“Oh, by the way, what’s your name?” After the surgery, the injured person was carried off and the next injured person was carried up. Zheng Ren used the intermission period to ask Liu Xuzhi that question. Liu Xuzhi sweated profusely. After performing surgery, he did not even introduce himself. Was it because Teacher Zheng looked young and he was careless? Liu Xuzhi immediately suppressed the surprise in his heart and said apologetically, “Teacher Zheng, my name is Liu Xuzhi. May I ask if you work in the Imperial Capital Hospital?” “Yes, I just went over.” Zheng Ren turned around to brush his hands. “Go to the other operating theater and see if you can help them out there. I chatted for a while and feel more energetic.” “Uh…” Liu Xuzhi was very helpless but when he heard what Zheng Ren said, he habitually respected Zheng Ren’s opinion and turned around to leave. Anyway, now that he knew that he worked at the Imperial Capital Hospital, this was a good opportunity. If he had time, he would go there to study. The surgeon in Xinglin Garden was elusive. It had been a long time since he had started a live broadcast. Moreover, according to teacher Zheng, his skill level was higher than surgeon from Xinglin Garden. He could not go abroad, but he should be able to go to the Imperial Capital Hospital to further his studies. Ever since he watched the surgery live broadcast in Xinglin Garden, Liu Xuzhi had the idea of going to further his studies. However, after seeing the surgeon’s skill in the operating theater, he did not want to find a random place to study. If that was the case, he might as well watch the live broadcast at home. But now… Liu Xuzhi thought to himself. He turned around and left the operating theater with the nurse. The airtight lead door was closed as surgery began once again. When he came to another operating theater, Liu Xuzhi saw a different scene. Mu Tao was lying on the sofa, half asleep and half awake. In the operating theater, Su Yun was performing the surgery alone. Liu Xuzhi knew that everyone was very tired. If they could sleep, they would sleep for a while. Otherwise, they would not be able to perform surgery. As for Teacher Zheng, he was a monster. He had only performed surgery once. After chatting for a while, Liu Xuzhi had already labeled Zheng Ren as a monster. “Hey, who’s that? Are you the new doctor?” The intercom in the operating theater was suddenly switched on and Su Yun’s voice was heard. Is he asking me? Liu Xuzhi adjusted himself and immediately said to the microphone, “h.e.l.lo, teacher. I’m an intervention doctor who came down from the frontline. Can I go in and help you in the operating theater?” “Oh? You’re quite polite. Come in and chat with me for a while. I’m so sleepy.” Su Yun was doing the superselection on screen. He had napped on and off a few times before so he was much more energetic. This teacher seemed to be easy to talk to, so Liu Xuzhi made a judgment to ‘court death’. He saw that there was no line inside, so he immediately opened the airtight lead door and entered the operating theater from the operating room. He called the circulating nurse and washed his hands in front of the sink in the other corridor. After putting on his clothes, Liu Xuzhi consciously stood at the a.s.sistant’s position. He wanted to help Su Yun hold the guide wire but saw that this teacher’s technique was the same as teacher Zheng’s next door. He crossed his left and right hands. This kind of technique made Liu Xuzhi feel useless. He could not help even if he wanted to. Was he supposed to act as a nurse and continue pus.h.i.+ng the medicine? Or was he just here to chat to make this pract.i.tioner feel more energetic? “What’s your name?” Su Yun asked. His words were more direct and sounded quite rude. However, Liu Xuzhi knew that in this kind of situation that communication was very direct. In the face of the h.e.l.lish situation, no one had the patience to exchange pleasantries and perfunctory greetings. On the other hand, this person came up to him and asked him questions. It seemed that he was a little better than Teacher Zheng next door. Teacher Zheng only remembered to ask him at the end. “Teacher, h.e.l.lo. My name is Liu Xuzhi.” “Oh, my name is Su Yun. Don’t call me teacher. Just call me Brother Yun,” Su Yun said casually. Liu Xuzhi was speechless. This guy did not look like much. How could he call him brother right away? Moreover, he didn’t look that old. Was it really okay to call him brother? That was what he thought. However, Liu Xuzhi was used to being a coward. He could call anyone anything they wanted him to. He wouldn’t lose sleep over whether to call him brother or not. “When did you come up?” Su Yun asked as he operated. “I came as soon as I got the news. I came a little late. It was already 16 hours after I received the mission,” Liu Xuzhi said politely. It was rare to receive a mission in 16 hours. “Oh, by that time… We were almost in Nanchuan Town,” Su Yun calculated and began to recall. Although it was only a few days, it was as if many years had pa.s.sed. Some things were intentionally or unintentionally forgotten. It took a lot of effort to recall them. Silent, Liu Xuzhi received a critical hit once again. “You came quite quickly. Where was the rescue?” Su Yun asked. However, this guy was only asking questions absentmindedly to talk to him. He did not expect to receive a reply from Liu Xuzhi at all as he said, “Forget it. It doesn’t matter where we are. It’s good as long as we survive. When we entered the mountain, we saw tens of thousands of dragonflies pouncing on us like dark clouds. Did you see them outside?” Liu Xuzhi felt like he was being despised. Outside? He was at the frontline, alright. But compared to Nanchuan Town, it had been nothing. This person’s words were really unpleasant to hear. He was full of arrogance and directly looked down on him. Liu Xuzhi quickly corrected his view of Su Yun and gradually returned to the impression he should have. “I met a lot of big mosquitoes outside. I couldn’t chase them away and they bit me until my whole body was covered in blisters. One day, I fell asleep in a daze and dreamed that the mosquitoes were as big as people and flew over me, darkening the sky.” Liu Xuzhi was still very honest. He didn’t retort Su Yun but instead, told him about his own dream. “If only I were as ignorant as you.” Su Yun sighed and said out of habit, “Sometimes, ignorance is bliss. If I had such a dream, my first thought would be that insects can’t grow that big.” Liu Xuzhi was stunned. How could this person say that he was ignorant so directly? Did he still have any basic manners? “Insects don’t have the heart structure of mammals and don’t exchange blood with oxygen. Their blood can’t carry oxygen so their oxygen circulation can only be naturally spread through the body by air.” Su Yun looked at the screen in front of him. He was seriously doing the super selection while his mouth moved out of habit. To Su Yun, these things were fragments of knowledge that he had memorized in his mind. He did not even need to use his brain to find them as they just casually came forth. “If insects can grow so big, they will die immediately. Old Liu, let me tell you, we are all materialists. Next time you have such a dream, you must open your eyes wide and see how these mosquitoes die.” Liu Xuzhi’s face was once again filled with tears. He did not want to have such a dream. He still had to open his eyes wide and see how the big mosquito would die? Wasn’t this nonsense? “Oh, right, I forgot that you lack the knowledge and don’t know about these sorts of things.” Su Yun’s selection was successful. His right hand clenched into a fist and he encouraged himself, “Push the medicine and embolise!”
