Chapter 498: How can you even fall asleep in this class?
Before the class started, all students silently mourned for three seconds; this was out of respect for the cadaver teacher, thanking them for their contribution to the development of medicine.
On the stage, after the teacher finished speaking, the students immediately lowered their heads in silent mourning.
Lu Yang and the others followed suit, their expressions solemn and dignified.
After three seconds, everyone raised their heads to look forward; the teacher unscrewed the thermos, took a sip, and cleared their throat.
Ptui~
The tea leaves and foam were spat back into the tea cup, causing the female students to show looks of disgust.
The teacher screwed the cup lid back on, braced both hands on the table, and looked down at the crowd: "As usual, before the formal class starts, pick a student to come up and assist me; which student is willing to volunteer, come up and help me with this, raise your hand?"
"......"
The venue was dead silent; not a single person raised their hand.
The teacher said: "No one raised their hand; I might have to call roll?"
Upon hearing this, everyone broke out in a sweat, straining to keep their heads lowered.
Nobody wanted to be the unlucky one called out.
Lu Yang turned his head to look at the six people beside him; each wore an expression of extreme guilt.
His gaze fell on Zhou Kaidong's face; he gestured, indicating, "You, this veteran comrade, go up and set an example?"
Zhou Kaidong's heart jolted; he hurriedly shook his head, feeling guilty—this kind of task wasn't his forte; even killing a rabbit would make him feel guilty, so let someone else do it.
Lu Yang then turned his gaze to Kang Changyi, directly adopting the instructor's authority and commanding him with his eyes to go up.
Kang Changyi panicked to death; he dared not go up, feeling his heart race and his calves go weak at this moment.
Thus, in a pinch, he cleverly reached out and fiercely pinched the person beside him, Ding Tengfei.
"Ah!"
Ding Tengfei cried out in pain.
The noise directly drew the teacher's attention on stage.
"This student, it's you."
"Ah?"
"Come up."
Ding Tengfei went numb; being called out, he could only helplessly leave his seat.
Standing on the podium, looking at the few people in the first row trying hard to suppress laughter, he mentally cursed Kang Changyi's ancestors eighteen generations over.
As a soldier of the Old Seventh Company, he initially wasn't very familiar with Kang Changyi; moreover, the other party was a lieutenant platoon leader, so he subconsciously thought they should be a rather serious person.
But after being assigned to a unit, then to a combat team, his impression became fragmented.
This guy acts like a person who's gone crazy, completely lacking any semblance of what a grassroots officer should have.
He's showy, loves to show off; when things come up, he can pass the buck, definitely will pass the buck, and if he can't, he'll find an excuse to blame someone else.
Especially when it comes to screwing over teammates, he doesn't hold back at all!
"This student, I haven't seen you before; what's your name?"
"My name is Ding Tengfei."
"Which class are you from?"
"I'm a... medic from the troops, assigned here to study and observe."
"Oh~~"
The teacher tidied his messy hair, smiling and saying: "So you're a soldier, no wonder you look so sturdy; a build like yours is perfect for nursing—after graduation, hospitals will be fighting to hire you."
"Would you consider coming to our school after discharge? As long as you have a high school diploma, you can enroll."
Ding Tengfei's face behind the mask forced out a polite yet slightly embarrassed smile: "Never mind. Teacher, this is my first time attending this kind of class; what should I pay attention to later?"
The teacher somewhat regretfully said: "Just be careful not to vomit on me."
Ding Tengfei: "......"
The people below couldn't help but laugh out loud.
The first time taking this kind of class, there's a high chance of vomiting.
Even the female students who have taken this class several times still feel nauseous and uncomfortable.
Considering that Ding Tengfei, Lu Yang, and the others came from the troops to observe and study, the teacher formally introduced himself as surnamed Liu.
Teacher Liu's appearance is somewhat unkempt, but his personality is quite good; he lets everyone not call him Teacher Liu, just call him Old Liu.
"Alright, now let's begin the class; this lesson we will talk about is, Giant Observation......"
The white cloth was pulled aside, revealing a severely swollen and deformed corpse, mixed with the foul smell of formalin solution, exposed to the air.
Standing beside Teacher Liu, Ding Tengfei's pupils shook like an earthquake, his mind went blank instantly, and a surge of acid rose to his throat.
Those nearest, like Zhou Kaidong, instantly turned paler than paper, and all their body hair stood on end.
Nauseous, uncomfortable, stomach churning; the food in their bellies seemed to be fighting each other.
Lu Yang's complexion also changed, despite having mentally prepared himself.
But seeing such a highly swollen corpse for the first time still shocked him deeply.
Giant Observation is a postmortem manifestation of severe corporeal swelling, with the skin taking on a jelly-like consistency.
Roughly speaking, it's like tossing a biscuit into milk, absorbing the milk and swelling to several times its volume, then stirring it with chopsticks.
The female students in the back rows were also frightened to the point of not daring to lift their heads; a few timid ones even dry-retched twice, covering their mouths as they rushed out.
Teacher Liu seemed already accustomed to this scene, directly picking up a sharp scalpel from beside him and beginning to lecture on the course content.
"The anatomy course is a required subject for nursing, midwifery, and medical majors."
"The course covers major categories such as bones, muscles, organs, blood vessels and nerves, etc."
"In clinical medicine, we will encounter all kinds of tricky situations, so everyone should take careful notes......"
Although Liu Laoshi spoke very seriously, not many people in the audience actually listened attentively and dared to take notes.
Colleges like this health school have relatively lax discipline; regarding grades and major requirements, they are not as strict as a medical university.
Precisely because of that, Zheng Chengfeng was able to pull strings and arrange for them to audit classes here.
Liu Ziqiang's face turned ashen and bluish, his limbs grew cold and sweated, and he kept his head down, unwilling to look ahead.
Although Chen Panpan's mother works at a meat poultry farm, that doesn't mean she can withstand such visual shock.
This time his face was full of pain, his mouth puckered like a toad, and he could only clutch it tightly with his hands.
Wu Sida and Zhou Kaidong both belong to the veteran category; although they felt terrified and nauseated inside, they still forced themselves to glance at the stage from time to time.
Each glance triggered intense nausea that made their stomachs churn violently, producing severe physiological sickness.
Especially, after a hearty, filling breakfast this morning, now they are all paying the price.
The vomit kept rising again and again, but they forced it back down with sheer willpower.
Lu Yang, on the other hand, was fine; his pen scratched away, taking notes diligently.
Repeated combat experience gave him an even stronger, more resilient heart.
Just the enemies he has killed with his own hands already exceed a single hand's worth, not to mention those who chop their own hands and stamp their feet.
Earlier, it was only his first time seeing a corpse in such a state, so he was shocked once; after the shock, it was over.
The purpose of this class is simple: to train courage; the more experiences and exposures one has, the stronger one's stress resistance becomes.
A soldier, especially an outstanding one, needs not only a powerful physique, formidable military skills, and military literacy; an indomitable will and spirit are the core.
"Huh?"
Lu Yang's casual glance surprised him a bit.
Ding Tengfei stood on the stage, completely terrified; his eyes were vacant, as if his soul had been drawn out.
Zhou Kaidong, Chen Panpan, Wu Sida, and Liu Ziqiang all wore expressions of extreme anguish.
If it weren't in class, if there weren't so many young female classmates sitting in the back rows, they would probably be spewing vomit everywhere by now.
Only Kang Changyi kept both hands on the desk, sitting upright; his eyes were wide open, staring unblinking at the stage as if completely unaffected.
Lu Yang really underestimated Kang Changyi; he didn't expect him to have such courage.
Suddenly, a faint snoring sound reached his ears.
When he focused his eyes, he discovered the fellow had already drifted into a deep dream.
The two huge eyes drawn on his eyelids were actually made with a black pen!
"Damn, he fell asleep in class?!!"
Lu Yang, instantly irritated, jabbed the tip of his pen into his thigh; the pain made Kang Changyi immediately open his eyes and gasp sharply.
Coincidentally, Liu Laoshi on the stage pulled a long object out of the corpse's abdomen and showed it to everyone.
Kang Changyi was so frightened that his legs kicked out, his eyes went black, and he went straight into power‑saving mode.
Seeing that the fellow still tried to play dead, Lu Yang forcibly pried his eyes open, pressed on his head, giving him no chance to cheat.
