Alien Relic Hunter

Warrior? Sacrifice? What does this mean?

Leighton wanted to ask a few more questions, but the old man seemed to be really about to die. He suddenly strangled his throat with both hands with a look of pain on his face - his upper body stretched into a weird bow shape, and his whole body People began to tremble and twitch, their legs kicked continuously, and their feet rubbed back and forth on the ground.

Hello? What's wrong with you? Leighton was stunned and quickly turned to look at Ivan, Doctor, what's wrong with him? Is he really choking?

Let me take a look. Ivan quickly walked up to the old man, pinched both sides of the old man's cheeks with his hands, and forced him to open his mouth.

Pointing the searchlight on his helmet at the old man's throat, Ivan took just one glance and concluded: It's more serious than choking. It's a perforation of the esophagus.

What? Esophageal perforation?

His esophagus was already severely eroded. He ate too violently just now, which cracked the esophageal wall. The food inside leaked out, causing emphysema and compressing the trachea. He paused and continued. Said, Generally speaking, patients with esophageal perforation will most likely die of bleeding or infection... But if his condition is not treated, it is estimated that he will die of suffocation in a short time...

Doctor, please stop talking so long. We are not treating people here! Layton said quickly, I just want to ask you something, can you save me?

It can be saved, but it requires surgery. Ivan nodded. I have to open his throat from the outside and remove the foreign body. If an abscess forms outside the esophagus, a thoracotomy is required for mediastinal drainage.

Can this operation be performed here? Layton couldn't help but froze when he heard that an operation was going to be performed.

The risk of infection and bleeding is very high, but if we don't do this, he will definitely die. Ivan said, having already taken out the medical kit he carried with him, and took out a hole towel and a bottle of alcohol cotton balls.

Isn't it? Are you really planning to do a thoracotomy here? Leighton stepped aside, but there was still a look of surprise on his face.

Thoracotomy is only required if an abscess forms. If it is just a foreign body squeezing, the surgical incision will not exceed three centimeters. Just pay attention to disinfection. Ivan said as he took off his thick and solid gauntlets and replaced them. A pair of surgical rubber gloves - For surgeries that require precise operations, the feedback from the touch of your hands is very important, and this cannot be replaced by any flexible machine.

Even in this era where precision machinery and high-intelligence AI are very popular, the vast majority of surgical operations are performed by doctors' hands, and operations performed by machines only account for less than 2%. Ratio of ten.

Ivan took out an anesthetic needle, flicked the wall of the syringe with his fingernail, then inserted the needle into the old man's neck cortex, and slowly pushed the plunger.

There is no ventilator or supporting life support equipment, so general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia cannot be performed, and the operation can only be performed under local anesthesia.

With the injection of medicine, the old man's convulsions and shaking symptoms were slightly relieved, but he was still in a state of respiratory distress, and his complexion gradually began to turn from flushing to purple.

Ivan knew that there was not much time left for him - he picked up the alcohol cotton ball with tweezers, quickly wiped it on the old man's neck several times, and then spread the hole towel on it.

B-but... Leiton, who was watching from the side, opened his mouth, but stopped talking.

As a doctor, I didn't do anything to save him. What's more, he is just a patient, not our enemy. Ivan said without looking back, My hands may be stained later. Blood and secretions, I need you to hand me something, the utensil box is over here, remember to wash your hands with disinfectant alcohol when you take it.

Okay. Layton hesitated for half a second, then nodded.

But just when Ivan completed a series of pre-operative preparations and had already held the scalpel equipped with a No. 10 blade in his hand, several locals wearing tattered cloaks suddenly appeared in front of them. .

We are going to take him away, the leader said.

Ivan raised his head and looked at them.

These people wore cloaks made of tarpaulin, and their faces were hidden behind masks polished from human facial bones. Although their bodies were tightly wrapped in clothing with a texture similar to protective clothing, the smell of decay But the stench still floated into Ivan's nasal cavity through the filter of the helmet. At the same time, his exposed hands could also feel a slight sting - these people were all seriously ill patients with radiation sickness. Even more serious than the old man in front of me.

From a doctor's perspective, these were a group of people who were about to die, but for some reason, they did not show any signs of weakness, but instead made Ivan feel a little threatened.

You can't do this. If there is no operation, this person will die soon. Ivan refused, Even if you want to take him away, at least wait until I finish the operation!

His life stems from the gift of the great god, and his death will also return to the embrace of the great god. This is not an end, but a liberation. He will become a part of the great god and exist in the world forever. The leader continued.

He was holding a steel pipe as tall as a person in his hand. The steel pipe was covered with rusty barbed wires, and the part he was holding was no exception. The spikes pierced directly into his palm, but he didn't notice it.

If you want to hinder us, you will be punished. His tone suddenly became serious, You have no right to interfere in things here, outsiders!

Fuck you! Layton couldn't help but curse the curse words that hounds often talk about. He grabbed the handle of the gun hanging on his waist, took a step forward, and blocked Ivan and Ivan. In front of the old man.

Forget it. Just when the two sides were at war with each other, Ivan pulled Layton's arm from behind, Forget it, Layton, don't conflict with them.

...Damn it. Leighton looked at the men in cloaks, then at the dying old man lying on the side, and finally chose to give in.

[P.S. Thank you Bai Lu, Cang Yue, and Huanxi Koi for the 500 starting coins, and thank you for the 100 starting coins for the story that befell your life. 】

[P.P.S I finally saw the end of EVA today. I watched the two-and-a-half-hour plot over and over again for more than six hours. The final ending still made me breathe a sigh of relief. The ruffian finally became a human being. I won’t give you the details. Spoilers aside, it is definitely not as bad as previously reported. Although the ending is completely different from the TV version, both the quality and plot are worthy of this IP.

I remember seeing EVA on TV when I was a kid. After more than 20 years, this part of EVA’s youth has finally come to an end.

It turns out that tears will dry up. When they dry up, you will become an adult...

Now I am starting to worry about the ending of this book. The previous book Code of Survival in the Wasteland was actually unfinished due to some force majeure factors. At least 80% of the plot in the second half was deleted, and the ending was the same as the one in the wasteland. The beginning was completely different... As for what force majeure factors are, you should all know... I hope this book will not encounter such a thing. 】
