Chapter 152: Electric Shock

Leaf Village front line, Platycodon Mountain Camp.

Inside the encampment exclusively belonging to the Yuzhibo family.

At this very moment, the entire medical tent was deathly quiet.

It was those who had previously seen Dong Shilang's actions, their voices murmuring in discussion.

By this time, they had completely vanished!

Almost all the onlookers silently watched the two people who were struggling, making no sound so as not to disturb them.

Even if what they were doing now was futile~

Hum!

With Dong Shilang's chakra surging, Uchiha Minghong's body arched up like a dead fish, then fell limp, repeating over and over.

And on the heart-rate monitor beside them, there was not the slightest feedback, causing the struggling Dong Shilang to inevitably doubt his own efforts.

If one were to speak of his past life, he had seen on TV or science programs what happens after a patient's heart stops beating.

Those medical workers in white coats would perform CPR or electric shocks and such on patients, often achieving good results.

But when he actually got hands-on, he was still somewhat flustered.

What voltage should be used?

What current?

How long is the optimal rescue time?

He didn't know any of these questions!

He didn't understand any of this professional knowledge at all!

He could only try again and again, increasing his chakra output after each failure, hoping for a miracle.

Hum!

With the seventh attempt, there was again no unexpected failure. Watching Uchiha Minghong still showing no change, and the heart-rate monitor still showing no fluctuation.

Uchiha Dong Shilang was already drenched in sweat.

At the same time, his hope grew ever smaller!

Although he had never received formal first-aid training, he knew that such emergency rescue becomes less effective as time passes.

Every minute that passes, the chance of successful rescue drops exponentially.

The chance of success also becomes ever slimmer!

【Things have come to this; all we can do is grit our teeth and press on!】

He glanced at Sister Meixiang beside him, still maintaining the 'Revival Technique' in her hands, not even noticing the sweat beginning to drip from her forehead, and Dong Shilang resumed his efforts, hoping for a miracle.

【All we can do is keep increasing the chakra output!】

After several efforts with no effect, Dong Shilang went all out.

Hum!

Hum!

Hum!

As the chakra increased, each time Dong Shilang unleashed the 'Electric Shock', he could clearly see clusters of blazing white arcs tinged with purple leaping across Uchiha Minghong's chest.

……

A faint burnt smell began to slowly permeate the entire treatment room.

Fortunately, this was not the burnt smell produced by continuous contact with proteins from high-voltage current, but rather the occasional scent from the jumping arcs touching the clothing on his body; otherwise Dong Shilang would have had to give up.

As time gradually passed!

One minute!

Three minutes!

Five minutes!

After repeated rescue attempts, still with no effect, Dong Shilang's heart began to sink...

Just as Dong Shilang had accepted reality and was preparing to give up...

With the electric arc in his hand fading away!

Beep!

A sound, as if coming from heaven, the long-awaited voice Dong Shilang had hoped for, entered his ears.

Hearing that heavenly sound, Dong Shilang jerked his head up, not even bothering to attend to the somewhat chaotic chakra in his hand.

He saw that the heart-rate monitor, which had shown no fluctuation since Dong Shilang entered, finally responded just as he was about to give up.

Beep! Beep! Beep!

Wave after wave of feedback showing the heart's contractions began to beat regularly.

"Sister Meixiang! We succeeded!"

"Quick~ Now is the critical time to seize the moment for rescue!"

Seeing Uchiha Meixiang still not recovered from the sudden surge of joy and sorrow, Dong Shilang had to speak up to remind her.

At this moment, his brother-in-law, though his heartbeat had returned, still had not recovered from his injuries.

If not treated immediately, he would likely die again before long.

If that moment truly arrives!

He had no confidence that, should the other's heart stop a second time, he could pull him back from the brink of death again.

"Yes! Yes! Yes!"

"Zao Ji, quickly prepare the surgical equipment, medicines, and blood bags!"

"Everyone, stop crowding here! Clear space to facilitate the surgery!"

Seeing hopeful Yuzhibo Meixiang, in a moment burst forth with unprecedented speed, quickly issuing orders, and also turned his head to say to Dong Shilang: "Dong Shilang! You stay here first!"

Actually, at this point, him staying here is already useless.

Now his hands, at this moment, are completely out of his control, and they will twitch from time to time.

Don't even mention forming seals to perform medical Ninjutsu; just standing aside without causing trouble for Sister Xiang is already rare.

A wave of intense pain would occasionally strike his nerves, making speaking somewhat difficult.

Just now, while rescuing Minghong, his older brother, he still felt nothing; but once he relaxed, the consequences of the electric shock he had just performed immediately showed up.

However, at this moment, Meixiang's emotions had just gone through great ups and downs, exactly when she needed someone to keep her company, so he didn't refuse, enduring the discomfort in his arms, and stayed in the treatment room.

When this tumultuous rescue finally ended, Dong Shilang, who had found a place to sit cross-legged and rest on his own, inevitably drifted into a light doze.

He was seriously injured this time; both of his hands suffered severe trauma because of this ad-hoc 'electric shock' technique he had come up with.

Not only did the prolonged contact with the electric current cause surface pain and numbness, but the meridians inside his arms were also riddled with holes.

Because it was a spur-of-the-moment idea, at the time he just had a hot-headed impulse and didn't think it through carefully; this effect—only the electric discharge Ninjutsu—was what he came up with.

Using it, however, brought him considerable trouble~

That is because his chakra control skill is extraordinary, and his tolerance is also decent; otherwise he wouldn't have been able to persist until the situation turned around.

He ended up collapsing on his own makeshift Ninjutsu!

【I never expected that, as a transmigrator, the first Ninjutsu I invented would actually be used to save people~】

Dong Shilang's mind thought~

Even after resting for a not‑short time, his hands' condition remained extremely poor at this moment.

Even moving a little is difficult, let alone trying to find ways to alleviate some of his pain and treat himself~
