Chapter 331: 324 Hot Blood Has Turned to Ice

In Hai Cheng's winter, the smog is very heavy.

Tens of meters away, only a vast white haze remains in the field of view.

On the playground of Di Jiu Xiao Xue, frightened children shiver, their cries and shouts carry through the haze, like ghosts.

On the road from the teaching building to the gate, there is a pool of blood.

Just over ten minutes ago, when the children were leaving school, a man in his forties wielding a knife appeared here like an evil spirit.

Laughter and chatter vanished instantly, leaving only endless ugliness.

Homeroom teacher Yang Lili is 24 this year, just graduated from teachers college, full of ideals and passion.

She is accustomed to seeing the children off at the school gate, looking at their beaming faces; even in her dreams at night she laughs.

The haze is as usual, but what's different is the man who suddenly appeared.

Yang Lili reacted quickly, almost instinctively.

When the assailant appeared, she shouted loudly, throwing the book in her hand as a weapon to draw his attention.

But her effort was futile; the assailant still feared adults, his target only those defenseless, underage children.

Yang Lili was also afraid, but at that moment the children's terrified cries shattered her fear.

Facing the knife-wielding assailant, Yang Lili was stabbed twice in the chest, using her body to shield the children.

She could feel the stabbing pain and the ebbing of her life force, but the obsession in her heart kept her from retreating; with her last strength she desperately grabbed the assailant's knife-wielding hand, using her body to block him.

Her abdomen had been stabbed an unknown number of times.

As a young girl, her offensive power was nearly zero; this was all she could do.

It was as if a sacrifice; Yang Lili gave her life to secure the children's safety.

The assailant was then scared off by other teachers who arrived, and the blood‑stained dagger was thrown onto the nearby snow.

The blood had cooled and turned to ice.

Faced with the bloody scene, even several male teachers were at a loss; after calling 110 and 120, they also notified the principal.

They didn't know what to do; Yang Lili's face was like a blank sheet of paper, or a sheet stained with red pen ink.

Youthful vitality drained away with the blood, leaving only a husk, a body gradually growing cold.

They dared not move Yang Lili's body, fearing it would cause greater injury.

A female teacher who had a good relationship with Yang Lili knelt beside her, her hands covered in blood, frantically trying to staunch the bleeding.

But she could do nothing.

A male teacher steeled himself, tore open his shirt, and tried to plug Yang Lili's bleeding wound.

But,

everything was in vain.

The blood quickly soaked the clothing, flowing like a stream, freezing and solidifying not far away.

The rescued children stood dazed to one side, unaware of what had happened; some wailed loudly, some stood frozen like wooden chickens, panicked like a flock of lambs.

Several minutes later, the sirens of police and ambulances came from afar.

The sharp sound pierced the layers of haze, like a dawn, bringing hope and a future.

The ambulance braked sharply not far from Yang Lili.

Before the vehicle had fully stopped, Zheng Ren grabbed the first‑aid kit and leapt out in a stride.

"Move!" Zheng Ren bellowed in a low voice, driving back the crowd and approaching Yang Lili.

In the upper‑right corner of his vision, the system panel flashed a glaring red.

Hemorrhagic shock, lung rupture, mediastinal rupture, traumatic hemothorax, superior mesenteric artery rupture, intestinal rupture, and over ten other diagnoses flickered in an eerie red, like a demon's grin.

The system quest chimed "ding dong~" in Zheng Ren's ear.

【Emergency Quest: Hope in the Darkness.

Quest details: Save the teacher Yang Lili, who was gravely injured while protecting the students and is near death.

Quest reward: 500 skill points, 100,000 experience points.

Quest duration: 6 hours.

In this world there is much darkness, but no matter when or where, hope still remains. You are that faint glimmer of hope.

Zheng Ren still hadn't noticed the quest's appearance; his mind raced, assessing the patient's condition.

More than ten external injuries required treatment, but of course some were minor and some severe.

His time was limited; a slight misjudgment, delayed treatment, and the victim would die.

"Lift her onto the vehicle, prepare the incision pack, the scissors pack, and the IV set." Zheng Ren said quickly.

The stretcher bearers had already been waiting with the stretcher; upon hearing the command, they immediately placed Yang Lili onto it.

The nurse didn't know what Zheng Ren intended, but she still followed procedure, swiftly preparing what he needed.

"Open a bottle of saline!" Zheng Ren said, seeing Yang Lili's weak breathing turn rapid from the movement, and his speech sped up.

The stretcher bearers lifted Yang Lili onto the vehicle, retracted the stretcher, and closed the door.

The ambulance sped away, leaving behind a blood‑stained scene and people whose faces were pale, shocked, and anxious.

Blood pressure could not be measured; the nurse immediately cut open Yang Lili's clothes to expose the operating field for Zheng Ren, preparing a subclavian vein puncture.

Zheng Ren got onto the vehicle, ignored the nurse's puncture kit, and instead took the incision pack, opened the first layer of the scissors pack's wrapping, and poured the scissors pack into the incision pack.

"Povidone‑iodine." Zheng Ren said while donning sterile gloves.

The nurse picked up the container holding the povidone‑iodine cotton balls, opened the lid, and Zheng Ren's hand reached in.

He pinched a povidone‑iodine cotton ball between his fingers and began disinfecting Yang Lili's right chest wall.

Second intercostal space, along the midclavicular line.

After disinfecting, Zheng Ren picked up the scalpel, not even bothering to press the handle, pinched the blade with his fingers, and made a single cut.

No blood, Yang Lili's whole heart's hot blood had already been shed in the campus.

Zheng Ren then used a blade to cut the infusion set, taking a segment of infusion tube.

"External use salt."

Blunt dissection, hemostatic forceps clamped the infusion tube and directly shoved it into Yang Lili's chest cavity through the incision.

The other end of the tube was connected to the external saline.

"Gurgle" of bubbles immediately sounded in the external saline, and the scarlet blood was also drawn out.

Zheng Ren opened the suture line, held the needle holder with an angled needle, and quickly sutured and fixed.

"Disinfect, subclavian vein." Zheng Ren said while suturing.

It's a pity that Xie Yiren isn't by my side. If Xiao Yi Ren were here, these words wouldn't need to be said.

Zheng Ren sutured and fixed the infusion tube in a dozen seconds. Then he opened the deep venous puncture kit, changed gloves, and began the deep venous puncture.

A needle was inserted into the subclavian vein, low-molecular-weight dextran was then hung. The nurse also added a pressurized infusion set to let the fluid enter the patient's circulatory system as quickly as possible, gaining more rescue time.

The little traffic policeman, knowing the situation was urgent, drove the police car at high speed, the loudspeaker continuously blaring his anxious voice, trying to clear the vehicles ahead to buy time for the ambulance.

Even a second is precious.
