Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

Chapter 548 Doomsday Returns, Real Gold Kills Crazy 20

The door to the lab was slightly ajar, and it was pitch black inside, with only a faint emergency light flickering. Nan Xi took out a camping lantern, and under the bright light, the outline of the entire lab became clear.

She saw some experimental records and data scattered on the table, as if some secret research had been conducted here. Nan Xi carefully stored these materials into the system space.

Although she didn't know what use this information would be, her intuition told her that it might be very important someday in the future.

Just as Nan Xi was about to return, a faint moan came from not far away.

She hesitated for a moment, then finally walked over.

A gray-haired old man wearing glasses was hiding in the corner of an abandoned ward. He was shaking and obviously injured.

Seeing Nan Xi approaching, his eyes behind the lenses showed a look of fear and trepidation, and he shrank back:

"Girl, are you a human or a zombie?"

Nan Xi: "..."

How does she look like a zombie?

"I am a human being... Are you okay, old man?"

The old man raised his head, shook his head, tears flashed in his eyes:

"I can't get better..."

He stretched out his injured right leg, only to see the skin and flesh peeled back, blood dripping, and the shape of the wound was extremely hideous:

"I was bitten, but I don't want to become that thing..."

As he spoke, he handed the sharp scalpel that he had been holding tightly in his hand to Nan Xi:

"Girl, help me... I'm a doctor, I can't end my own life..."

Nan Xi looked at the scalpel and knew what the old man meant.

This is a somewhat tragic moment - a doctor who has spent his entire life saving lives has to choose to end the life that he considers most precious in his old age.

However, Nan Xi's expression was somewhat speechless.

She took the scalpel and slowly raised it up, her eyes full of murderous intent... The old man closed his eyes tightly, stretched his neck and waited for death.

But my eyelids were still shaking.

Nan Xi: "..."

She took out alcohol, disinfectant, cotton balls, gauze, hemostatic drugs from Maotuanzi's space one by one... and then quickly disinfected the area around the old man's wound.

Before the old man could react, she had already raised her knife and swiftly dug out all the flesh and blood near the wound.

The old man opened his eyes in pain for a moment and screamed:

"Ahhhh, little girl, what are you doing? You, you better at least give me an anesthetic shot!!"

Nan Xi ignored him completely and just quickly cleaned the wound, then skillfully performed a one-stop service of disinfection, hemostasis, and bandaging.

Her movements were extremely skillful, yet carried a hint of cruelty that showed she didn't care about the patient's life or death - this was something she had done repeatedly in her previous life.

In just a few breaths, the wound on the old man's leg had been cleaned up neatly. The old man opened his eyes wide and looked at Nan Xi with a somewhat incredible expression:

"Girl, are you a doctor or nurse in our hospital? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Nan Xi: "..."

Is this the point?

She replied concisely:

“I’m not a doctor or a nurse.”

"But I can tell you, judging by the speed of blood clotting in the wound, you were just bitten by a zombie. The virus is currently only concentrated around the wound and won't cause a systemic infection immediately. The bitten person won't mutate immediately..."

She explained:

"As long as you clean the area around the wound promptly and take some antibiotics, there's a good chance that infection won't occur."

Then, Nan Xi asked a soul-searching question:

"As a professional doctor, haven't you thought about this?"

"what?"

The old man's expression was a little dazed.

Yes, as a professional doctor, how could he not have thought of such simple medical knowledge?

All I can say is that it is still the early days of the apocalypse, and everyone is too afraid of zombies, and they don’t understand them well, which is why he completely loses his sanity in the face of an emergency.

He even gave up the most basic medical knowledge and survival instinct.

Thinking back to how he had just looked like he wanted to die, the old man felt his face instantly burn. After a moment of silence, he said with shame:

"I was confused for a moment. Thank you, little girl."

Not only did it save his life, it also reminded him of his mission as a doctor. And, in the apocalypse, even if he didn't have any special abilities, so what? He still had medical knowledge and a sharp scalpel.

Calmness and knowledge may also become powerful tools for survival and saving the world in the end times.

"It doesn't matter,"

Nan Xi took out a powerful antibiotic from the space and handed it to the old man:

"Well, I got it from your hospital."

In fact, her question just now was also a test.

Judging from the emotional fluctuations coming from the old man, Nan Xi deduced that the rather mysterious laboratory and the research data just now should have nothing to do with the old man.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have acted so unfamiliar and panicked about being bitten by a zombie.

Seeing the old man's stunned look, Nan Xi explained:

"I'm a member of a nearby temporary survival base. I've been ordered to come to the hospital to get medicine. This hospital probably doesn't have any medical resources right now, and it's not safe..."

At this moment, she heard the sound of fighting outside gradually weakening, and knew that Li Mingyuan and his men had basically controlled the situation.

"So, would you consider coming back to the base with me for a while and rest up before we talk?"

The old man was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly.

Then he tilted his head back and poured the entire bottle of antibiotics into his mouth. He would definitely survive, he still wanted to see his son!

By the time Nan Xi led the old man out of the building, Li Mingyuan and the combat team had indeed concluded the battle. The ground was a mess, with zombie remains scattered all over the place.

In order to prevent new situations from occurring, the two teams quickly got on the vehicle and returned to the base.

On the way, Nan Xi keenly discovered that Zhou Ruonan and Li Mingyuan seemed to have some sparks during the battle.

The two of them would steal a glance at each other from time to time.

Nan Xi: "..."

This is put together very quickly.

What she didn't expect was that when the car arrived at the base, Deputy Director Gao was there to greet her personally. But the person he was welcoming was...

"Dad, are you okay..."

Gao Zhiyuan examined the old man's body from head to toe:

"I've already told you it's not safe outside in this apocalyptic world. Since you're retired, you should just stay home. But you insisted on going to the hospital. Now you're scared, right?"

Gao Zhiyuan kept nagging and blaming.

Seeing the old man limping and trying to explain himself with a look of grievance on his face, everyone in the car was in a mess.

It turns out that the old man who kept humming in the car was actually Deputy Director Gao’s biological father, the former director of the hospital who had just retired.

"Thank you so much, Miss Nan..."

Gao Zhiyuan felt a little complicated.

I thought I was just casually recruiting two female generals, but I didn't expect that the female generals saved their own father on their first mission - this time I owe them a big favor.
