Matrix Survival: One random treasure chest per day

Chapter 75 Ruthless Dr. Xiao

"Well done."

With everything settled, Li Zheng smiled and gave Zhan Zhouzhou a thumbs-up.

"You too, those last few shots were spectacular, you used your genetic abilities, didn't you?"

Zhan Zhouzhou walked over carrying a lightsaber, then retracted it and handed it back to Li Zheng.

It's quite normal that they could guess that Li Zheng was using genetic abilities.

When the M4 was in Xiao Siyuan's hands, it couldn't even leave a single mark on the mechanical giant's outer armor.

But Li Zheng used the same gun to break through the mechanical giant's defenses and shatter its power core.

Li Zheng took the metal short rod and said meaningfully, "It awakened before I met you."

"...Hmm, quite a strong ability."

Zhan Zhouzhou understood the implication in Li Zheng's words. She glanced at his bald head, which, like hers, had already grown some stubble.

"Your sword is pretty good too, its power is stronger than a silver-grade ion lightsaber, at least gold-grade?"

Li Zheng was of course aware that the other party had already awakened their genetic abilities. The reason he deliberately added a question was simply out of caution, fearing that he would expose his secret of being able to detect player information.

"gold."

Zhan Zhouzhou also said meaningfully, "I awakened before I met you."

"..."

"..."

The two looked at each other for a moment, both understanding what the other meant.

That means telling the other person that you held back during your first meeting.

Li Zheng, of course, knew exactly what was going on and chuckled to himself.

He not only knew that Zhan Zhouzhou had a backup plan, but he could even tell on the spot that the other party had no ill intentions towards him at that time.

Otherwise, it would take less than a second from retrieving the Desert Eagle from its capsule dwelling to firing it.

In such a short time, Zhan Zhouzhou didn't have time to use the "Piercing Swallow" move before facing Li Zheng's Sand Eagle combined with the icy flames attached to ice and fire.

Platinum-level genetic abilities were synonymous with invincibility back then. No matter how skilled Zhan Zhouzhou was with his swordsmanship, as long as Li Zheng was willing to go all out and unleash a whole magazine of snake needles, Zhan Zhouzhou would be absolutely dead.

An eerie atmosphere spread between the two, as if they were about to draw their swords and have a serious fight to prove that they were the ones who were holding back.

"Whoa~~~ Damn it!!!"

"Are you even capable, you surnamed Xiao?"

"Who operates without anesthesia and just starts slaughtering patients?!"

Fengshan's shrill screams echoed from afar, interrupting Li Zheng and the other man's "deeply affectionate gaze."

"Let's go check on his injuries. If they're not serious, we'll need to figure out how to complete the last 10% of the exploration."

Li Zheng withdrew his gaze and turned to walk towards Fengshan.

It was as if the confrontation with Zhan Zhouzhou had never happened.

"..."

Zhan Zhouzhou's eyes flickered, lost in thought, as she stared intently at Li Zheng's retreating figure.

He made a half-clenching motion with one hand, but ultimately gave up on condensing the lightning sword. He then strode off and followed behind Li Zheng.

"Behave yourself, don't move your arms!"

Before he even got close, Li Zheng heard Xiao Siyuan's somewhat complaining voice: "In all my years of practicing medicine, I've operated on at least a thousand, or even eight hundred, bones I've set."

I've only ever seen comminuted fractures before, but wow, you've given me a powdery fracture... I don't even know if this injury qualifies as a fracture at all.

Feng Shan lay on the metal floor, while Yan Guang held down his injured arm to assist Xiao Siyuan in performing the surgery.

Holding a small, sharp scalpel, Xiao Siyuan skillfully and precisely cut open the flesh on Feng Shan's arm, resetting his broken bones one by one, occasionally picking out useless bone fragments.

Every time Xiao Siyuan stabbed, Feng Shan would tremble in pain, his teeth grinding together.

"You'd better bear with it, otherwise it will affect my surgery, and you'll be the one who suffers in the end."

Xiao Siyuan's voice was calm, and his hands, which were performing surgery, were as steady as a precise machine.

"Cha!!"

Fengshan continued to curse: "You make it sound so easy! Try having someone perform surgery on you without even giving you anesthesia!"

Watching helplessly as the other person sliced ​​open his arm, a scalpel deftly manipulating the flesh, it felt like being slowly tortured, cut by cut.

The pain was so deep that Fengshan was already being very lenient by simply cursing.

"anesthetic?"

Xiao Siyuan didn't even look up, and said indifferently, "Those are things that anesthesiologists should prepare, but I'm usually the surgeon, so I never prepare those things."

"Don't worry, I'll try to be as quick as possible to reduce your pain."

"Yes, I have medical expertise. Medical instruments and surgical procedures that pass through my hands will be given an enhanced healing effect."

"I guarantee you'll recover quickly and won't have any scars after the surgery." As he spoke, a pair of tweezers appeared in his hand. Without even sterilizing them, he directly inserted them into the wound and removed a tiny bone fragment.

"Also, you really have to thank Li Zheng for commissioning the gene serum. If I hadn't taken a few bottles of the gene serum and improved my control over my body, I wouldn't have dared to perform this surgery on you..."

“Ah ...

Fengshan roared in pain, his face contorted in agony, large beads of sweat streaming down his skin, pooling around his neck.

Looking at this scene, Li Zheng recalled the time when Xiao Siyuan treated him and felt a pang of sympathy.

Xiao Siyuan has a very honest and unassuming appearance.

In reality, when treating others, he is truly ruthless, never considering whether the patient can bear such pain.

Li Zheng had deep doubts about this behavior, wondering if Xiao Siyuan was truly a licensed doctor as he claimed.

Seeing Fengshan's pained expression, Li Zheng said with a look of pity, "I gave Fengshan a bone-setting splint before, which can be used to treat fractures in the limbs. Why don't you use that?"

"Bone-setting splint?"

Xiao Siyuan took out a cylindrical prop and placed it aside, saying, "I have one too, but his bones were shattered so badly that we have to operate to remove the bone fragments first."

Otherwise, if a bone-setting splint is used directly, the fractured bone may be overlooked or pushed out during the healing process, and if it gets into the flesh during activity later, another surgery will be needed.

It's better to get it done now and avoid future trouble.

"so serious?"

Li Zheng felt that Xiao Siyuan's words were somewhat alarmist.

After all, he had figured out how to heal his limb fractures on his own last time, and he didn't feel any bone fragments being pushed out, and he could move freely.

"It's definitely serious. This is the first time I've ever seen Xiaofeng's injuries. To exaggerate a bit, if you took out his bones and mixed them with some boiling water, they could be turned into a paste like lotus root starch."

While performing the surgery, Xiao Siyuan explained that his words did not affect the stability of his hands at all, and his movements were very precise. "Actually, it didn't have to be this complicated in the first place."

He then changed the subject, saying, "When I was browsing the trading hall today, I came across a type of nanorobot that is specifically designed to treat bone injuries."

Unfortunately, the price charged by players renting out this item is too high. Renting it for eight hours costs at least two gold-level gene ability development items, which is simply unaffordable.

"If we had that thing, Xiaofeng wouldn't have had to go through surgery." "So expensive? Who's the seller...?"

Li Zheng opened the trading hall and searched for a nanobot that was indeed available for rent. Upon opening its attribute description, he discovered that it was a rare platinum-level item.

Unlike the one he rented last time, this nanorobot is specifically designed to reposition bones.

No matter how small the bone fragments are, we can help you put them back together!

Unless you grind the bone into powder with a stone mill, there is no bone injury that it cannot heal.

Upon seeing the seller, Li Zheng's expression immediately changed: "Why is it him again?"

William Houston!
That persistent Mickey Mouse always seems to pop up at the most crucial moment to annoy me, it's incredibly annoying.

Out of sight, out of mind. Li Zheng changed the search terms and used ten high-grade parts and one hundred grams of titanium alloy to trade for two tubes of anesthetic, which he placed next to Xiao Siyuan.

"You should give him an injection. Not many people can withstand surgery like this."

To everyone's surprise, Xiao Siyuan shook his head seriously, rejecting Li Zheng's suggestion, and said very earnestly, "It's best not to use anesthesia."

With his hands still moving, Fengshan's treatment on his arm was nearing completion, with only the final suturing and the use of a splint to speed up bone healing remaining.

Taking out medical needles and thread, Xiao Siyuan skillfully stitched up the wound on Fengshan's arm, explaining as he did so: "Things are different now. Back on Earth, as long as you went to the hospital, even if it was just a small wound, I could give you anesthesia before stitching it up."

However, in this place, there are several battles every day, and in the days to come, injuries of this magnitude will become commonplace.

If you don't get used to this pain early on, one day you'll break down.

"Fuck you uncle!"

Fengshan gritted his teeth and cursed, "If you don't give me anesthesia, I'm going to have a complete breakdown right now!"

"Yes, let's give him an injection."

Holding the anesthetic in one hand, Yan Guang asked earnestly, "Dr. Xiao, before you administer the anesthetic, I have only one request."

Is there any way to allow him to still feel certain parts of his body after being given anesthesia?

"...You mean give him local anesthesia?"

Xiao Siyuan didn't understand what she meant at first.

Li Zheng's eyes showed a strange look, thinking to himself that this woman was still eyeing Fengshan under these circumstances.

It's simply brutal.

"No no no."

Yan Guang shook his head, revealing his neat, white teeth, and said with a smile, "On the contrary, what I want is to make him 'partially' sober."

Yan Guang emphasized the word "local," and his gaze lingered on the corresponding spot on Feng Shan for a moment.

"Oh……"

Xiao Siyuan suddenly realized what was going on. After looking at Fengshan for a while, he considered whether he should take the opportunity to help others achieve their goals.

The chapter is 3,000 words long, and the next chapter tonight will also be about 3,000 words long, to conclude the story of the ancient ruins.
