Chapter 714: 703 Forgot Your Ignorance

"Oh, by the way, what's your surname?" After surgery, the wounded were lowered, the next wounded lifted up, Zheng Ren asked Liu Xu zhi during the break.

Liu Xu zhi was sweating profusely, having performed a surgery without even introducing himself.

"Is it because Teacher Zheng looks young that I overlooked it?" Liu Xu zhi immediately suppressed his inner surprise and apologetically said: "Teacher Zheng, please don't call me that; I'm Liu Xu zhi. Are you working at 912?"

"Yeah, just went." Zheng Ren turned to scrub his hands, "Go to another operating room and see if you can assist; I chatted a while and feel more energetic."

"Ugh..." Liu Xu zhi felt helpless, but hearing Zheng Ren say that, he habitually respected Zheng Ren's opinion, turned and left.

Anyway, knowing he works at 912, this is a great opportunity; if I have time, I'll go there for further study.

The surgeon in the Apricot Grove Garden Surgery Live Broadcast Room is like a dragon showing only head, never tail—hasn't streamed in ages. Moreover, according to Teacher Zheng, his skill is only higher, never lower, than the broadcast room's surgeon.

I can't go abroad, but going to 912 Hospital for further study should still be doable.

Since watching the surgery livestream at Apricot Grove Garden, Liu Xu zhi has wanted to pursue further study. However, after seeing the level of the broadcast room's surgeon, he doesn't want to just study anywhere.

In that case, I might as well just watch the livestream at home.

But now…

Liu Xu zhi was calculating in his mind, turned and left the operating room with a nurse; the airtight lead door closed, and the surgery began again.

Arriving at another operating room, Liu Xu zhi saw a different scene.

Mu Tao lay half-asleep on the sofa; in the operating room, Su Yun was performing surgery alone.

Liu Xu zhi knew everyone was especially tired; if they could sleep, they'd nap a bit, otherwise they couldn't operate.

As for Teacher Zheng, he's a monster.

After only assisting once and chatting a few casual words, Liu Xu zhi had already labeled Zheng Ren a monster.

"Hey, who are you, the new doctor?" The intercom in the operating room suddenly crackled, and Su Yun's voice came through.

"Is this asking me?" Liu Xu zhi straightened up and immediately said into the mic: "Hello, Teacher, I'm an interventional doctor coming from the front line; may I come in to assist you?"

"Yo? Quite polite. Come in and chat a while, I'm exhausted." Su Yun was performing super-selective on the screen, having slept fitfully, feeling more energetic.

This teacher seems easy to talk to; Liu Xu zhi made a "courting death" judgment.

Seeing no one crossing the line inside, he immediately opened the airtight lead door, entered the operating room from the prep area, called the circulating nurse, and washed his hands at the sink in another corridor.

After putting on his clothes, Liu Xu zhi consciously took the assistant's position.

Wanting to help Su Yun guide the wire, but seeing this teacher's technique was the same as next-door Teacher Zheng's—cross-hand operation.

This technique left Liu Xu zhi feeling isolated; he wanted to help but couldn't.

Must I act as a nurse, continuously pushing medication? Or am I merely here to chat, to keep the surgeon alert?

"What's your name?" Su Yun asked.

The words were rather direct, sounding impolite. But Liu Xu zhi knew that in this situation, communication tends to be direct. Faced with a scene like hell on earth, nobody has patience for pleasantries or perfunctory talk.

This person, asking me right away, seems a bit better than the neighboring Teacher Zheng. That Teacher Zheng only thought to ask me at the very end.

"Hello, Teacher, I'm Liu Xu zhi."

"Oh, I'm Su Yun; don't call me Teacher, just call me Yun Ge'er." Su Yun said bluntly.

Liu Xu zhi was speechless.

This guy doesn't look like much; who lets you call him "brother" right off the bat? And he doesn't look that old—really, is it appropriate to call him brother?

I thought that, but Liu Xu zhi has gotten used to it; when others tell him what to call them, he does. Calling someone "brother" won't cost him any flesh.

"When did you come up?" Su Yun asked while operating.

"After hearing the news, I rushed over right away. I arrived a bit late; I got the assignment, and it's already been 16 hours." Liu Xu zhi said politely.

Being able to get an assignment within 16 hours makes such a person extremely rare.

"Oh, back then… we were just about to enter South Chuan Town." Su Yun calculated and began to recall.

Although only a few short days, it felt like years; some things were unintentionally forgotten, requiring great effort to remember even a bit.

"……" Liu Xu zhi suffered another blow.

"You came pretty fast; where were you rescuing?" Su Yun said.

But this guy was just pulling a puppet, keeping me company; he hadn't expected Liu Xu zhi's reply, so he added: "Forget it, where doesn't matter—just surviving is fine. When we went into the mountains, we saw tens of thousands of dragonflies swooping like dark clouds. Did you see them out there?"

Liu Xu zhi felt looked down upon.

"Outside?" I'm practically on the front line.

But compared to South Chuan Town, I am indeed outside.

This person's speech is really unpleasant, full of arrogance, looking down on me directly. Liu Xu zhi quickly corrected his view of Su Yun, gradually returning to the proper impression.

"Outside I encountered many huge mosquitoes; I couldn't shake them off, and they left bites all over my body. One day I dozed off in a daze and dreamed mosquitoes were as big as people, swarming like a dark cloud." Liu Xu zhi remained simple-minded, didn't retort Su Yun, but related his own dream.

"I wish I had your ignorance." Su Yun sighed, then habitually blurted: "Sometimes ignorance is such bliss. If I had that dream, my first thought would be that insects couldn't possibly grow that large."

Liu Xu zhi was stunned; how could this person say that so directly, calling me ignorant? Does he have any basic courtesy left?

"Insects lack the mammalian heart structure and don't exchange blood oxygen to supply the body. Their blood can't carry oxygen; oxygen circulation relies solely on air diffusing naturally inside." Su Yun stared at the screen, seriously performing super-selective, murmuring seriously or not.

To Su Yun, these are fragments of knowledge stored in his mind; retrieving them needs no brain, just blurted out.

"If insects could grow that big, they'd die outright. Old Liu, I'm telling you, we're both materialists; next time you have this dream, you must open your eyes wide and see how those mosquitoes die."

Liu Xu zhi burst into tears again.

I don't want to have such a dream anymore; plus I'd have to stare wide-eyed at how those huge mosquitoes die.

Isn't that just nonsense?

"Oh, right, I forgot you lack common sense, you basically don't know this." Su Yun succeeded in super-selective, clenched his right fist, pumped himself up: "Push medication, embolize!"
