Ultimate Firepower

Chapter 683 Corner
Chaihuo Niu huddled in the corner, pressing herself against the wall, too afraid to move.

The doctor went to the bathroom to wash his hands, kicked open the half-closed toilet door, and came to the bedside with his hands raised. He saw Gao Yi, whose clothes had been cut off and who was thrown naked on the bed.

"Heartbeat."

"36."

"blood pressure."

“60/40.”

As they were talking, the nurse handed over rubber gloves. After cleaning his hands with solid alcohol, the doctor put on the rubber gloves himself.

"Prepare for surgery, administer anesthesia."

Gao Yi had IV needles inserted in both his hands. The nurse injected anesthetic into the syringes, then glanced at the simple blood type test strip placed to the side and quickly said, "Type B blood."

"Distributing blood products."

Fresh blood plasma is unavailable and cannot be produced; this type of emergency treatment can only be achieved by using blood products prepared on-site.

The nurse took out the saline solution stored in the suitcase, and then she began to prepare the plasma, mixing blood products such as hemoglobin and platelets into plasma.

Before the nurse could even administer the blood transfusion, the doctor picked up a scalpel and made a cut along the two gun muzzles, which were less than two centimeters apart.

Chaihuo Niu closed her eyes tightly.

This time, the doctor didn't say anything more. He simply picked up the rib that had been broken by the bullet and tossed it into the tray next to him. Then, he began to use tweezers to probe down the wound, quickly searching for the bullet and the bleeding point at the same time.

"The bullet is lodged in the body. Bad news. It's a burst bullet."

The doctor squeezed out a severely deformed bullet, which was now flattened. To make matters worse, the bullet was a lead-core exploding bullet, meaning the doctor would have to remove all the small lead fragments scattered throughout Gao Yi's body.

The doctor tossed the severely deformed bullet into the enamel tray, making a soft clanging sound.

Chaihuo Niu couldn't help but open her eyes again.

The nurse is hanging the blood plasma on a makeshift rack.

The doctor quickly clamped the bleeding point he found with a hemostat, and then he probed along the second gun muzzle, and soon he clamped the second bullet.

"Good news, it's a steel-core armored bullet; bad news, the bullet is severely deflected and tumbles."

The second bullet was also thrown into the tray, this time making a louder and crisper sound.

Chaihuo Niu felt a sudden urge to vomit, so she quickly covered her mouth and closed her eyes again.

The nurse said casually, "Heart rate 25. This is the first time I've ever seen a mirror image person."

"Me too, I need to have another rib removed."

"How has he managed to survive until now?"

"I don't know, maybe big shots don't die easily."

The two chatted while the surgery was being performed, and they didn't seem very nervous. For some reason, Chaihuo Niu didn't seem so nervous either.

Chaihuo Niu couldn't help but open her eyes again, but after seeing the bloody scene that resembled a slaughterhouse, she couldn't help but gag.

The doctor didn't move, but the nurse gave Chaihuo Niu a warning look, so Chaihuo Niu, out of fear, chose to turn around and face the corner.

"This isn't the first time he's been shot."

"Really? Then should he be considered lucky or unlucky?"

"Of course I'm lucky. A normal person would have died long ago. A mirror image person is a one in a million chance. I filled a gap in my career."

"Me too."

“I know, hemostats.”

The nurse handed over the hemostat, glanced sideways at the portable, simple cardiopulmonary monitor, and said, "Heart rate 16, blood pressure 0, the blood pressure monitor is broken."

"Too low to be detectable; it has a strong effect on the heart and causes vasoconstriction."

The two are still having a relatively relaxed conversation, but they've sped up their speech and are using more jargon that the girl can't understand.

After the nurse left, she went to the other side of the bed, took out the medicine from the unfolded suitcase, and began to prepare it.

The doctor suddenly said, "His cardiopulmonary function is too strong; he's still alive."

"Will you die?"

"do not know."

The nurse got up and injected the medication into the IV line. After rinsing the line with saline solution, she pushed in a second dose of medication.

"I would be more confident in a well-equipped operating room, but I don't have confidence here."

The doctor spoke again, and the nurse whispered, "It's okay, just do your best."

"Check the news and observe the situation."

While undergoing surgery, I also had to keep an eye on what was happening outside, lest I get myself caught up in this situation.

The nurse had originally planned to do it herself, but after seeing the girl in the corner, she changed her mind. So she said to the girl in an unyielding tone, "You, turn on the TV."

"There's no television here..."

The girl cautiously answered the request, and then immediately said, "I can use my phone."

"Internet TV, Fox News Channel."

The doctor suddenly said, "I think it's a good time to watch CNN."

CNN.

The doctor and nurses ignored Chaihuo Niu, who took out her phone and started playing the news, turning the volume up slightly.

My phone started playing breaking news; judging from the footage, it was from a place not too far from here.

But the doctors and nurses ignored Chai Huonv, and it was unclear whether they had heard her. Suddenly, Chai Huonv couldn't help but gasp, because a familiar figure appeared on the news, and what the host said horrified her.

"He...the president..."

Chaihuo Niu gasped in surprise. The doctor didn't look up or move, but the nurse looked at Chaihuo Niu again and said coldly, "If you make another sound, I'll kill you."

The girl suddenly shut her mouth.

"Heart stopped!"

The nurse suddenly said something, and then the doctor and nurses suddenly became flustered, but they didn't say anything. The doctor put down the scalpel and began to press on Gao Yi's right chest, while the nurse frantically injected several kinds of drugs into the IV line.

The nurse did not flush the tube this time.

After at least a few minutes, the doctor suddenly let out a long sigh of relief, and the nurse then said in a trembling voice, "Heartbeat 20."

"Wipe your sweat."

The nurse carefully wiped the doctor's forehead with a piece of gauze, while the doctor picked up the scalpel again.

"The major bleeding point has been found, so the jump should not have been stopped."

"It's too serious; it's normal for him to die."

"Well."

Just then, the news footage was suddenly interrupted again. Accompanied by subtitles, the host said in a slightly panicked tone: "We have just received breaking news that another nuclear explosion has occurred in Kyoto, Japan. There is no footage of the scene yet, but according to reliable sources, Japan has experienced at least two nuclear explosions."

Chaihuo Niu didn't seem to care much about the news, but the doctor stopped and stared at her blankly.

Chaihuo Niu felt a little uneasy, and she couldn't help but shift her body slightly as she pressed herself against the corner of the wall.

The nurse whispered, "Oh no, they really dare to do that."

The doctor lowered his head again, put down the scalpel, held the hemostat in one hand, and stretched out the other, saying, "Vascular suture."

The two men bowed their heads again to begin surgery, while Chaihuo Niu remained silent.

Time passed slowly, yet also quickly. Suddenly, Chaihuo Niu noticed that her phone's battery was low. She glanced at the time in the corner of the screen and realized that the surgery had already lasted three hours.

It seems the surgery is far from over.

The nurses have already changed the blood plasma three times.

The phone ran out of battery and shut down. The doctor didn't look up, but the nurse looked at Chaihuo Niu, shrugged slightly, and gave her a questioning look.

The girl, her voice trembling with tears, said, "The power's out."

"Charging, continue discharging."

The nurse said one thing, and Chaihuo Niu had no choice but to leave the corner where she was standing. She took out a charger from her small bag, charged her phone, and placed it on the bedside table away from the two of them. After turning it on and reopening the news, she voluntarily stood in the corner again.

The news was interrupted briefly, and now it's changed again.

Another spokesperson was brought in, and this spokesperson said in a hurried and urgent tone: "The suspect has been successfully apprehended. We have no further information to disclose at this time, but based on preliminary investigations, the Secretary of Homeland Security is convinced that this assassination was orchestrated."

"Are you saying this was a political assassination?"

The spokesperson paused for a moment, then said very seriously, "I think the term 'armed rebellion' is more appropriate. The minister has already asked the vice president to declare a state of emergency. Next."

The doctor looked up again, and the nurse frowned, saying, "Is the situation getting more and more serious?"

The doctor lowered his head, pondered for a moment, and said in a low voice, "It has nothing to do with us."

The nurse stopped talking.

Chaihuo Niu didn't quite understand their conversation; all she wanted to do was pee in the nearby restroom.

But when Chaihuo Niu was about to speak, she noticed that the doctor's crotch was already soaked.

It looks like the doctor wet his pants.

Chaihuo Niu looked at the nurse and then noticed that the nurse's jeans were wet down to the cuffs.

Chaihuo Niu hesitated. After thinking about it, she decided it was better to keep quiet.

She had indeed been holding it in for a long time, and she was indeed nervous and scared. After giving up on asking to go to the toilet, Chaihuo Niu could no longer hold back her urge to urinate. Just as she was about to urinate, the nurse seemed to sense something and looked up at her, saying, "Go to the toilet!"

The girl was wearing super short shorts and stockings, and she would pee on the floor, which is probably why the nurse took pity on her.

Chaihuo Niu hurriedly went to the toilet, but she didn't dare to stay any longer. After finishing, she forced herself to return to the corner where she was standing, suppressing her fear.

"chocolate."

The doctor spoke again, and the nurse picked up the chocolate, unwrapped it, stood next to the doctor, and fed it to him bite by bite.

Yes, it had been more than six hours, and Chaihuo Niu suddenly felt a little hungry.

"water."

The nurse picked up a bag of glucose, inserted a tube, and brought it to the doctor's mouth. The doctor bit the tube, quickly drank the entire bag of glucose, then turned his head to the side and said, "Blood pressure."

“55/30.”

"very good."

The two started chatting again, and the doctor said casually, "His physical condition is really strong. I once suspected that he was Superman."

"If he's still alive, maybe he really is."

It was already daylight outside.

The surgery lasted all night, and now they've finally started chatting again.

For some reason, after overhearing the two chatting, Chaihuo Niu suddenly felt that the situation might be stable.

The god who can grant her wishes may not be dead.
