Chapter 32 Treatment Acupuncture treatment for zombies

The live broadcast was very effective and successfully guided the topic. The audience also had friendly exchanges in the barrage area.

That’s great. I didn’t let Sister Lin and the others down.

Ye Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when the live broadcast ended, and the mouse even shook when he closed the page.

The players seemed to be more careful than the officials, and tried to avoid content related to the competition. They actively livened up the atmosphere, and only asked questions that could be answered by real NPCs, instead of mixing malicious and difficult words like those "passers-by" last time.

"Xiao Xuan," Sister Lin happened to push the door open at this moment, probably also watching the live broadcast, "Are you tired? It's already very late, go back and rest early. Otherwise..."

He recalled the time when he first moved into the dormitory, when the interviewer and Sister Lin had strange attitudes towards that small room, which always made him wonder if there was something "unclean" in there.

Their vague expressions, ambiguous attitudes, and mysterious looks all make people feel uneasy.

"What else?" he asked quickly. He didn't want to lose a sleep all night again because of his own wild thoughts.

The other party was stunned, thought for a few seconds, and said: "You'd better not say anything--"

"You used this sentence to fight back last time. Even if you are just trying to fool me, can you think of a new line?" He interrupted quickly, not giving the other party the chance to say "I'd rather you don't know."

Sister Lin had no choice but to explain what she knew: "Xiao Xuan, it's like this. In order to be close to the office building, our company's dormitory building was chosen in an old residential area not far away. You know, many people have lived in old residential areas, and among so many people, it is inevitable that one or two people have had accidents. But I don't know much about it, after all, it's not my business."

It was indeed the interviewer who took him to the dormitory in the beginning, and the former should know more about the inside story.

She added a few more words, frightening the young man who had just entered the society: "You live on the fourth floor, right? Although I don't believe these things, they have always said that it is unlucky. Originally, they hung a '5A' sign to cover the numbers painted on the wall, but within a week, the sign fell down and hit a resident on the head..."

"Sister, stop talking. Is it okay if I stop asking?" Ye Xing waved his hands to stop her. He was actually quite timid, let alone such "strange things" happening around him.

Sister Lin became even more excited: "And your room is an extra room, the rent is very low. Before our company, there was a person——"

"Sister Lin, it's really late. I'm leaving first. See you tomorrow." He ran out without even having time to close the door.

He didn't dare go back to the dormitory after listening to any more. He couldn't really sleep in the game cabin, could he?

…

"Senior, are these the students?" Xiao Qin pointed at the practice dummy with several needles stuck in it in front of him.

"Hmm..." Ye Xuan walked around and looked carefully, "Very good, Xiao Qin. I can see that you are very talented. Would you like to consider changing your career to become a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner?"

"Senior, you are joking. I am just learning some basic knowledge temporarily for self-protection. As for research, I am more suitable for the current direction." Director Qin humbly rejected the other party's proposal.

The Chinese medicine doctor was just speaking casually. He knew that the "genius young man" in front of him was not interested in this, so he did not force him. Instead, he encouraged him with a few words.

"Director Qin." The intern handed over the latest research report. She didn't know why their leader was obsessed with acupuncture these days, but she understood that it would also be very helpful for Qin to regain his confidence.

So even if the Chinese doctor was a "scammer", she would welcome him. She didn't want Director Qin to return to his decadent and confused self.

"You're here at the right time. Did the volunteer show any abnormal reaction today?" Qin had always wanted to try acupuncture after learning that it might help calm the zombies, but he hadn't encountered a good opportunity yet.

The intern felt that the director's expression at this moment was a bit twisted with a smile. Was she seeing things or...

Although the director looked a little horrified, she still reported the true situation: "Yes, he refused to eat and tried to attack the person in charge of 'feeding'."

Zombies are called "zombies" in part because they have lost their sanity and human behavior, making them like monsters that are difficult to harm.

Doctors have a kind heart, and Ye Xing believes that as a Chinese medicine practitioner, he can treat and influence them.

"I'm going to take care of this troublesome 'patient'. Senior, do you want to stay here or come with me?" Qin turned around and said to Ye Xing.

How can you refuse the invitation of the "protagonist"? This is your script. If you say you want to go, can he still say he doesn't want to pay attention to the plot?

"Let's go and have a look." He nodded in agreement.

Before they reached the door of the observation room, they heard a roar coming through the glass of the room, which gave them the feeling that it was indeed not something that a human being would make.

"Be quiet!" Director Qin's temper flared up again. He silently repeated to himself "Don't hit volunteers" several times, picked up the medical box given by his senior, and pushed the door open and walked into the room.

But how could the zombies stop just because of his words? When they saw him enter the door, they wanted to break free from their restraints and pounce on him.

Looking at the patient's rolled back eyes, the young man repeated three times what his predecessors had told him: "A doctor should have a compassionate heart," then he stood still and opened the box to take out the needle.

That’s not right. He doesn’t seem to be a doctor. Are these four words necessarily related to him?

He looked back at the Chinese medicine doctor outside the glass door and found the connection.

Ye Xuan noticed that Xiao Qin looked back, and thought that he had forgotten which acupoint to prick, so he quickly gestured a few times so that the "treatment" could continue.

Qin Chong smiled at him, then changed his expression when he turned to face the zombies.

In order to minimize contact with zombies, acupuncture needles were selected as super-long needles, each of which was 30 centimeters long, to avoid being bitten or scratched by zombies and reduce the risk of infection.

Qin took out a few acupuncture needles and carefully looked the zombie up and down, choosing the most suitable distance. If it was too close, it might get hurt, and if it was too far, it might not hit the acupoint, so it needed to be considered carefully.

He thought for a moment and then made his move. His speed was extremely fast and his movements were smooth, not like a beginner at all.

The skin of "zombies" has formed a protective layer with a harder texture, which is more difficult to pierce with a needle than normal human skin, so strength is very important. If you are not careful, the needle will not be inserted firmly and will fall off.

Director Qin's hands were steady. Even at a fairly close distance, he didn't stab the zombie when it struggled. His dynamic vision was probably pretty good as well.

Ye Xuan always felt that this scientific research genius was not an ordinary scientific researcher, and there were many discords between Qin and this place. He couldn't tell what made him think this, but for him, a real NPC, it couldn't be a bad thing.

Wait, if the plot gets more complicated, he'll be the one who's troubled!

"Senior, why don't you come in and check on the patient's condition?" The sudden voice brought Ye Xuan back from his wild imagination. He looked and found that Director Qin was waiting for him with the door open.

It’s over so soon?

Ye Xuan felt that it was necessary for him to check the child's learning results over the past few days, so he followed the other party into the observation room.

The zombie has calmed down and the whiteness in its eyes is no longer visible. Although its pupils are still out of focus, the situation has improved.

"Hello, can you hear me?" Qin asked loudly.

The zombie looked exhausted and aggrieved, curled up there without moving.

"Senior, what's going on?" The young man was puzzled. "I have done exactly what you taught me, but he still hasn't regained consciousness."

The Chinese doctor felt that it was really miserable for this zombie to fall into Qin's hands. How could it be "tortured" like this?

"Xiao Qin, we need to be more caring when it comes to patients. They were volunteers who came to your institute from the beginning. You may treat them as experimental materials, but they are human beings and an indispensable part of drug research." The senior paused to let the other party understand first, "Now they have become like this because of your mistakes. We should do our best to treat and help them, instead of treating them like enemies."

Qin felt that there seemed to be a divine light behind Chinese medicine, purifying and cleansing his soul.

"I understand, senior. I won't let you down." The boy said seriously.

"Very good, keep going, young man. As long as you make up your mind and work hard, a bright future lies ahead." Ye Xuan always felt that his words were very familiar, as if someone had said the same thing to him.

At this moment, the interviewer who was in the meeting sneezed, and the sound was heard throughout the conference room through the microphone.

…

After several days of acupuncture treatment, the volunteer's condition improved. At least he no longer pounced on and bit people.

However, Ye Xuan believed that this might not be the effect of acupuncture itself, but that Director Qin made the zombies feel fear.

"Xiao Qin, after I talked to you last time, have you been more gentle during your treatment?" the Chinese doctor asked with a smile.

"Yes. In order to let him suffer less pain from being pricked by needles, I gave him two or three needles at a time and practiced for half a day." Qin felt that he was full of humanitarian care.

"Uh..." Ye Xuan didn't know how to comment, and his smile began to crack.

What is more difficult than curing zombies is educating children.

From his perspective, this is truly a development game.

"Director Qin, please sign this document." The intern handed the boy a folder.

"What document? I've been very busy lately..." He was stunned as soon as he opened it. "Project transfer? Didn't we agree that if there is any problem with the drug we are researching, we will be responsible for it? Who proposed the transfer? I don't agree!"

She took the folder that Qin threw to her. This was an order given by the director himself, and she had no way to return it.

"Director Qin, it's those people from Lin City. Our equipment isn't as good as theirs, and our technology isn't as advanced as theirs. Now they're rushing to help, so there's no reason to refuse." An older researcher also advised.

"I said I don't agree, and I mean I don't agree." The boy got angry again, and no one present could do anything about him.
