Chapter 42 - Surgery

Another patient suspected of being infected with zombie worms appeared in the bunker.

A girl suddenly had a fever and vomited.

Her body temperature is getting higher and higher, and she is already confused.

When Su Yurong arrived at the infirmary, she saw Jiang Ying feeding the girl medicine.

"Is it...a medicine to test parasites?" Recalling the danger last time, Su Yurong couldn't help but worry.

Jiang Ying shook her head: "No, this medicine is very safe."

The girl did not react excessively, but fell into a coma completely.

What Jiang Ying gave her was actually anesthetic.

"How is Lu Chengming?" Jiang Ying looked at Su Yujun.

"Fortunately... he is resting in the room." Seeing that Jiang Ying was dealing with a more troublesome situation, Su Yurong did not say that Lu Chengming was injured for the time being.

"Then let him rest..." Jiang Ying waved to Feng Zixuan again, "Zixuan, come here and help carry her to the operating room."

In recent days, Feng Zixuan has been working as an assistant to Jiang Ying, but she has not helped her. Instead, she has caused some trouble because of her clumsiness.

Su Yurong asked softly: "What do you want to do?"

"Take her surgery...you can help too, Feng Zixuan...a assistant is not enough..." Jiang Ying looked embarrassed.

"Does the surgery directly?" Su Yujun was shocked.

Jiang Ying nodded: "Yes, surgery as soon as possible and removing zombie worms may be the only treatment... I can't take risks with Lu Chengming, I must try it in advance..."

"You...you want to use her for an experiment?" Su Yurong reacted.

"You insist on saying this, I admit it too... but I am also saving her. Do you have any other way?" Jiang Ying glanced at Su Yurong, "Just throw her here and ignore it?"

Su Yujun had no choice but to sigh silently.

"Lu Chengming must not have any accidents, you should understand this." Jiang Ying looked cold, "Are you helping?"

After hesitating for a moment, Su Yujun finally nodded in agreement.

The three of them carried the girl to the operating room together.

Jiang Ying observed the zombie and speculated that the iron nematode might parasitize in the human cervical vertebrae, connecting the host's spinal nerve and brain nerve in some way, thereby controlling the host's movement.

So she planned to cut the back of the patient's neck and remove the parasite.

However, the medical equipment and materials in the bunker are insufficient, so the risk of surgery is actually quite high.

The blade must be small and must not cause major bleeding.

In fact, Jiang Ying's surgical experience is quite limited.

This operation was a helpless move and a desperate bet.

Su Yurong and Feng Zixuan knew nothing about the operation and could only strictly follow Jiang Ying's instructions.

Everyone was nervous.

After completing the preparations step by step, Jiang Ying took a deep breath and picked up the sharp scalpel.

...

After cutting it with one size fits, no iron worms were found.

Jiang Ying had to expand the incision.

Still not found...

Continue to tentatively cut the flesh...

Blood flows more and more.

Jiang Ying is also becoming more and more impatient.

When Feng Zixuan saw such a bloody scene, she was so scared that she trembled all over and couldn't even hold the tools.

Su Yujun also felt extremely uncomfortable, but she could only hold on.

...

The wound is shocking.

Gradually, the girl's breath became weaker and weaker due to excessive blood loss.

Jiang Ying realized that she lacked experience and was too anxious and was not fully prepared.

Of course there is no blood bank in the bunker.

And she did not test her blood type in advance and prepared some blood storage.

"It's too late...my fault...I can only continue..." Jiang Ying's eyes were red, but her tone was still firm, "No, no...I'm not wrong..."

She quickly figured it out that she didn't need to admit her mistake.

Reality is so cruel.

Even if you have blood on hand, it should be left to "more useful" people.

A girl infected with zombie worms, for humans in the end of the world, is probably the greatest value of it to act as an experimental sample.

Jiang Ying adjusted her emotions and continued to take action.

Feng Zixuan couldn't hold on anymore and ran to the side to start retching.

"You guys go out..." Jiang Ying sniffed a few times, "I will do the rest myself..."

"Then she..." Su Yurong looked at the girl, her voice trembling slightly.

"If you can't get the parasite, you will die even if you don't get it..." Jiang Ying gritted her teeth, "In the process of exploration, there will always be casualties... Now, I can only sacrifice her in exchange for some experience..."

Su Yurong was stunned for a while, and finally with Feng Zixuan silently left the operating room.

The remaining operations are no longer surgery, but just a "study".

...

Feng Zixuan was too frightened and went back to her room to rest.

Su Yujun kept guarding the door of the operating room so that she could go in and help at any time.

It took more than two hours before Jiang Ying came out.

Her face looked extremely ugly, as if she had just experienced a nightmare.

"Have you found it..." Su Yurong asked in a low voice.

Jiang Ying didn't say a word, just shook her head.

Then, she walked into the bathroom alone.

Su Yurong heard her turn on the faucet, and the sound of water rustled.

She could still hear her crying in a vague way.

Su Yujun did not dare to go into the operating room to observe, so she could only choose to leave and go back to the lower level to find Lu Chengming.

...

Lu Chengming slept for a while and his fever completely subsided.

He learned of the "surgical accident" and immediately held an internal meeting.

This time, Jiang Ying and Xu Zihao also participated.

Jiang Ying made a mistake in his judgment, and the girl had no zombie in her body.

As for the cause, it may be some kind of infectious disease, but other smaller parasites may be just food poisoning.

In short, with current technical means, it is completely impossible to diagnose.

But the result was that the girl died of surgery.

Jiang Ying did not defend her behavior, and she remained silent.

The atmosphere of the meeting was very low. After a few discussions, Su Yurong was the first to express her opinion: "Everyone was frightened by the zombie worms. We cannot afford this risk and do not have the time and ability to do detailed research... Jiang Ying's purpose is to save Lu Chengming and also to save everyone... I went through the whole process. If Jiang Ying was punished, then I would be the same..."

Jiang Ying looked up at Su Yurong, pursed her lips, but still didn't speak.

"There is something wrong... But through this incident, we have gained experience. At least we don't have to worry about Lu Chengming's body..." Tang Wan'er blinked at Lu Chengming, "Even if we need punishment, it should not be too severe..."

Xu Zihao just said, "I have no objection, brother, please decide."

Lu Chengming rubbed his forehead and pondered for a long time.

All survivors of the last days must explore and move forward in the darkness...

There is still a long way to go and there are still many unknown difficulties. The team needs people like Jiang Ying...

"No one died in a surgical accident. The condition was serious and the treatment was ineffective... It was announced like this." Lu Chengming raised his head, "You are not wrong. The incident was caused by me... I will be responsible."

"Brother, how are you responsible?" Xu Zihao said a lot again.

Lu Chengming said with a serious look: "I want to deal with Lei Xiong, occupy the 010 bunker, and get the best medical resources for everyone."
