Chapter 188: 0183 Ambush (Thanks to everyone, an extra chapter added after the outbreak)

0183 Ambush (Thanks to everyone, an extra chapter added after the outbreak)

From pathology to physiology, to anatomy, Professor Gu gave a detailed interdisciplinary account of his considerations at the time and his later reflections.

Seeing the old professor's head of white hair like snow, Zheng Ren felt moved.

Professor Gu had no system, yet he still broke through to the master level, reaching the grandmaster or master‑level rank, relying solely on years of accumulation and diligent study.

Although I have a system by my side, I still need to work harder.

Fang Lin kept watching the time; with five minutes left until eight, he went up to Professor Gu and quietly reminded him that it was time to start clinic.

"Then that's it, Xiao Zheng—keep note of the contact info; if you have time to come to Di Du, you can come find me." Professor Gu said finally.

Only technique draws close to technique; if Zheng Ren's diagnosis weren't clear, Professor Gu wouldn't have said that.

Zheng Ren bowed repeatedly, feeling somewhat embarrassed.

This is achievable only by relying on the system; I don't know when I'll be able to do it without the system.

Fang Lin opened the clinic door, and Zheng Ren and Su Yun said their goodbyes and left.

Before they could leave the door, a short man wielding a large black umbrella appeared at the clinic entrance.

Zheng Ren thought it strange—it's winter; although early winter isn't cold yet, it's still winter, so why is this person carrying a large black umbrella?

Fang Lin was alert as well, sensing something off, he used his body to block the man and asked, "Where's your registration ticket?"

The black umbrella fell, revealing a half‑meter‑long dagger.

Gleaming,

Killing intent,

Sternly!

The long blade swung, tracing a dark, eerie arc in midair.

Zheng Ren, who was closest to Fang Lin, summoned unknown strength and shoved Fang Lin aside with his shoulder.

The gleaming long blade fell onto Zheng Ren's shoulder, spraying blood!

The man stared for a moment, glaring maliciously at Professor Gu, pulled the blade from Zheng Ren's shoulder, and stepped forward.

Su Yun frowned, swiftly snatched the white square stool the patient was sitting on, and smashed it down onto his head.

At that moment Fang Lin reacted, seeing the assailant rush toward Professor Gu, he lunged forward and grabbed the man's arm.

The short assailant was no tough guy; Su Yun's stool strike on his head produced a loud 'clang'.

His forward steps were halted by Fang Lin, igniting his inner fury and making him even more enraged.

He swung sideways, stabbing the blade toward Fang Lin, who was gripping his left arm.

Zheng Ren felt pain in his shoulder, and his warrior spirit surged. His view was blocked by the assailant's back, so he couldn't see where the long blade was.

But once his temper flared, who could attend to anything else?

Zheng Ren had nothing to use as a weapon, and besides, his winter clothes were thick, making it impossible to inflict a fatal wound on the assailant, so he simply rammed his head into the assailant's skull.

"Boom~~~"

Countless golden stars fluttered and swirled before his eyes; amidst them, Zheng Ren saw the assailant slowly collapse, and Fang Lin collapsing alongside him.

"Ding‑dong~~~" the system quest alert sounded.

Zheng Ren's eyes were blood‑red, his vision filled with bloodstains—he couldn't tell whether the blood was from his own forehead or the assailant's skull, and he didn't hear the system quest alert at all.

【Emergency Quest: Brother‑in‑arms.

Quest Content: Successfully rescue Fang Lin.

Quest Reward: One master‑level auxiliary skill book, choose from—X‑ray, B‑ultrasound, nuclear magnetic resonance.

Quest Duration: 1 day.

Zheng Ren felt a bit dizzy, and his body was suddenly pulled to the side.

Su Yun rushed forward, lifting her foot to kick the assailant's neck. The motion was small, the force not great, yet it was precise.

That spot is the carotid sinus, which Zheng Ren knew.

The carotid sinus lies at the origin of the internal carotid artery; its wall is slightly thin and the lumen mildly dilated, hence the name carotid sinus. In the outer membrane deep layer of the sinus wall are pressure‑sensitive nerve endings, i. e., carotid sinus baroreceptors; on the ventral side of the sinus lumen are chemosensitive nerve endings, i. e., carotid sinus chemoreceptors.

If this spot is struck, it can produce dizziness, vomiting, and similar symptoms.

Although Su Yun didn't use much force, for such a vital spot as the carotid sinus, it was enough to knock the assailant unconscious.

With the situation under control, Zheng Ren suddenly caught sight of Professor Gu clutching his chest and slowly sinking to the ground.

Damn!

Zheng Ren cursed under his breath—not at Professor Gu, but as an outlet for his impatient agitation.

On one side was Fang Lin, whose life or death was unknown; on the other was Professor Gu, whose heart condition had flared up due to emotional tension.

In just an instant, Zheng Ren made his decision.

Because Su Yun had worked in the ICU of Haicheng Shi Yiyuan, she was more proficient at handling acute myocardial infarction than I was; this choice wasn't difficult—the difficulty lay in making the judgment in an instant.

"Su Yun, go check on Professor Gu." Zheng Ren shoved Su Yun forward and went to Fang Lin's side.

The assailant's 50 cm long blade stabbed into Fang Lin's body, then was pulled out. Blood spurted, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

Zheng Ren glanced at the weapon, observed the bloodstains on the blade, and estimated the penetration depth to be about 20‑25 cm.

In the upper‑right corner of his vision, the system panel flashed a bloody diagnosis—liver rupture, diaphragmatic rupture, lung rupture, tension pneumothorax, hemorrhagic shock.

Although less than a minute had passed since the incident, the wound was massive, and Fang Lin was already unconscious.

The worst part was that Fang Lin's injuries weren't limited to one spot; several life‑threatening conditions appeared simultaneously.

"Rescue! Nurse!" Zheng Ren shouted loudly while laying Fang Lin flat, then roughly untore or tore open his clothing.

The commotion carried outward; people had already come to see what happened. Hearing Zheng Ren's shout, several doctors rushed over.

"50 ml syringe, iodine povidone, opening pack, hurry!" Zheng Ren bellowed, telling them what he needed and could get fastest.

A younger young doctor stared for a moment, then realized what had happened, immediately responded, and hurried to the dressing room.

It was a well-trained Di Du Hospital, and the young doctor directly pushed the resuscitation cart over, with a blue disposable incision pack placed on it.

Zheng Ren didn't take the incision pack, but instead grabbed a 50ml syringe, threw the barrel aside, and the thick needle inserted along Fang Lin's right clavicular midline into the second intercostal space.

「Hiss---」 huge pressure sprayed out from the syringe.

Several doctors nearby immediately realized, this is tension pneumothorax!

Tension pneumothorax refers to a rupture of a relatively large pulmonary bleb or a relatively large and deep lung laceration or bronchial rupture, where the opening communicates with the pleural cavity and forms a one-way valve, also called high-pressure pneumothorax.

The more one breathes, the worse the condition becomes.

Compared to tension pneumothorax, the importance of bleeding and such is relatively minor. Apart from a ruptured aorta, tension pneumothorax is one of the most lethal emergencies.

「Prepare for emergency surgery! 」 Zheng Ren's voice was already hoarse; although he was shouting, his voice was extremely low and somewhat sharp.

++++

This section is a blend of the Wuhan incident a few days ago and the incident where a professor from Shandong was stabbed by a ticket scalper a few years ago, a real case. But writing this far, I couldn't bear to let an old professor suffer such harm, the hardworking, hoarse red stethoscope.
