At the Radiology department, Mo Xiaohui's left leg was crushed by a door panel, making it difficult for her to move. After dealing with a group of Zombies, Li Nan finally had time to examine Mo Xiaohui. Fortunately, it wasn't a fracture; she only had a tendon injury in her ankle, which wasn't too serious.
Although Mo Xiaohui's injury was similar to a typical sprain, her left foot was swollen like a pig's head, making it impossible for her to walk!
Liu Ziming was still unconscious, and now with an immobile Mo Xiaohui, Li Nan felt overwhelmed.
With no other options, Li Nan could only attempt bloodletting treatment.
Mo Xiaohui exclaimed, "You're going to bleed me? You don't actually want to kill me, do you?"
Li Nan smiled, "In your current state, you can't walk at all. If your ankle doesn't reduce swelling, we'll be stuck here. Who knows, more Zombies might come!"
Mo Xiaohui felt a sense of dread. "Well! You're the doctor; I'll do whatever you say!"
Li Nan took the scalpel and made a cross-shaped incision on Mo Xiaohui's left ankle, similar to the cuts made when preparing fish. Mo Xiaohui was taken aback. "You’re not planning to cook me like a dish, are you? Do you need me to find you a frying pan?"
Li Nan didn't respond. He continued using the knife beneath the skin of the wound, and soon some dark yellow tissue fluid began to flow out. Once it drained away, blood started seeping out, and Mo Xiaohui's swollen ankle gradually began to shrink!
"You really have some skills!" Throughout the process, Mo Xiaohui felt no pain at all. Li Nan chuckled, "That's because your pain receptors have been numbed. Once the swelling completely goes down, you'll feel the pain!"
Li Nan tore off part of his sleeve and wrapped it around Mo Xiaohui's ankle as a bandage. "All done! At least you can move on your own now!"
Mo Xiaohui felt amazed and tentatively stood up; she could take a few steps. However, the incision on her ankle still throbbed slightly.
"Just bear with it. Go find some anti-inflammatory medicine in the Pharmacy Department; you'll heal quickly!"
Although her left ankle had reduced swelling, Mo Xiaohui still felt some pain. Thus, she hopped along on her right leg, following Li Nan into the Pharmacy Department.
Li Nan found it amusing as he watched Mo Xiaohui's two long legs and her beautiful face; she looked just like a little rabbit—lively and adorable!
After regaining his composure, Li Nan stepped into the Pharmacy Department.
Liu Ziming's condition is very poor. The fragments of the remaining bullet in his lower abdomen have exploded into seven pieces, scattered throughout his abdominal cavity. The most dangerous piece is dangerously close to his heart, making the situation extremely tricky.
As a soldier, especially one from the Wolf Fang Brigade, it is normal to suffer injuries from guns and knives. Every mission is essentially a life-or-death situation, and being able to survive is already a blessing. The gunshot wound on Liu Ziming's lower abdomen appears to have been left over from two or three years ago based on its healing state. It remains unclear why a fragment was left behind—whether it was due to it being unnoticed at the time or some other reason. However, that remaining fragment is now threatening Liu Ziming's life!
Li Nan's medical skills are questionable; he is just an intern doctor with six months of experience. Can he really perform a major internal surgery? Li Nan himself feels anxious, but given the current situation, he has no choice but to step up, regardless of whether he is capable or not.
"The IV bag is empty; go get a new one. I've already prepared the medication inside; you just need to replace it!" Li Nan said, sweat beading on his forehead as one of his surgical knives became stained with blood.
Upon hearing Li Nan's instructions, Mo Xiaohui immediately hopped over on one foot and picked up an IV bag, attaching it to the infusion tube.
Mo Xiaohui leaned in beside Li Nan like a little white rabbit, intently watching his surgical technique. In her eyes, there was no gruesome scene of blood and flesh; she only saw a man focused and diligently fulfilling his responsibilities as a doctor.
First, he opened Liu Ziming's abdomen and then searched for the original position of the remaining bullet fragment based on the healed gunshot wound. After cutting through layers of flesh, he managed to extract four pieces of debris, but three pieces were still missing.
"Mo Xiaohui, come here and help me!" At this point, it was clear that Li Nan could no longer manage with just two hands.
Mo Xiaohui leaned closer, her hands trembling as she reached in. Liu Ziming's abdomen was completely opened up, essentially leaving him eviscerated.
Li Nan instructed, "One piece of debris is pressing against an organ; you need to help me clear my line of sight!"
Mo Xiaohui grimaced but reluctantly reached into Liu Ziming's abdominal cavity, holding onto an organ similar to a gallbladder to give Li Nan better access to retrieve the bullet fragments.
"What is this?" Mo Xiaohui asked in an attempt to distract herself, but a strong metallic smell had already invaded her nostrils.
"This is the bladder!" Li Nan replied casually.
"Ah!" Mo Xiaohui exclaimed with a look of disdain, prompting Li Nan to quickly warn her: "You mustn't move around! If the bladder bursts, Liu Ziming will be finished!"
Mo Xiaohui closed her eyes, unwilling to witness the scene before her. However, she dared not slack off and could only cooperate with Li Nan's technique, trying her best to be a qualified little nurse.
Li Nan carefully made the incision, and after sweating profusely, he finally removed the fifth shard.
There were still two steps left in this long journey, and Li Nan did not dare to relax for a moment. He continued to cut, hoping to buy some more time. While he was intensely focused on the surgery, perhaps a fierce battle had already begun on the tenth floor. Time was of the essence; he had to hurry!
The fifth shard was removed without incident, and the position of the sixth shard was relatively easier to access. So, a few minutes later, it was already taken care of. Now only the seventh shard, which was close to Heart's position, remained!
Mo Xiaohui kept cheering for Li Nan from the side, but Li Nan had no time to pay attention to her. At this moment, he had to concentrate fully; there were many blood vessels around Heart, and one wrong move could cost Liu Ziming his life!
Mo Xiaohui continued to assist, but the entire process was so bloody that it exceeded her psychological expectations. It seemed that without strong mental fortitude, it would be difficult to continue in the medical profession!
After more than ten minutes, Li Nan's scalpel had yet to touch the critical area, and Mo Xiaohui seemed to have sensed something. "What are you waiting for?"
Li Nan was speechless; his right hand holding the scalpel was trembling uncontrollably. "I'm afraid that if I make this cut, not only will I fail to save him, but I might also take his life!"
Mo Xiaohui could already feel Li Nan's tension and pressure; beads of sweat as large as soybeans fell like rain.
Mo Xiaohui said worriedly, "You're just an Intern Doctor; you don't need to bear such a heavy psychological burden. Just do your best!"
Having witnessed life and death countless times, Li Nan thought he had adapted to being a doctor. But when it came down to it, he found himself unable to face the potential for death. He was a doctor, not a butcher; he could only save lives, not take them! But at this moment, could he really save Liu Ziming?
Li Nan felt that not only was his right hand trembling incessantly, but his entire body seemed to shake in resonance. He wanted desperately to calm down but found it ineffective. A single cut determining life or death was something he had never experienced since becoming a doctor!
Mo Xiaohui extended her pale arms and gently wiped across Li Nan's forehead. "It's okay; I believe in you. You will save him!"
"Really?" Li Nan asked hesitantly, clearly unable to believe in himself.
Mo Xiaohui nodded earnestly. "What happens on the operating table is unpredictable. The patient's life and death are not solely in your hands; fate also plays a role. If fate allows him to live, he will survive; if fate dictates otherwise, he will die on the operating table. None of this is your fault!"
Mo Xiaohui's words lacked substance, but to Li Nan, they seemed to carry a hint of evading responsibility. When the moment arrived, Li Nan had no choice; he could only continue with the surgery!
No doctor had ever run away from the operating table, and Li Nan did not intend to be the first. Regardless of the outcome, he had to proceed with the incision. He was determined to save Liu Ziming, not to end his life prematurely!
In the face of limited resources, Li Nan needed to minimize the duration of the surgery. The small amount of medical alcohol available was insufficient for a prolonged internal procedure. Therefore, he had no time left for deliberation; this incision had to be made, whether he wanted to or not!
With gritted teeth, Li Nan cast aside all concerns and wielded the scalpel, carefully cutting through the blood vessels near the heart, searching for the seventh fragment.
The pressure was immense, and the challenge daunting. However, as Li Nan focused on the rhythm of his scalpel, his suddenly tense heart began to stabilize. This was a turning point in his career as an intern doctor; if he could successfully handle this surgery, he would be eligible for a permanent position. Perhaps in a few years, he would truly stand at the operating table with a scalpel in hand, while others awaited his commands!
Everything proceeded methodically, and Li Nan soon located the seventh fragment beneath a cluster of blood vessels.
Mission accomplished! As long as he could remove that fragment, the surgery would conclude perfectly. Li Nan felt a surge of joy; he was grateful for Liu Ziming's resilience and for his own steady hands!
Li Nan continued with the incision; it would only take three seconds to finish the surgery. However, just as both Li Nan and Mo Xiaohui were secretly pleased, an unexpected incident occurred.
The scalpel in Li Nan's hand trembled involuntarily and suddenly severed a blood vessel no thicker than a hair. Instantly, Liu Ziming's abdominal cavity was filled with blood due to Li Nan's mistake.
