The First Order - Chapter 839

Chapter 839: The most resolute doctor in history, Ren Xiaosu

Honestly, it was not that the doctors and nurses of the medical center liked spectating, but that after the arrival of the Trinity Institute group, the pressure on them was suddenly relieved. Everyone heard the Trinity Institute was really fast at treating their patients, and the operations were even performed in a basic operating room that was not sterile.

When the doctors heard about this, they found it a little incredulous. How could the surgeries be performed in an unsanitary environment? Wouldn’t the patients suffer from complications?

But when they went to check on the patients in the wards, many of the doctors realized the patients were actually recovering very well. Some of the patients were actually able to sit up in bed and chat with others after being operated on just a few hours before.

As there were too many patients, a lot of them could only lie on the mobile hospital beds in the hallways. When the hallways were filled, noisy chatter from the patients reverberated throughout the hospital.

A doctor stood in a hallway and lifted the gauze from a patient’s wound to inspect it. He was astonished to find the wound had already started to scab. He asked the nurse beside him in surprise, “When did this patient’s surgery end?”

“Four hours ago. He was hacked in the abdomen and spilled his guts. Everyone had already given up on him. But he looks absolutely fine now,” the nurse said helplessly.

Just as the nurse finished answering the doctor, the patient who was being examined suddenly said, “Um, do you have any playing cards here in the medical center? We’d like to play cards to kill time….”

The doctor was shocked. This guy had just spilled his guts four hours ago, yet he had the energy to play cards now?!

Was the Trinity Institute really that amazing? Not only did the patient not suffer from any postoperative complications, he even recovered that quickly?!

From the look of it, there was clearly something to that black medicine!

At this moment, someone brought in a wounded person from outside the medical center while exclaiming, “Doctor, please save my comrade!”

When the doctor in the hallway was just about to receive the patient, another voice rang out. Ren Xiaosu poked his head out of his OR. “We’ve just finished an operation here. Bring him to our room!”

The doctor standing in the hallway was speechless. After a long time, he finally asked, “Nurse, how many patients have they operated on already?”

“I don’t have any specific figures right now.” The nurse answered him, ” But I can tell you that half of the patients in the medical center were sent to them.”

“They’re amazing.” The doctor sighed.

A lot of medical staff had gathered outside the operating room Ren Xiaosu’s group was in. Even the director of the medical center came to have a look.

“Amazing, they’re so efficient!”

“What on earth is that black medicine that he applied?”

Ren Xiaosu explained with a smile while applying the black medicine on the patient, “It’s my family’s secret ancestral remedy. It’s really effective.”

Looking at Ren Xiaosu’s profile, the nurses muttered, “He looks so young! He’s already performing operations at such a tender age. Have you guys realized something? Elder Wang Jing is actually just supporting him in performing the surgeries….”

Any discerning person would realize that Wang Jing was only doing the stitching on the operating table while Meng Nan and Liang Ce were responsible for stopping the bleeding and using instruments to remove dirt and debris from the wounds. Ultimately, everyone’s actions were to support Ren Xiaosu’s application of the medicine.

In a hospital, it was not easy for a young doctor to have a chance to perform surgery on the operating table. Those who could do so were definitely the stars of the hospital.

When it was time to eat, the nurse in charge of delivering meals to Ren Xiaosu’s group was almost unable to squeeze through the crowd.

That nurse wanted to personally place the boxed lunch in Ren Xiaosu’s hands, but Yang Xiaojin intercepted it and glared at her.

The nurse muttered, “What are you doing?”

Yang Xiaojin took off her surgical mask and continued staring at her silently. “I’m his girlfriend.”

When the nurse saw Yang Xiaojin’s exquisite looks, she flinched and stepped back…

On the one hand, Yang Xiaojin had worn a cap to hide her identity in the past, and on the other hand, she did not like others judging her by her looks. But now, she realized her appearance was quite useful for convincing many potential competitors to back off.

Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaojin in surprise and nearly burst out laughing. “You’re acting like you’re a little protective of your food.”

Yang Xiaojin rolled her eyes at him. “Hurry up and stitch up the patient’s wounds.”

Beside them, Wang Jing chuckled, “You two really are a good match, y’know?”

Since arriving at the medical center, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin had spent over 20 hours working continuously. Meanwhile, Wang Jing could not bear it any longer and had already let Sima Gang and the others take over for him.

After all, Wang Jing was already getting on in age and was unable to handle such high-intensity surgeries. After careful consideration, he knew he could not afford to wear himself out right at the beginning with such long days ahead. So he came up with a plan to have the other operating surgeons work for eight hours each on three shifts to support Ren Xiaosu as they saved lives.

When Ren Xiaosu got tired, he would personally take over from him.

However, Ren Xiaosu remained standing for 24 hours straight at the operating table. The other doctors and assistants had already rotated through their shifts, but only Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin worked resiliently throughout.

When Sima Gang, Liang Ce, and the others got tired, they lay in the hallway and dozed off. They were so tired no one could wake them even if they called out to them. If it weren’t for the fact they had a heartbeat and were breathing, everyone would have thought that they had suffered a heart attack.

But even at this moment, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin were still performing surgery on the operating table.

Most of the doctors who claimed to have good stamina were shocked by this.

In the end, it was Wang Jing who came to dissuade them. “Don’t keep working. Health is the most precious asset we have when it comes to saving lives. I know you’re very eager to save people, but you can’t treat all the patients in the world without rest, right?”

Only then did Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaojin step away from the operating table. When Ren Xiaosu walked out of the medical center, he found the sunlight above him a little blinding.

But when the spring sunshine glittered down on him and permeated his dry clothes, he felt a sense of warmth enveloping his entire body. It was as though he were welcoming a new lease of life.

The voice from the palace in his mind suddenly said, “188 people have been saved from the verge of death. ‘Lifesaver’ achievement unlocked. Awarded two allocatable attribute points.”

Ren Xiaosu was overjoyed. He increased his Strength and Dexterity to 15.5 and 15.1 respectively. Not only did he gain nearly a 1,000 gratitude tokens in a single day, he even unlocked a new achievement.

Unknowingly, Ren Xiaosu’s physical fitness was already getting close to Old Xu’s original Strength and Dexterity values.

But just as he was about to go and get some rest, a group of wounded people were transported in again from outside the forward operating base. Ren Xiaosu did not head back into the medical center but started pondering something.

Next to him, Yang Xiaojin asked curiously, “What are you thinking about?”

Ren Xiaosu sighed and lamented, “There’s way too many patients. It’s almost like we can’t finish helping them all. There’s three medical centers in the vicinity, but even still, we can’t keep up with the rate of everyone getting injured.”

“It can’t be helped. That’s how war is.” Yang Xiaojin also sighed.

“This won’t do. If it goes on like this, all the doctors in the medical center will burn out from exhaustion.” Ren Xiaosu shook his head and said, “We should secretly head to the front lines!”

Yang Xiaojin was a little surprised. “Why do you want to go to the front lines? You’re a doctor now.”

“We can reduce the number of casualties on our side by killing the enemies. That’s also a way to save lives, right? Isn’t that what a doctor should do!” Ren Xiaosu’s expression was firm. He was using the most ruthless words with the kindest of intentions.

Yang Xiaojin thought about it carefully and realized it seemed to be the case. There was a constant stream of casualties being sent back here because the enemy at the front lines was too brutal. But if they could kill the enemies, wouldn’t they suffer no more casualties?

The most resolute doctor in history was born. He was the normal cardiac surgeon, Ren Xiaosu.
