This Wave of Zombies is No Good - Chapter 15
Suddenly, a loud roar came from the sky, dust was rolled up in the air, and a military helicopter appeared out of nowhere, landing on a nearby open space. At the last moment, they finally waited for the rescue.
First aid began on the plane. For a while, Yu Jingtang’s memory was a bit fragmented. At one moment, he felt someone tearing open his clothes, treating his wounds, and at another moment, he felt blood slowly flowing into his body through his veins.
The use of anesthetics and sedatives made him feel less pain, his consciousness began to numb, and in a half-asleep state, he heard people talking and arguing.
A breathing mask was put on his face.
“…The adrenaline was used very timely, if it was ten minutes later, maybe…”
“…He needs immediate surgery…but according to the regulations, you are in quarantine, we can’t…”
“…He is still in critical condition…blood pressure is dropping…”
“…We must find the bleeding point…”
“…If it’s him, maybe we can save him…”
Something cut open the wound on his chest, then fingers reached in and fiddled with it, clamping the blood vessel with a hemostat.
Yu Jingtang tried desperately to open his eyes, but even such a slight movement became a luxury. He wanted to scream in pain, but he couldn’t make a sound, he struggled to move his fingers. Suddenly, a warm hand held his hand, their fingers intertwined.
Then he knew nothing.
When Yu Jingtang woke up again, he slightly opened his eyes and heard the beeping sound of the monitor. It took him a while to realize where he was, and then he found out that this was the ICU ward of a hospital.
Then he heard a nurse say, “He’s awake, go call Dr. Fang.”
Then there were footsteps, a person in a white coat walked in, and the nurses greeted him, “Hello, Dr. Fang.”
Yu Jingtang noticed that she didn’t call him doctor, but Dr. (TL: Dr. “博士” meant Ph.D and doctor “医生” meant a general term for people who have mastered medical and health knowledge and whose profession is to prevent and treat diseases.)
He suddenly thought of someone, Fang Yazhou, currently the most famous medical expert in the country, a doctor in cell biology, genetics, and biology. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Medicine at the age of twenty-six. By calculation, he was still under thirty years old, but his reputation was already widespread.
The man wore a white coat and a pair of rimless glasses. When he saw Yu Jingtang, he took off his mask and asked him, “Does the wound hurt?”
Yu Jingtang nodded, “A little.” Compared to the previous unbearable pain, it was much better and within his tolerance.
“Pain is normal. Today’s medication has reduced the proportion of anesthetics. During the surgery two days ago, your heart stopped for about half a minute, and the blood in your body was almost completely replaced. We removed part of your internal organs, and the fluid you lost was supplemented with some new drugs, which will help with cell regeneration and hopefully speed up your recovery.” His tone was cold, as if he was not discussing a living person in front of him, but conducting a simple experiment. His handsome face was full of rationality. Then he asked Yu Jingtang again, “Let me see your wound.”
Yu Jingtang nodded, and Fang Yazhou lifted his clothes with his slender fingers, and gently pressed his slightly cold fingers on his body.
“Ugh…” Just a light touch, and Yu Jingtang couldn’t stand it, grabbing the bed sheet with his fingers.
Fang Yazhou asked him, “Does it hurt here? What about here?”
Yu Jingtang nodded, it hurt everywhere, wherever his fingers touched, it hurt from the inside out. This pain made a thin layer of sweat appear on his forehead.
Then, without warning, a cold stethoscope was placed on his chest. Even though it was separated by a thin layer of gauze, it still made Yu Jingtang’s body tremble.
After listening for about ten seconds, Fang Yazhou removed the stethoscope, “The heartbeat is very weak, and the internal healing situation is not very good. At present, you are still relying on infusion for nutrition. When you start to eat, it may be a few days more difficult. In the later stage, massage can be used to promote the peristalsis of the stomach and intestines. I will arrange for the nurse to teach you the specific methods.”
Then he wrote something in the medical record book and said to Yu Jingtang, “You should rest well first, I will be here for the next two days, if there are any problems, you can tell the nurse to call me.”
Yu Jingtang nodded again, he felt very weak, as if speaking would consume a lot of energy.
When Fang Yazhou walked out of the ward, he saw Zou Lang sitting on a chair playing with his phone. At this time, Zou Lang’s head was still wrapped in gauze, and he was also wearing a patient’s uniform. He had dealt with Zou Lang three days ago. At that time, Zou Lang waited until Yu Jingtang entered the operating room before he was willing to accept treatment. Later checks found that two of his ribs were broken on his back. Fortunately, there was no danger to his life.
Seeing Fang Yazhou, Zou Lang looked up. He didn’t speak, but his eyes were full of expectation. These days, he had asked Fang Yazhou countless times. Fang Yazhou pushed his glasses and graciously said to him, “Go in, he’s awake. Although it’s against the rules of visiting, I think being able to interact with people he knows can also help his recovery.”
