I'm trapped in a block

Chapter 597 Pain-relieving pills

"Not enough! Not enough!"

There were more and more tumors above the sea of ​​fire, and Dr. Liu's hands moved faster and faster.

The scalpel cut through the rough skin, parted the thick fat, picked apart the muscles and nerves, and scraped a clearly visible scratch on the periosteum. The scratch suddenly moved and moved towards the edge.

In the blink of an eye, the wound disappeared, but the ring in the sky became shaky and fell into the sea of ​​fire.

Doctor Liu gritted his teeth and looked at the circular shadows above the sea of ​​fire again.

"not enough."

The pain came too frequently and disappeared too easily, so that he had problems sensing the pain. Sometimes, the wound was clearly there, but he didn't feel any pain. Sometimes, the pain came suddenly even though the wound had been moved.

At the same time, an intense sleepiness surged into his mind. The fire was burning, and Dr. Liu's mouth became dry.

He opened his mouth, and his lips cracked due to being too dry. Dr. Liu picked up the scalpel and cut open his mouth directly. Then, the wound disappeared in an instant.

After the wound healed, I felt a little numb, and the vague pain took over everything.

"Now, I don't feel thirsty anymore..."

The wound can be transferred, but the blood will not disappear. Doctor Liu's whole body was covered with blood stains, like a demon walking out of a sea of ​​blood. But even though he had lost so much blood, he did not feel any symptoms of anemia.

A black cloud rose above the sea of ​​fire. Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was actually a series of ring-shaped tumors that were crowded together and rushing towards the sea of ​​fire.

The flames continued to burn these horrible creatures, but they also kept replicating and increasing in number.

Charcoal, earth, ruins... everything became the breeding ground for their replication. Even the flames rising into the sky could not stop their progress.

"too slow."

No matter how fast the scalpel was swung, it could not stop these annular tumors from approaching.

Doctor Liu stood in front of the sea of ​​fire, the scalpel in his hand trembling.

He turned his head and looked at the towering buildings.

Everything behind him was so peaceful, just like it was before the disaster. If it weren't for the arrival of the abyss, he might be in a building like that now, having dinner with his family, but now...

Doctor Liu shook his head, shook off all his wild thoughts, and looked forward firmly again.

Perhaps he is the only thing standing between doomsday and peace.

There had been no news from the teammates for a long time. The fire was getting more and more intense, and the black clouds were getting higher and higher.

Doctor Liu sighed, stopped cutting himself with the scalpel, and walked forward slowly.

He had experimented before and found that injuries to non-living things could not be transferred. Perhaps in the eyes of this relic, they could not be called "injuries" at all.

Therefore, the only way to cause harm now is to hurt yourself.

As Dr. Liu walked forward, he broke off a few more pills and swallowed them.

The scalpel was too slow, and even if he was determined to hurt himself, he would not be able to stop the spreading tumors in time.

The dark clouds are getting closer and closer. There is only one way out...

Doctor Liu took a deep breath and stepped into the sea of ​​fire.

"If knife wounds can be transferred, burns can definitely be transferred as well!"

The scorching flames instantly climbed up Dr. Liu's body.

"Ah!" He couldn't help but let out a cry of pain. Under the influence of instinct, he couldn't help but step back, but then he stopped abruptly, forced himself to raise his head and look at the black clouds above.

"Move! Move!"

In an instant, the black cloud suddenly caught fire.

"Sure enough."

Dr. Liu's body recovered again, and the skin nerves that had been burned resumed their original function, and the pain came again.

"Ah!" He couldn't control himself and let out a wail. His clothes and hair had been burned to ashes. His dried skin was exposed to the flames, and the slightest breeze would cause terrible pain.

It felt like the soles of his feet were stepping on a needle board, and the heart-wrenching pain instantly penetrated into Dr. Liu's brain through the recovered nerves.

"Pain! Pain! Pain!"

Doctor Liu picked up the red-hot scalpel, thrust it fiercely into his own eyes, and then stirred it frantically.

As long as you smash your brain, it won't hurt...

"Move! Move!"

His consciousness suddenly became clear again, and the wound on his brain was transferred.

However, the flames began to burn again, and another wave of pain came.

At this moment, Dr. Liu had only one thought in his mind: Continue!

He once again grasped the scalpel that was inserted into his eye and began to stir it...

The black clouds in the sky burned more and more vigorously. Not only that, the nodules were shattered by some invisible attack, and the originally condensed black clouds were actually swallowed up a little.

The flames obscured Dr. Liu's only intact eye. He could only vaguely see the dark clouds above him, but his burnt mouth kept muttering:

"Move! Move!"

"We can't let them pass!"

The scalpel kept stirring his brain. Dr. Liu's consciousness had become completely blurred and he was only controlling himself based on instinct.

In the diffuse firelight, Dr. Liu seemed to see his teammates.

The soldier from before limped over to his side, took his hand, and helped him to mash his brain.

Some teammates crawled behind him and hugged his legs so that he could stand firmly on the prickly ground.

Other teammates held his chin and helped him raise his head to look at the dark clouds in the sky.

More and more teammates came, and they fixed Dr. Liu's body so that he could stand in the sea of ​​fire.

At this moment, Dr. Liu felt so relaxed.

He didn't need any effort to stand, he just needed to concentrate on distracting his wounds.

The captain also came to his side, making the fire burn more and more fiercely, then he walked in front of him and hugged him.

"Does it hurt?" the captain asked softly.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!" Doctor Liu's tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and were instantly evaporated by the flames.

"It's okay, we are here." The captain leaned over to his ear and whispered comfortingly.

"I'm just a doctor, why should I go to fight..." Dr. Liu could no longer control the grievance in his heart, and cried, "I became a doctor because I was afraid of pain..."

"Captain, aren't you afraid? Aren't you in pain?"

"I'm scared too, and I'm in pain too..." The captain answered indifferently, his voice trembling a little.

"Then why did you all rush in! I was the only one left! I should have run away earlier! Why did I have to fight? Why did I have to be like you?"

In response to Dr. Liu's questioning, the captain said nothing, but just patted him gently on the back.

"For everything behind us."

The captain raised his head slightly, as if looking behind Dr. Liu:

Blue sky, white clouds, grass, green trees, tall buildings...

Dreams, peace, home, life, humanity...
