Chapter 493 Take Action! Salvation!
The people here are all big shots. Gu Yin only knew the location of the blood-devouring worm in the heart because of a reminder on the message board, but these big shots found it themselves, they just haven't experimented with it yet.
Gu Yin was the only one on site who had conducted the experiment, so the old leader asked Gu Yin to recount the situation at that time.
After Gu Yin finished speaking, the old leader made a phone call, and a few more people came in shortly afterward.
Through the introduction, Gu Yin learned that the elderly man leading the group was actually a national-level traditional Chinese medicine doctor in China, specializing in acupuncture. Old Cheng was the one who had been receiving treatment from him.
The old leader handed Gu Yin's report to him: "Old Yao is here, please take a look at this."
The old doctor took it and slowly began to read it.
After reading it, he frowned and said, "What are your thoughts? Tell me."
"We plan to use Comrade Zhou's plan, but we need your assistance. Are you confident that you can prevent Blue Flame from feeling the pain in her heart? Are you confident that you can prevent other blood-devouring worms from rushing towards the heart area? The nutrient solution has a huge attraction to the blood-devouring worms. The version that Comrade Zhou made is the original version without any reduction. We are worried that once we open an opening near Blue Flame's heart to lure out the mother worm, the other blood-devouring worms will be attracted and come towards the heart instead."
The old doctor shook his head: "I can only do one thing. You know, wherever there is blood, there are those worms. I have to get rid of the worms around the heart first, and then use acupuncture to isolate the heart. This is fighting against living creatures. I have no other intention to make Lan Yan feel no pain. Why don't you give him anesthesia? If a person faints, he won't feel pain for long."
Old Cheng shook his head: "It's no use. When we first came back, we tried all kinds of painkillers, but none of them worked. We thought that since we couldn't relieve the pain, we should make him faint or give him anesthesia to make him unconscious, but none of that worked. Once we used the medication, those insects would become even more frenzied! Lan Yan was woken up by the pain!"
"I want to give it a try. I feel like those bugs are getting out of control, and I can sense that they're multiplying more and more. The nutrient solution not only keeps them afloat but also nourishes them! I feel like time is running out. If I don't control them soon, they'll mutate! I'd rather die in pain than be eaten by these bugs!"
A weak, hoarse voice came from the roof. Gu Yin looked up and saw a camera in the corner of the roof and a small speaker next to it.
That was Lan Yan's voice! Clearly, he had been listening to the conversation inside the room the whole time.
The people in the room fell silent.
Finally, the old leader spoke up: "Old Yao, if, if it comes to that, please give Comrade Lan Yan a quick death!"
Gu Yin's eyes stung with tears.
Yao Lao Shen nodded: "I will do my best to save his life! We need to discuss and analyze the specific plan carefully."
Gu Yin didn't leave either, and the discussion continued until midnight. The conference room door was pushed open, and a soldier said anxiously, "Report! Comrade Lan Yan has started vomiting blood! He's vomiting small pieces of flesh from his lungs! His blood is full of worms!"
Everyone got up and went to the isolation room.
As the old leader walked, he calmly said, "Prepare for the surgery! Get everything ready as soon as possible. Comrade Zhou, you've done experiments before, so go with them to check on things to make sure they don't forget anything!"
Gu Yin nodded upon hearing this and quickly went to make preparations with the others.
When Gu Yin saw Lan Yan again, she was in an empty room. Opposite the room was a transparent glass wall, and the room on the other side of the glass was the isolation room where Lan Yan was.
Gu Yin, Old Cheng, and the old leader were all standing guard in front of the glass of the empty room.
Inside the isolation room, all the doctors were wearing protective suits and preparing for surgery.
Gu Yin saw from the glass that Lan Yan had put on an oxygen mask, and her complexion was much worse than during the day. The blood vessels bulged in her skin, and the things inside were still wriggling rapidly, much faster than during the day. Clearly, the nutrient solution was both medicine and poison that was nourishing them.
The other person seemed to have seen her too, blinking with a smile. Gu Yin's eyes reddened; he was nothing like the arrogant person he was in the army!
Gu Yin raised her fist again: "Go for it!"
Lan Yan blinked, then stared quietly at the ceiling. He had walked the line between life and death countless times, and he didn't know if the King of Hell would spare him again this time! He was still young, and there were still many tasks to complete. Gu Yin hadn't even fulfilled her wish yet. Although he had long since become indifferent to life and death, he was truly unwilling to give up this time.
After completing his mission in Africa, he was originally going to go straight back to China, but his superiors said that a small team had lost contact in Southeast Asia and that he should go there instead.
As soon as he entered the neighboring country, he rescued an old lady who was drowning. After returning to the hotel, he inexplicably started to feel cold, feverish, and in pain all over his body. If it weren't for his strong willpower, he would have sent out his location immediately, or he would be a pile of dust by now!
If he died on the battlefield, he wouldn't have any resentment or complaints, but to die at the hands of this kind of thing, he would truly be unwilling!
The old apothecary placed a ginseng slice into Lan Yan's mouth and said through the protective shield, "Stay awake. Even if you are in agony, do not move. If you move, the acupuncture will be displaced, and even a great immortal cannot save you."
Blue Flame nodded.
Gu Yin has many spiritual herbs in her space, but none of them can be used on Lan Yan. It's not that Gu Yin is being overly cautious or selfish, but those things all contain spiritual energy. Giving them to Lan Yan would be like giving them to those insects! What if they can't save Lan Yan and instead detonate him?
This only attracts the insects. Gu Yin has already given them the extra-strength nutrient solution, which is placed next to the heart. The other diluted tablets are placed in various parts of Lan Yan's body to attract those small insects.
The laboratory is fully prepared, and the lights are on.
Gu Yin saw that the old apothecary had exposed his hand and was moving the golden needles around Lan Yan's chest.
With each needle strike, the end of the needle trembled slightly. Gu Yin looked at Lan Yan, whose expression remained unchanged.
Half an hour later, Lan Yan's chest was covered with countless swaying golden needles!
"Make your move!" the old apothecary commanded.
The doctors, who were on standby at all times, made incisions one by one on Lan Yan's limbs, torso, both sides of his neck, and around his abdomen, according to the time they had agreed upon. They then inserted tubes and placed nutrient solutions.
This plan was devised in case Lan Yan bled out and there was no time to provide emergency treatment; it was also based on Gu Yin's failed experience.
Long tubes snaked through the entire lab! Other doctors were watching over the tubes from all sides, and bright red blood flowed from them into a basin.
When the insects had crawled halfway there, Yao Lao opened a hole in Lan Yan's chest and inserted a tube. The tube, from the middle to the back, was filled with a larger dose of nutrient solution.
Five minutes later, Lan Yan froze!
Gu Yin saw him start to gasp for breath! The people nearby were already waiting, and seeing his reaction, they immediately unfastened the metal straps and restrained him!
"You must persevere! The pain means the bug is moving, just bear with it!"
Because of Blue Flame's heavy breathing, the insect stopped moving again, and the insects that had already crawled halfway up began to get restless.
"Increase the amount of nutrient solution! Use the concentrated version! The plasma sample is the best! Wherever the worms die off first, transfuse blood to that area!"
Gu Yin watched as Lan Yan's eyes repeatedly opened and closed, in a continuous cycle, while sweat poured from her forehead.
Apart from his intensely red and suppressed eyes, everything else, even his mouth, remained completely still! His breathing also became shallow! If it weren't for his eyes and the bulging veins on his forehead, you would have doubted whether he felt anything at all.
Less than half an hour later, Lan Yan fainted, only to be immediately jolted awake by the pain! Over and over again! The insects had only just emerged a tiny bit, and Gu Yin was almost out of breath watching them. The leaders around them could only pace back and forth anxiously, completely helpless!
Some people with easily irritated eyes even had tears in their eyes: "Hang in there, you must hold on!"
