Chapter 94 Fungal Skeleton Frenzy 55 "Why?"
It was an ordinary tone, an ordinary command, but when it came from Nanmen Jue's mouth, it seemed to stand firm in everyone's hearts, giving them a direction they could rely on in an instant.
Ji Chengying was the first to respond. She was the one who had dealt with Mo Gui earlier. She moved swiftly, grabbing the equipment and rushing over to take Mo Gui's blood pressure. The others also reacted, and except for Wei Chongru, who was unable to move, everyone else gradually moved closer.
Nanmen Jue didn't look up. She saw Ji Chengying's very skilled movements and raised her eyebrows in slight surprise. She always felt that this clear-headed college girl who had escaped danger was a newbie who was protected behind her and couldn't do anything when they last met. Now she has become a medic.
Judging from her actions, she must have done countless similar things during this period, without hesitation or wavering even when facing close teammates.
Mo Gui was already in a bad state when he was forcibly pushed down. He was able to rush over only because of his adrenaline. At this moment, he was spitting out blood, looking very miserable, which made everyone tense. Even Ji Chengying's face turned pale and her fingers trembled slightly.
“Brother Jue…”
Mo Gui was still trying to speak, but blood rushed to his throat, and his words became slurred. He just smiled as he looked in the direction where Nanmen Jue was.
Wei Chongru couldn't get over, so he craned his neck from a short distance away, straining to see what was happening. His voice was weak, but his emotions were strong: "The blood he vomited up, could it be from his brain? Mo Gui, please don't get even dumber!"
"You...you are the one..."
"Don't speak, can't you feel any pain?" Nanmen Jue said.
As soon as she spoke, Mo Gui really stopped moving, simply watching her grin foolishly as she vomited blood.
Everyone watched nervously when a calm, unfamiliar male voice interjected: "He has lost a lot of blood. Should we take him down? The facilities here are limited."
Nanmen Jue looked up and saw a refined but unfamiliar face. She knew that this must be Jiang Yansi. Seeing that a native could stay in the circle of reincarnators, she realized something and her eyes softened.
"There's no need for that; moving him now would be more dangerous."
Nanmen Jue bent down, bringing his nose close to the blood Mo Gui vomited, and smelled it. "A lot of blood, bright red, with a sour smell. The main bleeding point should be the stomach and intestines, right?"
Ji Chengying was stunned. She raised her face, which was covered in sweat, and asked, "Brother Jue, you, you're a doctor too?"
“He’s not a doctor yet, but he has some family traditions.” Nanmen Jue said, turning Mo Gui to lie on his side, reaching out to touch his abdomen, glancing at his blood pressure, and immediately frowning. “The medication isn’t working; he needs surgery immediately.”
Upon hearing this, everyone looked up.
They knew beforehand that Mo Gui's injuries were serious, but because he was a reincarnator and seemed to be in good spirits, they all thought he wasn't in mortal danger. Furthermore, because his physical abilities had evolved, they didn't dare let the doctors in this world examine him.
If something is discovered during the inspection and the main god deems it a violation, then I'll probably be killed on the spot.
Therefore, regardless of what Mo Gui or Wei Chongru said, no matter what Jiang Yansi said, everyone, including themselves, refused to let the doctor examine them. Only Ji Chengying did a simple examination, but she was still inexperienced and didn't realize that his condition was so serious.
If it weren't for his evolved physical condition as a reincarnator, Mo Gui would probably be dead by now.
Nanmen Jue seemed oblivious to their gazes, his expression calm. "Prepare an operating room."
Ji Chengying opened her mouth, but before she could express her concerns, Ying Yao's equally calm voice followed.
"I'll help you out."
Everyone fell silent, and Nanmen Jue looked up at him.
Ying Yao said, "I was your sister's assistant when she was saving people before."
A smile suddenly appeared on Nanmen Jue's usually calm and stern face. "Then you must be very skilled. My sister has very high standards for her assistants."
Ying Yao didn't say anything, but Nanmen Jue inexplicably felt that he was laughing.
Only then did the others realize that Nanmen Jue was going to perform the surgery on Mo Gui himself!
It was somewhat unexpected, but when you think about whose brother he is, it seems to make perfect sense.
Nanmen Jue glanced at the various expressions on the faces of the crowd and then looked at Ji Chengying, "You will be my second assistant."
Ji Chengying was taken aback, her anxious face showing a barely suppressed excitement as she nodded vigorously.
Nanmen Jue then looked at Guan Junren, who was the most suitable assistant among the people present.
Guan Junren looked down at his missing left arm and gave Nanmen Jue a bitter, apologetic smile.
Nanmen Jue shook his head, casting a comforting glance at him, a sudden sense of relief welling up inside him.
Fortunately, Guan Junren is a reincarnator; fortunately, he can repair and restore this arm; fortunately, he still has the opportunity to return to reality and continue being a doctor.
As long as you return alive, regrets will no longer be regrets.
...
Nanmen Jue led several people into the operating room.
She was indeed just a student with more background knowledge than others, but she was a very talented student. During the more than half a year of intensive training, she had intentionally practiced this aspect in order to have a better chance of survival. Her original plan was to have the surgery performed on herself without anesthesia, but she did not expect that the surgery would be performed on Mo Gui first.
As a reincarnator, despite the perilous situation, he was far more resilient than ordinary people. Nanmen Jue accurately located the bleeding point, and the surgery, which should have been a matter of life and death, only took a little over two hours. Then, Nanmen Jue personally stitched up Mo Gui's disemboweled body.
As soon as she came out of the operating room, everyone surrounded her. Looking into their expectant eyes, she simply nodded, "He'll be fine once he wakes up."
"Wow, that's amazing. This kind of surgery, whether it's successful or not, will take five to six hours." Guan Junren looked at her with a strange gaze, filled with shock, admiration, and a sense of certainty.
"Mo Gui's constitution is not bad, so stopping the bleeding is relatively easy," Nanmen Jue said casually.
Ji Chengying personally pushed Mo Gui into the observation area to continue observing. Nanmen Jue looked at the others and said, "Xiao Nuo brought back limited information, but I already had a general understanding of the situation when she came in."
At this point, the relaxed and cheerful atmosphere that had just emerged from learning that Mo Gui had escaped danger suddenly fell silent. The pressure of life and death returned, and everyone's expressions turned grim.
The only one unaffected was Ying Yao. He looked at Nanmen Jue and even had the composure to ask, "How did you get in?"
"Let's all go back to the conference room and talk," Jiang Yansi said. "Sit down and talk, I'll go prepare some food for you."
He left temporarily, and the only remaining native among them was Zhang Zhi. Having been with them for a long time, Zhang Zhi naturally knew that there were some things she shouldn't listen to, so she took the initiative to go to the room next to the conference room. There was only a wall between them, so no matter what happened on her side, Nanmen Jue and Ying Yao could hear it.
After everyone took their seats, Nanmen Jue suddenly posed the first question, catching everyone off guard.
Why are you still here?
The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment. Even Wei Chongru, who was unable to move, was placed next to the table. He was not visible on the tabletop; he lay silently on the ground.
Guan Junren said nervously, "We didn't follow Mr. Ying on purpose..."
"I've already told you, don't call me 'sir,' call me Ying Yao." Ying Yao suddenly spoke, his tone very calm, but the mechanical quality of his voice carried an unapproachable air.
Nanmen Jue also looked over. She called Ying Yao by his name directly, which surprised her.
Don't like being called "Mr."?
Guan Junren was taken aback, then immediately said, "Sorry, I forgot. We didn't intentionally follow Ying Yao and Zhang Zhi here, nor did we intentionally attract Cheng Xiuye's attention... We discovered that the number of advanced parasites had increased, causing some residential areas to fall, so we wanted to do our best to help them..."
"They were being chased by a zombie dog that was somewhere between B and A rank, and I saved them," Ying Yao continued, succinctly stating the reason for their encounter.
Guan Junren had an embarrassed expression on his face. "...Yes, we almost died in the mouth of a dog. Ying Yao saved us. He was worried about our safety, so he let us go with him."
Nanmen Jue remained silent.
Everyone was somewhat uneasy.
These people were too conspicuous, making them more likely to attract Cheng Xiuye's attention and thus invite his attack. Everyone thought that Nanmen Jue was angry about this, since everyone knew that her purpose in having Ying Yao bring Zhang Zhi here was for her safety, and she was even willing to use herself as bait for this.
But they messed things up.
"I'm sorry," Deng Erhuai said in a low voice, fidgeting. "At the time, we didn't realize that Cheng Xiuye was looking for Zhang Zhi, otherwise we would never have followed her here."
“You don’t need to blame them,” Ying Yao said. “It was my idea. This world is no longer a suitable place to live. If I hadn’t brought them, at least half of the people here would have died.”
The weaker members of the group lowered their heads in shame, feeling deeply distressed.
Nanmen Jue had only one goal, but it backfired. Before they saw her, they were fine, but now that they had seen her, they only felt that they had let her down.
Nanmen Jue remained silent until everyone had finished speaking. Then, he raised his eyes again, slowly looking at each person before parting his thin lips.
"I'm not asking why you came to Ningde Town, I'm asking why you haven't left yet?"
Everyone was stunned.
“I came in from the outside. Although the situation was dangerous, it wasn’t so bad that we couldn’t get out even if we risked our lives. Cheng Xiuye’s target wasn’t you. If you had used Zhang Zhi as bait, at least a few of you would have had a good chance of escaping, but none of you did.”
Nanmen Jue spoke softly, yet with great strength.
"Why?"
"And as mentioned before, there are high-level parasites rampaging, many residential areas have fallen, and many natives have died, but what does that have to do with you? You could have avoided the danger and found a safer place to hide until the time was up, but you went head-to-head with the high-level parasites, even though you yourselves might die."
"Why?"
"Why not escape? Why protect them? Why keep your promise to me, even if I might have died out there and never come back?"
Nanmen Jue pressed for details, his gaze intense, his questioning fueled by a glimmer of hope.
Everyone understood.
They looked at each other, and Wei Chongru, who was lying on the ground, suddenly laughed.
"Brother Nanmen, you already know the answers to these questions, right?"
