The Surgeon's Studio

Chapter 673: Fireworks In The Dark

There was no need to be polite at this time.

Zheng Ren did not hide his tears. He wiped them dry with his sleeves and crawled out of the ventilation window.

The air outside was much better. The rain had stopped and there was a sense of freshness.

Taking a deep breath of fresh air, Zheng Ren looked at the dark horizon in the distance. He raised his hand slightly and made a fist pump.

Some people and some things were never forgotten. They would never forget.

“Chief Zheng, are you alright?” Zhao Yunlong appeared at the side and asked.

At this moment, he went back to addressing Zheng Ren as Chief Zheng.

“I’m fine.” Zheng Ren grinned and smiled. “The patient’s surgery was successful. Send him to the back. As long as he receives blood transfusions, he will be able to survive. Now, try to replenish some fluid. His condition will be better.”

As he spoke, Zheng Ren suddenly saw a bruise on Zhao Yunlong’s face and the corner of his mouth was swollen. He asked in puzzlement, “Did the aftershock accidentally hit you?”

Zhao Yunlong noticed Zheng Ren’s gaze and was a little angry. He cursed hatefully and said, “That son of a btch Su Yun went crazy. He beat me up.”

Zheng Ren was speechless.

“It took four scouts to pin him down. He really is a good fighter. Ordinary people really can’t beat him,” Zhao Yunlong said.

“Where is he? Take me to him,” Zheng Ren said.

“He’s smoking over there.” Zhao Yunlong was obviously a little angry. Perhaps Su Yun had threatened him but he did not want to meet him. He pointed to a dark place in the distance.

It was dark and no one could see him clearly. There was only a dim light.

Zheng Ren immediately strode over.

Su Yun was sitting on a rock. Not far away, two soldiers were looking at him vigilantly.

“Are you crazy?” Zheng Ren asked.

“Idiot,” Su Yun answered indifferently. His black hair was stuck to his forehead and he looked weak.

“Give me one.”

Su Yun did not know where he got the cigarette from. With a shake of his hand, a cigarette popped out of the cigarette box and he threw it to Zheng Ren.

Facing the fire, Zheng Ren took a deep breath and sat beside Su Yun. He did not say anything. He just looked at the dark sky in the distance and no one knew what he was thinking.

Silence. The fireworks flickered in the dark.

After a long silence, Su Yun said quietly, “If there is a next time, I will not listen to what you say. I must go down with you.”

“There’s no need.” Zheng Ren knew that Su Yun could not hold back this chatterbox and smiled.

If he did not say anything in front of Su Yun, he did not mind. Su Yun definitely could not stand it.

“If you have the ability, you can watch from outside.” After saying that, Su Yun took a deep breath of smoke. The cigarette’s light lit up.

“My skill level is higher so I can play a greater role inside. If it were you, you probably wouldn’t be able to finish before the next aftershock,” Zheng Ren said truthfully.

Such sharp sarcasm made Su Yun’s chest feel tight. The area in front of his chest hurt like needles. He felt like he was going through a heart attack.

Su Yun wanted to argue back but what did he say? A heart transplant? Su Yun had a feeling that if he used his best technique to argue, he might be slapped in the face when he went back.

Fck, he was really holding his breath.

“Next time, don’t be so agitated. Wait for me outside,” Zheng Ren said. “You’re quite good at fighting, aren’t you?”

“Zhao Yunlong is like an embroidered pillow. He looks tall and sturdy but will fall at the first touch. I can beat up to five of him myself,” Su Yun said hatefully.

All the grievances were directed at Zhao Yunlong.

“After practicing, there might be a difference.”

“I know everything after watching it twice.”

“Impressive.”

Zheng Ren was the one who killed the topic, so they fell silent.

After a long time, Su Yun asked, “Leaving at dawn? There’s a group of patients to be sent to the back. The helicopter can’t carry so many people.”

“Yeah, let’s go together,” Zheng Ren said. “Here, we can only use thirty percent of our abilities.”

“I’ve never met someone as narcissistic as you,” Su Yun said disdainfully.

“Tell me the truth,” Zheng Ren said. “In general surgery, I’m only at the professor level. Maybe I’ll be better at difficult and complicated diseases? But in interventional surgery, I’m definitely at the top of the world. There’s no need to be humble. If I’m humble, do other people still need to be doctors?”

“...”

The truth was really unpleasant to hear. Couldn’t this guy be a little more humble?

However, when he became humble, even his smile looked awkward.

Su Yun did not look at Zheng Ren. Instead, he looked at the sky in the east.

“Rest for a while. Don’t wait here for daybreak,” Zheng Ren said.

“I’m not tired. I’m just wondering if I’ll be as busy as a dog later,” Su Yun said softly.

“It won’t be easy at the frontline, and it won’t be easy in the future either,” Zheng Ren said. “Based on this range, I estimate that there might be more than 100,000 cases of surgeries that will need to be done.”

It was about the same as Su Yun’s estimation. If they completed the surgery as soon as possible, everyone—including the local doctors in Chengdu and the new doctors—would probably be so tired that they would vomit blood.

This battle had just begun.

Zheng Ren was mentally prepared for the storm that was coming. It would not start tomorrow. Ever since he set foot on this land, the struggle never stopped.

After sitting for less than twenty minutes and taking a breather, Zheng Ren and Su Yun took part in the rescue together.

More and more survivors were dug out from the ruins, filling up the town square. Zheng Ren did not try to hide it anymore. He walked all the way, treating those that could be treated. Those that could not be treated could settle down and decide whether to be transported by helicopter or by the mountain road to Pengxi Village ahead of them.

Zheng Ren was very cautious. For every serious illness, he wrote down the diagnosis and recommended treatment plan.

At this moment, he no longer hid it and did not have the mood to do so.

Perhaps when they set off after daybreak, a mudslide on the mountain road would kill him and the System.

Yes, he would definitely die, but System might not.

Moreover, it was a matter of life and death. There was no point in hiding it.

After writing down the diagnosis of more than a hundred patients in one breath, they finally came to an end.

Zhao Yunlong looked at Zheng Ren with a complicated expression. He had seen all the diagnoses. His own diagnosis was simply rubbish compared to Zheng Ren’s.

In his mind, there was a small person who stood there like Su Yun. He said in a strange tone, “Chief Zhao, do you even know how to treat patients?”

He really wanted to ask Zheng Ren how he had diagnosed the patients.

At first, he still had some doubts but after a few patients went over, Zhao Yunlong saw that the diagnosis of the thoracic department was similar to his own but deeper. He immediately knelt down.

If he could return alive, he would definitely consult Chief Zheng. Zhao Yunlong had planted a seed in his heart.

The fact that he could participate in the evaluation of the Nobel Prize was not a lie.

There was still a gap. He had to work hard to catch up.

After daybreak, a few severely injured people who were seriously injured but not enough to get on the helicopter were laid on a stretcher and tied to it. A stretcher was carried by four soldiers each from the People’s Liberation Army. Zheng Ren and Su Yun were in charge of handling the emergency situation and rushed all the way to Pengxi Village.
