Chapter 176
When he regained consciousness, Song Zhou felt like he was neither in the sky nor on the ground, swaying like a leaf floating in the wind.
He struggled to open his eyes and saw the shaking roof.
It turned out that the swaying feeling was due to the car's movement. He lay on the back seat with his head to the right, his legs draped under the seat, and a blanket covering him.
"Qiu Song, are you awake?" A voice seemed to come from somewhere through thick fog.
He couldn't remember who was calling him. His head felt numb, his body felt weak, and he couldn't move a finger.
I tried to shift my gaze and looked at the person in the driver's seat from the side and rear, but I could only see a corner of his felt hat and a mask.
Memories seeped out of his wooden brain like stagnant gum. He remembered what had happened.
Wang Hanshuang glanced back at him while driving, her eyes above the mask gently curved: "Auntie, how is your injection technique? It doesn't hurt, does it?"
inject?
Song Zhou was a little confused and shifted his gaze to look at his right hand resting on the edge of the seat.
There was an intravenous infusion needle on the back of his hand, fixed with tape. A thin tube extended through the gap in the middle of the front seat to an angle that he could not see.
"Don't be afraid, I'm just giving you an anesthetic."
Wang Hanshuang's tone was very relaxed, as if she was trying to comfort an anxious patient. "Don't worry, I've been a nurse in the gastroenterology department for thirty years, often assisting anesthesiologists. I'm very familiar with anesthesia procedures and medication safety. I will definitely not put you in any danger."
"The first thing I gave you was the inhaled anesthetic sevoflurane. The vaporizer was modified from an electric kettle. The car is airtight, and you'll lose consciousness after just a few moments of inhalation."
Wang Hanshuang freed one hand, tapped twice, and pointed at the "thermos cup" on the cup holder with her finger.
"Well, Auntie, you're pretty good at doing things, right? I've learned a lot of skills on my own.
"But these few puffs of sevoflurane won't last long. Besides, I have to get in the car and can't follow you.
"So I waited until you fell asleep, opened the window for ventilation, and then gave you an intravenous anesthesia. They used propofol, the same type of general anesthesia used during endoscopic surgery.
“This medicine is very effective. You have slept for more than half an hour.
"But I didn't give you too much at once. I plan to use intermittent boluses, giving you small amounts at regular intervals. This is safer. It will keep you in a moderately sedated state, allowing you to lose the ability to move, but without the risk of suffocation from a deep coma.
"Don't worry, I'm very experienced and know the correct dosage."
What on earth do you want to do? Song Zhou wanted to ask, but his mouth and tongue were numb and he couldn't speak. He could only let out a few slightly rapid breaths.
Wang Hanshuang said, "Are you asking where these anesthetics came from? They were all obtained illegally by Xing Yao. He has a huge stockpile of them. He has everything you need."
Song Zhou's pupils constricted slightly, and a flame shot through his chest. "Xing Yao? Aren't you a relative of the victim? Are you actually an accomplice?"
He wanted to jump up and question, but with all his strength, he could only turn his head slightly and twitch his fingers a few times. He felt like a sick cat, angry and anxious, his face flushed.
The angle of the rearview mirror in front was adjusted, and no matter how slight his movements were, they could not escape Wang Hanshuang's eyes.
"Oh, don't waste your energy, kid. I'm experienced. You can't move in this state... The snow is getting heavier. Fortunately, we set out early. If we were later, the snow would have compacted and made the road even more difficult to walk on."
"The highway will probably be closed today. But I wasn't planning on going up there anyway. There are too many cameras on the highway."
Where are you taking me? Song Zhou asked silently.
Wang Hanshuang seemed to hear his inner voice and said, "We are on our way back to Qi'an."
