Guide to Pretending to be a Beta in the Apocalypse [GB]

In an apocalypse overrun by zombies and full of lurking dangers, a saying has always circulated: "When light is devoured, it is the day of the Enigma's descent. They will become the king of...

“Drip—drip—”

"drop--"

A bright and clean white room is filled with observation screens of various sizes. Most of the screens display smooth straight lines or orderly waveband lines. In front of each screen is an observer wearing a white robe.

The sensor wires of various colors below these screens are all connected to a huge cocoon in the glass room directly in front of the observation room.

The waveband on one of the screens fluctuated slightly by about a millimeter, which was immediately noticed by the observers in front of the screen. Then, three observers stood up at the same time.

"Endorphin Fluctuation—"

"Cortisol levels are rising—"

"Adrenaline levels rising—"

An observer lowered his head and spoke into the intercom no longer pinned to his collar: "Notify the bishop, we've detected emotional fluctuations in the observer's consciousness."

Outside the door, there was a flurry of footsteps, and someone strode into the observation room. "What's with the emotional fluctuations?"

Within fifty seconds, an analyst had compiled a table on the screen and replied timidly, "Preliminary observation and analysis show that the emotion conveyed appears to be... displeasure."

After a long time without hearing a response from the person in front of him, the analyst raised his head slightly, but saw that the handsome blond young man in front of him had moist eyes, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

The young man placed one hand on his chest and stroked the cocoon through the glass with the other. His eyes were filled with piety as he said, "Increase the local stimulating hormone. Make sure... that He wakes up as soon as possible."

He emphasized again: "Safety must be guaranteed."

"yes!"

Tianhaixia parking lot.

Wen Xia Xia and the medical soldier performed surgery on injured team members including Li Fan in the booth in the parking lot, while the rest of the team leaned against the temporary shed built by Zhou Yu to replenish supplies and rest.

Among the group of people, seven-year-old Xiya was very conspicuous. She was doing physical training. Because she had been training for a while, her little face, which had gained some flesh, was sweaty.

Xiya seized every moment to carry out physical training. She clearly felt that the training was useful in the morning. When she raised her hand to create flames, the previous sluggishness was much less. She and brother Zhou Yu and sister Song Yan also cooperated very well with the perfume beads.

At least she helped in this battle, and she became more determined to train harder. She wanted to become as powerful as her mother.

Seeing that a child like her was so hardworking, Peter also spontaneously followed her to train.

Seeing that the two people around Lin Bai, one big and one small, were like this, the others seemed to feel a sense of crisis and couldn't help but start moving as well.

In the end times, it’s always a good idea to keep healthy.

Along with the panting of those people exercising, a tinkling sound was heard in the shed. It was Lin Bai hammering the metal block in her hand. Others didn't know what she was doing, and no one dared to ask her what she was doing.

Lu Jia still looked at Lin Bai with some resentment because Lin Bai shot Lou Tiannan.

Song Yan saw it and raised his elbow to nudge Lu Jia. Lu Jia knew that he shouldn't be upset with the crowd, but he just couldn't bear it.

A medical soldier ran out of the guard booth that served as an operating room and reported to Zhu Liang, "Captain Lou, Xia Xia said that there was a piece of iron less than three millimeters away from Li Fan's femoral artery. The conditions here are too simple. There is no anesthetic, and not many disinfectants or hemostatic drugs. If we pull it out forcibly, the probability of secondary trauma will be over 80%, not to mention the necessary debridement and other steps. If there is really heavy bleeding..." His life will be in danger.

The medic didn't say anything next, but everyone else knew what it was.

Lou Tiannan heard it from a distance. His fever hadn't subsided yet, so he suppressed his discomfort and asked, "What did Xia Xia say?"

As Lou Tiannan approached, the others felt as if a fireball was approaching, but no one cared about that at the moment. "Xia Xia said that it would take at most ten minutes to find a sterile room with all the necessary medicines and suitable for surgery, otherwise she wouldn't be sure."

Everyone fell silent. Wen Xia Xia was the best medic in their team, and if she wasn't sure, the situation must be critical.

Before the end of the world, this requirement was not even considered a requirement, and you could always ask the hospital to provide it.

But now is the end of the world. Hospitals, shopping malls, schools and other places are where zombies gather in high density. Most of the second and third level zombies also come from those places. Especially the hospitals where the zombie tide first broke out are the most dangerous.

It is impossible to clean up the venue in ten minutes and take Wen Xia Xia, Li Fan and others into the operating room.

Lu Jia's eyes reddened and he said, "Captain Lou, I'll go find him!" Li Fan entered Team 3 at the same time as him. They usually had a good relationship. This time he was injured to cover him in using his supernatural powers.

Lou Tiannan was looking down at the map when he heard Lu Jia talking, without even looking up: "There are five 24-hour pharmacy machines nearby. There must be medicine in the pharmacy warehouse. Zhu Liang and I will go find it."

"Is it too late?!" Song Yan couldn't help but worry. She was even more worried about whether Lou Tiannan's current physical condition could hold on. He had just fought a fierce battle in the morning and had just cleaned the parking lot. He couldn't see it himself, but she noticed that there was redness around his pupils.

"Try your best first—"

"I can perform surgery on him." Someone suddenly interrupted.

Several people who were making plans looked at the person who was speaking at the same time.

It’s Lin Bai.

"You?" Lu Jia didn't quite believe it.

Lin Bai took out a few potions from his pocket and shook them in front of the people, and their faces changed immediately.

Several of them had basic medical knowledge and recognized that she had bupivacaine, ethylphenidate and other analgesic and hemostatic drugs in her hands.

Zhou Yu was delighted and said to Lin Bai: "Then go in quickly——"

"Of course I have conditions." Lin Bai stuffed the potion back into his pocket.

"What conditions?" Lou Tiannan looked at her.

"I want one level three zombie crystal core." Lin Bai thought of the conversation she heard. Since Lou Tiannan was willing to fight Elena for a hostage he didn't know, would he give up the level three crystal core for the lives of his teammates?

"That won't do!" Song Yan refused subconsciously. She knew very well the importance of the third-level crystal cores, which were also an important part of their mission.

When Lin Bai's request was made, the first reaction of several people was that it was not possible, but their comrades were still in danger.

"It's up to you. I'll give you a level three crystal core in exchange for your teammate's life. It depends on whether you're willing or not." Lin Bai didn't care.

"Can you guarantee that he will survive?" Lou Tiannan asked her.

"Sure." When Wen Xia Xia was treating Li Fan's wound in the car, Lin Bai saw it from the side. The position of the iron piece was indeed very dangerous. She was not 100% sure about saving his leg, but keeping him alive was not a problem for her.

"How can you guarantee that what you said is true?!" Lu Jia's tone was very annoyed. He was extremely dissatisfied with Lin Bai at the moment. He shot at Team Lou and clearly had medicine that could save people, but he used it as a threat to get the third-level zombie crystal core in their hands.

Lin Bai did not answer Lu Jia's words. She nodded and looked at Lou Tiannan, waiting for his answer.

"Okay." Lou Tiannan said in a deep voice.

"Captain Lou!" Lu Jia was anxious.

Lou Tiannan stared at Lin Bai and said, "But Wen Xiaxia has to be inside."

Lin Bai felt that she had found Lou Tiannan's weakness. She said, "Okay, give me the crystal core first."

"I'll give it to you after Li Fan survives."

"No, not now." Lin Bai did not give in at all, his eyes firm.

In just three seconds, Lou Tiannan took a step back: "Song Yan."

Song Yan looked at Lou Tiannan with a questioning look, but got an affirmative nod from Lou Tiannan.

She reached into the bag she was carrying and held it out in front of Lindbergh in the form of a fist.

Lin Bai stretched out his hand.

Open and close.

There was a third-level zombie crystal core in her palm.

She put her hands in her pockets and remained standing.

"Why aren't you going in?" Lu Jia asked.

"Take a break." Lin Bai said.

"You!" Lu Jia felt that this woman was going too far!

Lou Tiannan gave him a look and Zhou Yu pulled the man away.

The other survivors were far away and could only see them talking from afar. Lu Jia's face looked unhappy and no one knew what they were talking about.

Not long after, Wen Xiaxia also came out. Zhu Liang briefly explained the whole thing to her. Although Wen Xiaxia also had doubts about Lin Bai, the order had been given, so she had no choice but to nod in response.

Seeing the ten minutes of best treatment time passing by bit by bit, everyone looked anxious.

Just when Lou Tiannan couldn't help but ask, Lin Bai, who had absorbed energy for three minutes, walked into the booth with his hands in his pockets.

Wen Xia Xia hurried in.

Li Fan was the only one left in the booth. He was in very bad condition, and his face was extremely pale due to his endurance.

Lin Bai handed the medicine to Wen Xia Xia and asked her to prepare it for injection.

After disinfecting her hands, she went to look at the iron plate on Li Fan's femoral artery. The area around the iron plate had already been disinfected by Wen Xia Xia, and all that was left was to pull it out.

Wen Xia Xia held the syringe and injected the anesthetic.

When the anesthetic started to take effect, she saw Lin Bai holding a pair of tweezers to pinch the iron piece on Li Fan's leg. Before she could say anything, the iron piece was pulled out by Lin Bai.

In Wen Xia Xia's opinion, her hands were surprisingly steady.

Even though it was only three millimeters away from the femoral artery, there were no symptoms of heavy bleeding after Lin Bai pulled out the iron piece seemingly casually, indicating that the secondary trauma was very small, or perhaps non-existent.

This is the best possible scenario!

After removing the iron piece, Lin Bai used a scalpel to cut away the muscle tissue around Li Fan's injured thigh.

The bloody mess made people's scalp tingle. Even though the necrotic tissue was cut off so "roughly", the femoral artery was accurately avoided, and this was done in such a simple operating environment.

Wen Xia Xia was surprised by Lin Bai's superb skills, and did not dare to stop passing the ball to her subordinates for a moment.

"gauze."

"Saline solution."

"Tooth forceps."

"Suture needle, suture thread"

"Scissors."

With a slight click, the sutures on Li Fan's wound were cut off.

Wen Xia Xia breathed a sigh of relief, and the next step was the maintenance and recovery work after the suture.

It took no more than half an hour from the time Lin Bai entered the booth to the completion of the suture.

The two walked out and saw a lot of people standing at the door, all waiting for the results. Seeing them come out so quickly, they looked very serious.

Wen Xia Xia nodded directly to everyone, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Lin Bai fished out a zombie crystal core and was in a good mood. When she was about to speak, her mind was suddenly hit by a heavy hammer and her vision went black.

"Lin Bai?!" Several people were shocked and someone subconsciously came forward to help.

Lin Bai almost lost her vision at that moment. She was alert and sensitive and pushed away the person who wanted to approach her with a palm, but because she couldn't stand steadily, she fell into an extremely hot embrace.
