Chapter 3361

The bear orderly swallows his saliva.

As the saying goes, Schiller says: "Out with the old, in with the new. What do you think?"

The bear orderly really wants to say "not good," but he tries hard to hold it back, retreats a few steps slightly, and then says: "What goods do you want? Maybe I can go help you ask Wood..."

"Can you see him?"

The bear orderly shakes his head and says: "The hospital is divided into two parts, one for treatment, one for reception; the treatment area and the reception area are not connected."

"Then where do your goods come from?"

"The hospital boss will order supplies, and I am responsible for delivering these supplies to each operating room. Some supplies are free, but some charge fees. Although I earned a bit, it's not much."

Schiller is skeptical about what he said, but after all, there is Wood as a pearl, so he doesn't haggle with the bear orderly.

"Do you go to other operating rooms to deliver goods?"

"Of course, I have to go to each operating room once every day."

"Who is in the other operating rooms?"

"I don't know." The bear orderly shakes his head and says, "They all wear masks like you, and you can't tell what race they are. However, the doctors in most operating rooms change very frequently. You are a pair that has persisted relatively long."

"Then we are not the ones who have persisted the longest?"

"No. There is a pair that came two days earlier than you and is still alive." The bear orderly thinks for a while and says, "The doctor who deals with me is not easy to talk to, and seems to always be able to see what I'm thinking. By the way, he also wants me to help him buy some other things."

Schiller's hand on the door pauses, and he says: "What did he ask you to buy?"

"Some herbs." The bear orderly says, "Dragon saliva flower, mandrake, nightshade, etc..."

Schiller quickly goes through the effects of these herbs in his mind; basically, they can all affect people's spirits, making people suffer from madness or hallucinations.

"Can you get these for me?" Schiller passes a piece of parchment through the door crack.

The bear orderly widens his eyes in surprise after getting the parchment and says: "They want herbs, which can still be said to be used to treat patients; why do you need so many tools? And clay and sand. Are you serious?"

"Of course. As long as you can get them, I'll take them all." Schiller says, "And the faster the better; if you can send them over today, I can give you a bit more tip."

The bear orderly is clearly moved, because the things Schiller wants are not very difficult to get; they are just some metal tools or building materials. These things are not valuable, just a bit troublesome to transport.

"Alright, I'll try my best. Some of them will be delivered at noon today." The bear orderly says, "The others should be delivered tomorrow morning; you have to give me half of the deposit. Pay the other half after all the goods are received..."

The two bargain again. There are some relatively valuable things in the box Schiller just handed over, which exchanged for a lot of money. Schiller pays the deposit, preparing to wait for the bear orderly to deliver the goods.

During the waiting process, he starts thinking about who the other pair of doctors the bear orderly mentioned is. Since it is certain that there might be other players in this game, he has to think in this direction. After all, players' survival ability is much stronger than the natives.

The bear orderly mentioned the doctor who deals with him is not easy to deal with, and always seems to be able to see what he is thinking. There are many players with such characteristics, such as various Batmans, who, even if they can't use mind reading, are quite accomplished in this aspect, and of course, Pride.

Schiller doesn't know who Pride formed a group with, but Pride is only one after all, while there are many Batmans. Schiller still tends to think that if the other pair of doctors are players, the one dealing with the bear orderly is Batman.

Batman has many teammates to choose from, such as Superman, Wonder Woman, or others in the Justice League; there could also be Robin, or even Catwoman.

Since he doesn't know the other party's stance, Schiller doesn't rush to communicate with that side. He doesn't care what Batman wants to do either; his primary goal now is to find a way to deal with that damn wooden man.

Schiller and Strange stand at the operating table again, and after pulling the lever, the next patient falls down. This one looks a bit like a human, but is covered with crystal clusters.

"Liquid crystal cluster type of ore disease." Strange just glances at it briefly and says, "Put on gloves, don't let the skin touch the liquid inside the crystals, otherwise there is a possibility of infection."

The two are fully armed, and Strange starts the surgery. He cuts a small opening in the place where the skin and the crystal connect with a scalpel, and then uses a drainage tube to release the liquid inside the crystal.

Schiller holds a glass flask and collects the liquid. Although this disease is not fatal and is not the plague infection he wants, this disease is highly contagious, and skin contact can spread it; perhaps it can also be used to cause trouble later.

This patient has forty or fifty crystal clusters of various sizes, each requiring incision and drainage. After all the liquid is drained, the removal can be performed.

There is no great pain during drainage, so no anesthetic was wasted. And when cutting later, Schiller prepared the anesthetic and injected it into the patient. The patient soon lost consciousness.

Strange cuts and removes very quickly; basically, two cuts for one crystal cluster. Schiller helps him pour the waste tray and handles the waste by throwing it directly into the fireplace to burn it; the white crystals soon disappear in the flames.

The surgery takes about two hours—mainly because all the processes that need to be cut are done by Strange alone; there is no one to cooperate with him, not even someone to hand tools, which seriously slowed down his speed.

After all are removed, Strange wipes his sweat, turns his head, and asks Schiller: "When will the patient wake up?"

"Ten minutes later." Schiller says, "This should be considered the most successful patient we have treated."

"Fortunately, his condition is not very serious..." Strange just says this when he seems to realize something and says, "It seems not quite right, we just offended the gatekeeper, how could he send us such an easy patient to deal with?"

"Easy to deal with? That's for the two of us." Schiller says, "You are a very professional surgeon; there is no difficulty in removing this kind of crystal, and you finished it easily."

"But if it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be so easy; some crystal roots are deeply rooted, and even have connections with the blood vessels and nerves of the internal organs. It is very difficult to both remove them perfectly and ensure the patient survives."

"Even if you are careful enough and succeed, it is very likely to be overtime." Schiller glances at the wall clock above the operating table; they now have half the time left.

"We don't know what the consequences of overtime will be." Strange says, "It seems someone wants us to experience it."

"There is another problem, and that is this disease, although not fatal, is highly contagious. If we hadn't remembered all the things in the manual in advance and hadn't taken precautions, we would have been in big trouble."

Strange nods and says: "It seems our previous high failure rate gave him the illusion that we are quacks, so he wanted to use the rules here to fix us."

"But this just happened to hit your muzzle, Mr. Hand of God. I'm afraid you'll be very busy next."

Schiller says while busy at the console: "Because we offended him, he will definitely arrange for us many patients who will endanger our own operation volume and are also very troublesome. Are you ready?"

Strange pouts and says: "Ancient people are just ignorant; this counts as a large operation volume? Even the most rookie intern in our department wouldn't be overtime doing this surgery."

"We'd better be vigilant." Schiller prepares a lot of anesthetics and various drugs in one breath, brings them over on a metal tray, and then puts them on the shelf, saying, "The final payment for the bear orderly is still missing some; we have to work hard."

"Next, we can receive three patients at the same time. I'll do anesthesia and preoperative treatment as well as basic cutting, and you'll be responsible for the critical part. Let's strive for 20 surgeries today and let him see our skills."

"Wait a minute, you're responsible for basic cutting?" Strange stares at him and says, "I have to remind you, the opening of surgery isn't just cutting with a knife; do you know the difference between several types of incisions? For example, which incision should be used for kidney treatment?"

Schiller leans over the operating table, picks up the scalpel next to Strange, holds it up, and smiles at him.

Then Strange sees Schiller holding the scalpel and fluently cutting an opening in the patient's side abdomen; the movements are skillful and the incision is very standard, looking like an experienced surgeon.

"Do you know why I'm so difficult to deal with, and the group of people who kidnapped me still insisted on studying me?" Schiller says while cutting, "Because I am the closest existence to a perfect human in their hearts; super memory, empathy ability close to mind reading, unparalleled destructive power..."

Strange stares at his hand movements; Schiller talks to him while neatly opening the patient's abdominal cavity, removing his kidney, doing a perfect job of hemostasis, and even performing suturing.

Every experienced surgeon will have some unique operating habits. Strange is used to pressing the fat layer near the incision inward when cutting; Schiller perfectly inherited this, and even the force is exactly the same.

"More importantly..." Schiller says without looking up, "Learning ability."

"That mysterious organization used all kinds of methods to manipulate me, and I learned all their manipulation methods and successfully used these methods to escape."

"Your escape wasn't an accident."

"No. My going to the later research institute wasn't an accident either. All encounters were premeditated."

Strange stares at Schiller's movements for a long time without a word, then says: "Do you think you can reach my level by imitating me?"

"No." Schiller says very simply, "You also fully unleashed your potential through a lot of practice. Many movements form instincts in years of repetition; I don't have this instinct accumulated by experience, so I have no way to complete all your operations."

Strange is not surprised and says: "Then other than that, can you do everything?"

Schiller nods.

"You always refresh my understanding again when I think you are outrageous enough." Strange nods lightly, then changes the subject and says, "Next time neurosurgery is short of people, I know who to look for."

"You can't afford my consultation fee." Schiller soaks the kidney into the jar and says, "And I don't have a license, so I can only satisfy my craving as a surgeon in this kind of medieval hospital."

"Alright, then, it's time to end the quack time. The two of us will become the best miracle doctors in this world."
