li paused for a moment before breaking into a laugh. "I sensed something unusual in the atmosphere here and suspected another Zombie attack, which is why I came closer to investigate. But it seems there's no problem now!"
Zhang Li acted quickly, retracting his weapon even faster; the Triangular Bayonet was already pressed back before it could be fully drawn.
Haizi rushed over, holding several boxes of L-aminopyrine injections, which were effective in reducing fevers.
Zhang Li admonished Haizi, "Don't act alone in the future. The situation here is uncertain; it's better to be cautious!"
Haizi did not understand why he was suddenly scolded by Zhang Li, but fortunately, the situation had improved slightly for the time being.
Liu Heping also smiled and said, "Since that's the case, we really shouldn't waste any more time. Let's hurry inside and get this young brother operated on!"
With Liu Heping in front and Zhang Li behind, Zhang Li asked, "Was this door opened by Deputy Director Liu?"
Liu Heping shrugged it off, "With my build, moving a corpse into the elevator would still take some effort and time, so I simply forgot to close this door!"
This reasoning could explain the issue, but with prior suspicions in mind, Zhang Li remained cautious.
Liu Heping held several IV bottles and a pile of medications, exuding the aura of a lead surgeon.
Two minutes after entering the Second Morgue, Liu Heping led everyone to Door 4. "There are fewer bodies stored here, so we can move a few Corpse Storage Cabinets out to create an operating table. Then we can use the overhead lights as makeshift surgical lights!"
Zhang Li did not voice any opinions; the surgery was entirely at Liu Heping's discretion.
Liu Ziming was placed on the makeshift operating table while Li Nan injected himself with two doses of L-aminopyrine.
"Imported medicine really works wonders!" Li Nan felt his strength gradually returning and his body temperature lowering.
Liu Heping instructed the nearby Wolf Fang Soldiers to step back a bit and then carefully examined Liu Ziming's injuries. "Although the outlook isn't very optimistic, it's not hopeless either. For now, about eighty percent of his skin is burned, which isn't fatal. However, burn injuries are highly susceptible to infection and must be cleaned promptly. This is just the surface issue; due to electrical burns, there may already be damage to some vital organs, so further examination is necessary. Without precise electronic equipment available, I can only make cautious judgments based on what I can see for this surgery!"
After all that was said, Zhang Li and the others didn't fully understand. "You're the doctor; you take charge!" Zhang Li finally managed to say after a long pause.
Zhang Li stared intently at Liu Heping, fearing that he might have ill intentions.
"Liu Heping" shouted at "Li Nan," "Are you okay? You're the only one from the medical system here. Do you want to assist me?"
The effect of "L-aminopyrine" was quite evident; after just two injections, "Li Nan's" fatigue and lethargy disappeared instantly. After a few minutes, his energy and spirit were already quite good.
"Li Nan" nodded, "Alright, I'll be your assistant!"
As "Li Nan" stood up, he was stopped by "Han Guang." "Are you sure?"
"Li Nan" smiled and said, "I also come from the medical system. If someone tries to pull any tricks, I will definitely notice, so there’s no problem at all!"
"Han Guang" thought to himself, "That's for the best!"
The others gathered around at a distance of two meters, while "Li Nan" stepped closer to "Liu Heping." "Lead surgeon, we can start the operation now!"
"Liu Heping" rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's begin!"
On the makeshift operating table, "Liu Heping" was the lead surgeon and "Li Nan" was the assistant, so their roles were clearly defined.
"Li Nan" first checked "Liu Ziming's" vital signs, then tore off the vacuum packaging of the IV drip and connected the infusion tube while searching for a vein on "Liu Ziming's" right arm.
Due to a lack of medical equipment, "Li Nan" had to rely on his instincts. After a few attempts, he finally found the right spot.
"Liu Heping" had already started to operate. Since the surgery was taking place in a morgue at minus fifteen degrees Celsius, he suddenly felt a chill when he picked up the scalpel, causing his hand to tremble slightly.
"Are you alright, Dr. Liu?" "Li Nan" asked.
Liu Heping did not speak. After a slight hesitation, his left hand climbed up Liu Ziming's left arm, followed closely by his right hand, which swiftly cut through the skin.
The thickness of human skin tissue is approximately 1 to 3 mm, and Liu Heping's incision was exactly 1 to 3 mm deep. Then, as the blade turned, he peeled back an inch of skin from the left arm. "It's just a burn on the skin tissue; the muscle tissue hasn't been damaged and can be preserved!"
In fact, human bodily functions require many metabolic processes. The skin sweats to cool down, and proteins break down to provide energy. Liu Ziming's situation was dangerous primarily because the area of the burn was too large, causing many normal bodily functions to fail—water circulation, blood circulation, and normal skin sweating would all be disrupted. This quantitative and qualitative change could very well cost Liu Ziming his life!
Liu Heping assessed the burn condition on Liu Ziming's left arm and immediately made an incision with the scalpel, removing all the skin from the left arm as if peeling away a layer of old bark from a tree.
Blood flowed freely on the operating table while Li Nan assisted nearby. After Liu Heping completed the surgery on the left arm, Li Nan took out a water gel ointment and delicately applied it to Liu Ziming's arm where the skin had been removed, then wrapped it in gauze.
The surgery proceeded similarly, with patches of skin removed from all four limbs and most of the back. However, Liu Heping hesitated for a moment at the chest area.
Li Nan's intern doctor career had mostly involved assisting in such tasks and cleaning up during surgeries over the past six months. He dreamed that one day he would graduate from being an assistant to becoming a lead surgeon on this operating table.
Li Nan's fingers had turned purple from the cold; working in such meticulous and delicate conditions at minus fifteen degrees was truly torturous. Liu Heping's situation was even worse; this was the mental state required when wielding a scalpel. At that moment, Li Nan couldn't help but change his attitude towards Liu Heping: "Being a doctor is a profession worthy of respect; perhaps Liu Heping is better at being a doctor than at being a person!"
