Online: I Can See Health Bars Chapter 1531 - 682: The Name of the Divine Doctor
Previously on Online: I Can See Health Bars...
Upon hearing that she was not yet cured, Kong Feiyun hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Divine Doctor, Divine Doctor, save me!"
As her words fell, she found that the Divine Doctor was not so approachable.
When his gaze swept over her, it was full of indifference.
It was the kind of cold stare that showed disregard for life, as if she dared to say one more word, the small life she just regained would be taken back by the Divine Doctor.
With a thump in her heart, Kong Feiyun hurriedly kowtowed again, burying her head in the ground, not daring to make a sound.
Being forcefully pulled back from the brink of death, she shouldn’t have hoped for too much.
Yet, with old people above and young ones below, and the chance for salvation so near, how could she restrain herself from trying?
Fortunately, at this moment, the Divine Doctor spoke up.
"I still have to observe and see the condition of other poisoned individuals. If they all show similar symptoms, I’ll start conducting in-depth research on how to completely detoxify them."
Although Kong Feiyun didn’t quite understand, she hurriedly kowtowed in gratitude.
"Thank you, Divine Doctor, for the life-saving grace! Thank you, Divine Doctor, for the life-saving grace!"
Since her illness, she had been waiting for death among the sickly crowd, and the condition of other patients was not very different from hers.
They all drank poisoned water, suffered from severe poisoning, leading to their symptoms.
So when the second patient was brought over, Ding Hui quickly began his operation.
He first gave a Medicine Pill, then pricked the patient with a few needles.
This time, the patient lay with clothes open, exposing his belly.
Fang Yu immediately noticed the outlines of some worms wriggling on the patient’s abdominal skin, seemingly attracted by something as they slowly crawled towards the heart.
"Acute heart shrinkage."
Ding Hui took a silver needle and kept inserting it into the patient, as though guiding the worms along the blood vessels to the heart.
"The poison now has two cases, and both resulted in acute heart shrinkage leading to death. Their hearts are now smaller than those of normal people. Of course, the poisoning effects also include muscle shrinkage and other organ failures. But the heart shrinkage is the result that first causes death after the poison’s progression. That is, before any other complications from the poisoning arise, the heart shrinkage alone is enough to kill them. Therefore, I need to examine the bodies of other patients who have died from this poison to make further judgments."
"From the current situation, this poison spreads most efficiently through the liquid within the body, but should not be limited to blood transmission alone, as there are signs of some bone brittleness... Anyway, the initial judgment suggests it might be a bloodborne virus, requiring further verification."
"For now, I am making the patient’s heart temporarily enlarge, using larvae to momentarily replace the heart’s blood-making and some of its functions, to keep the patient alive and hold the situation, and then proceed with targeted detoxification treatment."
Ding Hui’s words were naturally not intended for the patient, but for Fang Yu.
To be honest, Fang Yu only understood seventy to eighty percent, but he got that Ding Hui’s methods were emergency measures, and it was impossible to apply them to everyone, requiring the development of a specific antidote to truly solve the problem.
"I’ll go talk to Master Hong and the others, to bring you a few unprocessed bodies of those who died from poisoning."
Fang Yu wisely suggested.
Ding Hui immediately sent him a look of appreciation.
"Thank you, my dear, for going."
Song Zhenrong had been waiting on the side, and other townsfolk were even further away from these poison-stricken former residents of Da Liang City, avoiding them from afar.
Even though it was said that this poison was not contagious, most people still preferred not to get close.
And because the poison was not contagious, many among them leaned towards staying in Da Liang City.
After all, those already poisoned are poisoned, and they won’t affect those who are not, as long as newcomers like them avoid drinking contaminated water and being sabotaged, the poison will have nothing to do with them.
Just as Ding Hui was about to stabilize the condition of the second patient, among the several patients brought over, a skeletal one suddenly began convulsing all over, foaming at the mouth, looking like he was about to die at any moment.
"Divine Doctor Ding! Quickly save him!" Song Zhenrong urged.
Though not his own people, watching others die before his eyes, Song Zhenrong couldn’t bear it.
However, Ding Hui merely glanced at him, then withdrew his gaze, remaining indifferent as he continued treating the second patient.
"Divine Doctor Ding!"
Song Zhenrong anxiously knelt down: "Human life is paramount, saving one life..."
"Bring him over."
Interrupting Song Zhenrong’s words, his face broke into a smile as he hurriedly but carefully carried the person over and gently put him down.
"Divine Doctor Ding, his Qi is failing..."
Song Zhenrong wanted to say more, but upon seeing Ding Hui’s indifferent expression, he promptly fell silent.
In the team, aside from Fang Yu who held the team together, only Ding Hui was absolutely untouchable.
In fact, Ding Hui was the most untouchable person in the team.
Song Zhenrong was tormented by his conscience and couldn’t sit idly by, so he pleaded.
Otherwise, with his sister Song Xi’s life in Ding Hui’s hands, how could he dare to be presumptuous or talkative?
Fortunately, Ding Hui’s medical skill was truly extraordinary, employing dual methods without delaying the healing process at all.
