With just one glance, relying on the super-strong perception granted by the system and the faint connection left behind, he roughly determined the problem—feeding water had aggravated the lung infection, and coupled with the excessive blood loss and secondary damage caused by forced movement, the situation was indeed several times more dangerous than before!
"Comrade Xu Kuo! You've arrived!" The attending physician's expression was complicated upon seeing Xu Kuo, but he still quickly stepped forward to greet him. A nurse beside him immediately handed him a stethoscope and some monitoring equipment. "This is..."
Before the doctor could finish speaking, Xu Kuo waved his hand, pushed away the instruments, and said indifferently, "No need."
The doctor was taken aback, and his face immediately showed displeasure.
"Comrade Xu Kuo! What do you mean by this? When you were rescuing Captain Sheng before, didn't you also use observation equipment? Now that the situation is critical, why aren't you using it? Could it be... that you intend to diagnose the condition with the naked eye alone?!"
This young man, does he think he's so great just because he's got some skills?
This is a matter of life and death!
Upon hearing this, Xu Kuo glanced at the doctor.
"Who told you I used any equipment?"
He paused, his voice carrying an air of arrogance that seemed to look down on everything, "From beginning to end, I only used my eyes."
"What?!"
The doctor stared incredulously, his face turning ashen.
"Nonsense! Utter nonsense! Comrade Xu Kuo, I don't care what methods you used to temporarily stabilize Captain Sheng's injuries, but now is not the time for you to show off! Lives are at stake! Your attitude is disrespectful to Captain Sheng's life!"
"Respect?" Xu Kuo sneered and retorted without any politeness.
"If you so-called professional doctors were even useful, would Captain Sheng have ended up like this? You couldn't even understand the patient's condition before giving blind instructions, causing the illness to worsen, and now you still have the nerve to talk to me about respect?"
His gaze swept over the doctor's face, contorted with rage, and his words were utterly sarcastic: "A piece of trash like you, dares to question me? I don't need those junk pieces of metal to treat patients!"
The attending physician's face turned pale and then red, and he felt a surge of anger and resentment in his chest as Xu Kuo relentlessly mocked him!
Xu Kuo was utterly arrogant to the extreme!
He has practiced medicine for many years and has never suffered such humiliation.
Especially since it was some random kid who appeared out of nowhere!
"Great! Excellent!"
The doctor was so angry he was trembling. He shoved the stethoscope and instruments back into the nurse's arms, took a step back, crossed his arms, and wore a cold, mocking expression.
“I’ll stand here and watch! I want to see how you, with just your naked eyes and a few broken needles, pull a critically ill patient with a lung infection and excessive blood loss back from the brink of death! If you really have such extraordinary abilities, I’ll take off my white coat and give it to you!”
He wanted to see how long Xu Kuo could keep up his act!
If Captain Sheng really can't handle it later, let's see how Xu Kuo will handle it!
By then, not only Zhou Changke, but even Yuan Guoyao wouldn't be able to protect Xu Kuo.
The air outside the emergency room seemed to freeze, and everyone's eyes were focused on Xu Kuo, so tense that they forgot to breathe.
Mrs. Sheng clasped her hands together, her lips moving silently as she prayed for a miracle.
Yuan Guoyao and Zhou Changke were also on tenterhooks, their palms sweating profusely.
Xu Kuo...you absolutely have to succeed!
However, Xu Kuo remained oblivious to his surroundings, his expression focused and calm.
With a slight flick of his wrist, a row of silver needles, as fine as cow hair and gleaming with a chilling luster, appeared between his fingers.
The next moment, everyone felt a blur before their eyes!
His fingers were so nimble they seemed inhuman. He picked up the silver needles and, without the slightest hesitation, swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly pierced several major acupoints on Sheng Xu's chest, abdomen, head, and neck!
That speed was absolutely dazzling!
It's less like administering acupuncture and more like performing an incredibly precise work of art!
"stop!!!"
Upon seeing this, the attending physician's eyes widened in horror, and he screamed in terror!
He rushed forward, trying to stop him.
"Are you crazy?! How could you insert needles into those acupoints like that?! The depth and order are all wrong! Do you want to kill him?! Stop right now!"
Nonsense!
This is utter nonsense!
This is not acupuncture, it's blatant disregard for human life!
You see, every acupuncturist he'd ever seen was incredibly careful. When did it become so fast? They inserted the needles without even a proper look.
Before the doctor could even get close to the bed, several police officers nearby, who were already prepared, quickly grabbed him and held him firmly in place!
"Doctor! Calm down!" a police officer shouted in a deep voice.
"What are you doing?! Didn't you see Comrade Xu Kuo saving people?!"
Another officer glared at him. They now held Xu Kuo in both awe and hope, and would not allow anyone to disturb him!
"Saving someone?! He's killing someone!"
The doctor was restrained by two strong police officers, struggling and roaring angrily.
"What do you know?! Acupuncture is a profound and complex art. The acupoints, meridians, depth, and manipulations are all crucial; even the slightest error can lead to disastrous results! He's just randomly inserting needles! At this rate, even a miracle won't save Captain Sheng! You're aiding and abetting evil!"
Yuan Guoyao's heart clenched suddenly!
The doctor's words didn't seem fake. Could it be... could it be that Xu Kuo really...?
He looked at Xu Kuo, whose expression remained calm as he continued to work with his silver needles, as if he hadn't heard a sound.
Yuan Guoyao clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his forehead, his mind in turmoil!
Whom should we believe?!
On one side was an experienced doctor, and on the other was Xu Kuo, who had created a miracle.
"Let him try!" Yuan Guoyao practically spat out these three words through gritted teeth, his voice hoarse, carrying a do-or-die determination. "I believe in Comrade Xu Kuo!"
"Director Yuan! You...you're out of your mind!" the doctor cried out in despair. "If you stabilize him now, there's still a sliver of hope! Once he's finished, it'll be truly over! You'll regret it!!"
Amid the doctor's heart-wrenching pleas for dissuasion, Sheng Xu, lying on his hospital bed, suddenly let out a series of violent coughs without warning!
"Cough...cough cough cough..."
Although the voice was weak, it resounded loudly in everyone's ears!
Then, under the shocked, ecstatic, and incredulous gazes of everyone, Sheng Xu's tightly closed eyes slowly... opened!
His eyes were initially somewhat blank, as if he didn't understand where he was, but they were definitely clear-headed!
"He's awake! He's awake! Old Sheng is awake!!" Sheng's wife was the first to react, covering her mouth and crying tears of joy, almost collapsing to the ground!
"The captain's awake!!" Several officers were so excited they had tears in their eyes, patting each other on the shoulder and suppressing their cheers!
Yuan Guoyao and Zhou Changke also breathed a long sigh of relief, their faces showing smiles of relief!
Only the attending physician stood frozen in place, his expression frozen, filled with endless astonishment and absurdity!
